I went during the week day in the morning and it was empty which was amazing because you get a lot of quiet time! I got the Tiramisu latte which was AMAZING! The girl who helped us was very sweet and she helped us out with suggestions. There was a space in the back of the cafe that had very nice area to sit down and relax. The place was clean and she kept cleaning table. I would definitely recommend to try this place at least once! read more

I have been coming to this spot for shaved ice for a few years now when it was known as Hang Loose and I'm really sad to say they've made a lot of changes that are NOT for the better. The good news is, there's still shaved ice on the menu and many more menu options. The bad news is everything else. What once was a cozy and cute shaved ice store with lots of natural light and relaxed energy is now a cold, run of the mill modern coffee/boba shop with none of the charm of its previous storefront. In fact, they've managed to make the space feel even more cramped than before and you really notice it when a few parties come in. They have yet to update any of their old business information (from an online search it appears as if Hang Loose is still in business), but the store now goes by Aviator and their menu includes coffee, boba, and really overpriced lemonade (around $11 for a flavored lemonade). I'm not sure what inspired this change, but at the least the business could try and keep things consistent by updating their web pages. To make things worse there wasn't a clear sign on the storefront when we visited so it's very confusing even trying to find this spot to begin with. The upside of all this is that the shaved ice has remained on the menu and still is reasonably priced for the portion you get. They have all the same syrup flavors from before, as well as toppings (sour spray and Li Hing powder). That has not changed from before and the shaved ice is as tasty as ever. I did not try their coffee or any of the other menu items during my visit, but I'm not particularly opposed. While some of it looks good, there are some menu items that seem very overpriced and if anything the real negative of this shop just comes from the experience. You order on a tablet, the service isn't particularly spectacular or friendly. They hand you your items without utensils and don't make an effort to even tell you where the utensils are. They ended up being by the front door but since 2 other parties came in after we ordered, the view of them was blocked and they were difficult to reach in the tight space. I'm not sure what they could do to breathe some life back into this business, but the energy of the spot is less welcoming and less comfortable overall. I'm sure their new menu items might be really good, but I'm not running to come back there unless I'm really craving some shaved ice. If I want coffee or boba I know spots that are WAY more comfortable. I'm hoping they can make steps to improve their business as they go down this new direction. read more

I went on a weekday, so it wasn't busy at all. The woman at the counter was very kind and recommended me some of their more popular drinks. tiramisu latte (3/5) - i wasn't super impressed given the high price and hype. while i liked how it wasn't too sweet, there wasn't really much of a coffee or tiramisu flavor... mostly tasted like milk. read more

Aviator - tiramisu latte (3/5) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

Stopped by here because we saw a post on Instagram recommend it! Parking can get tricky (on weekends) just to even get here, so we street parked! The place inside it pretty small and narrow so seating can be tight! They have a wide variety in terms of their menu, from anything to snowcones to lattes! Definitely a place that can be kid-friendly! Their drinks are also very aesthetic especially with the flowers! But as a place that has such a wide variety of drinks, I feel that they don't necessarily pack a punch just yet. We had their ube matcha and their butter latte. We haven't tried everything obviously, and maybe some of the other drinks do, but because they have so many unique items it's hard to know what supposed to be their special here! Love the quantity in variety but would love more quality if possible! Still a great place to visit with family and kids! read more

My experience here has always been a good one !! This is a neighborhood spot for me and I try to get here at least once a week ! My go to is their Açaí bowl and their Peach Cream protein smoothie ... absolutely delicious ! Customer service is always friendly .. They have a little seating area outside in front so you can enjoy the sunshine on a beautiful So Cal day! I also take my nephew here for their Hawaiian shaved ice which never disappoints! Thanks Aviator .. I'll be seeing you soon ! read more

I love how close this is to my home! They also open till late so it's a great spot to get some desserts after dinner. I've tried it a couple of times and I love their Ube Matcha drink and their pancakes! The tiramisu latte is alright. The pistachio is definitely good for pistachio lovers! I wish they allow modifications on the ice cream on top of the pancake since I'm not really a fan of coconut ice cream. I did request on the order to change it to ube but they didn't . Only thing is you can only order through the kiosk. read more

The place is not really noticeable, it has very basic interior including the menus. I wish they improve these things to make the cafe look more attractive and welcoming. We ordered pancakes, Iced Peanut Butter and Hot Pistachio Latte. The drinks tasted great. The pancakes were soft but not really tasty. The Vanilla ice cream and fruits were definitely great addition to it. There was only a staff doing everything so our pancake order took a long time. The cafe has a lot of potential and I hope they could improve on their wait times and interiors as well. read more

Really terrible. Your order is taken via a tablet, not a person. This would be fine, except that after you order the lady comes out and tells you that they don't have the flavor ice cream or syrup you ordered (this happened to us and two people in front of us). We didn't want the other flavors they had, so we asked for a refund. The lady said that she could give a refund, but would not be able to refund the credit card service fee. So we walked out having not gotten anything but having spent money. Waste of 20 minutes. In addition, shaved ice is $13. That's frozen water with flavoring. read more

(+) good drinks, lots of variety (there are more options on their tablet menus vs the printed menu outside) (+) nice presentation (+) wifi available (I didn't use it so I'm unsure if it works!) (+) nice outside ambiance at night with their lights (+) street parking available ( ) place itself/inside is very small ( ) quite expensive Though on the pricey side, their drinks are yummy and beautiful! We ordered the ube matcha, espresso, and biscoff latte. We also ordered a labubu jelly (which was actually quite flavorful) and a cookie. The avocado toast was good, though I've had better. read more

Small unassuming cafe nestled between a shaved ice and yogurt place. Seating area inside and a small one outside. We went to this place because we saw it on Instagram and the food looked super cute. Lots of drink and dessert options--it was hard to choose! Ended up getting the pistachio latte and ube matcha. The drinks were really pretty, but only gave off a generic sweet taste instead of what was expected. Food was very aesthetic and presentable as well, but was average. read more

Cute little spot on Kenneth. I saw this place on Instagram and thought I had to check it out. Everything is definitely way too pricey. I got the Sakura Milkshake , flavor wise it was delicious. Not too sweet. Consistency wise it was runny, not the consistency of a milkshake, more like a smooothie that's sat a bit. Definitely was looking for a thicker base. The girl was really nice and offered her help if I had any questions. There are definitely certain things on the menu that are decently priced that I would come back again to try. And if you're looking for ice cream, they have some interesting options for $3.99. read more

You know those places that have pretty looking drinks and when you order it looks nothing like the pictures? Well, Aviator is not one of them, and their drinks are very "aesthetic pleasing" if you're into that. The place is tiny, but it's clean, well lit and the workers are polite. Don't know how busy they can get as I went in at around 6:30 pm, but I'm sure on weekends and over the summer the place is probably packed. They have an extensive menu and honestly everything looks good. Decided to order the tiramisu latte and it was actually delicious. Not too strong and the flavors were amazing. My only issue with them is the up charge for plant based milk. Now, I've been to places where they charge between .75-$1.25 for plant based milk, but Aviator charges $2.50!!!!! That is insanely expensive. They do have a variety to choose from, such as cashew and pistachio milk, but still $2.50 is way too steep, especially considering their drinks are already costly to begin with. I do know the area they are in the rent definitely is not cheap, but still they should probably rethink their prices on plant based milks. I would go again, but this is not your everyday coffee spot, more like a once in a while treat. read more

I came in last Saturday afternoon. It's a cute spot in a nice area in Glendale. They have a kiosk where you order. I'm not sure if it's because they have self service that the staff doesn't acknowledge you but upon entering nobody greeted us. It wasn't busy. I ordered the chocolate covered strawberries and when it was ready I asked for a fork and the lady just said "it's over there" without pointing or anything. I also got the ube latte. It was sweet but I liked it. I was slightly annoyed of the customer service, but other than that the dessert was really good. read more

There's some sidewalk seating and a few tables inside. Order at kiosk and pay via credit card. The Dubai chocolate is yum. Like a KitKat crunch. The inside is crunchy and airy. Not a heavy dense truffle. They sell dark and milk chocolate. They have a dessert case but it's not labelled. The kiosk has some pictures but no real descriptions. Kid got ice cream in waffle and loved his cotton candy and strawberry. The açaí bowls were flying off the counter. My hubby got Arabian coffee on sand which is cool. For coffee snobs. He does pour over at home. It's a mom and pop kinda place that busy and has kinda a small savory menu listed on kiosk. Included Alfredo fettuccini and salmon croissant. This is not a service place. Basically no contact. Pick up at counter. The parking is street or alley lot. I would say the taste and presentation is amazing. The menu and the kiosk could be improved and updated to show everything they offer. They only have one kiosk to order from and it wasn't difficult to use but a very different than other "coffee/dessert" cafes read more

Hang Loose Hawaiian Shave Ice is now Aviator Coffee. They remodeled and added more drinks to the menu, but still have shave ice and acai bowls. Interestingly, they also roast their own coffee beans, and the beans come from Colombia. They also have Armenian coffee, lemonade, non-coffee drinks, teas, etc. I saw some croissants, cookies, cakes, and muffins. They also have ice cream. The surfboard and the Hawaiian decor have been replaced by a more industrial look. I think it was more inviting looking before. There are only three small tables inside and some outdoor seating. You can place your own order from the kiosk. Cappuccino ($5.50): no foam art, but the flavor was better than I expected (not too bitter or harsh). It comes with whole milk or you can choose an alternative milk (for an upcharge). Multigrain muffin: this was small and sweet, with a very sweet jam in the middle, I couldn't eat the jam read more

Cute drinks! But the taste was watered down. Staff is very pushy. You self order at the counter. Small area to eat inside and out. read more

Loved the creativity on the menu -- so many unique drinks and dishes you don't see everywhere! But unfortunately, the flavors didn't match the excitement. I ordered a Biscoff latte, and what I got looked nothing like the photo. Maybe it was made by a trainee? Either way, it wasn't great. We also had the sweet pasta-crepe dish (can't remember the exact name), which was a fun idea, but the crepes were super dry -- like they'd been made days ago. The "Russian" syrniki were tasty but completely fell apart, definitely not authentic. On the bright side, the presentation was beautiful, and the staff were incredibly kind and attentive. That alone made the visit better. Giving it 4 stars for the vibe and service -- just hope the kitchen gets more consistent! read more

I saw this place on Instagram, and it looked so nice and delicious! We even drove all the way from the Valley to try it, but unfortunately, we were disappointed. First of all, the place is hard to find because there's no obvious signage. Second, the staff/cashier who was making the drinks was very hard to understand. She wasn't clear with what she was saying. I ordered the Taro Labubu. The labubu part comes separately, and you have to put it in the drink yourself. Since it was our first time, we didn't know that. She said she would help, but I ended up having to do it myself. For $16, the drink was definitely not worth it. The Labubu jelly just sank to the bottom, and my drink ended up overflowing, sticky and messy everywhere. I took a sip, and it had no taste at all. It was so disappointing that I just threw it away because it was sticky, tasteless, and not enjoyable. Definitely not worth the hype or the price. read more

The food and drinks are delicious and the service is super friendly! Their menu is extensive. They have coffee drinks, acai bowls, smoothies, shaved ice, ice cream, protein bars, Dubai chocolate, etc. The inside is small and quaint. There's a kiosk where you can place your orders. I found street parking out front, but they told me there's a parking lot in the back. read more

Coffee is really bad we tried peanut butter latte and tiramisu latte, both were lacking balance and had burnt coffee taste. Hot chocolate is just a cacao plus they charge you extra 2.50 for a cacao with oat-milk which is ridiculous. We tried only drinks so definitely not recommending those. Service was okay. read more

Guys, I've eaten so much at this place that it's about time I share my thoughts! First of all they have the most delicious iced vanilla latte I've ever had in my life. They also have my absolute favorite drink - ube matcha, which I always order. When it comes to food, my top picks are the crepe rolls, spaghetti crepes, and the Dubai waffle from the sweet options (though honestly, everything here is super tasty). And I also tried their viral Labubu drink with melon SO GOOD. The melon flavor is just next level! I would also recommend their salmon croissant, very very good read more

It was fine. Walked in, ordered on a screen, there's a loud bell that rings and someone came out to make my drink (I'm the only one there for the first few minutes). Didn't say hi, didn't say really anything except to some other customers who asked what she was making and just said "tiramisu latte." That's it. The drink was okay - wasn't bad but definitely was not worth the $10 after tip (which I shouldn't have left, had I known). It looks a lot better than it actually tastes - I wanted something rich and this was pretty bland. Feels like the shop was made for the aesthetic and not the service or quality of the coffee. I don't think I'd go again. Spend your hard earned money somewhere else where you might actually get a smile when walking in. read more

Food is excellent. Ambiance and service are outstanding. Perfect place to have coffee, snacks and rest

This place should be great, but they are not equipped to serve people in the tiny space that they have. It takes them a LONG time to make anything. If you are the only person there, fine... you wait maybe 10-15 minutes (which is still a long time for such a space). If they are waiting on more than one person you are waiting anywhere from 25-60 minutes for your order. That is unacceptable in an establish that boasts walk-up counter service. Great in concept, but to pull of what they are trying to they really need a MUCH bigger space with more staff to help them make orders in a timely manner. It's a shame, because their offerings are great. I won't go back, though. read more

Such delicious sandwich with homemade pesto and amazing service. Very cozy place. Have gone back several times.

We ordered the special raspberry lattes and they were not that great. We also ordered the mini bites pancakes and the picture was DECEIVING on the menu. On the menu it shows what appears to be a bowl FULL of fruit with mini pancakes underneath and a scoop of ice cream in the middle. Instead, we got a measly CUP with maybe three blue berries, half a banana, five strawberries, half a scoop of ice cream and ten bites of mini pancakes... for 20$!!!! 20$ whole dollars for a cup of that. That's absolute theft! The young woman behind the counter was polite and helpful so the service was fine but the food was not accurately depicted. We will never be going back. read more

I accidentally ordered an acai smoothie instead of an acai bowl on their screen, so I told the younger worker if I could switch and just pay the difference, as I didn't want a smoothie. She told the older woman, who I noticed had made the smoothie already, and she came around to show me where to click to order the bowl on their screen. I proceeded to tell her if it would be possible to pay the difference. She walked over to the man, likely the owner, and told him in Russian. I guess he calls all the shots? At this point, I was fed up and just told her to give me the smoothie. She didn't budge, nor did he, to make me the bowl. They gave me the most annoyed look as if I had asked them for this outrageous favor. I write this, in hopes that someone from this business will read this and take it as constructive feedback. Please understand that the 50 cents you would have lost to throw out the smoothie and make me the bowl I wanted, wouldn't have made you go bankrupt. I even offered to pay the difference. Customer service goes a long way here in America, so if you didn't know that before, please know that now. It would have left you a 5 star review for being nice and willing to make the item I actually wanted and offered to pay the difference for. read more

The worker did not know English. Thought that if she put a lot of Dubai Kunafa in my ice cream, it would make it taste better, but it was awful.
