Maybe they're just used to it, but I'll never understand it. Nice ambience overall, though it's not the best place to get work done if you can't stand blaring loud music. I can work with it, but it's definitely loud.

The atmosphere inside was loud and felt a little like being in a club, which wasn't quite what I expected for a coffee spot. The outdoor setting was beautiful, though! Sitting outside and enjoying the scenery of USC Village was the highlight of my visit. It made for a lovely place to relax and enjoy my drink. Overall, I enjoyed the surroundings more than the matcha itself.

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 :)

My family and I ended up finding out about it going down the escalators from the theater area at the Museum. There is also a small shop for the Museum of Natural History, located on the first floor, with limited hours. There are a variety of options here from coffee and pastries. We ended up just getting a iced coffee and a lavender latte. Both drinks were delicious. The team members are amazing here and the service was fantastic! The coffee shop was slightly busy, but it was to be expected since it's right near the museum. It was nice to be able to take a break after walking around the museum for several hours.

There was a scenario where i asked to get my drink with oat milk and the barista got bothered that i told her i can taste the whole milk. when she remade it she side commented "if you still taste the whole milk i will go to the doctors and check it out" very unnecessary that i didn't come back for a while. decided to give it another try because i am a coffee enthusiasts and each time i fear my coffee has whole milk because it's always the same barista. highly recommend going to the south la on vermont and manchester!! baristas are super friendly and welcoming EDIT: i orders a jalapeno and cheese croissant and event told the barrista that i might have gotten the wrong one because i don't see any jalapeños mind you she said nope that's it i can tell by the way it looks (this is the same barrista who made the side comment about the oat milk) i gave it to my coworker who is a vegetarian and as she opens it there is a slice of turkey. if i can give this place zero stars i would.

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.

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.

Please do better for your unsuspecting customers. Perhaps simply place the lid next to the drink when presenting it on the counter.

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.

The valet staff were really nice about it. The café has a cool industrial vibe with exposed ceilings, concrete floors, warm lighting, and some unique vintage touches. It definitely has more character than your typical modern coffee shop. They also have a good selection of pastries, cookies, and other baked goods. I ordered an Espresso Tonic and an Iced Americano. The Espresso Tonic was really refreshing and had a nice citrusy kick. I enjoyed the flavor, but the portion was surprisingly small, which was a little disappointing. The staff inside were friendly and nice as well. Overall, I liked the coffee, service, and atmosphere. I'd definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

The Orange Mint Matcha was completely unexpected for me, but the delicate citrusy orange and subtle hint of mint complemented the rich, earthy matcha so beautifully. And the Dirty Matcha? Another winner. I've tried matcha + espresso at other places and usually haven't been a fan, but AOU's version was a close second to my favorite matcha drink. Both were incredible. And the food did not disappoint. The Spicy Miso Carbonara was a delicious combination of creamy, savory and spicy -- chef's kiss. The Wagyu Egg Sliders came with perfectly cooked medium steak, soft creamy egg and cheese -- the ultimate little bites. Beautiful space, great drinks, incredible food, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There's even enough room to sit, work, and actually enjoy a quiet moment. Definitely coming back ASAP.

Our most recent visit (documented in this review) not only highlights what you should always get, but their new menu items that transcend most culinary boundaries. SYNT Coffee is tucked in a small shopping plaza with valet only (), so the only main issue is finding a place to park your car. However, when you enter, it's a minimalist but clean, polished, and fairly casual but lively atmosphere with wooden tables for groups of 3-4 or smaller. I love the servers too -- They're super efficient and attentive !! We always come back here for the fun vibes and the deliciously sweet drinks and desserts (though some menu items are sweeter than others, such as the sweet potato cake being milder and lovely, but the croffle and sweet corn latte being sweeter).

Will say it was very packed inside and there was even a waitlist for dine-in, which I've never seen for a cafe (usually you js gotta wait and hope) It's gorgeous inside!!
