For true matcha enthusiasts, this place is an exceptional find.The matcha is elegantly rich and deeply aromatic, delivering an authentic, earthy bitterness that reflects its high quality rather than excessive sweetness. The flavor is refined and well-balanced, allowing the natural depth of the matcha to fully stand out.What I appreciated most was the restraint in sweetness. It never overwhelms the palate, instead complementing the matcha with a smooth, creamy finish that lingers beautifully. Each bite feels intentional and thoughtfully crafted, making it clear that quality ingredients are the focus here. This is an ideal destination for those who appreciate sophisticated desserts and genuinely well-executed matcha. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a refined and authentic matcha experience. read more

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

Heard amazing reviews of this place before I came, and I'm glad to know now the hype met my expectations after drinking both the hojicha and matcha lattes. This was probably Top 5 matcha lattes I've ever had, and the service was pretty fast after ordering. The vibes inside were great too - friends congregated, people working on their laptops alone. On a Sunday afternoon, no one was fighting for space (which I appreciate now more than ever). I will recommend friends to come back and try their double hojicha latte especially :) read more

I loveee Stagger!!! The double matcha was so good - the matcha top was absolutely delicious. I loved how creamy and strong the matcha was. The drinks came out insanely fast; we ordered, walked over to the pickup area, and they were already ready. The workers really have it locked down haha. The inside was super cute and there is also seating outside. Parking was a little tricky since the place is small, so we had to find nearby metered street parking. Overall a really solid matcha spot - it was so worth it!! read more

We tried calling and texting, but no one responded, which was very disappointing. On top of that, our matcha came with a **hair in it**. I really feel that the baristas need to be more careful with hygiene and keep their hair properly tied up while preparing drinks. This was extremely unpleasant and definitely not the experience we expected. read more

Stagger Coffee - Matcha was good, but there was a hair inside my drink. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Best matcha in KTown. My order is Double Matcha Unsweet. This means the base is just going to be matcha and milk (no sweetener) with that thick layer of matcha cream on top which obviously is sweet. I taste them separately first then combine for that perfect level of sweetness. Don't sleep on the homemade blueberry muffins either. Get em if you can. read more

Popular and bustling coffee/matcha shop in K-Town Los Angeles. And when you walk in, it HAS that vibe...laptops out, young people drinking their coffee...that influencer, online romanticized LA life vibe--if you know you know. I had the Cream Top--the standard is water based, but I splurged and got it "milk based"--I was told this at the counter while ordering so I'm just repeating that, I've never actually been told "it's water based, would you like it in milk?" before so at first I didn't know how to answer (LOL). The drink is solidly good. Also tried the Double Matcha...it's a lot of matcha, for sure. Not overly sweet, pretty good. All was ok but not particularly mind-blowing and I wouldn't go out of my way to return especially since there are SO many coffee shops not just in LA, but in K-Town specifically. But it's all preference, and some people do love this place, so come on down and try it because they might be your favorite too. Parking looked crowded and I think there was some type of valet situation? Not sure but definitely look into that if you're coming by car and need parking. read more

Stagger Coffee - Drinky drinks (Cream top and Double Matcha)...solidly good. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Got the double matcha with matcha foam, regular foam, and the double hojicha -- all were really good. The drinks do lean on the sweeter side, but they're adjustable, which I appreciated. Loved the interior, it's really cute and there's lots of seating. They also have free WiFi, making it a nice spot to hang out or get some work done. Parking is valet only or street parking, but service was good and fast. Overall, really enjoyed this place and would definitely come back! read more

Stagger Coffee - double matcha with matcha foam and regular foam. double hojicha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place was recommended to me so decided to check it out. Did not disappoint to say the least. Ambience is nice, interior design is sleek and clean, and service was fast. Was hesitant on getting the double matcha but since my sister strongly suggests I try it out, I'd figure I would give it a chance. It's creamy, delicious, and tasted more like of a dessert than a drink. I wish there were options for their sizes since $7.50 is quite pricey for how small it is. The double hojicha (seasonal) is nothing special. Nutty and creamy, but otherwise it's pretty standard. Nothing stood out from that drink. The gentleman at the register/who took our order was very friendly so we'd appreciate it. I would go here again, to get the double matcha or try something new, but otherwise I would avoid the double hojicha. read more

Stagger Coffee was an experience. Beyond the tempting drinks, the friendly service, and the comfortable seating (both indoors and outdoors), it stands out as one of the most enjoyable stops in Los Angeles. I truly enjoyed my time here and didn't want to leave. Great spot for people-watching, with excellent matcha drinks. The energy was great, and the double matcha was a highlight. Five stars. read more

Came here at 2 PM on a Friday and luckily there was no line. They offer valet parking, but we opted for street parking instead. I ordered the hojicha latte and it was delicious! The flavor was perfectly balanced. I've also tried their double matcha and coconut matcha before, and they've all been consistently good and creamy. I personally like it unsweetened. Service was super fast! My drink was ready almost immediately after paying. The space is very aesthetic with plenty of seating, though it does tend to fill up with students. There's also outdoor seating available. Overall, definitely recommend. read more

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

Could Stagger Coffee please come to the Bay!!! The only thing I kept saying to myself while drinking my double matcha was WOW! You can actually taste the matcha - it wasn't watery or overly milky. My husband got the Cream Top, which was very flavorful and on the sweeter side, but still so good. Our friend tried the Double Hojicha - we weren't the biggest fans, but if you love hojicha this might be the drink for you. The roasted flavor was just a bit too strong! We also tried a few pastries, and they were all great. The blueberry cream cheese muffin was my favorite - incredibly moist and delicious. The almond yuzu croissant was a close second: soft, flaky, dusted with just the right amount of powdered sugar, and the yuzu flavor was perfectly balanced. My third favorite was the chocolate croissant - a classic but still really good. Lastly, we tried the matcha cookie, which was just okay for us and a little on the dry side, so I'd probably pass next time. Service was quick and easy, and the coffee shop itself is super cute - very minimalist and modern. I will definitely make my friends take me here every time I visit! read more

I'm not the biggest matcha person, but my lady friend dragged me here. Stepping into this establishment made me feel like a performative male, didn't help that I offered to pay for the both of us. Jokes aside, this place is a total vibe. Bustling with noise and fervor, while still roomy enough for everyone to be left to their own devices. All I'm missing are wired earbuds then I'll fit in with the crowd. Oh, and the matcha was okay I guess. read more

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

I've had quite a few matchas all over the city and hands down Stagger has the best! I love the double matcha which is a matcha latte with matcha cream top and it's so indulgent and delicious. It's a bit thicker than other matcha lattes so it almost feels like you're drinking a matcha milkshake. Also the ratio of matcha to sweetness to creaminess is just perfect. Not too bitter (which some places overdo) and sweet enough to seem like a treat without being overbearingly sweet. Idk how Stagger does it because I keep trying other places but none of them can get it exactly right like they can. read more

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

Not my cup of coffee. Just a americano with cream top. This place maaaaybe for my daughter who loves matcha but I'll take her next time. But for today I'm reviewing on the cream top. It's a simple americano with cream top of you like that. A good try but I think I'll pass for coffee. Next visit will be for my daughter and her matcha. Friendly workers. Parking is a small lot. There is street parking but if there is any. LA is not a street parking place super crowded. UGH but if you want a decent coffee with cream top go here. read more

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

Loveeee stagger!! When it comes to matcha, I feel like a lot of coffee shops miss the mark. I've been a regular at stagger for over a year now and haven't had one disappointing drink! Most people, including myself, get the double matcha. While that drink is a 10/10, I also love the Spanish latte and the coconut matcha. The coconut matcha is a little sweet, but so delicious and refreshing. I crave the double matcha weekly and will often bring friends here so they can experience the joy of a double matcha. I opt for the iced Spanish latte if it's early in the morning and I'm wanting coffee. The store is modern and aesthetic and they have a cute mirror where a lot of people will take group photos. It can get quite busy but they work extremely fast. Everyone deserves to try Stagger in their life!!! read more

Stagger Coffee - Coconut matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had to come try this matcha shop with all the hype it's been receiving. If I were to rank the popular matcha shops based on their matcha drinks, this place beats Memorylook but isn't as good as Rok or Airoma (this is just personal preference though). Still need to try Archives Of Us and Damo. -Double Matcha: The level of matcha was decent. Pretty creamy as well thanks to the cream at the top of the drink. However this drink overall was a bit too sweet. -Double Hojicha: This was good. Excellent roasted flavor that paired well with the sweetness. 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

As a matcha connoisseur, Stagger has been on my bucket list for ages! Double matcha: 5/5 I loveeee stagger's double matcha. The color alone, speaks volumes of how good the matcha quality is. My only complaint is the size of the cup. I finish it within 15 minutes! I hope they invest in having larger cups available. Service: 5/5 The employees here are super sweet and they are always willing to answer any of your questions. After ordering, our drinks came out fairly quickly and there are free stickers by the register. Ambiance: 4/5 There were plenty of tables and chairs but everytime I stop by there are all filled up. The interior is very clean and spacious though. There is also a patio. Tip: The parking lot is valet only so you'll need to find street parking and walk into the plaza if you don't want to pay to park. read more

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

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

Yeah, stagger is like goated. Can't go wrong choose anything at this place, even the water. I definitely recommend the double hojicha or matcha - great coffee 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

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

was suggested to come here and the drinks are pretty good !! mm the location ? idunno. it's located in a tiny plaza in koreatown, meaning parking will be hectic. because of that, i was dropped off. my hubs went to find parking and he parked in the plaza since he saw an empty spot with no cone or anything. a valet guy came up to him, so my hubs rolled down the window. the valet guy said "street parking." my hubs then said "i'm just picking up somebody." didn't realize the whole lot is for valet, but okay fine, we'll leave. besides that, the drinks are of good quality and the inside is cute. the orange mocha has a nice chocolatey taste, but the citrus from the orange still comes through. the strawberry matcha is quite nice as well and is made with puree, which makes it feel fresh, and the matcha has a balanced earthy flavor. though it's cool to watch them make the drinkies and then enjoy it, i'm not sure if it's worth it to go all the way over there to deal with the parking. read more

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.

They do a perfect balance of milk to espresso ratio & I'm definitely going to try the double matcha next time I just couldn't handle having more caffeine after two Spanish latte's! The shop was very cute and not the biggest (seems like a lot of people come and do work there or just come to catch up with friends and socialize) overall a very nice environment and the shop maintenance was very clean. Service only took a few minutes to get our orders (less than 10) only complaint I would have is it's hard to get parking in the lot but it's definitely worth stopping by or waiting for a spot to open up. 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 can absolutely see why Stagger is consistently rated as one of the best matchas in LA. The double matcha is really good, and the matcha cream on top is lightly sweetened and fluffy.

I am SOOO glad my friend recommended this spot to me before we left LA :D Some of the best matcha I've had in California...! I'm genuinely so shocked at the quality. I wish they had a location in the bay ;u; Clean, minimal, industrial-chic interior. Packed to the brim on a weekday. Staff are courteous and professional. After placing our orders, they were out within 5 mins. DOUBLE MATCHA (w/oat milk): Creamiest, richest matcha with just a hint of sweetener. Omg it almost has a whipped cream texture. Matcha purists, this isn't the light frothiness that traditional matcha has, but is it delicious or what We even made a very out-of-the-way stop here going to the airport. A must-have next time I'm in Ktown! 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
