The valet staff were really nice about it. The café has a cool industrial vibe with exposed ceilings, concrete floors, warm lighting, and some unique vintage touches. It definitely has more character than your typical modern coffee shop. They also have a good selection of pastries, cookies, and other baked goods. I ordered an Espresso Tonic and an Iced Americano. The Espresso Tonic was really refreshing and had a nice citrusy kick. I enjoyed the flavor, but the portion was surprisingly small, which was a little disappointing. The staff inside were friendly and nice as well. Overall, I liked the coffee, service, and atmosphere. I'd definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

The music isn't too loud, which makes it such a perfect, underrated cafe in Ktown for studying, working, or just relaxing. They also have a mural of cats and dogs in the back which I thought was so cute! [Parking 5/5]: There's plenty of free parking in the front, which is such a huge plus in ktown! They also have the cutest selection of merch! From tote bags and tshirts to matcha sets and their own coffee beans, I just love the entire aesthetic of this cafe.

I got the hojicha latte by its house special, choice and recommended hojicha powder with oatmilk and absolute no fuss customer service. I would like to repeat this order with a foam so that the upcharge is worth it though. Not to mention, that variety of hojicha is definitely Korean whereas the matcha shifts recommendations season-to-season and depends upon the syrups of the shifting preferences in-house.

And they are so sweet and do not rush anyone, you can stay here as long as you want. My friends and I WFH so we decided to Work From MemoryLook (WFML) one day together. I'm glad we did! Great pastries in the morning, i had the cremme brûlée donut which had tons of filling, and the pea foam matcha latte which was fantastic. And I had an EXCELLENT chicken Chipotle wrap at lunch that was recommended to me by the gentleman working at memory look. I'm not certain where these wraps are made. Another gentleman would bring them from the building in the same complex. I LOVED my wrap. They have a ton of seating outside too but there aren't any outlets out there so it's harder to WFH out there unless you're fully charged. But was great for separate meetings we all had to attend.

Parking is also pretty convenient with a good amount of spaces available. When I visited, though, there weren't many desserts on display. For drinks, they don't offer a double matcha option, but you can order a matcha latte with Einspänner cream instead. The drink itself was good, although I found the prices a little higher compared to other matcha spots I've tried. Service was on the slower side, and it took a while for the drinks to come out. The staff were okay, but not particularly friendly. (+) Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, convenient parking (-) Pricier than other matcha spots, slower drink preparation, and no double matcha option

Lots of interesting choices. The drinks were well balanced and not overly sweet, so you could actually taste the coffee instead of having it covered up by syrups or other flavors.

Delicious cakes! Whether it's for a birthday, graduation, baby shower or wedding, my family has been ordering from this place for years! The restaurant caters mostly to the predominant Hispanic community of Los Angeles so aside from their specialty- the "Tres Leches" cakes ( a must) , they also serve traditional Mexican and El Savadorian dishes as well. Food: A personal favorite is the Pollo Guisado and Enchiladas. They are tasty but my brother vouches for the simple burger and chicken specials. Cakes: Upon ordering your cake, the server gives you an option of fresh fruit filling - fresh strawberries, mangos, peaches, bananas, pineapples or a combination of all of the above and discusses the cake style with you. They have a "default" pink or blue style that is beautiful but it can be customized to your liking if you choose otherwise. If you're out to try something new, I highly recommend an addition of the Tres Leches to your order. (It's basically a sweet mix poured on top of your spongey cake to soak in the extra sweetness). Ordering: Service is fast and friendly although I would highly recommend ordering your cakes at least a few days in advance through phone or walk-in. However, if you are on the go and need a cake immediately, they have cakes that are freshly made daily as well but I believe the downside is that those sizes are limited to 15-25 people. They also offer to make the cake within a few hours if they are not too busy and you are willing to wait. Ambiance: If you're looking for some smoozy, expensive bakery, look elsewhere because I believe one of the beauties of this restaurant is its ability to serve the actual community of Los Angeles. True, the furniture is a bit outdated but the price is affordable, food is traditional and the restaurant has an "A" rating from the health department. What more do you want? read more

From delicious Chinese almond cookie to Mexican rico bread to sweet rolls. had the popusa with beans n cheese, cheese, and beef - all three were DELICIOUS! Annie's cheesecakes are perfectly sweet, light n fluffy, creamy, but still dense as a cheesecake should be. the cheesecake was dipped in chocolate, but it gave it a beautiful and delicious chocolate crust. i'll definitely be back soon. read more

Their menu lets you build your own pancake with unlimited toppings, and they also offer some Signature flavors for those who don't want to do any building. But of course, you can customize the signature to your liking as well. They recomended I try the Mazapan Lovers, which is topped with tres leches, caramel, white chocolate, strawberries and mazapan crumbs. They also had a really cute seasonal grinch item that I had to get in the spirit of Christmas! I ordered both and I was glad I did. The seasonal grinch pancake was absolutely adorable! I loved the christmas vibes and I added nutella and fruits to make my grinchmas pancake extra yummy! The Mazapan Lovers is just out of this world delicious. When I first saw him driziling a whole bunch of stuff on the pancakes, I admit I was a bit worried it'd be too sweet. But as soon as I took a bite of the pancakes, my eyes lit up like the heart eyes apple emoji! I found myself looking for more of that delicious sauce and soaking each pancake in that magical tres leches! Amazing pancakes with really cool people! Will be back for the Mazapan Lovers!
