Drinks were excellent and I reordered the crème brûlée to see if I was correct in my original review. It was BETTER the 2nd time around! My daughter went with the strawberry dbl shot matcha latte and it was gone before we arrived home (2.5 miles), needless to say that was a winner too! Coffee and matcha done right when there's plenty of competition around the area...will keep us coming back for more.

Love their regular matcha latte with oat milk, smooth, creamy, earthy and they don't up-charge for oat milk!

We recently stopped by Cafe La Vies and ended up having such a fun experience…read more I ordered the banana matcha, which was absolutely delicious. The banana flavor paired surprisingly well with the matcha and made for a really refreshing drink. It was one of those drinks that I immediately knew I'd order again. But honestly, the highlight wasn't even the drink itself. It was the adorable little elephant vessel it came with. They put dry ice inside and then pour water into it, making it look like the elephant is blowing smoke out of its trunk. My daughter was completely mesmerized. Watching her reaction was worth the visit all by itself. What I loved most was that it wasn't just a gimmick. The drink was actually good, and the elephant made such a cute keepsake afterward. It felt like getting both a treat and a souvenir. The café itself had a fun atmosphere, and it was one of those places that felt a little different from your typical coffee or tea stop. Helpful tip: If it's your first visit, order one of the drinks served in the elephant. The presentation alone is worth it, especially if you're visiting with kids. Between the banana matcha and my daughter's excitement over the smoking elephant, this ended up being one of those unexpectedly memorable stops we'll be talking about for a while.

I was excited…read morebecause I've been seeing it advertised all over IG and then all the signs and what not in the store. I walk up to the counter and asked for the Mango Sticky Rice and the guy who helped me, idk what his name is had an attitude and was like we're out of it. I'm thinking to myself, sooo if you KNOW you're of something that's popular and on the menu, maybe you should put a sign somewhere stating that it's currently NOT AVAILABLE. Then I had to call back home to let my siblings know that the initial drink they wanted was not available, so they can choose something else and again the guy taking the order wad annoyed. My siblings decided upon the Mangonada with brown sugar boba and the iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha. Unfortunately, brown sugar boba was not available was all out for the day according to the cashier.. but no sign stating that they were sold out. I had to call my siblings again to let them know and ask if they wanted crystal boba as a replacement. To keep the order going while I was calling them, I asked for a mochi waffle and the guy threw his hands up annoyed and was like do you not want the boba for drink? I told the cashier I'll have the crystal boba instead of the brown sugar since it's currently unavailable, and the guy goes with an attitude... soo do you want the crystal boba? I said yess...yes I do. The Iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha was alrightt. It is definitely not all that it is hyped up to be. The drink IMO was just a basic iced matcha with chocolate drizzle on the side of the cup and the pistachio foam that barely tasted like pistachio.

They are owned and run by Journey Church, which is why they are in a Church building and it gives lowkey church lobby vibes. The Coffee here is excellent, I personally love the one and one, which is an espresso shot and a cortado for around $4. Service is kind, informative, and helpful. My one critique is parking is pretty confusing. It's a little challenging to actually find the shop, but it's nothing you can't solve in 45 seconds if you're determined to get your caffeine fix.

Parking was confusing, didn't realize it was in a church and there wasn't really obvious signage from the parking lot that you're in the right spot. I had to look at the other review pictures to be like okay, I am here. Interior is cute and modern, but lacking that lived in feel I prefer for coffee shops. Service was quick. The coffee itself seems to lean towards biblical (lol?) food items. Think olive oil, dates, tahini, honey. I got the Tahini Einspanner because how fun, I can get some tastes of tahini and date but the whip and syrup didn't mix well into the drink despite me aggressively trying so it just lasted like a $7 plain latte. I almost had to bite the whip because it was so thick. Seems like they're using quality ingredients so the intention is there, the executions needs some refinement.

I was dealing with terrible allergies, stressed out, exhausted, and honestly doubting myself every day. As a first-generation college student navigating this exam on my own, the pressure felt overwhelming. I spent nearly every day at this café during the month leading up to my exam. One day, the owner noticed I was falling asleep while studying. Anthony came over and offered me a coffee just to help me get through the day. From that point on, Anthony and Brenda constantly encouraged me and supported me throughout my journey! They showed me so much love, kindness, and consistency during a time when I truly needed it! Going into the exam, I struggled with major imposter syndrome and genuinely didn't believe I would do well. However, the day before, Brenda and Anthony created a gift basket with encouraging notes and snacks. Little did they know, that basket and their kind words gave me the courage to walk into that exam room the following day. Some coffee shops sell coffee. Places like Rescate offer love and care to their customers!!They are more than a coffee shop. Fast forward to today, I will be attending the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA! This could not have been possible without the love and support of Anthony, Brenda, and Dr. Andrea Casillas. Sí se puede. ¡Gracias, Rescate, para todos!

Even with that I would call the atmosphere very pleasant and calm. Two of those individuals were working on their laptops so definitely a place where individuals come to potentially do work or crank out a project they may be doing. I was really excited about coming on a day where they had a happy hour special and I definitely took full advantage of it. I got a classic milk tea and got the ube style macaron with it. I will say before I go into the food and drink itself, I was really happy with the person behind the register. She told me it was her very first day at the shop and I was asking these random questions and she was like I don't know but I can go find out for you and I'm like you know what don't worry about it I'm going to just try something at random and see how it goes and she get gold which made me go but it was the best case scenario based on us both not knowing the ins and outs of the menu. The macaron itself was superb. It was not overly sweet, the crunch of the bottom and top were perfect and it definitely melted in your mouth as you savor the taste. My milk tea again I'm a person that enjoys the taste of the tea and the black tea definitely came through which I was really happy about. The one thing that would have really made the tea extremely great for me would have been to be able to change the sweetness level. Again the person behind the register it was her first day so she wasn't sure how to do it so I got it as is but for me it was a little too sweet but again that is my preference. Overall I really enjoyed the space I definitely want to check out the other flavors of macaroons there and just chill out a little more often in this place.

The all-around favorites are the mango pomelo and the Mango Tango (make sure to get it with jasmine tea and they also have a yogurt option if you like some extra tartness)! I think when mangoes are in season they also add fresh mango to the drinks which is a huge plus. I am also a huge milk tea fanatic and personally like my tea very strong without any hint of it being watery. My favorites are the Da Hong Pao and Osmanthus Oolong for extra floral freshness, both at 80% sweetness which is the perfect level imo for even a sweet tooth like me! Their boba is always cooked to the perfect chewiness and my only complaint is that I wish their milk teas had the option of coming in a larger size! The staff is always very cheerful and friendly, something that hasn't changed at all since they opened, which I really appreciate. The space itself is also very bright and spacious with plenty of seating and they also have lots of great snacks which makes it a good spot for hanging out. They also do lots of fun decorations and special events for holidays!
