Coffee was good paid street parking bathroom yes seating is a little crowded and can be hard to get a lot of Usc students come here to work. Wi-Fi is good but can be loud inside so keep in mind for taking meetings. Pretty solid café spot can't go wrong.

This coffee is okay, quite delicious. However, this matcha latte is average and a bit too sweet for me... The cafe is spacious, comfortable and warm! The waiters are very enthusiastic

I visited this morning(4/22 Monday). A barista Korean guy was talking to me unfriendly. It was my first time going there and I didn't expect this kind of service. I wouldn't come back again.

Showed up at 8:40pm on 4/15 to get a coffee and the first words out of the baristas mouth: " I already did the last call"I'm like I just walked in, how would I know that. Second to that is manners and greetings to a customer. It was going to be the first time having their coffee but I guess not. Will never come back with this kind of service.

Decent cafe, but doesn’t quite seem up to par with other Ktown cafes. While the coffee is good, there’s nothing unique on the menu. Decent amount of space, but nothing special. Seems like it’s good for studying, but if you’re going to be there for a long time there’s the topic of parking. There’s a paid parking structure in the building. If you get there in the morning it seems like there isn’t a parking attendant, so it’s free. Overall, a fine option if you’re in the area, but maybe not worth a special stop.

I stopped by on a non busy day, ordered the seasonal coconut coffee and had to wait 15 minutes for my hot coffee. It was lackluster tasted like tea than coffee and was not enjoyable. The ambience was nice tho, a great cafe to come work from.Maybe I’ll be back to try a different coffee out, but this spot is not something to write home about.

I used to go here often and started going again, because their customer service has improved. They have a delicious Spanish latte and it's a generous amount compared to some of the other coffee shops around that give you a much smaller portion. That out a lot into making each coffee so you have to be a bit patient if they're busy. The ambiance is relaxing. It would be great if they had more comfortable chairs. They have a good ginger lemon tea as well.
Great place to do work! I love finding coffee shops that have free wifi, good drinks, and lots of seating. This coffee shop definitely checks all the boxes. Many people were here doing work so it wasn't too loud. There were many drinks to choose from but I ended up trying the spanish latte and cream mocha. The spanish latte is definitely for cinnamon lovers - so delish. The cream mocha was not too sweet which I loved. I only hate how it's hard to find parking. There is a parking garage next door but it's $15 for the whole day. Or you could try to find street parking which won't be too bad on the weekdays. I'll definitely come back again to study here though!

Plenty of tables, great staff and great place to study. They have plenty of pastries and have recently added tanghulu as one of their desserts.

Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting this charming coffee shop, and it was an exceptional experience. The ambiance is perfectly crafted, offering a serene yet vibrant atmosphere. The music volume is just right, creating an inviting background that enhances rather than distracts.The highlight of my visit was the lavender latte, which was simply outstanding. Its unique flavor profile was both soothing and refreshing, making it a memorable beverage. This, coupled with the conducive environment, made my study session highly productive.For those in search of a coffee shop that marries exquisite flavors with a setting that promotes focus and relaxation, this is the place. The lavender latte alone is worth the visit!

Food - 3.75/5 I didn't try the food but the coffee was ok. Nothing super spectacular about it. Service - 3/5The service was subpar. I stood at the counter for a bit waiting for the guy behind it to acknowledge me. The (what I then learned after being rudely told it was not a self service POS) was pointed towards me so I thought it was a self order kiosk and they guy behind the counter would make my order when it came in. He rudely told me that it wasn't a self service system and then immediately flipped the POS back in his direction to complete my order. If the system wasn't a self serve he shouldn't have left it pointed towards customers to just tap. He looked like he hated his job and being there and making my order was such an inconvenience to his life. I'm not sure if he was having a bad day or if they were just understaffed but it set a negative experience to me. Ambience- 4/5 Lots of space to work and just chill. It's got a interesting vibe in the sense that I'm not sure what it's going for (kinda your typical ktown coffee shop but also this giant chalk board wall in the back) but it feels like a good spot to work/study for the day.

I'm a regular here since it's along my daily walk around my place so they typically know my order from the moment I come through the door. This is one of the best coffee shops in Koreatown. My other favorite is Alchemist. The vibe here is really great and there's seating and wifi available. Drinks- They serve decaf here so for a new mom like me that's really helpful since places like Paris Baguette don't offer decaf. I would definitely recommend stopping by here for a coffee if you're nearby. I usually get a decaf vanilla latte with oat milk and it's very good and high quality. Would love to see them offer a larger size cup as well in the future. Parking can be a little difficult to find but during the day you might be able to find parking in the neighborhood streets.
