Under the Speciality drinks, I had to try their Magic Latte for $8 plus an extra 50 cents for an oat milk sub! I loved this drink with it's mix of clove, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg ~ yum. I also got,per suggestions from you Yelpers (thanks!), the Jurassic Magic Cold Brew ($6.50) which I added vanilla syrup for 50 cents to. Liked it but it didn't hit as much as that Magic Latte. They also have a bunch of baked goods, sourced from Sugar Bloom Bakery. The Gluten-free devil's food donut is $5.50 here and I love it. I understand they may be starting to bake some of their own pastries, as well, Overall, glad I popped into Jurassic Magic and love their new-ish food spot Convi next door.

I also got their monkeybread which was fabulous! It's like a cinnamon roll taste profile in a more cake configuration. The barista was super friendly at this location and the one in Culver where I first had the Dolly latte (iced). Worth a try and somewhat affordable within the LA coffee landscape.

Walk by, and... you have keen eyes if you catch the sign by the door. Walk in, and you're welcomed by the most inviting woman who's ready to make you one of the best espressos and drinks from scratch. I'm not one to be venture out of a basic iced latte, but I knew I had to go for one of their seasonals when they had black sesame - unfortunately sold out! (Even at 11am... must be popular!) Somehow, some way, I had the privilege of trying their iced oat latte with black sesame foam. There was everything to like about this drink from the perfectly bold espresso - a good balance of nutty but toasty - but also a sesame cream foam. After getting the drinks, there is a quiet space to sit around and lounge about. Have a book or magazine? The couch is perfect. Have work to do? There's small tables in the hallway or even a large table and desk inside the private room. Comfortably enough, the ambiance itself is best described as open arms exclaiming "Welcome Home!" almost like a friend or neighbor is inviting you to their apartment for a cup of coffee. Wi-Fi and outlets are definitely available here. The only thing to bring to reach a flow state is your own set of noise cancelling earbuds. The walls and doors are indeed paper thin, and the traffic from the street does have a way of echoing and rumbling these walls. Other than that, though, my only bittersweet feeling with sharing this glowing review of Espresso Social Club is that finding space to work on future visits might now be a bit more competitive.

Their menu is short but they have availability to mix and match flavors to the type of drink. I can't forget to add in seasonal drinks too. The employee at the counter was very kind and quick, despite having to make four drinks on her own. I got the matcha with honey, vanilla, a splash of condensed milk with oat milk and it was delicious. There were a few couches and chairs to sit the few minutes while my drink was curated. There's even artwork on the wall to view while waiting. Simplicity but quality, that's how I'd describe the ambiance, decor, and drinks. I'd definitely make another trip.

quality is TEAAA (literally..)…read more There are so many cafes that serve matcha lattes, but as someone who is VERY picky about their matcha blend, I can tell when the cafe uses ceremonial grade matcha. DAMO 100% uses ceremonial grade quality and probably 5-6g of matcha per serving!! I prefer my matcha unsweetened (occasionally having some sweetness added from the syrup/puree/cloud foam a cafe uses) and whatever blend DAMO uses..chef's kiss!! I've been here 4 times, and the quality is consistent each time! Service: quick Parking: lowkey horrible (but that's all of k-town...) Shop design: aesthetic--very minimalistic and pretty. They also have a restroom and free WiFi! Limited seats when busy :c Drinks: BOMB.com will always come back :)

I don't often get matcha, but when I do... I make sure that it's somewhere good. DAMO had really…read moregood reviews, so here I am! Parking here may be difficult to find on the street, but they do have valet, too. On a Saturday afternoon, this spot is packed and quite hard to find a place to sit. Wi-Fi is available, though note that plugs and seating may be another issue. Not every spot comes with a plug, and it's going to be full, so you may need to wait 15-20 minutes. It is indeed a small spot, so if you're looking for a quiet spot to work, this might not be it. The interior decor, though, is quite clean aesthetically and is relaxing to work in. The Matcha Latte, though, let me say if you're in need of an afternoon pick-me-up, this will keep you energized, even without the sugar! A few sips in and a half cup later, I had so much energy I could probably run a marathon if I had the right shoes (and I don't even like running).

I had a very upsetting experience at Marlowe Coffee & Eatery. I came in with my son and from the…read morevery beginning, the cashier's attitude was terrible, dismissive, unfriendly, and clearly irritated when I simply asked for a recommendation. She suggested a latte, and when I asked if they had coconut milk, she responded rudely that they didn't, with no effort to be helpful. The interaction only got worse from there. She then said, "Do you want me to take your order or not?" in an aggressive tone. At that point, I chose to leave. As I was walking out with my son, she told me not to come back. The way I was treated felt discriminatory and completely unprofessional. It was also embarrassing to be spoken to like that in front of my child. No customer should experience that kind of behavior. I will not be returning. Update: I tried calling OHIO number that is listed on the BBB. And the owner hung up knowingly.

The barista was helpful in sharing all the matcha options I could get so I chose the matcha with lavender syrup. The matcha had a deep green color and blended nicely with a hint of lavender so it wasn't too sweet. Price point felt a bit higher for the flavored matcha options. Easy street parking in the neighborhoods. Went in the afternoon so it wasn't that busy. The outdoor patio was gorgeous, spacious, and had a really cute aesthetic. Would totally meet up with some friends here since it's a friendly vibe outside.

I first came to this spot because a friend of mine invited a group of us for a galentines gathering…read morewhere we made charm bracelets and bag chains. Travis was so accommodating, even though at some point we had taken over several tables (in our defense it was not particularly busy). Now, I come here sometimes when I'm not running late to work/have some extra time to spare in the morning. The space is set up great for catching up with friends (like we did) or getting some work done (I always see at least one person on a laptop when I drop by). There's a little parking lot right in front, and I've been able to park there easily each visit. I normally order some sort of cold coffee. On my most recent visit I got a blue mint latte, which was both aesthetically pleasing and delicious. I'm also a fan of the pastries. I've had some sort of tomato pastry and a jalapeño cheese croissant, both of which satisfied whatever savory craving I was having. I appreciate the resources posted, the signage that's up, and the community events that happen here. The energy and intention behind this space are wonderful.

The calm and slow vibe made it a convenient space to focus and get some work done or simply just chill and read without interruption. They did offer nibbles so it's just perfect. I got their 'New Orleans Latte' and I would say it impressed me as much as the version from the well-known chain coffee shop in town (IYKYK). Bold flavor, right sweetness and creaminess, for which mine went with almond milk.

I intend to try more on the menu and would order something if my gut tells me to but I tend to stick to the tried and true. You can taste the espresso and the honey! Service has always been very friendly and efficient. I notice that from time to time, they would have an event, where vendors are set up outside. I would suggest following their social medias to get updates on these special pop-ups.
