    Plenty of outlets
    Brianna P.

    Went here for the first time to do some work. Plenty of outlets and good Wi-fi. Good lighting from indoors and really nice natural lighting from the glass windows. The music was low-key, so it was easy to focus in the cafe. Got a yuzu tonic, no adjustments. It wasn't too sweet, and the yuzu flavor was noticeable.

    mango cream latte + fried chicken sando
    Lindy C.

    Nice cafe spot! I was surprised by the offerings and how delicious the food was, as sometimes I feel like food at cafes are not worth its value. Service was friendly. The man calling out the orders of the food seemed very nice too. I got a mango latte (espresso) and a fried chicken sandwich. The drink is on the more expensive side ($8) but it was decadent and smoooth. I personally like my coffee stronger / lower milk ratio but it was yummy regardless. I loved how there were real mango pieces at the bottom. Now onto the spotlight of this study trek - the fried chicken sando. I was in awe of the thick bread it was presented on and the coating of the sauce. I didn't expect there to be sauce but it was really good! It reminded me of korean fried chicken but in a sandwich. The chicken was good and the lettuce helped provide a bit of freshness from the heaviness of the bread and coated chicken. Onto seating - it's a decently sized cafe but it is busy. There are indoor and outdoor seats with a variety of small tables to big tables that could be shared between 8 people. The indoor seating seems more popular as that's where outlets are located. I saw other reviews mention free parking but I was unable to locate it. However, there's street parking close by as well for another option.

    Shakshouka

    Love this place. This corner has been a few things over the years, and it's a joy to discover Cafe Mogoo has arrived with so much to offer. Breakfast/lunchy foods, plus coffee and sweet drinks in a laid-back and comfortable setting. Students, friends, families, nearby professionals all seem to know about this coffee shop -- that is much more than just a coffee shop. My espresso drink was the Spanish latte - and I really liked it. Though I typically don't want anything in my coffee, this was worth the gamble. Not too sweet, but still very satisfying. The menu is easily accessible on the wall behind the counter, or at the counter in print, or at the digital kiosk when you first walk in. I enjoyed the Shakshouka for brunch. A zesty sauce with the eggs dropped in. Though the eggs were more cooked than I typically prefer, they were very good -- plus I probably messed up the timing with taking pictures. Served with toast. I completely bypassed all the great-looking pastries. However, I did order a side of the chicken that is found in their Fried Chicken Sando. Nothing fancy, but fresh and crunchy and just enough kick. Great way to sample this chicken. The Bagel Salmon Sandwich is also very good -- I had a bite of that. I love the booths and tables and different types of seating options here. Nice place for taking a breather, or doing a bit of work. Glad to have found Cafe Mogoo, and I look forward to coming back!

    Basque Cheesecake
    Mary A.

    Nice study spot with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We ended up finding street parking next to the cafe. Ordered through a kiosk, which was convenient. We ordered the Matcha Einspanner, Banana Cream Latte, Mango Cream, and basque cheesecake for about $40 total. In my opinion, it was a bit on the pricier side. Unfortunately, the drinks were disappointing. The matcha mostly tasted like milk, and while the coffees were okay, I probably wouldn't order them again. The standout was definitely the basque cheesecake. It was really good and something I would come back for.

    Chill cafe. Order at the kiosk by the door and they call your name. Tried their strawberry banana smoothie with almond milk. He had green tea. Sat in the private area by the front of the restaurant at the community table. Very tastefully designed with interesting light fixtures. Servers were fine. Smoothie was good, not too sweet. Restrooms need a code.

    Matcha einspänner
    Rebecca T.

    Picked up a matcha einspänner (with oat milk) after a workout at Cafe Mogoo. Service was minimal, but pleasant and the café is spacious with plenty of outlets to get work done. My drink was, unfortunately, very oat milk-forward, even when I mixed it; I wish the matcha had been stronger. Cute café, but just-okay matcha.

    Match latte

    Favorite study spot! Has parking, opens late, has study snacks, coffee and wifi. Oh and also spacious tables.

    Tuna Melt
    Krissy R.

    There's free parking garage next to the cafe. We ordered Matcha Einspanner and Banana Cream Matcha per recommendation of the staff. It's actually the best Banana Cream Matcha I've ever had. The Banana Cream was so spot on and well blended with Matcha. We also ordered the following: Mogoodog Sausage- the bread was toasted well, delicious and generous portion of sausage Tuna Melt- first time to ever tried one that is loaded with veggies, it was good but I was missing a distinct taste of tuna Taiyaki Croissant- the breading was soft and delicious, I liked the Nutella better than the Custard The place has several tables and chairs and even has outdoor seats.

    Oh man, I really love this place. I initially stopped in because I work right by here, but after a while, I started to look forward to my time at Cafe Mogoo. The coffee is great -- I've had the Banana Cream Latte (my favorite, it's so good if you like banana!!) and the Dalgona Latte. The Yuzu Matcha Tonic as well. Recently, I ordered the Bulgogi sandwich on the recommendation of one of the servers and it was excellent! It's so big and very tasty -- just an incredible combo of flavors. The cafe also has lots of tables to get work done and good Wifi as well.

    matcha einspanner
    Monica T.

    I got a matcha einspanner and for the most part it was pretty solid. I was able to taste the matcha but i thought it was on the sweeter side so i would probably ask for less sweet next time. the food and their drink menu looks really good which makes it a nice place to stay for a while and get some work done and not starve. There are limited outlets where the tables are but there is a middle seat aisle with outlets if you don't mind sitting there. The service was nice and friendly and the inside had plenty of seating. there is also free parking in the back!

    got a lavender latte and a banana cream latte!

    I think out of all the places I've traveled to so far, my favorite would have to be Italy. During a…read morelazy afternoon after visiting the Pantheon in Rome, we had our first experience with All'Antico after taking a 5 minute walk down the road. They actually had 2 separate locations flanking the pedestrian road, so there were two long lines snaking out in opposite directions. While we were waiting in line, we bumped into a couple from Spain who were also visiting. They gave my wife some personal recommendations, advising we get the blood orange soda with our sandwiches. After getting said sandwiches (the La Paradiso), we nibbled on them while walking to Sant'Ignazio of Loyola Church, which is that cathedral where there's a mirror directed up towards the murals on the ceiling and a huge selfie line. Hot damn were those sandwiches good. The thinly sliced mortadella paired perfectly with that buttery, green pistachio spread. The only challenge for my taste buds was the mild oral trauma I sustained from punching through the crispy bread; your gums started to feel it by the time you devoured your sandwich. But we liked it so much that when we later took the train to Florence, we sought All'Antico again at their original location. I thought that would be my last experience with All'Antico (unless, of course, I came back to Italy). So imagine my surprise when later that year I heard All'Antico had coincidentally opened a branch in Los Angeles, although rather awkwardly situated in Koreantown. Even though we live 30 minutes away, we made the drive immediately. There was no way this remote All'Antico location, thousands of miles from Italy, would live up to the experience I had in Rome earlier that year. But I was mistaken. Not only is the taste spot on, but the bread they serve is actually chewier and removed the gum calisthenics I suffered in Italy. And yes, they also have the blood orange soda as well. It's a little weird their location is in Koreatown, but not a big deal; we'll usually do a bingsu run afterward. Just like their locations in Italy, All'Antico is small but they do have a small collection of bar seats, some of which overlook the staff as they're making your sandwich. Be mentally prepared though to take it to go depending on how busy it is. Parking sucks too; there's street parking only, but if you come on Sunday you don't have to pay. Every so often now, we'll make the 30 minute drive just to relive that slice of Italy we experienced nearly 2 years ago. Thankfully, not a lot of people recognize how good this place is yet, as the lines aren't crazy long like they are in Italy. For all the other Yelpers in on it too, let's keep it our little secret for now.

    Pretty good spot I'd recommend to friends. Came on a Saturday 12:30pm, there was just 1-2 parties…read moreahead of me in line. I was surprised there weren't more people! Lunch rush came around 1:30pm. The workers were kind and helpful, each working diligently to complete everyone's order timely. I ordered the Mamma Mia, Dante, New Yorker--with Dante coming out as my fav. Shoutout to their truffle sauce, light yet not overbearing! Loved to see how they only use focaccia that just come out of the oven, and they cut your sandwich's meat from the meat hunk on an order basis. Very fresh, never greasy. I thought the Dante and Mamma Mia could improve by adding just one more ingredient as a cherry on top, like a sort of nut (walnuts, pine nuts) or something that helps the sandwich spark. Would love to see a bit more arugula too. No public bathroom--closest one is probably Hmart across the street (needs a code). Parking is metered, but there's free neighborhood parking 1-2 blocks away if you're able to find a spot. There's a few seats (5-6) and a standing bar around the perimeter of the store. Also, the drinks are money but you can ask for a water cup for free.

The breads have a good sweet taste along with just the right amount of crunch. My buddy said, "I don't like sandwiches much but this one was good." Side note, he's a foodie.

    tl;dr the Dutch crunch rolls highlight an otherwise standard lineup of hearty deli sandwiches…read more The Los Angeles sandwich scene ranges from terrific tortas to farmer's market-on-a-bun, but few spots have embraced the Bay Area's beloved Dutch crunch roll. These slightly sweet hoagie rolls are coated with rice flour, creating an addictively crunchy, tortoise-shell top. While hard to find, Dutch crunch rolls are the specialty at Ghost Sando Shop. This small sandwich chain (from the mind of NorCal native and former Chipotle exec Benjamin Sales) debuted in the Fairfax District, and it has expanded to Orange County and the Valley. Every sandwich at Ghost Sando sports a Dutch crunch roll, and the lineup has achieved TikTok fame. Briefly, Grand Central Market is a semi-outdoor industrial market turned upscale food court. The sky-high walls are painted white, and the concrete floors are slickly polished. Even during the day, only a few rays of sunshine enter through the skylight roof, leaving each vendor's neon sign to pop. During busy hours, expect foot traffic shoulder-to-shoulder through the narrow aisleways. Here, Ghost Sando has a central stall near the wide stairwell. You can't miss the bright teal paint or custom green neon sign. The walls are tastefully decked with hexagon tile and wooden slats. The sandwich production line is front and center, and staff members buzz around even well after the weekday lunch rush. Stools are pressed up against the long stainless steel bar counter, guaranteeing a seat for customers. My partner and I visited Ghost Sando for a weekday lunch, but our food was prepared relatively quickly. Immediately, I was shocked by the sheer density of the sandwiches. Rolled into compact cylinders, the weight could have fooled me into thinking they were bricks. The "Large" size was plenty for even a hefty appetite, but I can't imagine how anyone could tackle the double-topping "XX Large" portions. I also enjoyed the unique Dutch crunch loaf -- consider holding your sandwich upside-down to fully appreciate the crispy shell. Otherwise, the sandwiches were more standard than spectacular. The cold cuts are more like grocery store variety than premium deli, and the veggies are only a step above Subway. I preferred the mildly spicy Firebird to the warm-ish Pastrami Mami, but neither blew my socks off. The service is mostly disengaged, and the sandwiches run from $15 each. Reasonably, a sandwich can be extended across 2 meals. The sandos are mostly standard, but the Dutch crunch rolls are mildly addictive. While Ghost Sando is not a reason alone to pay GCM a visit, it is a filling and reliable bet for routine DTLA lunch.

We decided to try buy some wagyu burger patties for the white elephant (we ended up winning these back during our white elephant - they were excellent!). The patties were juicy, rich, and so tasty! Can't wait to try other cuts! When we checked out, they offered us two small complimentary bottles of champagne and some produce from their refrigerated area. this was so kind of them to do so.
