    Green forest latte
    Madeleine L.

    I loveeee the green forest latte! The green forest latte is a take on Korean mugwort rice cake. It comes with home made tteok (rice cake) that's absolutely amazing. The best way I can describe it to those who don't know what mugwort tastes like, is that it's earthy and herbal, but very different from matcha. I've tried it with a shot of espresso, but I actually prefer the drink without it! The employees are always welcoming and kind. There's a lot of space inside, which makes it a perfect spot to study!

    Wow, I cannot wait to go back. The drink menu here gave me choice paralysis because I wanted everything! I ordered the matcha mochi latte, and the cream on top was divine! Super thick and rich, and when you dip the mochi in it OOOOH just the best thing ever. I also love their seasonal Persimmon Milk Latte. The persimmon at the top and bottom are just so refreshing and sweet, I couldn't get enough! We also ordered their egg waffle sando, which is basically an egg sando but in a hardshell waffle. The savory fluffy eggs went well with the harder exterior of the waffle!! I'm excited to come back and try their Injeolmi mochi latte and their Mugwort one too. What an incredible discovery in Ktown!!! The interior is clean, quiet, and comfortable. Perfect for some quiet time to yourself or to catch up casually with a friend. Staff is super nice, and drinks came out fast. There is a small parking lot behind the shop, which is a huge plus!!!!

    Omg them waffle croissants fucking delectable

    The waffle croissants 10 out of fucking 10 fyaaatee... totally recommend the coffee too soo good

    Dirty matcha and mochi matcha latte
    Janeva G.

    Place was great! There was enough parking available for customers and the inside of the cafe was spacious. The dirty matcha had a nice earthy taste and wasn't too sweet. The mochi matcha latte was sweeter but it was smooth and yummy! Mochi had a nice nutty taste and must be dipped with the cream. Definitely can tell they use a better grade of matcha. It was not watered down. Would definitely come here again!

    Black Sesame Mochi Latte and Strawberry Matcha
    Jose R.

    Found this place on my drive home one day and I'm glad I stopped by. I googled coffee shops along my route home and a few popped up, including this one, and I'm so glad I decided to come here. I first ordered their signature Black Sesame Cream Latte and was immediately blown away. It was very creamy and the flavors worked very well together. I've since came back a few times and tried their Strawberry Matcha as well as the Back Sesame Mochi Latte and all were delicious. The employees are always very nice and I enjoyed the fact that they recommended that their sesame latte be sipped instead of using a straw to get the full experience of the flavors. This place is always full of customers, some are often either working or what looks like school work while enjoying really good drinks. Definitely a good vibe whenever you come here.

    Black Sesame Injeolmi Mochi Latte
    Misa O.

    Their drinks are the most dessert-like drinks in Ktown (they're SWEET), which isn't my preference and I feel like their drinks lack a complexity of flavor that I see from some other Ktown Cafes. BUT, their cream cheese red bean croffle is my favorite sweet treat in LA (coming from a sweet treat connoisseur). The flavors blend seamlessly, it's perfectly sweet, and I love the mix of textures from the crispy croffle to the smooth cream cheese. I have come back twice in a week for this before.

    The black sesame latte is amazing. The croissant + waffle is a great sweet treat to indulge in. I forgot the name of the other drink I got but it has the little squares on top and it is just as delicious! Great service all around here & lots of tables to work at or connect with friends. Parking can be a little tough but it doesn't take so long to find.

    Got their Injeolmi Mochi Latte + Espresso. It is a Roasted Soybean Cream Milk, Paired with a Mochi Skewer. The drink was super flavorful and rich. and the additional espresso shot was great. Would come back. Easy parking.

    Strawberry Injeolmi Cream Croffle
    Julianne L.

    I loved, loved, loved the injeolmi mochi latte! The injeolmi cream is very rich and the concentration of the mildly sweet and nutty flavor is still strong after mixing the cream and milk! The mochi covered in injeolmi powder is a fun touch too; it's fun dipping the mochi into the cream and eating them before mixing the drink up. This drink is not caffeinated, but you can add an espresso shot. I also tried the Strawberry Injeolmi Cream Croffle, which had the same cream as the latte, strawberry slices, and a flaky and crispy croissant-waffle. Delicious! There's a tandem parking lot situation behind the cafe if needed and plenty of seating inside.

    Came here for a drink while waiting for a spot next door for dinner. Tried their special drink roasted sweet potato latte with an added shot of espresso. I was skeptical thinking this is an interesting combo that might not be good but I was pleasantly surprised. The drink was perfectly balanced with the taste of the sweet potato, the sweetness with a hint of espresso. It was a delicious drink and I'm glad I tried it. The cafe is pretty spacious with lots of seating, very clean and great service. Will definitely go try other drinks next time I'm in the area.

    Mama's Strawberry Milk
    Demi N.

    I love Cafe de Mama so much, I hope they always stay in business. I regularly came here when I used to live in LA, and I miss this place so much. Strawberry Milk - The best strawberry milk I've ever had in my life. Cafe de Mama does the strawberry milk the right way!! The strawberry flavor is very strong, and the drink is not too sweet. It's actually milk and now some strawberry slushie. I've had so much bad strawberry milk from other places. This place does it the best. Injeolmi Latte - I'm very caffeine sensitive so I get the Injeolmi latte without any coffee/espresso. You would think a drink might be too plain without coffee or something else, but Cafe de Mama does the Injeolmi latte so well! It's so creamy and the flavor is so strong! I've tried recreating this drink at home since I don't live nearby anymore, but I can never get to be as creamy or flavorfull. Persimmon Milk - Persimmons are my favorite fruit so of course I've had to try this drink. I don't love it as much as the strawberry milk or the injeolmi latte, but the persimmon flavor is very strong. It tastes exactly as it sounds -- like you're drinking persimmon blended with milk. Vibes - Cafe de Mama is not aesthetically nice as some other beautiful cafes in ktown, but their drinks beat out so many of the other cafes. So if you prefer flavor over instagram-ability, then this is the place.

    Vanilla Crème Cold Brew + Vibe, Seating.
    Paul L.

    Hey Mama C, Needed a place to get some work done. Been googling and helping WiFi, plugs and parking. Of course the drinks had to look good and the ratings better. Took a chance and came to see you. Got vanilla crème cold brew, less sweet and less ice. Was pretty good. Not many plugs but I didn't need to be here long and needed a space I can talk so went to the corner. It's all good. The space is nice, quiet, clean and the parking out back helped. Definitely will remember next time I need a space to go to. Cheers!

    Tea F.

    Perfect place to get an amazing drink and get some work done in K-town! The injeolmi latte was soooo good. The space does fill up more in the afternoon with families, groups, and sometimes business people having informal meetings, so be sure to bring some headphones if you're looking to focus.

    Was craving some late-night boba and was glad 3CAT was open! I tried the Mochi Barley Burst (less…read moresweet), and it was so yummy. It's a black milk tea with soft mochi topping and a barley popping boba, which make for such a fun texture! I love anything mochi, so this drink was perfect! You order at one of the kiosks, and service is pretty fast. There's limited seating, but it feels more like a grab-and-go boba spot. There's also a parking lot attached to the plaza, which is convenient, although it seems like it can get pretty busy during peak hours.

    Boba Upgraded! The Mochi Barley Burst Is an Absolute Must-Try…read more 3CAT Handcrafted Beverage has become one of my new favorite boba spots! This is a tea-forward spot that makes all ingredients and toppings fresh from scratch daily. Their most well-known unique topping is the barley popping boba. They use a real-chewy highland barley grain that gives off a nutty, earthy and milkdly sweet pop that makes for a unique texture. The fan-favorite drink is the Mochi Barley Burst which pairs a floral black milk tea with the popping barley and fresh handcrafted mochi. The tea does not have any artificial syrups and uses an organic milk with a bold tea base. The handcrafted mochi is super fun to have with the popping barley because it is pillowy and velvety. Make sure to mix it well together, so you can enjoy the whole drink for all its features. I like the ambiance of the shop. It's a smaller shop with some seating area. You order your drink at the self-service station. There's quite a few staff working to make the drinks, so we got our drinks in less than 10 minutes. I adore 3CAT and I would highly recommend visiting if you haven't already!
