    Cold brew and matcha latte
    Corona S.

    We were in the area and decided to check it out. Pretty cool spot with displays of car if you're into that. They have their own parking lot, which is a plus! We ordered the cold brew and matcha latte. My husband enjoyed his cold brew, but I thought the matte latte was just okay. Tasted mostly like milk and didn't have the umami flavor I usually look for. Service was as expected - cashier was nice and drinks came out quick. They're also dog friendly! I wouldn't come out of my way to visit again but I'd try another drink if in the area.

    A really well curated and spacious space! Never been and I am a fan of cars so I decided to come with my 2 pups to check it out. Mixed working space with boutique items for sale. The coffee shop is a cool vintage painted bus and the coffee was a nice take on Vietnamese coffee. Staff were chill and very nice as well. Really enjoyed walking it like a small gallery.

    Really love the concept of this place--A+ for the atmosphere, the design, and the overall vibe. It feels idyllic and thoughtfully put together, the kind of café you want to sit in for a while and enjoy. That said, both drinks we ordered fell a little short. The matcha and the Vietnamese latte both tasted watered down, so the flavors didn't come through as strongly as we hoped.

    Cool spot for a chill hangout spot. Great for casual hangouts and even better for pictures! Was drawn to this place for its interior design and cars and please to say it lived up to the expectation! Even more so since there is plenty of free parking which is rare for cafes in this area. The entrance to the cafe / parking lot is a bit hidden tho so keep an eye out when you get near! They also had a cute Photo Booth at the time I went. Drinks were just ok, nothing crazy or special. Service was good though! - free lot parking - Lots of seating for groups, duos, and solos - Free Wifi - Bathrooms available - Sells both drinks and prepackaged snacks

    So like a lot of Angelenos, I've been seeing this place countless times, and I wanted to check it out and see what it had to offer! Walking in, I was immediately drawn to the decor and overall design of this place! From the vintage cars to the clothes and other goodies they had on display and for sale, I was already enjoying my experience. After reviewing the menu and comparing different options with the help of the employee, who was super nice and helpful, by the way, I knew I had to get the matcha tonic. I thought it was a pretty good drink, but with the help of extra sweetner, it was even better. I loved the experience, and we even saw the Ebony Beach Club truck here, which was a fun surprise!

    If you're a car enthusiast, you'd certainly love this place as they'd let your sight got pampered by the collection displayed. For me, I love the big open space with industrial theme, just offering slightly different ambiance compared to what's typically offered elsewhere lately. We actually came to pickup our burrito order from a pop-up store on the site, but decided to sit and hang while having our daily caffeine dose. The place was pretty busy with increasing crowd throughout the day, but the line moved pretty quickly. Initially wanted to try their Island Matcha served with Macadamia syrup, but it's fortunately OOS so I ended with just Iced Matcha Latte and their #1 Vietnamese Einspanner. The Matcha wasn't bad, being pretty umami, but not my top favorite either. I would certainly recommend the Vietnamese Einspanner. As a fan of Vietnamese coffee, Idyllic's version did live to my expectation. Should you not fancy your coffee to be more on sweet side, you might request for less sweet, but for me who's a sweet tooth, I enjoyed it a lot. The coffee flavor was strong, but the cream top well-balanced it.

    Top service. Place is insanely cute. Tried the espresso tonic and it checked every box. A tad hot in the summer (warehouse), but perfect when LA is not over 90°

    Maria D.

    Matcha was so bad! It tasted like mazapan and no matcha flavor to it. The ambiance is very chaotic with lots of aesthetic photographers taking pictures. There is no AC so it's super hot in the summer time. Service is no bueno either. My friend said her latte was super good, but wouldn't return because of all the other mentioned cons above.

    ​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.

    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!

    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.

Matcha is rich and bold, there's a good amount so it's not weak. Milk ratio is good so it's not diluted at all. The cream top is nice and thick and doesn't melt into the drink! Matcha Cream Top ($7.75)-- I looooove me a nice and thick cream top and this place does it amazingly. It's thick and perfectly sweetened and doesn't melt with the drink/ice. It stays perfectly thick and still and above the matcha unless you mix it in. The matcha is also really nice and rich. None of the bland or grassy taste. Just genuine good matcha! Chocolate Forest ($7.75)-- Basically same as above but the cream on top tastes like Milo/Ovaltine mixed in. It's a nice and sweet nostalgic taste. Not a hint of bitterness so if you want mocha/dark chocolate this is not the one for you. It's more happy kid hot chocolate vibes. Overall I really like this place for their matcha and would get it again. Pricing is steep but all good matcha goes for around $8 nowadays. Theres a shared parking lot (free if you go in the afternoon) but otherwise street parking.

I went with their Iced Cloud Cinnamon Foam latte, and it did not disappoint. The latte is infused with maple-flavored milk and finished with cinnamon, and the combination is absolutely delightful -- ice cold and bursting with flavor from the first sip to the very last.

Seating is limited, though they do offer a few outdoor tables and a bench inside while you wait for your drinks. The service was great. The employees were friendly, welcoming, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. As for the coffee, it unfortunately wasn't my favorite. I tried the Cloud Latte and found it a bit too thick, lacking the smoothness and flavor I was hoping for. I also tried the Cinnamon Cloud, which was smoother but still tasted fairly bitter to me. Coffee preferences are subjective, of course, but the flavor profile just didn't quite hit the mark for me. That said, I enjoyed everything else about the experience and would be willing to come back and try a few different drinks from the menu. The service and ambiance were definitely highlights of the visit.

A few different YouTubers raved about ROK Coffee & Tea, so I decided to try them out... and it definitely lived up to the recommendations! The MATCHA DUO was EXCEPTIONAL and delicious! It had the perfect amount of sweetness, the perfect creaminess, and the matcha wasn't bitter at all. You can tell they use really good, high-quality matcha because not only could I taste the quality, I could feel it in my energy level too. My sister got the MANGO MATCHA DUO with oat milk and absolutely loved it. My sister's coworker tried the SPARKLING YUZU MATCHA and said it was delicious! She loved that the yuzu flavor wasn't overpowering and said the matcha tasted very high quality. We also got the STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE MATCHA DUO because it was recommended as one of their top picks. We gave it to another one of her coworkers, and she finished it so quick! She said it tasted like a dessert and raved about how delicious and amazing it was! There's seating area in front of the café and as well as inside. The inside is really cute and had a nice atmosphere. The best time to go is early in the morning when open. Customer service was exceptional! Everyone was very kind while at the same time quick and attentive to the line. If there tends to be a line, it moves pretty quickly, and our drinks were ready fast after we ordered. If you get lucky, you can find street parking, but be careful parking on Olympic Blvd. during certain times. Not to worry though because they do have a parking structure, which makes things much easier. Overall, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ROK Coffee & Tea! Everything we tried gets a 10/10 from us! The quality of the matcha, the flavors, the customer service, and the overall experience were all excellent. We will most definitely be back!!!

So we decided to come here for coffee or tea and ended up having a really nice time. I used to come here quite often about four years ago. Back then, I really liked their Einspänner and ordered it several times. But the last time I came, I thought it was way too sweet, so I hadn't been back since. It had actually been a REALLY long time since I last visited. And when I used to come here four years ago, I always came in the morning or around lunchtime. Last night was my first time ever coming here at night. My friend told us that they are open until midnight, so that's why we decided to come here after dinner. I had heard that parking here can be a nightmare because there aren't enough parking spaces and people have a hard time finding a spot. But once again, my parking luck was AMAZING! A car pulled out right in front of me just as I arrived, so I was able to park very easily. Another friend arrived later than I did, and she said she couldn't find a parking spot at all. She drove around for quite a while looking for one before finally finding street parking. Last night, we also had some tiramisu, and since I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine, I decided to have a caffeine-free ade instead of coffee or tea. It was a little sweet for my taste, but it was ok. We sat outside on the outdoor patio and talked and talked and talked. We had such a fun time together! However, it was actually pretty cold outside last night. I remember thinking that it felt surprisingly chilly. But what was even crazier was how FREEZING cold it was inside the café! They had the air conditioning turned up so high that both my friends and I felt like we were going to freeze to death. The restroom is inside, and I also went inside to get some water, so I mentioned to one of the male employees that it was freezing inside. He told me that they didn't feel cold at all because they were working, and that THEY were actually feeling really hot. I went back to our table and told my friends what he had said, and they were like, "WHAT?! We're freezing to death over here!" The parking lot here is actually pretty large, so I was wondering why it was so difficult to find a parking spot. Apparently, at night, the left side is the café, while on the right side there is a bar where people can drink and also play games. There was a huge line of people waiting outside the bar last night, so I'm guessing that's probably why the parking lot gets so crowded and it's hard to find a spot. It was also pretty chilly outside last night because of the low temperature, so one thing I wished they had on the outdoor patio was heaters. That would have made sitting outside much more comfortable on a cold night.

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!

As we pulled up to park, the parking…read moreattendant started placing cones to block off all the spots at the strip mall for valet parking. Luckily it was easy to find street parking nearby. It's a very cute and cozy coffee shop and there was no line when we arrived. The menu had a huge selection of different coffee and tea drinks and also a seasonal menu. The staff were very kind and patient and swiftly prepared the Vienna Latte and Hojicha Latte we ordered. The Vienna Latte is so visually stunning, the layers of white milk, brown espresso, thick white cream, brown cocoa powder and Biscoff layered on top of each other against the dark green logo was so aesthetic. Having a sip before mixing the Vienna latter was incredible, the sweet cream followed with the nutty strong espresso flavour then getting a refreshing splash of milk made a great combo with the Biscoff. I actually liked the drink less after its all mixed because it was too creamy for my taste. (I normally like my coffee black) My hojicha latte was great, but it was also too milky for me. So I went up and asked if it would taste good dirty, with an espresso shot in it, and the barista said yes. I ordered an espresso shot and instead of charging me full price, they only charged me the add on espresso shot for the drink! ($1.50 instead of $4) It was very kind of them since it was absolutely my mistake for not ordering the right drink in the first place. The shot added much depth and flavour to the hojicha latte I was craving. Thanks for the wonderful service. I'm definitely coming back to try their other specialty drinks.

    I stopped by Archives of Us and decided to branch out from my usual order and try a good variety of…read moretheir menu. I ordered the Orange Mint Latte, Matcha Sparkling Lemonade, Einspanner White, Hibiscus Mint Sparkling Lemonade, and of course, a cortado. I also tried their Wagyu Sliders. Every drink was fantastic. What I really enjoyed was how different each one was from the next. It didn't feel like I was ordering variations of the same drink -- each had its own flavor profile, presentation, and unique touch. The Orange Mint Latte was especially interesting, and both sparkling lemonades were refreshing and completely different from what I would normally order. The Einspanner White was another standout. Overall, it was a really fun variety to try at once. The cortado was also very good. It had a nice flavor, smooth texture, and was easy to drink. Their approach is a little different from a traditional cortado presentation because the espresso and milk are fully integrated together rather than finished with latte art. I actually appreciate that style when it's executed well because the focus is more on getting the espresso and milk completely incorporated into one cohesive drink. The presentation across the entire order was also really well done. You can tell there's thought behind how everything is served and put together, which adds to the overall experience. The Wagyu Sliders were great as well. I think the food side of Archives of Us deserves more attention because they have some genuinely good food options to go along with the drinks rather than the food feeling like an afterthought. The space itself is beautifully designed with plenty of seating inside as well as an outdoor seating area. I love the overall atmosphere and aesthetic -- there are certain details about the design, presentation, and experience that remind me of coffee shops I've visited in Japan. The staff made the experience even better. Everyone was extremely friendly, kind, and welcoming. Overall, Archives of Us has a lot going for it. A beautiful space, great service, thoughtful presentation, a strong variety of drinks, solid coffee, and food worth trying as well. It's especially nice to find a coffee shop where I actually want to explore the menu beyond my usual cortado. Definitely the type of place I could see myself coming back to once a week.

They do not serve cold brew but the Einspanner Black does the charm for me. Their matcha is also good as it is not too sweet nor too bitter. The fan favorite is the Wagyu slider. I personally like the egg salad one more since I am not a meat on meat person but the bacon wagyu slider is better. I would say this place is the better version of Community Goods and does not have as long of a wait. Note - kitchen food is not served until 9:30AM so if you're an early riser or trying to get in and out, you will be out of luck. Parking - the main parking Is the underground structure which could be found on North Broadway. Parking can be quite pricey if you're there longer than an hour.

The outdoor seating area was spacious and parking was easy. It was a good place to hang out with a friend. They also have bakery items. It's a nice place if you're looking for coffee and something to eat.

[Parking]: The coffee shop has a free designated parking lot which I actually appreciate since parking is not easy to come by in this part of the neighborhood. [Amenities & atmosphere]: The restroom is located just outside the entrance and no code is needed. The cafe has a modern and sleek interior which makes this spot an ideal 1st date spot. There is a section where the cafe has various albums hanging on the wall. [Menu]: Some of the highlighted items to order here are Mason Latte, Hojicha Latte, and Brisket Burrito. Kitchen items are served from 8:30 AM to 4 PM. *** Steak Breakfast Burrito (24-hour marinated steak, crispy tots, cheddar, pico de gallo, scrambled eggs, avocado, homemade aioli, served with housemade green aji or red salsa - $21.00): I was given a buzzer only to realize it was for the food order and not the drink. The green sauce was very vinegary with a slightly spicy kick. The burrito itself was not bad as it had all the right ingredients. It took about 10 minutes for the kitchen to prepare this order. Mason Latte (Double shot Espresso, whole milk, homemade brown butter caramel, sea salt - iced $7.75): This drink had to be mixed and shaken first. A solid latte and not too sweet. The flavor was a tad light, but not bad. *** While no food or drink in particular made this place stand out among all other amazing coffee shops in Los Angeles, this is still a solid all-around coffee shop in my book. A big thumbs up on good interior vibe and easy parking.
