Matcha Mochi Latte Injeolmi Mochi Latte
Jess F.

I stumbled upon Cafe de Mama by accident and it instantly became one of my favorite spots. The drinks are delicious, and their mochi is incredibly soft - perfect for dipping into your latte or eating alone! The matcha latte is sweet and creamy which is perfect for my sweet tooth. I also tried the black sesame mochi latte, which was rich and thick - hard to drink in one sitting, but a delicious drink as well. The store itself is super cute, with a few indoor seats and some outdoor tables and chairs that are shaded as well. Definitely would be a good spot to meet up with friends or get some work done! Service does take a bit, especially if you order multiple drinks, but they work hard in the back! They're always kind and I love coming back. I know I'll be coming here often!

I have passed by here so many times and it always looked interesting to me. (Also because I've seen this place go through several businesses throughout the years). There's a free parking lot which is a huge plus!! The interior is clean and simple. I had the black sesame cream latte which had a nice caffeine kick. I've also been into black sesame at the moment so this hit the spot. I have to come back and try their mochi drinks. They are cashless!

Black Sesame Cream Latte

Great customer service, clean, has parking, WiFi and outlets, and fairly priced. Newly opened so not as popular...yet. Got a black sesame latte and it was overall good. I was worried it'd be sweet, but it was not! Pretty mild. It does get watered down so I think it should be drank quick otherwise it'll not be good.

Cafe de Mama opened up in the former Boo's Philly Cheesesteaks location, and I was curious to see how the location would fare as a cafe. It's right on the corner of Virgil and Fountain Avenue, and they have added an outdoor patio area along with their limited indoor seating. They offer a variety of matcha and espresso-based drinks (though they only offer lattes if you are looking for espresso and milk combinations). While I have not tried them yet, they also offer croissant waffles (croffles) in both sweet and savory variations. I tried their black sesame cream latte, which had that nutty flavor that you would expect in a way that felt balanced by the other drink components. I've also had their matcha latte, which I thought was solid. I'm curious to try more of their menu on a future visit!

Finally got a chance to try Cafe De Mama's new location in East Hollywood! It's such a cute and cozy spot with a few tables and a spacious outdoor patio. They have a small parking lot that can fit 3 cars or so, but there's plenty of street parking in the nearby area. I ordered the green forest mochi latte which is a mugwort cream on matcha milk with 3 pieces of mochi. The mugwort cream is absolutely delicious and so earthy and creamy, and you can dip the mochi in the cream which is a fun touch. Overall such a delicious and unique drink!

All you need is a coffee, wifi and a dream. Without further ado, let's dive into this review. Cafe De Mama is a small brand new coffee corner shop in Los Feliz/East Hollywood section of LA. They offer a modest selection of coffee drinks (hot/cold), lattes, matcha and croffle. This spot used to be Boo's Cheesesteak. I was walking aimlessly one hot sunny Thursday afternoon, disoriented and thirsty. I stumbled upon this coffee shop and decided to grab a cold coffee drink. I walked-in and was perfunctorily greeted by a young le petite pinked haired lady. I perused their menu, and decided to order a Cold Brew. It's super concentrated, aroma and flavor are a bit intense despite the cream x sugar that I added. Even a sub par cold coffee is better than no coffee at all. Trust me, I know what a great coffee taste; after all I was bequeathed with a Yelp Elite Coffee Connoisseur 2025 award. The coffee shop is neat, spacious and has limited tables. However, they have a long outdoor bench available for coffee addicts. Lol. Staff were affable, competent, and professional. Interior decor is very minimal. Similarly, it has a very relaxing atmosphere. Prices were competitive and economically affordable. Rear parking available albeit limited to five car ports. Overall, I had a good order experience but not so much on the Cold Brew.

New Cafe de Mama location! I love that they have a little lot for parking. It's a new location so it's not super busy so it's quiet and a nice place to study for now. I love the natural lighting and open window. They don't have much seating. They only have 3 tables but it seems more like a grab a coffee and catch up than sit and study place My go to is their black sesame cream top latte! They have just perfected the nutty black sesame taste with the creamy top. I will say their drinks are on the milkier side but their cream top is so good!

Ice Black Sesame Latte, Cinnamon Honey Ginger Latte, Cream Cheese Everything Croffle
Andrea G.

Excited to have a yum new coffee shop near by! We ordered: - Black Sesame Latte (iced) - Cinnamon Honey Ginger Latte (hot)* - Cream Cheese Croffle* - Egg Salad Croffle My cinnamon honey ginger latte was delicious! That kick of ginger was exactly what I was looking for and I'm looking forward to having it again. The black sesame latte was potent and well done. The cream cheese croffle was simple and tasty, but I was surprised by the pieces of pear (could've been apple) in the egg salad croffle. Not my preference, so I would've enjoyed without it. The space is small but fresh, very simple and stylish overall! There is a very small parking lot attached.

Stopped by Cafe De Mama on a Thursday morning before work and wow... so glad I did. I've been searching for a good black sesame latte spot nearby and this place officially became our new go-to. Got there around 7:30am and there were already a few people there, which honestly says a lot. Parking is on the smaller side. The place itself was very clean and has a pretty good-sized indoor space. They also have an outdoor area where people can just hang out, relax, and enjoy their drinks. I ordered the black sesame latte and the vanilla bean latte -- both were absolutely delicious. The black sesame latte especially was rich, smooth, and exactly what I was hoping for. The server was extremely friendly and welcoming too, which made the experience even better. Definitely coming back.

Injeolmi Mochi Latte with Espresso
Lauren C.

I wish I lived closer because oh my god I love this place. -- the mochi! The injeolmi! The espresso! Everything is perfect and it's not too sweet which is the highest praise I can give. The barista behind the counter was super kind and place is friendly and bright overall too, was welcome pause for wonder and delight in my weekend. I'm so jaded by other places' costs that this feels like a bargain to boot. I'll be back as often as I can swing it :)

My friend and I stopped by Cafe de Mama during their soft opening and really enjoyed the experience. We both ordered the Black Sesame Cream Lattes -- the black sesame flavor was rich and nutty, balanced nicely by the sweet and creamy foam on top. It's definitely more of an indulgent treat than an everyday drink for me, but absolutely delicious. We also shared the croffle with cream cheese filling. The texture was perfectly crispy on the outside while still soft and doughy inside. The cream cheese filling was rich without being overly heavy or overpowering. The shop itself is charming and cozy, and the bold blue roof gives it such a distinct personality. I'd definitely come back to try more items and support this lovely new spot.

Matcha Mochi Latte
Rayanna B.

My family and I have always been a big fan of all of their drinks. Earlier today, I tried their Matcha Mochi Latte and it did not disappoint. The matcha tasted like legit matcha and it was the perfect amount of creamy and sweet, just the way I like it. I am so glad they opened up this location closer to where I live because it's easier to find parking here compared to their other store.

Outside

Obsessed with cafe de mama. This was my first time visiting their east Hollywood location after loving the koreatown location! The drinks are unique and delicious. I will come back every time for the injeolmi mochi latte! The inside is very cozy and perfect for a slow morning. Such a perfect little place!

We sat inside and I ordered a simple brunch with just 2 strips of bacon, 2 over medium eggs and waffles. The server asked me if I wanted a full size waffle or half size and as I was watching the other people order I noticed people were not hesitating to order the full size option and I thought dang, they are not gonna finish that, so I opted for the half serving which was 2 pretty good sized waffles. Once I took my 1st bite, I suddenly regretted only ordering the half size option. I instantly knew right then and there why people ordered the full size. A waffle is a waffle right guys? Wrong... not this waffle. This waffle will make you feel love inside that you didn't know existed. As we were walking inside the restaurant I actually was picking a fight with my husband for no apparent reason... possibly because I was hungry but after I took my first bite, I forgot about the argument haha. I told him he needs to bring me here ALL THE TIME. I am yet to come back a 2nd time and I already anticipate loving it the 2nd time. We drove by one day hoping to have a 2nd try here and it was really busy so we didn't make the stop. I look forward to coming back and the next time around I will not hesitate to order a full size waffle order. The staff was really nice, our server was this young lady who was waiting on all the tables inside and some outside was on top of it. She was really pleasant and the gentlemen in the back were also nice. The restaurant was clean when we visited and the service was really quick. We parked down the street, the walk wasn't too bad, we didn't know where to park but I read some of the other reviews and I guess there's a parking in the back somewhere. If you live nearby and you haven't visited, do yourself a favor and try them out. If you travel from far away like me and you're looking for a breakfast or brunch spot with delicious waffles, this is the spot.

Finally got to try this popular brunch spot, and I'm glad that it lived up to its hype!…read more My friend and I got khai jiao (Thai omelet), Nutella waffle, a Biscoff latte, and a breakfast burrito. Khai Jiao was soooo delicious! I loved the crispiness of the fried egg, which paired well with the amazingly soft & fluffy bed of rice. Definitely a classic, hearty Asian-inspired breakfast dish! I think it got a bit salty toward the end (maybe they used a bit too much fish sauce or whatever seasoning they use). Still, it was so savory and rich in umami! So tasty. I got a bite of the breakfast burrito, and wow, it was delicious. The tortilla was warm, the eggs were fluffy, and the savory chorizo was amazing. Definitely another delicious option! The Nutella waffle is a must-try! The waffle was so crispy, and the fruit was so fresh. The Biscoff latte was also a nice treat. The service was quick and friendly (we went on a Friday morning), and the space was so cute. I'd highly recommend coming here!

The waffle was a huge miss for this dish - the waffles were very sad making everything texture wise all feel the same. A crispier waffle would have helped this dish instead it felt like eating soggy bread on an eggs Benedict. The poached egg and sauce was nothing special. One of my friends also got a poached egg..but it was extremely overcooked no runny yolk :( so it looks like their technique could use a little work - not what you expect from a famous brunch place The French toast we got to share for the table and it was very boring - it's as it sounded like a French toast with Nutella and some whip cream and fruits on the side. The bread was just ok. Maybe I should have gotten the chicken and waffles but I don't think I'll be back - there are better brunch options that are more fairly priced in LA with more parking. Maybe it was an off day but it's too popular for what it is
