Great spot for mochi desserts and matcha. The quality is solid, and the service was excellent…read more The shop has about 8 tables, plenty of outlets, free Wi-Fi, and a very bright interior. It's quite popular, so there are always people coming in and out. Because of that, I would describe it as having more of a social vibe than a study vibe. I would definitely recommend trying the mochi dessert and matcha. The mochi was the highlight for me, while the matcha was good but not exceptional. While I enjoyed my visit, I probably wouldn't come back specifically to study due to the busy atmosphere. Ratings * Matcha: 3.8/5 * Mochi: 4/5 * Vibes: 3/5

RNY is my go-to coffee shop. I visit several times a week to say hi to my favorite baristas (Hi…read moreMichael, Wonki, and team!) and order a potent pick me up. The baristas are passionate about their craft and so knowledgeable about coffee beans and are expert latte artists. I love that their cold brew is made using the cool science-y looking contraption. My little one gets the strawberry or chocolate milk; they use real strawberries puree and none of that powder crap. I love their iced vanilla bean latte, cold brew, strawberry matcha, iced matcha latte, iced americano. Everything is so balanced, delicious, and perfect! I've had their pour overs with single origin beans. Yummy! Whether you need a quick pick me up, study or work space, or social coffee time with friends, I 100% recommend stopping by RNY!

Got the dirty matcha and vienna latte. The vienna latte was definitely the better option. The drink wasn't too sweet and the foam gave it good balance. The dirty matcha wasn't horrible but the matcha flavor was ok so it's probably better to stick to their coffee drinks overall.

This cafe has a nice ambiance and free parking! Something that you don't really see in ktown…read more I visited during the weekday so it wasn't packed. Their photo booth is really cute and easy to use, but you do have to pay $10 which is not bad at all. They have their pastries facing the street entrance to the cafe (not the entrance from the parking lot). I didn't know that they had pastries on display until after I had payed for drinks and had to make line again. Can't imagine how frustrating it can be when it's a bit busy and having to make line again. I ordered a regular matcha latte with oat milk, the color was promising but once I took a sip of it I was disappointed. If you're a person that likes sweet matcha then this is for you. I personally I didn't like it just because it was sweet and grainy. I could see matcha but could not taste it. My sister got an iced vanilla latte and said it was really good! Not too sweet and not bitter either. I would have to go for an iced latte if I ever come back to visit!

I loved the decor inside and the fact that theres a seating area on the second floor. I ordered a matcha latte ($7+ tax). They made it super quickly and I went upstairs to find a seat. Even though it was a Thursday, almost all the tables were taken so I went to the outside tables for a little bit. Someone ended up leaving and I snagged their table. One thing to note is that the parking lot outside does say 2 HR visitor parking.

Another awesome coffee shop in Koreatown…read more And, you guessed it, because we're in K-Town, the parking situation is not ideal - doable, but not ideal. We managed to find a meter parking spot on the street where the strip mall was located though. There was no line to get in, no line to order and the wait for our drinks was minimal. We came around lunch on a weekday. The space is great. High ceiling so it feels bigger than it is -- and it actually is a pretty big coffee shop. All the tables and benches were occupied. Lots of people working or studying or hanging out. The CORTADO was strong, creamy and not tart. Love it. The ICED LATTE is delicious. The MATCHA COOKIE with white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts was delicious and warmed prior to serving. They roast and sell their own beans. Staff are all nice. Space is beautiful.

Overall: The wait isn't too bad if you come *super* early…read moreand you're waiting in line with a friend :) The drinks are really good, so I'd say try it at least once if you're able to come early. Line/Wait: - Came on a Saturday and joined the line around 7:45 am (opens at 8). The line was out the door, but thankfully didn't turn the corner yet! By the time we got our drinks and stepped out, it was 8:35 am--so about 50 min total. - The line was SO long when we left (around 9 am) and packed *tight* with people waiting. IMO we probably would've just left if the line was that dense when we came. Parking: - There was available street parking along Melrose when we arrived in the area. The parking meter was 1.50/hour, 2 hrs max. 8a-8p from Mon-Sat, 11a-8p on Sundays. Seating: - There's limited seating in the back, and the little walkway to the left leading to it. Not a lot of spaces to sit, but the surrounding greenery is pretty to look at while you drink. Drinks: - Matcha Einspanner: I prefer my matcha unsweetened and am a bit wary of sweet matcha, but I didn't mind the sweetness of this one at all! It goes well with the matcha and doesn't just feel like a simple syrup thrown into the drink. The creaminess and sweetness is tempered with the sea salt on top, and it comes together with the matcha to make a surprisingly yummy drink. I recommend mixing the drink after your initial sips. :) - Einspanner (w Espresso): Tried my partner's drink, and it was just as delicious! The espresso itself was really smooth, and balanced the sweet cream nicely-- it tasted sweet and creamy without tasting completely like a coffee ice cream. REALLY good! Also recommend mixing this one after you take your initial sips.

Community Goods is unfortunately/fortunately worth the wait for their matcha einspanners. The…read morematcha is slightly earthy, but the pleasantly salty cream foam is the real standout and what keeps me coming back. It seems like the salted foam is delivered to the store. There always seems to be a line, but their staff works very efficiently. Only a couple benches inside to sit while waiting in line. We finally tried the hyped-up sliders, but they were disappointing. The texture felt very one-note...soft, untoasted Hawaiian buns, thick fluffy egg, and even more so with the avocado we added. Flavor-wise, they were plain and unimpressive. The bacon add-on helped by adding some crispy, smoky texture. The sweet-and-sour sauce brought a bit more dimension, while the tangy mayo wasn't particularly memorable. Since Community Goods is on Melrose and close to a lot of LA hotspots, I often find myself stopping by when I'm in the area. Great matcha but the sliders aren't worth it.
