    This ratio told me everything before I took a sip.
    Millicent M.

    If i can give this place a -1/10, I would. If you're here for their matcha, dont even bother. The ratio alone tells me this was going to be milky. I was right. Tastes like mango with a none existent matcha taste. Youre paying $8-9 for milk, topper and mango taste. The mango tasted artificial. Not to mention, you can sit inside if you buy a drink AND food.

    Van Dyke is my regular coffee spot. I almost always order a straight double shot of espresso and I've never had a bad one here. They roast their own beans daily and DJ has been in the coffee business for over 10 years, so there's a lot of experience behind the counter. I've tried a few of their specialty espresso drinks and their pastries on other visits and all of it was excellent. I also end up working here for a couple hours at a time and nobody rushes you out. Prices are fair and DJ and his staff know their regulars, which is why I keep going back.

    matcha duo + vanilla latte
    Nicole J.

    Every time we return to this place we are greeted by the owner himself. He is so kind and warm. I ordered the matcha duo for the first time and it was amazing. The perfect balance of sweet and earthy. My boyfriend got a vanilla latte which was delicious as well. Van Dyke is definitely one of our go-to's for coffee in ktown. Highly recommend!

    Non-fat latte

    Great little local coffee spot near K-town. Surprisingly, each time I have gone I was able to find parking right in front, for free, bonus! They have a nice outdoor patio area as well as a bright, clean and modern space inside to sit. Staff here is friendly, the drinks are made to order and take a bit longer than a coffee chain, but they are putting care into making the drinks. They have all the various coffee's you may be looking for, straight black coffee, blended, latte, espresso, matcha, etc. I typically get a non-fat latte. The espresso is smooth and not bitter, they do make them strong, so if you like strong coffee, you will be happy, if not, just add some creamer or sweetness to it, etc. to take off the edge. The one thing I wish they had more of is food, they have pastries and snacks, but limited, it would be nice to get something more substantial when visiting to get my coffee fix. Great spot, a change from the big chains out there and you are supporting a local business. Check them out. Enjoy!

    We've tried their Dutch latte, houjicha oat latte, orange mocha and orange espresso tonic. All the drinks are good, but my favorite was Orange espresso tonic. It sounds strange but it works. It's kinda like how you use orange with chocolate cake (Barefoot Contessa recipe), I think. The flavors enhance each other in a strange way. Their other drinks were good too, but I feel like the orange mocha and orange espresso tonics were the standouts. Space is nice, there are a lot of people studying, and I think they require you get at least a drink to stay. There are a few tables outside as well, if you want to visit with your furry friend. Right next door to Yama Sushi. We've always found parking on the street, but I think you can also park in the lot you enter from the side. We've also gotten their roasted coffee beans, and it's delicious! They usually have freshly roasted bags available, like ones that they just roasted a day or two ago. FYI, they recommend waiting about 5 days before using it for coffee, I guess that is when the flavors are ideal. Nice staff and some pastries are available as well.

    Free 90 minute parking in structure. Tons of seating indoor and outdoor, great for a study session or a quick work from cafe. Chestnut Latte -sooo good, not sure if it's a new item or a seasonal item. They had a small printout near the register. Bits of chestnut throughout the cold foam and the sprinkle of cocoa powder really enhances the nutty flavor. Coffee was solid as well. Orange Mocha -if you've every had Terry's orange chocolate during the holidays, this literally tasted just like it. Bits of orange zest or dry pulp throughout that adds some texture. Coco Ube Cloud -you can really taste both the coconut and the ube shine through the espresso. Good, creamy and not too sweet. Double Mango Matcha -pretty sweet in my opinion, might ask if they're able to adjust sweetness next time. Matcha was good but not as strong as I'd prefer. Dutch Latte -good but also quite sweet.

    Yummy coconut matcha drink and peaceful study spot! Loved my coconut matcha! Very refreshing, not too sweet, and the perfect blend of flavors. The inside has plenty of wooden tables and seating, while the back end tables have a couple of chargers. I like all the natural light from the windows, and WiFi's pretty good. The service was quick too.

    I visited Van Dyke Coffee last Saturday afternoon with my family. My brother ordered two Americanos. On a previous visit with My Mom in February, we tried the Dutch Latte, and I love how they serve a complimentary mini waffle cookie with each Dutch Latte order. Every coffee we've tried here has been delicious, and the staff is consistently friendly, which makes the experience even better. Another huge plus is the parking; the lot is very spacious and convenient. cf) There is a 90-minute parking limit posted in the parking lot.

    Strawberry matcha and pistachio croissant during
    Carissa P.

    Great coffee shop in K Town! There are plenty of coffee shops to pick from, but this newer shop is a wonderful addition. I have been here twice in the last month already, once to hang and another to get some work done. The shop is clean, modern, with plenty of seating both inside and outside. There is a hand washing area in addition to restrooms. All the drinks I've tried have been great, but I believe the sizes vary by 12 or 16 oz depending on the type, not by the size you yourself pick (my assessment is that "specialty" drinks are 16 oz by default). Staff was also kind during both visits. I've tried the strawberry matcha, matcha tonic, strawberry milk and orange mocha. All have wonderful balance, and the fruit components taste fresh and not overly sweet. I also tried a pistachio croissant during one visit, which was also yummy. I found street parking during both visits but I see other reviews saying there is 90 minute free parking at the lot behind the shop. Will definitely use that next time.

    almond yuzu croissant and double mango matcha
    Lily P.

    Double mango matcha is more mango than matcha (i suppose that's what the name implies?). Almond yuzu croissant was interesting! I prefer a normal almond croissant but it was cool to try. There's plenty of seating although by lunch time most seats got filled up with people doing work or just chilling. There are outlets but only at the tables against the back wall. Got street parking right in front very easily!

    This is one of my friend's favorite coffee spot !! I didn't love the tonic but my latte was super yummy. The place is spacious with tables so you can do work or study here as well:) Theres also out door sitting and it's also right next to a sushi spot if you want to grab food and a drink

    I was getting my car serviced and wanted something to eat. Saw that this coffee shop was nearby and walked over. I got a creme brûlée coffee with oat milk and a cherry danish. The service was fine and the ambiance was nice and quiet. You could sit and do work on your computer, sit alone outside or with a companion and chat over some delicious drinks. I would definitely come back if in the area and try something different.

    I got the lychee lemon refresher which was good! It has a green tea base, which is not too noticeable and the lychee flavor was pleasant with the club soda. I would get it less sweet next time, but it was a nice lychee sparkling drink for a hot day! I previously tried their orange espresso tonic and loved it as well. Spacious cafe for a cafe in LA. Pleasant experience!

Not only was the espresso and milk combined really nicely, but also it was slightly sweetened with ?caramel, almost reminded me of sweet condensed milk. Overall it tasted like a combination of an American latte with Viet coffee! Staff were nice and friendly. Some bench seating on the inside but lots of tables/chairs outside. The seafoam green is hard to miss and pretty aesthetically pleasing in contrast to the shades of coffee brown. Street parking only. Would definitely stop by next time I'm in town!

I tried their Americano with thick lavender creme and it was subtle yet nice. Never had an Americano like that and I didn't hate it. I say that because I normally do take my coffee on the dark side with zero to a splash of milk. But this did look appealing so I said why not be different today lol They also had food tried the bulgolgi burrito it was okay very hearty on the meat and had two eggs on it but I felt something was missing? It wasn't bad def massive and I felt like I had enough for 3 total meals lol Ventured out here after taking Ruby out to the vet hospital and needed to kill time for pick up. Def would be back again. You could see they knew the locals as many frequent this spot as a grab and go coffee joint. Great vibes and massive outdoor patio with lots of seating for working as well! !

Travis was so accommodating, even though at some point we had taken over several tables (in our defense it was not particularly busy). Now, I come here sometimes when I'm not running late to work/have some extra time to spare in the morning. The space is set up great for catching up with friends (like we did) or getting some work done (I always see at least one person on a laptop when I drop by). There's a little parking lot right in front, and I've been able to park there easily each visit. I normally order some sort of cold coffee. On my most recent visit I got a blue mint latte, which was both aesthetically pleasing and delicious. I'm also a fan of the pastries. I've had some sort of tomato pastry and a jalapeño cheese croissant, both of which satisfied whatever savory craving I was having. I appreciate the resources posted, the signage that's up, and the community events that happen here. The energy and intention behind this space are wonderful.

So crazy, I live up the road, work down the road and drive on Pico all the time that I have never noticed them until last week. Walking in this place is your typical Los Angeles hipster coffee shop. Perfect for what this neighborhood has seemed to be changing into the past few years that I've lived in the neighborhood. Customer service was all right. Not necessarily friendly, I walked in and it took a minute for someone to acknowledge me. Now maybe to their credit it's because I was awkwardly standing by the pick up area but still nonetheless a hello good morning welcome would have been nice. Two drinks cost me $15. Like I said, LA. But for the credit, they were both very good. I'll be back for breakfast and more drinks so an updated review is to come. But for now, I recommend them for a a good cup of joe in the neighborhood.
