I got the Vietnamese coffee this time around, but I definitely enjoyed their mocha latte more. The drinks here are decent overall, but the main attraction for me is the abundance of outlets, seating, wifi, and late hours. It's the perfect place to get work done or just hang out with a friend or two. There's plenty of parking in the lot, and it's not nearly as busy as other cafes, especially when I visited on a Friday night. The location is also super convenient since it's in the same plaza as several food spots and on a main street with plenty to do around the area. read more

Not the best but also not the worst- this cafe is located on the second floor of a strip mall and the main draw here is: 1. Lots of outlets! (Extension cords laying around on the floor lol) 2. Open till 2AM! The drinks and food are average, the bathroom wasn't the cleanest, the seating not the comfiest with old thin dirty cushions and wobbly tables, and the sound system sounded like someone put a phone in a cup. The workers turned off the music at 1:25AM and then turned off half the lights at 1:30, making it uncomfortable on purpose and obvious they wanted everyone out, so plan to stay until 1:30, not 2! But overall, a no frills place for limited options in the area if you want to get in a late night work sesh and plug in your laptop or phone, but I will still be exploring other late night options. read more

Visited: 4/14/26 Dirty Horchata Latte ($7.25) = 5/10 This didn't quite capture the classic horchata flavor. It lacked the usual sweetness and distinct rice taste, and instead had more of an artificial, powdered flavor. The cinnamon was noticeably gritty, which made it a bit harsh on the throat. The coffee itself also didn't come through very well, so the overall balance felt off. B.L.T. ($13) = 8/10 A solid sandwich with all the expected components. Everything worked well together and felt cohesive. It also came with a side salad, which was a nice addition. Matcha Lemonade ($7.25) = 6/10 I could smell the matcha, but the flavor didn't come through at all. The drink tasted almost entirely like lemonade, leaning very tangy and sour. The ratios seemed heavily skewed toward the lemonade, making it more citrus-forward than expected. Letting the ice melt helped mellow it out a bit. It wasn't a bad drink overall since I enjoy lemonade, just not what I was expecting. Total (before tip): $31.24 Parking: Most, if not all, of the parking appeared to be valet, which cost $4. Atmosphere & Experience: The interior is very aesthetically pleasing, with nice decor and good lighting. It's a decent spot for studying since there is free WiFi and plenty of indoor seating, especially near the edges where outlets are available. It can get busy, so finding a table might be a bit difficult at peak times. When orders were called, the staff spoke very softly, so it was easy to miss your name. There is a self-serve station in the back with straws, napkins, and water. The café also stays open late, which is convenient. The bathroom was slightly messy, with some toilet paper on the floor, but nothing too concerning. read more

This place is perfect for getting work or studying done! Tons of outlets to plug your laptop and phone into. It's also pretty quiet too. Lots of setting and the drinks are good not amazing but it definitely gets the job done. There's a parking lot with limited parking but you get an 1hr in some of the parking spots. Also street parking in the neighborhood and on wilshire. What's most important for me is lots of outlets, environment where I can focus and aesthetic. Awesome Coffee has all of that. Also just a heads up it's on the 2nd floor of this mini mall complex and not sure if there's an elevator. My wife and I took the stairs. Try it out! Also this spot is open late til 2am! One of the few coffee shops I know that are open that late! read more

I used to love coming to this spot to study years back. The ambiance and music really put me in a locking in mood. I recently dropped by and ordered a matcha latte. Please order what they're known for, which is their coffee. I can vouch for how their coffee tastes but I could not enjoy this matcha drink. The worker that day didn't hear my order when I said it 3 times because they had their earphone on? However, the owner for this place is always so on top of it and works so hard! Drop by if you ever need a place to study. I will say the parking is a little hard but the metro is pretty close by read more

Awesome Coffee - Matcha Latte - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After eating dinner in ktown, we were looking to see what would be a good way to end the night for my belated birthday celebration. Eventually I decided on checking this place out as the aesthetics and vibes were what I was feeling that night. The coffee shop is located in a small corner plaza in koreatown. You'll either be lucky with parking or have to find street parking nearby. There's also a valet at the plaza but I think that's mainly for the restaurant there. Upon entering, it is very much like a college student study cafe area. It's moderately decorated to look like a reading area in one corner, the rest looking modern for the folks who want to get work done. Despite the small area, I think the spacing allotted per table was just right as it didn't feel too cramped. I ordered a simple latte to end the night on a good note. Not too expensive overall for the cup, and my friend got the matcha affogato which tasted pretty good to them too. read more

Probably the first late night coffee shop I've found. Being a night owl, always love to find somewhere that caters to those who stay up a bit later than the average person - they don't close until 2am. You'll find some great drinks here. Their matcha latte stays true to the matcha flavor while also being super refreshing with the lemonade. A delicious, light choice. Their strawberry matcha latte was also tasty - richer and more decadent - good for someone with a sweeter tooth. Didn't grab food, but they had a great selection of food if you're hungry or plan to stay a bit longer. We came after midnight, and it was still packed. We got the last available table. So definitely a more popular place for meeting up and getting work done. Drinks are a bit pricier. Overall, a good choice for coffee and getting down last minute work done. read more

Awesome Coffee - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Open super late and at the late hours, the plaza still had parking which is a plus in K-town. Despite it being a Wednesday night, it was a packed house of people hanging out, working, or studying. Huge vibe shift from other areas, I'm sure. The cafe itself gives a chill vibe with the warm lighting, and bookcase shelves. The worker there was polite. It just sucks that even though they're open quite late, the kitchen closes hours earlier...Maybe next time I'm in the area I can get there earlier. read more

Awesome is my favorite coffee shop in LA, and I drive cross-town for it at least a few times a month. The ambience is perfect for working or studying. Customers tend to be respectful and quiet most of the time. I love the strawberry matcha latte and peanut butter latte. Prices are a little on the higher side, but it's a fair trade to me because they have the most plentiful outlets I've ever seen in a cafe, the seating is ample, and the atmosphere is truly so cute and comfortable. I like their playlist a lot too (even though I pretty much have it memorized at this point, haha, because I go there so much!). It's also open super late, which I really appreciate in this city where so many coffee shops close at 3pm. Safe to say, Awesome lives up to its name! read more

Had a meeting and wanted a coffee shop that was open late. Koreatown seemed like a neutral place to meet and that's where the search engine took me. Awesome Coffee is AWESOME and located upstairs in a shopping complex. As you walk in you are welcomed into a cozy living room style set up with quaint seating, shelves of books and games. People were busy on their laptops or in conversation with one another. The barista was very nice and the menu had breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts. We ordered the strawberry matcha latte and the peanut butter latter with almond milk. I will definitely go back again. read more

I've come here twice now to study and have had great experiences each time! I can't speak to their pastries or drinks other than their matcha, but the study atmosphere is fantastic. I'm unsure exactly how parking works in the plaza (the cafe is upstairs) but I park across the street in the parking spot for Tom N Toms Black coffee, since it is a little more protected. There are plenty of spaces to sit, when I came here on a Saturday midday it was a little more busy but on a Saturday morning, you can definitely get a corner to yourself. There are some nicer sofa chairs, as well as spaces along their window. The wifi is free and easy to use, and there are many outlets for you to use. There is plenty of natural lighting as well from the large windows. My only regret is that I forgot my laptop charger one of the times I was here. The matcha latte is not the most concentrated but still a great taste and not too watered down, I always get it iced but my friend's hot version came with cute latte art in a mug. The service was great and my drink did not take long to come out. The pricing is pretty standard for cafe drinks these days, and isn't absurd. I would definitely come again if I need to get some work done. read more

With my continued search of finding good study spots, I stopped by Awesome Coffee. This is located on the second floor. There is an available parking lot shared with other businesses. I went around 10 am on a Saturday and it wasn't busy at the time. For the interior, it felt more spacious compared to how it looked outside. There were many seats for small groups to single seating by the window. There were outlets available primarily near the window. There's also free WiFi with the code available at the front register. It was good and reliable connection. The noise level was mainly low, but could be moderate when the staff was using their machine. For my order, I was craving something sweeter that day. I decided to get a Horchata latte with oat milk. It was definitely a sweet drink. You'll like this drink if you have a sweet tooth. The drink was ready within 5 minutes. If you need a restroom, there is a shared one located in the back. Note: American express is accepted. read more

I visited on a saturday afternoon and stayed for a few hours to get some work done. Very cool vibes. Great atmosphere to just kick it with a friend or slap on your headphones and get some work or studying done. I do recommend headphones, not that it gets loud, just because it fills up fast and headphones are good for blocking out other people's conversations. Lots of outlets which is super convenient but the wifi is a bit unreliable so have your Hotspot ready (reason for my 1 star deduction). Service was great and food was great. I had avocado toast which was really good, nice and fresh, great flavor with the balsamic drizzle. Also had an iced dirty chai, which was great, and an iced passion berry tea,, which was pretty good as well. No menu complaints. I'll definitely be back to try some more menu items, a lot of it looked REALLY good. Pretty good experience overall. read more

I appreciate how late this space stays open & the varying seating arrangements. Drinks are always good.

Great place to study or an atmosphere to catch up with friends. Drinks and food purchases just feel like an entry fee to stay which is fine. Nothing was bad! But I felt like I had a tough time deciding what to get. Settled for hot teas which were not bad but not that great either read more

Awesome Coffee - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Honestly it was one of the most interesting experiences so far as a person who goes around looking for new coffee shops. The place itself looks great has a lot of space to sit and specially it does have aesthetic vibes. Both the latte and the sandwich were great. However, it wasn't what I order, I try telling the employee that I didn't got a hot latte instead I order a cold latte. She didn't offer to switch it until after I decided to leave. But at least I got a nice picture. Once again there's no problem with the drinks or food just as a first time customer I didn't have a great experience. But, for sure I will give a second chance to this place. read more

I liked this place. My sibling and I went here for a late night study panic session and the service was nice. Really cool that it's open till the wee hours of the night!!! Also there's a good amount of free parking. We ended up going into a second lot that was a little further from the main one. (Walking there late at night was a little spooky but also tis the night) The ambiance also great, very hip seeming. I don't know how to describe things. My sibling got a mint mocha coffee type thing (forgot to ask) but she said it was really good! I got a chicken sandwich which was also good but I don't know if it was worth the price since it's something I could've made at home. It's on me though cause it's called awesome coffee not awesome sandwiches. Also I wanted dessert (second dinner) alas alas my poor wallet we still would probably return so 5 stars read more

Awesome Coffee - Oreo Matcha Latte with Tiramisu Latte - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Awesome coffee may have been more awesome back in its heyday but not sure if it still lives up to it's name today. The Vietnamese iced coffee was...not very Vietnamese. When I ordered it, the staff member turned around and I saw her grab tall glasses of black coffee already sitting on the counter behind her. She poured the coffee into a tall glass which she rimmed with condensed milk. I was a bit concerned at how long that coffee was sitting on the counter but I took it regardless. The Vietnamese coffee was subpar, and could definitely be improved. It didn't have that strong robust taste that comes with Vietnamese iced coffee, and surprisingly even though the glass was rimmed with condensed milk, the drink didn't have that overly sweet taste that balances out the strong Vietnamese coffee. The huge positive though about why I would still come to Awesome coffee is the ample table space, a multitude of electrical outlets that are questionably plugged into one another, the dark library room aestetic, and soft jazz music that makes Awesome coffee a pretty darn good place to work remotely on your laptop. Valet parking is $3 in the little plaza, which isn't terrible for LA, but I believe it's free if you're able to just find a parking spot on your own? Someone should double check that. read more

TL;DR Drinks are overpriced and not good, but really nice ambiance and studyable From a student's perspective, I would only go here if I really had to get out of the house and study late at night or for a long, long period of time. Got a matcha latte, and it was extremely watered down just tasted like milk and it was extremly overpriced. On the brightside, the ambiance here was really cozy and there was a good availability of outlets. read more

Will definitely be back and on my free work list of cafes to go to now! read more

Great coffee shop--everyone was very friendly and it had a very welcoming and comfortable vibe. The coffee (I had a latte with almond milk) was very good. I didn't have any food but saw people eating pastries and a sandwich and everything looked great, so I will be back to try food with coffee soon. read more

It has potential, but I kinda stopped going bcoz the MENU IS SO OUTDATED, even one cashier agreed with me and she gets some comments from repeat customers that the menu is so stale. The owner is a young entrepreneur, but he's so simple minded where doesn't think of evolving the concept of his business even the menu. No new or seasonal drinks / or any new menu entree Also - the serving amount of drinks got downsized. Too bad bcoz the ambiance is so delightful and sitting next to window glass with overlooking view of the street corner is unmatched compare to other similar cafes ! read more

My family and I wanted some coffee after lunch so we went here. At first glance, the place looks really nice! It's really cute and well decorated. My mom took a lot of pictures with some of the antique pieces that they had. It was really empty and quiet, so it seems like the perfect place for people to study. That being said, the coffee was hard to drink. My family took 2 sips and we all threw out our coffee. It was really hard to swallow for us. Perhaps the other drinks outside of coffee would be better read more

This a cool spot that open til late night to come study or do some work. It is also nice to come hang with friends and or on an intimate date. There's a parking lot which is also very convenient. The coffee itself was not the best, my partner ordered an horchata latte and I ordered a peppermint mocha and they tasted exactly the same. We also ordered chocolate chip waffles, but gave us cookies instead. Luckily the cookies were pretty good. Overall the aesthetic and the convenience make this coffee shop because the coffee itself isn't something worth making the drive for. read more

A very nice late night, coffee house with comfortable seating, free Wi-Fi and a relaxed and quiet atmosphere. Service is courteous and friendly, menu includes non-beverage items such as pastries, fresh waffles, ice cream, and parfaits. They make an unusual assortment of different beverages, including Boba and crystal Boba, and every recipe can be made "dirty "with an extra espresso shot. This is on the second floor of the mall, and sometimes the elevator is out of order, but there is a ramp system at the far east end of the mall. Otherwise two flights of stairs are required. all in all a wonderful spot that stays open till the early morning hours of 2 AM. read more

VERY CHEAP CUPS, I cut my lip on it. Went in for a Macha, ended up getting just milk and some green tea. Service was awkward, didn't ask if I wanted anything else or friendly, just neutral. $8 for milk and little green tea powder is not worth it. Ambiance was chill. I will never come here again, WARNING! read more

Awesome Coffee - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

(Snacked 08/04/23 FR @1:30pm): Because I don't drink coffee, I may never know how awesome their bold self-proclamation namesake is! I came across Awesome Coffee purely because of the name as a place to meet a prospective tenant for a vacancy at my family's nearby Koreatown apartment building. Since coffee was off the table, was there anything else I would find awesome here!? PURCHASE Large Chocolate Chip Cookie ($4.25): Because the food options were slim pickings at this time, by default I went with this to snack on. I couldn't tell whether or not it was baked in-house or purchased elsewhere. It had a nice thickness, a decent amount of chocolate chips, and a snowing of powdered sugar on top. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't anything special. 16floz Iced Matcha Latte ($4.75): This was an Incredible Hulk green-colored drink with the matcha flavor present throughout from start to finish. I felt somewhat healthy as I slowly sipped this cold drink. 16floz Iced Matcha Lemonade ($6.50): I treated the person I was meeting with to this drink. Unfortunately, I was unable to try it, but it had a rich green color and looked quite refreshing especially on this particular hot day. 16floz Iced Blood Rose ($6.00): The aroma was undeniably floral with roses and lavender while the flavor was as if I had a bouquet in my mouth. With a hint of lemonade and the waft of an older woman's perfume, this drink on ice helped soothe the hot weather. I honestly wasn't sure whether or not the floating petals were edible (I ate some with no ill effects), but they made the drink look pretty and serene. It was nice, but this was a one-and-done for me https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Q21BJnNxPusvRGCN4i0l7A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE Initially, I was immediately greeted by a lone woman behind the order counter who robotically took my order. Several minutes later, she called out your order instead of your name (actually, you never provided your name), and placed it in the pick up counter area. I found this a bit difficult because I'm certain other customers have ordered the same thing hence the potential for confusion. Case in point, I actually grabbed the wrong drink and started drinking it because I thought it was mine. Once we were done with our meeting, I wasn't sure if you left the items on the table or brought them back to the counter (I brought them to the counter). Otherwise, all was pretty straightforward. PARKING (FREE) Located within the Wilshire Gramercy Strip Mall, they shared a tight medium-sized parking lot (I believe there was also a backside parking lot or at least that was where I parked for the hour-plus I was there) with several businesses as was the case with most businesses in Koreatown. Otherwise, there appeared to be plenty of time-limited spots along the main drag of Wilshire Blvd. and all surrounding streets. Just make sure to carefully read any and all posted signs - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Situated on the second floor, it had a surprisingly spacious long interior with an eclectic display of several chandeliers, a faux library nook with leather chairs, an array of chairs, tables, and a long seating bar along the windows. It appeared nearly everyone was on their respective laptop. Everything else was clean and very minimal. Ample natural lighting came through the many large front glass wall windows and doors while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There weren't any TVs, while smooth jazzy covers of current songs played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Generally speaking, Awesome Coffee and its kitschy atmosphere was fine, but there wasn't anything specific that would bring me back for more. Again, I didn't drink coffee, minimal drink/food menu options (I saw pictures of creative food on their Yelp page but none at the business), relatively pricey, and parking could be an issue. On the bright side... I really liked the music playlist, it was chill, and the service was adequate. Plus, I loved to support any small business whenever possible. I found good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $24.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...

Terrible place. Smells bad, prices are super high (7$ for an americano), it's dirty, the music is to loud and the restroom was out of service today.
