    Manny is awesome! Took care of my espresso when I forgot to ask it in a proper ceramic cup and his Ristretto from Hayes Valley Espresso blend is great!

    Customer feeding his dogs scones right in front of the staff! And no one says anything! This is NOT A service animal! He begs and approaches other guests!! He is clearly not trained like a service animal to sit under his owner. The customer touches everything, moves around the store with his dog and lets others willing pet his dog! This is how germs spread and this place serves food! The dog shook his coat and spread his hair! Disgusting!!!

    The coffee is good, and I really love their hot chocolate and pastries. You should definitely try the lemon cake. It's always very lively there, too and the interior is minimalist.

    From the ambiance to the service it's always great to come here. The coffee is delicious and the pastries sold are also good in quality. Free parking can be limited but later in the afternoon on Sundays there's plenty.

    The parking was nice because o went there early on a Sunday. But the street parking could be an issue for some..? The atmosphere was comfortable and I just had a feeling that the people knew what they were doing and were quite knowledgeable about coffee. I also got a bag of beans that, according to the date, was roasted a few days ago!! Woot!!! I will go back again!

    Amazing coffee! Frank the Barista made our first time experience amazing! He explained the best coffee for my fiancé and I's taste preferences. I love a sweet coffee and the iced sweet coffee is probably one of the best sweet coffee I've had with oat milk in a long time and with the vegan sweet cream foam that literally tastes like real milk! 10/10 coffee, 10/10 experience , 10/10 customer service. It's so refreshing to see a kind barista ! Definitely we are coming back every time we are in LA !

    I come here all the time. The best coffee shop in LA with the best vibes and employees. The coffee is great, and food is good. Don't listen to the dog haters!

    Waffle and coffee.

    I picked up a DoorDash order. The baristas Frank and Jay gave me a a free waffle and coffee. Both hit the spot. I've been dashing for a year with 900 deliveries and it was the first time I encountered such gratuitous kindness.

    One of my favorite Blue Bottle locations on Mateo, lovely people & service, great coffee and atmosphere, good for a quick stop or hang your hat for a minute.

    Yumme coffee

    Very nice setup they have going here. My vanilla latte had a very good foam texture and ratio and the vanilla syrup was not too sweet! very very good quality coffee. On the more expensive side, but worth it- especially with the beautiful and cozy lobby they have.

    Samran latte on the left and sweet latte on the right.
    Sandy J.

    So good. Just go. Modern interior. Service was super friendly and educational. We were looking to buy their beans and the person helping us came out behind the register to go over some of the bean types. Look out for their special. I had the Samran Latte. So good.

    The cashier has great customer service. We asked a few questions because it was our first time and he was willing to explain everything to us and then even gave us a sample of some drink I don't remember the name. But it was great quality coffee, would definitely go back for it again. It wasn't so busy when we went, they do have a lot of space to sit and drink

What really sets Tilt apart, though, is the staff. They go above and beyond for every customer, and you can genuinely feel the care they pour into their craft and their service.

Seating is limited, though they do offer a few outdoor tables and a bench inside while you wait for your drinks. The service was great. The employees were friendly, welcoming, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. As for the coffee, it unfortunately wasn't my favorite. I tried the Cloud Latte and found it a bit too thick, lacking the smoothness and flavor I was hoping for. I also tried the Cinnamon Cloud, which was smoother but still tasted fairly bitter to me. Coffee preferences are subjective, of course, but the flavor profile just didn't quite hit the mark for me. That said, I enjoyed everything else about the experience and would be willing to come back and try a few different drinks from the menu. The service and ambiance were definitely highlights of the visit.

My son also recommended it, even though he had never actually tried their drinks. LOL. It was one of his friend's favorite cafes so I was really looking forward to going. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the right time to stop by until toward the end of our trip. I'm so glad we finally did though because I'm now in love! Rok instantly became one of my favorite cafes in LA. If I had tried their drinks at the beginning of our trip, I honestly would have gone back every day until we left! They have so many interesting drink combinations. This time, I tried the Earl Grey Matcha Duo. I love both Earl Grey and matcha but I wasn't quite sure how well they would pair together until I took my first sip. OMG, it was sooooo good!!! The balance between the Earl Grey flavor and the matcha was perfect. No wonder they've been recognized as one of the best places for matcha in the U.S. They also use Uji matcha which made me even more excited to try it. Our first visit to Rok was only two days before we left LA and I liked it so much that I had to have it one more time before we went home. On the morning of our flight, we got up a little earlier just so we could stop by and get their drinks before heading to the airport! I got the Earl Grey Matcha Duo again while my husband and son both tried the Lotus Einspanner. My son has never been a coffee drinker so I was surprised that he wanted to try one. I honestly expected him not to finish it but he LOVED it! He did tell us later that the caffeine really got to him, though. LOL. There really isn't a cafe in my area that does matcha drinks well so I was especially happy that I got to enjoy such good matcha during this trip. Rok has definitely become one of my must-go cafes in LA and we'll absolutely be back the next time we visit!

The pop-up is easy to find, it's outside facing into the parking lot, and they had a cute A-frame sign out by the street side. There was no line, and I ordered and sat down at one of the tables out front. The service was so warm, and I believe the shop is owned and operated by one man on his own! He was an absolute delight to meet, and he brought my matcha latte to me at the table when it was prepared. He suggested I get the cream top on it, and boy was that the perfect recommendation. I would say I'm a little bit of a matcha fiend... I think I got a matcha latte at 3 different places this day... and this one far surpassed the others. I think it was one of the best matcha lattes I have ever drank to-date. It was perfectly green, the matcha quality was phenomenal, both taste and look-wise. The texture was just right, perfectly creamy with barely any grittiness. The cream top only added to the drink, and didn't take away from the matcha flavor at all, which I feel like has happened at other places for me.

Parking wise - there was an entrance to turn into that leads to an underground area. Keep in mind if you go this way, there is two elevators that you need to take to get to the shop, which is located at the 2nd floor. When I tried to pay before leaving, I had some issues with my credit cards accepting the payment at the station. On the way out, there was a worker that was able to help. I went on a weekend at peak hours so it was expectedly busy. It was a particularly hot day so had to settle for their outdoor patio. There was a wait to order. American Express is accepted here. There were a few things I got during my visit. Banana Cream Tiramisu Latte was the drink option; it was sweet and felt like it balanced the coffee well. However, I didn't feel like it stood out enough to go out of my way for it again. Wagyu Egg Sliders and Poke & Chips were the food options that I picked. The drink came out within a few minutes but the food took ~ 20 minutes before they brought it out. Both of the food items felt okay and not anything special as well. The poke was slightly lower on the list because they use tuna; could have been better with salmon. Overall, it was a pretty meh experience. WiFi is available, so it could be a working spot for those that need it. Tables were dirty given the volume of customers they had. I wanted to grab some coffee beans and they were out of stock at the time. The initial atmosphere seemed nice, so perhaps I should consider coming back on a less busy day.
