    I'm writing this review hoping you guys bring the matcha back to how it used to be! I've been going to Malou for about a year and a half, and I always used to order the Okinawa Cold Foam Matcha. Honestly, in my opinion, your matcha was #1 in LA! But for the past 2 months, the matcha and the foam have tasted much lighter. The flavor has definitely changed, and I also feel like the cup got a little bigger. Even though it's $8.50, I would honestly rather have a smaller cup with amazing flavor than a bigger cup that doesn't taste as good. I'm going to post an old photo and a recent photo so you can see the difference in both the color of the matcha and the size of the cup. Please bring the matcha back to how it used to be and don't change the quality of your ingredients! It used to be SO good. We miss the old Okinawa Cold Foam Matcha! Please bring it back!

    Nice coffee on the patio
    James S.

    Great place to sit on the patio, enjoy some Brentwood breeze, and settle in with a cute and just deep-enough menu to keep you excited. I found a table pretty easily, and ordered from there via QR code. Ngl, the tables can be a little uncomfortable because of the angular metal nature of them. You can nestle in there pretty easily, but one wrong move, and ouch! I really enjoyed the Breakfast Burrito. Definitely original and inspired: Scrambled Egg, Avocado, Pinto Beans, Sour Cream, Pico De Gallo, Cheddar Cheese, Tater Tots & Jalapeno Paste on a Flour Tortilla. A handful of Tater Tots arrive with as well as Cilantro sauce on the side. This burrito is pretty peppy -- and even intense in flavor. I liked it a lot, but actually had to take a break between halves as a result. My companion had the Golden Morning Brioche (Scrambled Egg, Avocado, Caramelized Onion, Arugula, Cheddar Cheese & Chipotle Sauce on a Brioche Bun) and enjoyed that. She also really enjoyed her drink, the Okinawa Cold Foam. I liked my coffee, and later, an espresso over ice. Fun vibe, and lots of other choices, including their bakery goods. Definitely recommend. Street parking, but be careful -- it's pretty tight on Barrington.

    Fried chicken sandwich
    Amber C.

    At first I was mad at myself for forking up $19 on a fried chicken sando ‍. How did we get here, la? Surprisingly though, it was a very special sandwich. It had some really great well balanced sauces throughout, I actually wanted more of the sauce, but was afraid to ask. It came with a salad that had some pickled onions, and again, a really great refreshing well thought out dressing. I can't really complain. Actually yes I can, the flies!!! As soon as I took the sandwich out the huge flies would not leave it alone. Be aware. I found free street parking pretty easy on a side street. I thought I'd come here to read but they are kinda blasting the music so maybe it's not the best environment for that. Too much noise. I did not like the butterscotch latte. It was kind of weak, in my opinion. Thank goodness they let me exchange it for the Okinawa cold foam matcha drink, which was amazing. I think it's unique and cool to have a cold foam Okinawa flavor. They actually don't sweeten the matcha at all under the cold foam, so that was interesting. I might have to add sugar to it. Overall, everything was good, I just wouldn't order espresso lattes here.

    Had this coffee shop on my list for a while, and I finally got a chance to check it out! The space is cute, with a small patio and a few sidewalk tables for enjoying your drinks outside. I ordered one of their signature drinks, the Okinawa Cold Foam, which is a matcha latte topped with an Okinawa brown sugar cream foam. I got mine with light foam to cut down on the sweetness a bit. The foam was delicious, super unique, and paired well with the matcha. However, the matcha itself was just okay and was a little too milky for my taste. Parking: street and neighborhood parking.

    We got so lucky with parking!!! Someone left right when we came, and we could park right in front of the cafe on the street. Street parking is hard hard to find. :-( Came on a Saturday around 10:30 AM and it was PACKED, but the line moved surprisingly fast and we only waited around 10 minutes. We got the Matcha Maple Top and Okinawa Cold Foam Matcha. I was honestly really disappointed because I had heard great reviews!! The matcha was way too milky for my liking and lacked that strong matcha flavor I usually look for.... The Maple Top especially barely tasted like matcha at all. Matcha flavor got lost from the maple... The Okinawa Cold Foam was slightly better, but still not strong enough. If you like sweeter, milkier matchas this might be your thing, but I personally prefer a stronger matcha-forward drink. For around $8 a matcha, I expected a lot more. Unfortunately I don't think I'd come back.

    Pastry
    Hanh H.

    I decided to try Malou because it was within walking distance of my friend's apartment and appeared to have enough seating for me to get some work done. Ordering was quick, and I didn't have to wait. I ordered a drip coffee and a pastry (I can't remember the name). Unfortunately, the coffee wasn't to my taste. It had a noticeably sour flavor, whereas I prefer coffee with a richer, roasted bean aroma and taste. The pastry, however, was excellent--fresh, flaky, and definitely the highlight of my visit. I initially found a table on the sidewalk, but the Wi-Fi signal was very weak there. I then moved inside and found a table with bench seating. While the space looked inviting, the seating wasn't very comfortable for working on a laptop for an extended period. Overall, the pastry was enjoyable, but the coffee and workspace setup didn't quite meet my expectations.

    Busy little coffee shop, however, service is pretty quick and very friendly. The coffee was delicious! Parking is a little hectic.

    Espresso cold foam coffee
    Marjan R.

    This was my first time trying their breakfast! I had tried their coffee before and really loved it, so I was excited to come back. This time, I ordered the egg sandwich, and honestly, it was the best egg sandwich I've ever had! The portion was huge compared to other places, and everything was absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed both the sandwich and the coffee.

    carrot latte
    Bethany L.

    average price in LA, carrot cake latte was good. a 15-20 min wait on a sunday morning. service wasn't particularly friendly but that's how it is with LA coffee shops! love that they have unique/seasonal flavors

    matcha colada

    Got to this place around 9:30am today and it was still pretty empty I suppose since it was early in the morning and a weekday, so luckily I didn't have to wait in a line. I got the matcha colada and it was super good and tastes literally like one they nailed it with that drink. The super nice man who attended me, greeted me and ended up giving me a free pastry on the house. Would definitely come again and they even have outside seating if you are a student and want to catch up on some work.

    Cool, fun spot! Two of us ordered: iced americano $4.85 iced matcha latte $7.95 ($1 upcharge for oatmilk) Parked in the back. Cool space with outdoor seating.

    Nijole T.

    The coffee and Matcha here is phenomenal! I have been so obsessed with their Brazilian Matcha lemonade that I went there every day for the last week they were serving it! I would love for them to bring it back as a permanent menu addition and I would come here all the time! Service is wonderful, they are so friendly and hard-working here. They have a bit of outside seating and parking is either metered or residential. Prices are fair, considering the quality they serve, great option if you are looking for coffee or Matcha in the area, highly recommended!

    I ordered the butterscotch latte and it was just ok. The person who was taking my order was very nice and helpful. It was my first time here and I was between two. Maybe, I didn't choose wisely. There were a bunch of people here on a Sunday afternoon. There was one party before me ordering and a few minutes later, a line formed very quickly behind me. I found parking on the street and walked, but I did have to circle once or twice.

I think I was expecting a NYC style service counter where you get yelled at if you don't know exactly what you want, but the staff was so nice and helpful. My wife and I split the whole turkey sub with mild peppers and American cheese, no pickles. The bread was great--a little on the crusty side, but otherwise very flavorful. All of the veggies and meat were very fresh, and the experience was cool over all. You grab a ticket at the counter, wait for them to call your number, then you order and step back while they make yours and a handful of others at the same time. I grabbed some chips and drinks while I waited, which only took 5 minutes or so, then paid at the front (cash or debit only) and enjoyed our lunch at one of the outdoor tables. I'll definitely be back to try the meatball sub, which I eyed somebody else eating and immediately wanted a taste. I'll probably grab a turkey sub, too, while I'm at it.

What I tasted was extremely disappointing. One of the things I tried was honestly so bad that I spit it out. The food struck me as mediocre at best, especially considering the prices, and calling it Persian food feels like a pretty loose interpretation of Persian cuisine. The service didn't help either. My experience with the employees was rude and unwelcoming, which made an already disappointing experience even worse. What really gets me is how much effort seems to go into marketing and promoting this place. If even 10% of that energy went into improving the food, value, and customer service, I think the experience would be very different. Los Angeles has way too much genuinely good Persian food to justify paying these prices for food I personally found this mediocre. I wanted to understand what all the promotion was about, but after actually trying it, I definitely don't.

Their mozzarella sandwich is a masterpiece with Fresh Ovoline Mozzarella, Avocado, Alfalfa Sprouts, Pickled Red Onion and a delicious Za'atar Spread. What makes it stand out as one of the best sandwiches in LA is the bread. They make their own focaccia several times a day and it is divine. Probably the only other place that can dare to match their creations is La Zucca at the Beverly Hills Cheese Store. Some of our other favorites is the tuna sandwich. Service is always on point and the sandwich travels well for consuming it at home. There isn't a ton of space to sit, but there is some counter style seating. Tip: Their menu is limited by choice. Check their Daily specials (Sandwich of the Day) for inspiration. They have 3 kids sandwiches (all are meat based). Tip: The biggest challenge is parking, sometimes metered parking is available. Otherwise, park for free in neighborhood streets away from Montana. It's a pleasant walk.
