    Ube latte, ube latte with matcha
    Neha N.

    Started my Saturday morning in Little Tokyo at Yoboseyo Superette! The photos only yelp drew me in, especially seeing the drink containers :) Overall a solid spot. Friendly and welcoming staff, and the cafe has a warm cozy vibe to it. Some of the treats they sell at the counter looked appealing and they also sell a lot of random goods. I got the impression some of it was by local vendors? I didn't really understand what was behind the cafe as you could go up stairs. At first I thought it was to find seating but I think it's something unrelated to Yoboseyo. I did like my ube latte but it was just okay. The ube flavor had that chemical aftertaste and there wasn't something like coconut to help balance it.

    Iced Ube latte

    Yoboseyo's iced ube latte in Japantown is such a treat. The espresso is bold and flavorful, pairing perfectly with the smooth, subtly sweet ube, nothing overpowering, just really well balanced. You can tell the drink is thoughtfully made, not just pretty. And speaking of pretty, the container is absolutely adorable, which makes the whole experience even better. It's one of those drinks that tastes as good as it looks. If you're in Japantown and want something fun but still high quality, this iced ube latte is a must-try

    This was so cute and delicious! The service is so cute and literally iconic. The baristas are so chatty and give their recommendations to newbies like me. And! They come in these cute cups. These are super cheap for the quality and taste. This is now my go to spot in Little Tokyo to walk around strut as I walk and shop. I love that they feature small businesses and local vendors. From greenery & books, to things for our furry babies on the go! It's a must stop shop. I recommend the Honey Oat Milk Latte!

    Yoboseyo is a cute place that doesn't just have good coffee, it also has good pastries, kitchen items, snacks, chocolate, healthy lunch boxes, cooking books, soap , stickers, greeting cards, dried flower bouquets & more. I love their cold brew and scones. The blueberry scone was so delicious. It's not dry... crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside side but not too cakey. I sometimes get a cappuccino and I've tried the blue lemonade. The cold brew & lemonade comes in a cool can like container. It is a long clear can (plastic) with their cute logo. This place is mainly a grab & go place. There is another floor for a Ju jitsu flight club and they do their coffee roasting. And sometimes there are small events like a market. Employees are friendly. Fast service. There are milk alternatives. I don't drink milk because I'm lactose intolerant. I always get Oatmilk. Street parking, city parking lot & Joe's parking lot near by.

    Iced Latte

    Small little coffee shop/ boutique. Saw it on Yelp with great reviews, what drew me in was the presentation of their ice latte in a bootleg with a soda cap. Looks good so I said why not! Did I make the right decision? Uh yes! My coffee was delicious and strong! It's unique experience to walk in and see books, souvenirs and small snacks, and the smell of coffee is what will keep you in. Must try! Service quick.

    Blueberry matcha
    Julia V.

    cute place in little Tokyo! It's always been a must to go here whenever I'm in the area. The store is a such fun little stop to just look around what they got. The workers here have always been so sweet and kind! I have always always always gotten the blueberry matcha especially before other shops started making blueberry matcha's! First of all, I love the packaging and the flavors are just so yum! It's a perfect balance of blueberry sweetness to rich matcha. I honestly haven't tried any other drink yet but this place is definitely worth a try!

    Yeoboseyo (여보세요) is such a unique place in little Tokyo! Definitely a hidden gem with either street parking or structure parking. I personally park within the structure for $15 flat rate but you can park for cheaper either on the street or in other lots! My favorites here have to be their packaging and unique items. The interior is beautiful and you can spend a good amount of time going through all their items. We ordered the blueberry matcha and regular matcha! I enjoyed their regular matcha over their blueberry personally. If you prefer sweeter tastes, the regular matcha over the premium is suggested! I personally enjoy my matcha sweet so the regular matcha was a solid choice. If I am ever in the area, I'd definitely come back to visit this cute store!

    Ube taro
    Tiffany A.

    Tucked away at the USC village is the cutest boba shop with an artisan boutique feel of many hand crafted and unique items. There was so much to look at inside. They also have a market type vibe with many grocery type items to stock up on. The ube taro was very creamy, wish it was stronger ube a flavor. But classic coconut-y like flavor. Boba was good. They had some seating inside but plenty of outdoor seating in the village. Plus 2 hour free parking downstairs. Even though there was a line inside they were quick. There was one guy on the register but working two registers at once. I'll probably come again.

    1. The tea was refreshing, and I love the packaging! The staff also offered to heat up the banana loaf for me! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes with variety of items! The market side was a bit cozy, but the upper area is more spacious! 3. There was only indoor seatings available! There is only few seats available! 4. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It took about 5 mins! 5. There are paid street parking and parking lots available nearby! Note: This spot does not have a restroom available for customers! They did recommend other places that would have restroom available! Photo: Tropic Thunder and Banana Loaf

    From growing up in the 626, I know that "Yoboseyo" is a common Korean greeting on the phone. Coming into this small boutique store/cafe, I felt that it was, indeed, welcoming and I liked that they featured tasty Asian pantry items and cool knick-knacks from Asian-owned small businesses in LA/OC. They have some nice local flavor as they carried a nice selection of chili oils, sauces, Asian ice creams and boutique soaps/candles. I've purchased some of these items elsewhere (ONDO Soap, Roberto Hot Sauce, BOON chili oil), and I feel that this store has curated some high-quality goods that have high usefulness. If you're looking for some nice, useful gifts for a friend (or for yourself), then this is an interesting place to check out. From this visit, my wife got a refreshing tea here; however, I enjoyed perusing all of the things that they were selling on their shelves. I feel that this is a hidden gem that's worth checking out as you're walking around Little Tokyo. If you're having trouble finding it, it's pretty close to Book Off and Shoe Palace.

    Yoboseyo Superette is a speciality marketplace that is like a bodega, gift shop, and cafe all in one! This spot is located in Little Tokyo where there is a nearby paid parking garage or street parking all around the area. Inside, they have a nice open space filled with tons of curated AAPI products. You can order a drink, get a pastry, a book, a candle, something for your dog, or tons of other stuff here. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. I always like to stop by and see the new stuff they have and to grab a drink before I walk around the area. Come stop by here to check them out and you will definitely not leave empty handed!

    Pop-Up Fun in Little Tokyo! A special pop-up event for Jin of the popular Japanese group is lighting up Little Tokyo and the whole neighborhood is joining in the fun! From trendy merch to unique finds, this variety store is packed with goodies for the pickin'. Whether you're a fan or just love discovering something new, this spot is a must-visit. Swing by if you're in the area and don't forget to tell them Team Smiley sent you!

    I always love wandering Little Tokyo for their variety of knick knack stores. Yoboseyo Superette is the latest addition, specializing in AAPI-owned goods and produce. I loved browsing everything from ice cream to pet supplies. They even have a cute ceramic section. Everything is thoughtfully curated and pleasant to learn more about. I'll definitely be back for more snacks!

Apparently they have a long standing history in LA, having opened in 1946 after World War II. The shop occupies the site of the first Japanese-owned business in Los Angeles, circa 1890's. Pretty cool! I have a soft spot for everything animal shaped and soo.... I picked up a fun/odd felt tiger Christmas ornament, a cat pen, and a super cute bronze cat shaped spoon that hangs on the side of your cup. Did I need it? No.... but it's fun and makes me happy.

Maneki Neko also operates a sister concept store called CATCH Little Tokyo located on the third floor of Japanese Village Plaza. [Parking]: As long as there are no special events in Little Tokyo, the Aiso Parking Garage (101 Judge John Aiso St) is your best bet. [Selection]: The shop has transitioned from primarily selling traditional decor / ceramics / cosmetics (which the shop still carries but in a smaller section) to focusing mainly on plushies and blind boxes featuring IPs like Sanrio, Pokémon, and other Japanese anime. Even though an officially licensed Sanrio store is located next door, Maneki Neko still has an excellent selection of Sanrio items that you can't find at the next-door licensed Sanrio store. [Conclusion]: This is one of those shops where I can probably find a Sanrio plush that I am willing to buy as a gift. It is a perfect example of a thriving shop that has learned to adapt by keeping up with changing consumer tastes.

I don't think anything can ever beat the old Arcadia location when I got super cheap and nice cosmetics for around $1 (think Missha and Majolica Marjorca, but this only happened when things reopened after the lock down), but you can still find some good deals here. Similar to the Arcadia location, there's a mix of legitimate items here and a couple questionable, potentially bootleg items, so make sure you check and read the labels and compare prices online and the such. I like how this location plays into the culture and touristy-ness of the Little Tokyo with the daruma statue photo op in front and the pressed penny machine. I'm a sucker for pressed pennies, so this was nice. I've gotten super cheap sword props for cosplay, cute super cheap random character plushies and merchandise (think generic cats), and in an ocean of blind box slop shops in LT, I prefer Maneki Neko in comparison.

[Parking]: Metered parking only with several paid parking lot options available in Chinatown. There are some free parking spots along Yale St. & College St. [Selection]: The shop offers various cute T-shirts, sweaters, hoodies, hats, art prints, red envelopes, stickers (buy 5 stickers get the 6th free), magnets, keychains, canvas totes, etc. All designs are original and created by Chunky's artists. This is one of the few gift shops with a big design focus on Shohei and his dog Decoy. Customers can add a frame to any art print for $15.
