This is such a cute coffee shop that you can work out of, study, or just go on a date at. The lounge chairs are super comfortable and the service was wonderful. We ordered a few desserts and drinks to try out and my favorite item was definitely the Injeolmi Shaved Ice! I can eat that everyday.They have valet parking or street parking.

A bit pricy but they have variety of desserts. I wouldn’t recommend this spot for studying. It’s loud and not enough outlets.

The best spot to get amazing coffee drinks and desserts in Koreatown. I have tried their black sesame latte and it never disappoints! Love how creamy, nutty, and perfectly balanced the flavors combined with their coffee. I always come back for this drink! They also offer an assortment of beautiful of desserts. I really enjoyed their Injeolmi cake and Oreo bingsoo. So good to pair with coffee! We had such a fun experience here and I highly recommend coming! They're also open pretty late which is cool.
Found this chill and cute coffee in Korea town, LA. They also open very late up to 2am. Come with me!Highlights of the menu:1. Injeolmi latte - Dark sesame latte2. Strawberry matcha3. Hot tangerine tea4. Tiramisu5. Exotic cake - with the cute flower on topThis place has a lot of sofas and tables. Great for both hanging out and studying.

Really enjoyed this spot, and I love that they are open till 2AM. I actually preferred their smoothies to their coffee or matcha. But everything I had was really good. Personally, the shaved ice and crepe cakes were my favorite desserts. I need to go try a few other things next time.

What a hidden gem in Koreatown! This aesthetic cafe serves up the most unique and creative coffees and desserts as well as matchas! I really enjoyed their honey butter cream top latte and their biscoff tiramisu. This is a great spot to catch up with friends or get some work done. Staff was very friendly. I will definitely be back.

Myself and a few friends recently visited The Spot Lounge. Unfortunately, we had the worst experience ever and I am writing this review for the benefit of others who may be better off spending their valuable time and money somewhere else.First, the whole store is quite dirty and sloppy. As we entered through the parking lot in a rainy evening, dirty water was standing every where including on the steps which were very slippery and definitely a safety hazard with no alarming signs. The lounge itself was very sloppy: the floors were all dirty and muddy continued as one could see through the kitchen door which was wide open. Multiple big dirty water tanks were kept next to the kitchen area and where all the hokkas are and this raises a serious concern for ordering and eating food in this place. I am pretty sure that an FDA inspection will reveal multitude of apparent violations of required health practices in this place where food is served.Second, in terms of customer service, after presenting our request for being seated in a sheltered area to be safe from rain and a bit warmer, they rejected even though multiple tables were empty with no reservation signs on them. As we insisted, a Bobby-named guy emerged saying that he is the manager: we gently requested the same and instead of reasonably explaining why he could not help, he loudly said that he won't serve us at all. After asking about the reason, he started ranting and swearing like a gang person. Bobby was not even working and he was seating smoking hokka with his friends. It is quite unfortunate for the business owner that he has appointed this guy as the manager because he is an apparent threat to the business flow and operation. The way he treats customers should speak to the fact that he would be treating the employees far worse with minimal respect as we witnessed him shouting and ranting on the poor guy who helped us upon our arrival. Overall, very negative experience on the customer service presented by The Spot staff, especially Bobby, and all these were upon a very polite and simple request for being seated in a sheltered area with multitude of empty tables. Their behavior was quite unnecessary and this request is so simple that any other intelligent manager or business owner would gladly grant to leave the customer with a positive outlook and will for return.The whole experience, including the sloppiness of the lounge and kitchen area as well as the poor, impolite, gang-style behavior of the staff, especially Bobby, speaks to level of care that this place wills to expend for the customer. That reflects itself in the poor quality of food, hokka, and the profile of the managing personnel. Strongly recommend you to spend your valuable time and money somewhere else where it is neat and the staff present good social manners.

Great desserts. Super crowded and tough to find seating

The place felt really grimy and the sesame latte was $10... the only good thing is that it stays open late. I don't think it's worth it so won't be coming back for mediocre coffee

this is a great place to go to if your friends can't decide on one dessert to get. they have bingsoo, lattes, cakes and more! parking - there was valet for $3, so not too bad for ktown. oreo bingsoo - i shared this with 2 friends and it was the perfect amount. it is light and fluffy and not overly sweet. ambiance - there is plenty of seating, and i can see this being a good place for both studying or hanging out with friends. they also bring the treats out pretty fast!

Stopped by for a quick tea/cake break and had a great time! Will come back if I'm in the area again. It was on a weekday so parking was easy, didn't need to do valet. Tea (lupicia): 10 Cake: 10 Ambiance: 10 Service: 9

I'm honestly not a huge fan of bingsoo, however this place really changed my mind. The Injeolmi bingsoo was sooo tasty and I like how it was not too watery and had great nutty flavor. The texture of the ice flakes are structured in a way where it doesn't feel like it's melting too quickly. The nutty seasoning, the sweetness, and the mochis just went so well with each other. I will need to come again soon!! Parking validation is only a couple of dollars which I can appreciate.
