    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.

    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!

    DELICIOUS coffee, lots of space, parking and WiFi. What more could you possibly ask for in a k-town coffee shop. The staff was extremely friendly as well, I'll be back to try the food because that looked absolutely delicious. I'm still so surprised how much space there was in there. The menu looked delicious.

    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.

    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!

    Strawberry matcha
    Kristen T.

    The strawberry matcha was good but the strawberry puree wasn't sweet enough imo. The matcha is super creamy and the size is actually decent. The matcha cream top is good but slightly bitter. The strawberry salt bread was good but kinda just tasted like a buttered dinner roll so not sure if worth $6.50. Overall the vibes are nice and it's a solid matcha spot Update: the matcha was too strong and kept me up all night :(

    Double matcha late and Misugaru Latte
    Natalie H.

    My new favorite matcha and coffee spot!! This place is awesome. Parking in the street or lot and head up to the second fooor. The space is huge, perfect for catching up with friends or getting work done. I grabbed some salt bread and a scone. The matcha salt bread was 10/10. The matcha scone was 9/10. The double matcha was delicious but what I loved even more was the misugaru latte with cream top! Similar to a black sesame but not as peanut-y. I got it half sweetened and it was perfect! Kind workers, quick service. 10/10 recommend this place.

    i visited M cafe recently, and appreciated the free valet parking, which is super rare in LA. there were multiple seating options inside, outside, and on the floor above. i didn't try any of the food, but there were many options if you are planning on staying at the cafe longer. the service was very quick, even on a busy saturday afternoon. we ordered the matcha cream top and regular matcha latte both with oatmilk. the flavor of the matcha was super strong, which i personally love, and it wasn't too sweet either. i will definitely be coming back to study here!

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    My supervisor loves this place and recommended it. I haven't been inside, so I can't comment on…read moreservice, etc. Honeycomb Sugar Latte: I like the idea that you can add the amount of honey crumble into the drink based on your preference. I ended up adding it all. Salted Caramel Latte: I tried this drink the second time around, and I love it. It will be my go-to drink from now on at Alibi Coffee. It's sweet and creamy.
