    chestnut hojicha latte, mango matcha cream top
    Mandie L.

    I love this cafe I'll definitely be back especially to try their other menu items! staff were friendly and drinks came out pretty quickly. chestnut hojicha latte (4.8/5): this is such a good combo u can taste both the chestnut and hojicha and they compliment each other so well. it wasn't too sweet and not too heavy either. the hojicha was strong and thankfully didn't taste burnt. mango matcha cream top (4.7/5): definitely one of the better mango matchas that i've had. they compliment each other without overpowering the other. the matcha was smooth. not too sweet or heavy as well. seating: plenty of seating inside and outside. they have two full floors for outdoor seating which is perfect for studying. they do have free wifi as well. parking: they do have valet garage parking lot which is free for the first 3 hours if i remember correctly. bathroom: two bathrooms and both were pretty clean.

    I arrived around 5 pm on a weekday and was able to find free parking easily underground! There is a valet, so I'm not sure if there's a time limit. Vibes: there's plentiful of seats and some with outlets. It can get pretty crowded but I had no issues finding a bar seat. Drinks: 5/5 Hojicha latte: the cream top and the Hojicha blends perfectly, I like this more than the matcha Double matcha: the matcha and cream top here is sooo good. The hype is fr. This place has great drinks and is a good place to study!

    Strawberry Matcha Cream Top, Chestnut Hojicha Latte, Raspberry Hibiscus

    Loved the drinks and ambiance here! It's rare to find a spacious cafe in LA with validated parking, so this place was a pleasant surprise. My family and I tried the Strawberry Matcha Cream Top, Chestnut Hojicha Latte, and Raspberry Hibiscus. - Strawberry Matcha Cream Top -- So yummy! The matcha was smooth, and the fresh strawberries paired really well with it. - Chestnut Hojicha Latte -- Nutty, roasty, creamy, and not overly sweet or heavy. One of the best hojicha lattes I've had! - Raspberry Hibiscus -- Subtly fruity and refreshing. The staff were friendly, though it can get a bit crowded during busy times. They offer 3-hour validation in a parking structure, but parking can be limited and the spaces are a bit tight. There's seating inside the cafe, along with plenty of outdoor seating on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The outdoor area felt shaded, spacious, and airy. It's a great spot to socialize, study, or get some work done, and the 3rd floor is quieter if you want a calmer spot. I will definitely come back to try more of their drinks and food next time!

    On Thursday, April 23rd, I had lunch with my mom at M Cafe. I had the chicken pasta, and my mom had the avocado toast. I've been here several times before, and every time the food has been so delicious. The staff here are also extremely friendly: I tried to open the restroom door using the code, but it didn't work, so I went to the front desk. A female staff member kindly came over and helped open it for me. The restroom was also very clean, which was good. After placing the order, they give you a buzzer that rings when your food is ready, and you pick it up at the counter. When both dishes were ready, my mom was sitting outside on the patio, and I couldn't carry both trays at once. When I said I would come back for the second one, a male staff member kindly brought the other dish outside for me. I really appreciated how kind and helpful they were. However, one downside is that this place is very popular, so the food took about 40 minutes to come out. It was a really long wait. Since I went during lunch, I had to rush through my meal and hurry back to the office once the food finally arrived. cf 1) My mom placed the order while I was in the restroom and didn't ask me, so we ended up getting chicken pasta. If I had ordered, I would have chosen shrimp pasta instead. cf 2) After my mom placed the order, the staff member told her that the food would take about 20 to 40 minutes and asked if that was okay. Since I was in the restroom, she couldn't check with me, so we ended up waiting the full 40 minutes. The female staff member also mentioned to my mom that if we're in a hurry, it's better not to come here during lunch hours because the wait can be quite long. OMG. So I think this is a place that's better to visit on the weekend when you have more time to relax and enjoy the meal. cf 3) One more thing: you can only view the menu on your phone by scanning a QR code. They used to have paper menus last year, but they no longer do, which was a bit disappointing.

    Mi Cafe entrance

    Wow, wow, wow! Excellent drinks, excellent service. Came here for a quick pick-me-up and ordered a matcha cream top and misugaru cream top. Both were hand-crafted with care and looked so pretty...and the taste was as good as they looked! Matcha cream top was solid and had the right balance of sweet and strong matcha flavor. Misugaru was strong in coffee, but also nutty from the black sesame. Highly approve! As mentioned, service was super nice, even offering me a sturdy cup holder to bring the goods home. Cafe itself is located on the second floor of a mall-plaza and is fairly spacious with tons of natural lighting that's perfect for studying or catching up with friends. If I lived closer, I'd be at Mi Cafe every day!

    orange cream Americano
    Salvina L.

    I found my favorite cafe in ktown and it checks so many boxes for me. First, free valet parking for 3 hours with a receipt in an underground, protected garage. Second, large tables for studying/doing work with reliable wifi. Spacious inside and outside and there are multiple floors of seating. Lastly, the drinks are extraordinary. The koi matcha comes with oat milk in the price and is sweet but not too sweet and the matcha is smooth and robust. Texture of the drink is not too thin. Literally how I love my matcha and how I like to make it for myself. The orange cream americano is also sooo good it reminds me of camel coffee but better price for the size and americano version. It's better than most orange coffees in ktown like Van Dyke and is so refreshing. I will definitely be a regular here!! I also love that they have full meal options like burger, pasta etc. Most cafes only have pastries and I end up starving. It also seems like a vibey place to hang out and catch up with friends because it's big enough to find a place with some privacy. So underrated but also don't want it to blow up TOO much so I can still find seating...

    Matcha Cream Top
    Mary A.

    Located on the second floor, with valet parking in the lot below (though spots are limited). There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, but it fills up quickly, especially with students studying or working. They offer both food and drinks. I ordered the Unsweetened Matcha Cream Top ($7.25), and it was really good! Strong matcha flavor and the cream top was a standout. Staff were nice, and overall it was a solid experience. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    This place is so cute, I love it. I'm so happy that there's a cafe opened early and doesn't close at 3 PM, so I can study for long periods of time. There is a parking garage here, but it's only 90 min parking and it's relatively small. Mi Cafe is on the second floor and quite spacious overall. There's an outdoor section with plenty of seating, I came during the rainstorm and some tables can't be used, but there's other tables that are usable. The inside has quite a few tables as well. It's pretty spacious and comfortable. The music is a little louder inside, so I'd recommend bring a pair of headphones. I also love the variety of food selection. A lot of cafes I've been studying usually only has pastries and no savory foods. This place has both! I had the vanilla bean latte which is pretty good. Not super sweet. I also had butter salt bread. It's not the softest I've ever had, but the taste is on point.

    Kimchi pasta and avocado toast
    Natalie Y.

    kimchi pasta was creamy, indulgent, and packed with flavor. not too spicy but pretty heavy bc of the cream based sauce. Lots of kimchi pieces incorporated into the dish. It had some pieces of meat but i couldnt tell exactly what. I want to guess bacon? Also pasta had good texture, sort of al dente! packed the rest to-go and ended up eating it for dinner as well. Avocado toast was loaded with avocado. Bread was a bit tough to cut through. My brother said it was "aight" tho. waters are off to the side if you need it! you order at the counter and theyll let you know when the food is ready. then you just bring back the tray when youre finished. very simple. and there are plenty of seats available. like a large amount of seating inside, outside, and upstairs. its really nice and spacious! and not too loud. most ppl seem to be working on their laptops or having small conversations with friends.

    italian and turkey sandwiches
    Rachel Z.

    such a great spot for drinks, food, getting work done, hanging out, everything really. they had great service on top of that, which adds to the experience. the double matcha was so yummy and had good strength and default sweetness being not too sweet already. the turkey sandwich and the italian one were both so delicious and great portions. there is SOOO much seating but we went on a sunday and it filled up pretty quickly past noon with mostly students studying. inside seating is even tougher to get as pretty much all the outlets are inside - i only saw one outside so :( bonus for the free parking in the garage but it is time-limited (3 hours if i remember correctly) and the spots are also very few

    Outdoor patio on 2nd floor.
    Christina C.

    Very good matcha almond milk latte! Smooth, available unsweetened, stevia provided. A little heavy on the ice, but I'm sure they'd do light ice if requested. The covered patio is spacious and wonderful to study, work, or hang out on a warm day. The girl at the register was very nice. Clean restrooms and free valet parking, too!

    chestnut hojicha and double matcha
    Katherine T.

    lots of seating, inside was clean, and the girl taking our order was really nice! my boyfriend and i shared the double matcha and the chestnut hojicha. both were pretty lackluster to us and also on the powdery/grainy side. a bit disappointing since there are so many other cafes around, i was really looking forward to trying it maybe next time we'll try different drinks and their food/pastries. parking is also free so that's a plus!

    went to try Mi Cafe for some studying a few days ago! I parked on the street in a residential area as I got a bit confused where the building was lol, so I am not sure if they have a parking garage inside the building. but keep in mind Mi Cafe is a business inside a large building with other businesses. I walked in a really liked the ambiance and set up, the cafe had some indoor seating with a lot of outdoor seating on the patio too. great space for getting work done (bring some noise-canceling headphones though because it does get loud) or chatting with friends. I ordered the misugaru latte since I saw it was voted best misugaru latte in LA !! It was honestly really good. It wasn't too sweet but also wasn't devoid of sweetness in general, it was just right. I finished it way too fast lol!! the employees were nice and my order came out quickly and looked very presentable. if needed, there are two restrooms inside the cafe. I would definitely come back here!!

Here's a helpful tip: The bank next door allows 10 minutes of parking if you use their ATM and keep your receipt. There is security in the lot, so be sure to have your receipt as proof of the time. It's more than enough time to run next door and grab your treats. I ordered a slice of the lemon loaf, a gluten-free cookie, and the classic chocolate chip cookie. The lemon loaf slice is huge, I'd say it's the equivalent of two slices, so it's definitely big enough to share. As for the cookies, Levain is known for making them thick and rich. A small piece goes a long way, making them perfect for savoring over a couple of days (if you have that much self-control!). The moment you walk inside, you're greeted by the incredible aroma of freshly baked pastries, and the service was warm and welcoming. I truly think everyone should experience a Levain cookie or pastry at least once. It's worth the visit!

My total was $15.25 and I paid cash, but I was given $4.75 in change. When I said it should be $5, she seemed confused and asked what I meant. I told her I literally gave you a quarter right now, and she questioned it before eventually giving me the correct change. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a mistake. I understand times are hard, but charging more for products that clearly had corners cut doesn't sit right with me. It just comes across like there's no integrity. Clearly the quality and portions are going downhill. I wasn't even planning on writing this review. I was going to stay quiet, but the chocopie really ticked me off. I'm not going to pay for food that skims on ingredients and shortchanges customers by charging more for less, so this will be my last visit.

I'm not big on creamy and sugary things and I'm more of a chocolatey person. They had lots of different options for cookies, brownies, banana pudding, and drinks.

    I should have read the reviews first - then I might have ordered the banana pudding. Instead I got…read more3 vanilla cupcakes (1 for me, 2 for my teenagers). I bake a lot. So do my kids. And I know that vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting is pretty easy to make, but sometimes I'd rather just buy baked goods than make them for myself, especially when I'm driving past what I thought was a popular (and presumably good) bake shop. I expected a high-quality cupcake. The cupcakes looked cute, but they were as dry as the Sahara. They should have been labeled as white cupcakes as I didn't detect any vanilla in them. I suspect that the "buttercream" was made with milk and margarine and powdered sugar.....so much powdered sugar. It was sickeningly sweet, and it was dry too. And a true bettercream doesn't even use powdered sugar. So not only were the cupcakes terrible, they were not even what they purported to be. This is like calling a cut of meat a filet mignon and serving a hamburger. Von's, Ralphs and Albertson's make better cupcakes than this for a fraction of othe price.

    We had an amazing experience at Bottega Louie! Our waiter, Theron H., was absolutely outstanding,…read morefriendly, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout our visit. He took the time to explain the menu in detail since it was our first time dining here, which made us feel very welcome and comfortable. The service was exceptional from start to finish, and the food was delicious. Employees like Theron are a huge part of what makes customers want to return. Bottega Louie is lucky to have him on their team. He truly deserves a raise, for the level of service he provides. Thank you for making our first visit so special. We will definitely be coming back!
