Sawtelle is full of cool restaurants and shops and ChitChat fits right in…read more We were waiting for a few stores to open, so we wandered down the street away from the main stretch and found ChitChat. Worth the short trek. It was a cold Sunday morning, but the place was busy with families, Gen Z'ers, young couples and lots of dogs. Out front, two girlfriends were hanging out with their matchas deep in gossip and clearly enjoying the morning. The matcha seemed popular, but I needed something hot. I appreciated that their drink menu had some personality, because a lot of coffee/matcha spots feel like they're copying from the same boring menu. I got the sea salt mocha and it was delicious. Smooth, chocolatey and just salty enough. My wife got some type of cereal milk latte, which sounded epic but was apparently just mid. Still, we didn't regret the walk. ChitChat is a cool little Sawtelle stop with good drinks, good energy and plenty of dog-friendly vibes. Pro tip: Afterwards, swing-by Yamaguchi Bonsai Nursery kitty-corner from the coffee shop. The bonsai garden is insane.

I absolutely adore this place and have been going nearly everyday for about a year. The service is…read morewonderful and it's easily the best coffee in Sawtelle. However, recently they've been playing AI generated music and it's very disappointing to hear. I would much rather hear one song on loop over and over again, than a playlist of AI slop. This coffee shop is so warm and cozy but the change in music really takes away from the space and makes me not want to come in. If you're cutting corners with AI, where else are you cutting it short? I hope this is something that changes because it is my favorite cup of coffee in town!

Disappointing end to 15 years of loyalty…read more I have been a loyal customer of Coffee Tomo since 2011, frequently recommending it to friends. Sadly, that ends today. Over the last couple of years, the charm of this café has faded, culminating in a truly awful experience this morning. The solo staff member working today was incredibly discourteous. Because I had my leashed dog with me, she practically threw me out of the store. While she pointed to the "no dogs allowed" sign, I explained that I was only inside to order and planned to sit outside, something I have done on countless previous visits. After being forced to wait outside, my drink was left sitting on the counter for several minutes. The barista never bothered to let me know it was ready, despite the café being slow. To make matters worse, the beverage was poorly made, with coffee spilled all over the saucer. This isn't the first time I've experienced bad service here, but it will definitely be the last.

Amazing, spectacular, and delicious are the three words that immediately come to mind…read more I had a meeting nearby, so my wife, my son, and I decided to stop in for breakfast. The drinks were very good and exactly what you'd expect from a quality café. But the food presentation--wow! It completely exceeded my expectations. We ordered the avocado toast, the breakfast burrito, and the egg on brioche. Every dish was beautifully plated, garnished with edible flowers, and served with a fresh, delicious salad. I honestly wasn't expecting this level of presentation from a café. The portions were generous as well, leaving us completely satisfied. I also tried one of their pastries that reminded me of a cinnamon roll. It was enjoyable, though as a professional baker and pastry chef, I felt the pastries were the one area with room for improvement. In my opinion, they seemed to prioritize elegance and originality over achieving the best texture and flavor. Even so, they were still good, and I appreciated the creativity. Overall, this was an outstanding breakfast experience. Beautiful presentation, delicious food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere. I would gladly return.

I'm writing this review hoping you guys bring the matcha back to how it used to be!…read more I've been going to Malou for about a year and a half, and I always used to order the Okinawa Cold Foam Matcha. Honestly, in my opinion, your matcha was #1 in LA! But for the past 2 months, the matcha and the foam have tasted much lighter. The flavor has definitely changed, and I also feel like the cup got a little bigger. Even though it's $8.50, I would honestly rather have a smaller cup with amazing flavor than a bigger cup that doesn't taste as good. I'm going to post an old photo and a recent photo so you can see the difference in both the color of the matcha and the size of the cup. Please bring the matcha back to how it used to be and don't change the quality of your ingredients! It used to be SO good. We miss the old Okinawa Cold Foam Matcha! Please bring it back!

I've ordered it twice, both on uber eats so it was delivery (so unsure what in store vibe is as I haven't been in person). I can say, both times, the wrap has been F****G sensational. The second time I got my cousin to try it with me, and she said it was the single best thing she's ever eaten. I am not a troll reviewer and I've only ever given one other 5* review... and I'm a HARSH critic, but this is without doubt deserving of the 5 stars. Just look the cross section.

It definitely tasted like vanilla, but, unfortunately, there was absolutely no trace of matcha :( My friends also agreed. This also happened with the other matcha drinks I tried here, even if it wasn't the Volcanic Vanilla. Their service is great despite being a busy cafe. They have seating inside and outside, but usually the inside is already filled up if you get there anytime after opening. I also like how they have a water bowl for pets hehe Parking isn't too bad, since there's street parking everywhere.

Upon ordering, about half of the items on the menu were not available. My friend ordered a chai, which came as purely as a steeped tea and without milk, which was fair but also somewhat unexpected. The drinks were ok. Not sure if this is the usual environment or maybe we visited on an off day.
