Hey Damo, would it hurt to let your customers know that you only set the lid on top of the drinks? You don't actually snap it down on the drink. Not knowing this I spilled a portion of my latte. When I was in line at nearby Out of Ordi a young lady near me spilled quite a bit of her drink on her hands and clothes. The poor kid was embarrassed. Please do better for your unsuspecting customers. Perhaps simply place the lid next to the drink when presenting it on the counter.

The atmosphere is pretty cute as well!

Ambiance is calm and peaceful and cute decor fills the place, starting with three big ole bear dolls sitting on a swing on the front window display. Would come back just to try more flavors! We got oreo, biscoff, hershey's chocolate, and blueberry cookies. They are just the right sweet, not too sweet and still flavorful. It's what makes the cookie eatable in bulk I say! Also got the Americano, it's very light which I love. The straw is a pink heart shape, so soo cute.

I LOVE Korean shaved ice, and Oakabing definitely hits the spot!…read more The shaved ice is so creamy, fluffy, and soft that you don't even have to chew the ice--it practically melts in your mouth. I also love that it's sweet without being overwhelmingly sweet, so you can actually enjoy the flavors without feeling like it's too much. One thing I really appreciate about this place is that they offer smaller versions of each flavor instead of making you commit to the bigger size. It's perfect if you want to try different flavors or just want a little something sweet without ordering a huge bowl. service is honestly nonexistent cus you order from the kiosk and the workers are always behind the curtain. Definitely a great spot for Korean shaved ice, especially if you love that super light and fluffy texture!

I had the green tea bingsu with sweet red beans, and it was delicious. I visited after 6pm and…read morethere weren't many people at the time. One person working only- had to use kiosk to order. The staff seemed very tired and exhausted. Although the bingsu was already a little sweet even without adding extra syrup, I still enjoyed it. However, the music was extremely loud--so loud that I could barely hear the staff when they were speaking. I was actually a little concerned about the hearing of the employees who have to work there for several hours every day. Because the music was so loud, we couldn't comfortably eat in the main dining area, so we moved to a small room in the back. It was quiet there because there was no music, but unfortunately, there were quite a few mosquitoes flying around. We all got bitten by mosquitoes. As for parking, there was a sign that said "Parking at Rear," but the parking area behind the building cost $5. Overall, I enjoyed the bingsu, and the staff was okay, but the extremely loud music, $5 parking and the mosquitoes in the back room made the experience less comfortable. I'm not sure if I would come back again.

I love it hereeeeee

Came here to try it because I was in the area. If I wasn't intrigued by the Thai gelato, I probably…read morewouldn't have stepped foot in this plaza lol. Parking is pretty difficult, and valet is $5. I can easily see the parking lot getting gridlocked on a busy day. I sampled a few of their gelato flavors, including the jasmine lychee and soy sauce. Both were okay, but I just wasn't in the mood for either of them today. I ended up getting the Pandan Toast to try. The pandan flavor was really good--not too grassy and didn't taste too artificial. The ice cream also had a buttery taste to it. It might have been from the toast, but I'm not too sure. The bread itself wasn't oily, which was nice, but it was kind of dry. The pandan sauce definitely helped make it easier to eat. I probably wouldn't eat the bread by itself though because it was super hard and didn't really have much flavor. I wasn't sure what to expect from the toast, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I originally wanted to try the mango sticky rice flavored shaved ice because it looked really good in the photos, but unfortunately they didn't have it today. I'd come back to try their shaved ice when mango is in season again!

Definitely a great local spot to grab a meal, meet with friends, or just enjoy something good in a nice setting. Looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu. Highly recommended!

There is a happy hour during 8am-2pm where all drink are 20% off! I love that they are open late, perfect for studying or just a late day pick-me-up. My matcha einspanner was delicious, creamy, and the matcha taste was good. The strawberry matcha was also great with a stronger strawberry flavor to it. The overall cafe was unique and I enjoyed the fun interior!

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. The photobooth was fun but we were so thrown off by it taking 8 photos, we had no idea how many poses we would have to come up with hahaha. I would definitely come back here anytime!

This was my second time visiting Memory Look. They have plenty of seating options both indoors and…read moreoutdoors, which is definitely a plus. 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

We visited Anko around 8:30 pm on a Saturday and ordered the Hojicha Bingsu to share between four…read morepeople. Dessert: I absolutely love hojicha, and this was easily one of the strongest hojicha-flavored desserts I've had! The bingsu was soft, and the cream inside was the perfect addition. The portion was also surprisingly generous and packed pretty full, making it more than enough for the four of us to share. Seating: There's plenty of seating inside. Parking: Street parking in the nearby area was pretty difficult, so we ended up using the $5 valet service in the plaza. Convenient, but definitely not my favorite parking situation. I really loved the Hojicha Bingsu and would absolutely come back for it. The parking is honestly the only thing that makes me hesitate!

One of my go-to dessert spots for bingsoo in Ktown! I also really like their taiyaki served here…read more In this most recent visit, I tried their drinks for the first time. I tried their Matcha Cloud Latte and it was pretty good! I was surprised with how good it was. Good matcha flavor that wasn't dry and topped with a creamy and tasty matcha cream top. Definitely a hidden gem for a good matcha drink. I also tried my friend's Brown Sugar Miso Latte and that was tasty as well. Sweet and umami. The interior is clean, nice, and roomy. Great spot for a post-meal dessert or hanging out at. I believe there's outlets and wifi as well. Overall, a good experience here and this spot will always remain in my rotation!

Tucked away under an apartment complex with limited parking, this place serves up trendy desserts shaped like fruits. But don't be fooled, they're quite delicious. I'm personally a fan of mango anything, so their mango dessert was a hit for me. The earl grey peach was decent but not particularly mind blowing. The raspberry dessert was quite good as well. Maybe next time I'll try the rest of the menu to round out my experience here. For what you pay for, you get a pretty small amount but I imagine the time to prep these desserts is quite extensive as seen by their constant replays of morning prep time on their screens. So that's Tu Cha for you, photogenic yet yummy desserts that cost quite a bit so get your wallets ready!

Australian culinary influencer and Zumbo's Just Desserts winner Catherine Zhang is the head chef and you'll see videos playing inside the shop of her preparing the desserts. It's truly beautiful art and you're paying for it accordingly with prices varying from $13-15 for each dessert or more for bigger cake items. You can order easily on their touch screens which is nice for looking at all of the available options. I've tried two of the Petit Gateau (tiny cakes) - the My Man Go (Fresh mango, hazelnut praline, mango mousse) and the Berry3 (Strawberry coulis, pistachio praline, raspberry mousse, crimson velvet). In addition to being so darn beautiful, the flavor was just phenomenal. I loved both but slightly preferred the cubically adorable berry cake's taste. For me, it's the perfect size but you def need a spoon to break into the outer shell. Or if you want that TikTok/Instagram video biting into it, that works too. They also have drinks ranging from coffees to matchas to milk teas to tonics and teas ~ truly something to cover everyone's palate for imbibing. Evenings and weekends can get very busy so go on off hours or right at opening if you can. They have their own free parking just down the block from the storefront at 2850 W 7th St or you can try to find a slim pickens' street spot. Tu Cha is such a fan favorite for photos when friends are in town, but the prices are just a tad steep to be an everyday kind of spot.
