    Fully Loaded Burrito and Matcha Latte
    Ingrid M.

    Located on Washington Blvd, can't believe I had not been here before. It's a nice little spot, its vibe is very namaste zen. I loved the decore, nice place to grab b a coffee and chill. There's WiFi, with sitting inside and outside. Ordered a Matcha latte with oat milk , it was delicious. Froth on top and very silky. Not too sweet and not too tart, perfect balance. Fully loaded burrito in a spinach wrap. Rich in flavor, with eggs, potatoes, bacon, green bell peppers and cheese. Classic breakfast combo, eggs, bacon potatoes and a side of toast. Both these dishes come with a side salsa. They were both tasty. The service was great, very friendly staff and they checked in with their customers. If you're in the area or not I recommend trying this place.

    House Drip Coffee
    Amber D.

    Nice cafe in Harvard Heights. It's been on my list to try for quite some time now and I'm glad I finally got the chance to go. The place is very calm and clean. I ordered the avocado toast and house drip coffee. I love the presentation of my meal and that they steamed the creamer in the coffee. I wish my coffee was a bit stronger which may have been from the amount of creamer in it. The avocado toast was good... pretty basic but I'm sure if I had ordered something more it would be great. The ladies working there were very nice. Next time I'm back I will try something more filling and maybe an Americano.

Everything was fresh and really delicious . The food was totally yummy even the sausage was super flavorful!! Highly recommend coming to Blue Elephant for their delicious food. Service was great ambiance was totally lovely .

    A vibrant and uniquely decorated cafe with two big blue elephant wall murals and comfy furniture to lounge at, eat at, or even relax after your food a coma. Their menu has various brunch and lunch options, from paninis to breakfast burritos, wraps, and more. You can also pair your food with one of their drinks from the espresso bar, tea, smoothies, and juices. This may or may not be a hot take, but their strawberry smoothie was one of my favorite smoothies of all time. It has brown suga in it and was so fire. I would come back for a smoothie. Going into their breakfast, I got their loaded breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon, potatoes, onion, and cheese. I have to say this burrito was not it. The potatoes were spicy for absolutely no reason and were too thick. I swear the burrito consisted of 70% potato. I would definitely disclose to customers that it's spicy.

    Food was delicious! Big flavor coming out of this hole in the wall! I can't wait to explore more of the menu.

    Breakfast Burrito

    I love this place! We went early , 9 am, the service was great, fast and the food is delicious and good! I enjoyed! I recommended!

    I needed coffee and wanted to try something new, so when I saw that this was highly rated, I rerouted my map to come to Blue Elephant Café. I got the "dirty pirate" at the recommendation of one of the workers because I like a sweeter drink, and it was so unique and delicious! The service was great and it felt like a warm and welcoming space. Will definitely be coming back soon to try their food!

    Mocha frappe, was perfectly made with Almond milk and it was definitely delicious

    Egg & Chorizo Burrito

    Okay this place is a little hole in the wall but I'd say is worth trying. Driving by too fast, you'll definitely miss it. The place is tiny, but will accommodate small groups. Maybe a group of 4 -6 max for a table. The kitchen is staffed by a few workers so you'll have to be patience with your order but I'll say it's worth the wait. I've been to this cafe before the renovation and it was good then and even better now. The burrito was delicious, however you must must must ask for extra salsa to go with it, it just pairs reallly well. The breakfast croissant was delicious as well, however I'd say, they may have put a little too much mayo which made it a tad bit salty, aside from that, the croissant was really flaky and fresh tasting. I had the cafe de olla from here and it was really well prepared, I didn't put a photo because I forgot to take one (sorry!) but worth trying if you like that coffee. Can be a little on the pricey side so expect to spend a little bit you do get quality food. Will come back again!

    Manager called me a lair while I was still waiting for them to fix their mistake.

    Food is to simple for it to be coming out 1hour late every time I've tried giving this place the benefit of the doubt but every time It's a disappointment. If I could give it no stars I most definitely would! Glad I left a review while I continued to wait. Still didn't receive the complete order. Then tried asking me to bring down the review??

This was one of the closer coffee spot with good reviews that I found near the kbbq place (Seogwan by Yellow Cow Kbbq) my family and I ate at for lunch. It was about 0.5miles (3 mins drive). The coffee shop is super large, bright, and has nice background music. There are plenty of seats for people to hang out or study. There are also street parking but can be difficult to cross the street due to cars driving by so quickly without a pedestrian crosswalk on one side. I ordered their signature drink which was the orange espresso tonic with one extra shot for my husband, and the double mango matcha for myself. Both of us really enjoyed the drinks, especially the orange espresso tonic. It was refreshing, clean, and easy to drink. Normally, they include double shots of espresso, which may have tasted stronger for me since my husband wanted three shots, and I usually stick with two shots. The double mango matcha uses fresh fruit syrup so the mango flavor was not too strong and my drink was very creamy due to the signature mango cream on top. Usually, I would enjoy a creamy matcha but it made me more thirsty on a hot day. The service took a bit of time since they had to mix my matcha the legit way with the bamboo whisk. The matcha tasted like premium, ceremonial matcha since it was stronger and authentic in taste. Overall, both drinks were enjoyable but if I had to choose one, I would go with the orange espresso tonic even though I love mango matcha!

Van Dyke Coffee Roaster (est. 08/2025) is a relatively new coffee shop in Koreatown, Los Angeles, at West Olympic Blvd. The cafe features a very spacious interior x outdoor seating; thus, it works equally well for focused work sessions, study days, or a relaxed midday break. They have copious signature lattes, hot/cold coffee, coffee bags, pastries and friendly baristas. Their interior decor is modern with long maple wood center table and a relaxing atmosphere. I came late morning to grab a Flat white. And it was strong despite its hobbit size--8oz-- appearance albeit good quality. The female barista who wore a pulchritudinous blue checkered, white folded sleeves that almost matched my blue/white striped long-sleeved shirt was assiduous. I could have absconded with her. lol. Anyways, their service was spot on, however, the price seems above market price. Overall, I had a good experience from VDC. I recommend you visit.

It's a very cute and cozy coffee shop and there was no line when we arrived. The menu had a huge selection of different coffee and tea drinks and also a seasonal menu. The staff were very kind and patient and swiftly prepared the Vienna Latte and Hojicha Latte we ordered. The Vienna Latte is so visually stunning, the layers of white milk, brown espresso, thick white cream, brown cocoa powder and Biscoff layered on top of each other against the dark green logo was so aesthetic. Having a sip before mixing the Vienna latter was incredible, the sweet cream followed with the nutty strong espresso flavour then getting a refreshing splash of milk made a great combo with the Biscoff. I actually liked the drink less after its all mixed because it was too creamy for my taste. (I normally like my coffee black) My hojicha latte was great, but it was also too milky for me. So I went up and asked if it would taste good dirty, with an espresso shot in it, and the barista said yes. I ordered an espresso shot and instead of charging me full price, they only charged me the add on espresso shot for the drink! ($1.50 instead of $4) It was very kind of them since it was absolutely my mistake for not ordering the right drink in the first place. The shot added much depth and flavour to the hojicha latte I was craving. Thanks for the wonderful service. I'm definitely coming back to try their other specialty drinks.

A few different YouTubers raved about ROK Coffee & Tea, so I decided to try them out... and it definitely lived up to the recommendations! The MATCHA DUO was EXCEPTIONAL and delicious! It had the perfect amount of sweetness, the perfect creaminess, and the matcha wasn't bitter at all. You can tell they use really good, high-quality matcha because not only could I taste the quality, I could feel it in my energy level too. My sister got the MANGO MATCHA DUO with oat milk and absolutely loved it. My sister's coworker tried the SPARKLING YUZU MATCHA and said it was delicious! She loved that the yuzu flavor wasn't overpowering and said the matcha tasted very high quality. We also got the STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE MATCHA DUO because it was recommended as one of their top picks. We gave it to another one of her coworkers, and she finished it so quick! She said it tasted like a dessert and raved about how delicious and amazing it was! There's seating area in front of the café and as well as inside. The inside is really cute and had a nice atmosphere. The best time to go is early in the morning when open. Customer service was exceptional! Everyone was very kind while at the same time quick and attentive to the line. If there tends to be a line, it moves pretty quickly, and our drinks were ready fast after we ordered. If you get lucky, you can find street parking, but be careful parking on Olympic Blvd. during certain times. Not to worry though because they do have a parking structure, which makes things much easier. Overall, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ROK Coffee & Tea! Everything we tried gets a 10/10 from us! The quality of the matcha, the flavors, the customer service, and the overall experience were all excellent. We will most definitely be back!!!

    Matcha snobs, this is your sign. ROK's matcha holds its own against Community Goods -- genuinely…read moredidn't expect to say that, but the quality is there, if not a little better. No bitterness, no chalky aftertaste that cheaper ceremonial-grade pretenders leave behind. Just clean, grassy depth with a texture that's silky rather than gritty. This is someone who actually sources well and knows how to whisk Didn't stop there. The seasonal peach jasmine tea was the surprise standout ..floral jasmine up front, real peach sweetness (not syrup-bomb fake fruit) on the back end. Balanced in a way that seasonal drinks rarely pull off; most places either overdo the fruit or underdo the tea. This one's dialed in. Iced Spanish latte rounded things out and didn't miss either; espresso with enough backbone to cut through the condensed milk instead of getting buried by it. A lot of places let the sweetness take over; ROK kept the coffee actually tasting like coffee. 4 drinks, zero misses. That's not luck; that's a program that's actually dialed in behind the counter. This isn't a place riding on aesthetics and a good logo the drinks back it up. The matcha is legit, good quality stuff Come open up in OC you batches

    After dinner last night, we were discussing where to go for a second round, and one of my friends…read morerecommended this place. So we decided to come here for coffee or tea and ended up having a really nice time. I used to come here quite often about four years ago. Back then, I really liked their Einspänner and ordered it several times. But the last time I came, I thought it was way too sweet, so I hadn't been back since. It had actually been a REALLY long time since I last visited. And when I used to come here four years ago, I always came in the morning or around lunchtime. Last night was my first time ever coming here at night. My friend told us that they are open until midnight, so that's why we decided to come here after dinner. I had heard that parking here can be a nightmare because there aren't enough parking spaces and people have a hard time finding a spot. But once again, my parking luck was AMAZING! A car pulled out right in front of me just as I arrived, so I was able to park very easily. Another friend arrived later than I did, and she said she couldn't find a parking spot at all. She drove around for quite a while looking for one before finally finding street parking. Last night, we also had some tiramisu, and since I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine, I decided to have a caffeine-free ade instead of coffee or tea. It was a little sweet for my taste, but it was ok. We sat outside on the outdoor patio and talked and talked and talked. We had such a fun time together! However, it was actually pretty cold outside last night. I remember thinking that it felt surprisingly chilly. But what was even crazier was how FREEZING cold it was inside the café! They had the air conditioning turned up so high that both my friends and I felt like we were going to freeze to death. The restroom is inside, and I also went inside to get some water, so I mentioned to one of the male employees that it was freezing inside. He told me that they didn't feel cold at all because they were working, and that THEY were actually feeling really hot. I went back to our table and told my friends what he had said, and they were like, "WHAT?! We're freezing to death over here!" The parking lot here is actually pretty large, so I was wondering why it was so difficult to find a parking spot. Apparently, at night, the left side is the café, while on the right side there is a bar where people can drink and also play games. There was a huge line of people waiting outside the bar last night, so I'm guessing that's probably why the parking lot gets so crowded and it's hard to find a spot. It was also pretty chilly outside last night because of the low temperature, so one thing I wished they had on the outdoor patio was heaters. That would have made sitting outside much more comfortable on a cold night.
