    04/03/26 Saturday Friend helped me order a First Bump (which has black sesame during this season). It surprisingly blend really well with the coffee and milk. It was really creamy and nutty. Pleasantly surprised and now a new favorite! I will say, for the size, $7 is a little steep, but it can be an occassional treat. I will say, I appreciated how to cup has a snap on drinking hole cover instead of the flimsy ones that don't fully close.

    The coffee blend I really enjoyed. It wasn't too acidic and the flavors and notes of the espresso shine even through the jasmine tea. Service was good and gave recommendations! The cafe is spacious and very clean. Wait was not long at all. Prices were kinda up there, but that's not surprising considering how most cafes have $6-8 lattes, esp if you need alternatives and adjustments. Will be going back!

    I'm not from the area and I've had this cafe near my friend's house bookmarked for a while! I love the uncommon ingredients they have in their drinks, and I chose the Jasmine Latte ($7). You can taste the Jasmine syrup and even as a latte, it somehow also tastes like a milk tea! I'm curious to try a drink with their black sesame syrup next time. There is a parking lot at the back that we weren't aware of, so we parked around the corner on the street. A lot of seating and the high ceiling is nice, staff were friendly. My friend tried the Cloudy ($7) which is described as red date, pear, and cream, so she wasn't expecting coffee to be in it LOL. Now you know! I only wish they closed later than 4:30pm T-T

    Needed a real quick pick me up after doing 2 late night Jiluka concerts in a row, driving from NorCal to SoCal and then doing a day long maid cafe event and Yihui Coffee wasn't too far and we wanted to try something new. Service is efficient and our drinks came out decently quickly. This was around lunch time on a Sunday. As with almost every new drink or coffee place, minimalist aesthetic and a place for people to study and catch up I suppose. Wouldn't say it's the most unique. We got the: 1) Hojicha Latte: -We got this iced and you have the option to sweeten it with simple syrup or something else. We got this with a black sesame flavor and just the standard milk that it came with. -Not too sweet, but the taste of the sesame or even the hojicha can be a bit stronger as we've had similar drinks to this that were more appealing. 2) Iced Chocolate Milk: -I mean you can't really mess this up to be honest. It's mixed well and doesn't taste scathingly sweet like a bottled chocolate milk. My boyfriend got a no sugar coffee here and it still tasted pretty sweet (like unadjusted Starbucks sweet) and it was just tossed into my chocolate milk because he couldn't stomach it. Overall, it's just okay. I'm not really a coffee person, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

    This café has a minimalist interior design with plenty of seating, making it a comfortable spot to relax, study, or catch up with friends. Their menu is fairly simple and not overly extensive when it comes to drink options, which makes ordering straightforward. I ordered an iced Americano with sweetener on the side, and it was a solid choice. Parking can sometimes be a challenge, but they do offer additional parking behind the building if street parking is full, which is convenient. Overall, it's a nice, simple café with a clean atmosphere and a comfortable amount of seating.

    Found this hidden gem. I like this coffee spot. It's simple and chill. It's not a big coffee shop, but there is about 9 small tables. They offer specialty coffee beans. Service was good. I just got a pour over and the barista taste the drink beforehand to make sure it's a good drink. The customers here were also fairly quiet and not loud. Nice place to enjoy a cup of coffee.

    Yihui is one of my go-to coffee spots for the studyability and their good quality coffee! They have a moderate number of tables along the wall with plenty of outlets and wifi available. Workers are always friendly and give great recommendations. I have been here numerous times, and my favorite items have been their lychee tonic (though on the pricier end for $9) and the Fist Bump (small black sesame breve), but I also love their hot flat white, as it has the balance of their strong and smooth espresso flavor with the perfect balance of milk. I have also enjoyed the Cloudy, which has subtle notes of red date and pear with a cream top. The drink was nicely balanced and not too sweet. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their coffee drinks, which have strong coffee notes. I also love their coffee cakes, which tend to sell out pretty quickly by midday. The cake is rich and moist with a nice cinnamon-sugar top and pairs nicely with coffee. They have plenty of parking in the back lot. Definitely check them out if you're in the area!

    Yihui Coffee caught my attention due to its minimalist interior and selection of drink menus. The store is located on Garvey ave and could be easy to miss. I was in the area on a weekday and decided to stop by before work to grab a coffee. I went at around 8:30 AM and it was busy with many folks doing work. After looking at the menu, I had a hard time trying to figure out what to get given the selection! I asked for a recommendation between drinks and they mentioned if I want a hot drink - Miso White would be good; for a cold drink - Lychee Tonic would be ideal. It was a hotter day, so I opted for the Lychee Tonic. Since it was busy, the wait was ~ 10 minutes for the drink. After giving it a try, it tasted refreshing but I didn't really get the lychee taste. Not the best first impression with the tonic. However, I'd still consider coming back considering their ambience. Also absolutely interested to try their pour over options! Parking is available in the back of the building. American Express is accepted here.

    Yihui is my go-to coffee spot when I'm in the area. I wish their cups were a tad bigger but overall Yihui is a quality coffee shop! I usually order the Cloudy or Fist bump. It seems like they switch off the flavor at times, but the Fist bump is the best black sesame coffee I've had! Cloudy is more of a refreshing tonic. They also offer pastries from Tropicana Bakery. There's plenty of tables to sit and yap, and I've seen people with their laptops. There's a parking lot in the back or street parking.

    I'd comment most on the sizes of the drinks... they're overpriced for such a small cup. I understand if hot drinks need to be different sizes but why was my friend's iced drink also that same small size and it's not mentioned anywhere on the menu? It was such a bad experience and the drinks were 6/10 at best so I would not come back to this location.

    Excellent Americano and a very nice spacious place. Love the ambience of this coffee shop, and love that they have a Slayer espresso machine, too! You can tell it's different Americano because of the more modern, foward-tasting notes that's more typical of Slayer. Slightly more woodsy, and layered than your heavier, rounded espresso drinks from a La Marzocco. The ham and cheese croissant is light, crispy, and very delicious. It's a great case of less is more when you don't need a heavy sandwich but expect delicious clean flavor. I ended up buying their Espresso Blend, and I can't wait to try it on my Profitec Go espresso machine at home.

    Yihui Coffee is a study-friendly cafe, which meant it was hard to find a table upon arrival last Sunday afternoon. We had to stand around for 10-15 minutes before we got the next available table. My cousin and I ordered each ordered a pour over. I got a washed Ethiopian from BlendIn Coffee based in Houston, TX with yuzu tea and peach tasting notes. I enjoyed the citrus brightness of my pour over. The baristas at Yihui are pretty meticulous, and we received a coffee intro card with the coffee information, water temperature, and extraction time. The extra details were a nice touch. My cousin's Mexican pour over was on the nutty side. It was well-brewed, but not my favorite. Along with our coffees, we were given complimentary bites of pineapple cakes to enjoy. However, we both didn't like the after taste of the pastry, and left most of it. All in all, the baristas care about craft and their pour overs at Yihui. I would definitely recommend if you're into this type of coffee.

    Been here a few times already and can say it is a pretty solid coffee choice. My go to is the Cloudy since it is unique. They use date syrup in the date/pear cream top and the cream is smooth and slightly fruity balancing well with the Americano. Have also tried their flat white and hojicha latte hot with simple syrup and thought they were all good quality. Only problem is that the price is on the higher side for the size. For reference, the Cloudy is 14 oz ($7) but their prices include tax so I think it is fair for the quality. Also got their regular croissants ($5.50) a couple of times and it was buttery and flaky. Parking lot in the back. Service was fast. Would definitely come back but just not often due to the price point.

    A late review to the trend, but this coffee shop is literally one of the few must recommended…read morespecialty shop around the greater LA region. Highly sophisticated and quality driven, Loquat offers exceptional coffee in every cup. The interior is minimal and clean, though seating space is very limited, as the space is quite small. There is a small counter that seats 4 people and a bench seat along the window that fits maybe 3 more? There are outdoor patio seats that can fit up to 3-4 small groups. The guest capacity can quickly get full. Plus, the shop is usually very busy in the AM. You can expect it to be emptier in the noon though. What I love about this shop can be a bit of bias. I enjoy light roast, single origin coffee, and this place is a perfect spot for it. Loquat usually has at least one or two rare coffee offering like Gesha and processing such as anaerobic fermentation. I always like the presentation of the drinks that are being served, and Loquat has one of the exceptional ones for their espresso. It comes in a mini chilled glass and a 'bougie' tiny spoon. Their signature beverage is the Mascarpone Latte, which is a shot of espresso with muscovado milk, topped with a thick, cloud of house made mascarpone cheese foam. Delicious! As for the parking, it is all street and neighborhood parking. The shop is situated on the corner of the Main Street and a neighborhood road. Usually, you would probably have to expect a bit of distance when looking for parking. It gets little challenging. But the place around it isn't nearly as crowded. Just a lot of residents taking up space.

    Customer service was genuine from the Asian cashier to the girl baristas. There was no entitlement…read morebarista vibes here as you feel in LA coffee shops, which was such a comfort. I felt like o had gone back in time to when people were humanly nice. There almond latte was executed perfectly. The beans were a little light for my taste, but everything was perfect.
