There's metered street parking before the plaza and free street parking further out if you're lucky + willing to walk! Service was super quick and there's a moderate amount of indoor seating. Double matcha 5/5, my friend got this and we both loved it, creamy but not too creamy to dilute the matcha, not too strong of a matcha but not weak at all, the goldilocks of a double matcha! pumpkin matcha 5/5, sleeper hit??? I got this so we could try smth new and I was sooooo impressed by how they got the ratio of pumpkin : matcha perfect where they both complimented each other without overpowering one another

There's definitely better spots to go to in ktown if you want coffee. Given that coffee is the name I'm going to have to go with 3/5. But do not let this deter you from going-- it's still a solid place. Super busy, lots of LA and Ktown transplants. Never a spot to sit at the tables (maybe outside). Also one of the places with horrible parking. Valet only all day and the street parking is non existent, good luck!

There was only one person in line when we arrived and there were a few open tables inside. It's chill vibes, people were working on their laptops, reading, or hanging out with friends.

The service was friendly and I can't wait to visit again!

It always seems to be packed, though, so they could definitely use a bigger space. Service was super friendly and fast. I tried the Einspänner, which was delicious on the first sip with a thick, creamy foam that felt really indulgent. It did leave a somewhat unusual aftertaste, though, and I couldn't quite tell if it was coming from the coffee itself or something in the cream mixture. Overall, a cool, polished coffee spot with great service and a lively atmosphere.

Came around 11:30am on a Saturday and lucked out with an outdoor table. Seating is pretty limited since it's a small café, so timing helps. Cold brew was smooth and rich.

Baristas were super friendly, which always makes a difference.

I will say it is quite sweet, even at less sweet, and I would stick to the double matcha since I found the regular iced matcha latte (less sweet) to be a little disappointing. The workers are sweet and helpful - the first time I visited, I came just a few minutes before closing, but the worker took her time to explain things to me rather than rushing me. That has left a lasting positive impression on me. The interior is cozy and oftentimes there are people working inside, but I haven't given it a try myself. I can say that it's a nice place to hang around as you're finishing your drink. If you're thinking about giving Dumbstruck a try, I highly recommend it!

When we came, they weren't busy at all. The birthday boy just got a black coffee, our other friend got some latte and I got my wife a passion fruit mango tea. The customer service here was great and they made our drink quick. We sat inside and just talk for a bit. There only one bathroom here so be aware of that. Overall we had a great experience here.

Came by to try something a little different and ended up going with their pistachio frappe. I was…read morereally looking forward to that nutty, slightly earthy pistachio flavor. I even asked if they could adjust it (they added pistachio powder), but it still leaned more like a mocha to me. It also wasn't that light green color I usually associate with pistachio drinks, so it caught me a little off guard. Overall, it ended up being on the sweeter side. That said, the staff were genuinely kind and the space feels really inviting--somewhere you can actually sit and stay for a bit. There's plenty of seating, which I appreciate. Only downside is parking can be a little tough. Only meter parking but it's great for locals I'd still come back and look forward to trying other menu items like their horchata frappe and some of the bakery goods.

The valet staff were really nice about it. The café has a cool industrial vibe with exposed ceilings, concrete floors, warm lighting, and some unique vintage touches. It definitely has more character than your typical modern coffee shop. They also have a good selection of pastries, cookies, and other baked goods. I ordered an Espresso Tonic and an Iced Americano. The Espresso Tonic was really refreshing and had a nice citrusy kick. I enjoyed the flavor, but the portion was surprisingly small, which was a little disappointing. The staff inside were friendly and nice as well. Overall, I liked the coffee, service, and atmosphere. I'd definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

There is outdoor seating and a couple tables indoors too. The storefront itself is pretty small though. I ordered the Yuzu Matcha tonic with less sweetness and it was really good! It's a super refreshing drink, with the green tea and citrus elements coming out on top of the sparkling sweetness. Honestly, one of the best matcha drinks I've had overall! The yuzu bits are incorporated in the drink, adding a light sweet and bitter taste. Service was super friendly and accommodating. Reasonable prices and this café stands out because of its free parking for sure. There are lots of cute shops lining the street that Picnic Coffee is located on, so check those out too! Overall, definitely a recommended place.

It's oh so good and decadent The Cortadito is bold, smooth, and just sweet enough like those you find in Little Havana. Both the dessert and coffee came to about $8.50 which isn't a bad deal at all for their sizes My only minor complaint is the service. There was one customer ahead of me who ordered a lot of pastries. One cashier was getting those items and the cook asked if I wanted "food" or just sweets. When I said just the sweets he said I had to wait. I don't see why he couldn't have just grabbed my items? It was about a 10-15 minute wait with all that going on. Then I asked for a cafe Cubano and sorry but I had no clue what the cashier said and only understood "cortadito" so that's what I was given. When she asked if I wanted for here or to go, I asked for here and she packed my items to go. I'm not sure if it's a language barrier or listening issue so I'm glad it was a major thing to inconvenience my experience

They also have a Long Black on their menu, which I prefer to an Americano since the crema and flavor is more prominent. The inside seating isn't super comfortable but there are additional tables outside in front of their retail store, which is ideal on a nice day. Baristas are friendly and knowledgeable. There are some pastries for sale but no real substantial savory food items. Nonetheless, it's a go-to for me.
