% 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

I'd heard great things about this spot in New York, so I had to check out the LA location. It's right at The Grove! I ordered the iced matcha latte and it comes unsweetened, but you can add syrup or sugar cubes. The matcha itself tasted rich and bold. Overall, solid but strong matcha. read more

I remember seeing this coffee shop in Japan but didn't have a chance to try it. I was excited to try it out here. I was really disappointed that the latte just tasted like milk. I could barely taste the espresso. 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

Not much to say here! Some good damn coffee on a rainy day just hits so different. It's just one gal working the cashier and the brewing the coffee, so be patient when waiting there! 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

a cute coffee stand and a great addition to the grove located in front of Nordstrom the founder of % arabica has an incredible story on how he started his business, the first and flagship store in Kyoto, Japan % arabica has only 5 location stateside, 4 in NY and only 1 here in LA! with that said, i had to order the iced kyoto latte w/oat milk omg it was so good! a really nice flavor, strong but smooth! service was meh. there was only a person working. i was second in line, she had asked the gentleman in front of me what type of milk he would like in his coffee (he ordered the same drink). when it was my turn to order, the gal did not ask me what type of milk i preferred, i then asked if milk was included in my coffee, her response, "its a latte, yes it has milk" LOL so i asked for oat milk the wait was about 5 mins, she was basically taking the orders then making the drink and repeat.. would def want to try the spanish latte next time! read more

Not really impressed by their coffee. Felt heavy and milky. I got the Kyoto coffee and it was just okay, I only drank half of it. You can't beat the ambiance at the grove though, especially during the holidays read more

I first discovered this Japanese coffee chain in London a few years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. So imagine my excitement when I found out they had a location right here in LA at The Grove! They have a little outdoor kiosk near Nordstrom. My go-to is the Kyoto Latte...it's smooth and flavorful, true to the Japanese art of coffee. Their pastries are also top-notch...don't skip the Kouign Amann if they have it - it's flaky and oh so buttery! Service is consistently fast and friendly, which makes it a perfect stop during a shopping break. So glad this favorite from abroad is now somewhat nearby! read more

Delicious coffee!! Wow! A must try!! We tried the hot kyoto latte and it was SO good!! Definitely a must Try!! read more

I was visiting the Grove and it was cold so my family and I desperately needed a hot drink. Luckily there was a % Arabica stall right there. Not a whole lot to say, but this is a good coffee shop option especially in the area. Service is friendly. I ordered the Kyoto Latte ($6.25) plus an extra $1 for Oat Milk added. Their sizes aren't the biggest, but the latte was good and had a nice strong flavor. I didn't realize there was condensed milk on the bottom until halfway through the drink. The drinks were made pretty efficiently too and the line moved fast even on a busy day. Would definitely recommend this spot! read more

I'm so happy to have found this spot in LA. I first discovered this coffee shop while traveling in Thailand, where they offered even more options like affogato. Out of all the coffee I've tried across 20 countries, this is truly the best I've ever had. Hopefully they can get a bigger place with the full menu items :) At the end stop drinking poor quality starbucks coffee guys. read more

% Arabica at The Grove was decent but not amazing. Parking is just Grove parking, so it's all paid. They've got a couple of tables, but the seating is shared with other nearby businesses, so it doesn't feel like its own space. Coffee was about a 4/5--ordered an extra shot but it still came out a little watery for my taste. Service was just okay, nothing really stood out and not much energy from the staff, though it was the end of the day so I'll give them that. Overall, not bad, but nothing that really wowed me. read more

Quality spot! I don't drink coffee, but I've been loving their Kyoto matcha and hot chocolate's. Very good quality! My husband really likes the coffee here, he even bought beans and it's his favorite beans so far for the house. He will be ordering more moving forward. Highly recommended, and this is much better than La La land! read more

After hearing many great things about % Arabica, I had to try it for myself. As a former barista of many years, I approve of this place. The flavors in the Kyoto iced latte blended seamlessly. It was the perfect amount of sweetness & creaminess. I really dislike when coffee shops make their drinks too sweet, but the Kyoto iced latte was balanced. :) The drinks here are focused on their quality over quantity and I feel like that's super important. I personally love to sip and savor my drink and Arabica is the coffee shop that you have to savor. They care more about the quality in what they deliver.. and most coffee shops don't do that nowadays like Starbucks. Also super duper unique how there are limited amounts of % Arabica shops in the US. So glad that they opened up a location in Los Angeles... super close to me! :) Now I can conveniently sip on my Arabica coffee whilst shopping at the Grove. :-) read more

% Arabica is located in a small kiosk just right outside of the Nike store. The service was excellent and the line (although long) moved very quickly. However, I felt like the drink itself (almost $8!) was super small, and I wasn't blown away by the quality of the drink. The milk could've been hotter, and the pull was not as smooth as I expected. Good to try, but probably won't be back. read more

I really liked Arabica in Tokyo so I was very enthusiastic about the LA location. Sad to report that there's nothing similar between the two except the logo and cups. I ordered a matcha latte iced and it was so grainy, watery, not thick and creamy at all. While I was waiting to order, the baristas inside were struggling to find what they needed to use, and the cashier said "this place is calling apart" right before taking my order. But not in a joking way. So sad! read more

I had an iced americano. The coffee was one of the smoothest I've had. It had some mild fruity notes. The employee taking the order was friendly and took the time to explain some of their drinks and made recommendations to my friends read more

I visited % Arabica on Thanksgiving Day. I was lucky that I made it just in time before closing at 4pm. I got the 8 oz, hot Kyoto Latte. It looked and smelled great, but at 1st sip, it tasted very roasted - almost burnt. I recommend stirring the drink to balance it out and get the sweetness. In my opinion, it was a nice drink, but not super special. One of my family members got the 8 oz, iced Spanish Latte, which was creamy and slightly sweet with lots of ice. The service was quick, but short as the staff was hurrying to finish orders and close the kiosk. I'd visit % Arabica again if I'm in the area and the kiosk is less busy. read more

Visited once. Walked over from the park because my nephew had a soccer game and I needed a pick me up. I always eyed this place whenever I'd come to The Grove. Bougie for sure. It's good. It did its job! I think I got the dark mocha, or something like that. Idk if I'd put it up there as an "omg. You HAVE to get it," but I wouldn't stop someone from getting it either. read more

Coffee here is good. There is a staffer who gave me my drink. She was so mean she actually ruined my day.

Strong aromatics and richer body is definitely what I got from Percent Arabica's Kyoto oatmilk latte. It's not too sweet and not too bitter staying true to the description on their menu. Not only am I happy to have a Japanese based coffee shop but I'm so grateful they're in LA because they're only located in LA and NY in the US. Great coffee to sip while you shop!!! Definitely trying all of their menu items when at the Grove!!! read more

Listen I totally get that it's the Holiday season at The Grove. Everyone is acting at their Costco best and has no spatial awareness. However, as a business you need to be prepared for this. Both the business and the employees. First of all this place needs more menus for people in line to see what they have - before- they reach the counter. That or an accessible QR code displayed. There were only two clipboards at the front of the line. When I grabbed one to look at it you would've thought I'd had screamed fire or something. Everyone in line was frustrated over this, trying to figure out what they did and didn't have. Secondly, the employees were so incredibly over their jobs. I've worked retail during the holidays for many years, I know it's frustrating - but it's part of the job to be a decent human being. The guy with the brown middle-parted hair and glasses was just so rude. I asked if they had tea and he gave me such a condescending "no we don't have tea here" with a sigh. I said, "I looked at your menu, and you don't have hot chocolate on it either but you seem to be serving it..." Mind you we ordered 5 of these, he didn't ask what size, then quickly brushed us off. Not one other employee in there seems to be trained in customer service. I'm not coming at it from a Karen perspective either, literally expecting a bare minimum "hello." Not thrilled with this experience. I can get mediocre hot chocolate anywhere else and actually find chai too. read more

I thought it would be better since it's a famous brand from Japan. This place is just a little kiosk in the Grove (which doesn't validate parking anymore, by the way). I ordered an Americano and it was tiny, expensive, and super bitter. If you're already at the Grove and need a quick coffee break, I suppose it's not terrible. But definitely don't make a special trip for this. read more

I would like to state the fact that my family and I have been waiting in line for this coffee spot for 20 mins just to be told the people ahead of us were the last customers. We came out all the way from san diego and wanted to try this coffee spot out. We wish someone came out at least 5 mins until closing telling everyone in line that they will not be able to place a order. The picture below that I have provided is the employee that was very unprofessional and told us we weren't able to place an order 5 more mins until closing AFTER waiting 20 mins in line. She shut the window on us mid conversation. read more

The Kyoto Latte is delicious. It has a strong coffee flavor using the % Arabica Blend base but is balanced out by the "Japanese-style subtle sweetness" as mentioned in their description. It's definitely on the pricey side but if you're looking for a good cup of coffee to savor then this is it. Since it's a small stand, there aren't seats designated for customers. It's one of those that you grab and just sit down and enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of the Grove while listening to live music, if there is any and people-watching. It's also cool how you can see the process of creating your coffee from grinding the espresso beans to making the latte art. read more

I got the iced matcha latte at % Arabica and it was so good, super smooth and refreshing, with that high quality matcha flavor that's earthy but not bitter at all.

If you're into matcha, this spot is definitely worth checking out read more

Let me save you the trouble: RUN. Run in the opposite direction, and don't look back. Why? Because nothing pairs worse with overpriced coffee than a barista with a full-blown attitude and a ring light ego. I walked in ready to caffeinate -- they were too busy taking TikToks and selfies to notice. When I dared to ask a question about my order, the eye-roll I got could've started a windstorm. Sorry for bothering you... with the job you're being paid to do? Safe to say, this was my first and last visit. Now I understand why every other location has a line -- and this one's a ghost town. Mystery solved. read more

Incredible Kyoto Latte with Oat Milk added extra espresso shot, 10/10. Would have again and again.

Been dying to try this place so when I heard about it opening in LA, I HAD TO TRY! It's located at the grove, right in front of the Nike store and by Haagen Daaz -- it's a cute little white stand. We were lucky there was no line and did not have to wait long at all! This coffee is originally from Kyoto, Japan so I had to try the Kyoto Latte and the matcha latte. -Kyoto Latte - very good creamy, coffee. It's not sweet so if you want it sweetened, make sure to tell them or they also have simple syrup by the order pickup! -Matcha Latte - you can taste the quality in the matcha and it's also not very sweet. I like my matcha to be less sweet so I enjoyed that aspect of it. Will be back to try their other drinks!! read more

Found in one of the white food shops on the greens at The Grove, % Arabica is a cute shop. Staff here is the best! Really friendly and kind. Not on them, but it gets busy so drinks can take ages to pop up. There is some outdoor seating anywhere you can find it at The Grove so grab your brew & buckle up for good people watching. This shop is originally from Kyoto so I had to get the Kyoto Latte, obvi. Tasty and clean coffee, enjoyed it greatly. Also tried their sparkling lemonade which was delish. So refreshing! I'm really happy this caffeine haven has opened up here and I'll def be back! read more

Cute pop-up shop located at The Grove right in front of Nike! I've seen this café trending all over Instagram/Social Media and felt intrigued to try it. I ordered an iced café latte with oat milk, and my cousin's lemonade. It was delicious! Definitely high-quality with a nice smooth balance of espresso and milk. It's worth noting that the total was $7.50 for a small size (not including tip). The service was standard--pleasant staff--and your drink comes out pretty fast after you order. Interestingly, no prices are listed on their menu (see my attached photo as of 6/2023 when I wrote this review!). Would I come back again? Sure! The price range is quite high compared to other cafes with similar high-quality coffee. However, personally, it's the best coffee shop in terms of quality and taste for a latte at The Grove! Not to mention, their aesthetic is super cute! I'll definitely be coming back when I'm in the area again! read more

I was pretty disappointed with a few things as a first timer. To start, you can just tell the workers must hate their job from the vibe you get from ordering. My matcha was really bad. I have a pretty low standard for matcha and I thought it was just unacceptable what they created--its chunky, bland, and warm. The drink doesnt come with sugar so you have to add it yourself but the worker wasnt very helpful/nice about it either. read more

Looking for a pick me up? As a coffee snob, I recommend coming here for your coffee if you're at the grove! I ordered a dark latte with oat milk and the espresso flavor was to perfection.
