    black sesame latte, coconut matcha, matcha duo, hojicha duo
    Jocelyn Y.

    Guys, i'm a loyal rok fan. I love all the drinks i've tried except two that i tried this time - black sesame latte (chunky bits of sesame, texture threw me off) - hojicha duo (too thick and sweet despite asking for 50% sweetness. would probably get just hojicha) However, at rok i do recommend: - lotus latte (50% sweetness) - coconut matcha - matcha duo Service friendly and i absolutely LOVE the outdoor seating - especially at night. Great place to sit, chat, enjoy the music and drinks. Would come again to order my favorites!

    Matcha Duo

    First place I had proper matcha and it did not disappoint. Definitely on the stronger side but I liked the taste. The drink was not watery luckily and the amount of the ice they put in was just right. The store as a cool vibe and is usually pretty busy so do expect to wait 10-20 min in line. The employees are very kind and the store ambiance is pretty cool. Parking is all along the street. Will come back again to try the einspanner or the strawberry/mango matcha.

    Strawberry matcha and mango matcha
    Kreng K.

    Aesthetically pleasing (specially the giant tree in the middle of the seating area), amazing customer service and probably one of the best matcha drinks I've ever had. So far, I've tried their matcha duo, strawberry matcha and mango matcha and they were all phenomenal. Matcha duo was strong but very well-balanced as far as the flavor profile. Same thing for their strawberry matcha. The mango matcha was good but I do like my mango to be on the sweeter side like a manila mango would taste like. Overall, their matcha is so rich and creamy and I will definitely be back for other flavors or for the same ones (matcha duo and strawberry matcha). Lol! FYI, no parking garage so it would only be a street parking, which can be a nightmare. The line is almost always long but it goes by pretty quickly.

    Rok Café has many locations in Ktown. This location specifically was within walking distance of Hangari Kulguksu where I was having dinner, and close to the HMart, but in the plaza next to it, tuck behind a Kbbq restaurant. My boyfriend discovered Rok when he went to eat with a friend. They had some coupon for Rok with their meal, so they decided to check it out after. Well he reallyyyyy likes it, since he actually wanted to come back. My boyfriend had the Chestnut Latte ($7.50) and I had the Black Sesame Latte ($7.50). They also sold pastries and I saw what looked like a Kouign Amman ($6.25) labelled as a Kanebullar. I pointed to it to order. Then the kid was like yeah that's a Kouign Amman. Bro I know... your label doesn't. Then he struggled to find it in the system and needed someone else to help him. Lacking critical thinking. Just ring me up for something of the similar value or manually enter it. It's not that hard. Then you basically wait for them to prepare your drink. With their business front like a stand with some covered patio seating, which seems to be shared with the plaza, we went and secured seating while we waited. When it was ready, I notice they like to sprinkle toppings for an artistic touch, and then you can place the lid yourself. I went to get the drinks cause I wanted pictures. I knew the walk from the counter to our table would make the lattes less perfect looking. As for the drink itself... on me sesame latte I didn't really taste the sesame... but that worked out for me because their sesame was really gritty. I enjoyed my drink until I got to the bottom. The cups here are the sipping type cups. Had I liked the flavor I would have been disappointed I didn't taste it until the end. If this was a straw drink it would be better to mix up and integrate. My boyfriend's chestnut latte was better than my sesame latte. The Kouign Amman was bigger than other ones I've seen, but not in a good way. It lacked the flakey layerness and edges I enjoy in a Kouign Amman. Would not get this here next time. I would be willing to come back and give them another try, and try different drinks, if I was already in the area. I do think they are pricey for the small cup size and less than flawless execution.

    Rok Coffee and Tea, located in Koreatown, was a spot I visited after dinner with a few friends. This place claims to be the best, and I can say it does taste pretty darn good! There's no parking so park in the garage and they have valet there. That's a little sad but I guess since we are in LA that happens a lot. We didn't have to wait that long but I did see photos of this place being quite busy and after that I did notice a line forming later in the night. We ordered our drinks and got to sit at the tables that they have inside. I ordered a matcha with coconut juice. This was really refreshing and nice. They also have a photo booth that takes free photos for you! Overall fun experience and it is pretty good!!! Would get this spot if I were in Ktown all the time!

    As a matcha lover, previously having thought stagger, damo, and open market were the best matcha... may have found my new favorite matcha place! Located next to a kbbq shop, if coming from wilshire you need to go up the stairs pretending you're going to the hmart market food court along the side you can see boiling crab.... You'll find this cute shop and an outdoor seating area! The matcha duo is dare I say just as good if not better than staggers? It's so smooth and the 3 times I've been, there's no matcha grains that fall to the bottom... it's always perfectly prepared! But the drink that I really come for is the coconut matcha einspanner... I never thought of putting matcha cream on top of coconut water and now I cannot stop! This place is gonna take all my money! Love walking here in the morning and kind of want to give a lower review because I don't want it to get crowded!

    I will compare every matcha to this matcha- this is a 5/5. Delicious, not too sweet, fast service, nice seating, and worth the drive to LA

    Mara S.

    This place was delicious. Definitely one of the best matches I've had in LA. The service is great, the vibes are good, and they're open really late. I got some sort of cookie butter strawberry Matcha, and it was really good, but it was super sweet. I honestly think the flavors were really well balanced, and nothing was overtaking the other. I had it at like 9 PM as a sweet treat, so for me it was fine that it was sweet. I knew what I was getting into the Matcha taste is great, and it tastes like its really good quality. There's a reason why they're so popular!

    Coconut milk matcha
    Raquel L.

    My niece took mere here when we were in LA. She said it has the best matcha drink and she was right! We ordered the coconut milk matcha and it tasted perfect! By far the best matcha I have had in Southern California. I'm just sad that it located about a little over an hour from where I live. The building/pad is located in the corner (see photo). There is quite a bit of seating inside and is clean. The only negative comment I can really point out is the parking situation. It's not easy. I had to keep driving around the block until I could find a spot as it is all street parking in a relatively busy area.

    I visited this new rok location in Ktown and my experience here was good. I got the Matcha Duo which was pretty tasty. I enjoyed the creamy and flavorful cream top. The matcha itself was solid, but the blend used was a bit dry. I wished they used fresher matcha powder when making this drink. My friend also really enjoyed her strawberry matcha duo, but also agreed with the matcha being a bit dry. I also really like the ambiance of this location. It's fully outdoors with outdoor seating and tables. The setup is pretty nice and a good place to relax. I also like the fresh plants and seeing the staff take care of them. It's good that they opened up another location in Ktown to ease the line at the original location, but I hope they can stay consistent with the drink quality in the future.

    Coconut water matcha  Blueberry matcha duet
    Eubene K.

    Came in after dinner Loved how sleek the store was Staff was super friendly! Asked the gentleman with glasses what he'd recommend and he actually recommended a banger I was hesitant with the combo of coconut water and matcha but I throughly enjoyed it! Was super well balanced and my new favorite! I really wanted to get another because coconut water from the store is easily 8 dollars But at least here you get that matcha too! For sure will be back

    Came here on a Sunday morning around 11am and the line was around 15 mins. I was able to find street parking walking distance. The cafe was nice and a bit loud when I was there but it's nice to have a quick hangout here. The black sesame latte and limited mugwort latte caught my eye but neither could their sweetness be adjusted. Instead I got the matcha duo at the lowest sugar level. Overall I really liked the velvety texture of the matcha and the cloud top was delicious. I find that their sweetness level was a tiny tiny bit sweeter than what I like otherwise but it's no big deal. Without the straw though, I found it a bit hard to drink both the cloud foam and the matcha latte at once. Will go back.

    mango matcha duo, matcha duo, blueberry matcha duo
    Eliana S.

    Order: mango matcha duo (oat), matcha duo(oat), blueberry matcha duo Highlights: - fast service - the mango matcha was quite sweet but it paired very good with the matcha - the cream top was amazing and quite thick - the matcha duo was solid and has a deep flavor cons: - there is always a line! - the blueberries in the blueberry matcha could have been a bit more puréed - with a milk sub each drink was around ~$9 overall: I would visit again if I was in the area, the cream top was absolutely amazing, highly recommend the mango matcha!

BUT what I've been absolutely obsessed with lately is their Jasmine Matcha. I constantly find myself coming back specifically for this drink. The balance between the jasmine and matcha is PERFECT. You get that floral, fragrant jasmine flavor while still being able to distinctly taste the matcha, and neither one overpowers the other. Parking is also surprisingly easy for LA! I've usually been able to find street parking nearby, so I personally wouldn't bother spending the extra money on valet. I will say this probably isn't the best place if you're looking for somewhere quiet to study. There are constantly people coming in and out and it can get pretty noisy and busy inside. I'd come here more to grab a drink and catch up with someone than to lock in for a study session. The Double Matcha may be the classic, but the Jasmine Matcha is what keeps me coming back. If you're a jasmine matcha person, GET THIS ONE!!

If that's the case, this is clearly something the business needs to address. Their Yelp listing is still directing customers to DoorDash, creating confusion about what they actually offer and where they can order from. Mistakes happen, but there was absolutely no reason for the front employee to be so dismissive or condescending when I was simply trying to order something that their own Yelp listing indicated was available. Updating the DoorDash information would be a good start, and so would treating customers with a little more courtesy.

The beef and asada empanadas disappeared embarrassingly fast. We probably should've ordered more. And can we take a moment to appreciate the parking lot? Finding parking in Silver Lake without circling the block 47 times feels like winning a small lottery. We had no trouble finding a spot. Come for the ube latte, stay for the ensaymada, and leave wondering why you didn't order a second empanada.
