    Matcha latte
    Josh S.

    This place is perfect for getting work or studying done! Tons of outlets to plug your laptop and phone into. It's also pretty quiet too. Lots of setting and the drinks are good not amazing but it definitely gets the job done. There's a parking lot with limited parking but you get an 1hr in some of the parking spots. Also street parking in the neighborhood and on wilshire. What's most important for me is lots of outlets, environment where I can focus and aesthetic. Awesome Coffee has all of that. Also just a heads up it's on the 2nd floor of this mini mall complex and not sure if there's an elevator. My wife and I took the stairs. Try it out! Also this spot is open late til 2am! One of the few coffee shops I know that are open that late!

    After eating dinner in ktown, we were looking to see what would be a good way to end the night for my belated birthday celebration. Eventually I decided on checking this place out as the aesthetics and vibes were what I was feeling that night. The coffee shop is located in a small corner plaza in koreatown. You'll either be lucky with parking or have to find street parking nearby. There's also a valet at the plaza but I think that's mainly for the restaurant there. Upon entering, it is very much like a college student study cafe area. It's moderately decorated to look like a reading area in one corner, the rest looking modern for the folks who want to get work done. Despite the small area, I think the spacing allotted per table was just right as it didn't feel too cramped. I ordered a simple latte to end the night on a good note. Not too expensive overall for the cup, and my friend got the matcha affogato which tasted pretty good to them too.

    Matcha Latte

    I used to love coming to this spot to study years back. The ambiance and music really put me in a locking in mood. I recently dropped by and ordered a matcha latte. Please order what they're known for, which is their coffee. I can vouch for how their coffee tastes but I could not enjoy this matcha drink. The worker that day didn't hear my order when I said it 3 times because they had their earphone on? However, the owner for this place is always so on top of it and works so hard! Drop by if you ever need a place to study. I will say the parking is a little hard but the metro is pretty close by

    Probably the first late night coffee shop I've found. Being a night owl, always love to find somewhere that caters to those who stay up a bit later than the average person - they don't close until 2am. You'll find some great drinks here. Their matcha latte stays true to the matcha flavor while also being super refreshing with the lemonade. A delicious, light choice. Their strawberry matcha latte was also tasty - richer and more decadent - good for someone with a sweeter tooth. Didn't grab food, but they had a great selection of food if you're hungry or plan to stay a bit longer. We came after midnight, and it was still packed. We got the last available table. So definitely a more popular place for meeting up and getting work done. Drinks are a bit pricier. Overall, a good choice for coffee and getting down last minute work done.

    Had a meeting and wanted a coffee shop that was open late. Koreatown seemed like a neutral place to meet and that's where the search engine took me. Awesome Coffee is AWESOME and located upstairs in a shopping complex. As you walk in you are welcomed into a cozy living room style set up with quaint seating, shelves of books and games. People were busy on their laptops or in conversation with one another. The barista was very nice and the menu had breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts. We ordered the strawberry matcha latte and the peanut butter latter with almond milk. I will definitely go back again.

    I've come here twice now to study and have had great experiences each time! I can't speak to their pastries or drinks other than their matcha, but the study atmosphere is fantastic. I'm unsure exactly how parking works in the plaza (the cafe is upstairs) but I park across the street in the parking spot for Tom N Toms Black coffee, since it is a little more protected. There are plenty of spaces to sit, when I came here on a Saturday midday it was a little more busy but on a Saturday morning, you can definitely get a corner to yourself. There are some nicer sofa chairs, as well as spaces along their window. The wifi is free and easy to use, and there are many outlets for you to use. There is plenty of natural lighting as well from the large windows. My only regret is that I forgot my laptop charger one of the times I was here. The matcha latte is not the most concentrated but still a great taste and not too watered down, I always get it iced but my friend's hot version came with cute latte art in a mug. The service was great and my drink did not take long to come out. The pricing is pretty standard for cafe drinks these days, and isn't absurd. I would definitely come again if I need to get some work done.

    Horchata Latte
    Andy T.

    With my continued search of finding good study spots, I stopped by Awesome Coffee. This is located on the second floor. There is an available parking lot shared with other businesses. I went around 10 am on a Saturday and it wasn't busy at the time. For the interior, it felt more spacious compared to how it looked outside. There were many seats for small groups to single seating by the window. There were outlets available primarily near the window. There's also free WiFi with the code available at the front register. It was good and reliable connection. The noise level was mainly low, but could be moderate when the staff was using their machine. For my order, I was craving something sweeter that day. I decided to get a Horchata latte with oat milk. It was definitely a sweet drink. You'll like this drink if you have a sweet tooth. The drink was ready within 5 minutes. If you need a restroom, there is a shared one located in the back. Note: American express is accepted.

    Great little spot for a late night snack and catching up on homework. They're open till 2am so if you're a night owl and want to be out for a bit, definitely a great spot. Decent food and tasty drinks. Located in a small plaza with a parking lot

    What a pleasant spot to stop in take a breather and refresh one's self! The lighting is great and the service is tops! I ordered a matcha for me and my barber and it is delicious I recommend an iced matcha with oat milk which is expensive and the taste is amazing! No need to add anything else thank you team!

    Avocado Toast Sandwich
    Krysanne B.

    I visited on a saturday afternoon and stayed for a few hours to get some work done. Very cool vibes. Great atmosphere to just kick it with a friend or slap on your headphones and get some work or studying done. I do recommend headphones, not that it gets loud, just because it fills up fast and headphones are good for blocking out other people's conversations. Lots of outlets which is super convenient but the wifi is a bit unreliable so have your Hotspot ready (reason for my 1 star deduction). Service was great and food was great. I had avocado toast which was really good, nice and fresh, great flavor with the balsamic drizzle. Also had an iced dirty chai, which was great, and an iced passion berry tea,, which was pretty good as well. No menu complaints. I'll definitely be back to try some more menu items, a lot of it looked REALLY good. Pretty good experience overall.

    Mary D.

    Great place to study or an atmosphere to catch up with friends. Drinks and food purchases just feel like an entry fee to stay which is fine. Nothing was bad! But I felt like I had a tough time deciding what to get. Settled for hot teas which were not bad but not that great either

    Chicken Salad Sandwich and salad yeeee haw
    Jade L.

    I liked this place. My sibling and I went here for a late night study panic session and the service was nice. Really cool that it's open till the wee hours of the night!!! Also there's a good amount of free parking. We ended up going into a second lot that was a little further from the main one. (Walking there late at night was a little spooky but also tis the night) The ambiance also great, very hip seeming. I don't know how to describe things. My sibling got a mint mocha coffee type thing (forgot to ask) but she said it was really good! I got a chicken sandwich which was also good but I don't know if it was worth the price since it's something I could've made at home. It's on me though cause it's called awesome coffee not awesome sandwiches. Also I wanted dessert (second dinner) alas alas my poor wallet we still would probably return so 5 stars

    Food

    Honestly it was one of the most interesting experiences so far as a person who goes around looking for new coffee shops. The place itself looks great has a lot of space to sit and specially it does have aesthetic vibes. Both the latte and the sandwich were great. However, it wasn't what I order, I try telling the employee that I didn't got a hot latte instead I order a cold latte. She didn't offer to switch it until after I decided to leave. But at least I got a nice picture. Once again there's no problem with the drinks or food just as a first time customer I didn't have a great experience. But, for sure I will give a second chance to this place.

The pictures don't lie. It's got that clean, modern coffee shop aesthetic, but a few quirky touches keep it from feeling like every other minimalist café. There's a photo booth in the back (which I assume explains the name) and a display of sunglasses that I never quite figured out. Also, no bathroom code. Always appreciated. Neither of us usually orders einspanners, but my wife got the vanilla and I ordered the mocha, both iced with oat milk. They were excellent. Creamy and rich and the coffee underneath was tasty even before mixing in the cream. The pastries looked beautiful and artful, although I was hoping for something simple like an almond croissant. The vibe outside on the patio was great. Lots of people working on laptops, plenty of room to settle in, and it felt more like a co-working space than a typical coffee shop. It's also super dog-friendly, has ample parking in its own lot and we even found easy street parking out front. Everything about this place just worked. We'll gladly make the 25-minute drive again.

Also got the banana cream matcha, which leans a bit sweeter because of the banana cream, but surprisingly works well. The matcha itself is smooth and consistent, and you can adjust the sweetness, which I always appreciate. The space is clean and spacious, great for hanging out or getting some work done. Parking is easy with a garage downstairs (they offer validation, about 30 minutes free), which is a plus for DTLA. Overall, a solid spot with well executed drinks , I'd come back.

This was one of the closer coffee spot with good reviews that I found near the kbbq place (Seogwan by Yellow Cow Kbbq) my family and I ate at for lunch. It was about 0.5miles (3 mins drive). The coffee shop is super large, bright, and has nice background music. There are plenty of seats for people to hang out or study. There are also street parking but can be difficult to cross the street due to cars driving by so quickly without a pedestrian crosswalk on one side. I ordered their signature drink which was the orange espresso tonic with one extra shot for my husband, and the double mango matcha for myself. Both of us really enjoyed the drinks, especially the orange espresso tonic. It was refreshing, clean, and easy to drink. Normally, they include double shots of espresso, which may have tasted stronger for me since my husband wanted three shots, and I usually stick with two shots. The double mango matcha uses fresh fruit syrup so the mango flavor was not too strong and my drink was very creamy due to the signature mango cream on top. Usually, I would enjoy a creamy matcha but it made me more thirsty on a hot day. The service took a bit of time since they had to mix my matcha the legit way with the bamboo whisk. The matcha tasted like premium, ceremonial matcha since it was stronger and authentic in taste. Overall, both drinks were enjoyable but if I had to choose one, I would go with the orange espresso tonic even though I love mango matcha!
