    Not even exaggerating when I say this is the best cafe in all aspects: matcha, coffee, food, outlets, tables, and FREE VALET PARKING! This place is always packed, their matcha is some of the highest quality I've had in the US, and their coffee is strong as well. The kimchi carbonara pasta is the perfect fusion dish and their coffee burrito is actually better than Wake LA's. Love that they have covered outdoor seatings with fans and mists for the summer and heatwave!

    This place is located on the corner of a white building upstairs. There is free underground parking if you cannot find a spot on the street. This business has indoor seating and a huge covered outdoor seating area. We ordered a hojicha latte with a hojicha chestnut cream top, a matcha latte, a breakfast burrito and kimchi fried rice. Everything was fantastic!!!! This is a new spot.

    Honestly, Motiq in K-town is a pretty solid addition to the neighborhood, especially if you need a spacious spot to park with a laptop and actually get some work done. They have a massive setup with plenty of room both inside and outside. They do have some parking, but I just grabbed a spot on the street to keep it simple. Space-wise, it's great, but the food and drinks were a bit of a mixed bag for me. I ordered the mango matcha and the Japanese salt bread. The matcha quality itself is clearly high, but the mango layer just did not want to mix into the drink at all without a ton of aggressive stirring. The salt bread wasn't quite as soft as I wanted it to be either, though that bright green cream they pipe down the middle looks great. Next time I'd probably just skip the fruit combos entirely and stick to a straight-up matcha latte if you really want to taste the good tea. Still a nice spot to hang out though.

    ~4.5/5 Overall a very solid cafe with limited but amazing breakfast/brunch food, plentiful seating with WiFi and outlets, and solid matcha. Cafe is really busy around peak hours (we went Friday 2-5pm) and the WiFi has very limited bandwidth and won't work if there's a lot of people. You need to use hotspot if it's busy so plan accordingly. Don't sleep on the food here. I came here because I saw a tiktok on the breakfast burrito and they were not lying about how good it was, paired with 3 different sauces (Chipotle was the best). We also got the kimchi carbonara and it was super creamy and rich, and crazy good. It did take a while to come out though. The double matcha is pretty good, not my favorite in ktown. I liked the matcha cream top but the matcha latte is on the milkier side once mixed. Cafe workers are kind, and offered to lower the shades once it got super sunny. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area.

    Was excited to check out Motiq Cafe after their rebranding! I stopped by on a Friday afternoon, and the cafe was busy with people working or hanging out with friends. There's an indoor seating area along with a spacious patio with plenty of outdoor seating. Parking was also easy - there's free valet in the underground garage, which makes visiting super convenient. I ordered the matcha with matcha cream top, less sweet, and absolutely loved it. The drink was so smooth and the matcha flavor was rich. It definitely is very comparable to the other popular double matcha drinks in Ktown. Overall, this is a great spot in Ktown, and I'll definitely be back to try more!

    The only downside here is the parking, which can be pretty limited, especially on weekends. Once you're inside though, the space is huge. There's plenty of indoor seating along with a large shared patio for the plaza, so it's easy to find a place to sit. This is a great spot to get work done. There are outlets everywhere, free wifi, and the staff provided awesome service throughout my visit. I tried the black sesame latte, which was absolutely outstanding, and the burger was surprisingly really good too. It's not often you find a place that does both coffee and food this well. Overall, it's a great place to be productive for a few hours while enjoying a good meal and coffee. Just be sure to plan ahead for parking if you're visiting on a busy weekend.

    Great matcha/coffee spot in Ktown that's great for working/studying from! To drink, I got the double matcha and it was pretty good and smooth. Good matcha volume with some dry notes, but not a deal breaker. The matcha cream top was also creamy and smooth. The drink was the perfect amount of sweetness. I'd still prefer Stagger's and Rok's double matcha over this, but this was still great. The interior and exterior are spacious with plenty of seats, tables, and outlets. There's also free Wifi available. I came on a Sunday noon and it was pretty busy, but I was able to get a good spot since I came early around 9:30am. During peak hours, you may have to wait some time like around 15-20 minutes for your order to be ready due to the popularity of this cafe. They also have free covered parking, bathrooms, and food besides pastries. You can honestly spend a good amount of time here! I would definitely recommend this spot and would come back.

    Great spot for tons of open seating, good food and coffee! The parking is valet as well, which is free and convenient. The only downfall was that we waited an hour for an avocado toast that was forgotten! We did come in multiple times but they reassured us that once the buzzer went off it would be ready. After a ton of patience, we had to eventually communicate that we think our order was forgotten. Other than that, I recommend the strawberry matcha, the Misugaru latte, and Steve's bolognese from here! It was a delicious meal and pairing with the drinks! So glad to try Motiq and check that off my cafe list!

    Loved the koi matcha, as someone who is very picky with matcha drinks. They are open late (8am-10pm)! So much indoor/outdoor seating across two floors and free valet parking downstairs. Recently upgraded their matcha powder and rebranded from mi cafe. Wifi sadly does not work so my friend and I had to use our hotspots.

    Breakfast burrito
    Martha E.

    Such a charming little café with a really welcoming atmosphere. It felt cozy from the moment I walked in.. though was a little confusing as it was on the second level and I had walked in from the street. And the service was kind throughout my short takeout visit. They accidentally gave me the wrong order, but mistakes happen, and it didn't take away from the overall experience. As soon as I got home I called to hopefully help the other person that would have been affected- and they were truly the nicest about the whole thing! So while I didn't get the Italian sandwich I ordered/wanted, I did get a delicious breakfast burrito instead. You can tell they put care into what they serve. The space itself is the kind of place you want to make plans to be for a long while. Great airy and breezy deck with plenty of plants and a robust WiFi. I'd definitely come back and give them another try!

    Omg, they changed their name from Mi Café to Motiq, but the drinks are just as good as I remember :) I highly, highly recommend the double matcha latte and the matcha strawberry latte, which is still my personal favorite. The quality has remained consistent, and the drinks are just as delicious as ever. They've also updated the layout and overall vibe of the café. It feels much more chic and modern now, replacing the cozy sofas and couches they used to have. While I do miss some of the comfy seating, the refreshed aesthetic is cute and inviting in its own way. As always, service is quick and efficient. The only downside is that it's definitely more crowded these days now that the café has gone viral. Still, the drinks are worth the visit, and I'll continue coming back whenever I'm craving a good matcha fix.

    I recently tried almost everything on the menu at Motiq Cafe and I can honestly say I was blown away by nearly every single item. It's rare to find a place where so many dishes are consistently delicious, but they absolutely delivered! The sandwiches were all fantastic..mainly because the bread was incredibly soft without being soggy and every ingredient tasted fresh and high quality. The two standout dishes for me were the Fettuccine Alfredo and the Kimchi Pasta. As someone who is very picky about Alfredo, this was one of the best I've had in a long time!!!! So many restaurants make Alfredo that's either bland, overly cheesy, too heavy, or dry. They somehow found the perfect balance. It was creamy, flavorful, rich, and satisfying without feeling overwhelming. The Kimchi Pasta was another surprise favorite. It's one of those dishes that's hard to describe so you really just have to try it for yourself. The flavors were unique, addictive, and unlike anything I've had. If I had to pick a least favorite item, it would be the burger. The ingredients were clearly fresh and well-prepared, but compared to everything else on the menu, it felt a little bland and forgettable. There wasn't a signature sauce or unique element that made it stand out, so it ended up feeling pretty average. Drinks were all really good as well. Matcha was high quality, the mango matcha took me by surprise. I usually don't like mango drinks because it's sour and just doesn't match well with the matcha but this tasted like fresh Korean mangos and for sure had real mango at the bottom.

    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 was headed to dinner at the fabulous Holbox, but driving there from Hollywood at rush hour is…read morenever a good idea. So I looked for a coffee spot closer to the restaurant at which I could do some work. Alibi Coffee is only 10-15 minutes from the restaurant, which made it a good candidate--and off I went. It sits on the corner of Washington and Raymond Avenue. While there's one-hour parking on Washington, Raymond seems to offer unlimited parking (other than street cleaning days)--the friendly, helpful barista directed me over there. Inside, it's a tranquil, clean and comfortable environment that mixes contemporary touches with brick industrial vibes. I'm in my cream top era, so I decided to get their Trademark Cream Top Latte, which uses cold brew and house made cream with a hint of brown sugar. The drink was smooth and not too sweet and, all in all, extremely enjoyable. Next time, I might try the Salted Caramel Cream Top Latte. I was warned it was a bit sweeter, but I'd like to see for myself. Wi-Fi seems solid, and there are plenty of outlets (yay!), so this was a great work spot. I'd definitely return anytime I needed to be in this area.

The pictures don't lie. It's got that clean, modern coffee shop aesthetic, but a few quirky touches keep it from feeling like every other minimalist café. There's a photo booth in the back (which I assume explains the name) and a display of sunglasses that I never quite figured out. Also, no bathroom code. Always appreciated. Neither of us usually orders einspanners, but my wife got the vanilla and I ordered the mocha, both iced with oat milk. They were excellent. Creamy and rich and the coffee underneath was tasty even before mixing in the cream. The pastries looked beautiful and artful, although I was hoping for something simple like an almond croissant. The vibe outside on the patio was great. Lots of people working on laptops, plenty of room to settle in, and it felt more like a co-working space than a typical coffee shop. It's also super dog-friendly, has ample parking in its own lot and we even found easy street parking out front. Everything about this place just worked. We'll gladly make the 25-minute drive again.

They also sell glasses at the shop and they were all so cute!!
