I heard such good things about this place and I'm glad they weren't wrong! Ok I've only tried these 2 things and only these 2 things so take with a grain of salt if you're curious about coffee or cookies or anything else. FIRST OF ALL-- THAT CHERRY MATCHA!! Take my money ($8) my goodness just make it permanent. When is this summer menu over because I need another one immediately. I've heard of strawberry matchas and blueberry matchas and even mango matcha.. BUT CHERRY? That's new to me and it made me curious. And curiosity did NOT kill the cat this time because it was phenomenal. It tastes like real fresh juicy cherries (the dark sweet kind) and not a jam. It's sweet from the cherries. I'm sure there's sugar but you taste what seems like actual sweetness from the cherry vs additional sugar sweetening up sour cherry if that makes sense. The milk ratio is good. The matcha is a very respectable shade of green. Overall together its sweet (in a fruit way) and not too sweet overall. There's little bits of cherry in there too. Anyways, much love 1000% would get again. Yuzu Matcha Tonic ($7.5)-- Now this is going to sound like it sucks compared to the cherry matcha, but it was good! Like not life changing in anyway, but if yuzu matcha is what you like then this is it! It's bright, refreshing. Personally a little too sour for me but my friend liked it a lot. Good for after a heavy meal to just brighten and cleanse palate. Prices are comparable to other matcha/coffee shops. Wouldn't say it's cheap but can't say it's expensive either. Free parking though, which is a huge win especially in ktown! read more

Amazing MATCHA! I got the double matcha w almond milk and I want to say this was one of the best matcha's I've had! They have a cute seating area outside for you to enjoy your drink. The employees were so polite and made my drink pretty quick! I can't wait to go back and try their coffee next ! I need to get two drinks or else I'll have fomo for not getting this matcha again read more

I ordered online, and my cherry matcha latte was ready by the time I arrived. The staff was friendly and greeted me as soon as I walked in. The matcha had a nice color and a mild flavor in the latte. I've been to many matcha shops, but this was my first time trying a cherry matcha latte, so it was fun to try something different! The cherry flavor was noticeable without being overly sweet or artificial. There were also bits of cherry in the drink, which personally wasn't my favorite. Next time, I'd love to try one of their drinks with the cream top. read more

Picnic coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of the best coffee experiences I've had in Koreatown. You can immediately tell the baristas know what they're doing--the espresso was pulled beautifully and every cup was balanced and full of flavor. The coffee was so good that I ended up ordering a second drink. The Cherry Matcha was especially impressive. I wasn't sure what to expect but the sweetness, tartness and matcha were perfectly balanced without any one flavor overpowering the others. It was refreshing, unique and something I'd definitely order again. The barista who seemed to be the manager was incredibly warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Great service really makes a difference. The interior is clean, modern and thoughtfully designed, creating a comfortable space to relax or catch up with friends. I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the area. read more

Picnic coffee - Cherry matcha and iced americano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Was so excited to hear that Picnic Coffee opened a new location closer to me in Ktown! The interior is adorable and thoughtfully decorated with a whimsical, colorful, and retro vibe. There are a couple small tables and 2 communal tables, which makes it a great spot for chatting or getting some work done. I got the cherry matcha from their summer seasonal menu, and it was so delicious I practically inhaled it! Not overly sweet as well which I appreciated. Definitely a spot I will be visiting again! Free parking in the lot in the plaza too, which is a huge plus especially Ktown. read more

Visiting L.A.'s Koreatown after over a decade is such a mind blowing experience. Just like in Seoul, you can't walk 2-3 blocks without seeing a Korean-inspired cafe. L.A. is so lucky. As a tea lover and yes, an absolute slut for matcha lattes and all the variations that come with that, Picnic was def one of the cafes I had to visit. I'd say it was in my Top 3 of cafes for tea lattes I visited. I am a sucker for a classic matcha latte, but had to go for their seasonal special matcha corn cream top latte. Korea does corn flavors like no other country, and my god it was delicious and such a tasty combo. You know those turtle chip sweet corn flavor or like the pops cereal? That's what it reminded me of. Fantastic consistency and thicc with flavor. FYI Picnic is hella accessible via public transportation. Just a short block/walk from the Metro bus station, I didn't have to deal with parking. The lot is tiny-ish but spacious early in the morning, when I visited. The vibes are minimal with retro-mod energy, clean and design-forward curated pieces like funky seats and neon signs by wavy mirrors. The pastries display case is easy to view, filled with sweet and savory options. The everything danish is fire, and I love that they heat it up to be enjoyed in minutes. Highly rec this cafe for those looking for a lil pick me up with guaranteed high quality ingredients and aesthetic look. There isn't much space for many groups, just a few, and it's less of a study spot for students. Great for catch-up's, grab n go, and convos with your friends/fam. Staff is friendly and efficient! read more

Picnic's making its way to Ktown!!! Much bigger space, more seats, and easier parking; such a win. Also closer for me so I scored another win. It's busy just like any other cafe in the area, but drinks were swiftly ready. Just like the initial outlet, the vibrant color theme was also brought here. Hooked by their Spanish Latte earlier, this time I went for their Ube Matcha. First sip and I could definitely tell it's great quality one, bold and umami. The ube syrup made it more fun but still not overpowering the overall flavor. My husband got their Oat Cold Brew Latte, whose default came sweetened as it featured demerara sugar. Worry not, it's not overly sweet and their coffee was just so so good. read more

I'm a bit sad they took away the double matcha from the menu as it is one of my favorites. (I didn't realize it was a seasonal item). I decided to try their strawberry matcha and was not disappointed. It is the perfect blend and the strawberry doesn't overpower the matcha. The staff is always so friendly here and the cafe is cute, whimsical and has a parking lot! Will continue to return and hope they make the double matcha a permanent menu item one day :) read more

I really liked their drinks! I got a matcha lemonade, it was not too sweet and very refreshing. The matcha itself was not too bitter and I liked how strong the flavor was. The barista who took my order was so nice, especially when I changed my order. The service was also very fast and there was a lot of open seating inside. read more

I just stopped by this coffee shop and I'm honestly obsessed. The interior is so beautifully designed every corner is aesthetic and thoughtfully put together. I ordered a passion fruit tonic with espresso and a matcha mango lemonade, and both were so unique yet surprisingly delicious. The flavors were refreshing, well-balanced, and something you don't come across often. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. Great drinks and such a pretty vibe read more

The pistachio matcha latte is actually really good, and a strong pistachio flavor. I love when you get a good kick of the flavor you asked for. I loved Picnic in silverlake, but just never got around to going back, so I was so so happy when they opened up this new ktown location. I came on a Thursday morning around 9:30am and all the parking spots in the lot were open? The service was super duper kind. Greeted me with a kind hello as soon as I walked through and helped me through which pastry I should order (I got this cheesecake cherry pastry thing--pretty good, well layered). The vibe is super cool. The silverlake location is pretty small but love that this one has more space, and it's sooooo coool. Like Picnic is just a cool girl. Hope to come back soon!! read more

I've visited another one of their locations before, so I was excited when they opened in K-Town. The MATCHA TONIC is one of my favorites--it's a refreshing twist on the usual matcha drinks. Their coffee beverages are excellent as well. Great spot whether you're in the mood for matcha or coffee. ENJOY! PS: Very tight parking lot, and can fill up easily. read more

Tried out Picnic Coffee in Pico-Union! I tried the cherry matcha & iced honey cinnamon cap drinks from their summer menu and their signature vienna espresso latte! The cherry matcha wasn't as great as I thought it would be, it didn't feel as balanced with the earthy taste of the matcha and the sweet taste of the cherry as other fruit flavored matchas I've tried. But I really enjoyed the Iced Honey Cinnamon Cap and the Vienna Latte. The Vienna latte was the show stopper and stand out of this visit, the cream top was amazing. We went on a weekday so there was enough parking and seating for us. But the shopping center is pretty small so I'm not sure if that would be the same on another day. read more

Picnic coffee - Iced matcha latte & Vienna - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is such a cute little coffee shop! We've gone twice while in town and if we lived here this would be the spot. Coffee is tasty, with specialty drinks like Yuzu tonic. Has a variety of pastries both savory and sweet. The music has been top tier both times! I love the disco ball and decor for extra good vibes. The employees are super sweet too and seem to seamlessly switch between speaking English or Korean to different customers! Having a parking lot when that is a rare find in Koreatown makes it even more accessible. If you're in the area looking for a little gem to get your morning caffeine fix, study, meet a friend, whatever- check it out! read more

Great little place with easy free parking and good seating in Koreatown which is key. Also a nice clean bathroom. Service was faster and nicer than usual LA and my iced vienna drink was delicious. The cream top was phenomenal. Price with almond milk is $7. No notes. 10/10. read more

Just checked out this new coffee shop in Koreatown and it's definitely worth a visit! Parking is surprisingly easy, which is a huge plus for the area. The interior is clean, modern, and has a nice minimalist vibe. It's not a large space--probably around 15-20 seats--but it feels cozy rather than cramped. This is actually the same Picnic Coffee from Silver Lake, so if you're familiar with that location, you'll know what to expect in terms of quality. I ordered the Vienna Matcha and really enjoyed it--perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. The matcha had a nice earthy flavor, and the cream on top tied everything together really well. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and my order came out quickly, especially during the morning rush. read more

Picnic coffee - Espresso yuzu Tonic - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cute and colorful coffee spot on a BUSY intersection in ktown, which is great for public transit but terrible for driving. Shared parking lot in the strip mall & street parking if needed. Notably, they don't charge extra for alternative milk. Lots of indoor & outdoor seating, though much more suitable for spending time than working/studying. Corn cream latte - corn cream was delicious, overall a very solid latte. Lavender latte - strong lavender flavor & solid latte. Baristas are sweet & the drinks are good. I'll definitely be returning. read more

We were big fans of Picnic in Silverlake, so we were stoked to find out there was a new location in Ktown! Plenty of free parking in their lot (we went at 9am). Larger than their other location with big glass windows. Aesthetics are on POINT! Same colorful Bauhaus furniture and vibe. More seating, WiFi, and plugs make it accommodating for working. We got the drip (definitely on the better end of filter coffee in LA) and the Spanish latte. Excited to come back! read more

So we stopped here on a whim. Nice chill vibe to do some work. Amazing natural lighting. Now the cherry matcha drink was insanely delicious. Not to mention the Raspberry Fancier out of this world. I didn't know that such a little dessert could be so bold. The service was good as well. read more
