Banana pudding matcha was incredible!! One of the best matchas I have ever had. I Will be back asap and love the home cafe too and supporting small business.

banana pudding matcha

I have come back a few times now because I love it that much! First time I tried the strawberry shortcake matcha, it definitely paired very well together and wasn't too milky or too sweet for my liking. The banana pudding has been my favorite as of lately. The pudding thickens the drink a little when you mix it and it's so yummy! On its own the matcha is great quality for the price. Only thing I would say is she gets pretty busy in the mornings so be sure to order ahead! :)

Banana pudding matcha & strawberry matcha cloud

Easy ordering process & is quick to reply. Gave her my eta to her location and she was ready with my drinks. The strawberry matcha cloud & banana pudding matcha are to die for ! Amazing flavors and I actually finished it before getting home. Definitely ordering from her again and trying out the other drinks on the menu.

Strawberry shortcakes Chai

This is local small business and honestly, I'm so glad I gave it a chance. You can really tell they put a lot of care, effort, and attention to detail into everything. The strawberry shortcake chai was very good. It gave me instant nostalgia and reminded me of the strawberry shortcake ice cream bar from the ice cream truck, but as a drink. The banana pudding matcha was also really good, flavorful, smooth, and not too overly sweet, which I really appreciated. The avocado toast was fresh, simple, and made well. I will say, I was a little surprised at first that it was at a residence, and it did take me a bit of reading through reviews to figure out how to order. But once I figured it out, it was absolutely worth it. It honestly feels like a little hidden gem, and I would definitely recommend supporting them. You can tell this is made with love.

Got two drinks, both of them were delicious and high quality. biscoff matcha and banana latte were A+. so much thought was put into the menu and cute branding. 10/10 would come again.

Mazapán Latte !!

Every single drink has been 10/10! My favorite is the mazapán latte, mazapán flavored with bits of mazapán at the bottom and cold foam! Highly recommend their matcha for all the matcha girlies Support your local baristas!

my coworkers and i love this coffee shop! we always get delivery and she always goes about and beyond. we tried loads of her coffees & goods and always look forward to our new orders.

This is cool! Delicious coffee out of a house and it's affordable. The cocoa puff cold brew is delicious just wish the coffee was stronger. But definitely cool helping out a small businesses, check them out they have a lot of options

Cookie Butter Latte

I had the cookie butter latte--sooooo good!! Not heavy or too sweet and the foam with cookie crumble on top was perfect!! Service was great and for the price is amazing, compared to what you'll find out there!!

Strawberry shortcake matcha

So yummy!! Strawberry shortcake matcha and Mazapan latte were amazing!! Definitely will be returning

Hey Damo, would it hurt to let your customers know that you only set the lid on top of the drinks? You don't actually snap it down on the drink. Not knowing this I spilled a portion of my latte. When I was in line at nearby Out of Ordi a young lady near me spilled quite a bit of her drink on her hands and clothes. The poor kid was embarrassed. Please do better for your unsuspecting customers. Perhaps simply place the lid next to the drink when presenting it on the counter.

It seems the other options for matcha and hojica were not popular - tonics, regular matcha with sweet cream, dirty matcha, etc But it was the perfect combination of creamy and bright, that's putting it lightly :). I got the hojicha latte by its house special, choice and recommended hojicha powder with oatmilk and absolute no fuss customer service. I would like to repeat this order with a foam so that the upcharge is worth it though. Not to mention, that variety of hojicha is definitely Korean whereas the matcha shifts recommendations season-to-season and depends upon the syrups of the shifting preferences in-house.

Lots of interesting choices. The drinks were well balanced and not overly sweet, so you could actually taste the coffee instead of having it covered up by syrups or other flavors. The coffee itself was smooth, with no harsh or overly bitter aftertaste. I also liked that the flavors complemented the coffee rather than overpowering it. Loved the honey lavender matcha and peanut coffee. The drinks were beautifully presented too, so they looked just as good as they tasted. Overall, a really enjoyable coffee experience and definitely a place I'd come back to try more drinks.

And they are so sweet and do not rush anyone, you can stay here as long as you want. My friends and I WFH so we decided to Work From MemoryLook (WFML) one day together. I'm glad we did! Great pastries in the morning, i had the cremme brûlée donut which had tons of filling, and the pea foam matcha latte which was fantastic. And I had an EXCELLENT chicken Chipotle wrap at lunch that was recommended to me by the gentleman working at memory look. I'm not certain where these wraps are made. Another gentleman would bring them from the building in the same complex. I LOVED my wrap. They have a ton of seating outside too but there aren't any outlets out there so it's harder to WFH out there unless you're fully charged. But was great for separate meetings we all had to attend. The photobooth was fun but we were so thrown off by it taking 8 photos, we had no idea how many poses we would have to come up with hahaha. I would definitely come back here anytime!

Parking is also pretty convenient with a good amount of spaces available. When I visited, though, there weren't many desserts on display. For drinks, they don't offer a double matcha option, but you can order a matcha latte with Einspänner cream instead. The drink itself was good, although I found the prices a little higher compared to other matcha spots I've tried. Service was on the slower side, and it took a while for the drinks to come out. The staff were okay, but not particularly friendly. (+) Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, convenient parking (-) Pricier than other matcha spots, slower drink preparation, and no double matcha option

The inside has a good amount of seating both in doors and outdoors so pets are welcome! The two baristas that were there when I went were super chill and quick with making drinks as well. I got the Whipped Honey Latte which was absolutely delicious and the perfect amount of caffeine for me to push through the rest of my work. I sat upstairs in one of the lounge chairs and everyone seemed to be working as well. The view from up top you can see a good amount of the city. Will definitely be coming back here when I'm in the area :)

The service was okay, could have been more welcoming, but by the time I arrived it was starting to get busier in the cafe. The upstairs area seemed like it was good to sit to do work, but it was completely packed when I got there! My friends and I ended up sitting in the back tables outside, which was all good since we weren't there to do work. I ordered the matcha latte with oat milk, which was great but took about 10 minutes to come out. Also ordered the chocolate croissant -- that was delicious. They heated it up for me, and I made a big ole flakey mess and got chocolate all over myself, but it was worth it. Overall...I mighhhhht come back if I'm in the area. I would maybe come earlier and see if I could snag a seat upstairs to do work.

It pains me to give this 5-stars but truth be told, they deserve it…read more Let me preface: I am not from LA, I don't live in LA, I am not an LA POS. But Community Goods is often touted as staple POS behavior. Naturally, I scoff at the idea of driving to a ritzy part of town to wait an hour in line for coffee and Hawaiian roll sandwiches. And yet, that's exactly what we did. Given my preconceived notions of LA culture, I envisaged biting into a gluten-free, flavor-free, low-carb, lean protein, overpriced slider. I'd walk away disappointed, a bit poorer, and still hungry. Yeah, nope. First off, they had espresso tonics. Dead ass simple item but surprisingly hard to find on café menus. I absolutely love them. Note to self: look into making them at home. On a hot day like today, their espresso tonic hit heavy, almost made me want to grab a 2nd one (if it weren't for the line). But their slider stole the show. The photos don't really do it justice, and yeah it's not the fattest thing in the world. But bacon, eggs, and cheese on a roll is so simple, so greasy, so delicious that you really can't go wrong. Ok yeah you can get that literally anywhere. But something about how haphazardly and dgaf it's assembled, plus whatever the hell sauce it comes with, makes this slider just a touch elevated. The inside had fun little trinkets to window shop. Once you're in the little shack, the line doesn't feel as daunting. There are benches, you can look at the menu, you can shop a bit. The workers all had these sick black canvas (or was it denim?) overalls. I wonder if those are for sale? Seating is sparse, they've got tables along the sides and back, or you could eat in your car. The shack is small, don't expect to linger after getting your order. I probably won't be back. but all things considered, yeah this spot is hyped up heavy, but now I understand why.

I waited to try this place for so long so that the lines would taper off... But finally tried it on…read moreMemorial Day when I had the day off .... and so did the whole LA city lol. I won't bore you with the wait (but yes, we waited 40ish minutes). We got the typical matcha latte, and also the hojicha latte. I actually liked the hojicha one more! It held onto its hojicha essence, I feel like some places dilute it so much or add so much sugar. Here, you could taste the nuttiness of the hojicha, and I think there was a touch of maple syrup added. I liked the drink so much, I ordered hojicha powder online after (not the same, obviously!) Would I come back again? Yes.... but only during truly off-peak times because I don't think I can get myself to wait in line again lol.
