Parking here may be difficult to find on the street, but they do have valet, too. On a Saturday afternoon, this spot is packed and quite hard to find a place to sit. Wi-Fi is available, though note that plugs and seating may be another issue. Not every spot comes with a plug, and it's going to be full, so you may need to wait 15-20 minutes. It is indeed a small spot, so if you're looking for a quiet spot to work, this might not be it. The interior decor, though, is quite clean aesthetically and is relaxing to work in. The Matcha Latte, though, let me say if you're in need of an afternoon pick-me-up, this will keep you energized, even without the sugar! A few sips in and a half cup later, I had so much energy I could probably run a marathon if I had the right shoes (and I don't even like running).

We visited Oakobing for dessert after dining at Hangari Kalguksu nearby just before for lunch…read more Although it was just down the street, we had to pay again for parking since we weren't allowed to leave the respective lots without paying extra. $5 parking just to grab dessert was a bit of a sting but for LA it's to be expected. The place was somewhat small but wasn't really busy for a Saturday afternoon, and we noticed they had some spacious auxiliary seating areas specifically for Oakobing across the hall. At first glance, the prices seemed sort of high for shaved ice, so we opted for sharing 2 of the smallest personal sizes ($8.5 each). It turns out that this size was plenty. I'm not sure how big the regular bowls are, but I think especially after a meal the personal size is plenty for a satisfying dessert for 2 people. I'm assuming part of the large price difference in sizes comes down to the large amount of fresh fruit that comes on their regular bowls. Still, we very much enjoyed our bowls. The ice is shaved almost impossibly thin, and rather than melting into a pool of water almost turns into a sorbet/ice cream like texture, which is very satisfying to eat. I enjoyed how their condensed milk topping was diluted to form a lighter cream that was more sauce-like than think and drizzle-like. It all lended to making the dessert enjoyably light. I would definitely drop by again, especially if we could avoid the parking costs.

The flavors feel nostalgic and comforting while still being such a fun modern take on traditional Thai desserts. They have unique flavors like pandan milk, Thai tea, jasmine, coconut butterfly pea, black sticky rice, and even candle smoke salted egg yolk. I also love that they offer more than just gelato, from shaved ice and Thai custard toast to fun drinks and their loaded gelato buns with toppings like sticky rice, grass jelly, palm seeds, sweet corn, and coconut jelly. You can tell there's so much thought put into every item. Definitely one of those places I always crave after trying it once. My only complaint is that I wish they would open more locations because more people seriously need to experience this gem

She let me know that Memorylook is known for einspanners and they have their own parking lot. When there's a parking lot on-site, say less.. Parking wasn't too difficult to come by, and there are even a few electric charging spots if you need it. 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! It was so tasty!! The cream top was light and not too sweet. The hojicha was smooth. I really enjoyed it, and the latte definitely helped me keep cool while driving around LA on such a hot day. If I lived in LA, I could see myself coming here to do work on my laptop or to meet a friend. Such a cute, spacious spot!

I did share other items selected by my friend who was with me and did not get to taste them. The baristas were fun and friendly as they prepared our coffee.

Thankfully, I had parked and was on the go. I visited with a friend who ordered a Brown Sugar Miso Latte, and this one was SUPER sweet. I had an Iced Latte for myself. The espresso is pushes the edge of boldness, catching a taste just before a hint of bitterness - strong indeed! The creaminess of the milk indeed improves the texture. There are a variety of seating options, and the high tables are a tad skinny - fits a laptop but not a notebook, too, comfortably. It definitely errs on the minimalist side both in decor and coffee.
