    Cool, fun spot! Two of us ordered: iced americano $4.85 iced matcha latte $7.95 ($1 upcharge for oatmilk) Parked in the back. Cool space with outdoor seating.

    Date Cardamom Latte & Carrot Cake Latte
    Mary A.

    Came around 4PM on a Monday and it was still pretty busy. The space is very small but aesthetically pleasing, with some outdoor seating available. Parking can be a bit tricky. There's a back lot or metered street parking nearby. I ordered the hot date cardamom latte and the iced carrot cake latte (about $17 total). The date cardamom latte was the standout. Very aromatic with warm spice flavors that came through nicely. The carrot cake latte was a bit disappointing since it didn't really taste like carrot cake, though the coffee itself wasn't bad. A bit on the pricier side, but I'd come back to try other drinks if I'm in the area.

    Iced Okinawa Matcha Latte
    Karena S.

    Very modern and minimalist cafe! My friend recommended me to try this place if I was ever in the area and wow! There's very limited paid street parking in front of the cafe. There are a few tables outside where you can do your work and enjoy your drinks. I got the Okinawa matcha latte w/ whole milk! This drink wasn't very sweet which I appreciated and you can taste the earthiness of the matcha. I got to taste the strawberry matcha and it was good! The strawberry jam they have is presumably made with fresh strawberries since you can still feel seeds when it passes through the straw. I think the strawberry was a perfect addition and balance to the latte!

    I ordered the butterscotch latte and it was just ok. The person who was taking my order was very nice and helpful. It was my first time here and I was between two. Maybe, I didn't choose wisely. There were a bunch of people here on a Sunday afternoon. There was one party before me ordering and a few minutes later, a line formed very quickly behind me. I found parking on the street and walked, but I did have to circle once or twice.

    Caprese sandwich and side salad with a dendrobium orchid on top.

    The Caprese sandwich was so flavorful and the bread was delicately crispy. The arugal salad that comes with the sandwich had excellent lemony dressing on it. The man at the register explained the different iced drinks and I chose the iced carrot cake latte with only a quarter of the flavoring-it was so good! And the foam on top comes with delicious little crunchy bits on top. I will be going back!

    Okinawa Cold Foam Matcha
    Kathy X.

    This spot is probably one of the better matcha's I've had in LA, and let me tell you, I've tried A LOT. The matcha is so earthy and smooth, it's not bitter at all. The Okinawa cream top adds a subtle sweetness and kind of caramelized flavor. The cafe is so thoughtfully and minimally designed, with a cute, but small outdoor seating area. Everyone that works there is so nice and attentive. And drinks come out really fast despite the long lines!

    SOOOO good. Their owner is so sweet--when he heard I was a first timer, he gave me a delicious pastry on the house! This coffee shop is really popular, so my friends and I did have to wait a bit before we were able to order. However, it didn't take more than ~20 minutes on a Saturday morning. The vibes in this coffee shop are elite; it gives true LA. There's not a lot of seating, so most people were just standing and chatting with friends. I got their matcha maple, and it was so delicious. The cream/foam top was beautifully infused with maple flavor, and my friends and I were really impressed. They also got other matcha latte drinks, and everyone really enjoyed their caffeine boost of the day! We were blown away by the pastries, and we hadn't eaten anything all day so it really hit. I hope they open a location in Austin because I know they would have a huge following.

    Pastry Case

    I've been going to Malou since this place first popped up in the area. My friend is a big matcha hound and had this place on her short list of matcha cafes to try. We have both collectively loved this place ever since. The quality was IMPECCABLE from day one and now that the place has a bit more renown (lines form as early as 7am sometimes now), the quality hasn't gone down since. I LOVE the decor as well. It's so relaxing and refreshing. Plenty of seating for such a small space as well. Great for catching up with over great drinks and pastries. 1000/10 always.

    carrot cake & butterscotch latte
    Maddie D.

    Coffee was so good, it breaks my heart that I have to give this place a 3 because I really did enjoy the coffee, but it was so pricey. I feel like the standard drinks here like the Chai or vanilla latte or priced pretty standard at $7 but the special drinks like the carrot cake and butterscotch latte were a wee bit on the pricier side. My friend and I wanted to make our trip worth so we decided tk get the carrot cake and butterscotch latte. The carrot cake latte had this cream cheese cream layer which blended so well with the coffee. The coffee itself wasnt too strong. I actually liked how muted the expresso was in the latte because I ironically cannot handle caffeine that well lol. I paid like $8 for this drink and then the oat milk sub bumped it up to around $9.50 which is lowk pricey. There were also not too many seats for studying :( their restroom was really nice though, they had seatwarming toilets which was kinda fire lowk. The workers were also super kind and helped my friend and I decide what to order because we were so indecisive. I would have definitely given this place a 4 but the price is what trips me up

    Was super excited to try the matcha with Okinawa cream foam but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me The matcha felt flat and slightly bitter. I think the Okinawa cream foam was good, it wasn't too sweet, but that itself didn't enhance the drink for me enough to consider it worth the $7. I also noticed that the matcha was premade (not hand whisked) which is -1 star for me. The space itself it soo cute though. I loved the tables and shade outside to sit and the service there is also really good. Everyone was friendly and looked like they enjoyed being there!

    This place is overrated. I can taste that they use average matcha and it's not as creamy as I'd like. The Okinawa foam also didn't do much to the drink. Will not get it again. Service was slightly slow and it's a small coffee shop that has limited seatings for customers. Value: 6/10 Service: 7/10 Atmosphere: 7.5/10 Drinks: 6/10

    Date Cardamon Latte
    Bella S.

    I came here wanting to try specifically 2 items... #1 - Date Cardamon Latte & #2 -mango croissant. I came here 1 hour before their closing time, so they were out of the mango croissant already, which is understandable. I'll have to come by again in the AM to try this. I did get the Date Cardamon latte, which was my 1st time trying the flavor combo. I believe they make their own date syrup in-house. You can certainly taste the date flavor upon the first sip, however, after the 1st sip, I couldn't specifically taste it anymore. The cardamon spice made up the bulk of the flavor. The espresso was not very strong; will try double shot next time. The drink was on the sweeter side from the data syrup. There were also a lot of chunks in my drink, which I am not sure if that's from the cardamon spice or if it's left over coffee grinds. The inside of the coffee shop has a minimalist design. They do have shelves on the sides of the shop where they sell coffee beans, matcha powder, matcha-flavored nuts, Hojicha flavored walnuts (never heard of this, so I picked me up a can of this), coffee grinders, tea cups and miscellaneous shop swags. The coffee beans were reasonably priced (less than $20/bag). They do have seating outside of the coffee shop for you to enjoy your drink, chill, work, hangout & socialize.

Once ordered, you're allowed to sit at the Equinox lounge and they'd bring your order to your table. The menu offered probably not as plentiful as the one in WeHo, but rich enough selections to pick from including many fun smoothies! We went for their Breakfast Burrito with avocado add-ons and loved how perfectly the eggs were cooked and well-complemented by the melted cheese. Instead of regular hash-brown, they used more rosti-alike one which gave extra twist of crispy texture within the burrito. The sausages were my fave being flavorful and served in big satisfying chunks! If you're into pastries like me, definitely no skip on their Pain Suisse. Like seriously just looking at the pic almost made me drooled again, perfect lamination with delightful buttery pastry and rich stuffing. Would certainly order it again and again!

I'm unsure if you need a gym membership to access, but since I was attending a pop up, all they had to do was scan my ID. You have to pay for parking if you use the garage, but the front desk validates parking

ORDER 01. brown butter latte ("BBL"): house-made caramelized butter syrup (containing REAL butter), espresso, & milk 02. gold coast: eggs, beef & potato hash, avocado, pepper jack cheese, scallions, & cilantro crema in a whole wheat wrap i was worried the burrito might be too dry on account of the whole wheat or too greasy because of the hash, but it was neither dry nor greasy! all the ingredients came together beautifully. the burrito felt healthy and satiating, enough to feed two adults! note that this item is only available at the santa monica branch! the "gold coast" is the cafe's take on the california burrito, whereas "the six" is the cafe's take on the standard american breakfast. pick the former if you want something more savory. pick the latter if you want something more sweet. in any case, the hot sauce served on the side is a must!

The flavors sound exciting, but the cosmic cream top lacked both a prominent coffee and ube flavor despite the color, the matcha was quite milky, and the new moon latte did not taste of sesame.

The environment is cute, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and there is only street parking.

They made the drinks but kept them behind the counter without calling the order aloud... finally went to check and found them there - so approach and ask for your drinks. Ordered the Black Sugar Assam - flavor was smooth, it was surprisingly sweet but not overly so (this drink has no sugar level to adjust). Boba were cooked just right and had great chew. I ordered it with less ice as my usual. Also ordered for a friend and didn't realize her drink came without boba so be sure to double check the menu as you order so you get toppings (or not) as you wish. FYI - they have a rewards program, join earn points, and get a birthday drink (discount) too! There's a small seating area inside, quiet music playing, and people working/studying (with a sign to use your indoor voice). Vibe is quiet and chill.

It was clean inside when I went by at 8 PM, not super busy, decent amount of seating/tables. There are a bunch of board games as well so seem like a nice place to drink boba and hang out.

Boba has pretty good texture -- not super mushy/overly soft, decent qq.
