RNY is my go-to coffee shop. I visit several times a week to say hi to my favorite baristas (Hi…read moreMichael, Wonki, and team!) and order a potent pick me up. The baristas are passionate about their craft and so knowledgeable about coffee beans and are expert latte artists. I love that their cold brew is made using the cool science-y looking contraption. My little one gets the strawberry or chocolate milk; they use real strawberries puree and none of that powder crap. I love their iced vanilla bean latte, cold brew, strawberry matcha, iced matcha latte, iced americano. Everything is so balanced, delicious, and perfect! I've had their pour overs with single origin beans. Yummy! Whether you need a quick pick me up, study or work space, or social coffee time with friends, I 100% recommend stopping by RNY!

Got the dirty matcha and vienna latte. The vienna latte was definitely the better option. The drink wasn't too sweet and the foam gave it good balance.

Their photo booth is really cute and easy to use, but you do have to pay $10 which is not bad at all. They have their pastries facing the street entrance to the cafe (not the entrance from the parking lot). I didn't know that they had pastries on display until after I had payed for drinks and had to make line again. Can't imagine how frustrating it can be when it's a bit busy and having to make line again. I ordered a regular matcha latte with oat milk, the color was promising but once I took a sip of it I was disappointed. If you're a person that likes sweet matcha then this is for you. I personally I didn't like it just because it was sweet and grainy. I could see matcha but could not taste it. My sister got an iced vanilla latte and said it was really good! Not too sweet and not bitter either. I would have to go for an iced latte if I ever come back to visit!

I loved the decor inside and the fact that theres a seating area on the second floor. I ordered a matcha latte ($7+ tax). They made it super quickly and I went upstairs to find a seat. Even though it was a Thursday, almost all the tables were taken so I went to the outside tables for a little bit. Someone ended up leaving and I snagged their table. One thing to note is that the parking lot outside does say 2 HR visitor parking.

When I went to pick it up, I grabbed a saucer to avoid spilling on my way back to my seat. Before I could even walk away, one of the baristas snatched it from my hand and said, "You're not allowed to use that. The saucers go with the latte mugs!" I paused, glanced at the empty café behind me, and replied, "There are plenty available--surely I can use one." He continued, in a dismissive tone, speaking to me in a way that felt unnecessarily disrespectful. I chose to walk away and still enjoy my pour-over. But it's not just about serving good coffee. As Maya Angelou reminds us, people will always remember how you made them feel. And in this space, I felt unwelcome. As a paying customer--one who tipped in advance--that behavior felt undeserved and unwarranted. For that reason, there's no need to return.

Another awesome coffee shop in Koreatown…read more And, you guessed it, because we're in K-Town, the parking situation is not ideal - doable, but not ideal. We managed to find a meter parking spot on the street where the strip mall was located though. There was no line to get in, no line to order and the wait for our drinks was minimal. We came around lunch on a weekday. The space is great. High ceiling so it feels bigger than it is -- and it actually is a pretty big coffee shop. All the tables and benches were occupied. Lots of people working or studying or hanging out. The CORTADO was strong, creamy and not tart. Love it. The ICED LATTE is delicious. The MATCHA COOKIE with white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts was delicious and warmed prior to serving. They roast and sell their own beans. Staff are all nice. Space is beautiful.

I've been a fan of Stagger Coffee for a long time. Even though it's quite far from where I live, I…read morestill make the drive whenever I get the chance because the drinks are consistently excellent. Unfortunately, today's experience left a very bad impression. The cafe was busy, which is completely understandable on a weekend. After waiting for a while, my family finally found an empty table. However, the table was covered with crumbs and drink spills, so I politely asked if someone could wipe it down. A tall, slim Asian male staff member came over with a cloth and cleaned the table thoroughly, but his attitude was shockingly rude. He looked visibly annoyed the entire time, as though I had asked him to do something unreasonable. Understanding that the staff were busy, I immediately thanked him when he finished. He didn't acknowledge me, didn't make eye contact, and simply walked away as if I wasn't even there. I'm sorry, but cleaning a dirty table is not an outrageous request--it's a basic part of running a cafe. Customers who spend their money at your business deserve at least a minimum level of courtesy and respect. Being busy is understandable; treating customers with open hostility is not. What made this especially disappointing is that the drinks were, as always, fantastic. The quality of the coffee keeps bringing people back, but experiences like this make me question whether it's worth the drive. To the staff member involved: if you're unwilling to help customers without showing obvious frustration, perhaps someone with a better attitude should handle customer-facing responsibilities. Great coffee can only compensate for poor service for so long.

The texture was incredibly smooth, the temperature was perfect, and the notes came through clearly without being overly bright. What stood out most was how well the drink held together. The crema stayed intact from the first sip to the last and never broke apart. The body remained consistent throughout, and even a few minutes after finishing it, I could still taste the coffee on my palate, which is always a sign of a special cup. Thank you too Jesse, who made the drink. She was super friendly and genuinely happy to talk coffee. The lady at the register which I didn't get her name was also very welcoming and helpful. One thing I always pay attention to is whether the staff are engaged and enjoy talking about coffee, and both of them were. That's usually a great sign that a shop takes pride in what they're serving. Between the quality of the coffee, the execution, and the people behind the bar, this was easily one of the best cortados I've had in Los Angeles. I would definitely be returning with friends.

The line is not for the faint of heart. I tried their matcha einspanner, breakfast sliders, and pistachio toast and all three were AMAZING. - Matcha Einspanner: One of the best matchas I've ever had! The matcha is so well balanced - you can actually taste the matcha, not too sweet, and creamy too. They also sprinkle sea salt on top which helps enhance the matcha flavor. My only complaint is that I wish the cup was bigger. - Breakfast Sliders: I wasn't expecting much from the sliders, but everyone always hypes up their slides, so I knew I had to give it a try. I was not disappointed! The egg is so fluffy and the sauces that come with it are so delicious, especially their hot sauced. I added bacon and avocado too and it was great. - Pistachio Toast: I feel like their pistachio toast is not talked about enough. It was so yummy and satisfying that I wish I could get another one. The toast is hearty and the pistachio spread with sea salt, olive oil, and olive oil is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I'm still thinking about their toast. Although it is quite pricey, I think the taste and quality justify the price. The interior is small and there's about 6 tables outside which is pretty crowded so you might have to take it elsewhere to enjoy. Parking is easy with metered street parking or free parking in the neighborhoods.

Nothing complex about it. Drink: the Matcha was good but not worth waiting in line for. Overall, what can I say that someone else hasn't already said about this place?

Side note: when leaving, someone drove by, rolled down their window and yelled "go get jobs" to everyone waiting in line. The whole crowed laughed and I was just stuffing my face with food. P.S. I had the day off from work. Cheers.
