    A spot that's definitely worth visiting for both the food and drinks. The breakfast burrito was delicious, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. I also loved the way the cold drinks were packaged; it was a thoughtful touch that stood out. The space is beautiful, with a modern interior and plenty of seating. The second floor offers a cozy lounge and office-style workspaces, making it the perfect place to step away from the crowd, get some work done, or meet with a group. Overall, a welcoming atmosphere with great food, drinks, and plenty of room to relax or be productive.

    Food and drinks were out of this world!!! Super cute fresh feeling spot. Everything we ordered was so good! We tried the breakfast burritos, LA heatwave bagle and the chicken bowl all were delicious. Fresh and piping hot. We ordered a coffee, smoothie, fresh juice and matcha, again all were so yummy! Highly recommend!

    Blueberry Milk Latte

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Dre's Cafe... and so does my doggo! The drinks are amazing. I don't have a usual because I feel like I try something new each time and sometimes I just come in for a juice. Today though, when we came in they were marketing a new latte that wasn't on the menu yet, a blueberry milk latte. It was uh-mazing. I do have a usual food order which is the salmon lox bagel on a jalapeño cheddar bagel, but I decided to switch it up and got the Dre's Breakfast Sando. Pretzel bun, egg, cheese, and some yummy mustardy sauce. So good. Not only do the food and drinks slap, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. They always make my dog feel like a celebrity and give him snacks. This review is well overdue as Dre's has been such a great addition to the neighborhood for at least a year now!

    Super nice staff and dog friendly. Dre's cold brew was the perfect amount of sweetness with vanilla cold foam. Dre's breakfast sando was fresh delicious and hearty loved the aiole sauce and seeded pretzel bun!

    The food is phenomenal! The breakfast sandwich is huge and I really loved it, and they have a good matcha. Staff gives out free samples of their specialty lemonade every day, plus there's wifi for getting work done. The interior is beautiful with really tall ceilings.. it's the perfect place to hang out, get work done, have a matcha date, or eat lunch. Easter Egg: their logo emulates an original Banksy painting on the side of the building. I'll surely be using it as my daily office.

    Just walked by and found a cute little coffee spot! The front is unassuming pink neon signage so I thought it was a salon at first! They have some pastries and other breakfast options too. We got some coffee and our order was prepared quick and served tableside. Cute and comfortable indoor area to enjoy your drinks and food.

    Very Dog Friendly .. Lucy pulls me in to see the girls as they always greet her with treats ! The food is generously proportioned.. definitely can share. The interior I has a tropical vibe. They provide breakfast and lunch , lattes and pastries.

    Mango matcha

    Not a fan of the customer service, who wants to spend $50 on coffee and not even get a hi or anything and then it's like the feeling of asking a question shouldn't be bothering a worker #NO TIP After leaving my review, they did come to check in on my satisfaction with my purchase so that I appreciate and I will add the mango matcha and heat check were good and worth the purchase.

    Another break, another matcha review. This time I found myself in DTLA and this was one of the first shops to pop up. Immediately once you walk in you're greeted with this huge greenery wall with the store's name. It definitely set the whole vibe of store as calming and relaxed. The baristas were nice as well and greeted me upon arrival. I ordered a matcha latte with an ube cream top and it's so delicious!! The matcha is perfectly bitter and the color is beautiful along with the cream top being so colorful and sweet. I didn't need to add any sweeteners because the ube was perfect enough! Maybe next time I'm in the area I'll order something off their food menu as well. Everything smelled and looks so delicious!!

    So good I made it all disappear.

    I checked out of my hotel and needed to eat somewhere close and affordable. There's so many options around, but walking by the place caught my eye. The atmosphere is nice and even with the door open it feels cool. Music not too loud. A nice change of setting from the hot grimey LA streets right outside. I was greeted by the kitchen staff upon entry and the cashier gave me a menu to read. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant and the watermelon juice, both for my appetite levels and also the price. These are some more affordable options, but overall the price's are moderate and a good value. Initially I was told that the watermelon juice was out of stock, but the cashier was able to double check and find me some. Presumably watermelon juice stocked and reserved for another drink, as she asked for permission to serve it to me. I really appreciate the effort and communication on her part. While I waited for my food, I had a much needed cup of water from the self serve station and the watermelon juice was served to me immediately. A hefty portion considering it has no ice in the container (which was full to the top when handed to me.) The ham and cheese croissant came out shortly after, served to me at my table. The portion is bigger than I anticipated. The croissant texture and flavor is well suited for the sandwich. It came pressed and warm. The white cheese was gooey and fully melted. Overall I am very satisfied, I cleaned my plate, and glad that I dropped in. Trying new places has me hesitant because a bad first meal of the day ruins my mood, but I had no choice being a visitor. So thank you for helping me start my day off right. Full, happy, and satisfied.

    Pineapple Juice and Cookie Butter Latte
    Cheyenne G.

    Walked by this place and had to go in! Such a chill, modern vibe. The service was fast and friendly, and they had sooo much options it was hard to choose. Ended up going with the cookie butter iced latte and my daughter picked pineapple juice. So much seating and perfect to chat, eat, work, etc.

    This place was a really cool vibe! I came here to study with my girlfriend and it was a good time! Outlets are there but just have to find the right spot. We ordered the breakfast burrito and protein waffles in which both were pretty good! I ended up getting the Cold brew with a vanilla cream foam on top. The workers seemed all nice and created a great atmosphere.

    I found this place trying to find something to eat before a concert at the Orpheum. This place is SUPER CUTE! I was greeted immediately as I walked in. The gal at the counter was friendly and patient with me since it was my first time. I told her I was hungry and wanted a filling sandwich. She recommended the Italian. And I chose a Dre's cold brew to wash it down. The sandwich was AMAZING! The cold brew had a vanilla cream top. The cold brew was good but I would have liked go the cream too to have been a little sweeter. Overall it was great! I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area.

I think with soy meat it could be even better, I'll see if that's an option next time, but this was 4.5/5. West coast shrimp side is really satisfying and savory.

While I am not at all vegan, it can be a fantastic change of pace when trying a cuisine that is not at all my regular routine. Happily, Variable has tons of choices, and we loved what we got. I was drawn towards the 'N Seoul Bowl' (Korean spicy plant based pork, house marinated Kimchi, organic edamame, steamed organic spinach, carrot, steamed broccoli, onion , organic shiitake, topped with green onion and sesame seeds and side organic quinoa). So good, a bit spicy, and so many flavors on the plate it was impossible to not only love it, but I could not finish it, either. That goes from all their dishes. They are big, and in our experience, it came out piping hot soon after ordering it. My companion tried the 'Indian Tikka Masala' (homemade Indian curry, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, yellow squash, potatoes, cabbage, chickpea, micro green, Served with blend wild Jasmin rice and Indian Flat Bread). Tastes so fresh, hearty, with just enough of a kick to it. I look forward to trying some of their other dishes, too. The burger that the table near us ordered looked fantastic. I gotta think that everything here is pretty dang great.

On this visit, I got the OG Avocado Toast. The avocado was perfectly ripe and fresh, and a heaping portion was served over their toasted olive bread. It's a pretty simple preparation. I probably would have preferred the Mediterranean version, as the tomatoes on this weren't my fave and there was raw red onion mixed into the avo so I wasn't able to pick it out. Next time, I'll have to request it without the onion. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu items.

This is a tea-forward spot that makes all ingredients and toppings fresh from scratch daily. Their most well-known unique topping is the barley popping boba. They use a real-chewy highland barley grain that gives off a nutty, earthy and milkdly sweet pop that makes for a unique texture. The fan-favorite drink is the Mochi Barley Burst which pairs a floral black milk tea with the popping barley and fresh handcrafted mochi. The tea does not have any artificial syrups and uses an organic milk with a bold tea base. The handcrafted mochi is super fun to have with the popping barley because it is pillowy and velvety. Make sure to mix it well together, so you can enjoy the whole drink for all its features. I like the ambiance of the shop. It's a smaller shop with some seating area. You order your drink at the self-service station. There's quite a few staff working to make the drinks, so we got our drinks in less than 10 minutes. I adore 3CAT and I would highly recommend visiting if you haven't already!

CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly customer service. They were a bit slow in making the matcha and the soft serve is my small complaint. It took a bit more time than desired. AMBIANCE + SEATS Small store. Lots of tea-related merch sold. They also sell their own matcha and other teas as well. Two outdoor seats with tables. Seats for 2. The outdoor area was not clean, so would not recommend. The tables looked clean, but the ground around it smelled of urine. Yuck. Some people may not have noticed because there were people who sat at the tables and enjoyed their matcha and soft serve ice cream. Yay for them. Would I return? Not sure. I enjoyed everything, but the parking situation is not ideal. I feel like I have to go out of my way to come here. Although Honda Plaza did not have any homeless in the immediate area, as soon as you drive to the main street, there was a homeless camp nearby. So it's just less and less appealing to return.
