    My friend said this was her favorite matcha spot in town so you know I had to stop by when I was in…read morektown. Similar to much of ktown there isn't that much parking but they have valet if you wanted to post up a bit and enjoy. Be warned that even on a weekday this place is packed. However, they have a good system and even with the lines I got my drink within 5 mins. Shocking as i've seen this taken 10 mins + at other places. I was pleasantly surprised by the space as it had a good amount of seating and while the outdoor space next door isn't officially theirs, people seem to use it as well so it opens up the space. I got their strawberry match since it is the season and it did not disappoint. The strawberry jam was tasty and not too sweet. Also got the double matcha to wake me up even more and I enjoyed it. I did see a lot of others getting their jasmine matcha so I will need to get that next time!

    This coffee shop is located in the heart of Koreatown. Parking can be challenging since there are…read morevery few spaces available, so valet parking is often the best option, even during the day. Despite that, the café is always busy, which says a lot about its popularity. The interior is modern and minimalist with a clean, stylish atmosphere. Their matcha lattes are what they're best known for. I ordered the Double Matcha Latte, and it was absolutely delicious. The matcha flavor was rich, thick, and incredibly bold. My only complaint is that the portion was much smaller than I expected. The service was okay. It wasn't particularly warm or memorable, but it was fine. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit if you're a matcha lover.

    Love this coffee spot! Staff is always super friendly and it's my top 3 matcha places. There is…read morealso lots of street parking and a nearby 7/11 you can also park at which makes this convenient since west la parking usually sucks! I always get the matcha with extra cream top:) Definitely should be on everyone's matcha spots to try!

    Stopped by Stereoscope for a cortado and had a really enjoyable experience. One thing that…read moreimmediately stood out was the barista's knowledge. She was genuinely engaged in talking about coffee, understood the beans she was serving, and was able to answer questions without hesitation. That's becoming harder to find these days, and it definitely added to the overall experience. The cortado itself was well executed. The temperature was right where it should be, allowing the flavors to come through immediately without having to wait for the drink to cool down. I was able to clearly taste the notes in the coffee, and the balance between the espresso and milk was excellent. The body held together nicely throughout the drink and never felt thin or watered down. My only critique would be that the crema and microfoam leaned a little more matte and foamy than glossy. It wasn't enough to take away from the drink, but a slightly silkier, shinier texture would have elevated it even further. That said, this was an Ethiopian natural, which can be a bit trickier to dial in and pair with milk while still preserving the character of the coffee, so it's a fairly minor criticism. Overall, a very good cortado from a shop that clearly cares about coffee. Good execution, proper temperature, clear flavor separation, and knowledgeable staff always make for a better coffee experience.

    4 stars for the sweet girl with glasses who took our order and the really good matcha and coffee…read more -1 star for the guy with blonde curly hair who has zero situational awareness and made me and my friends wait in line while he flirts with 2 girls ahead of us who didnt even have plans of ordering until after their 10 minute long conversation about thrift stores was up. Please speed things up the space is already small as is i do not want to be unnecessarily held up for my order thats gonna take me 2 minutes max to put in. Beyond rude and inconsiderate. As someone who works in the industry of servicing people i would never have the gall to do such a thing.

    My partner lives down the street so we come here very often!…read more Drinks: 11/10! My partner and I got the sweet corn matcha latte and the mango matcha lemonade (which were seasonal items) and they were so yummy! We both agreed (along with my best friends) that the sweet corn matcha latte was PERFECT! We even convinced one of my friends to re-order it as it was absolutely delicious. They have a couple of pastries too and we always come back to the ham and cheese + everything/cream cheese croissant. Service: 10/10! Workers here are always so friendly and knowledgeable when we visit and we appreciate it always! Hence why we always come back. Ambiance: 10/10. Small coffee shop, but it's so cute inside! I can see why it is always so packed inside and people come/stay here to study or work. Love this place and always love their seasonal menus!
