Such a cute coffee shop! I had always walked by Sharp, and I finally visited on a Saturday morning with my friend. I was surprised at how pristine it was. There are a decent amount of tables and and it's definitely a great study space. I got the Honey Cinnamon Latte, and it was truly one of the best lattes I've had. Not too sweet but creamy and great cinnamon flavor. We also got the S'mores donut, which had such cute Teddy Grahams on it. It was pretty decadent and sweet but such a good little breakfast treat. It truly feels like a cafe in Korea. The staff members are really nice and I'm excited to come back and try their other drinks. read more

i love their iced lattes. the cream top mocha is also delicious! iced matcha is decent but tbh i'm sticking with the coffee since that's their # specialty their baristas are also iconic!! i always receive excellent customer service, and consistently delicious coffee. true coffee angels it's spacious inside, plenty of seating, free water jug, i simply can't complain read more

I really enjoyed this coffee shop. Great vibe for studying with outlets available at every table which was a huge plus. Coffee tastes great and workers were super friendly. Only con was parking since you have to find street parking or pay for parking at a nearby garage. Overall, would come back again! read more

This coffee shop has a lot of really unique specialty lattes! They also have a great assortment of baked goods and the staff is incredibly friendly. Honey Cinnamon Latte: 9/10 This latte is very good and not too sweet. If you like lattes with a hint of sweetness this one is great. The espresso is strong too. Spanish Latte: 9/10 Very sweet latte but that's how I like it! The sweetener in this is unique though with the condensed milk. So I really enjoyed it. They also do a cream top option for some lattes and it has almond extract in it. Overall great option for coffee. It is pretty expensive especially if you want to change the milk ($1) it adds up. read more

My favorite item here is the Spanish Latte. I always get it when I come. You can't go wrong with it. For $5.50 (08/2023), you can't beat that for freshly brewed espresso. Their items are quite affordable. I ordered 3x Spanish lattes and the order was completed in under 5 mins. Pretty impressive. I went on a Friday afternoon and it was completely full. It's kind of annoying because people space themselves out and there's no seating. But I see the allure. It's dimly lit with natural light and quiet, which is desirable. read more

I LOVE! Coming to this shop to study and spend hours on end getting everything done! great quiet work place, music is always on but never overpowering, food/drinks are delicious, staff is super friendly. My boyfriend and I love trying all the different drinks. Great restaurants surrounding this cafe too in case you get hungry during studying. Street parking is okay, parking in front is only acceptable until 4pm, you are better off parking in the residential and walking to it. Not a bad-ish area. Not to mention it's comfortable and spacious. Outlets are super accessible! Yippie! read more

Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting this charming coffee shop, and it was an exceptional experience. The ambiance is perfectly crafted, offering a serene yet vibrant atmosphere. The music volume is just right, creating an inviting background that enhances rather than distracts. The highlight of my visit was the lavender latte, which was simply outstanding. Its unique flavor profile was both soothing and refreshing, making it a memorable beverage. This, coupled with the conducive environment, made my study session highly productive. For those in search of a coffee shop that marries exquisite flavors with a setting that promotes focus and relaxation, this is the place. The lavender latte alone is worth the visit! read more

Sharp Specialty Coffee - Lavender Oatmilk Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cafe Guidelines Price : fair, I got the iced americano which was 4.75 and the latte is less than 7$ so I think it is reasonably priced. Taste : I actually really loved their iced americano, I thought the coffee quality was good. They also had fun desserts that I haven't tried but It looks tasty, so I would try it next time. Seating : there is a decent amount of seating and a decent amount of chargers. Its a good place to do work. Ambiance: the interior is very warm-toned toned, the music isn't too loud but the cafe was a little chilly so maybe bring a jacket. Would Def come again. read more

I left my breakfast at home on a sleepy Monday & needed a pick-me-up, STAT. I walked to Sharp Coffee in search of saving from the Monday morning blues. This shop is so cute and clean inside. Industrial vibes, good music, and cool air. The barista was patient with me while I fumbled through figuring out what I wanted & promptly provided liquid gold in the form of a cold brew. The cold brew is bold and flavorful. I learned that food isn't available until after 12- so avo toast, I'll be back for you. read more

This is the rudest barista I've ever seen in my life. "Does your cafe have a special drink?" "What's in your X drink?" She gave arrogant answers to my questions such as: I chose it because it was a quiet place to study, but I will never come again. read more

Sharp Specialty Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love the cozy vibes here! I'm such a huge fan of the dark wood and metal , open ambiance of this place. It doesn't feel too crowded like some places that just shoves in as many seats as possible, but it is a gamble to see if you can get a spot here! I personally really appreciate that even the window-facing seats have a spacious table. ((: The coffee was really yummy! The iced americano had some acidity with a little sweet note, fyi for the nutty caramelly americano fans. The spanish latte was to die for, not too sweet but just perfectly sweet enough with the espresso, condensed milk, and cinnamon perfectly blended together. It was quiet when I came but the coffee grinding noise can be a bit loud, perfect noise level imo. I'd come here any day with a little work (there are outlets) or with a friend!! read more

I walk by Sharp on my way to H-Mart. It has a small entrance but when you enter, you will see how spacious it is. It's rectangular- stretches out. There's several community styled benches with tables. I've never stayed and had coffee here, but everytime I've stopped by, it's full of people working on their laptops. They have Spanish lattes here too. They put an actual cinnamon stick inside the drink. I've also tried their matcha lattes. Overall, their drinks are nice but not particularly memorable. Staff is nice and I've never had to wait particularly long for my drinks. read more

I asked for recommendations, and it was cold brew, strawberry milk. They are both very good. Coffee is more like fruity tastes, and strawberry milk is just the right sweetness. read more

really good study spot! My friends and I were lucky to have found parking a block down. We stayed here for about 4 hours getting work done on Sunday (2 pm - 6:30 pm) There were limited spaces when we first got here. The 4 of us were able to move around throughout our study session to sit together within an hour. Strawberry milk is really yummy! I would def come here to study and get it again if I were in the area. read more

I was looking for a coffeeshop in Ktown to study at and decided to try Sharp Coffee! The interior is homey and decorated with lots of plants. There is plenty of seating and also dividers at each table so that you have your own space. I decided to try their spanish latte which is their espresso with condensed milk and a cinammon stick. The flavors paired pretty well together, and the coffee taste was strong. They also have outlets and a restroom, so it's a great study spot! read more

This is a perfect study spot for the following reasons: they don't play music too loud, there is good wifi and outlets and they have large table space. It is a bit cold so bring a jacket. I got the strawberry milk and the pesto ham and cheese sandwich. I wasn't that big of a fan of the sandwich - I feel like it was a bit overpriced and something that could be easily replicated at home. However, their strawberry milk is SO WORTH. I think it's my favorite one that I've had. read more

One of the best coffee shops in Koreatown. Sharp Specialty Coffee is an aesthetic yet unpretentious cafe with ample seating and table space. An ideal location for getting work done. They brew fresh coffee from Coava, a roaster that sources single origin beans, and their bakery case was well stocked with treats from Bread Lounge. They offer fresh donuts as well. I was struggling to choose a drink from their signature menu, so the kind barista suggested their Mocha. It was exceptional. I anticipated a sweet drink, but this was more of an 80% dark chocolate vibe, with bold cocoa flavor that enhanced the flavors of the espresso. Served in a pint glass, every sip was a treat. I look forward to returning. read more

I wasn't a huge fan of the drinks but the environment for getting work done and studying here is great

This spot is in ktown. Parking is mainly street parking and you have to get lucky to get a spot. I did see some parking structures close by. This seems like a good spot to study and/or catch up with some friends. They have free wifi and password is by the register. We had the Hot Spanish Latte, Iced Vanilla Latte, and the hot Matcha Latte with oat milk. Matcha powder is already sweetened. Coffee and Tea were okay. Staff were nice and moved quickly. They also had pastries for sale by the register. They have one gender neutral bathroom. read more

Overcharged me (9$!) for my drink, almost put regular milk instead of non-dairy in it, and the coffee itself was mid. Two stars for nice interior but I wouldn't recommend getting anything. read more

Their strawberry milk is so good!! It doesn't taste overly milky and heavy or sweet which is of course always a bonus! Service is fast and their is ample seating. It's honestly just perfect for studying. It's quiet too. Only con is parking. It's ktown so parking is a pain. If you can find street, find street. Otherwise valet nearby is the only other option. read more

I've been coming here regularly for for the past couple of years and it always a good experience The coffee is really good. I usually (well more like always) get the Iced Honey Cinnamon Latte which they make perfectly every time. The service is always great too from everyone I've seen here, very friendly and welcoming. The place has some very good ambiance as they have plenty of tables to chill and work/study at, in addition to the bar at the very front that are facing the windows. They play music too but it's not too loud and I think adds to the ambiance. You can definitely get in the zone working/studying here. Definitely a place worth checking out! read more

The place itself is good, there are outlets and big tables, the ambiance is nice. And the opening hours. But the quality and prices for drinks got downhill. I went there every month for the past year and I think the drinks are just not worth 7$. I ordered hot capuccino with whole milk and it was 7.50$??? Wtf. There are other coffee shops in ktown that are a LOT BETTER in all criteria. read more

Pretty cool and quiet coffee shop in K-Town. Overall vibe seems very relaxed and not many people are talking/interacting. Looks like more a study space than an actually "sip and chat" or "first date" kind of space. Not sure if that's how it is during the day, but that was my impression when I went on a Saturday night. Drink selection was very solid. I ended up getting a shmancy drink called the Cloudy Mint. Reminded me of a Mint Mojito from Philz Coffee. Overall very delicious but definitely overpriced. However, I'm just glad that I was able to get some shelter and a nice drink to escape the rain. read more

It's a Ktown Café so we had high expectations but Coffee isn't anything new or surprising. I got the honey cinnamon latte with oat and it's pretty standard. Ambience is very work driven. Most tables are taken by people doing work including myself, the wifi is pretty fast and there are outlets. There are also a good amount of large tables to share with other people. But no outdoor seating. Parking is difficult. There is a parking structure on the side but they only validate for 30 minutes. We drove around to find street parking instead. read more

Sharp specialty coffee shop is quite sharp and quite special!! The parking is difficult on a Saturday afternoon but the drinks are delicious and the atmosphere is impeccable. I had a matcha latte and it had the perfect amount of sweetness. The price was standard (around $6). The shop was quiet and had lots of people doing work on laptops. It had a clean bathroom and great lighting. Worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

What is a gal to do when a Spectrum Technician tells her that her internet is dead at home? I mean like the wire is bad and a specialist needs to replace the wire that runs from my fourth floor apartment to the basement. We are talking about wires that run inside walls. You will be seeing lots of check-ins at coffee spots with wifi from me until this is fixed. I had gone to Sharp Specialty Coffee before and liked it, so I packed up my MacBook Air and headed over. It was somewhat packed when I arrived, but I scored a good seat. Ordered Lavender Latte and it was delicious. No complaints there. Vibe? This isn't one of those "let's get coffee together, chat and hangout" spots. It is quiet with communal tables setup with clear partitions. The partitions are not visually intrusive, so no star deduction. It is a kind of place to bring your laptop to work or study. Service? You order at a counter and pick-up at another counter. The staff are usually friendly and I honestly don't recall a bad incident. So why a star deduction? While the shop has been somewhat maintained over the years, the restroom can use some TLC. Nearest Metro Station: Red and Purple Lines at Wilshire/Vermont Station While in the area: Stop by Chapman Market\Plaza with Shibuyala, restaurants and other shops. read more

Highly recommend the Oreo Crungji and a couple of specialty coffees according to your taste. Great place to come for a little snack and coffee in the morning. The Crungji tasted like a large almond cookie with cream and Oreo on top. Maybe honey and a some other things that made it taste yummy. read more

Overall great experience. Really great matcha and ube latte, a lot of uniqueness there. The hot spanish latte was really good but the iced one did not absorb the cinnamon flavor as much so it was a bit lackluster. Pricing was fair at around $6 for each drink. If you're looking for a great study spot, definitely go here. There's a good amount of outlets and tables and free wifi! Parking a little tricky but there are some meters in the front and a parking lot around it for $10 read more

This review is purely for the ambiance of this cafe. I was looking for a place to do some reading, just reading, no laptop work. The cafe was almost filled to the brim when I came on a Saturday afternoon. While there was no line to wait for drinks, all the tables were filled with some empty seats between people on laptops. After a couple minutes of observing, I thought this wasn't my scene for the afternoon. The industrial vibe - metal seats, dim lighting, and loud chatter - made this place a no-go for comfortable, cozy reading. read more

Cute hidden place to study! It's really spacious inside and there are outlets with USB ports along the wall too. Wifi is strong and service is good. Spanish latte was a little too strong for my taste but strawberry milk was really good. It wasn't too sweet and was actually pretty addicting. Parking sucks because it's in the heart of ktown where Oakobing, Hangari Kalguksoo, BCD, and Louders are located. I managed to street park somewhat close by but probably because I went earlier in the day. Would recommend but just be aware that parking may be a struggle. read more

Great little spot to do work at and I recommend the strawberry milk and ube latte (seasonal) if you're not a coffee drinker. Drinks are pricy which are around $7-10 depending on milk and other add-ons. There's no point of asking for light ice because they give you less drink which sucks for those who are slow sippers. There usually is seating but it's a hit or miss and there may or may not be plugs where you sit, so come with charged laptops. read more

My only regret is that I didn't find this place sooner. It's a really clean, quiet, pleasant coffeeshop in the heart of Koreatown with absolutely unbelievable coffee. Whether you want handmade drip coffee with quality beans or a sweet coffee drink, this place has got you covered. I had the new special, the "cloudy mint cold brew" (or something close, I can't remember the exact name) and it was probably the best coffee drink I've ever had in my life. Can't wait to come back and try more. read more

Amazing coffee. Far better than nearby Alchemist. The space is still a much more pleasant place to sit and talk, work, etc. The service is excellent. What's dropped? No food. A bunch of walnut muffins are lovely. Too bad that I'm allergic to walnuts. Croissant? No. Anything non-muffin? No. I understand that COVID has really impacted everyone. You can't sell what you don't have, though. A threadbare cupboard of morning baked goods doesn't say survivor. It says "we've surrendered." Sad. read more
