    Red velvet cheesecake!!
    Martin A.

    Excellent service. Amazing taking food. Reasonably prices. Very polite and friendly staff. I will.defenately comeback to try some other dishes!!!

    I ordered several items and overall really enjoyed my lunch here! ~ Unfortunately, I couldn't get a photo of the chicken quesadillas -- they were my favorite! The other dishes were great too. The place wasn't crowded when I visited, which made for a relaxed experience. And I think the prices are very reasonable~ My server was nice as well. I'll definitely be coming back!

    단호박 해물 떡볶이 (Spicy rice-cake with gabocha pumpkin and sea food)

    I tried those two dishes that my companion recommended. They were both very tasty. The spicy rice-cake was not that spicy but rather sweet, and gabocha pumpkin added its own sweet-potato-like flavor and texture to the dish (I have a sweet tooth). The seafood udon was very good as well, but I personally liked the rice-cake dish a bit more. The indoor parking on the first level of the same building (with an entrance right next to Cafe Scent) was free with validation - for up to 2 hours, from what I heard.

    Came here while I was getting my car washed around the corner! A super cute, quaint setting with current hip music on the speakers :) servers were kind & service was nice! Very sweet community. I got a spicy tuna roll & miso soup & lemon water and it was delicious! I enjoyed waiting here, would definitely visit again!

    This place is closer to my home, and sometimes I go there to get some coffee, latte with my friends. Their food is good and tasty as well as having good selection of dishes. I love their hamburger steak, quesadilla, rice cake dish and pastas. I would definitely recommend this place :)

    Straight up delicious.

    Beautiful little gem tucked away in Koreatown. My girlfriend's and I met here for our first get together in 2 years. Our server was new, I believe his name was Terry. Young guy, very sweet. He grabbed a notepad and took our orders. One of my party had recently removed wisdom teeth so she was a little particular about her food and asked for a cup of hot water to rinse her mouth. He ended up bringing two cups of hot water just to be sure. The jujube tea, citron tea, and ginger tea were all delicious. Served warm not hot, which enabled us to enjoy them right away and didn't hurt my friend's mouth. There was a little white dog in the middle of the restaurant, far from the kitchen and far from the tables, but close to the restroom. She was hilarious and let you pet her when you walked by. This was the first public restroom I've ever see with a bidet! I didn't test it out but I was curious. The atmosphere takes you out of the city hustle and bustle and tucks you into a secret garden style botique eatery. All our food was delicious! My rose Pasta flavor was similar to a vodka sauce at an Italian place. Very flavorful! The spicy pasta my friend had was not spicy but it's possible they toned it down for us because places tend to do that with people they think are not aquatinted with a culturally spicy dish. Who knows? Whatever the case, if you go to a restaurant because you like a more nich style atmosphere and feel with a down home vibe, check it out.

    Finished pumpkin floral arrangements that we arranged with the loose flowers that Cafe Scent provided

    We were looking for a baby shower venue but we had an idea that only Cafe Scent could execute. We arranged a meeting with the owners and they accommodated our every request. Our baby shower was pumpkin themed because it was on Halloween wknd and we wanted to make pumpkin vase floral arrangements. The owners prepared a beautiful assortment of loose flowers for us to cut and arrange into our floral foam and pumpkin vases during the event. They also made us a gorgeous centerpiece ahead of time. We were happy they already had pumpkin dishes on their menu to match our theme like spicy rice cake with pumpkin, sweet pumpkin almond pizza, and sweet pumpkin mixed green salad. We also pre-ordered spicy pasta with tomato sauce, bacon pasta with cream sauce, Italian pizza, chicken quesadillas, oven baked chicken wings, chicken Caesar salad, and a variety of drinks. It was perfect because we had a mixture of Korean and American guests so the fusion of both cuisines fit everyone's palate and was really delicious. Cafe scent is amazing because they fulfilled our venue needs for florals, as well as provided flavorful food and drinks. They were attentive to our needs the whole time and even were generous to let us use their space when we went over on time and clean up our floral mess afterwards. Everything went seamless thanks to Cafe Scent. Thank you for the most beautiful and perfect baby shower!

    Food was different! Its a korean mom and pappa restaurant. I got their rose tea, potato pizza, soba noodles, and rose pasta. Everything about this place will leave a scent tastings of flowers in your mouth. You will be lingering for more food after you are finished with your meal!

    Quesadilla

    Stopped by for some pre-concert. Kind of an unexpected gem. A little slow, but we were satisfied with our meals! Happy they had GF options.

    Spicy tuna rolls
    J K.

    A great place for meeting, business meeting, friendly meeting, party and romantic date. A good casual food, tea, korean, italian, japanease food along with dessert. One thing. I wish their price is little bit more affordable.

    Bar and seating area

    For the first time this place. We passed by this place and wanted try someday. Finally I got to chance to try but it was totally terrible experience. Food(1/5)- I got a coupon when I checked in on yelp for free drink if order any of entree. We ordered tuna tartare but I didn't eat raw food. I recommend that menu to my friends and I asked to the waitress how tasted that and she said its good. Food came out pretty but my friends said tasted so funny. They said they thought eating raw fish bibimbap without rices. I tried tasted only kiwi dressing but it really good but Tuna smell like a gochujang. We definitely not recommend that. Drinks(3/5)-we ordered ice americano, ice plum, milk tea, kiwi mojito(no alcohol). Ice americano and ice plum tasted just ok but a lot of drink. Kiwi mojito was amazing tasted you would like that if you like herb tea. When I drinks that my mouse was got really fresh from mint herb. Only I can recommend kiwi mojito. Service(2/5)- we requested changed our sits when they have a empty table. It was little busy there when we went to there and no tables. We sats at bar and just waiting to move our sits while drinking. But they forgot that and they just moved other people. The waitress was nice at the first time but I didn't know why she got a bad attitude to us maybe from busy?? I really disappointed this place when we asked for the check. Our waitress asked to us need to parking stamp and we give her our parking ticket. When I looked at our check parking sticker $0.35 without any explanation. If have to pay for that they should told to us about that.. we thought nothing extra pay for that but it wasn't. You need pay $0.35 for parking stamp. I thinking it would nice to let us know first that and we don't have reason to feel bad from that. Only $0.35. Who's going to not paying even they explain to you that. Ambience (4/5)- i was happy to found new pretty cafe in this area and they have a sent store too so smell so amazing good from flowers. I like their interior. It was romantic place with quite place. You can outdoor seat when nice wether. Outdoor seat area was pretty too.

    Ambiance: it's a combined place of flowers store and tea shop, cozy atmosphere and comfortable sofa seats Service: very friendly and patient, provided useful suggestion Food & Drink: overall good taste Green Tea Latte - *** very sweet and cute paint Honey Bread - **** one of the most popular desserts in the store, sweet and crunchy toast, topped with mango, banana, kimi, strawberry and chocolate syrup vanilla ice cream, recommend Price: generous portions and about $10 per person

    Convenient, long dining table for party of 10!

I stopped by around noontime and there were people inside/outside chatting, working, taking pics in the photobooth, etc. The line went by quickly and I had my hojicha einspanner in no time!

I paused, glanced at the empty café behind me, and replied, "There are plenty available--surely I can use one." He continued, in a dismissive tone, speaking to me in a way that felt unnecessarily disrespectful. I chose to walk away and still enjoy my pour-over. But it's not just about serving good coffee. As Maya Angelou reminds us, people will always remember how you made them feel. And in this space, I felt unwelcome. As a paying customer--one who tipped in advance--that behavior felt undeserved and unwarranted. For that reason, there's no need to return.

    Unfortunately, Community Goods is worth the hype and I will be coming back and waiting in line haha…read more I went for the first time a few weeks ago on a Saturday morning around 9:30am and waited 1.5 hours. The line is not for the faint of heart. I tried their matcha einspanner, breakfast sliders, and pistachio toast and all three were AMAZING. - Matcha Einspanner: One of the best matchas I've ever had! The matcha is so well balanced - you can actually taste the matcha, not too sweet, and creamy too. They also sprinkle sea salt on top which helps enhance the matcha flavor. My only complaint is that I wish the cup was bigger. - Breakfast Sliders: I wasn't expecting much from the sliders, but everyone always hypes up their slides, so I knew I had to give it a try. I was not disappointed! The egg is so fluffy and the sauces that come with it are so delicious, especially their hot sauced. I added bacon and avocado too and it was great. - Pistachio Toast: I feel like their pistachio toast is not talked about enough. It was so yummy and satisfying that I wish I could get another one. The toast is hearty and the pistachio spread with sea salt, olive oil, and olive oil is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I'm still thinking about their toast. Although it is quite pricey, I think the taste and quality justify the price. The interior is small and there's about 6 tables outside which is pretty crowded so you might have to take it elsewhere to enjoy. Parking is easy with metered street parking or free parking in the neighborhoods.

The line was full of restless people and It was overwhelming. It was hot outside. It's pricey also. But my food was delicious. I recommend but beware you need to make it an event instead of a stop. The staff was friendly despite the amount of people. Waiting in line at community goods is the equivalent of dining at a restaurant start to finish. That includes finding somewhere to park. So if you have a day off work and have time to kill but also want to get hard earned coffee come here It's pretty good but make your wait worth it and get the oats.
