Post being trolled by the server; she told me there was no tea in this restaurant that is a coffee shop in the day time, me looking at a machine and having to get it myself from the bartender, my experience was okay.
The atmosphere was very cozy, the decor spot on, and the music surprisingly was very 2000’s with T-Pain and Chris Brown where they could have had fun with the inspirations of funk.
So to the food- we had the caesar salad, shrimp Alfredo pasta, and the bacon & clam pizza.
You could taste the freshest of the pasta, the sauce was creamy, and the shrimp was cooked perfectly.
The clam and bacon pizza was really good, enough to please a picky New Yorker. The onion, clam, and bacon came together well.

So, my amazing girlfriend and I flew all the way from Houston for her birthday extravaganza. I’ve been tirelessly planning every little detail for weeks, from deciding where we should dine, to picking out fun attractions to visit, and even finding the best shopping spots. One of the places I had on my list was this trendy joint called downtown dough that I stumbled upon on TikTok. The food looked absolutely scrumptious in all of the videos, so I made sure to check their operating hours. Lo and behold, they were supposed to open at 6, which was just perfect since we were already on our way and super pumped. Fast forward to Sunday, 10/19/2025, we arrived around 6:05, only to find the door locked. We peered inside and saw employees milling about in the kitchen, and this guy casually strolling by the door. I tried to get his attention by tugging on the door, but he just ignored us. My girlfriend decided to give the restaurant a call, and a lady answered. She bluntly asked why the doors were locked when they were supposed to be open, as per their advertised hours. By this point, it was already 6:10, and I was getting pretty annoyed. I mean, if you’re running a business, shouldn’t you be ready to welcome customers on time? Anyway, after what felt like forever, the same guy finally sauntered over and unlocked the door. We walked in, and he bid us a half-hearted farewell before disappearing. The whole place felt unwelcoming, no greetings, no servers in sight just a terrible vibe. We decided to bail and ended up at Emmy’s squared pizza, which turned out to be a delightful choice. We might just come back here next time we’re in Cali. Downtown dough? More like downtown don’t bother.

Amazing spot curated by Issa Rae and the Hilltop Coffee + Kitchen team. It isn’t just another pizza joint, it’s a full-blown vibe. Located in the heart of Downtown LA, the Hilltop café transforms into a soulful tribute to 70s funk, serving up inventive pizza/dishes and throwback atmosphere in equal measure. Don’t skip dessert here!

Went to Downtown Dough Friday for dinner and LOVED it!

Cute decor, great music, attentive service and bomb food.

Outdoor self parking lot next door was $20.

Funky Focaccia – cheesy & delish!
Say it out loud Caesar – very good! Just wished they chopped up the lettuce for you more.
Spaghetti & meatballs – pretty good
Poppin Pep – very good!
Tiramisu Banana Pudding – yum

Shout out to our waitress Duncan for the great recommendations and service.

Right next door is Hilltop Coffee & Lost DTLA.

Want to start off my saying…I love this place. Now that we got that out the way, here’s why.

The food and the vibe here are amazing. If you’ve been to Hilltop during the day, it’s nice to see the same space in a different way at night.

The name makes you think that this is a pizza place but the menu has so much more to offer. The waiter recommended we get the poppin pep pizza, the shrimpin at easy, and the calamari. We also had the cauliflower/truffle pizza, the spaghetti and meatballs, the mighty marinara, and the funky focaccia. When I say everything was good, I mean everything was good. The truffle pizza was not too truffley, the pepperoni pizza was delicious, and the bread was perfectly cheesy and lite. All of the pastas were really thought out. Not too heavy on the flavors, just the perfect amount of balance. While I was eating I was thinking…everyone needs to try this place.

I’ll be back asap to try everything else.

We had a great time here before going up to LOST rooftop for drinks. The pasta was really yummy and we loved the cocktails. Can’t wait to try the rest of the food.

The food and service were amazing!

What a great vibe! I was shocked to hear that it’s a coffee shop during the day!

The food was great! I thought the cauliflower truffle pizza and the bacon/clam pizza were shockingly tasty! Non-alcoholic beverages were a hit, and the desserts (we loved the pistachio gelato, banana pudding tiramisu, and affogato).

The staff was very warm, welcoming and attentive to our needs. I will definitely be back!

Service was good enough. I got the dish shrimpin aint easy, it’s very much is (eye roll) the menu said “tiger shrimp” i was expecting a nice sized shrimp grilled and seasoned to perfection .I was left severely underwhelmed. Shrimp lacked luster, it game microwave dinner fettuccine noodles hard . For 32$ I could’ve done sooo much better at home . My man got spaghetti and meatballs he gave it a 6/10 . Issaaaaaaa girlllll u got to get it together where is the soul?
