    That's the rude guy

    Came over around 3:25pm on Saturday and not busy which it was a surprise. Waited to be acknowledge by the workers and no one said anything, not a hi, not even I will be with you in a moment. After couple of minutes short guy with earrings said: what you want, I ordered 2 drinks and for the 3rd one I said any matcha drink I don't care which one is it, he replied saying: which one bro with a higher tone, dude does not smile and seems hating his job, to be at the cash register with that attitude is a no no, maybe have gone just making drinks because the way he approaches is no bueno. Drinks are great but with that attitude I loose my appetite

    First impressions were great! Stopped by this morning for a smoothie and was impressed by the variety of pastries on display. Everything looked fresh and inviting. The smoothie was delicious, service was quick, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!

    Banana Smoothie with Boba

    I love ordering here, they're not stingy with the boba and my boba always comes out sooo delicious! I've been coming here since I was 14 and have been ever since. The boba here is unlike any other!

    I gave it a Second chance. More ICE and not enough product. It becomes water down.
    Ruth M.

    I gave it a second chance Mr. Roy, but staff need to be trained in customer service, a system for pick ups and dine in's need to be put in placed and what you serve is worth the money. Drinks become watered down therefore overall product and customer satisfaction goes out the door. I was left there without being said wait until i asked if my courtesy drink was going to be made.

    Time 9:20

    We've been loyal customers of Boba Time for a long time, but tonight's experience was beyond disappointing. We placed a mobile order at 9:20 PM and didn't receive our drinks until 10:30 PM. That's over an hour of waiting mind you these drinks we ordered ahead of time. When we arrived, we asked for our order and were casually told, "We'll work on it." We asked four more times. At one point, an employee just pulled one drink out of the refrigerator (which had clearly been sitting there). By the time we got everything, what was supposed to be a frappe was basically refrigerator milk. Honestly, if I wanted plain milk, I would've stayed home and poured it myself. The entire experience was frustrating, disrespectful of our time, and far below the standard we're used to here. After being handed what was practically milk, we asked about the rest of the order and we were ignored. We kept waiting no updates, no urgency. Eventually, we realized they had completely forgotten to make the rest of our order. Only then did they finally start making the other drinks. We've always supported Boba Time, but this kind of service makes us think twice about coming back.

    I was headed to dinner at the fabulous Holbox, but driving there from Hollywood at rush hour is…read morenever a good idea. So I looked for a coffee spot closer to the restaurant at which I could do some work. Alibi Coffee is only 10-15 minutes from the restaurant, which made it a good candidate--and off I went. It sits on the corner of Washington and Raymond Avenue. While there's one-hour parking on Washington, Raymond seems to offer unlimited parking (other than street cleaning days)--the friendly, helpful barista directed me over there. Inside, it's a tranquil, clean and comfortable environment that mixes contemporary touches with brick industrial vibes. I'm in my cream top era, so I decided to get their Trademark Cream Top Latte, which uses cold brew and house made cream with a hint of brown sugar. The drink was smooth and not too sweet and, all in all, extremely enjoyable. Next time, I might try the Salted Caramel Cream Top Latte. I was warned it was a bit sweeter, but I'd like to see for myself. Wi-Fi seems solid, and there are plenty of outlets (yay!), so this was a great work spot. I'd definitely return anytime I needed to be in this area.

I haven't been inside, so I can't comment on…read moreservice, etc. Honeycomb Sugar Latte: I like the idea that you can add the amount of honey crumble into the drink based on your preference. I ended up adding it all. Salted Caramel Latte: I tried this drink the second time around, and I love it. It will be my go-to drink from now on at Alibi Coffee. It's sweet and creamy.

[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.

Any of their cream tops are honestly perfection and probably what makes the drink for me. The matcha itself is rich, creamy, and really smooth. I wouldn't necessarily say it's super strong, but it's definitely not weak either. It doesn't have as much of that bitter/earthy matcha taste. The drinks do lean on the sweeter side, which is kind of a dilemma for me because the cream is SO good, but it also takes away from the matcha a little. I love the cream and wouldn't want less of it, but I do wish the matcha came through a bit more. Additionally, the cup is pretty small And getting matcha here is honestly a whole DEDICATED JOURNEY. Parking, waiting in line, waiting for your drink... you have to really want that matcha. But I would 100% come back. Despite the journey and the small cup, Rōk is still easily one of my favorite matcha spots in LA.
