    Today was a very bad experience. The cashier was great but they messed our orders up really bad, even tho the order was perfect on the ticket. I order a strawberry cloud espresso and they made it with matcha. Then when I told the guy what I order it with espresso and was trying to convince me to just get the matcha one they made, even after I told him I hate matcha. He was pushy, I had to reintegrate that is not what I order and is not what is on the ticket. Then it took forever to get the drink and they also got my friend's drink wrong. Hot instead of iced, but he didn't say anything cause he didn't want to wait another eternity for it. I don't understand how they messed up this horrible. Specially in a 100 degree weather. Passing on this place, trendy but not worthy

    This is the place for pictures and very sweet drinks! The coffee itself is great but I wish more coffee shops offered sugar free alternatives. It's funny because there's so many milk alternatives but no other dietary restrictions. Service was à la good as can be considering it was extremely crowded and loud. Kids had a blast and that's all that matters.

    I got the Matcha Tiramisu Latte from here and it was pretty good! What I liked the most was the cream top which was soft and sweet. The matcha itself was also pretty good. Good matcha volume and the blend used wasn't dry. I also enjoyed the little lady finger on top which was a nice little snack. Overall, solid matcha. I came here on my birthday since you can get a free drink! You need to download the app and set your birthdate to redeem. This is only redeemable on your actual birthday and you are given an $8 credit and can only choose from their specialty drinks. The cafe itself is also pretty and clean with nice indoor and outdoor seating. I also enjoyed witnessing the workplace culture. The manager seemed to be lively and enthusiastic and introduced new recruits happily. It felt like a positive and uplifting atmosphere.

    La La Land is more than just an Instagram coffee shop. The space is bright, clean, and has a simple vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The merch is actually nice too, especially the mugs and hats. We tried the Matcha Cloud and the Spanish Latte, both topped with a mini croissant. They looked great and tasted even better. The matcha was smooth and not overly sweet, while the Spanish Latte had a rich coffee flavor without being too heavy. Be prepared for a long line, especially during peak hours, but it moved faster than expected. The staff stayed friendly and efficient even with the crowd. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out. I'd happily come back.

    I customer service is nice and pleasant and helps us out what to have for pastries. Over all good food and services, love the place.

    I finally gave in to the hype. When we walked by, the line was huge--probably around 3:30 or 4:00 in the afternoon. We actually debated whether waiting that long for coffee was worth it, but since La La Land Kind Cafe is all over social media, we figured we had to experience it at least once. While waiting, I did what I always do... I bought things I definitely didn't need. I ended up leaving with a mug, an Espresso Martini candle, a Banana Cloud latte, and the Paris Saint-Germain drink. By the time I checked out, I'd spent about $83. The café itself is beautiful. It's bright, clean, stylish, and exactly what you'd expect from a place that's become so popular online. The staff was also friendly. Unfortunately, this is where the experience lost a couple of stars. I ordered the Paris Saint-Germain with espresso, but it came with ceremonial matcha instead. My sister ordered the Banana Cloud with coffee, and hers also came with matcha. Out of the three drinks our group ordered, two were made incorrectly. Mistakes happen, but getting two out of three drinks wrong is disappointing, especially after waiting in such a long line. The drinks themselves were good. I honestly have no complaints about the quality. But are they worth waiting 30 minutes in line, plus another 10 minutes for your order? For me... not really. I understand why people want to visit. If you're visiting Los Angeles or spending the day at The Grove, I'd still recommend stopping by once. The café is beautiful, the branding is fun, and it's one of those places that's part of the experience. Grab your coffee, take a few pictures, enjoy the atmosphere, and you'll probably have a good time. But as someone who lives in Los Angeles, I don't see myself waiting in that line again. Once was enough. (3/5) -- Great concept, beautiful café, friendly service, but the long wait and multiple order mistakes kept the experience from living up to the hype.

    Finally got around to trying LaLa Land and it did not disappoint. I visited on a Monday around 10am and the line moved pretty quickly. I ordered the banana cloud latte and it was soooo tasty! You could definitely taste the banana flavor. The strawberry cloud latte was also really good and had a hint of strawberry flavor. The heart shaped straws were such a cute touch and went perfectly with the aesthetic of the place. After ordering, we went outside to wait for our drinks and only waited about 10 minutes. When the barista was handing out orders, she would say "love you" to the customers, which I thought was such a cute little detail. Everyone was super friendly and nice. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of their matcha drinks!

    Drinks are rich in taste and consistency, not watered down. Service was fast and workers are nice despite the crowd and long line. Theres plenty of seats outside and inside but you will be surrounded by hoards of people. This place is not bad and would recommend to try at least once if the line isn't too long.

    Wendy X.

    Friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere, but I think the drinks are overhyped. The flavors are good, but the texture feels watered down, so they don't have the rich, satisfying consistency I was expecting. Overall, it wasn't bad, but I'd rather make the drive to Stagger or One Escape in K-Town for drinks that have both better flavor and texture.

    Finally got to check out Lalaland at The Grove. This spot is known for long lines, so I went on a Friday around 6pm. From ordering to getting my drink took about 20 minutes, which wasn't too bad. I ordered a large Matcha Squared Latte with less sweetness and oat milk (extra charge). I noticed they still added a couple pumps of syrup, but overall the drink wasn't too sweet and had a nice creamy top. The matcha itself was decent, but not as smooth as some of the top tier spots. I'm guessing it's because they prep things ahead instead of whisking each drink fresh. Overall it was good, but I wouldn't wait more than 20 minutes for it. If anything, I'd just order online next time to skip the line.

    Stopped by after grabbing lunch from the Farmer's Market across the street to have a sweet treat on the way home. A good latte always cushions the blow of LA Traffic ya know? It was crowded and the line ran out the door but it moved at a steady pace and after 10min we placed our orders. It took maybe another 10min till we got our drinks. The menu is fairly simple and their most popular drinks are their Matchas! I'm personally not a fan of banana (it's a texture thing), but they claim the Banana Matcha is one of their top sellers! The Strawberry Chai really caught my interest and I enjoyed the flavor combination of the sweet strawberry with the warm chai notes! Only bummer was their French Toast Latte. We were expecting a lot more flavor, but it was just a watery mess. Overall, it was fun to see what all the hype was about, but at $8 starting for a small cup, I'm just not sure it was worth it.

    Stopped by the grove and saw that La La land was there, I've seen it all over my TikTok so I was like let me give this a try! The line kinda scared me because it was a bit long buttttt it was moving by fast and the wait wasn't that long either! I got a French toast matcha latte and I'm not sure if they make it with ceremonial but it was good! Matcha wasn't that strong but it was still good. My bf got a banana coffee latte and that was good as well- it tasted like artificial banana haha. Ambience and the inside was clean and cute

We waited in line for about 45 minutes to an hour, only to find out that they ran out of sliders. We were incredibly disappointed. I wish they could have put up a sign of some sort to let everyone know they ran out. However, the place itself was nice, and I did end up getting a latte. I loved the latte, so that made up for the missing sliders to some degree. Although the latte was good, I don't see myself coming back due to the long wait and them being prone to running out of goods.

Do be aware that the cup is on the smaller side than most places. Unfortunately did not get to try the breakfast sliders everyone has talked about so I will be back to try those another time. The overall cafe is pretty small but it's a got a cool aesthetic. Has a nice seating area around the outside with shade. Do expect to wait in line and parking can be a challenge as most spots in the area are usually taken as it's street parking. Went on a Saturday afternoon and waited about 25 minutes. I don't think I would wait anymore than that for this place but it's worth checking out. The staff are very kind too.

It has a cozy, tucked-away feel with plenty of seating both inside and outside, making it a great place to relax with a coffee. We ordered a mocha and a latte, and both were solid.

We spent some time enjoying the outdoor seating and it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the visit.

This place is so cute that I've driven by it a million times thinking it was a fancy restaurant - not a cute hidden gem coffee shop! This particular shop is incredibly popular and always full but if you're lucky you'll get a seat in their adorable little outdoor area. They have some belly up counter style seats along the sidewalk and also a side garden with a few tables & chairs, plus some cute cushions on the steps for ground seating. Once again, I'm obsessed with the aesthetics at a Verve location. They really seem to focus on rustic wood vibes inside and incorporating nature in a fun way. I always love their flash nitro cold brew here. It's so smooth and refreshing! I also tried their matcha and loved it. Plus their chocolate chip sea salt cookie was money. I'm sure I'll be back to Verve in WeHo! Really enjoyed it yesterday.

You place your order at the register, then once you have a seat, they will call your name and you go and pick up your order. My food and beverage came out quick. Milton was another employee that was working with Gaby. He waa calling out our names for us to go and pick them up. Café was packed on a Saturday afternoon. A lot of young kids between the ages of 15 to 25. And then the baby boomers take a step forward..like myself. Well, something in between. They have extensive menu options from Sandwiches, Salads, Pastas of too many kinds, Bagels, some other appetizers that's on the menu ; categorized as Spotlight. Variety of Baked goods, and are known for their signature Egg Sandwich on Croissant. They also have many types of hot and cold beverages from Matcha, Mocha, Espresso,Hot Chocolate, Americano, Coffee, Latte, Tea & more. There were couple of things that I wanted to try like Eggs Benedict and Omelette, but they didn't have it. It's fine, when you are starving, you will settle for anything. So I went ahead and placed my order with Gaby. Got their famous Egg Sandwich on plain Croissant with: scrambled egg, tomato, lettuce, easy Mayo, and Avocado for $2.00 more. The Egg Sandwich was $16.00. I also got their IL TACCHINO-- (turkey sandwich), which came with roasted turkey with provolone cheese, crispy iceberg lettuce, sliced heirloom tomatoes, avocado and mayo. I opted for light pesto paste for the mayo. On a fresh Baguette (not toasted). If I wanted the bread to be toasted, I am sure they wouldn't have objected to it. ($18.00). My sandwich came with either chips or salad, I opted for salad with light Vinaigrette dressing. It was perfectly balanced. Oil, vinegar & wine. For a drink, I got their 24oz. Strawberry Mocha Iced decaf Latte, with an extra cup of ice. ($8.50). I do have to say that the Mocha dominated more than the Strawberry. It was totally fine with me, since I hadn't had a Mocha drink in a very long time. It was SUPER REFRESHING! Portions were plenty. Prices were fair, Food and my beverage was above and beyond fresh, flavorful and DELICIOUS!! No parking, only street and metered , one gender neutral restroom and a cute, small, lovely patio seating adjacent to the Café. Great music was playing overhead. 10/10. Will highly recommend, and can't wait to go back..very soon! Thank you all..
