I went to Damo around 2pm on a weekend, and the line was already starting to form out the door…read more Unfortunately, the line takes up a majority of the cafe space, along with the few sitting tables, so it was pretty difficult to find a spot to wait for my drink after ordering. The pickup area can also get blocked by the line or waiting area, which can make it a little awkward when you're trying to reach over someone to grab your drink. I ordered the Coconut Hojicha and the Matcha Einspanner. The Coconut Hojicha was refreshing, nutty, and definitely the standout of the two. It's such a fun twist on the typical matcha coconut drink, and I have to give Damo their flowers for creating something that feels unique. The Matcha Einspanner wasn't particularly stand-out compared to some of the other cafes in K-Town, but it was still a well-balanced drink with a nice mix of bitterness, sweetness, and creaminess. I can definitely see why so many people consider Damo one of their favorite cafes. Despite the crowded setup, the drinks are creative and thoughtfully done!

Nice coffee shop in K-Town. There's valet parking available in the shared plaza, though the plaza…read morewas pretty busy when we visited. I really enjoyed the coffee here. Lots of interesting choices. The drinks were well balanced and not overly sweet, so you could actually taste the coffee instead of having it covered up by syrups or other flavors. The coffee itself was smooth, with no harsh or overly bitter aftertaste. I also liked that the flavors complemented the coffee rather than overpowering it. Loved the honey lavender matcha and peanut coffee. The drinks were beautifully presented too, so they looked just as good as they tasted. Overall, a really enjoyable coffee experience and definitely a place I'd come back to try more drinks.

i visited RNY coffee studio on a friday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by how mellow and…read morerelaxed it felt compared to other cafes i visited in ktown! the cafe created a great space for heads down work and casual conversation. there is one unisex restroom, stable wifi, and plenty of seating, including chairs at the counter connected to the coffee bar and a large sofa. the hojicha i ordered seemed promising with its deep, rich color, but it ended up being a bit too milky for my liking. 7/10 valet parking in the plaza was available, but i opted for metered parking.

And they are so sweet and do not rush anyone, you can stay here as long as you want. My friends and I WFH so we decided to Work From MemoryLook (WFML) one day together. I'm glad we did! Great pastries in the morning, i had the cremme brûlée donut which had tons of filling, and the pea foam matcha latte which was fantastic. And I had an EXCELLENT chicken Chipotle wrap at lunch that was recommended to me by the gentleman working at memory look. I'm not certain where these wraps are made. Another gentleman would bring them from the building in the same complex. I LOVED my wrap. They have a ton of seating outside too but there aren't any outlets out there so it's harder to WFH out there unless you're fully charged. But was great for separate meetings we all had to attend. The photobooth was fun but we were so thrown off by it taking 8 photos, we had no idea how many poses we would have to come up with hahaha. I would definitely come back here anytime!

solid coffee spot in ktown! biggest perk memorylook has over other ktown coffee shops is definitely…read morethe free parking lot. literally won me over & the reason i chose this shop to get some work done. i definitely think they could add more indoor seating - there's plenty of outdoor / patio tables but when it's hot in LA it's not a suitable option esp with a laptop that already overheats lol. also the chairs are pretty uncomfy after sitting in it for awhile, but can't have it all LOL. The interior was very cool monochrome vibes - when you first walk in thru the parking lot there's sunglasses on display (i assume for sale?) & the memory look photo booth. i ordered the coconut matcha aka my go to drink. order came out quickly! i liked the toasted coconut flakes they add on top of the matcha foam. Solid drink & i loved how creamy it was. i will be back when i need to get stuff done or just enjoy a third space to read !

Earl Grey Matcha Duo (10/10) - genuinely the best earl grey matcha i've ever had the earl grey and…read morematcha balance is perfect where it is 60% earl grey and 40% matcha Mango Coconut Matcha (7.5/10) - very refreshing and tastes amazing on a hot day but my only complaint is that the mango pieces are too big to fit on the straws that they have so you end up having bits of mango stuck to the bottom and getting stuck on your straw Matcha Macadamia Cookie (5/10) - the matcha flavor is there but it's very dry and messy to eat and I would not recommend spending $5 on it Parking - there's a parking structure connected but it can be very hard to find parking and street parking is difficult to find as well and you might need to drive a block or two to get a good spot Seating - there's not a lot of seating since it is very busy so I would recommend staying outside if it is packed inside

4.5/5 Definitely one of my top 10 matcha spots in LA!…read more I've tried both the Matcha Duo and Ube Matcha and the cream here is SO SO SO good. Any of their cream tops are honestly perfection and probably what makes the drink for me. The matcha itself is rich, creamy, and really smooth. I wouldn't necessarily say it's super strong, but it's definitely not weak either. It doesn't have as much of that bitter/earthy matcha taste. The drinks do lean on the sweeter side, which is kind of a dilemma for me because the cream is SO good, but it also takes away from the matcha a little. I love the cream and wouldn't want less of it, but I do wish the matcha came through a bit more. Additionally, the cup is pretty small And getting matcha here is honestly a whole DEDICATED JOURNEY. Parking, waiting in line, waiting for your drink... you have to really want that matcha. But I would 100% come back. Despite the journey and the small cup, Rōk is still easily one of my favorite matcha spots in LA.

The outdoor seating area was spacious and parking was easy. It was a good place to hang out with a friend. They also have bakery items. It's a nice place if you're looking for coffee and something to eat.

I ordered the whipped honey latte with almond milk, and it came iced. I asked for light whip. Unfortunately for me, it was way too milky, even when asking for light whip on top. The coffee flavor just did not come through enough for me. I probably should've went with a cold brew. The coffee was also $9. Overpriced, especially for me not to like it.

Stopped by this coffee shop in the heart of Koreatown for a quick coffee pickup. They have valet…read moreparking, but since I was only running in and out, I didn't need to valet. The valet staff were really nice about it. The café has a cool industrial vibe with exposed ceilings, concrete floors, warm lighting, and some unique vintage touches. It definitely has more character than your typical modern coffee shop. They also have a good selection of pastries, cookies, and other baked goods. I ordered an Espresso Tonic and an Iced Americano. The Espresso Tonic was really refreshing and had a nice citrusy kick. I enjoyed the flavor, but the portion was surprisingly small, which was a little disappointing. The staff inside were friendly and nice as well. Overall, I liked the coffee, service, and atmosphere. I'd definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

This was my second time visiting Stagger, and they're definitely a great spot for matcha lovers!…read more Last time I tried their Double Matcha, and this time I went with the Matcha Coconut. It was refreshing, smooth, and not overly sweet, which I really enjoyed. Price-wise, it's pretty comparable to other popular matcha spots. The interior was clean, tidy, and had a nice modern feel, and the staff were friendly as well. One thing to keep in mind is that there isn't a lot of seating, so it may be better for grabbing a drink to go when it gets busy. Overall, another good experience, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their matcha drinks!

What I Ordered: Cream Top Coffee ($6.75)…read moreDouble Matcha ($7.75) Food: Double Matcha was absolutely amazing! One of the best matcha drinks I have ever had. It is definitely on the sweeter end, so make sure you ask to change the sweetness level if that's not what you prefer. The Matcha Cream top was creamy, foamy, and sweet. Make sure you drink from the sippy lid so that you can get the cream top and the matcha latte at the same time through each sip. The barista also recommended that I use the sippy lid and not the straw. Cream Top Coffee was an americano with a vanilla cream top. To be honest, I didn't really enjoy this drink too much. I think that the cream top coffees should be made with lattes and not americanos as they tend to not mix well together. It tasted like a watered down vanilla latte for me. Everyone has different taste buds, and that was what I personally felt! Staff: Service was quick and staff members were friendly. Ambiance: Indoor and outdoor seating available. Valet parking for the plaza is available, but you may be able to find street parking for free as well.

Visited Maru Coffee in LA last year (finally got around to leave a review!). The interior is sleek,…read morewarm, and cozy, though seating is minimal and it gets super packed inside, making it strictly a grab n go situation for us. Matcha Latte: loved it, You can tell they use high grade matcha. It was incredibly creamy with a velvety, smooth finish, easily one of the best matches I've had. Spiced Cold Brew: Concentrated cold brew mixed with a cinnamon and chili-infused sweetened milk. My friend ordered this out of curiosity. While the chili element wasn't quite my personal preference, its a unique profile & the subtle spice surprisingly pairs quite well with the cinnamon. If you're a matcha lover, definitely add this spot to your list!

Came here with my sister and her boyfriend to try their breakfast sliders and drinks! It was my…read morefirst day in California, so I was super excited. We waited in line for about 45 minutes to an hour, only to find out that they ran out of sliders. We were incredibly disappointed. I wish they could have put up a sign of some sort to let everyone know they ran out. However, the place itself was nice, and I did end up getting a latte. I loved the latte, so that made up for the missing sliders to some degree. Although the latte was good, I don't see myself coming back due to the long wait and them being prone to running out of goods.

I've been to Community Goods a handful of times now, and my opinion has always stayed the same:…read morethis place is absolutely worth the hype. The lines can be incredibly long. I've had visits where I waited over an hour and others where I was in and out in under 10 minutes. From my experience, the best time to go is in the middle of the week between 11 am and 3 pm. The shop itself is very small, so when it gets busy, the line often wraps outside. Parking is also street parking, and you may have to park farther down and walk over during peak times. Despite the crowds, the staff is always friendly and works quickly for the amount of people they're serving. My favorites are the Matcha Einspanner and Hojicha Einspanner with whole milk. Both are SO smooth with strong tea flavors. The matcha leans nutty, which I love, while the hojicha has such a rich, earthy flavor. This is genuinely one of the best places I've had matcha and hojicha, and I've tried a lot of both. The Breakfast Sliders are another favorite and absolutely worth getting if you make it before they stop serving them. They're delicious on their own, but the sauces that come with them make them even better. No matter how busy Community Goods gets, I always find myself coming back whenever I'm in the area. If you love matcha or hojicha, this is an absolute must-try.
