Okay, so I really wanted to like this coffee spot. However, I felt it was highly overrated. I came on A Sunday afternoon, the line was not as long as usual, so I decided to try it out. As someone who was born and raised in LA and currently lives on the Westside, I have tried my fair share of coffee shops from the SFV to the city. Our family told us we must try this place, and recommended the iced breve machiato and the mocha latte. We decided to grab some espresso beans for the house, which were $36.... for coffee beans! The Iced Breve Macchiato w/ Whole Milk: 2.5/5 The Mocha w/ Oat: 3/5 The espresso beans were light, so not my favorite. I definitely like more of a dark roast flavor. I want to try it again and give it a second chance. read more

This coffee shop here in Beverly Hills, called MARU ESPRESSO BAR is always packed, there's no day that I've passed here that there is no long line. I got intrigued, what's the Hype? I went inside and it's a very small area, so that could be the reason why there's always a long line, but maybe not 'coz it's still like a never ending line here every time we pass by. I lined up and tried their SIGNATURE COFFEE the CREAM TOP. Got my drink quickly since they have many employees making the drinks. So I finally tried it and the hype is real, I can taste the good quality of their coffee here. Parking is tough here, it's one of the busiest areas of Beverly Hills since there are plenty of restaurants nearby. But they do have a couple of Parking structures around, parking that offers valet parking, but mostly Street parking. read more

This location is a cute little grab-and-go spot right in front of the Maybourne. It was my first time visiting, and I had a great experience. The barista at the register was incredibly friendly and took the time to walk me through the menu and offer drink recommendations. I ended up trying the Cream Top -- a bold iced coffee topped with a sweet cream foam inspired by an Einspänner. A great spot for a coffee on the go with excellent service. read more

Maybe I didn't order the right drink, but I thought my drink was ok. I got the cream top and the cream top is definitely delicious, but once the cream top is not there, that's when the drink starts to downfall. Friendly service. There was a line but to be honest if there wasn't a line, I probably wouldn't have found it so quickly. This place is small. The line moved fast. It was about twenty minutes in total - walking there (short distance), standing in line, ordering, getting the drinks and walking back to the car. Finding a parking spot was difficult, but I'm glad I finally got to try this place. read more

Maru Coffee Bar is a solid stop if you're in the area and want something strong and well-made. Street parking was surprisingly easy, and even though it was a bit busy, the wait wasn't long at all. The cashier wasn't the friendliest, but the baristas definitely made up for it--they clearly know what they're doing. The cream top was so good, and the coffee itself was bold and smooth. Just don't expect to hang out for long, there's no seating. Overall, clean aesthetic and quick in-and-out vibes. read more

I've been to this coffee shop twice last month -- and that says a lot considering I live over 20 miles away! It's absolutely worth the drive. The coffee is top quality -- rich, smooth, and perfectly crafted every time. The cream top is fresh and complements the coffee so well. You can truly taste the care and attention in every cup. On top of that, the customer service is consistently friendly and welcoming. The staff makes you feel appreciated and remembered, which makes the whole experience even better. Great coffee, and genuinely kind service -- I'll definitely keep making the drive back. read more

My sister and I recently stumbled upon this place on a trip to Beverly Hills and we loved it so much we went twice. The first time we went, she got a cream top and I got an iced vanilla bean flat white. We both agreed that my drink was better, and we were really impressed with the quality. We kept seeing people with small cups and were wondering that drink that was since so many people had it. Since it was so good, we decided to go back the next day. My sister got an iced vanilla bean flat white, and I got the elusive iced breve macchiato in the small cup. WOW the iced breve macchiato blew us away it was so amazing. One of the best coffee drinks we have ever had. The small size is perfect because it is so rich. If you come here, you need to get the iced breve macchiato for sure. read more

Small coffee shop with a minimalistic modern vibe. The cream top ($6.75) is their signature drink. It can come hot or iced, and as the name suggests, it's a creamy sweetened foam that sits atop the coffee. I'm personally a big fan of vanilla, so opted for the vanilla bean flat white ($6.75). Drink wasn't super sweet and the vanilla flavor was distinct. I also liked seeing the flecks of vanilla bean! Would highly recommend either drink. read more

As far as quality goes, Maru has probably the best espresso I've ever consumed in my life. It's so smooth and the flavors are perfect. I find most places overheat their espresso or don't brew at all constant temperature causing the espresso to burn even a little. The espresso here is so delicious and worth standing in a long line for. The aesthetic for this location is minimalist which I love, there are a couple spots to sit down while you wait. The staff works pretty fast considering the demand they deal with as the line is constantly out the door and wrapped around the corner. This location has metered parking so be prepared for that. read more

One of the best coffees I've had in a while. I got the signature cream top and the ice breve macchiato. I definitely enjoyed the macchiato more and it tasted so good. Reminded me of coffee I've had in Korea. Definitely will be craving it and coming back here when I'm in the area. I came on a Sunday and there was a line out the door. It does move fast though. The staff makes the coffee as fast as possible as well. It's a small espresso bar so there's not much space for you to enjoy the coffee inside. It's more of a place to get your coffee and go. read more

Okay I wasn't expecting it to live up to the hype but... it did. The coffee is rich, smooth, and the iced vanilla latte I got was perfectly balanced with the espresso and milk. I only wish they did their famous cloud cream in a non dairy version because it looked great. They charge .75 for oat milk which feels tacky for a fancier cafe since nowadays many places don't upcharge and all the milks are pretty much the same price. No bells and whistles here - just a very thoughtfully made lattes. And lots of men packed behind the coffee bar working away! I'd definitely go back! read more

They didn't have any matcha latte though We ordered Vanilla Bean Flat White with extra milk on the side and Cream Top. The cream was so delicious. The coffee on my Cream Top wa very smooth. We definitely loved our drinks. We were so excited that we didn't get to take photos of our drinks. The queue was somewhat long when we got there. We were in line for 10 minutes and our drinks came in less than 5 minutes or so. There were only limited seats inside the cafe. read more

Coffee was good, but the staff member left a really bad impression. After I selected "no tip" on the payment screen, the cashier suddenly went completely silent after the transaction. No "thank you," no anything, just complete silence. Meanwhile, the same cashier was warmly thanking other customers that came after me right after their payments, which made the difference feel pretty obvious. Whether intentional or not, the difference in attitude felt very obvious and unprofessional. read more

Maru Espresso Bar is what every coffee shop in Los Angeles should aim to be. It's clean, calm, and focused on quality. The baristas care about what they're doing, the drinks are consistently excellent, and the atmosphere feels intentional without being pretentious. Just a heads up for anyone new to the area. Do not confuse Maru Espresso Bar with Mauro Cafe. The names may sound similar, but they are worlds apart. Maru delivers perfection in a cup. Mauro Cafe is messy, loud, and filled with staff who act like you're bothering them by showing up. One takes pride in every detail. The other can't be bothered to wipe down a table or get your order right. At Maru, I've never had a bad drink or a negative experience. The service is respectful, the environment is peaceful, and the quality speaks for itself. Meanwhile, Mauro feels like a place that survives on hype, not substance. If you want a real coffee experience made with care, skip the nonsense and go straight to Maru. read more

10/14/2024 Second time coming here and Maru has not let me down. Okay, maybe only the long lines. ;) ESPRESSO CON PANNA Deep, smoky, bitter double espresso with cool whipped cream and a sprinkling of cocoa powder on top and around their demitasse cup. There wasn't a sharp contrast of hot and cold temperatures between the espresso and whipped cream. It starts with a bitter double espresso and ends with a sweet brown sugar flavor waiting at the bottom of the cup. That end flavor was very pleasant. I recommend that you drink this at Maru to get that full experience. ICED BREVE MACCHIATO Made exclusively for Maru Espresso Bar, THIS espresso is a must-try! This is the second time I've tried it and I love it even more than the first time I've tried it! Anyone who likes a slightly more sweeter drink would truly enjoy this! Not only was it delicious, but the marbling in their 8oz cup is so pretty! Stir everything together and enjoy every sip! This goes great with a buttery croissant! Highly, highly recommend! CUSTOMER SERVICE Like the first time, service was good. Everyone was friendly. However, my complaint is that the line moves at a snail's pace. Each espresso is undoubtedly made with care, but that means standing longer out the door and on the sidewalk. Got here a little after 11:00am and I just stood there on the side of the street, which is pretty awkward. But hey, coffee's great! I do wish Maru Espresso Bar was bigger; adding more tables and chairs. Each espresso needs to be enjoyed sitting down, not drank from to-go cups! Also, more pastry options and chocolates need to be added for that extra something that makes your day go even better. Having said all that, will be coming back! Wish Maru Espresso Bar came to Orange County because the coffee scene here is quite sad. read more

From the Business

Specialties

Maru Espresso Bar is our expression of timeless taste and high-quality espresso experience, reflecting our commitment to the craft and technique of coffee-making. As coffee moves increasingly further away from its classic roots and becomes a common work beverage, our aim is to create an establishment where you can savor the experience of a classic espresso in a relaxed atmosphere.

History

Established in 2016.

Maru adopts its name from a native Korean language, San Ma Ru, which means ‘mountaintop’. This is our symbol of quality as the finest coffee beans are grown and harvested from areas of high altitude. Born from a love of process and everyday quality, we are inspired by all things analog and the simplicity of good coffee. We believe that quality does not have to be austere and that tradition can be respected as well as re-imagined. Maru is made with intention, balance, and a love for the ritual of a well-made coffee.

The yuzu soft serve was yummy, but I wished the yuzu flavor came out more - it mainly tasted like their original soft serve with a light yuzu syrup on top.

We ended up having a long conversation, and she shared some excellent local restaurant recommendations that made the visit even more enjoyable. The drinks were well made and flavorful, although they were a bit sweeter than my personal preference. I did appreciate the variety of customization options, including boba and other add-ins that let you make the drink your own. Overall, a fun and welcoming spot with a relaxed atmosphere, good drinks, and genuinely friendly service. I'd happily stop by again when I'm in the area.

Last Sunday the line was a little bit shorter, and I was craving coffee so I decided to try it for the first time. I was thinking to myself, I hope this coffee is not super good so I don't have to ever come back again lol, hahahaha. However, the coffee turns out to be great. The matcha also fantastic , so I guess I'll be back.

But after taking my first sip... I completely understood the hype. The Matcha einspanner is absolutely heavenly. It's rich, creamy, perfectly sweet, and one of the best matcha drinks I've ever had. We also ordered the pistachio bread and the sliders for breakfast, and both were delicious. The pistachio bread was soft and flavorful, and the sliders made for a satisfying breakfast. Yes, you'll probably have to wait, but in my opinion, it's worth experiencing at least once. If you're a matcha lover, this place definitely deserves a spot on your list.

I came in with my boyfriend about a couple weeks ago for the first time. We are both gluten-free and vegan and were told they had some options for us so we decided to give it a shot and, OMG. This place is awesome! Parking is a bit annoying but so worth it and if you come on a weekday or midday even better. I've found it actually gets quite bust later at night (for obvious reasons :) They had about 4 cookie options that were both gf and vegan. It was chocolate chip, cc walnut, strawberry preserve and apricot preserve. We tried all 4 and they were amazing; gooey, crispy and chocolatey. Honestly 10/10 especially for gf and vegan. I do wish they had more interesting flavor options for gf/vegan items cause we like variety too but I'm still happy. The customer service has always been pretty great too and everyone is super friendly. The pricing is also SUPER reasonable especially for the size cookies you get. I come here like once a week (on cheat days) for my new favorite treats :)

I went Sunday, and saw a bottleneck at Valet so I found plenty of parking a block south and on the side street. Valet was only $18 for the 2 hours we were there so not awful at all. This hotel is super elegant and walking into The Living Room was like that, walking into a living room. It was right there past the receptionist and with a glass back drop of the garden. We opted for the 2nd tier, Premium. It doesn't change the tea choice ( you only get 1) or the food, it's just whatever champagne or bubbles you prefer. And oh my god! That rose was fantastic! I am not a rose fan, but I see why this one was considered Premium. I choose the coconut creme tea, thinking it might he herbal, but I didn't ask. I was planning on my jacked on caffeine and sugar before the day was over. All the finger sandwiches were fabulous, I ate them all. My favorite was the salmon, chicken and egg salad. Although I also enjoyed the egg plant. I can't tell you all the desserts that I ate. I ate all of that too. I literally only left half of a scone and the scones were fabulous as well. They were soft and they were fresh and I don't think i've ever had a fresh scone before so game changer! The service was perfect! Someone is coming by to pour you more tea. Everyone was very nice and attentive. We had a lovely time! I highly recommend this place for afternoon tea with the gals!

They seated us right away for our reservation. My mom and I love high tea. We try a new place about twice a year. This place is stunning. The food is okay. I appreciated that my mom and I each had our own stand since most places do two of everything and place on one stand. The tea was good. It is a bit pricey - $135 per person for afternoon tea, an additional $65 per person for unlimited champagne. My mom & I both had the afternoon tea, she treated herself with the unlimited champagne and a $24 caviar bite which was so small, I would consider it half a bite. It was still worth a cute picture and my mom said it was delicious. The tip was included in our bill and was a little over $400. The servers are attentive and checked up on us often. I will say there is limited seating and although it is comfortable, it is a bit awkward. I would come back here for the aesthetics and look however as for food and traditional high tea, most likely not.

This point is key as this neighborhood can be tricky to park in during peak business hours even though there are several metered spots available in front of the shop and on surrounding streets. I recently visited on a Friday morning and found nearby parking within walking distance, and you could also park at the nearby library and walk if the cafe if circling around for a spot is getting you nowhere. Now, on to the cafe itself! Verve offers a variety of drinks along with pastries for sale, and they even hosted a cookbook popup during my recent visit. I usually get espresso-based drinks or their cold brew, and I've never been disappointed by the drink quality or the time it takes to prepare my beverages. There's ample seating both indoors and outdoors, and I could see why this would be a popular spot for reading or getting work on your laptop done.
