After a lovely hike my friend suggested this place for good food and good coffee! I was all in!! To my surprise this is inside of a tiny shopping mall. So from the outside I walked in through what I thought was a flower market, then you see all kinds of shops, towards the end is Ulew. Small cafe where you place your order but there is a big seating area. I took my friends suggestions and it did not disappoint! I was absolutely obsessed with the coffee and food!!!! 10 out 10 experience! Also the dining area was super cool filled with board games, beautiful art, and so many other things . Thank you so much ULEW for the warm welcome and hospitality btw I recommended my friend this place and they mentioned they have a sister restaurant ChapMayan in Pico Rivera! I'm going this Saturday :) read more

I enjoy the staff here super friendly and kind. This establishment is the sibling location to the other coffee place I frequent called ChapMayan. This establishment uses fermented oat milk, which pairs really well with my latte. The brand is called Koatji. This time around, I tried a sweet and savory dish it was really good. The only downside for me is the parking. I always have such a hard time finding parking. If it was t for that I probably would come more often. Maltiox! read more

Everything about this place feels thoughtful and intentional from the artfully tiles floors to the amenities in the bathroom (q-tips, flossers, and hair bands). It was a bit of a trick to find it (it's inside a mini mall with a tiny different storefront on the street which is next to a busy little stribut once I did, it's calm and pleasant inside.

Ulew Coffee & Juice - Avo toast w/egg - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

10/10. Such a cute place! The coffee was great and the food was too. The decor was beautiful and intensional and the service was superb. I want to try all the things here because it feels like they make them with love. Something as simple as tostadas will make you want to come back. The coffee was nicely balanced and not too sweet. It hit all the right notes. Can't wait to return. Wish it was closer so I could be a reg hehe they have games to play while you sip your coffee, merch and other cute things to buy. Please try this place, it's a gem and a little piece of Guate in LA *heart eyes* read more

This place is a hidden gem! All natural and freshly squeezed juices, beautifully crafted savory drinks and organic ingredients & breads for their toasts, salads, and sandwiches. The staff was energetic and helpful with aiding you to pick the favorites. We had the tuna melt, avocado toast, and chimichurri Sando! Taken you walk in, you see the seating area but you have to walk towards the back of the building through the barber shop to place your order. Don't be discouraged, you are in for a treat! The juices are freshly pressed with flavors like turmeric, pineapple, ginger, apple, and oranges. read more

Food: I honestly did not try the food so can't comment on any food but can comment on the coffee I tried. I got the Latte de Barrio, I honestly feel like it tasted like any other Spanish latte, made with sweetened condensed milk, so if you like that taste of that you'll like this! Service: Honestly the service was TOP TIER which is why I'm giving them 5 stars. They were super nice and asked if it was our first time there. I said yes and an employee there explained the menu. They even offered us a sample of their pistachio milk and another milk but I forgot the name of it. Just with that, makes me want to go back and see if another coffee of theirs WOWS me. Ambiance: Was super cute, they had plants all over the front of their little coffee shop . They had decorations from Guatemala which I loved! The shop alone is super small inside a small little market. read more

I was thrilled when my darling girls asked me to meet them here on a Saturday morning. I'm so thankful they discovered this place otherwise I would have never known. Ulew started in 2023 as a pop-up on the corner of Olympic & Soto selling natural juices. Now they have a café where they also serve Guatemalan coffee, pastries, and traditional & creative food options. The entrance is a bit tricky. Go through the doorway by the flower shop and proceed down the hallway. You place your order off to the right and on the left of the hall is the dining area. The lounge is warm & welcoming. It feels and looks like you are in someone's living room. The walls are lined with artwork by local artists, which are for sale, and there are even books & board games for your entertainment. Our order consisted of Café de Olla, Café Del Dia, Latte De La Barrio, and a Jalapeño Cream Cheese Croissant. My Café de Olla was perfect. The first sip was a delight on the palate. I could taste the notes of spices and a hint of orange. The other two beverages were just as good. The bold, richness of the coffee stood out on the Café Del Dia, and the Latte De La Barrio was delicious. I also liked the traditional clay mugs in which they were served. (Large orders are served in a to-go cup.) The Jalapeño Cream Cheese Croissant was also exceptionally good. The croissant was flaky & fluffy with a generous amount of cream cheese filling and jalapeño slices. In addition to the locals, about 10 police officers came in for breakfast. A true testament to how good this place is. I must mention that the staff are incredibly friendly here. The lady at the register, the man who brought us our order and kept checking on us, and the guy who bussed our table. Not only do they care about serving quality food & drink but they also care about their customers' overall experience. *Street parking. read more

First time dining here, and this place definitely has my attention. This isn't your standard coffee shop -- they also offer food with both traditional and creative options. Everything feels thoughtfully put together. The service is amazing, and they provide great recommendations if you're unsure what to order. The space itself is very nice and welcoming. Jeffery (Tomas) was extremely friendly and helpful. You can truly feel that this is a family-owned restaurant. I really appreciated how he described the restaurant as his family's journey -- that personal touch makes the experience even more special. read more

Quaint coffee spot located in a mini strip mall that quickly transported me to the shops in Guatemala. Ulew ties quality coffee, food and ambiance that sends you on a trip to Central America without leaving LA. Our order was taken quickly by one of the friendly staff. We took a seat in a comfortable area with plenty of tables and traditional Guatemalan music in the background, marimba! We had the cardamom, Guate-Mayan mocha coffees and ordered tostadas to snack on, everything was tasty. Absolutely enjoyed this café. Highly recommended. read more

Located inside of a small but bustling indoor market, this coffee shop is tiny, but has lots of character. You'll find fresh pastries alongside an array of amazing caffeinated drink options. Everyone here has a smile, and their coffee reflects the love and care that is in each drop. Their lounge is across the way, which is warmly lit, with plenty of seats. A perfect spot to hang out whether you're solo or with a group of people. read more

I got off the freeway on the way to work for this? The Ulew Golden Latte combines turmeric, cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, Koatji milk, and a touch of ginger syrup. It was heavenly! The staff were so friendly and helpful in navigating their menu for the first time. I parked out front and ordered the golden latte, a sol wellness shot and the breakfast sando. This place is darling and I will surely be back next time I'm nearby. In paying for my wellness shot, they gave me 50 cents, what a beautiful gesture of community care. Next time, I hope to be able to enjoy my order in the comfort of their dining area. It is a beautifully curated space that is both cozy and inviting! read more

First time here and being a small coffee shop inside a Central American market makes it feel a bit more authentic. The aroma, the environment and the nostalgia of being in a different country just makes the anticipation of the 5 star invigorate your taste buds. I ordered the Latte de barrio and I mean what a tingling hit of caffeine with the first sip. Just my caffeine and coffee fix was satisfied! For sure going back! 5/5 stars! Service is exceptional! read more

Someone spot lighted this business on TicTok and I made sure to visit the same week. Everything that was show cased appeared to be savory, and it was exactly what I expected. The address that's linked to my Apple Maps, from Yelp was not quite specific. This coffee spot is located inside a mini shopping center. When you drive down Soto St you will see a shop that appears to be half florists and half plants; that's the entrance. If you follow the GPS, it's not quite precise. While I was waiting in the seating area, I was approached by two young women who asked where it was. The seating area is separate from the register where they order and prepare the food down the hall. Seating and restroom is to the left, ordering coffee is a few steps down to the right. It was a 5 min venture and yes it was worth the exploration. I purchased the overnight oats with chia seeds, topped with fruit, and two drinks for a friend and I. My drink was the Cardamom latte, which I specifically selected since cardamom offsets acidity and invites balance. If you're trying to avoid anything acidic, cardamom spice lowers acidity and creates a ph balance. For my friend I ordered the Latte De Barrio; both drinks have a nice earthy taste, which I loved! The ambiance is nice, it appears they have a selection of books that are there for the public, a nicely decorated seating area, and an indigenous Latin American altar. The menu matches the aesthetic of its surroundings. ULEW has a nice welcoming vibe, and attentive staff. I loved the plants that they set up in both the seating room and ordering area. There's plenty of people coming and going, & if I lived near by I would visit more often. I happened to drive from Long Beach to check it out and it was worth it; wish we had something like this in Long Beach. I will be back in the future on my off days when I'm in the mood to enjoy a good cup of coffee. read more

After seeing a video about this place online, I knew I had to try it! The parking and finding the cafe are a little difficult, but it is so worth it! We got some food, a coffee and a tea. Everything was delicious! The place has free WiFi, outlets, and tables to work at. We got there at around 11 on a Saturday and it was packed. We had to wait awhile to get a table, but it was worth it! I also loved the Guatemalan themed decor and some local art displayed. Overall, this is a great coffee shop in the area, I would highly recommend! read more

We LOOOOOVED our drinks at Ulew and the service was incredible. We had a few questions about our drinks and recommendations and the barista was very helpful and knowledgeable regarding all the drinks. I can't wait to come back! I order the chai, never having had African chai before and curious about the ginger syrup- it was so good, and everyone agreed the chai was the most surprising/best find out of all (but everything was good). This chai isn't very "spicy", which I liked and I could taste the ginger . I tried a sip of all the drinks pictured and was also very surprised by the cold brew! Usually I can't drink plain cold brew but Ulew's is very light/refreshing without being watery or too saturated. I also ordered a ginger wellness shot which was also 10/10 They have a whole dining area perfect for sitting at to read/study. Can't wait to go back! read more

Ulew has to be one of my favorite coffee shops! After finding out that it's a sister concept to ChapMayan in Pico Rivera, I just knew it had to be just as incredible - I wasn't wrong! The shop itself is tucked away in a small mini mall with a plant store right in front. The service is a perfect example of what other businesses should embody and the food and drinks are top tier! It's would not hesitate to come here! read more

This cute little cafe is located inside the mall. The doors from the outside do NOT open. There is some street parking, and some parking in the plaza next door. the cafe is split into 2 sections. The area to order coffee/drinks/food is different to where you sit to eat. So read the signs!! there are plenty guiding you to where to go! I ordered the calmness matcha iced with oat milk And my friend ordered the de olla latte iced as well. there were SO many drinks I really wanted a hot drink because the cups alone were so CUTE...but it was so hot outside i could not. The inside of the cafe which is right across the ordering area is so cute! They had a lot of colorful Guatemalan decor. the chairs/cushions also had pretty patterns. The matcha had a nice hint of lavender .sometimes when i get lavender drinks they taste like soap, but this was great! I liked that the matcha flavor was strong and not light, it was also very creamy. any matcha lovers dream. I really regret not getting the food here...it looked really good, but I had just eaten lunch I will be back next time for sure to try the other hot coffees and the food :) read more

My favorite place to get coffee with my friends. I've tried most of the menu and love every drink. Ulew is so sacred to me because they truly care about identity and where + how they source their ingredients. Every drink tastes like LOVE. This coffee shop has become so important to me! I highly recommend their golden milk and all of their lattes. Seriously I've never tried anything here I haven't loved. Their food is also delicious!!! read more

The best coffee in town, I hope they remain the same always. You can tell tell they put lots of passion and love in what they do. Coffee is served in away that makes you want to try it all. If you cant decide on what to get, let them know what you are craving want or don't want and they will recommend something that I am sure will not disappoint you. My kiddo is super hooked on their avocado toast, it is truly delicious. I am locked with the Chimi Sando...YUM!!!!!!! I have yet to try their other food items, and trust I will and very soon. ULEW if you expand please, please do not change your method and ways, this tends to happen when you get popular and quality fails in order to fulfill quantity. Best coffee drinks hands down!!! read more

Beautifully crafted menu, from fresh-pressed juices, wellness shots, and sandos to their delicious coffee! I'm not much of a sweet coffee person, so I was hesitant to order the barrio latte because it's made with condensed milk. My taste buds were blown away at the first sip. It was perfectly made, just the right balance of flavors. I also ordered tostadas guatemaltecas to snack on while I waited for my to-go order: chimichurri sando & bfast sando. Everything was delicious. The dining area is surprisingly spacious. With several tables and their decor transporting you to Guatemala, it was quite soothing to the soul. The baristas were all friendly, and it was nice conversing about where in Guatemala we're all from. Please skip your local hipster coffee shop and visit Ulew; they really know what they're doing. read more

We came here for lunch and tried two of their sandwiches -- the Breakfast Sando and the Tuna Melt -- and both were absolutely delicious. I ordered the Guate-Mayan coffee, and we also had an iced Americano made with one of their Guatemalan bean selections. Both drinks were smooth and flavorful -- the mocha, in particular, had a really nice chocolatey taste. The setup is super cute -- the register, coffee bar, and kitchen are in a separate section from the seating area, which I didn't expect but actually added to the charm and cozy feel of the place. The service was spectacular, the staff was very knowledgeable about everything, and everyone was so nice! 10/10 recommend! We'll definitely be coming back to try more of their menu. read more

Coffee & food are delicious! Service was good, cashier was nice & provided feedback on menu. The vibes were ok, place itself was a little overwhelming & confusing. The area to order was crowded & small & if you want to dine in it's another space. It's inside a kind of indoor "mall". read more

Well, well... love trying new coffee spots... maybe its the coffee enthusiast in me... So decided to try this spot, although i see 5 stars all across... i must say i gave it a 4 stars, but it can easy go to 3.5.... highly rated on yelp, why 4 stars?!... Well, let me tell you.... Different way to order... enter thru a shopping center, order then sit.... or wait in the hallway for your to go.... Staff was friendly and polite, I asked couple of questions, all were answered... no issues But, no pastries besides couple of croissants... no sweet bread, no cookies... I mean, being a Guatemala based coffee shop, have some traditional hispanic pastries... right?! (In my opinion)... Coffee was good... didnt have that hmmmm kick (know what i mean)... one thing inside my coffee that I have never had, was a piece of orange... I kept smelling a hint of orange, when I removed the lid... a peel of orange was in the coffee... Did it enhance the flavor? Not sure... but this was different... Unable to take the tostadas home, was told they will get soggy and won't fit in the too go box... The avocado toast was good, not great... Parking can be challenging... good luck with street parking... I saw a parking lot 1 block away, but not sure if thats parking is for Ulew... Dont think I'll go back, wasnt too impressed... But when you go... enjoy!!... read more

The ambiance is beautiful. It's so green/earthy, they have books, artwork, and more. My favorite latte to get is their Latte de Barrio. It's become my favorite latte, and I was never really a coffee drinker before. It's flavorful and a bit sweet. The baristas/workers are always nice! 10/10 recommend this place for the good vibes and energy, how pretty it is, and the great lattes! read more

Ulew Coffee & Juice - Guate Mayan Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I think I just found my new favorite coffee shop and I'm in love! First and foremost, the coffee is divine whether you are having a cup of straight drip coffee without the frills or a specialty latte in a ceramic mug, it's both well balanced, flavorful, and aesthetically pleasing. Hands down this has to be the best coffee art I've ever seen and sipped! (View reference images) My Cardamon Latte had a hand-designed butterfly on the foam. The De Olla Latte was delicious, too. Secondly, the service and seating area - with a gallery wall of handmade colorful artwork (some even for sale!) and ceramic tile floor (don't forget to check out the loteria card inspired tile work in the bathroom) - was cute and cozy. The best part of this cafe is that you are supporting a Latino-owned business, specifically Guatemalan, and you can tell that they take pride in their work and they surely deliver a top-quality good and service to our community. A few tips: The address might lead your GPA to the backside of the building, so just stick to the main street. Street parking is available, but, as you know, you've got to read the signs to avoid a ticket. Follow the coffee signs, as the cafe itself is in the rear part of a long corridor of shops (floral shop, barber, etc). Wi-Fi is available so I just might have to bring my laptop the next time I visit. There are yummy health conscious food items (veggie and meat options), pastries, and juices, but the popular juices might sell out because they are too good to resist. read more
