Gong-Gan is such a cute little coffee shop! We ordered their french toast and breakfast sandwich as well as strawberry matcha and the viral affogado coffee. Everything my friend and I tried was amazing and I can't wait to return! note - parking can be a bit tricky since it's street only and they can get really busy in mornings but after 11am it was quiet and there was more seating available! I also love that they are open late too. read more

Matcha : mid French toast : mid // took 20 mins with no customers sitting in Whole floor are dirty read more

Coffee is really good but it's pretty expensive for the size you're getting, like in the photo. I like the small size option but it should be cheaper. Plus they said not to use a straw but idk how they'd expect anyone to drink it when they gave it in a cap like that lol. Otherwise, it's an aesthetic cafe, parking can be tricky on a crowded day but otherwise shouldn't be too hard to find street. read more

Came in for a quick matcha. I've really been looking for a place that can make a creamy matcha without any dairy. So I asked if I can have the "Matchaest" without the cream top (since that's made with dairy) and even without the cream top the matcha was sweet and creamy, honestly exceeded my expectations! I got mine with oat milk. Their menu is so creative and fun too, I can't wait to come back and try different things. The ambiance in there was chill with unique decor. I honestly loved it. 10/10 recommend! read more

Vibes are immaculate. Give the corn cream latte a try! It's magnificent. Tiffany, the barista, was a doll and perfectly crafted each beverage we ordered. The French toast was delicious; crisp on the exterior but soft inside. The brûlée on the outside made it the perfect bite. I hate when French toast tastes too eggy, but none of that here! read more

Yum! @hat a cute, colorful, and fun cafe! Came to Gong Gan on a Saturday around 10am and it was pretty empty. My husband and I ended up ordering: Dark Latte, Black Sesame Latte, Spicy Bacon Egg Sandwich, and Mushroom Cream Baguette. We really enjoyed everything! The coffees were great. As a chocolate lover, I really enjoyed my dark chocolate latte and the black sesame latte was fantastic too! The Spicy Bacon Egg Sandwich was good and tasted just like I'd imagined (wish the bacon was rendered a bit more). The Mushroom Cream Baguette was surprising as I didn't know I'd like it so much. It was really flavorful and tasted like french onion soup. It definitely wasn't the prettiest sandwich, but it certainly was tasty! Overall, I really enjoyed my visit to Gong Gan. read more

If you're looking for cool vibes and a full-on sensory trip, check out Gong Gan. Warning: coming here may send you into a mild hallucination from all the funky aesthetic decor and wildly creative menu designs Literally every drink comes out looking exactly like the illustrations on the menu. I ordered the Matchest, their ceremonial matcha topped with matcha cream, while my friend got the meringue affogato purely for the vibes. The bright blue drink instantly reminded me of the Smurfs -- so cute (sorry Gen-Zers, you probably won't get the reference lol). This is definitely one of those fun spots to hang out, yap with your friends, and take a million photos. The drinks are rich and definitely on the sweeter side, so I probably wouldn't come all the time, but for a little dopamine boost and a quirky café experience, it's absolutely worth checking out. read more

Aesthetic inside with lots of seating. The drinks unfortunately were overpriced and not memorable. The espresso is not strong and the coconut latte didn't have any coconut flavor, just a sprinkling of coconut shavings. The earl grey drink was unique but I wouldn't get it again. $9 for each drink. And it is not specified on the menu but they charge extra for alternative milks read more

Butter latte (butterscotch) - lovely butterscotch flavor cream top. Sweet, but not sugary, so probably good even if you like things less sweet to begin with, like me! Corn Cream Latte - nice corn cream top. This tastes like cereal milk. Of you've ever had Magpie's corn cereal soft serve, it's reminiscent. Sunday morning cartoons in a cup also a very nice sweetness level! They have a pretty nice looking *all-day* brunch menu, so I'd come back to try that some time. Their waffle/French toast desserts also look pretty and decadent. This space is pretty big, interesting chairs, good sized tables, spaced out so you don't feel too close to other people. The light is nice in here, and there is plenty of natural light from the big front windows. The AC is strong. Bless. A pleasure on a hot day. They have two clean and functional restrooms. Service was personal, informative and quick! read more

Found this spot on a whim we were right next door and it did not disappoint. Decor was very whimsical and fun. We only tried their drinks can't say much about their food. Corn Cream -best corn latte I've had, creamy and not too sweet. Strong corn flavor shines through the espresso. Bits of dehydrated corn kernels added just the right amount of texture. Matchaest -matcha was just right and creamy. Solid matcha latte. Black Sesame Latte -opted to add espresso shot, coffee wasn't as strong as I'd like it to be. This drink might be better without the coffee added. Not the best I've had but not bad. read more

Gong Gan - Left to right: Corn Cream, Matchaest, Black Sesame Latte - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We were only able to stop by for some drinks this time, but we're definitely going to come back for the food and dessert. The inside of Gong Gan is decorated like a giant cute, kitschy gift shop. I was obsessed with the blue furry lamp and the giant disco bean. Even the restrooms were decorated very well! We ordered the Black Sesame Latte, Gong Gan Latte, Corn Cream, and Butter Latte. I was most excited to try the Black Sesame Latte and the Corn Cream, but I actually ended up loving the Butter Latte the most! Don't get me wrong - all the drinks here are absolutely amazing. But my favorite drinks of the day were the Butter Latte and the Black Sesame Latte. You could definitely taste the butter in the Butter Latte, and you could definitely taste the black sesame in the Black Sesame Latte. Unfortunately I couldn't really taste the corn flavor in the Corn Cream Latte. I can't wait to come back to try the food here! read more

Honestly, I read reviews for this cafe and wanted to love it, but a lot of their hype is the cute branding and cafe atmosphere. The spicy bacon sando and blueberry French toast were generously portioned, but expensive. Their matcha snow was more sweet and milky. Their service was nice, and even walked the food to our table. However, for the price, it was just ok. read more

Food/drinks: 3.5 Service: 3 Ambiance: 3.5 I specifically drove out to check out Gong Gan because I had heard good things, saw great reviews, and thought it looked really neat. I was especially curious to try the affogato. It is located in a small strip mall type area with limited parking, but they do provide reserved parking for their patrons which is listed on their website. I was lucky enough to find street parking and it was just a short walk over. I came on a Saturday evening and it was actually pretty quiet with just a few patrons inside and outside. Upon entering, it looked exactly like the photos on Yelp. Very artsy, but it did not wow me as much as I expected. The lady at the front greeted me, but service was just OK and not overly friendly. It was toward the end of the night, so maybe she was just tired. We ended up ordering a strawberry latte, the matcha affogato, and the pig bar croffle. We grabbed a seat and everything came out within a few minutes. The drinks were very pretty and aesthetic. I especially loved the layers of the strawberry latte and the matcha affogato looked beautiful as well. Unfortunately, the taste did not quite match the presentation. The strawberry latte just did not impress me, and the matcha affogato, while visually stunning, was just OK. The croffle, however, was the highlight for me. It was warm, gooey, and everything you would want in a warm dessert paired with something cold. I enjoyed that the most. Overall, I did enjoy checking this place out, but I would not go out of my way to come back. I would give it a strong 3.5 stars. read more

Great place for unique coffees, sweet treats, and a memorable space to chill in. Definitely lots of photo worthy little corners, and everything inside the cafe down to the napkins has been customized to fit the vibe of the cafe. This place makes me think of themed cafes in Korea. I got the corn latte, earl gray and blueberry french toast, and an egg tart. The toast and tart were served nice and warm. The toast was soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. I enjoyed the flavors of the corn latte too. I came on a weekday morning and it wasn't crowded. I'll definitely be back to try some other drinks and brunch items! There's a small parking lot shared with some other businesses. read more

Am I the last one to hear about Cilantro-ade??? Yes you heard it right...a cilantro refresher. Imagine an iced limeade with fresh mint and hint of cilantro herb. Of course can't forget the decorative bunch of cilantro leaves that's soaked into the refresher. Don't be afraid, the cilantro isn't overpowering but it gives a perfect amount of herbal aroma. Highly highly recommend trying it. Soooooo delicious. They also have an assortment of matchas. Tried the matchest which has a creamy and buttery foam top. Very good. This cafe also serves brunch options including Croffles and French toast with various toppings you can choose from. Believe this is a Korean owned business so of course they'll have Korean breakfast choices. Tried the kimchee fried rice with a an egg sunny side up. Pretty good. Wish they added a little more kimchee to it (but I am Korean so I do enjoy a heavier kimchee flavoring). Overall cute and cozy cafe that brings you many breakfast and brunch options for you and all of your friends to choose from. A myriad of matchas, coffees, and refresher choices. Love this place and will definitely be coming back again. read more

Gong Gan is such a cute spot with tasty drinks and pretty decor! I love everything about their asethetic. I haven't had their food yet, but hope to check it out sometime. My drink is 10/10 so good, I order the Gong Gan Cream drink everytime (though the last time I went, I found that you have to ask for the waffle piece for extra $$ or something? I can't remember, but I know it doesn't automatically come with it anymore, that's what I was told) The drink is so tasty, but I just wish it were in a bigger cup. The drinks are on the smaller side compared to other places, so I don't go as often as I'd like simply because I feel like it only takes me 4 gulps and the drink is done; all for $8. That being said, it's still delicious. Parking can be a pain, it's metered/street parking, or if you're lucky, Gong Gan has 2-3 spots of their own right next to the entrance. read more

what a cute coffee shop that makes super aesthetic drinks. the tables are decorated with it a funky theme too. it's such a fun place to bring your friends. the guy at the counter was super patient and explained the differences between the two different matcha drinks. i ended up getting a matcha latte with a cream foam and it was the perfect amount of sweetness! read more

I've been meaning to try this spot out for the longest. I was craving coffee after getting my nails done next door. The person who helped me recommended their corn cream drink and omg it was amazing!

I might need to pass by again to do some homework and try their other drinks and desserts forsure read more

Gong Gan - Matchaest - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great spot to hang out over snacks and drinks with very thoughtful interior decoration. Went here with friends in the morning to start the day and catch up. Limited street parking for the place, but it wasn't so bad as we went early in the morning. Interior has cozy vibes with nice tiny flourishes peppered throughout. The tasteful styling is present in the menu too! Very cute. Ambiance is great for a leisurely chit chat. Staff was great with recommendations and friendly. It took a while for everything to come out with only one person working in the morning, but each item looked like a lot of effort was put into it. Lots of table seating inside and a little amount of seating outside. I got a Strawberry Latte to start. Very creamy with rich strawberry flavor at the bottom. It definitely was more cream than anything else and ended up being very light in terms of actual drink to drink. I ordered a Gong Gan Latte in addition to it. The Latte is great with again, more cream and nice coffee flavor. One of my friends correctly noted that a lot of drinks here include some form of cream (visually appealing, but not great if you're not a cream fan). I had a Strawberry French Toast as a bite and it's best to be shared: the condensed milk sweetness was a lot, especially with sweet drinks. Nice spot! The prices are a little pricey if you're trying to just get a caffeine fix, but worth it for the visual flair and fun and effort put into entire experience. read more

The food, service, and atmosphere here is amazing!!! Met the front desk worker named Sarah after my second time being here. I had the affogato merengue which was AMAZING. The créme brûlée French toast is also to die for and I am not a French toast person. Not to sweet, just right. Overall such a nice chill vibe that makes you comfortable. 100%%% recommend!!! read more

Spent my Valentine's Day at one of the coziest, most aesthetic café spots in LA Yelp reviewers always rave about the chill vibe, cute presentation, and creative menu -- and I get it now. What I ordered: Two Cream Corns -- unexpectedly SO good. Creamy, savory, lowkey addictive.

Gong Gan - Corn Cream, Meringue Affogato - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is really cool. Awesome drink creations. A croissant burger that was perfectly balanced (usually the buttery croissant would be overwhelming and add a an unwelcome heaviness). The waffles were also really interesting. The texture was like a waffle combined with mochi. It's incredibly indulgent and not something I should have very often, but I'm glad it exists. read more

This place is SO SO SO cute! They were so thoughtful and intentional with all the details including the décor, the furniture, and just overall the vibe, everything feels curated and perfect . The chairs were all unique and funky which made it so fun just to sit there, look around, and soak in the atmosphere. The menu is also really creative and unlike anything I've seen before absolutely adorable. All of the coffee we tried was great. I tasted my friends' drinks and they were delicious. I got the corn coffee and it was good but I'll just say to be careful with the cornbread on top it's a little dry and very chokeable lol. But the foam was very good One downside was that there was an item on the menu I really wanted to order but it was no longer available which was disappointing but I understand. I ended up getting the tuna toast instead and I personally wouldn't recommend it. it was basically straight tuna on very toasted bread, almost too toasted. I think even a little arugula or avocado on top would have made a big difference. For $10 I expected a lil more and it did come on a very small plate so it felt a bit underwhelming. My friend got the breakfast sandwich and that was really good and so were the potatoes. Overall, Gong Gan is a beautiful and thoughtfully designed space with good coffee and an amazing aesthetic. With just a few improvements to some of the food items and it could be truly perfect. read more

Immediately when you enter Gong Gan, you feel like you have to mentally bookmark this cafe. From the inviting and quirky interior to the incredibly unique menu to the way the sunlight filters softly through the windows...this place instantly makes you feel like you found somewhere special. Perfect for a quiet work time for yourself, or spending a slow day catching up with a friend. I was instantly mesmerized by their corn coffee (on top of many things, I wanted to try SO many things on their menu!) I went with their Corn Latte and their Ricotta French Toast. The Corn Latte had bits of crunchy sweet corn crumbles on top. It was SO delicious, and I always love a texture pop. Best Corn Latte I've had in LA so far honestly - it retained a creamy texture and the corn was not overwhelming. The Ricotta French Toast was HUGE - you could share this with a few friends or split it into 2 meals. I never thought to pair ricotta and french toast together, but ricotta just elevates anything. Staff is incredibly nice. Limited street parking, but since we went mid weekday, it was pretty easy for us. Everything is definitely on the pricey side, but the options are so unique that it's worth the experience. read more

Came to Gong Gan around 11am on a saturday! Parking was easy as there was ample street parking around this time (2hr limit). The line was out the door and we waited about 15 minutes to order. Got lucky and found a table! Theres good turn over at the inside and outside tables but you may need to get lucky, especially for a bigger party. What I got: - black sesame latte (5/5) - absolutely delicious! The mochi balls on top were soft and chewy and the drink was rich and full of sesame flavor! 100% would come back! read more

Love love love this place! It was super busy when I went but their service was still so amazing. All of the workers were so sweet and our drinks came out quickly We ordered the strawberry latte, black sesame latte, and the meringue affogato. The strawberry latter wasn't too sweet, which was perfect. The meringue affogato was super rich and bold, definitely woke me up. The black sesame latter was very nutty and has a savory hint to it, wasn't my personal fave but it was still a good try! Interior wise, just how fun the drinks and food look, the decorations and overall vibe match the playfulness! The decor was just so cool and aesthetic.

Omg! This adorable café sits on Sunset and serves delicious bakery items, savory lunch/dinner entrees and one of a kind, specialty drinks and coffees. Like, why would you ever degrade your taste buds to a chain coffee shop when you can delight in Gong Gan. I popped my cherry with the Corn Cream coffee with extra espresso shot. Smooth finish, espresso left no bitter or burnt aftertaste, flavor profile was off the chain! I was beyond impressed. Reminded me of the coffee lollipops from See's Candies. I felt my body wake up! Today, I ordered the Honey coffee with oatmilk. Again, expertly crafted. Absolutely F'ing DELICIOUS. There are vibrant cinnamon notes through out. My mouth climaxed multiple times. Still enjoying my beverage..Trying not to down it all so I can savor the moment. My son ordered the cilantro drink and loved it so much, went and grabbed another. It was very refreshing. He also got the mango drink. I finished that one for him. Yes, I will be getting that in the near future. Don't sleep on this spot. I certainly will not. Enjoy! read more

Gong Gan is not your average coffee shop; it's a full-on aesthetic experience. Nestled on Sunset Blvd in Silverlake, this fun Korean inspired café feels like stepping into a dreamscape. The vibe/ambience with it's quirky furniture and whimsical drinks look like they belong in a gallery. It's no wonder the space draws creatives and content lovers alike. The Gosu Ade was a total standout for me visually. It's a really refreshing, herby and vibrant drink; just wished it was way less sweet than I expected it to be :) However I really appreciate the creativity behind it. Their menu is full of several inventive drinks that makes it so difficult to choose a drink :) Service here is impeccable. The staff are warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. If you're in LA and looking for a café that's equal parts flavor and flair, Gong Gan is a must-visit. It's fun, cool, and full of delightful surprises.

Still on my search for the best matcha in Los Angeles, and this spot is definitely near the top of my list! I stopped by Gong Gan Coffee and was pleasantly surprised.

It's a cute, cozy coffee shop with a very chill vibe that's perfect for getting some work done. The Wi-Fi was reliable, there was plenty of space to settle in, and I never felt rushed. Bonus points for having parking available, which is always a win in Los Angeles!

I'll be back as I continue my hunt for the ultimate matcha! read more

Black sesame latte was very good! It's so hard to find a good black sesame latte because sometimes the sesame flavor is kind of bitter.
