First time I went here, it was suuuuper good but I think it fell off. The double matcha was pretty good but a little sweet and not as creamy. I think that community goods is better:( The hojicha latte had a great flavor but it was really grainy? idk maybe I got a bad batch. It's beautiful inside though but seats are limited, and when I went on the weekend the line was wayyyy outside and lining the parking lot, but when I went on a Wednesday, there was no line and the drinks were made like 1 second after ordering! read more

I went early-ish and there were still available parking spots in the parking lot but I find parking on the street is more convenient. However, the streets are dirty (at least when I went) and I wouldn't recommend going in flip flops or sandals (like I did). There were broken glass and thick substances on the ground that you don't want to step in, etc. Let's just say I was very careful where I stepped and I walked very slowly. Anyways, service was phenomenal. I was greeted right away and surprisingly there was no line. I got the double matcha and it was good. Inside is very spacious and aesthetically pleasing. read more

Stagger Coffee - Double Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What was once a rundown laundromat has been completely reimagined into one of Koreatown's hottest matcha cafés. I truly applaud the owners for their BOLD VISION of transforming the landscape of this neighborhood and attracting a wave of trendy, young professionals. We visited on a Sunday afternoon, and the place was PACKED. The black-and-white interior, accented with minimalist decor, creates a sleek and modern vibe--though seating is limited. All the seats were taken when we arrived, so we waited for a spot to open up. We ordered their BEST SELLER: MATCHA served over ice with sweet cream. The verdict - Wow, this is hands down the BEST matcha I've ever had! I've made matcha at home before, and this café's version is on another level. If you're curious and willing to splurge on an $8 beverage, I'd say it's absolutely worth the trip. read more

Stagger Coffee - Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I finally tried Stagger a few months ago and honestly... I feel like I've been missing out this whole time. I'd heard so many good things about it, but I was low-key hesitant because I thought it might be overhyped. Proud to report: it's officially become my go-to matcha spot whenever I'm in K-town! What I tried: Double Matcha Latte -- 4.5/5 I expected their Double Matcha to be super sweet, but it was perfect. Definitely on the sweeter side, but the sweetness works so well with the creaminess. I got mine with oat milk (of course), and it added even more richness to the matcha. And that cream top?? To die for. I literally caught myself trying to sip it through the lid instead of using the straw. Hojicha Creamtop -- 4/5 If you love deeper, toastier flavors, this one is for you. Their hojicha is smooth, aromatic, and pairs beautifully with the rich cream top. I still prefer the Double Matcha, but the Hojicha Creamtop is such a solid alternative if you want something different! Vibe: Stagger is tucked in the corner of a plaza right in the heart of K-town. Parking can be a little chaotic, but they do offer valet for $3, or you might get lucky with street parking. There was a line when I went, but it moved quickly. Plenty of seating inside, and a lot of people were posted up studying or working. Also, the cute mirror at the entrance is the perfect spot for a quick pic or check-in. read more

I've been to Stagger a few times now and it's definitely a spot that lives up to the hype. Each time I've gone, there's been a line out the door, but it goes by pretty quickly and the drinks make it worth it. I've tried the regular hojicha as well as the double hojicha when it came out, and both were really tasty. My friends have gotten the double matcha and they also say it's pretty top tier. The aesthetic inside is also nice and a cute spot to study- just bring noise cancelling headphones. There's some seating outside if you want some fresh air. Overall, definitely a fun and cozy coffee spot to hang out at! Also parking is valet (on the weekends, not sure about weekdays) and it's either $3 cash or $4 if you pay by Venmo or Zelle, street parking is free if you get lucky. read more

I've seen a lot of hype for this spot on social media, and since I'm a big matcha fan, I had to check it out. Came on a Saturday and the line was out the door, but it moved pretty fast. I picked up a double matcha, and the quality was really good. Not too sweet and had a nice, clean flavor. The café itself is very aesthetic and a nice place to hang out or chat with friends. The only downside is that the matcha drinks are on the smaller side, so if you care about portion size for the price, it might not feel worth it. Overall, still a great treat and worth trying if you love matcha. read more

This place always has such a long line out the door! Thankfully when we came, the line was only a few people out the door. The line moves pretty quickly though, with people ordering their drinks and picking up their drinks within a few minutes. Staff was super friendly both times I came here and took the time to answer my questions about their drinks. The shop itself is spacious, but since its always packed, can get a little crowded and not the best place to study/do work. I noticed there was a separate side patio area with seating too. Parking can be difficult - we don't even bother trying the parking lot. Instead we drive around the streets and walk maybe 2 blocks (which is pretty normal for Ktown) Their double matcha is just unbeatable. Perfectly matcha-y and creamy, but not too bitter. I'm a savage a like to mix it and drink it with a straw (I think you're supposed to just sip it). If I'm in the area and I'm craving a non-coffee, non-boba drink, I will be here (if I have extra time on my hands). read more

I rarely come to Koreatown but since I was in the area, I felt like it made sense to finally try Stagger to see what the hype was about. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of coming on the day of their one year anniversary, so the line was longer than usual. The line moved somewhat quickly though and they were doing a BOGO for their double matcha. The double matcha was really good; I only wish their serving size was bigger, especially for the price you're paying. Overall, high quality matcha but I'd say OC has equally good matcha... read more

It was mandatory for me to try a matcha spot while in LA. I've seen this place trending and was expecting a long line, but surprisingly it was a quick wait and our drinks came out FAST. It was my first time trying a Double Matcha and I finished it so quick! The matcha was creamy but the milk wasn't overpowering where it messed with the taste. I loved how thick the matcha foam was! My friends got Matcha Coconut and I might have to opt for that next time! The coconut water was sweet, but works for those who want a less heavy of a drink. read more

Parking can be a bit difficult to find unless you use valet, so just keep that in mind when you go. We didn't have to wait long for our drinks at all & the service was quick and friendly. There's plenty of seating inside, plus a small front area where you can sit, but it feels more like a spot to socialize rather than a place to get work done. The interior is minimalistic with bold lettering. They also have a bathroom available I ordered the double matcha and it was creamy and delicious. We couldn't stop talking about how much we loved them haha Overall, a great place to catch up with friends and enjoy really tasty drinks. I'd definitely come back for that double matcha! read more

Stagger Coffee - Double Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stagger Coffee is a small coffee shop in Ktown neighborhood of LA. I thought it was nice inside and there's a good amount of people sitting down studying or working. It is a little bit loud inside but could be a vibe. The drinks came out really fast and it was an easy process. I know a lot of people would compare this to other places in LA like Damo, I definitely prefer Damo but this place has really good drinks too. The parking lot is valet or finding street parking which could be a mess. Sanitation: very clean (5/5) Staff: (5/5) Double Matcha (4/5) The double aspect to the drinks are the matcha in the latte as well as in the cream top that they add to it. I didn't know you could change the sweetness of the drinks but I would definitely change it if you can. It was definitely on the sweeter side and I wouldn't get 100% sweet again. Overall there was a lot of flavor inthe matcha. It was pretty earthy but still smooth and creamy. Double Hojicha (4/5) The double hojicha was good as well but I would take the extra star off for the sweetness of the drink. I definitely like my drinks sweetened because I feel like that helps the flavor of the hojicha come out. I would get it again but reduce the sweetness. read more

Valet parking in a small parking lot or street. You'll probably see a line for this place as it is worth the hype. Remember to bring an umbrella or some shade as theres little. Inside has a lot of tables with outlets and theres even a patio area so its a good place to have smaller hangouts/study/ people watch. Lots of students studying here and around medium noise level. The cashier and baristas were super efficient. Our drinks were fast for a high volume day. The matcha has richer flavor (creamy) thick without being too sweet or grassy. I can see why people like it. I feel they do premake everything. So, worth the hype. Prepare to wait. And it is on the pricier side for the size, but you get the cafe hopping experience. read more

It was our first time trying Stagger and we've heard a lot of good things, so we wanted to experience it for ourselves. Upon entering, the cafe was filled with people sitting at the many tables they have inside. We were able to order right away and we got the Double Matcha Latte and Matcha Latte, both with oat milk. The drinks came out within a few minutes, so service was nice and fast. The drinks were super yummy and had a bold matcha flavor! We would definitely come back again if we're in the area. read more

Do yourself a favor and go get the double matcha from here. It's amazing. I am so sad that I don't live closer because I think about it allll the time. We came on a Saturday after lunch and there a long line, but it moved quickly. There are plenty of tables and chairs inside. It seemed like a lot of people go there to do work and study so we opted to bring our drink to go. The double matcha latte was strong and creamy. Unfortunately, the double matcha only comes in one size which is small. Next time, I'll get two of them. read more

I'd heard so many great things about Stagger's Double Matcha, and I finally made my way to K-Town to try it! I didn't want to pay for valet parking, but luckily I found street parking near Helena Church and walked over. Double Matcha: 4/5 A must-try for matcha lovers. The cream top is thick and luscious, and the matcha flavor is strong and earthy. The ratio of cream to drink is just right. The only downside is that the matcha has a high astringency. After finishing the whole drink, I noticed a slight dry mouthfeel. Thankfully, they have a self-serve water station with cups, which is a nice touch. Ambiance: The café was very busy and packed on a Sunday afternoon. Mostly filled with people working on laptops or chatting in small groups. If you're planning to come with a larger party, it's best to arrive early to grab seats. The background music was at a good volume. It's pleasant but not overpowering so you can still carry on a conversation or study comfortably (especially with noise-canceling headphones). Service: Friendly and efficient. The staff seemed well-organized, and they call out your name once your drink is ready. read more

I have been to Japan recently and am kind of on a LA-wide search for the best matcha experience. My search is over: Stagger is the place! And I don't care that it is Korean. Quite the opposite. They seem to be more in tune with Californian taste for less sweet, bolder flavor and denser toppings. And most importantly for me, dairy-free options! Stagger, you nailed it for me! And kudos to your well trained staff to be efficient while still being friendly and attentive. Your place is quite a drive for me. Maybe consider opening a spot in Studio city... read more

One of the top best matcha places I've been to. My only rant is the parking is small and the area is kinda hood, but otherwise I like the aesthetics of their interior. The lines weren't too crazy when I went here on the weekend. While I was in line I noticed the canned drinks that they have were very aesthetically pleasing. Curious to try the Strange Water lol. I ordered their double matcha latte and it was creamy and rich!! I'm tempted to try their matcha cookie next time. read more

Very popular/trendy matcha place. Definitely has a certain vibe to it, younger crowd, instagrammy/tiktok-y, you get it. Line was out the door when we got there, but they did have some nice white umbrellas for people to use while waiting. It's popular for a reason though, and I think the matcha and pastries here definitely hold up. Very tasty, full of matcha flavor, a tad pricey but you get what you pay for and I do think it's fairly worth it! read more

Came on Indigenous People's Day around 10 am and there was a steady stream of people in here but it wasn't crazy like the weekends are. Staff are sweet and the line moved quickly. The double matcha here is always perfect. Ambiance here is not super quiet as there are a lot of people chattering away but they don't play loud music. There are a mix of low tables and regular tables for people wanting to work on laptops. Definitely my favorite matcha in LA. read more

Update: Wow the coconut latte might have been the best drink iv had in the last few months. Ultra rich, creamy and decadent with toasted coconut flakes on the rim for texture. So amazing.

The place was not too small but it was crowded! There's limited parking and the wait was long. However, I do think the wait is worth it for the quality of the matcha! The place looks aesthetically pleasing and they also have many photo opps for you to choose from! Matcha Coconut(10/10): The drink was very refreshing and the ratio was perfect! I liked the little addition of the flower petals on top. Service(10/10): The worker was very helpful and super nice! Overall, I would recommend this place and would definitely come here again if I'm in the area! read more

Creamsicle matcha!!! Limited until 9/30! inh x Ulta Beauty creamsicle matcha is so creamy, flavorful, and delicious! I didn't expect this combo to go so well together. I could taste both flavors and one didn't overwhelm the other. I had been wanting to try Stagger and this collab finally gave me the reason to. The only downside is that it's $8 and it's not a very big cup. Matcha prices are insane now! I got mine with less ice. I also tried their matcha macadamia cookies which were pretty good, but it was quite oily. I think it was $5. I had to wait a bit, took about 10 min from waiting to getting the drink in hand. It was super packed inside. The line took awhile but the drink came out really quickly (2 min!) after I ordered. It has a very modern vibe inside. The seat that I got had a low table. It was loud, would be hard to talk there. They're very considerate to offer umbrellas outside for people waiting in line. The parking lot is very small and valet parking only. There's street parking but I had to park 2-3 blocks away. 5 stars for the drink flavor and quality. 4 stars for overall. I would come back if I'm ever in the area! read more

The hype is real. This might be the best matcha in LA. I went on a Tuesday around 10:30 am and there was no line. I got a double matcha which was so creamy and delicious.

Parking was easy and it took under 5 minutes to get my drink and food. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Third time here and never disappoints! We got double matchas with oat milk. We asked for less sweetener last time and decided that we would stick with the regular amount from now on. I feel like the oat milk taste is pretty prominent in the latte but is better after the cream is mixed in. This is the best matcha cream top i've had! Last two times we came before 9:30am and didn't have to wait in line. Cafe is super cute with plenty of seating. Service is super quick! read more

Don't be discouraged by the wait! It actually went by so fast. Definitely a minimal interior and the drinks are definitely what makes this place a must visit., especially the double matcha I've tried so many around all of LA and I can't deny this one is def the best at the moment. The staff is friendly and efficient, and drinks come out fast. That's why I don't mind the line since it goes quick. Parking is v limited though, but valet is available The space is clean and modern but it's often crowded. Definitely come to try their matcha!! read more

I've become that person who wants to check out all the trendy coffee spots in K-town, lol. So here I was, on a Saturday morning, waiting in line at Stagger to get the famous double matcha. And yes, it was not a let down. The double matcha was creamy and well balanced. Their coffee was good too, according to my coffee loving friends, that I ended up getting a bag as a gift for another coffee lover. The space is really cute, and inviting. I would love to come back to sip matcha, read, or do some work in this space. We were lucky that we got a parking spot in the lot, but visually I could tell that parking could be problematic. On a geeky note, I really dig Stagger's logo and its font. read more

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet, it's my favorite coffee shop in the whole world and I've been to a gazillion!! My office is nearby and this is our go-to spot. I've tried a lot of their drinks, and this is the only place where I would give five stars to every drink I've ever tried: -orange mocha -floral no. 1 (they stopped selling this for a while :(( ) -double matcha -hojicha -london black (the replacement for the floral no 1, I believe they just switched out the jasmine tea to earl grey instead) Drinks taste exquisite and I absolutely love the interior -- I comment on how much I love their plants and decor everytime I go. There's also plenty of seating available, although I've never tried working on stuff in there. My only complaint is that there's only one menu that you don't get to see until you're at the counter, so if you're indecisive like me, there's a bit of pressure to not hold up the line! read more

I spent most of May exploring different matcha spots in search of the perfect cup. Stagger Coffee had been saved in my collections for a while, and I was determined to go after my good friend Elsie Y. told me it was the best matcha she's ever had. And I completely agree: Stagger Coffee is hands-down the best matcha spot in SoCal. When I finally got to try it, and ended up going twice within a week. My gateway into Stagger was their Matcha Latte, and honestly, this is the best matcha I've had. The green color is unmatched. So vibrant and earthy!! The matcha latte is incredibly creamy, perfectly balanced between sweetness and bitterness. The next time, I got the Double Matcha, which is their crowning jewel. The double matcha is rich and decadent, but a little heavy for me since I don't usually like cream and tend to prefer hot drinks over iced. But it is so delicious. Vegetal, bitter notes. The cream top is not sweet (where many go wrong), but incredibly luscious and amplifies the matcha aroma and taste. The deep, vivid green color is godly. They also offer Queen Crimson Tea, which is one of their most popular drinks for non-matcha drinkers. I've also ordered this twice for my cousin, who finds it very refreshing and tasty. They offer an assortment of curated pastries, including kouign amanns, spinach feta and pesto tomato pastries, almond yuzu croissants, and blueberry muffins. You can tell so much from a place by the brands they stock. There's a grab-and-go refrigerator stocked with Better Booch, Harmless Harvest coconut water, Minor Figures Oat Milk, and more. They also sell dog treats, and there's cute merch like mugs, canvas tote bags, and small plants. Free stickers (designs are rotated)!! The space has plenty of indoor seating, though it's mostly individual seats, a community table, and a long bench in the back. Parking has never been an issue for me. Valet is available (the lot gets messy), plus street parking nearby. I had to wait in line 20 min on a Sunday afternoon but no wait on weekdays. Double Matcha!! Double Matcha!! Double Matcha!! do not miss out:) read more

This is a very cute coffee shop located in Korea Town Parking was easy. There was a small valet parking for $3 and meter street parking. Inside was pretty small but had plenty of seating They're open daily 8am-4pm on weekdays and 8am-5pm on the weekends Menu had a good variety of matcha and coffee drinks. Prices were reasonable (~$7+ for most drinks). Most of the matcha drinks only come in one size (12 oz) and iced only! There are milk substitutions available but only oat or almond milk, for +$0.75. Service was friendly and my drink came out super fast! There was no line when I went at 3pm on Tuesday so my drink came immediately after ordering! Double Matcha ($7.50) was so rich, creamy, and delicious. The matcha is ceremonial quality so it was very high quality and not too sweet. Definitely one of the best matcha lattes I've had and trust me, I'm a matcha snob! Definitely recommend this spot if you love matcha and would return read more

You know everyone is coming here for MATCHA. I was hoping there wouldn't be a line, but it really depends on the time you come. Sometimes there's just a splurge of people that looks like a long line, and sometimes there's just no line lol. Although, there's actually a lot of people sitting inside. Mainly friends who are just chatting and it's pretty loud inside, so I personally would think it's not a great spot to do work haha. The tables are also pretty low too, so I feel like this cafe is better to just chit chat. Parking seems like it was valet only, even in the day time. Luckily I had a friend with me who was able to drop me off! I waited in line where it started from the outside, and luckily it moves by pretty efficiently. You know everyone is ordering the same thing here, so the workers are just cranking out matcha in the back haha. I was able to order 2 double matchas, and just a regular matcha latte. Right after I paid, they basically already called my name. Service is fast here! Now trying the matcha, it was really good!! The matcha is quite strong here and very aromatic. NOT WATERED DOWN. Looove the cream top as well. It's so delicious! Honestly may be the most authentic matcha latte I had around from a cafe. read more

Went to Stagger and in my opinion this is the best spot for matcha in LA. I ordered the double matcha and ended up getting four of them: each one was perfectly made; smooth, earthy, aromatic, and strong without being bitter. You can really taste the quality of the matcha here; it's bold but balanced and honestly one of the best matcha drinks I've had anywhere. The ambiance is exactly what you'd expect from a trendy matcha café: clean, modern, and minimal with that curated vibe that makes it feel more like an experience than just a quick drink stop. Everyone in the space felt a little performative, but it worked with the setting and gave the place a unique energy. It's definitely the kind of spot where the vibe is part of the appeal. Service was solid: I didn't have to wait in a long line and my drinks came out quickly. Staff was polite and efficient; not overly chatty but they got everything right and made the experience smooth. The space itself is well-kept and organized, which makes it easy to relax and enjoy your drink. Overall: the drinks are outstanding, the service is reliable, and the vibe is clean and modern. Would I come back? Absolutely; this is my go-to matcha spot in LA. read more
