    Injeolmi Mochi Latte and yuzu tonic
    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.

    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!

    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.

    Black Sesame Injeolmi Mochi Latte

    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.

    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.

    The place was filled with students, so it definitely seems like a popular study spot. It's a great place to study or catch up with friends since there are a lot of seats and they offer free WiFi. I ordered the Black Sesame Mochi Latte and the Vanilla Cloud Cold Brew, which came out to about $14 total. The drinks came out really quickly, which was nice. Parking was self-park in the small lot in the back, or there is also street parking available. The Black Sesame Mochi Latte was creamy, nutty, and not too sweet. I also really enjoyed the injeolmi mochi skewer that came with it. The vanilla cold foam on the cold brew was really tasty and their coffee is more on the acidic side, which we like. I'll definitely be back.

    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.

    Black Sesame Cream Latte (Iced)
    Tawn V.

    It's so nice to have a place like Cafe De Mama in the neighborhood. Friendly service and affordable drinks! Sweetness levels are just perfect. I can't wait to come back and try their other lattes. The cherry on top is their mochi

    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!

    this was my second time at Cafe De Mama, a little cafe in Ktown. first off, street parking is available but can be difficult so plan accordingly. lots of seating inside and they have a restroom. the menu is actually pretty expansive, there's a lot of drinks to appeal to many different palates. but so far I have ordered just the injeolmi mochi latte and the strawberry injeolmi mochi latte. employees have always been polite, and they make sure to tell you how exactly to drink your latte (i.e. take the mochi first and dip in the injeolmi cream, then enjoy the latte). the drinks itself are phenomenal!! the taste of the injeolmi mixed with either the milk or strawberry goes great together. one of my fav latte flavors. next time I'd like to try the persimmon latte because I will definitely be back for more soon.

    Black Sesame Foal Latte
    Angel P.

    Always yummy. My special treat when I visited KTown. Easy to order online and even though I mostly order the black sesame foam latte, I've had other good drinks there.

    I have not stopped thinking about that black sesame brown sugar latte since I had it for the first…read moretime last week. It was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too strong (but rich coffee flavor) and creamy but not oily, just so delicious. And the location is a nice spot too. It looked as much like an art gallery as it did a coffee spot. It is small but it has nice designated areas to work and relax. When I was there it was also quiet which is a nice change from a lot of coffee shops. And I believe it was the Owner who made my drink and she was very friendly and chill without being you know that kind of corporate-y overly effusive. The whole vibe could be summed up as relaxed. It's a really relaxed and relaxing environment. But if nothing else I will absolutely be back for that latte, it was *delicious*.

    Espresso Social Club is such an easily missed spot since it's on a street with not much signage…read more Drive by, and you really will miss it! Walk by, and... you have keen eyes if you catch the sign by the door. Walk in, and you're welcomed by the most inviting woman who's ready to make you one of the best espressos and drinks from scratch. I'm not one to be venture out of a basic iced latte, but I knew I had to go for one of their seasonals when they had black sesame - unfortunately sold out! (Even at 11am... must be popular!) Somehow, some way, I had the privilege of trying their iced oat latte with black sesame foam. There was everything to like about this drink from the perfectly bold espresso - a good balance of nutty but toasty - but also a sesame cream foam. After getting the drinks, there is a quiet space to sit around and lounge about. Have a book or magazine? The couch is perfect. Have work to do? There's small tables in the hallway or even a large table and desk inside the private room. Comfortably enough, the ambiance itself is best described as open arms exclaiming "Welcome Home!" almost like a friend or neighbor is inviting you to their apartment for a cup of coffee. Wi-Fi and outlets are definitely available here. The only thing to bring to reach a flow state is your own set of noise cancelling earbuds. The walls and doors are indeed paper thin, and the traffic from the street does have a way of echoing and rumbling these walls. Other than that, though, my only bittersweet feeling with sharing this glowing review of Espresso Social Club is that finding space to work on future visits might now be a bit more competitive.

Travis was so accommodating, even though at some point we had taken over several tables (in our defense it was not particularly busy). Now, I come here sometimes when I'm not running late to work/have some extra time to spare in the morning. The space is set up great for catching up with friends (like we did) or getting some work done (I always see at least one person on a laptop when I drop by). There's a little parking lot right in front, and I've been able to park there easily each visit. I normally order some sort of cold coffee. On my most recent visit I got a blue mint latte, which was both aesthetically pleasing and delicious. I'm also a fan of the pastries. I've had some sort of tomato pastry and a jalapeño cheese croissant, both of which satisfied whatever savory craving I was having. I appreciate the resources posted, the signage that's up, and the community events that happen here. The energy and intention behind this space are wonderful.

So crazy, I live up the road, work down the road and drive on Pico all the time that I have never noticed them until last week. Walking in this place is your typical Los Angeles hipster coffee shop. Perfect for what this neighborhood has seemed to be changing into the past few years that I've lived in the neighborhood. Customer service was all right. Not necessarily friendly, I walked in and it took a minute for someone to acknowledge me. Now maybe to their credit it's because I was awkwardly standing by the pick up area but still nonetheless a hello good morning welcome would have been nice. Two drinks cost me $15. Like I said, LA. But for the credit, they were both very good. I'll be back for breakfast and more drinks so an updated review is to come. But for now, I recommend them for a a good cup of joe in the neighborhood.
