Hat Cafe is Factory Tea Bar's new café concept, open until 2 p.m. The space is large with plenty of…read moretables that make it great for working or studying. The café is much brighter than before, giving it a fresh and welcoming feel. For drinks, I tried the Dubai chocolate latte and the banana matcha, both of which seem to be popular choices. I also tried the Dubai chocolate pastry and the pesto pastry. Overall, the drinks and pastries were solid and enjoyable. The staff was helpful and very sweet. I also liked that the other side of the space features games, claw machines, pool tables, and more, making it a fun spot to hang out beyond just coffee.

Parking: Same store as factory tea bar so parking is a small lot and some on the street. Usually…read morenot packed as the store is only open part of the day. Interior: Factory tea bar remodel quite a bit so it is a lot more modern and well light. Great studying spot. Wait Time: None as I ordered online. Drinks were ready when I got there. Also was empty mid day. Items Order: Larges 9/10 Egg coffee $7.5 - Coffee was very good, strong, sweet, authentic viet flavor. Egg foam was a solid addition but the egg flavor gets lost when mixed so could use more. 7.5/10 Matcha Einspanner $8 - sweetness was about 50% so could use more. the matcha itself was average, foam was solid and creamy. 8/10 Viet Coffee Einspanner $7.5 - solid viet coffee overall but the foam doesn't do much in my opinion 8/10 Nutty Spice Viet Coffee $7.5 - the pistachio milk added a different taste profile to the coffee which was a nice switch up. Pistachio flavor is definitely strong so get it only if that's what youre looking for.

The avocado flavor was strong and the coconut flavor balances it out and enhances the creaminess while also making it refreshing. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a drink without caffeine! Service was excellent! There was a line but the workers got through the line quickly and we received our orders quickly! There is plenty of seating as it is located inside the blossom market food hall. Plenty of parking in the back as well. Would recommend!

If I could give Lotus & Bean 10 stars, I would. Not to be dramatic, but their Banana latte truly…read morechanged my relationship with coffee, and I've loved every single other coffee I've tried since then. There was a month long stretch where I'd HAVE to have their banana coffee every week. Since then, I've tried their Black Sesame, Ube, Pandan, and Strawberry coffees and loved them all! Lynn who I see there often is so sweet & service is so quick! I love grabbing a coffee & heading upstairs to get work done! I will be back again so soon!

A very retro Indonesian coffee gem!…read more If you are looking for an incredible study spot or a completely unique caffeine fix for a nice sip bev, this place is a must visit! They serve original Indonesian specialty coffee in LA, and the quality of their craft really shines through. Their Ice Putu is a must try. If you are a bit less adventurous, the Kopichino is a great option. To pair with any of the drinks, honestly I'd recommend the Pandan Chiffon cake! The parking is a breeze because there is a massive public structure right behind the shops. It is only a minute walk at most. Their service has always been a great part of the visit. They ask all the question and provide very good guest forward satisfaction.

Browned is an incredible addition to Los Angeles! You can really taste the passion and…read morecraftsmanship in everything they make. Their signature cream puffs are unlike any I've had perfectly crispy on the outside with a rich, creamy filling on the inside. The croissants are buttery and flaky, the danishes are delicious, and the coffee pairs perfectly with their pastries. What makes Browned even more special is the story behind it. This husband-and-wife team turned a difficult chapter into something truly inspiring, and their dedication shines through in every bite. If you're looking for high-quality pastries made with care, Browned is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend!

Tried the phoenix oolong milk tea with mochi boba and a mango green tea…read more I loved the milk tea - really can taste the tea flavor and I love that they have different options for the tea. The mango tea though wasn't for me. I appreciate that they use real mango and you can really taste it. It wasn't as refreshing as I hoped though and quite bitter. This is definitely a fancier spot and one that you'd want to go to if you really appreciate good quality tea. They brew it for every cup fresh! Shop is small and almost no seating but lots of street parking out front

Great texture on mochi boba and honorable mention for the matcha latte with strawberries on a hot summer day. Lots of parking in front and pro tip, happy hour 5-7 for free toppings! I think it may only be on weekdays.

The chicken is well seasoned and the dipping sauce was yum. We got the hot coffee milk, latte and a roasted oolong tea. Nice to know they use lactose free milk and you have the option to choose oat milk as an alternative, for a fee. EDIT: oat milk as an alternative, for free! My mistake - I must have misheard. Thanks owners!! The space and the restroom were clean but you do need a code to use their restroom. Glad to visit a Taiwanese business while in town. Tasty beverages and food!

I was a little disappinted in the trip today…read more Triped the supreme chicken wrap and i think the lettuce threw off the wrap. It wouldve been better without it but thats my preference. I usually love honey walnut shrimp burger but today it just tasted like a shrimp burger. It didnt have that honey walnuty taste like before. Popcorn chicken was good though. Glad it was still the same. I love the basil aioli. I also go the vegan popcorn chicken for my vegetarian aunt and it wasnt bad although i prefer real meat. She can eat that one all by herself. My drinks were a little underwhelming i think id stick with the starwberry basil lemonade. I got the strawberry lychee breeze and even after mixing//stiring the drink. It didnt feel refreshing. The lychee pudding or the white stuff was warm no matter how long it sat in the drink. The honey latte felt like it was mostly milk as well and not enough coffee.

Of course, I also grabbed a couple of my favorites: creme brulee and maple bacon are always a must. I only picked up one of their new blueberry donuts, and after the first bite, I immediately regretted not buying more. Perfectly sweet, bursting with blueberry flavor, and that moist, cake-like texture..A+. The service was just as great as the food. The only employee working was super perky and helpful, and the shop has added some awesome new merch since my last visit (loving the look and feel of their white hoodies!). I also noticed several new drinks on the menu, so I definitely need to come back to try those. I always walk away from Old Ferry a satisfied customer, can't recommend them enough!

Our first visit and I think we need to visit again to try the other flavors!…read more We tried: Original glazed - not too sweet Lemon poppy seed - it wasn't lemony enough for me. I thought this would be my favorite but it wasn't. Cream filled - the cream filling was light and not too sweet. I found it oddly refreshing to eat. Peanut butter - I did not expect to like it as much as I did. This was tied for the top. There's a small parking lot. Arrive early or take a tour of the surrounding area to find a spot. Enjoy!
