    Blueberry hibiscus tea
    Akeesa G.

    Staff was super helpful & patient. Tons of room for seating and working, volume on everything was ideal. The blueberry jam muffin was crazy good, not too sweet or tart, the jam in the middle was the perfect amount. I thought it'd be too decadent but it was perfect. Blueberry hibiscus tea was exactly what you think it is. Street parking was decent for a Friday.

    Vanilla Bean Latte
    Najeya K.

    I'm soo glad I tried this spot! The vanilla bean latte is sooo good for coffee lovers. Not too sweet. You taste the espresso. You taste the vanilla bean. I got mine hot ofc. This is such a perfect study spot, they have a spacious area with outlets everywhere & seating for students to come by & work.

    We came here as a stop from our tour around the city. This place is in not a very nice area, but once you walk inside it's a whole different world. This place has a very calm feel with a modern laid back style. They have fresh food on the fridge for in the go a pastries. My bf loved the blueberry muffin and our teas were very tasty. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the drinks were out quick. They do have a restroom on property which was nice. I would highly recommend this coffee shop.

    Honestly this is such a cute spot and a great addition to this neighborhood. Ive been coming here on and off since it opened, and usually get coffee to go with my pup Charlie, and once or twice had the time to sit in for study/work and the vibe and music is just right. Service is always friendly and fun, and the coffee selection is simple but slaps. Love coming here when i do.

    Parking is not bad, there's two hour street parking around the area. The service is nice, they're friendly and will get out of your way to let you focus on working. The food is kind of pricy, $15-20 but its pretty large so not the worst deal. There's a large area for you to work with and it looks like it opens up if the weather warms up to let the breeze in so I can imagine this would be a great spot to work at during the summer, drinking coffee in hand. Not sure on the outlet situation, I only stayed there for two hours.

    Strawberry matcha
    Catherine M.

    Such a great cafe with great drink and food options! Strawberry matcha is delicious and the staff are all nice. There's a lot of seats and outlets, so it's also a nice spot to work/study. I only wish that it was open later and had a better parking situation.

    Matcha cold brew

    Good place to study (inside space with the walls broken down facing the street) with chargers and good wifi. I got a matcha cold brew which I didn't really love but I've heard their other drinks are better.

    Got the cream latte coffee was fresh and the cream was perfect. Service was efficient, it's a great addition to the neighborhood. don't need to drive to downtown or k-town for a good cream latte.

    Great coffee menu, great space to chill and work. If you haven't discovered CAFE/5 great vibes, drop by. We loved and recommend this spot when ya in the area near USC/West Adams/ On the other side of the 10fwy. It can appear as service as slow but you can tell they are hustling! I love all of their drinks especially their cream too lattes! So good! For a visual review check out me via IG: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7CoThov02m/?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA==

    Seating area
    Arlene R.

    The coffees are unique in the sense that not many coffee shops offer these flavors. The iced butterscotch latte comes with cold foam and it's a sweeter coffee. It's fire! The iced honey oat latte is also good, you can taste the honey forsure but it's good and sweet. The area is nice they have several seating available with multiple outlets. Perfect place to do some work with coffee. The seating area is open next to the street so it can be noisy if that bothers you. There is music playing over the speakers which isn't too loud but gives the space a nice vibe. Overall 10/10! Service was fast.

    Peppermint Mocha, Matcha Latte, and Almond Croissant
    Alex L.

    A very nice cafe, and perhaps a good study spot! I tried the Peppermint Mocha (3/5 it was quite sweet), Matcha Latte (4/5), and the Almond Croissant (5/5 though probably from a bakery).

    Matcha cold brew
    Christina H.

    Super cute little spot on an unsuspecting street. When you walk inside you're like transported to this adorable little oasis with a bright and airy feel and relaxing vibes. Came in right before close and Ace was such a sweetheart! Didn't feel rushed or anything and he just had good customer service and a great personality Yummy matcha cold brew and my friend had a mocha that was also super delicious would be back again for a coffee fix

Sadly they were out of this type of bean until next week, otherwise we would have definitely gotten them! The dolly latte had everything I ever wanted in a latte. Not only was the espresso and milk combined really nicely, but also it was slightly sweetened with ?caramel, almost reminded me of sweet condensed milk. Overall it tasted like a combination of an American latte with Viet coffee! Staff were nice and friendly. Some bench seating on the inside but lots of tables/chairs outside. The seafoam green is hard to miss and pretty aesthetically pleasing in contrast to the shades of coffee brown. Street parking only. Would definitely stop by next time I'm in town!

    Solid matcha place in ktown!! There's so many places around and it's a saturated market so I get…read morethe competition... but this place holds its own! Matcha is rich and bold, there's a good amount so it's not weak. Milk ratio is good so it's not diluted at all. The cream top is nice and thick and doesn't melt into the drink! Matcha Cream Top ($7.75)-- I looooove me a nice and thick cream top and this place does it amazingly. It's thick and perfectly sweetened and doesn't melt with the drink/ice. It stays perfectly thick and still and above the matcha unless you mix it in. The matcha is also really nice and rich. None of the bland or grassy taste. Just genuine good matcha! Chocolate Forest ($7.75)-- Basically same as above but the cream on top tastes like Milo/Ovaltine mixed in. It's a nice and sweet nostalgic taste. Not a hint of bitterness so if you want mocha/dark chocolate this is not the one for you. It's more happy kid hot chocolate vibes. Overall I really like this place for their matcha and would get it again. Pricing is steep but all good matcha goes for around $8 nowadays. Theres a shared parking lot (free if you go in the afternoon) but otherwise street parking.

    Super friendly and cute coffee spot. Keep in mind parking…read moreis strictly on the street the valet is not for the coffee shop. Kinda secluded but still amazing and worth the trip. I tried their Americano with thick lavender creme and it was subtle yet nice. Never had an Americano like that and I didn't hate it. I say that because I normally do take my coffee on the dark side with zero to a splash of milk. But this did look appealing so I said why not be different today lol They also had food tried the bulgolgi burrito it was okay very hearty on the meat and had two eggs on it but I felt something was missing? It wasn't bad def massive and I felt like I had enough for 3 total meals lol Ventured out here after taking Ruby out to the vet hospital and needed to kill time for pick up. Def would be back again. You could see they knew the locals as many frequent this spot as a grab and go coffee joint. Great vibes and massive outdoor patio with lots of seating for working as well! !

    Seeing all the amazing reviews, I made a point to swing by on a Saturday morning. Honestly, the…read morelocation is a little hard to find-- there doesn't seem to be a dedicated parking lot, so street parking it is! However, there's also not a lot of street parking either. I ended up parking in the neighborhood, but it was one of those 4 parking street signs layered on top of each other, designed to confuse the heck out of you. I ended up taking a photo and running it through Gemini to make sure I was safe to park. Okay, parking aside, mu.so is located in large black office building-- they do put out a little "coffee" sign on the sidewalk. When you do see it, the actual coffee shot is small, but there's a whole backyard patio area with plenty of space for you to hang out. Anyways, I went with their iced americano with lavender cream top. I've been to a lot of coffee shops, but haven't run into a lavender cream top-- so of course I had to try. I thought it was pretty good, the cream top was a good pairing w/ the americano-- it sweetened the coffee, without making it too sweet or heavy. The lavender brought a light floral flavor to the coffee. While it's nothing life changing, I did think, it's a solid cup of coffee, it's worth a try, but probably not worth a dedicated drive over. I also picked up a blueberry muffin, because honestly, I love everything blueberry. I'd pass on it, but I'd recommend trying something else-- like the crossiants, which looked tastier. Overall, I might come by again and try one of their other drinks. While it wasn't bad, I expected a little more from a "signature' drink.
