Unfortunately, Community Goods is worth the hype and I will be coming back and waiting in line haha 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. read more

I took two stars off because the wait makes it not worth it but the overnight oats and iced hojicha einspanner does. I waited an hour for everything. 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. read more

I have yet to find matcha that tops community goods...i had my doubts at first but this is now the only matcha that i will wait in a long line for. the matcha einspanner is perfection and so consistently good everytime. the cream top, matcha flavor, and milk mesh so well together (unlike many matcha einspanners i've tried) and the sprinkle of salt and matcha powder on the top really ties it all together. the sweetness level is also perfect. i would also recommed giving the hojicha einspanner a shot!! it was a little sweeter than the matcha einspanner but so delicious. parking is also pretty easy; there is plenty of street parking in the adjacent neighborhood. just expect there to be a decently long line every time you go, especially if its on the weekend. read more

Community Goods - matcha einspanners - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 stars. I was part of that hive group who thought there wouldn't be a line here during Coachella. My friend and I arrived at 8:45am on a Saturday and there line wrapped around the block. Street parking was easy enough across thw street with a paid meter. We waited in line for almost 2 hours. The interior of the store is very cramped. Interestingly enough, they have random goods for sale like pimple patches and chili. Its hard to browse though while lining. When we got to the front, I got distracted with their pastry display. We ordered a ham and cheese danish, breakfast sliders, a matcha latte, a vanilla bean latte, and an einspanner latte. Then we shuffled to the side to wait. The wait wasn't too long but it was awkward to wait and be blocking the pick up counter lol. The sliders are pretty tasty but definitely not worth the price at all. The sauce it comes with is pretty good, sweet and spicy. The ham and cheese danish was pretty standard. I heard a girl say their matcha changed her life but sadly it did not change mine. It was very milky. The vanilla bean latte and einspanner were also just okay. Would I come back? Nah. Not worth the wait and in the competitive coffee shop era in LA, there are just so many out there that are just as good and without the wait and hefty price tag. read more

If you've ever heard of this place, then you also know that there's always a very long line for getting matcha here. I, personally, am not really a big matcha person so I was skeptical on how good it could really be BUT yes, it is THAT good. I first had Community Goods and their matcha at Eeeeeatscon as a vendor, and thought it was good there so I wanted to see how the brick & mortar location stacked up to it. I arrived at around 2:30pm-3pm on a Saturday and sure enough, there was a long queue out the door the stretched to the intersection on Melrose. I didn't think the wait was too bad; it was about 30-40 mins. to order. But also, it only took about 3-5 mins. after ordering to receive my drink, a Matcha Einspanner, which is essentially a matcha latte with an added thick, whipped cream. As I mentioned earlier, I am not an aficionado of matcha (I'm not a big fan of earthy, grassy flavors) so I prefer a sweeter, milkier version of any matcha drink I have and Community Goods really hit the mark with this one. Pleasant and not overwhelming matcha taste with the sweet, luscious cream and a pinch of salt for a bit of extra delight. Definitely my favorite matcha drink I would get over and over again in my rotation! It's a small, cozy interior with no seating for consumption of your drinks and food, but outside the building, you can find a few tables and benches to enjoy your drinks! Line does get shorter from around 4pm so if you want to wait a little less, I would recommend arriving around that time! I definitely want to come back earlier in the day to try their Breakfast Sliders! read more

Community Goods - Matcha Einspanner - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

OVERALL : This place has become THE spot for matcha in LA, and I can see why the lines are always long! They have a fairly simple menu with coffee / matcha / hojicha and some foods served during limited hours. Despite the long lines, things move pretty quickly and the drinks came out quick after ordering. Service was fast and friendly despite the line. I waiting maybe 30ish mins? No seating inside, but they have outdoor seating on the side! More of a grab and go place though. They use Rocky's Matcha and that's what most come here for! PARKING : Located in LA, so street parking as usual for this area! We're usually able to find a spot in some of the side streets later into the day on weekends, but sometimes I also park further and walk up and down the shops, stopping by here for drinks. FOOD/DRINKS : Matcha Einspanner - The cream on top was lightly sweet and paired well with the matcha. They had a matcha shaker jar if you wanted to top off with more matcha powder, but it already came with some sprinked on top of the foam. The matcha itself was smooth -- not too earthy or bitter. Perfect sweetness. Yum! Matcha Latte - I added maple syrup for an extra cost and kept the drink as whole milk by default. Well balanced cup of matcha -- not too milky and a smooth matcha taste. Maple syrup didn't overpower the drink read more

I've been here twice and both experiences were great. Yes, the lines are long (I waited 1.5 hours on Coachella Sunday morning) but the food and drinks are delicious. Their matcha Einspanner hits the spot. It's not a place I'd go out of my way for, but if you've never gone I recommend going once just so you can say you've been. read more

I happened to be in the area for work so I decided to finally stop by and see what the hype was. There's street parking and I didn't have trouble but it was also a Wednesday early afternoon so I don't know how it is during peak times. Wait wasn't too bad since it was a prob an off time, maybe 15 min? I got the matcha einspanner which I think is off menu and it was good. But not spectacular and I'm still struggling to understand the hype. I hear the sliders are good but only fresh and I had already eaten lunch. There are so many good matcha spots closer to me so I don't see myself coming back here. Don't get me it's good but not life changing and I def think it's way overhyped. Come here if it's convenient for you but to me I wouldn't wait more than 10 min in line for this. read more

My bestie and I wanted to try a new spot and arrived here Tuesday morning. There was already a long line so we thought it must be good. It was about a 45 minute wait once we reached the front to order. It's a tiny place inside and there are some tables outside on the side to sit at if you're lucky to snag one. We got the matcha einspanner as that's what's most popular along with the breakfast sliders with bacon. I cannot fathom why anyone would wait in such a long line and not order food. To each their own I suppose. The matcha drink was okay. It was good after it's well mixed, but not good enough to wait that long for. The sliders were definitely tasty and I loved whatever the green sauce it came with. All in all, it's a place to know I've tried but not one I'd come back to. read more

After living around the corner from this spot and coming consistently I can't believe I'm BARELY giving yal a review! Anywho, this place has great coffee and matcha! The hype is real and they don't disappoint. They're consistent and reliable when it comes to their drinks. I will say no, I don't believe the line around the corner is worth it (no coffee is worth that much wait) but if you happen to catch them early enough or right before closing on the right day, I would definitely stop in to grab a pick me up. People go crazy for their sliders, anything on a Hawaiian roll is fire to me, but it's nothing you can't make at home. Parking is scarce in the neighborhood so just be aware. read more

Happened to walk by community goods on a trip to weho and thought to myself if I better do it now cause it might be a one a done situation. Went on a Saturday afternoon. The line was pretty long all the way to the end of the block. Line wait time ended up being about 45-50 min. With my drink wait time included, total experience took about an hour. Once you do order, the drinks do come out pretty quickly. I came specifically for the matcha einspinner, which is just their matcha with this sweet and salty cream top. With all the different matchas I've tried through out LA, Honestly this one was pretty good and definitely higher on my list. I hate to say it because there's so much hype for for this place. Overall, the experience basically felt like a tourist attraction. Alot of people in line were just young people in there 20s and tourists. The long wait is not worth the product in my opinion. But, if I was in the area and the line happened to short I'd probably stop by. read more

Best knows for Justin and Hailey Bieber frequenting, community goods did not disappoint. So here's the take: Line: long but went fairly quick. This will not be your in and out experience. Although once you order they are fast. Matcha: Yummy but on the sweeter side. I like my matcha more earthy, but maybe I have to order differently next time. Latte and cappuccino : Rave reviews! Sandwiches: we got tuna and a pistachio toast and both were fresh, and amazing! There's no sitting room so it's definitely order and go. But the tiny shop is cleanly, airy, and cute! Def must try...especially if the line is short. read more

It's good, but I personally would not come again. Interior was comfy, sliders were ready ~10 min after we ordered. Workers were friendly! Waited an hour for: - Matcha latte - yum! - Breakfast sliders - I fear I make this better myself, with much more flavor. I didn't enjoy the sweet sauce on it, and overall it was underwhelming. The eggs were cooked nicely though. - banana bread - average, get it toasted! the butter was interesting. passion fruit? read more

The Sliders were amazing, I added bacon to mine. The sauces take it to another level. The latte was also one of the best I had in LA. The prices were reasonable compared to places I've been around the area. The staff was very friendly, but we waited in line for an hour, the service was a bit slow. The outside seating patio-like is really nice to sit and eat quickly. read more

Hello yelpies, This spot came to my attention from a friend who wanted to try this spot known for matcha. The wait was down the block on a Friday late morning which was shocking to see lol. Parking is basically in the neighborhood streets which was pretty difficult. We ended parking like 2 blocks into the residential area. We waited in line for more than an hour, love LA. Once inside , you have a small menu that's only located at the counter where you order. I had looked up the menu prior so I had an idea of what to get, but for others it can feel rushed to look at the small menu. I ordered an iced matcha Einspanner which comes in one size , smaller than a grande I believe. I also ordered the breakfast sliders with bacon , no avocado was available by the time I ordered :( For seating , there's like 2 big tables & one long bench in the back reminiscing of being at school & sharing lunch. Overall, the employees were friendly & open to questions & the space was clean but very crowded. Matcha was a 8/10; a bit sweeter than expected Breakfast sliders 8/10; the sauces that come along the sliders like the chive spread & sweet/sour made it taste the 8/10, by themselves a bit plain. Would I come back ? Only to have the LA experience of waiting 1 hr for a matcha lol! read more

Waited 20-30 minutes for these drinks on President's day. The line moved at a decent pace but felt super slow because I was standing in the rain with no umbrella. Hopefully they install some type of cover in the future for guests that line up in the rain or line up on sunny days. Inside reminded me of a cabin! The price point is the only con here. $8.50 for a drink is becoming the new norm much to my dismay. Really kind of them to not charge extra for oat milk though. I like that they added sea salt into the drink which paired really well with the sweet cream! The matcha flavor was good so overall this is a great drink. read more

You're going here for the brand. The famous matcha is definitely YUMMY, but for that line and price point (for that small of a cup)???? ....... I'll definitely only come here once in a while. Also, the more I drank my cup of matcha, the saltier mine got, which I wasn't sure was intended. I love the salt on top, but someone may have had a heavy hand that day?? Space is small, picturesque, and warm/woody. Very well done. Considering the hype it's received, I'd be curious to see if they'd consider doing anything for the lines, especially with how long they get on weekends. Baristas were kind and efficient. Much appreciated their eagerness to get you taken care of. read more

Community Goods - Matcha einspanner - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Community Goods is a place I've always seen all over online, especially with people calling it one of the best matcha spots in LA and talking about the long lines. My friends and I finally decided we had to try it for ourselves. We ended up going on a really rainy day on a bit of a whim, sharing a single umbrella between the three of us, which already made the whole experience kind of funny. We still waited about an hour in the rain, and we kept wondering why so many people were still lining up in weather like that, but once we got our drinks, it made sense since everyone probably had the same idea as us. The staff were really nice even with how busy it was, and once we got inside everything moved pretty smoothly. We all ordered the matcha Einspanner, and it was definitely worth the wait. You can really taste the quality, especially knowing they use Rocky's Matcha, and it feels carefully made from the texture to the balance of flavors. The cream top was smooth and added a nice richness without overpowering the matcha, which made the drink feel really well put together. The only downside for me was the cup size, especially for almost $8. I was expecting something a bit bigger, but I also get that it's LA and more about quality than quantity. Overall, it lived up to the hype, and I'd definitely come back to try their hojicha next time, hopefully not during a rainy day again. read more

I finally get the hype now. Everything feels intentional -- from the space to the menu -- and it actually lives up to the aesthetic. We got the vanilla latte and matcha latte, and both were really good -- not just "cute for photos" good. Be prepared though -- we waited about an hour, and parking around Melrose is its own adventure. Typical LA struggle. At least it ended up being worth it. read more

I waited an hour and a half to finally try this hyped up matcha spot. I always pass because the line is HUGE, and I don't think that will ever change. When I got in, it was quick and I ordered their Einspanner matcha with almond milk. The creaminess is perfect. Their matcha quality is great. I'm glad that I was able to finally try it, but it's not a place I'd go consistently because of the wait. It's on my top 5 matcha spots. read more

I came on a Tuesday 20 minutes after they opened and there were only 4 people in front of me, which was amazing because I heard this place gets crazy packed. I tried their matcha latte and Einspänner latte, both definitely lived up to the hype 10/10 and the breakfast sliders were heavenly! Everything came out really quick and they have an outdoor seating area. Overall I think if you can get here early before the crowd it's totally worth it! read more

I had heard good things from my family about this place. We had tried to go last Saturday which was Coachella's first weekend assuming the lines might be shorter. We were SO wrong. So this weekend we went early and STILL waited an hour for breakfast sandwiches. Was it worth it. Yes and no. We got three breakfast "sliders" with bacon, an Americano and a cold brew. The sliders come four to an order on Hawaiian bread and they are VERY good. Fluffy egg, crisp bacon & cheese and a griddled bun. They come with two sauces: A hot sauce that was a bit too sweet for my taste but still good. And a green sauce that reminded me of Béarnaise sauce that I initially didn't like but definitely grew on me. The coffee is good. Will we go again? Probably not but it's worth trying. Go early and be prepared to wait and pay a premium price. ($12 + 2 for bacon) There's a few outdoor tables, they were bumping some decent music inside and once we ordered the sliders were ready in minutes. I'm going to try to replicate these sandos at home. 9/10 read more

Like many others we visited because we had heard such great things on TikTok about Community Goods. On a Saturday morning, we stood in line for about 1.5 hours, so it is definitely not the type of breakfast/drinks run we would ever make regularly. However, it was worth the wait for good food and a good experience. We had the breakfast sliders, two orders with added bacon and avocado and one without. They are quite fresh with very fluffy eggs, and the hot sauce included was just the right mix of sweet and spicy. They are small but quite filling as a whole order! The matcha is definitely high quality and quite concentrated. I'd recommend it for anyone with a few hours of conversation with friends to spare! read more

The hype is definitely back. I rarely come to Community Goods since it's a lengthy drive from me but I came with a friend today and we decided to make the stop. We came here on an early Saturday afternoon at 1pm and holy cow, the line was insane. The line wrapped around the corner and past the eye shop. It took about 1 hour 30 minutes to get inside, order, and grab our drinks. If you're not a line waiter, just come back on a weekday during off-hours because I've never seen the line stretch this long before. It took less than 2 minutes for our drinks to come out. They have someone portion out the milk and matcha so the process can go back faster. I ordered the matcha einspanner latte with whole milk and wow. It's whole milk, cream top, then the matcha on top spinkled with some sea salt and matcha powder. Everything was combined perfectly and there was a good sweetness to the matcha. This is definitely worth the try even if you don't like matcha because there was no grassy taste to this drink. The drink is for sure a 10/10 for me but the wait time is a little atrocious. read more

We waited in line for about 30-40 minutes on an early Saturday morning. I had high hopes for the matcha einspanner. While I appreciated the pinch of flaky salt on the cream top, it was ultimately too sweet and ended up tasting more like a vanilla milkshake than matcha. The sliders were warm, soft, and fluffy. We added bacon, and avocado would have made them even better. They were melt in your mouth, especially dipped in the lemon herb aioli. The pistachio toast featured pistachio cream spread over sourdough, topped with a generous drizzle of honey and crushed salted pistachios. It was a satisfying sweet breakfast option, though I found it a bit heavy and a little too sweet. Overall, it was worth trying once, but I wouldn't wait in such a long line again if I were a local. read more

Finally tried Community Goods! Waited an 1hr+ on a Friday around noon (not sure if that's the average wait, might have been longer because of spring break). I had an alright experience, but it did feel rushed when you are inside. My friend also had a bad interaction with her server, who made her feel like he was being impatient with her. We both at least got two drinks each since we waited so long. The Matcha Einspanner was really tasty, so I can say I finally understand the hype. Overall, the product is good but would ask the staff to have a little more patience with their first time guests. Thank you! read more

Community Goods - Matcha einspanner - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been wanting to try this place after seeing it all over social media, and I was pleasantly surprised it lived up to the hype. If you can, go on a weekday morning right when they open. I went on a Wednesday morning around 8:30am and there was no line. Without the crowd, I drove by the shop without even recognizing it. I waited for about 5-10 min for 2 groups ahead of me to order, which is like any other coffee shop. Inside, seating was limited and there were quite a few people waiting, so I chose the outdoor patio instead. The patio had more tables and nice greenery, which made it a great alternative. They give you a ringer when you order food, and I waited about 15 minutes, which felt reasonable for both a drink and food. I ordered matcha einspanner and the viral breakfast sliders. I could instantly taste the high quality of the Rocky's matcha. It initially has a bitter bite that quickly dissipates and makes you want another sip. The breakfast sliders were also surprisingly delicious. I added avocado, which added extra freshness. The egg was light and fluffy, tasted like real eggs, and did not leave a lingering eggy aftertaste. I honestly wouldn't know how to recreate that at home. The Hawaiian buns paired well with the sauce that was sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors and really elevated the sliders. While I was happy with my order, I am not sure I would wait in a long line, since I think it would raise my expectations. It is on the pricier side, but the quality and taste of the drinks and food is worth trying. I think if you have a chance, go early or when there is no line. read more

I never gave a review here and I've been here 3x now. Yes there literally is a line out the door for a reason. I tried to hate on the hype but damn the matcha is so good and smooth here. Like you're getting that Japanese good matcha. Of course I make matcha at home but I sometimes like TREATING MYSELF OUT. The sliders are also good and flavorful. They're a bit spicy bc of the sauce and the bacon is thick and juicy. It was pricey bc I added bacon and avocado but I don't regret it. The Hawaiian rolls too are delish. It's a good sandwich there's no denying that. I appreciate that they don't charge for the different type of milk you want but they do charge for sweetener which is fine. I should be paying for sweetener bc it's not always good for me JK. The honey is worth it. My cashier recommended vanilla bean and now I regret not trying it but I will next time! Be prepared for a line outside and inside. Even when it's raining. Although there was no line outside when I went on Christmas Eve in the rain! read more

Finally tried Community Goods and honestly, the hype is real. The line was insane in this heat-wave (we waited maybe 45 minutes), but worth a try if you have the time! Tried the iced matcha latte with oat milk and it was sooo good... such good matcha quality and not too sweet, super well balanced. I've also heard the matcha einspanner is great if you like something sweeter. Noticed they also have cute patio seating outdoors with canopies. They're known for their breakfast sliders, but they stop serving at noon (we just missed it ughh), so definitely will be back to try those next time. read more

Incredible! We ordered Einspänner Matcha Lattes, Breakfast Sliders with Bacon and Avocado, and a slice of Banana Bread with Passionfruit butter, and everything was delicious! The matcha was probably the best matcha I've ever had. I can't stop thinking about everything I've had! Be prepared to wait in line, but I personally feel it was worth the wait! I waited approximately one-hour with the end of line being right at the corner of Edinburgh and Melrose Ave. Other than the line, the only con is it is quite expensive, with it being over $40 for 2 drinks, 1 order of sliders, and a slice of banana bread. read more

Not to be a basic b(oy), but Community Goods arguably has the best matcha in LA. I took a detour on the way to work on a Wednesday morning and thank my lucky stars that the fabled line wrapping around the corner was not there. I arrived around 10:30am and the line was only a little bit out the door. The total time from the start of my queue to receiving my drinks was probably less than 20 minutes. I even found free parking nearby! But I also was probably extremely lucky so take my experience with a grain of salt. But even though the line wasn't that long, the inside of the store was still cramped and overcrowded because of how small the shop is. There's not much room inside to stand, so we were asked to wait outside. But while I was waiting outside, I noticed that I didn't hear any names being called out. I sat there for a while, wondering how I was supposed to know when my order was ready. Eventually, I just decided to go back inside to check and found my order sitting on the counter. This was mildly irritating. I can understand asking guests to wait outside, but if you're going to make them go outside, you should have a way to communicate with them to let them know when their order is ready. I did not receive a text message. I was not given a buzzer. It's impossible to hear your name being called if you're standing outside. And a worker never came outside to call my name.  I got the matcha einspanner (secret menu), matcha latte, and hojicha latte. The matcha latte was perfect. I had mine sweetened with maple syrup. The matcha was rich, nutty, and not too sweet. I'm also not the biggest hojicha person, but this hojicha was very good. The roasted flavor was vibrant and tasted like kinako powder. But my personal favorite was the matcha einspanner. The whipped cream on top makes the einspanner especially creamy and indulgent, and that creamy foam coupled with the lightly salted flavor complement each other very well. And despite these different flavors and textures, the taste of matcha is not lost. Even though the service had room for improvement, the drinks were very good. I would definitely come back on a weekday morning for another matcha einspanner. read more

Totally lives up to the hype. We had high expectations coming in, but the food and coffee somehow surpassed our expectations. The line was long but went by pretty fast. The barista making the coffee was in the zone, locked in and definitely knew what she was doing. As for the food and drinks -- the lattes and matcha were insane. The banana bread with passionfruit butter was so so good and the breakfast sliders were truly untouchable. This has got to be one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Can't wait to go back and wait in line again read more

This place is everything I hate about LA: hyped up 'viral' places you 'have to try', long lines, over priced for the size, and everyone getting trying to get their best fit off just to get some coffee/matcha. I grew up here and this is one of those places that transplants will see and make their opinion that this place represents LA culture, when this is all the worst parts of 'LA'. Sorry this review is more of a rant, and less about the actual place and maybe about the hype, but you can't ignore the hype of this place now and be prepared to wait 30 minutes for a drink almost no matter when you go. Went here because my friends wanted to try it and we started off waiting in the line outside for about an hour on a Saturday morning. Once we got inside it's super cramped and unenjoyable because of how popular and how many people are inside. I guess thats what you're gonna get when the demand far exceeds the size of the place, but still it's not an nice place to be. We got the matcha latte and the cafe con leche and the drinks were solid, but nothing crazy. Definitely not worth waiting in line for 30 minutes, even much less an hour line. Especially for how small they are and for as much $$ ($7-8) as they are. Also got the 'must try breakfast sliders' and they are just egg on kings hawaiian rolls. The sauces are good tho and is really the only redeeming part of them. Overall really disappointed and not a fan. More for the rest of you guys I will never go back willingly. read more

Drinks are delicious but not sure why this place is extremely overhyped. If you're not a line waiter, this place isn't for you. The line was fairly short so we decided to give it a chance. Even the short line was about a 15-20-minute wait and we only waited since we were deciding on follow up plans. Waiting inside is not for the claustrophobics. It can get stuffy in there with no room to move. There's an outdoor seating area but customers aren't very considerate sometimes when one person takes up an entire bench. It's also very small, limited room to move. Bathroom is outdoor. We got the hojicha einspanner and vanilla einspanner. Both good drinks. Hojicha was potent enough. It is pricey for the size of it, which is my one qualm about it. Memorylook and Damo are still my top contenders and great options if you're looking to try something new. read more

Heard many people talk about this place and thought it might be overhyped but I was WRONG. Got one of the specialty lattes and boy was it good. If you like rich and creamy coffee then this is for you. In addition, I like the dash of sea salt which gave it a nice flavor. Bc it's popular, expect to wait 10-20 min. The inside is really small but tastefully decorated. There is a small outdoor space with some tables but i wouldn't say it's a good study spot. Staff were friendly and the service was fast. I heard the matcha here is really good so I'll be trying that next time. read more
