So I was at Chinatown Summer Nights last Saturday. I was also checking twitter and I saw couple of my friends mentioned about Cognoscenti Coffee here, at Chinatown Summer Nights. Well, I've heard so much about Cognoscenti coffee and I just had to try it.

They were using coffee from Handsome coffee roaster company.

Yes, finally opened a week ago. I came here for soft opening and opening day. It's really nice to see a cafe like Demitasse in Little Tokyo. They use Equator's coffee. They carry yummy pastries ($3-$3.5) from Farmshop, and chocolate from Compartes Chocolatier in Brentwood. They do have iced coffee or tea, but don't have blended drinks.

I've been wanting to come here since they opened.
I wanted to order Shio tonkotsu ramen, but I saw August special menu and I couldn't refuse "limited time only" special menu.

I ordered Duck ramen $11 from August special menu, and my friend ordered Shio tonkotsu ramen $9.55 with karaage and salad combo $3.95 + extra brown egg $1. We also ordered gyoza $4.95. I tasted both broth and the flavor was totally different. My duck ramen soup was sweet and I loved it. Shio tonkotsu ramen soup was more salty and strong flavor.

crispy chicken (karaage)
Crispy chicken was crispy and delicious.













Shio tonkotsu ramen (20 servings a day) $8.55
Pork broth; pork chashu, spinach, bamboo, green onion,fried onion













Duck ramen $11
Bonito and soy sauce broth; 2 slices of duck meat, thin fried tofu, mizuna leaves













duck meat was little fatty and slightly gamey (yes, I know, it's duck, of course it's fatty and gamey). But broth had a sweet flavor and it goes well with mizuna and ramen. I'm satisfied.













Added brown hard boiled egg
