​This place is an absolute hidden gem! The vibes here are unmatched--it has a great, relaxed ambiance with amazing decor, including some awesome vintage cars that give it a really unique look. ​On top of the cool aesthetic, their Vietnamese coffee is really good perfectly strong, sweet, and authentic. It's the perfect spot to hang out, catch up with friends, or just enjoy a great drink. Definitely worth checking out!

IDYLLIC is kinda hidden. It's one of several shops in this, for lack of a better word, compound, called 8th and Santa Fe, that includes an actual auto shop and a florist. You kinda have to enter through the back which can be accessed via an alley off of Santa Fe. This coffee shop is INCREDIBLY HUGE. Huge enough to have multiple spaces designated for retail, coffee roasting area, several study and lounge areas and 3 cars! Which reminds me, they had on display three of the hubby's absolute fave cars: vintage Porsche, a 3 Series and a Land Cruiser. The girlies were trying to decide which matcha drink to get, staff astutely recommended the sticky mango matcha. It was a hit! The CORTADO was tart and delicious. Parking was difficult to find. This might be because there was some sort of special edition clothing or shoes happening and there was even a line going around the street corner.

Vietnamese Einspänner - strong, bold Vietnamese cold brew topped with whipped condensed milk cream and a coconut butter cookie.

This was such a cool find in Arts District - such a big space with 3 cars inside, a lot of seating/working areas, and even a photo booth (not free though). Very insta worthy! I was excited for the mango sticky rice matcha but unfortunately they had run out by 2 pm. Ended up ordering the Vietnamese Einspänner which was okaaaaay. I wouldn't go out my way to get their coffee based on that drink.

Smooth coffee and vibes served at Idyllic. Coffee was delicious and not acidic barista was supercool. Grab a latte and browse the boutiques in this cars and clothes establishment. It is dog friendly, which gives it an extra visit-ability factor. Makina brand apparel sold here.

It was kind of hard to find this place but once you're inside it's really nice. I loved the interiors and the cars! I ordered matcha with sweetener and Vietnamese einspanner. Einspanner was good. I really enjoyed it. But matcha was lacking in depth especially for its price point! It almost feels like they use sencha instead of matcha. But that's just my perspective. It'll be a really good place to hangout with your friends!

Holy cream top, dessert of my dreams, with a Korean coconut butter cookie on top, sprinkled with Maldonado salt, that I wish I did not know existed. I will dream about eating a whole box of these cookies for the rest of my life Generous amount of cream top, too, and the coffee underneath was nice and strong without being overwhelming for me. Once the cream mixed in a little, it was smooooooth and delightful. Some sort of drizzle on top of the cream top, which I didn't catch but which was soooo good. This will definitely become a craving for me. This space is fun, open and nicely cool on a hot day. The cars are neat, there is other fun stuff to look at. Not actually a ton of places to sit, unless you don't mind getting social w a stranger. Most tables were taken up by one person on a laptop. Nice music, but maybe a little too loud for studying...ymmv. Parking was street or paid lot only, but there were easy shady street spots under the fwy and a whole shaded pay lot ($5 flat, I think?) under the fwy when we came at 3pm on a Wednesday.

First time here and it's a super cool spot ! Loved the concept , with the cars and different vendors . Tried the sticky rice mango matcha, espresso tonic , & cold brew. I got the matcha just to try it because it sounded interesting , and it def was . It was okay and glad I tried it but wouldn't get it again. Espresso tonic was great and cold brew was good :) . Would def stop by again if in the area. Barista was friendly and we were served pretty fast :)

I really enjoyed my experience! The ambiance is a vintage car show room in a warehouse setting where you can sit, relax and enjoy a coffee. They have two genic film photo booths for $11 that comes with 2 prints. I ordered an iced latte with whole milk and vanilla syrup. For an iced latte, the price was $6/7 and size was decent! It was tasty and no complaints. The service was quick and there was plenty of seating on a mid morning Thursday. For parking, there's street parking but also a parking lot that was very convenient. I say, this coffee shop is worth a visit!

The cars, the music, the coffee... what more can you ask for? Such a cool laid back spot, and it's not too stimulating which is a plus if you want to work from here. Unfortunately, they ran out of the cold foam for the Vietnamese einspänner, but my vanilla iced latte didn't disappoint. Service was great, and there was an ample amount of parking.

The unique atmosphere here is what sets this place apart. Lots of seating, old school cars, and vintage clothes are a nice touch. The coffee and matcha drinks here good but not quite up to par with other LA spots I've been too. Cheers.

We visited IDYLLIC for their cars and matcha. I would say their matcha here was ok, it tasted more like milk than actual matcha. The service here was straight to the point, we didn't get the welcoming feel when we ordered. Although, I would definitely give their ambiance 5 stars. The cars here were so cool to look at and take pictures of and it felt very warm and modern.

Possibly one of the coolest coffee shops I've been to in LA. Idyllic Coffee is tucked beneath the I-10 freeway and definitely not the most obvious location, but that's part of its charm. It feels like a true hidden gem you'd never expect to find in this part of the city. While the surrounding area can feel a bit sketchy if you're unfamiliar with it, the coffee shop itself and the parking lot are clean, well-kept, and felt safe enough to park and enjoy your visit without worry. The concept is especially cool...They've transformed what feels like a large garage or industrial unit into a retail space in the front, with the coffee bar tucked toward the back. Along the way, you're greeted by a Porsche, an old-school BMW, and even what looked like a vintage bus in the rear. The entire space feels thoughtfully curated and makes for an amazing photo spot. Drink-wise, I ordered the Vietnamese Eispienner. It was very well made and definitely on the strong side but in the best way. There was a bit more ice than I personally prefer, but overall I really enjoyed it. I gave this place a solid 5 stars, not only for the quality of the coffee but also because the staff was incredibly sweet and welcoming. It's a bit farther south in LA than I usually go, but I would absolutely come back. When we arrived, the lot was almost full, but we snagged the last parking spot. Spaces started opening up closer to closing time. I can only imagine how popular it gets during the daytime. I'd 10/10 recommend this spot to anyone.

One of the most unique places to get a drink. Perfect for taking pics!! There's also two photobooths to take pictures in and a small shop. Overall a must try place for the vibes. Drinks were pretty good as well! 10/10

My new favorite spot for decadent matcha and hojicha drinks!…read more The cream top on the hojicha einspanner was so creamy and thick, and it was also the perfect level of sweetness. The strawberry matcha einspanner was also yummy and had a great presentation The space is pretty small but there are a few seats available. The line was around 20 minutes long on a Saturday afternoon. Like most spots in ktown, the parking lot is limited and you'll likely need to find street parking, but it is definitely worth the hype!

Order: matcha latte, less sweet Price: $7…read moreLuckily I went during a time that surprisingly wasn't busy. The parking lot was full, but there was street parking right around the corner. Service was friendly and staff were helpful when I asked about adding a matcha cream top to the matcha latte. I ordered my matcha less sweet just in case my drink would be too sweet. The drink wasn't sweet at all which I didn't expect, but it wasn't a bad thing. I wouldn't make any adjustments next time. The matcha was astringent, bitter, and umami. I did taste some slight graininess, but nothing too bad. I think they prepare the matcha as a paste then add it to the top of the milk. I've never seen other places prepare their drinks like this before! Overall, it was a solid drink for an decent price.

What an absolute treat in the Japan Town area! Not too far from the center, just a short walk away…read moreis Kokoro No Coffee- a pop-up coffee shop at Aloha Cafe. I stumbled across their Yelp page when I was visiting from out of town and checked the Instagram for their hours on a Saturday afternoon and was happy to see they were open! I am a sucker for pop-up coffee shop/cart concepts so I had to check it out. The pop-up is easy to find, it's outside facing into the parking lot, and they had a cute A-frame sign out by the street side. There was no line, and I ordered and sat down at one of the tables out front. The service was so warm, and I believe the shop is owned and operated by one man on his own! He was an absolute delight to meet, and he brought my matcha latte to me at the table when it was prepared. He suggested I get the cream top on it, and boy was that the perfect recommendation. I would say I'm a little bit of a matcha fiend... I think I got a matcha latte at 3 different places this day... and this one far surpassed the others. I think it was one of the best matcha lattes I have ever drank to-date. It was perfectly green, the matcha quality was phenomenal, both taste and look-wise. The texture was just right, perfectly creamy with barely any grittiness. The cream top only added to the drink, and didn't take away from the matcha flavor at all, which I feel like has happened at other places for me. I'm dreaming of this matcha latte days later, and need to go back to Kokoro No Coffee as soon as I am in town again. This was a spectacular find, and I hope this spot gets all the love it deserves! There is truly nothing like a great business ran by a great person and you can tell there's so much intention put into this concept. Highly, highly recommend and I could not sing praises more!

Got there at 9am and ordered drinks. Friendly service and delicious coffee beans. Great pop up…read morespot to support located at Aloha Cafe in little Tokyo! I could see some outdoor sitting option to wait or enjoy coffee being helpful, yet currently it is only take out with paper and plastic cups available.

It was pretty busy for late afternoon but I took it as a good sign. My sister has been a bunch of times before and really wanted me to try their cream top but I don't drink coffee and they apparently stopped allowing modifications to their drinks so you can no longer add the cream top to the matcha latte. She got the cream top coffee and I got the matcha latte so I could sip the top of hers and drink mine and it was honestly so so good. I have no idea how they make their cream top but it's unlike any other I've tried. The matcha itself was also very smooth and great quality. Both drinks came out to just $13.50 total, which is amazing. Would come again!

I get the Japandi minimalist design aesthetic but a lot of people would love to just sit down and drink their spendy beverage and there's just not enough seats for all the customers. I would suggest adding more benches along the North wall which is an entirely usable space as well as adding another counter along the window with barstools. For this, I have to give the ambiance 2 stars. I'd still come back for the exceptional matcha latte though!

Super modern, aesthetic vibes with tons of tasty, unique drink options and lots of seating to get…read morework done! (If the inside is full sit outside for a nice breeze, the WiFi still works decently well outside!) I got the orange mint matcha which was both rich and refreshing at the same time - the orange slice was fresh and a nice bite at the end! The seasonal menu also looked good, I hope I can return to try it at a later time. Lots of matcha options for those looking. Pretty big food menu too, which I didn't try this time sadly! Parking in the garage is validated for 30 minutes and then they start charging at the regular rate. They do NOT take tap to pay, as I learned the hard way. Parking is my only complaint about this spot! I loved Archives of Us and I'll be back to try more!
