I stopped by Yeems Coffee with some friends and tried a few of their drinks. My personal favorites…read morewere their Rose Matcha Latte and Vienna Latte. The Rose Matcha Latte was smooth and earthy with a strong floral note, possibly overpowering the matcha in my opinion but still tasty. The Vienna latte was richer and creamier, with a good balance between the coffee and sweet cream. Small, cute spot to enjoy some unique drinks!

It was refreshing, smooth, and not overly sweet, which I really enjoyed. Price-wise, it's pretty comparable to other popular matcha spots. The interior was clean, tidy, and had a nice modern feel, and the staff were friendly as well. One thing to keep in mind is that there isn't a lot of seating, so it may be better for grabbing a drink to go when it gets busy. Overall, another good experience, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their matcha drinks!

Queueing up is fairly easy after entering, and the line goes straight to ordering and then pick-up. While waiting for the order, you can also watch them prepare your drink in line order, though many just skip to the end. I really enjoyed the light colors, interior decor, and organization of Stagger Coffee. The interior screams that Stagger really thought about both function and form; sitting may be a bit cramped at times, but it's K-town and foot traffic and visitor count is high. There's also some seating outdoors on the stone benches which can be nice until someone's smoking in the corridor. The iced latte? The first sips were good and bold, but this drink definitely felt more icy and watered down within 15 minutes. I'm not sure why but sip after sip, I felt less interested in drinking it. Perhaps I'll give this another try in the future, but for now this might be a one-time visit.

There was only one person in line when we arrived and there were a few open tables inside. It's chill vibes, people were working on their laptops, reading, or hanging out with friends. They have four different types of unsweetened matcha. I ordered the Hokatsu matcha with honey and it was light and delicious! They brought out of our drinks to our table which was nice. The service was friendly and I can't wait to visit again!

The guy at the front with the pierced right ear was rude and dismissive. I tried ordering a chai…read moreand was told they don't carry it. I explained that Yelp has an "Order" section that directs customers to DoorDash, where a chai is listed as an available item. Instead of simply explaining the situation, he was condescending and insisted that they were not affiliated with DoorDash. The employee making the coffee eventually had to step in and explain that they used to accept DoorDash orders but stopped about a year ago. If that's the case, this is clearly something the business needs to address. Their Yelp listing is still directing customers to DoorDash, creating confusion about what they actually offer and where they can order from. Mistakes happen, but there was absolutely no reason for the front employee to be so dismissive or condescending when I was simply trying to order something that their own Yelp listing indicated was available. Updating the DoorDash information would be a good start, and so would treating customers with a little more courtesy.

I wanted a refreshing matcha since it was such a hot day and I was going to a festival, and it HIT! It also didn't make my stomach hurt going into the festival which was another thing. I got the strawberry lemonade matcha and I love the balance or sweet and tart the strawberry lemonade gave. The matcha paired perfectly! Service: Amazing! Two nice ladies were helping me and my party and I love how incredible their service was. I had a problem with my last visit with the service, but you can tell these ladies were incredible :) Ambiance: Still so clean and aesthetic since I've last visited. Overall, I am so happy that my experience here was very pleasant!! Also so happy I gave this shop another chance. Will def be back! ;)

Malaya understood the assignment. We ordered the Ube Creme Latte and the Caramel Banana Latte. The…read moreUbe Creme Latte was the clear winner. It had an authentic ube flavor that tasted like actual ube instead of someone whispering "ube" into a regular latte. The Caramel Banana Latte was good too, but I've had better. The queso de bola ensaymada was absolutely superb. It was buttery, fluffy, perfectly sweet without sending you into a sugar coma, with just enough salty queso de bola to keep every bite interesting. The beef and asada empanadas disappeared embarrassingly fast. We probably should've ordered more. And can we take a moment to appreciate the parking lot? Finding parking in Silver Lake without circling the block 47 times feels like winning a small lottery. We had no trouble finding a spot. Come for the ube latte, stay for the ensaymada, and leave wondering why you didn't order a second empanada.

Came around 11:30am on a Saturday and lucked out with an outdoor table. Seating is pretty limited since it's a small café, so timing helps. Cold brew was smooth and rich.

Baristas were super friendly, which always makes a difference.

I will say it is quite sweet, even at less sweet, and I would stick to the double matcha since I found the regular iced matcha latte (less sweet) to be a little disappointing. The workers are sweet and helpful - the first time I visited, I came just a few minutes before closing, but the worker took her time to explain things to me rather than rushing me. That has left a lasting positive impression on me. The interior is cozy and oftentimes there are people working inside, but I haven't given it a try myself. I can say that it's a nice place to hang around as you're finishing your drink. If you're thinking about giving Dumbstruck a try, I highly recommend it!

When we came, they weren't busy at all. The birthday boy just got a black coffee, our other friend got some latte and I got my wife a passion fruit mango tea. The customer service here was great and they made our drink quick. We sat inside and just talk for a bit. There only one bathroom here so be aware of that. Overall we had a great experience here.

Came by to try something a little different and ended up going with their pistachio frappe. I was…read morereally looking forward to that nutty, slightly earthy pistachio flavor. I even asked if they could adjust it (they added pistachio powder), but it still leaned more like a mocha to me. It also wasn't that light green color I usually associate with pistachio drinks, so it caught me a little off guard. Overall, it ended up being on the sweeter side. That said, the staff were genuinely kind and the space feels really inviting--somewhere you can actually sit and stay for a bit. There's plenty of seating, which I appreciate. Only downside is parking can be a little tough. Only meter parking but it's great for locals I'd still come back and look forward to trying other menu items like their horchata frappe and some of the bakery goods.

The valet staff were really nice about it. The café has a cool industrial vibe with exposed ceilings, concrete floors, warm lighting, and some unique vintage touches. It definitely has more character than your typical modern coffee shop. They also have a good selection of pastries, cookies, and other baked goods. I ordered an Espresso Tonic and an Iced Americano. The Espresso Tonic was really refreshing and had a nice citrusy kick. I enjoyed the flavor, but the portion was surprisingly small, which was a little disappointing. The staff inside were friendly and nice as well. Overall, I liked the coffee, service, and atmosphere. I'd definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

There is outdoor seating and a couple tables indoors too. The storefront itself is pretty small though. I ordered the Yuzu Matcha tonic with less sweetness and it was really good! It's a super refreshing drink, with the green tea and citrus elements coming out on top of the sparkling sweetness. Honestly, one of the best matcha drinks I've had overall! The yuzu bits are incorporated in the drink, adding a light sweet and bitter taste. Service was super friendly and accommodating. Reasonable prices and this café stands out because of its free parking for sure. There are lots of cute shops lining the street that Picnic Coffee is located on, so check those out too! Overall, definitely a recommended place.

It's the perfect little neighborhood stop for anyone who appreciates beautiful branding, unique flavors, and well-crafted coffee drinks. Quick service for complex drinks!

It's oh so good and decadent The Cortadito is bold, smooth, and just sweet enough like those you find in Little Havana. Both the dessert and coffee came to about $8.50 which isn't a bad deal at all for their sizes My only minor complaint is the service. There was one customer ahead of me who ordered a lot of pastries. One cashier was getting those items and the cook asked if I wanted "food" or just sweets. When I said just the sweets he said I had to wait. I don't see why he couldn't have just grabbed my items? It was about a 10-15 minute wait with all that going on. Then I asked for a cafe Cubano and sorry but I had no clue what the cashier said and only understood "cortadito" so that's what I was given. When she asked if I wanted for here or to go, I asked for here and she packed my items to go. I'm not sure if it's a language barrier or listening issue so I'm glad it was a major thing to inconvenience my experience
