Based off of an Instagram post, I decided to try Keem's whilst recently in LA! I came right in the…read moremorning on a weekday so there was plenty of parking and only one person ahead of me when I arrived. I initially had every intention of ordering a Vienna matcha but when I read the description for the ube buttercream latte, I couldn't resist! After just a couple of minutes my order was ready to go. My initial sip was just the cream and espresso but was already yummy...a good start. I mixed it all together with my straw then finally got a proper try. It was soooo good. There was a sweetness and nuttiness from all of the flavors balanced by the espresso flavor. Even though I figured it'd be yummy, the drink exceeded my expectations truth be told. It didn't last too long before I finished the drink! I've tried coffee places and the like here and there in LA and this is one of the first times I can say I would like to come back here specifically to try more drinks!! Overall a very successful experience and I'll definitely come back.

One of my favorite matcha spots in LA!…read more The Double Matcha is always a classic here. It's rich, creamy, and a solid choice if it's your first time at Stagger. BUT what I've been absolutely obsessed with lately is their Jasmine Matcha. I constantly find myself coming back specifically for this drink. The balance between the jasmine and matcha is PERFECT. You get that floral, fragrant jasmine flavor while still being able to distinctly taste the matcha, and neither one overpowers the other. Parking is also surprisingly easy for LA! I've usually been able to find street parking nearby, so I personally wouldn't bother spending the extra money on valet. I will say this probably isn't the best place if you're looking for somewhere quiet to study. There are constantly people coming in and out and it can get pretty noisy and busy inside. I'd come here more to grab a drink and catch up with someone than to lock in for a study session. The Double Matcha may be the classic, but the Jasmine Matcha is what keeps me coming back. If you're a jasmine matcha person, GET THIS ONE!!

Stagger has been on my to try list for the longest time, so I'm glad I finally got around to trying…read moreit! As with anything in Ktown, parking is a struggle. There's a small lot with valet, but spaces are limited. We drove around for a bit and eventually found street parking about a block away. We went on Labor Day, so it was understandably busy. Despite the heat, there was still a pretty long line. They do provide umbrellas for those waiting, but there definitely weren't enough for the number of people in line. You have to wait until someone goes inside and returns one. That said, the line moved surprisingly quickly, and our drinks came out within just a few minutes of ordering. Service was also friendly! I got the Double Matcha and it was super creamy and had an okay matcha flavor, but unfortunately left a mild weird, grainy aftertaste. I was pretty disappointed, especially after waiting in line. Honestly, I'm not sure I'd wait in line for this one again. My partner got the Double Hochija. The flavor was definitely there, but it also had that same strange grainy aftertaste, except it was way worse than the Double Matcha. It was supperrr sweet and became a bit overwhelming after a few sips. If you have a serious sweet tooth, you might love it, but I'd recommend adjusting the sweetness. Wish I read some of the reviews prior to ordering... Overall, I don't think Stagger has the best matcha or hochija but definitely is a cute spot for small groups of 2-4 to grab a drink and hang out. The quick service and friendly staff were definitely a plus! For me, the drinks weren't quite worth the wait, but I'd still come back to try something else.

I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for the first time and had a great experience! They have a small…read moreparking lot and we luckily were able to find a spot. There was only one person in line when we arrived and there were a few open tables inside. It's chill vibes, people were working on their laptops, reading, or hanging out with friends. They have four different types of unsweetened matcha. I ordered the Hokatsu matcha with honey and it was light and delicious! They brought out of our drinks to our table which was nice. The service was friendly and I can't wait to visit again!

The guy at the front with the pierced right ear was rude and dismissive. I tried ordering a chai…read moreand was told they don't carry it. I explained that Yelp has an "Order" section that directs customers to DoorDash, where a chai is listed as an available item. Instead of simply explaining the situation, he was condescending and insisted that they were not affiliated with DoorDash. The employee making the coffee eventually had to step in and explain that they used to accept DoorDash orders but stopped about a year ago. If that's the case, this is clearly something the business needs to address. Their Yelp listing is still directing customers to DoorDash, creating confusion about what they actually offer and where they can order from. Mistakes happen, but there was absolutely no reason for the front employee to be so dismissive or condescending when I was simply trying to order something that their own Yelp listing indicated was available. Updating the DoorDash information would be a good start, and so would treating customers with a little more courtesy.

Came back to re-try this place after a prior not-so-good experience and I'm so glad I did because…read moremy experience here was SO much better compared to the last time! Food/Drink: Chef's kiss! I wanted a refreshing matcha since it was such a hot day and I was going to a festival, and it HIT! It also didn't make my stomach hurt going into the festival which was another thing. I got the strawberry lemonade matcha and I love the balance or sweet and tart the strawberry lemonade gave. The matcha paired perfectly! Service: Amazing! Two nice ladies were helping me and my party and I love how incredible their service was. I had a problem with my last visit with the service, but you can tell these ladies were incredible :) Ambiance: Still so clean and aesthetic since I've last visited. Overall, I am so happy that my experience here was very pleasant!! Also so happy I gave this shop another chance. Will def be back! ;)

Malaya understood the assignment. We ordered the Ube Creme Latte and the Caramel Banana Latte. The…read moreUbe Creme Latte was the clear winner. It had an authentic ube flavor that tasted like actual ube instead of someone whispering "ube" into a regular latte. The Caramel Banana Latte was good too, but I've had better. The queso de bola ensaymada was absolutely superb. It was buttery, fluffy, perfectly sweet without sending you into a sugar coma, with just enough salty queso de bola to keep every bite interesting. The beef and asada empanadas disappeared embarrassingly fast. We probably should've ordered more. And can we take a moment to appreciate the parking lot? Finding parking in Silver Lake without circling the block 47 times feels like winning a small lottery. We had no trouble finding a spot. Come for the ube latte, stay for the ensaymada, and leave wondering why you didn't order a second empanada.

Came around 11:30am on a Saturday and lucked out with an outdoor table. Seating is pretty limited since it's a small café, so timing helps. Cold brew was smooth and rich.

Baristas were super friendly, which always makes a difference.

As soon as you walk in and look around, you'll notice how cute and cozy the space is. The retro-inspired decor gives it such a warm, vibey atmosphere. We ordered the iced Einspänner latte, and it was delicious! The host was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain the difference between their Einspänner latte and the Vienna Einspänner. She was so sweet and genuinely helpful, and she also introduced us to their different bakery options. We never felt rushed and really enjoyed the whole experience. It's such a cute little coffee shop with a cozy atmosphere and welcoming service. We'd definitely come back the next time we're in K-Town!

My friends wanted to stop by here last night to complete one of our friends birthday celebration…read more We parked on the street since it's mostly street parking here. When we came, they weren't busy at all. The birthday boy just got a black coffee, our other friend got some latte and I got my wife a passion fruit mango tea. The customer service here was great and they made our drink quick. We sat inside and just talk for a bit. There only one bathroom here so be aware of that. Overall we had a great experience here.

Came by to try something a little different and ended up going with their pistachio frappe. I was…read morereally looking forward to that nutty, slightly earthy pistachio flavor. I even asked if they could adjust it (they added pistachio powder), but it still leaned more like a mocha to me. It also wasn't that light green color I usually associate with pistachio drinks, so it caught me a little off guard. Overall, it ended up being on the sweeter side. That said, the staff were genuinely kind and the space feels really inviting--somewhere you can actually sit and stay for a bit. There's plenty of seating, which I appreciate. Only downside is parking can be a little tough. Only meter parking but it's great for locals I'd still come back and look forward to trying other menu items like their horchata frappe and some of the bakery goods.

There is outdoor seating and a couple tables indoors too. The storefront itself is pretty small though. I ordered the Yuzu Matcha tonic with less sweetness and it was really good! It's a super refreshing drink, with the green tea and citrus elements coming out on top of the sparkling sweetness. Honestly, one of the best matcha drinks I've had overall! The yuzu bits are incorporated in the drink, adding a light sweet and bitter taste. Service was super friendly and accommodating. Reasonable prices and this café stands out because of its free parking for sure. There are lots of cute shops lining the street that Picnic Coffee is located on, so check those out too! Overall, definitely a recommended place.

It's oh so good and decadent The Cortadito is bold, smooth, and just sweet enough like those you find in Little Havana. Both the dessert and coffee came to about $8.50 which isn't a bad deal at all for their sizes My only minor complaint is the service. There was one customer ahead of me who ordered a lot of pastries. One cashier was getting those items and the cook asked if I wanted "food" or just sweets. When I said just the sweets he said I had to wait. I don't see why he couldn't have just grabbed my items? It was about a 10-15 minute wait with all that going on. Then I asked for a cafe Cubano and sorry but I had no clue what the cashier said and only understood "cortadito" so that's what I was given. When she asked if I wanted for here or to go, I asked for here and she packed my items to go. I'm not sure if it's a language barrier or listening issue so I'm glad it was a major thing to inconvenience my experience
