I came in on a Thursday morning to grab a drink and cowork with my friend, and was pleasantly…read moresurprised. There was parking outside for the coffee shop and the business next-door. 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.

Customer…read moreservice needs improvement, took the baristas 2 minutes to acknowledge my presence and greet me, they were talking amongst each other and made me feel unwelcome. This location does not have the Salmon bagel! I repeat no salmon bagel. I ordered large Iced latte and 2 empanadas, coffee had more milk than espresso and the empanadas were warm but the filling was cold which was weird to me. After waiting 10 minutes for my order in a also empty coffee shop, my friend and I go outside to eat our food and enjoy our $20 meal w/tip, we get asked to leave because they're closing... website states 7:00am- 5:00pm, it was barely 4:20pm!!!. That is why this location is being rated a 1 star, overall bad experience. Look at my pictures... I placed my order at 4:04pm, they took about 10 minutes or 13 to give me my order, we got asked to leave at 4:20pm and when I asked the cashier if he could validate my parking he said " we don't validate here, but you can ask the guy with the vest!." So I did and he told me the same thing "we don't validate" after being asked to leave we paid a $20 fee at 4:37pm. No hate, do better Check out their south LA location on Manchester and Vermont, great customer service and they validate parking.

My new favorite spot for decadent matcha and hojicha drinks!…read more The cream top on the hojicha einspanner was so creamy and thick, and it was also the perfect level of sweetness. The strawberry matcha einspanner was also yummy and had a great presentation The space is pretty small but there are a few seats available. The line was around 20 minutes long on a Saturday afternoon. Like most spots in ktown, the parking lot is limited and you'll likely need to find street parking, but it is definitely worth the hype!

There's plenty of seating around the cafe but not lots of options for bigger groups. Service is always amazing and they are typically pretty fast with orders. Coffee never tastes burnt or rushed which is definitely a plus. Things to Note: * Parking is hit or miss because sometimes the lot is open to all and other times they all spots reserved for valet.

How good can matcha be anyway??…read more Insane experience at Archives of Us because I feel like I'd never really had matcha until I had it here! The barista recommended the Matcha Einspanner, which is one of their bestsellers, and then she asked whether I wanted regular milk or a different kind. I'm lactose intolerant, but at a place like this, you gotta try it with the classic preparation to get the full experience right? And wow, I kid you not, it's probably one of the best matchas you can get anywhere in Cali--super creamy, earthy, nutty, with a smooth grain texture that's not powdery at all. I genuinely think about this place all the time and can't wait to be back :') The music is a bit loud, but it's trendy and aesthetic inside!

I loved that they offer so many non-coffee options too. Their ceremonial-grade matcha was noticeably good--smooth, rich, and not bitter at all. Favorites: Injeolmi Latte And the real star? The Strawberry Injeolmi Croffle. So good. Crispy outside, soft inside, with the perfect balance of sweet and nutty flavors. Bonus: valet validation was only $3, which is a huge plus for K-town. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.
