    I had a nice experience at this LGBTQ+ owned coffee shop in the Hollywood area! For drinks, I asked the barista for a recommendation and they recommended me the brown sugar toffee flavored iced coffee which I got with oat milk and it was good! I loved the coffee flavor and the drink was perfectly sweetened. The ice ratio was also perfect, not too icy nor too ice less. For food, I got their breakfast burrito with the added beef and it was decent. The burrito came hot, so I had to wait a bit to cool. The components were all good and paired well with the salsa. It was giving cafeteria vibes but not bad. The interior was also colorful, comfy, and nice. I came to work for a couple hours and it was good since there was wifi and outlets. For parking, there's a parking garage underground that offers free validation for 1 hour. Overall, a good experience here and I would come back!

    Parking: street Parking Pricing: a bit higher. Breakfast burrito was 12buckw. Coffee americano was around 6. Ambience: chill and cold with AC. Hygiene: I come in the morning so bathroom was pretty clean. Clients who used plates return to place. Parking: paid meter Pokego: one gym within reach and I think 1 pokestop.

    Our fam of five came here for Sunday brunch and absolutely loved the vibe, food and coffee. My three teenagers let me read a children's book to them about Billy Porter. Loved celebrating LGBTQ folks and this social enterprise.

    I love this place! It's part of the LA LGBT Center on Santa Monica Blvd. Read more about it here on Yelp "from the business". The inside is so pretty and there's a lot of seating! My co-worker and I came for the coffee but we decided to have a shared breakkie so their breakfast sandwhich, burrito, and berry pastry were delicious! Everyone is welcoming and nice. Clean restroom, good food/drinks and good vibes! I'll be back.

    I love the LGBT Center and this inviting coffee shop on their campus (open to all) is a great place to stop in for a cup or to sit for a while. I had a client meeting there and found the seating options decent. It's not a large space but there are plenty of different table options, from high tops to communal tables to some smaller tables. Staff was exceptionally friendly. It's just a completely different vibe here and you get that right away. People seem glad to be here and glad to be working here... and it shows. There are food options including lunch sandwiches and pretty pastries and muffins for the morning. This is all the way around a way better way to do your coffee hangout.

    Did NOT get a photo of the Cuban Sandwich before eating but it was ssooo good.

    Breakfast burrito sooo good! Cuban sandwich sooo good. Espresso cardamom drink sooo good. Matcha, kind of mid. Very good service from the staff and generally nice vibes all around. Lots of seating and some coffee table books to peruse. We will probably go back for the good vibes and the food.

    I wish I had discovered this place earlier on my trip to Los Angeles! The coffee was piping, hot and delicious and we ordered some breakfast sandwiches that were huge and lasted us several hours, they were delicious to nibble on. The service was really good, and the barista made sure to read the order back to me to make sure everything was correct. I am sugar-free and they made certain that I had my sugar-free option respected, some places don't.

    breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwhich, turkey grilled sandwhich

    such a cute cafe! ordered a turkey grilled cheese - was very yummy and filling, but slightly pricey for the quality. I would have liked the cheese to be more melted and gooey. I also wished there was some sauce in the sandwich

Lots of interesting choices. The drinks were well balanced and not overly sweet, so you could actually taste the coffee instead of having it covered up by syrups or other flavors.

Loved the honey lavender matcha and peanut coffee. The drinks were beautifully presented too, so they looked just as good as they tasted. Overall, a really enjoyable coffee experience and definitely a place I'd come back to try more drinks.

And they are so sweet and do not rush anyone, you can stay here as long as you want. My friends and I WFH so we decided to Work From MemoryLook (WFML) one day together. I'm glad we did! Great pastries in the morning, i had the cremme brûlée donut which had tons of filling, and the pea foam matcha latte which was fantastic. And I had an EXCELLENT chicken Chipotle wrap at lunch that was recommended to me by the gentleman working at memory look. I'm not certain where these wraps are made. Another gentleman would bring them from the building in the same complex. I LOVED my wrap. They have a ton of seating outside too but there aren't any outlets out there so it's harder to WFH out there unless you're fully charged. But was great for separate meetings we all had to attend. The photobooth was fun but we were so thrown off by it taking 8 photos, we had no idea how many poses we would have to come up with hahaha. I would definitely come back here anytime!

Parking is also pretty convenient with a good amount of spaces available. When I visited, though, there weren't many desserts on display. For drinks, they don't offer a double matcha option, but you can order a matcha latte with Einspänner cream instead. The drink itself was good, although I found the prices a little higher compared to other matcha spots I've tried. Service was on the slower side, and it took a while for the drinks to come out. The staff were okay, but not particularly friendly. (+) Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, convenient parking (-) Pricier than other matcha spots, slower drink preparation, and no double matcha option

My son also recommended it, even though he had never actually tried their drinks. LOL. It was one of his friend's favorite cafes so I was really looking forward to going. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the right time to stop by until toward the end of our trip. I'm so glad we finally did though because I'm now in love! Rok instantly became one of my favorite cafes in LA. If I had tried their drinks at the beginning of our trip, I honestly would have gone back every day until we left! They have so many interesting drink combinations. This time, I tried the Earl Grey Matcha Duo. I love both Earl Grey and matcha but I wasn't quite sure how well they would pair together until I took my first sip. OMG, it was sooooo good!!! The balance between the Earl Grey flavor and the matcha was perfect. No wonder they've been recognized as one of the best places for matcha in the U.S. They also use Uji matcha which made me even more excited to try it. Our first visit to Rok was only two days before we left LA and I liked it so much that I had to have it one more time before we went home. On the morning of our flight, we got up a little earlier just so we could stop by and get their drinks before heading to the airport! I got the Earl Grey Matcha Duo again while my husband and son both tried the Lotus Einspanner. My son has never been a coffee drinker so I was surprised that he wanted to try one. I honestly expected him not to finish it but he LOVED it! He did tell us later that the caffeine really got to him, though. LOL. There really isn't a cafe in my area that does matcha drinks well so I was especially happy that I got to enjoy such good matcha during this trip. Rok has definitely become one of my must-go cafes in LA and we'll absolutely be back the next time we visit!
