I was headed to dinner at the fabulous Holbox, but driving there from Hollywood at rush hour is…read morenever a good idea. So I looked for a coffee spot closer to the restaurant at which I could do some work. Alibi Coffee is only 10-15 minutes from the restaurant, which made it a good candidate--and off I went. It sits on the corner of Washington and Raymond Avenue. While there's one-hour parking on Washington, Raymond seems to offer unlimited parking (other than street cleaning days)--the friendly, helpful barista directed me over there. Inside, it's a tranquil, clean and comfortable environment that mixes contemporary touches with brick industrial vibes. I'm in my cream top era, so I decided to get their Trademark Cream Top Latte, which uses cold brew and house made cream with a hint of brown sugar. The drink was smooth and not too sweet and, all in all, extremely enjoyable. Next time, I might try the Salted Caramel Cream Top Latte. I was warned it was a bit sweeter, but I'd like to see for myself. Wi-Fi seems solid, and there are plenty of outlets (yay!), so this was a great work spot. I'd definitely return anytime I needed to be in this area.

I've been to a lot of coffee shops, but Coffee MCO stands out for doing the little things right…read more From the moment you walk in, the vibe is on point. The music selection deserves its own shoutout--carefully curated, never overpowering, and the perfect soundtrack whether you're catching up with friends, getting some work done, or just enjoying a slow morning. The atmosphere feels intentional and welcoming. As good as the space is, the coffee is the main character here. Every drink feels thoughtfully crafted, with quality beans and flavors that actually let the coffee shine instead of getting buried under syrups and toppings. Whether you're a coffee enthusiast or just looking for a great cup to start your day, this place delivers. The combination of great coffee, good music, ample seating, and a laid-back atmosphere makes this an easy spot to keep coming back to. Coffee MCO isn't just a coffee shop--it's one of those places that makes you want to stay awhile and order one more cup before you leave.

This cafe has a nice ambiance and free parking! Something that you don't really see in ktown…read more I visited during the weekday so it wasn't packed. Their photo booth is really cute and easy to use, but you do have to pay $10 which is not bad at all. They have their pastries facing the street entrance to the cafe (not the entrance from the parking lot). I didn't know that they had pastries on display until after I had payed for drinks and had to make line again. Can't imagine how frustrating it can be when it's a bit busy and having to make line again. I ordered a regular matcha latte with oat milk, the color was promising but once I took a sip of it I was disappointed. If you're a person that likes sweet matcha then this is for you. I personally I didn't like it just because it was sweet and grainy. I could see matcha but could not taste it. My sister got an iced vanilla latte and said it was really good! Not too sweet and not bitter either. I would have to go for an iced latte if I ever come back to visit!

Another awesome coffee shop in Koreatown…read more And, you guessed it, because we're in K-Town, the parking situation is not ideal - doable, but not ideal. We managed to find a meter parking spot on the street where the strip mall was located though. There was no line to get in, no line to order and the wait for our drinks was minimal. We came around lunch on a weekday. The space is great. High ceiling so it feels bigger than it is -- and it actually is a pretty big coffee shop. All the tables and benches were occupied. Lots of people working or studying or hanging out. The CORTADO was strong, creamy and not tart. Love it. The ICED LATTE is delicious. The MATCHA COOKIE with white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts was delicious and warmed prior to serving. They roast and sell their own beans. Staff are all nice. Space is beautiful.

Great spot for mochi desserts and matcha. The quality is solid, and the service was excellent…read more The shop has about 8 tables, plenty of outlets, free Wi-Fi, and a very bright interior. It's quite popular, so there are always people coming in and out. Because of that, I would describe it as having more of a social vibe than a study vibe. I would definitely recommend trying the mochi dessert and matcha. The mochi was the highlight for me, while the matcha was good but not exceptional. While I enjoyed my visit, I probably wouldn't come back specifically to study due to the busy atmosphere. Ratings * Matcha: 3.8/5 * Mochi: 4/5 * Vibes: 3/5

This is the first time I didnt have a good experience with the flavor. :( Top of the einspanner - fantastic. However the strawberry puree was too bitter for my taste. I wanted to call to just let anyone know if they could just check the batch. But unfortunately theres no number to contact. Honestly it just needs to be more sweetened is all. Hopefully owners/staff is able to see this so they can taste test the strawberry puree. Otherwise, still love this place!
