    This establishment is in the same plaza as granny's donuts. I needed a pick me up, so I ordered a dirty matcha with strawberry. If you order it with half the sweetner it is a perfect drink. My drink was 9 dollars but that's because I got it with oat-milk. Real strawberries with a pocky stick to top off my lovely drink. Thank you Mr. Yolo for my delicious drink. Atom you would have eaten my pocky stick.

    Recommended by my friends. I got the melon drink with added boba. Drink itself was okay. Nothing special. I just think it's too expensive. This is $6+ .75 to add boba. Plus tax of more than $7, I don't think it's worth it. But the service was great and the guy at the cash register was friendly. Place was nicely decorated.

    This cafe is for the girlies! Yolo's cafe is that girl, the environment is so welcoming. The barista is so sweet and friendly, I came here to study and I felt comfortable to stay, the pistachio coffee was perfect! Not too strong and not too sweet. The peach green tea was bomb! The tea wasn't too bitter and the peach bits gave it a nice flavor. The owner was so kind he gave my sister and I a little snack because we were studying! So sweet! 10/10

    Beautiful drink. Plenty of seating. The drink itself tasted like matcha with Hershey's syrup, so not bad but nothing super special!

    When we entered I will say it was great customer service. They were kind and my order came out in a good time. We got an m&m candy for waiting which was nice of them. This place is first and foremost a boba spot. Their matcha looked good and I wanted to give them a try. I ordered a lotus matcha with almond milk and 50% sweetness. The cream top was the perfect consistency and what I love on matcha...but the actual drink wasn't it. It didn't taste like quality match and more of a green tea latte you buy with boba. It tasted sweet and overall felt as if I was drinking sugar. For boba? This place looks great and I'm sure does amazing! But for good matcha? I'll pass.

    Lotus Matcha

    *Note: TDLR at the end of the review Lotus Matcha: 7/10 It's on the lighter side. I had to sort of concentrate to see if I can taste the lotus, but realized it was a biscuit drink!! Haha it's super super subtle in this drink. Great ice to drink ratio. Drink doesn't get watered down. The biscoff and biscuit topping was very cute and aesthetic. Doesn't effect the flavor of the drink, but wanted to note. Not for those who like sweeter drinks. Service: 10/10 The cashier was super friendly to every customer I saw him encounter. He gave this baby a little chocolate egg and gave some Christmas carolers some money haha. It was only him in the store, so give lenience when it comes to time. My drink came out in like 5-10 minutes though. Ambiance: 8/10 A great place to hangout with friends or doodle. Not the best place to study, but definitely could become one! There's only one table with available outlets, no restroom, and the music was a bit loud, but didn't bother me at all. Free wifi and inside is air conditioned, but not freezing. I loved that there's seat cushions available!! In a small parking lot, so you might have a hard time finding parking. Easy walking distance from John Bosco High School. TDLR: Great place for a hangout! Not the greatest for studying, but you definitely can. Free wifi, no restrooms, limited outlets, loud music. Oddly enough I honestly loved it. Felt super comfortable, but def not for everyone. Small parking lot. Lotus matcha is on the lighter side! Not for those that like drinks on the sweeter side.

    Don't let the slightly sketchy exterior fool you, YOLO Cafe is basically a cozy little treasure chest once you walk inside. Instant vibes. When I got there, a girl was typing away on her laptop, a couple was deep in study mode, and two girls were yapping. Truly a "choose your own adventure" kind of café. The music? Chef's kiss. Not blasting your ears off, not whispering -- just perfectly vibey. Seating-wise, they've got options: * Three tables that can fit a group of six if you don't mind sitting cute and close * Two tables for four * A counter with two seats * And a couch for max coziness The whole vibe is super cutesy. The worker was so friendly -- gave me a warm smile and instantly made the place feel even cozier. Oh -- and apparently free pastries on Mondays (don't quote me, but that's what he said). Mine was warm, tasty, and honestly made me feel a little spoiled. I got the strawberry matcha with oat milk and strawberry cream, and WOW. The strawberry cream was fluffy, the matcha was delicious, and the bits of strawberry at the bottom were everything. I drank it so fast I practically mourned the empty cup

    Really great spot! I get the peach matcha and it's so yummy! My mom tried the strawberry cheesecake croffle (croissant waffle) and said that it's definitely one of the best desserts she's ever had. Good service, good seating, great dessert menu, and extensive drink menu!

    Hands down the best matcha I've ever had! I don't see myself going anywhere else for matcha anymore Yolo Cafe is officially my go to spot. The quality and flavor are unmatched. On top of that, the owner is incredibly kind and welcoming. He always has a smile on his face and makes every visit feel warm and friendly. Great drinks and even better service highly recommend!

    Ean's warmth instantly lifts your mood the moment you walk in. You're greeted with a cozy, inviting atmosphere and genuinely kind baristas who make you feel right at home. The music is chill and hip -- full of great tunes I'd never heard before but immediately loved. This is the kind of spot you go out of your way to visit. They've only been open for seven months, but I truly want to see them blow up to Starbucks-level fame because they absolutely deserve it. I tried their specialty drink -- the "must-try" matcha topped with matcha cold foam -- and it was epic. Don't sleep on this place. Ean even surprises Yelpers with a delicious croffle (a croissant + waffle combo that's heavenly). I originally planned to grab my drink to go, but the vibe was so good I ended up staying. That says it all.

    This is hands down the best matcha in town. Totally worth the wait, if there is one. Limited parking, but also worth it to park elsewhere and walk!

    What a great cafe! Came during the week and experienced a very welcoming atmosphere. Ordered the strawberry matcha and banana matcha as well as a pastry. This place is great to hang out and enjoy their various card and board games available. I received the drinks and pastry quickly and presentation was excellent. To top it off, they were delicious! I recommend this place!

    Mango Matcha and Blueberry Matcha

    Ive been coming here for a couple months and I have to say it's the best matcha i've ever tried. True matcha flavor and no artificial sweeteners. The customer service from the owner Ian is amazing. A must try place. Plus the massage chair and board games are always a plus. Shop

I am taking a certificate course for my job and needed a place get some homework done. It was bustling today, which I was surprised for Sunday. The young ladies attending me today were very welcoming and nice. I ordered the Iced Strawberry Latte with Almond Milk. I love this drink neither too coffee tasting nor too sweet just right. They do have a few outlets for you to plug in your laptops or devices. The wifi does not have a password it's a general wifi. I generally like one with a password-my preference . I loved all the 90s-2000s music they were playing too!! Whether you're looking just to grab a quick coffee and pastry, to gather with friends or get some work done Coffee Code offers something for everyone. They have featured drinks for summer.

I ordered an iced caramel latte, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The espresso was rich and flavorful, while the caramel added just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the drink. I also loved that they use coffee ice cubes, it kept the latte from getting watered down, and honestly, I thought it tasted even better as it sat. The staff was friendly, and our drinks came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. The only downside was the atmosphere. It's a very small shop with seating for maybe 20 people inside, plus 4 small two-person tables outside (without any shade). When we visited, almost everyone else was working on laptops, so it didn't feel like the best place to sit and chat. The music was also fairly loud and mostly K-pop, which didn't really match the coffee shops aesthetic and made conversation a little more difficult. Parking was probably my biggest complaint. There are only four dedicated parking spots, and the surrounding residential street parking was completely packed. I ended up parking in the chicken restaurant's lot across the street. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee, it was genuinely one of the better iced caramel lattes I've had. If you're looking to grab a quality drink to go, I'd highly recommend it. Just be prepared for limited seating and a challenging parking situation.

It was a little tricky to find at first because the GPS takes you to the Bungalows A, but they're actually located in Bungalows E and share the space with a skincare shop -- once you find it, it's totally worth it. The service was 10/10. The owners were incredibly kind and took the time to walk me through step-by-step how to make my favorite drink at home. I was even able to purchase the loose-leaf tea to recreate it myself! They had actually discontinued that particular tea, but he still helped me out, which I truly appreciated. I tried the Banana Nut Latte and it is SO good. It's an herbal tea-based drink, super flavorful and cozy. I also love that you can customize your sweetness level or keep it completely sugar-free. Highly recommend for anyone who loves quality loose-leaf teas and genuinely amazing customer service. I'll definitely be back!

The earlier you come, the more dessert options you'll have. They also have all day breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu which I did not try, but everything looked super tasty. I got a few desserts and a matcha strawberry foam latte (they use ceremonial grade matcha) and the biscoff latte. Loved that both weren't overly sweet and the biscoff latte had a rich coffee taste. My favorite dessert by far was the banana mousse. By the time we left, the line was out the door. Even though it was packed, the servers are super friendly and take the time to make sure you're enjoying yourself. Definitely a must try place if you're in Downey. No need to go to LA to try those over hyped dessert places. One Twelve Cafe does it just as good, if not better and they have many more tasty options to choose from.
