Such a cute lil spot! Feels like you're walking into your favorite creative, quirky grandparent's house. The decor is a mix of vintage furniture and contemporary findings. You have the option to get a tea set with Korean snacks or have a more traditional cafe experience. I was probably the first to come in so I was personally served by the store owner. After serving the almond croissant and berry matcha I ordered, he came by the table to have me sample his bread. Thoughtful service just makes me melt! The almond croissant was larger than a typical cafe pastry. And though the drink was on the smaller side, the cream and berry mixture make up for it. The quality of the matcha isn't too bad either. A lovely spot to get some work done or just have a relaxing tea with family or friends. I'd definitely go back! read more

We all need more grandparents in our lives. Highly recommend this place which feels like stepping into another, better world of the past where people care about serving fine tea in fine China and not from machines into plastic cups. The bread here won three ribbons. Butter is imported from France. They're not messing around. Hopefully they add sandwiches! read more

The restaurant has pictures of food on a banner on their gate that they no longer serve. They have pictures of food on yelp that they no longer serve. I felt tricked when I came and everything I had wanted to try was no longer on the menu. Even the things on the menu they had run out of so I ended up choosing a few things to taste. What we tried was yummy, but the entire experience was weird and overpriced since I had come for specific things. When I was sitting there other guests came to order and were told the same thing. Strange they wouldn't change their menu and signs to reflect their actual food. But the decor was cute and kitschy and there were a few parking spots which can be gold in busy ktown. I would say if you don't care what the food or drinks are but want a cute tea place, come here. read more

The desserts and drinks are very good and the flavors are balanced perfectly. You can tell that high quality ingredients are used and care was put into creating the menu. My cousin and I came into a completely empty cafe and were greeted by the owner. We were planning on having a journaling and art session and had our bags packed. Since nobody was in the cafe, I wanted to sit at a larger table, however, he told me only parties of 3 and more could sit there and directed us to a small table for two. When we took out all of our things there was barely any room and it took some care to not knock stuff over and navigate our drinks. For almost two hours, nobody came into the store, but later a couple came and sat down at a large table he had said only 3 or more people could sit at. Interestingly enough, another party of 2 later sat at the table we weren't allowed to sit at. Hmm!!! Even though the food and drink is good, the time spent there was soured by the realization he treated us differently in an empty shop than he treated these other customers who freely sat wherever they wanted. I feel like there is a touch of ageism here because the two couples were older, while my cousin is college age and I'm 30 years old. Anyways, I hope the store owner can work on the way he treats customers equally. He was friendly but it felt like we were uncomfortable in the small space we sat at and he was totally fine with that but allowed others more elbow room even though they only sat to talk over a drink. read more

Absolutely obsessed with this little spot. I grabbed a berry matcha latte with a homemade cream top, and it was honestly one of the best drinks I've had in a long time. The berry mix is made in-house with organic berries, and you can taste how fresh it is. The cream top, made with real vanilla beans, just put it over the edge. The owners were so kind, and the man who brought out my drink was so proud of his creation that it made me love the place even more. It's not the easiest place to find, but that almost makes it better, it feels like a hidden treasure. The inside has such cozy, inviting vibes that next time I'm definitely staying to soak it all in instead of taking it to go. read more

I stopped by for takeout and instantly wished I had the time to sit down in this lovely café. The hojicha cream iced latte is absolutely delicious, the cream top is one of the best I've had in a long time and the ambience is so cute. It's cozy and eclectic, and the owner who helped me was incredibly kind and very clearly loved what he was doing. I would love to come back and spend a little bit more time in this place. Worth the slightly higher price point! read more

MY FAVORITE KOREAN CAFE/BAKERY! This cute little cafe is my favorite place to go to with my daughter went we are in the mood for a cozy fun little date. There is a big selection of coffee and tea, and their baked goods are sooo delicious and come with the yummiest butter. It can get busy but I've never waited long. Also, it's so welcoming and I've spent many hours just talking and lingering here. The owners and his son are so nice! Parking is limited but there are a few spots in the back lot. read more

I love this place it was the most wholesome experience ever. My bestie and I came here for a little sweet treat in ktown. At first we were confused if it was the right place since it looks like someone's house. But upon entering it was like a whole other world. Each room in the "house" had its own vibe. It truly felt like I was having lunch at my grandmas house. The owner came to take our order and prepared everything with so much love and detail. When he came back he showed my friend how to eat the treats with the tea he selected which was so so nice!! In the room next to us, the other owner was hosting a little painting session. I 100% recommend this place for a cutesy visit with your friends or family. Thank you so much for having us! read more

Great place to hang out. Nice decoration with old victorian European ambiance. It's a converted old house. They still live on second floor of the house. Ring camera all over the place. Keep greeting passer by. Service was fast and super friendly. The Korean couple are friendly and entertain you with the history and merchandise. About Spanish painter on the wall and her merchandise they sell. Most of their food is good and tasty. Their award winning bread is nice and fluffy. The strawberry cake is ok. Maybe cause we got the frozen one. The Italian Gelato is super delicious and yummy. Same with shaved ice. Interesting and tasty. The wild organic ciabatta bread is super good. Free sample from the owner. Only the strawberry cake is just ok. Maybe cause it was felt frozen/cold. Will come back for sure. read more

Cozy cafe that makes you feel like you're at home. The owners are so kind and take good care of you. Only downside is the parking lot. Very small. We had the black tea and ciabatta (still warm from the oven). Support small businesses! read more

I loved this café. The furniture, decorations, and plating were very vintage inspired. I visited here on a Friday night near 9 PM. It was quite empty with only a few parties. I can imagine this place to be a nice café to study at or to grab tea and catch up with a friend. The service was also amazing. The one worker there, I think maybe the owner, was very friendly, energetic, and helpful when we were ordering. My friend and I got the misugaru drink, cheesecake, and chamomile hot tea. I will definitely be back. read more

Overall: 4.7/5 (macarons only) Macaron 6 Piece Gift Set ($15): We go this as a gift from our cousin. The macarons came in a cute box and were packaged nicely. She got us the following 6 flavors: rose, red velvet, pistachio, salted caramel, chocolate, earl grey. We were so impressed that you can taste each flavor without them being too subtle or overpowering, specifically for the rose, pistachio, chocolate, & earl grey. The red velvet & salted caramel had more of a subtle flavor than the other 4 so I wouldn't get them again. My favorite in order was Rose, Earl Grey, Pistachio, & Chocolate. The macaron shell was also the perfect texture, making it really smooth to bite into. I wouldn't have stumbled into this tea shop on my own so I'm so glad that my cousin got this gift set for us to try :) read more

This is the CUTEST COZIEST MF CAFES I'VE BEEN TOO AND I AM OBSESSED!!!! I literally want to move to LA just so I can come here It's literally a friggin house, and the owners (who I think is this adorable older Korean couple) transformed the downstairs entire into a cafe. You can see how each section was originally its own room, and the tables and seats are all just classical wooden house furniture. Being at this cafe made me so nostalgic for when I used to tag along when my mom went to go visit a friend to drink coffee/tea and cake. We ordered a cake and truffle, the man who took our order was soooo sweet and the desserts came out quickly. They were so good, the berry cake was just sweet enough and would most definitely have any Asian moms' approval of "not too sweet" while the cappuccino truffle boasted deep flavors of coffee and chocolate. read more

I still highly recommend coming here. read more

Organic roasted multi-grain powder shaved ice with red bean paste ... LOVE it!! Condensed milk is inside and my Korean friend recommended to adjust the amount to be less if you would like to enjoy the taste of the multi-grain powder. I love it as it was not too sweet and I could taste the natural sweetness of the powder. Red bean paste is such a good balance to add more sweetness but not overpowering the whole dish. Strawberry shortcake ...MELTED MY HEART!! I was looking for something like this in LA!! The cream is perfect sweetness, and sponge is super soft and not dry! I could keep eating. I would love it to have a whole cake for birthdays or events! They bake it everyday, so it's fresh too! They have many kinds of coffees, teas including decafs and low caffeines that go well with sweets! I tried Dates tea. It has natural sweets from dates, and it is very nutritious. Cups and plates - I think it is rare for us to be able to eat and drink out of such beautiful ceramics in LA! It makes you feel very relaxed and slows you down. Also the atmosphere is like you stepped into your grandma/grandpa's house, so you feel more close to people who you come to this cafe with. The house is so cute. Once you step inside, you will see a space you would not imagine from outside. It is very warm and welcoming. Just being there made me feel happy. Want to try macarons next time! read more

One of my favorite places. Great coffees, great desserts. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere.

Cafe Giverny is one of our favorite cafes in Koreatown, quiet and quaint and unique in all of the cafes available in the neighborhood! We love coming here to wind down after a busy day or after a meal, as the ambiance is like a cozy friend's home with beautiful vintage dishes and cups. ARRIVAL/PARKING: There is a small lot in the front of the cafe (which looks like a house, cozy with string lights and vintage foot stools / pianos in front) and a slightly bigger lot in the back; street parking is available if those are full. Walking in you are greeted warmly and usually we are ushered to our seats without a wait; we usually visit in the evenings after dinner and there are usually folks enjoying after-meal sweets and teas then too. The glass cases have beautiful serveware on display and desserts too! ORDERING: Menu has an extensive list of coffee (oat milk substitute available, yes! and decaf available for all drinks), pots of tea (one cup per pot, extra cup for $3), shaved ice, homemade sourdough sandwiches, sweets and snacks. I enjoy how the teas are ordered by the caffeine level, so you can have an herbal no-caffeine order if it's close to bedtime, or get a medium level tea if you want a bit of a pick me up. There are also Korean traditional teas available, as well as sorbets, ice creams, and acai bowls. EXPERIENCE / FOOD / DRINK: I love the CAFFE LATTE, the last time I ordered this it came in a teacup that had a tiny bee decoration that emerged as I sipped it, served on a teacup dish that had a wee grasshopper on it. The POTS OF TEA are unique and if your party ordered one each, each teapot is likely different from each other and gorgeous. The STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE slice is one of the best slices of cream and fresh berry cakes in town and we order it almost every time, the cream not too sweet, the cake airy and fluffy. The SALTED CARAMEL MACARON is the my personal favorite flavor of macaron, dainty sweet and delicious with a coffee drink. These are all so lovely enjoyed on the homey wooden tables and chairs, a mini grandfather clock nearby, or a piano overlooking your tea. SERVICE: Friendly and not intrusive at all, it's like you're hanging out at a friend's place if that friend has excellent coffee and cakes and ceramics :) "Take your time", the cafe says! Lovely place and one of our favorites. read more

I love this tea spot. The owner plays classical music, has nice tables far enough away from each other that you can enjoy quiet, private conversations with your friend(s). He also serves his tea on beautiful European porcelain tea cups and saucers and has a variety of dessert options. It is a very quaint and private way to enjoy tea and dessert and they also have coffee drinks for those who don't drink tea. It is a perfect blend of tea culture offerings, in a very comfortable setting with excellent service. read more

We brought coffee and dessert. The cake was great but the coffee was pretty mid. The owner served us and he highly recommended the shaved ice but we were too full. He is really kind and an eccentric person. This is a Korean cafe and it's mainly Korean people so I'm not sure if the speak English. I think the cafe was an actual home. Everything looked like a piece of art. Basically you are paying for the experience and vibe. The food was pretty expensive like everything was about 8 dollars. So if you wanna be bougie for some date then this is the place to go read more

It's been awhile since I came back. This is by far my favorite place to have coffee and enjoy the ambiance. Service is excellent!!!

It was apparent that Koreans frequent this place when my dad, brother and I walked in after dinner at Isaan Station a few blocks away. I was looking for dessert and saw that Cafe Giverny had a bingsoo with toasted grain topping which looked appealing. Walking in, we were greeted by a casually dressed man in Korean and we were seated immediately seated at a table for three right by the door. The decor looked nice and like a older style French home with the paintings and the porcelain dishes. It was a nice casual place for people to chat and hang out, and the demographic at the time was mostly older customers, probably around 40s-50s. It kind of gave me a Penthouse vibe (the kdrama that was really popular) with the French aesthetic but definitely not as extravagant. We ordered a shaved ice (aka bingsoo in Korean) with multi grain toasted topping with red bean on the side. The grain was some kind of puffed crunchy thing and also the ice was layered with what I assume is injeolmi powder. It was a simple but pleasant flavor. I would have favored the powder like texture that some places offer but the coarser texture wasn't too bad since it wasn't clumpy. The red bean helped to give it a sweetness to balance the grainy flavor. My brother also ordered a coffee macaron but I didn't taste it so I can't comment on that, but it did look well made in terms of the presentation. I saw that they also have available a strawberry shortcake and bread with some special butter and some other bread-based offerings. I typically am not a bread person but I would try them out since I like specialty things and they looked great. They also serve tea in decorated teapots (although I did spy a teabag at another table in the teapot, not that there's anything wrong with it but I would have expected loose tea leaves if they're going to have that as their main beverage option). Overall I would rate Cafe Giverny as 5 stars as the limited offerings all looked appealing such that I would want to come back to try it and it felt like a nice place to hang out with friends in a relaxed setting. read more

My boyfriend and I came here at lunch time. I've been meaning to go to an afternoon tea type of place. The teapot and tea cups here so sooo cute! The tables are different from one another, making your own space unique and..well yours! We ordered the strawberry cake slice, English breakfast tea, and a hot cafe Vienna. The strawberry was mildly sweet and the tea helped wash down the sweetness. The cake wasn't the best cake I've had but it did the job of meeting my sweet tooth. My boyfriend said it tastes stale/old. The whole teapot fills around ~4 tea cups worth from what I recall. Overall, the experience was cutesy and aesthetic. read more
