Funny story. We actually first spotted % Arabica in Tokyo, but the line was absolutely brutal so we passed. Fast forward to LA, and we stumble into the one at The Grove. The line was long, but nothing like Tokyo, and honestly way shorter than the wait at LaLa Land nearby, which is ironic because the coffee there is nowhere near as good (albeit thier drinks are more "fun") and photogenic. So glad we went for it. If you're a coffee purist, this is your spot. We ordered the honey latte and it was perfect. A great balance of nuttiness, incredibly smooth, and the light sweetness just enhanced the flavor rather than masking it. No syrups, no sugar overload, just really good, clean coffee doing what it's supposed to do. Fair warning though: if you're looking for an Instagram-worthy, sweet treat drink, this probably isn't your vibe. But if you appreciate premium coffee that actually tastes like coffee, this is a must-try. read more

My brother became obsessed with % Arabica after going to Japan and literally tracked down the U.S. locations after. This one at The Grove is one of only two spots in the country, the other being in New York, and it's this small standalone coffee shop right in the middle of the Grove. I've had the Spanish Latte both iced and hot with oat milk and my God the consistency every single time is insane. Smooth, rich, dark roasted flavor without tasting bitter and perfectly sweet. You can genuinely taste the quality of the coffee. What makes it even cooler is that the brand was founded in Kyoto, Japan with the idea of "seeing the world through coffee," and honestly you can feel that attention to detail in every cup. The vibe is clean, minimal, and just really well done. Definitely one of my favorite coffee spots now. read more

Super late post, but better late than never, right?! % Arabica is a kiosk at one end of The Grove at Farmer's Market close to Nike and Gap. They use dark roast for their espresso drinks which made their LATTE delicious and my MACCHIATO rich! There was a line to order but it went by fast. It didn't take long before we got our order. This is a kiosk so there is no indoor dining area. If you've been to The Grove, then you know that the entire "park" is you outdoor dining area. Workers are efficient and courteous. read more

The drinks were alight and not really strong for the matcha drinks. I would've liked to have a much stronger tea flavor preferably. It was also super bitter and had to add a bunch of sugar to make it tolerable. Service itself is great and the location/stand itself is pretty which lends itself to great photos but the drinks don't match it sadly. read more

Whenever I'm at the Grove, this is my go to for coffee. I always enjoy their Kyoto coffee with oat milk. I've had it hot and cold, both taste great. It's not very sweet so I usually drizzle a bit more sugar in it. Service is fast given that it's a small location. I would highly recommend it if you're in need of coffee in the area. read more

I almost tried % Arabica in Kyoto Arashiyama but the line was at least an hour wait. So I came back to Los Angeles, my home, to try it here :D Since it was a warm afternoon in LA, and I was missing Kyoto, I experienced their Iced Kyoto Latte. A perfect subtle sweetness, strong aromatics and rich latte body. Pair your latte with your golden hour for the perfect afternoon. @a.rich.verse (ig) @rich_verse (TT) read more

A fave coffee stop when we are in town. We've been to many of their locations in Japan and London and were really excited to see one so accessible in Whistler. It's a really pleasant spot to sit when it's not too crowded and the Kyoto latte is one of my favorites. It can get quite crowded especially on Sunday morning and the wait can be quite long. read more

I was super excited to try, but ended up kind of disappointed with my drinks. My friend and I went on a Sunday afternoon, The Grove was busy, but there's not much wait for % Arabic. If you are expecting authentic matcha then this is NOT the place. Their matcha base is pre-made and kept in a squeeze bottle. Our matcha drinks were done in less than 2 minutes. Since the matcha is not whisked and mixed well, it is very chunky and not creamy at all! The matcha is not earthy and complex, very simple and bitter in some parts when you swallow the matcha chunks. I don't recommend on trying this location, I know other % Arabic locations will do much better job than this. Staffs were nice and the stall was neat and clean. read more

Went to the Grove today, relatively short line at Arabica. There were a ton of people there today so the employees were probably annoyed but the cashier did have an attitude after just asking for the difference between a few drinks. Regardless, came for the coffee and ordered an iced caffe latte. It was disappointing as I could not taste the coffee but rather just the milk. I got the smaller size but It could be better if an extra shot was added. I probably wouldn't come back but it is a vibe in terms of aesthetics read more

I was super excited to try Arabica in America since I have only tried the ones in Asia. But before even getting my coffee I was already disappointed by the service. I went to this location on December 30th 2025 around 11am. There was a girl was on duty taking orders and a guy making the coffee. Both the workers seemed like they do not want to be there and hated their lives, which reflected on the service they provide to the customers. No smiles, no greetings, just straight up rbf. At one point, I went up to the counter to check if my order was ready. Before I could even ask or say a single word, the guy who was in charge of making the coffee and calling out the order goes, "it's not yours" with an attitude. First of all that's super rude, good luck with getting tips with that attitude. Secondly, sir who hurt you. I didn't even say a single word, chill. So if management sees this, just know this flagship location sucks. The worst one compares to the many locations I have gone to all over Asia and Southeast Asia, and it's not even about the quality. It's about your staffs and the non welcoming environment they create, which deter costumers from coming back. So if you decide to give Arabica a try at this location, set your standard super low. Because the staffs will disappoint you and that might just bring down the mood and the taste of the coffee. read more

So happy % Arabica made it to LA. Was my all-time favorite when I had it Japan, the one thing I wished to have back home. Love the coffee aroma from their beans! It's a outdoor booth in the Grove, but it makes for a good reason to also come shopping especially with all the Christmas festivities here. read more

Heard about this in Japan but didn't get a chance to visit. I'm not sure how it compares. I got the matcha latte with oat milk unsweetened. I believe it only comes in a 12 oz size. I don't mind the bitterness but it was just ok. Really quick and convenient. Literally took 30 seconds because they have the matcha pre-made in a squeeze bottle. The other reviews talk about bad service but mine seemed normal. read more

Service was good, but the prices are ridiculous. For four items it was $30. I watched her make my matcha with some green stuff out of a bottle she just squeezed it into the milk. To no surprise-- the matcha was no good. The ham and cheese croissant was no better, it was empty. The flakes kept getting everywhere and I could barely taste the ham or cheese. I get a better, more filled croissant from the donut shop down the street from me for $1. Never coming back here. read more

Heard great things about Arabica but never got the chance to try it when I visited Japan. Didn't realize there was one in The Grove til we passed by their kiosk on the way to the Nike store. I highly recommend the iced Kyoto Latte with oatmilk! It comes unsweetened but I always add a little simple syrup. So smooth & yummy. Perfect to sip on while shopping! They have 3 different sizes & the largest one came out to $8. Haven't tried anything else on the menu yet but there's no need to when the Kyoto Latte exists haha. read more

Really nice stall at the Grove, they use a Slayer espresso machine and the latte foam texture has a great mouth feel. The Kyoto Latte flavor is pretty intense and rich compared to the Caffe Latte. It reminds me of dark chocolate and about halfway the condensed milk starts kicking in and sweetens the drink over time. It might be intimidating for someone who prefers sweeter drinks, but definitely don't add additional sweetener, or it'll be overpowering. read more

First of all I learned that this place is a chain cafe in Japan which I thought was near and second of all the coffee is so smooooth. I wish I lived closer! I survived visiting The Grove on Christmas Eve day but this coffee was a great boost in energy. I tried their mocha latte and it was such a cozy vibe, it even rained a little while I was walking around with it. Anyway the coffee is delicious, it didn't take too long to get even tho it was a little busy and the atmosphere was lovely. Plenty of parking but it costs so... get it validated if you can. read more

Best recent coffee stand I've been to. Amazing lighting and if you end up trying it out you will start believing you're a coffee drinker even if you only had it for the experience. I hope they restock the cups for iced coffee because somehow I drank an entire Matcha latte in under 10 mins - wonder if the green was prettier would it have been tastier. I actually prefer the Matcha regardless but I enjoyed also the Spanish latte with whole milk. It was horrible walking through The Grove but honestly funny cause it's shockingly near the popular brands and basic pop-ups. I'm a fan of the concept, plus would like to have more locations to caucus at. Shine, baby, shine. read more

This little coffee shop is a tiny shop in front of the Nike store at The Grove in Los Angeles. Apparently, it's the spot to get your coffee while you walk around the shopping center. They don't have an extensive menu, but what they do have is just what you need. My friend raved about the Kyoto Latte, so that was the drink of choice. It will come in handy once it starts to get cooler. Tasty and reasonably priced, I'd get it again. The service is fast, as there were 3 employees working on a busy Saturday. The guy at the register could have been more friendly, but I guess he was just trying to ring people up as fast as he could. I'll have to come back to try some of their other drinks. read more

Super friendly Service. Don't forget the stamp card as I guarantee you'll be back for more! If you like strong coffee, this is a really good place as they can help you gauge which will fit your pallet better. I like mine strong and not too sweet and the Spanish latte completely hit the spot. A small 8 ounce gave me the good jolt I needed to dance around the grove with life music. If you like dark chocolate. the dark latte is superb! The latte foam on top is very smooth and not bubbly. And when you get to the coffee, it is so perfectly tempered and the aroma is heavenly. Very nicely placed between ice cream and pretzel stalls. Definitely can't go wrong here people watching and enjoying acuppa coffee. read more

% Arabica - Spanish latte hot - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

% Arabica is a well-known coffee brand with locations worldwide, but the closest one to me is at The Grove. I've been a few times, and while there's often a long line, I've found the coffee here to be pretty mediocre. The drinks are small and a bit pricey. This time, I tried the espresso tonic--it's a mix of citrusy soda with a shot of espresso. It was sweet, tangy, and bitter, but just decent overall. The service feels rushed and very "grab and go." I think I'll be skipping this spot next time I'm at The Grove. read more

If I could give it a zero I would rate this a 0. I typically don't give negative reviews but I was beyond disappointed with the customer service and the drink. I'm always in search of a matcha spot and this place looked adorable. The person who attended my sister and I (green hair on her bangs) started off rude. I can understand being frustrated when being busy but we were the only ones ordering since the grove wasn't open until another 30 minutes. And the drinks, my matcha was unpleasant. It tasted like I was drinking milk with sand. I ended up throwing it away which was disappointing. This has never happened with matcha before unless I'm making it. And my sister ordered a Spanish latte, and hers tasted like water without coffee flavor. Unfortunately, I don't recommend this place. read more
