Wow they have pandan coffee and Ube coffee and the famous Malaya coffee all all are very good. Ambience are nice!!! Except the restroom I will rate it very poor. read more

Tried the Malaya Signature Latte here and it was delicious! The menu has a lot of drink options so I'll definitely head back to drink more. The service was also really great. Heads up that there is limited indoor seating so if it's busy, you may have trouble finding a spot. There's also a small parking lot in front of the shop. read more

Perfect treat this afternoon... had a classic ensaymada (warmed and so pillowy soft and deliciously buttery, sweet with just a taste of cheese) and an iced vanilla latte with velvety cold foam. Many thanks to the kind barista/cashier who gifted me the drink for half off for Nurses Week. read more

Parking lot is quite small with tight parking and people don't really leave. Needed to circle around a few times on a Monday around 11am until someone left. Street parking is metered. Great spot to for a work from cafe day. Really wanted to try their Caramel Banana Latte but they ran out today.. Malaya Signature Latte -coffee was smooth, drink was quite creamy. Nothing to complain about. Pandan Latte -not the best I've tried. Good drink but flavor was lacking, more condensed milk flavor that I would like over pandan. read more

Kinda bummed that the service was poor during our last visit. The wait time for our drinks did not make sense. Two customers that ordered after us received their drinks first. One of the customers after me also ordered their new signature Matchaho drink which was suppose to be made with oat milk but was not - it still went out. I have seen this cafe busier and this day was not one of them. Maybe it was an off day? Maybe they were training? read more

I do not feel a surge of energy yet and I am more than halfway finished but, I will be back to try their other drinks amd enjoy my morning..It's such a blessing to know so many amazing coffee spots in LA.

I found interest in this place because of their Filipino inspired coffee drinks. The parking lot is small and parking was difficult to find. Malaya Signature (5/5); This drink is perfect if you need caffeine and love cinnamon sugar taste. It was perfectly sweet and packed with flavor. Hopefully I can try new drinks in the future read more

Went on a Sunday morning and it was easy to find parking in the lot up front. The inside was really cute with plenty of seating. The staff was friendly and offered recommendations on what was popular on the menu. Of all the banana matcha I've had, this has got to be my favorite. They had so many different flavors of ensaymada too. read more

Came here early afternoon on a weekday. The place had a pretty chill vibe to it - minimalist decor which featured the traditional Filipino writing system (Baybayin). Service was quick and staff were friendly. Coffee we ordered tasted good. The ensaymadas were melt in your mouth superb. Note: Limited parking space. read more

This place is so far from me but is now my new favorite coffee shop. Totally worth the 40 minute drive every once in a while! I had somewhere to be in Silverlake later in the day so I decided to come here to do work while I wait for my next event. I came on a Friday around 2pm and was able to find parking in the lot, though the lot and the cafe started filling up around 4ish. I got an ube matcha with almond milk, and it was great! You could tell the matcha is high quality! I also got one of their mango brioche buns which was so delicious! Overall, it's a great study space with great drinks! I probably would avoid it on weekends but weekday mid days are awesome! The girl that helped me out up front was really nice too. Will be back! read more

Update: Drink: Came back here to get my usual matcha lattes, took off one star because it felt like the matcha wasn't strong enough/watered down. My partner also got a matcha latte and we agreed it felt watered down today. As soon as we got home, I made us both matcha shots to make up for it. We think they made one regular serving of matcha and just split it between the two drinks because after I made the matcha shots at home, it tasted how it usually tastes. Service: Employees felt off when we were ordering and it did not feel hospitable. Usually, we feel more welcomed, but today was not the case. I was thinking it, but my partner mentioned it on the drive home and we were bummed as we come to this establishment very frequently. Took off another star for that. Overall, I hope there is consistency within this cafe as this was one of our favorites. Nothing but the best for this establishment! read more

Malaya - Banana matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Malaya is a wonderful little coffee shop in the heart of Silver Lake. They serve Filipino inspired coffee and matcha drinks, as well as specialty ensaymadas (Filipino sweet bread) and ice cream. The space is bright and airy and is a great place to sit with a few friends or even work quietly. The staff at Malaya are also very warm and welcoming. I highly recommend the Malaya's Signature Latte (sweet side) and any of their matchas (pandan is popular). The cheese and the coconut pandan ensaymadas are really good and so soft. Make sure to get it warmed up. read more

Malaya is a cute little coffee shop in Echo Park with Filipino inspiration. Unlike some of the other spots in the area, it's quite spacious with plenty of room to work, play, or just vibe. The aesthetic is minimal yet cozy with light woods, natural light, and pops of greenery. I appreciated that they had unique flavors like ube and pandan in addition to more common ingredients like strawberry and banana. I've been obsessed with pandan, so I had to try the pandan matcha latte iced with oat milk. Truthfully, it was very sweet, so whether you enjoy it depends on your personal preferences. For me, the matcha flavor got a little lost, and when I did taste it, I did experience a bit of grittiness. If I were to order it again, I'd definitely do half sweet. That said, service was kind and fast and I'm happy I tried the spot. I'm intrigued enough that I'd come back to try something else. 3.5/5 read more

Amazing selection and exceptional service. The ambiance and vibes are A+. My personal favorites include their Malaya Signature, Pandan Matcha, and Brown Sugar Cold Brew.No matter if it's Caroline or Amaris or Claudia or Maui behind the counter, they always make my day and I always walk away with a great beverage and a smile. Anthony the owner is always a joy to chat with as well. For an area with some great coffee options, I always look forward to the next visit to Malaya! read more

Amazing drinks!! We tried these all iced and with oat milk: Ube Cream Latte, Pandan Latte and the Banana Matcha. Each drink had amazing flavor, definitely stir the pandan and ube lattes so you get the full effect. The matcha was so high quality with a vibrant color and the banana flavor actually tasted like banana chips! I hate this parking lot but I'd definitely come back if I was in the area. Drinks are on the sweeter side but I feel like that's expected to really taste the Filipino flavors. There's plenty of seating inside to hang out or get some work done and staff is friendly. They also have some ensaymadas (I think) that you can purchase. read more

Malaya - Ube Latte - so good! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Malaya Cafe is located in a plaza with a parking lot. First come first serve. We arrived just past noon and were able to find parking hassle free. I could see that later in the afternoon parking may not be as available. Let's get to it. How'd I end up here? Spending a work remote day with my sister, who lives in Silverlake, she said you ever been to Malaya? Matcha Pandan, Ube Latte sound good to you? I said, they got seating and wi-fi? She said "yes" I said "run it" Entering in you'll approach almost immediately the cashier and to your right will be a decent amount of seating ranging from small cafe table to barstool seating arrangements. We opted for bar style seating next to the drink station where we could both do work and catch a view of the drinks in action. What we drink? - Malaya Signature Latte 5/5 - Pandan Matcha Latte 5/5 Our barista was awesome and friendly about me snapping a few flicks of her process in action. Not sure if id recommend this cafe for folks who are looking to get some work done while lounging as it did get a bit loud and no quiet corners in the size of the cafe. I definitely recommend for a great latte, meet up with friends or just solo. Malaya is worth the visit and sip down to the last drop read more

A gem! I really love finding and trying out spots by my fellow Filipinos. And this place is amazing. I love their lattes, especially their matcha! They also offer ensaimadas and had their ube roll and it was soo good! They're in a plaza, parking might be difficult if it's packed. There are street parking around the area as well. Staff are always nice and welcoming! Indoor- it's simple, cute and aesthetically pleasing. I love their framed words in baybayin and it's so rare to see them nowadays. A must try! read more

Another great coffee shop in LA! Small parking lot, but probably better luck parking on the street. We got the Ube matcha latte and turon latte, both with oat milk. Both were balanced and nicely flavored; FYI for the picky matcha drinkers- the matcha had some astringency, but was smooth and was not too bitter. They also sell some Filipino baked goods and ice cream, which I'll be sure to try next time. This Filipino-owned coffee shop also had really cool cultural trinkets and decor, like their Baybayin signs. read more

While in the area I stopped by to get coffee with my son. I love trying coffee shops in the cities I'm visiting. Today after an appointment at a local hospital we came here to have coffee and chill. There is parking right in front of the shop so that was great. Customer service was friendly, one person taking orders and making coffee. It's spacious with tables and chairs and a sofa. He ordered the caramel banana iced latte and I got their signature iced latte ... even though I asked for less sweetener it was still too sweet for my taste. I honestly couldn't taste the coffee much. My son loved his latte because he loves sweet coffee. Overall a great spot to check out while in the area. They also have ensaymadas and ice cream .... I'll be back to give it another try ... read more

Tried their Ube Creme Latte, I got it half sweet, and it was still a bit too sweet for my taste, but my friend really enjoyed it. Definitely tasted the ube! The service was really great, and the staff were helpful with honest opinions and recommendations. They have limited seating, but I saw people studying here, so it's a nice spot to get some work done. Parking is in a small lot, and their menu looked promising.

This coffee shop was busy with people working or enjoying their drinks. I ordered a matcha ube latte which both flavors came through and didn't overpower the other. The miso caramel ice cream was delicious and smooth- it just comes in small scoops.

Decided to check out Malaya since I've seen a handful of friends try this place out recently and I love supporting Filipino-owned businesses. There is a dedicated lot in front of the store, but parking can be tricky depending on how busy it is. I came on a Monday afternoon and there were a handful of spots in the lot. The inside is nice, bright and surrounded with light wood. It feels very warm and inviting with plenty of seating to study or catch up on some work. Very cute and cozy vibes for sure. The staff were super nice and we got our drinks relatively quickly. I got the Banana Caramel Latte. Banana Caramel Latte 8/10 - The first thing that stood out to me was the banana flavoring. It was definitely more "real" tasting than artificial tasting. The caramel was strong as well. The cream it came with was thick, sweet, and creamy. I would say overall the drink is on the sweeter side, but I didn't mind since I do have a sweet tooth so do keep that in mind! I really enjoyed the vibe of this cafe and love that they have Filipino flavors like ube in their drinks. I would come back to try the other drinks on the menu! read more

Heard about this new coffee shop. They also serve matcha and ice cream. They have a nice array of coffee and matcha with some Filipino inspired flavors like Ube and pandan. It was later in the afternoon, so I opted for the Ube Matcha. I'm usually not a fan of flavored matchas, but I thought I would give it a try, and it was very enjoyable. It wasn't too sweet and the matcha and Ube flavors were well defined. Cute seating areas for groups and also single seats to work at. There was a good variety of ensymadas, and if you want a quick snack, they hit the spot. Staff was very friendly and the cafe is dog friendly. Parking could be challenging, but they do have a parking lot for the businesses in the strip, and there is also street parking. I'll be back earlier in the day to try their coffee drinks, especially their signature latte which has my fav, condensed milk. read more

This area is filled with amazing coffee shops and Malaya was still packed with people for good reason! I couldn't decide on what to get but I settled on the ube creme latte after a recommendation from the barista and a pandan ensaymada. The latte came with a creme top which was delightful and the espresso and ube were excellent. The ensaymadas are little brioche buns with filling and I took mine home and microwaved it for a couple seconds and it turned out perfect. Super soft and fluffy. There is some seating inside but definitely limited. Seemed like a lot of people hanging out and a lot of regulars chatting which I loved! read more
