    Blue cloud drink
    Laleen K.

    This place is a hidden gem! I didn't see a parking lot for this place, so street parking! It seems like a pretty regular store until you get inside. I love the ambiance of this place because you can hear the water running from the windows, and there's a nice garden outside. We went on a Saturday morning around 10 am and it did not seem too busy. This place would be super nice for a nice coffee hangout. We ordered the Blue Wave coffee drink, which has a banana cream topping! It looks different and unique compared to other drinks; I would definitely order it again and come back when visiting LA!

    Escaping LA w/o Leaving LA?!?! SOLUTION! Namiko Studio Cafe WeHo, CA On the outside it is unassuming with no expectations and honestly it looks like a typical coffee shop. The moment you walk in and look to the left, curiosity hits when you explore the beautiful secret garden that feels like a vacation resort! Umbrellas, hammock, green area, pebble walkways and lots of resort style seating where you can absorb the vibes, eat and sip and enjoy what @namikostudiocafe has to offer. It's really an unexpected oasis and the best part is the coffee, drinks, pastries, prepared snacks like onigiri and spam musubi taste really good and simply hits ! Service is friendly. Definitely a must go and check out. Movie nights and other fun scheduled events are being planned out as we speak.

    Matcha latte

    I'm awarding this new Matcha spot in Beverly 10 stars. That's right 10! Namiko uses high-quality ingredients in its beverage lineup -- like ceremonial Matcha and healthy alternative milks without those gummy fillers. My drink was clean, fresh, and the perfect ratio of Matcha to milk. What makes this place extra special? A huge outdoor patio garden not visible from the road with lots of seating and umbrellas. They also serve lite bites -- and make their own pizzas on the weekends. What more could you ask for? According to the baristas, the owner is a surfer who wanted to bring a bit of the beach to the concrete jungle. The name Namiko roughly translates to wave child. Without a doubt, I'll be spending a lot of time here. Highly recommended!

    I had the Wave, best matcha I've ever had ! So rich and flavorful- it's the real deal!

    Welcome to the neighborhood! All 8 of us loved our various matchas, ice teas and pastries ( the croissant was a favorite). Although it was too hot to sit outside that day (90 degrees!!) we'll be back soon to enjoy the lovely patio

    Great space

    3.5 stars for me for the coffee but with the ambiance/vibe I'd give this place a solid 4 stars. I came here and ordered the Spanish latte. It was not very good, but I've definitely had better Spanish lattes at other coffee spots. I think the coffee itself could use a little more refinement and flavor. It tasted like I was drinking cinnamon milk. That being said, what really makes this place stand out is the ambiance. The inside and outside design are both really beautiful and give off such a relaxing, aesthetic vibe. It feels like one of those places you come to more for the atmosphere and experience rather than just the coffee alone. You can tell they have a lot of potential and are building something unique here. While it may not be my first choice specifically for coffee, I'd still possibly come back to hang out, enjoy the space, or meet up with friends.

    Namiko Studio Cafe is one of those lowkey LA spots that makes you want to gatekeep. Creative crowd, fresh air, plenty of outlets, and a clean outdoor setup that makes it easy to lock in. The drip coffee was good and came with a free refill, staff was welcoming, and the restroom having a bidet was crazy cool. Perfect laptop-friendly cafe if you're feening for creative energy and a breath of fresh air.

    Chocolate covered strawberry latte
    Alfie E.

    Namiko Studio Cafe is an absolute gem! Staff was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered a chocolate covered strawberry latte and it was delicious! It had rea finely-chopped sweetened strawberries! I would definitely order this again but maybe add another shot of espresso. The quiche was good but it was a little bit cold in the middle. Overall, it was a great breakfast and would next time order one of their gorgeous pastries. The huge pull in this cafe is the SPACE! The garden area is cute with lots of cushioned lounge chair, a grassy area with blankets to lay on and HAMMOCK! If you are looking for a place to be creative, read a book or want to find a quiet, peaceful spots to kick it in, this would be the spot. I brought a sketch book and it was a perfect ambiance to journal and sketch for a couple of hours.

    Solid coffee, matcha and boba spot with a selection of savory and sweet pastries. There's a cozy indoor space as well as a large patio with seating and umbrellas for shade as well as a hammock and manicured grass area for additional seating. They also offer WiFi. They graciously offered to close off the patio for a work event and even though so many of us arrived at once the service was quick and the patio spot perfect for our group. My quiche was excellent although the matcha could have been hotter. Recommend this spot for its welcoming and chill vibe, patio space and drink and pastry offerings.

    Matcha almond croissant
    Carlo G.

    New aesthetic café in the Fairfax area that's worth checking out! One of the best café atmospheres in LA for me. Glad to have visited it before TikTok blows this place up lol. They serve Asian-inspired items. I visited this café on a Friday noon and my experience here was great. Approaching the café and walking in, I was enamored with the pretty design, clean interior, and open space. There was artificial rain being sprayed by the windows paired with rain music which was so vibey. I also loved the spacious outdoor area which even has hammocks. A perfect place to wind down and relax. They even have outlets and wifi and I was able to do some work from here which was a plus. They even have clean bathrooms with Japanese toilets, what does this place not have! I ordered their Namiko Signature drink which is a vanilla latte with a blue banana cream top. While I enjoyed the flavor and creaminess of the cream top, the coffee itself was quite weak. My friend who ordered the iced americano also thought her drink was weak as well. I know this drink was literally created a day or two ago, so I would recommend using a stronger roast in the recipe. I also ordered their matcha almond croissant and that was good as well. The croissant was crispy and I enjoyed the cakey bits baked on top. I would recommend having more matcha and almond filling/flavoring though. The service was great and the staff were kind. They explained the menu items to me, helped me access the bathroom, and checked up on me which I appreciated. While the food items could be improved on, I do recognize the potential of this café to be huge. Good luck to the new business owners and I will come visit again for sure!

    I stumbled across this newly opened neighborhood cafe and was so delighted by how lovely the space is! Namiko means "wave child," and there are definitely some nods to surf and waves with the space decor and chill and zen vibe. There's both indoor seating as well as a spacious outdoor patio - the patio is a stand-out and is perfect for enjoying the sunny LA weather and relaxing or chatting with friends. On top of that, they're open until 10pm every day and on their website they mention hosting future community events and movie nights which would be an amazing addition to our community! I love that the cafe is dog friendly as well! Free wifi is available. The atmosphere is overall so relaxing, inviting, and chill - perfect for hanging out or getting some work done. Service was friendly, and I ended up getting the mango green tea less sweet (they have boba as a topping too!). The drink itself was pretty standard, but I liked the mango chunks in the drink. It was on the pricey end as well ($9 in total). Their bathrooms are really nice (complete with a bidet and heated seat haha!) and there's plenty of street parking in the area. Overall, a great new spot in our neighborhood with lots of potential!

    Super cool place to do work or get a drink and chit chat with friends. They even have a picnic area where you can ask to borrow a blanket. Also pet friendly!!

    Outdoor portion
    Terrence Michael L.

    Wish I could give it a 4.5 Pros: - A LOT of really cool seating both inside and outside. The outside patio gives room to have great conversations and own a portion of the space. - A cafe this large with mixed patio/indoor seating is rare in my opinion to this scale. - The music volume was great and not too loud and the tracks fit the vibe of of the place. - The indoor tables are raising/lowering depending on needs. They're not too heavy either so are easy to reposition. Great distribution of outlets too! - Nice selection of pastries, including ensaymada -- IYKYK - Updating my rating to 5 stars. The outdoor portion is actually well-lit + water feature, and a lot of dog friendly areas! Cons: - The tables are cool but not stable. Not to say they wobble (thankfully they don't), but the tops do spin as if they're on ball bearings which can be useful but also felt awkward while working. Also, the wood boards that make them aren't always evenly flush so using a mouse on it with your laptop can be annoying. - If you don't want caffeine, you have no choice. Despite tea not having as much caffeine as coffee, there aren't really many options here that are completely caffeine-free so if you're caffeine sensitive, this location might be difficult to order from. - I wasn't asked if I would like my order hot or cold and was disappointed it came out cold. Granted I might have missed it specifically being a cold beverage in the menu, but I don't drink cold coffee as often.

    Strawberry tea and strawberry matcha

    This place is such a hidden gem... honestly one of my favorite finds. From the moment you walk in, the space feels calm, intentional, and beautifully designed. It has that perfect blend of cozy and aesthetic where you instantly want to stay awhile. The food and drinks were just as impressive. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully made, and not overly heavy. You can tell there's real care put into both the ingredients and presentation. I especially loved how balanced everything was, flavorful but still light and energizing. The service was warm and welcoming without being overbearing, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and easy. It's the kind of place that works for everything; catching up with a friend, getting a little work done, or just taking a quiet moment for yourself. If you're looking for a spot that feels a little elevated but still approachable, Namiko Studio Café is absolutely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back.

    Boba Upgraded! The Mochi Barley Burst Is an Absolute Must-Try…read more 3CAT Handcrafted Beverage has become one of my new favorite boba spots! This is a tea-forward spot that makes all ingredients and toppings fresh from scratch daily. Their most well-known unique topping is the barley popping boba. They use a real-chewy highland barley grain that gives off a nutty, earthy and milkdly sweet pop that makes for a unique texture. The fan-favorite drink is the Mochi Barley Burst which pairs a floral black milk tea with the popping barley and fresh handcrafted mochi. The tea does not have any artificial syrups and uses an organic milk with a bold tea base. The handcrafted mochi is super fun to have with the popping barley because it is pillowy and velvety. Make sure to mix it well together, so you can enjoy the whole drink for all its features. I like the ambiance of the shop. It's a smaller shop with some seating area. You order your drink at the self-service station. There's quite a few staff working to make the drinks, so we got our drinks in less than 10 minutes. I adore 3CAT and I would highly recommend visiting if you haven't already!

    I've been here a couple of times and thought it was time to review this establishment. Located at…read morethe busy intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Fairfax in West Hollywood; you won't be disappointed. It's a small space with a few tables inside with multiple large sliding glass doors that open onto the intersection on one side and a courtyard on the other side. It gives the place a nice urban feel with plenty of foot traffic outside and people watching. You order from one of the two kiosks outside of the kitchen. You select from the menu, make your payment, and assigned a number to notify you when your order is ready. They send messages to you via text. I was with a friend mid-afternoon on a Saturday. There was just a couple of people inside when we arrived. The evenings are usually busier with several people inside and on the outdoor courtyard which has a few tables. We both ordered cheesecake and we loved them. Very fresh, flavorful, and creamy in texture. I had the Oreo Cheesecake and my friend had the Mocha Cheesecake. My friend also had a Fusion Mocha Shake which he said tasted great with the right amount of mocha flavoring for his taste. We spoke to the owner/baker after we ate to compliment his desserts. I asked how business was and he said unfortunately slow. He mentioned how restaurants in general were having a hard time in the current uncertain economy. It has nothing to do with his products. The desserts and treats are great. If you can, give this spot a try. And the prices are reasonable considering the quality of the desserts. There's a promotion for new customers. Whatever amount you spend on your first visit, you earn that amount in credits towards your next purchase. It's all automated through your phone number. Open everyday until midnight. There are complimentary board games to play while dining. Limited parking in the plaza or street parking. It's great to have a quality dessert café in my neighborhood.

It's a petit venue with comfy couch seating, chairs and cute table that you can connect. We did that since there were about 7 of us. You order from the two kiosks or off of your phone so remember that they do not take cash as payment. There's so many fun options on the menus from scrumptious desserts, hot and cold beverages like teas and coffees. I had to have an iced boba beverage. So yummy. Our server who may also be the owner was very nice. Quick service, like we received text messages that your order has been placed and it was brought to our table within minutes. Incredible and he was very cheerful. While conversations were happening I noticed a cool shelf and on the shelf were games! Fun board and card games that continued the our mini party! This place was open until 11pm so it cool to have a coffee shop that stays open late. I took public transportation but there is underground parking at the venue, there are tons of parking meters and parking in the residential area. This place is YUMMY!

Lines do tend to get busy, so I recommend placing an order on the mobile app. It may take 10-20 minutes for your order to be ready (on a busy day), but at least you can walk around the mall until your drinks are ready. There's tables and chairs inside and outside the location if you prefer to sit down to enjoy your beverage.

They offer both a self-serve kiosk for quick ordering and a front register if you have questions or prefer ordering with staff assistance. Yi Fang is best known for their fruit teas, which are considered their specialty.
