    Came to this event for a pop up and tried their strawberry matcha and it was amazing. I was surprised how creamy and sweet the matcha was. Their space is a tad small but they have seating inside and a small patio as well but staff were super friendly and welcoming despite the crazy crowd from the pop up. It's definitely a place to stop by and try if you're looking for good matcha and good service!

    Today, I went to Dolce Vita Coffee Shop and had their Iced Truffle Salted Latte. Last Wednesday, (7/8/2026), I had the Iced Truffle Salted Latte here while my mom had a Hot Americano. We both enjoyed our drinks so much that I couldn't stop thinking about mine, so I came back again today. Today's latte was just a little sweeter than last Wednesday's, but it was still absolutely delicious. Just like last time, I ordered it with very easy ice, almond milk, and decaf, and they made it perfectly. I especially appreciated that when I emphasized the easy ice and decaf, the barista--who took my order and made my drink--asked me if that amount of ice was exactly what I wanted and confirmed it one more time before making it. That extra attention to detail made the experience even better. The interior was incredibly cozy and peaceful. They had both indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor patio felt like a beautiful secret garden. With its cozy, quiet atmosphere, wonderful service, and amazing coffee, this is definitely a place I want to return to. Today was already my second visit, and I have a feeling I'll be coming back often. With its cozy, quiet atmosphere, wonderful service, and amazing coffee, this is definitely a place I want to return to. I'm planning to visit again very soon. Note 1) If you know the LA Koreatown area well, you can just use the address, but it's even easier to find if you know it's located inside the same plaza as Kim Sun Young Hair Salon. Since that salon has been around forever, almost anyone who has lived in LA for a while--especially Koreans--will know exactly where it is. Note 2) You can park inside the mall (I always have great parking luck, so I easily found an open spot today), or you can just find street parking. Note 3) Because the cafe is quiet and not noisy at all, it's a perfect spot to read a book or get some work done. It's also great that they have places to charge your phone.

    Matcha Latte and iced Tiramisu Latte and Pesto Bagel
    Jen P.

    They have parking at this location! The workers there are very nice. Please note that they have signs of not allowing outside food or drinks in. What they do allow, is PETS!! Right by the restroom they have a board filled with polaroids of customer's pets, it is absolutely adorable! Their restroom is pretty clean with a cute little sonny angel. They have an outside seating area. Their drinks are pretty solid. We got a matcha latte with a tiramisu latte. The matcha was average, not too bad but not outstanding, but their tiramisu on the other hand, was amazing!!!! We also got their organic bagel and it was not bad.

    Seth & Richard super chill and welcoming! Dropped by to check out this coffee joint and the pistachio latte was strong and just the right amount of pistachio without it being overly sweet. They also have a greenhouse inspired patio great for working or lounging should you need to switch it up.

    Dulce De Leche
    Michelle T.

    Had a dulce de leche latte!! Their drink was pretty good! And the service was even better. One of their workers walked me through their popular drinks and added some of their suggestions. Great environment and perfect place to study!

    An absolute pleasure it was right at the corner very intimate space when I walked in I was automatically greeted with respect and great customer service never had their coffee before, but it was amazing! I recommend anybody to go if you haven't! Again thanks to the team at Yelp for making this possible ‍

    Balcony Cold Brew
    Jessica G.

    Used to be Balcony, now the management seemed to have changed and the cafe came with brand new name, concept, and menu. Same convenient space with petite indoor seats and semi-outdoor covered patio. It's quite busy throughout the day on Sunday, but not to the point that there's long line. Some guests did linger for longer as they worked or even played games lol. We tried their latte with cream top as well as their Dulce De Leche latte. The cream was bit thicker than usual but it did taste good. If it could be slightly lighter, would certainly fancy it better. The Dulce De Leche was basically their version of caramel latte with extra drizzle, fit those who liked something sweet. Either the size or my drink choice, I thought the coffee was tad milky and I might want bolder espresso flavor. Next time I might either pick smaller size or went for other drinks.

    almond crossiant and lavender latte
    Celine K.

    the lavender syrup was so good, i loved the espresso too. they have a lot of signature drinks on the menu and are very helpful with choosing a drink. will come back to try more of the signature drinks!

    5/5: New management with Dolce Vita, coffee tastes exceptionally better than before. Everything organic. You can change the coffee beans upon request as well! There's always free parking in the lot. 5/5: cute ambiance. I highly recommend.

    banana cream matcha
    Darianna A.

    In an industry saturated with overhyped mediocre overly sweet artificially flavored coffee and matcha beverages, dolce vita will always stand out in the opposite direction. 10/10 a very memorable experience with high quality ingredients that didn't leave a bad taste lingering afterwards. The matcha latte was politely sweetened with that natural banana tone to it. super happy no torani syrups were involved

    Banana matcha and  matcha to make at home
    Kandace U.

    "Found my new favorite spot in K town ! The quality here is top-notch--they use organic coffee and organic ceremonial grade matcha, and you can really taste the difference. I highly recommend the banana cream matcha; it's a unique and delicious combo which did not taste artificial . We also shared a butter croissant that was absolutely delicious--perfectly flaky! My daughter had the strawberry latte, which she said tasted just like the best strawberry milk. I ended up buying a tin of the matcha to take home, and I love that the tins are refillable! The service was amazing and the staff made us feel so welcomed. We'll definitely be back!"

    Ham and cheese croissant and Iced Matcha Banana Cream
    Alexandra L.

    Great vibes. Theres a cool outdoor section to work/study. It is a little loud as it is next to a busy street but it's nice and shady. I got matcha banana and ham and cheese croissant. Both pretty good!! I didn't expect an actual croissant for some reason. But it was nice and flaky. The croissant was $8 so they did give a pretty big portion (for me at least!)

    Eunhee J.

    I stumbled upon this hidden gem right after closing time. Even though they were done for the day, the owner graciously welcomed us and made us the most delicious coffee. The coffee was just as wonderful as their hospitality. I especially loved the foam on top--it was incredibly soft and smooth. Acts of kindness like this are rare, and it completely made our day. Highly recommend!

My son also recommended it, even though he had never actually tried their drinks. LOL. It was one of his friend's favorite cafes so I was really looking forward to going. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the right time to stop by until toward the end of our trip. I'm so glad we finally did though because I'm now in love! Rok instantly became one of my favorite cafes in LA. If I had tried their drinks at the beginning of our trip, I honestly would have gone back every day until we left! They have so many interesting drink combinations. This time, I tried the Earl Grey Matcha Duo. I love both Earl Grey and matcha but I wasn't quite sure how well they would pair together until I took my first sip. OMG, it was sooooo good!!! The balance between the Earl Grey flavor and the matcha was perfect. No wonder they've been recognized as one of the best places for matcha in the U.S. They also use Uji matcha which made me even more excited to try it. Our first visit to Rok was only two days before we left LA and I liked it so much that I had to have it one more time before we went home. On the morning of our flight, we got up a little earlier just so we could stop by and get their drinks before heading to the airport! I got the Earl Grey Matcha Duo again while my husband and son both tried the Lotus Einspanner. My son has never been a coffee drinker so I was surprised that he wanted to try one. I honestly expected him not to finish it but he LOVED it! He did tell us later that the caffeine really got to him, though. LOL. There really isn't a cafe in my area that does matcha drinks well so I was especially happy that I got to enjoy such good matcha during this trip. Rok has definitely become one of my must-go cafes in LA and we'll absolutely be back the next time we visit!
