Came here for matcha and will definitely be back! Very creamy and frothy matcha with depth of flavor. They also have delicious gelato! (You get one sample per person to try) Service is speedy and there is minimal seating outside

Matcha Strawberry Parfait
Julia M.

Tried a sample of the matcha gelato while waiting for my order- and WOW- the matcha here is the best I've tried in the city! The Hokkaido Milk Gelato is fantastic as well- though I do think they should have in house cones for the price they charge. Sadly would not recommend the matcha strawberry parfait- looks great in photos and is nice to try once, but I would not order again. Will 1000% come back to try their matcha drinks and for more of their gelato. Service was friendly and great- and the inside of the restaurant is adorable. They will charge $5 for parking so just be aware.

Went here after a late dinner with cousins off a whim because it was close by to the restaurant we had eaten at. Their matcha menu is rather impressive with flavors that enticed us to go in such as the guava and the persimmon which we ordered! I absolutely loved my guava cloud matcha that was from their seasonal menu. My cousins got their gelato and their persimmon matcha. Everything tasted so light and not too sweet which is perfect after a big dinner. I like how they also have stronger matcha levels if you like your matcha on the more rich side. You can order at the kiosk which makes ordering super quick and easy. They got our order ready very soon after ordering. They also allow you to taste test their gelato (one taste test per person). The cafe itself is very pretty with a huge bonsai tree greeting you in the middle. I will say depending on how busy it is it may be hard to get a seat. We were lucky, but we still waited for a seat even after coming in at 10pmish on a Wednesday. One downside is that their parking seemed to be valet only for $5. You can try for street but considering Wilshire and Western is a busy street you might have to cave in for the valet. Overall, amazing matcha, decor and vibe, but might have to wait for seat and valet only.

I went here this morning and ordered a Mango Matcha. The matcha flavor is decent, and the mango flavor is slightly sweet. I did not have the opportunity to sample other flavors, but I may return to try more of the matcha options. For gelato , I find amused that you can only try one favorite which is not big deal ,but it is inconvenient for consumer to choice which gelato they really want to since the try is limited! The downside is that parking is a headache. The parking lot only allows valet parking, which you have to pay extra for in order to get your match. Or you can park on the street! I probably will go back to get other try different favorite matcha.

The matcha was really good! Super rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness. I really enjoyed it! The shop is pretty small and always seems to be busy, so I'd say it's more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to sit and hang out.

Strawberry parfait
Mary N.

This place was super crowded and busy when we dropped by. It was also very hot outside and uncomfortably warm inside. Why aren't they blasting the ac? We got the strawberry parfait and it had some matcha foam at the top so I don't know how the regular matcha drinks and ice cream taste but the parfait sucked. The strawberries were very sour and everything else wasn't very sweet so it tasted unbalanced and bland. Maybe the regular parfait would have been better but the matcha foam still didn't taste like anything? Also, it took a really long time for them to make the parfait. Drinks seem to come out faster so probably skip the parfait. We walked there but if you drive, the parking lot is insane and you won't find parking like every other plaza in Koreatown.

So great beyond my expectations. No wonder why there was a sea of people inside when I visited on a Saturday afternoon. The pink drink in the photo was the guava matcha cloud which completely surprised me with its refreshing taste. Love it! I made the mistake of getting the option 1 matcha gelato, it barely had a matcha flavor.

Cheese matcha
Stella N.

The cheese matcha is phenomenal!!!! Gotta be my fav matcha place in LA. Top 2 and it ain't 2 :-) There is a parking lot with valet, but it's not that big given how much is in the plaza. Service is decent, they need more people making drinks. Order kiosks with a wide variety of drinks. Not much for coffee drinkers!! The gelato is thick and creamy AF. It's pretty loud in here. Wish there were bathrooms. Truly my biggest complaint.

Chocolate gelato
Hannah S.

Wow how yummy! Such high quality matcha and I love how you can try different levels of strength and types of matcha. I got #4 (so pretty strong) and I loved it. If you're a matcha newbie, maybe opt for #1 or #2 ;). B sure to try to chocolate flavor! It's SOOOOOO DECADENT!!! Chocolate lovers dream I look forward to returning to try one of their matcha drinks.

The service here needs serious improvement. 3 workers all with their backs to the customers for minutes at a time and when one finally turns around to see you or another customer waiting, they don't even say anything. I was just trying to get a sample before ordering and that took longer than actually ordering. Then the wait to my order? Nearly 15 minutes for one cup of ice cream. I ordered the Hokkaido and Extra matcha #4 cup, about $9. They advertise this as gelato but it's way too hard and it's more like ice cream, but it's probably due to the freezer and how cold the ice cream is kept. The matcha flavor was bold and had amazing matcha flavor, and it paired so well with the Hokkaido milk. I just wish they had some sort of flight or sampler to get all the matcha flavors.

Jasmine ice cream
Sidney H.

Great late night dessert spot here in K-town. Love the jasmine matcha ice cream and the #3 matcha. I think #4 is a little too strong and gets old after a while (but that's just me).

Sarah H.

Very clean cafe. Matcha was very fresh and smooth. Wide variety of ice cream and with a free samples. Large variety of matcha selection as well

Peggy Q.

I really like this matcha place in ktown! They have both ice cream and drinks. I got the gelato with ultra matcha and jasmine matcha. I really enjoyed both the flavors and they give a good amount. I got the sheep latte which was super cute for pictures. I also got the xtra matcha and it had a really strong matcha flavor. Could be in the bitter side if you like ur matched sweeter so I would reccomend 100% sweetness. I got the lychee coconut matcha as well but I would pass on it since the matcha flavor was overpowered by the lychee. Staff was really busy when I went on a weekend afternoon but service was great still. Parking is a little difficult but there's street parking if ur lucky.

If you're craving a lower calorie dessert option using simple ingredients while still packing a ton…read moreof variety and flavor, Pazzo is the spot. Plenty of sweet, savory, and tart flavors, I particularly enjoy the vegan double dark chocolate chip and the seasonal pumpkin pie. Chic and cozy, great spot to bring a date, catch up with a friend, or just post up with a couple of scoops and do some people watching. Support small business, but especially a place like Pazzo that not only has endured the economic headwinds of the past 20 years in the neighborhood, but also actively gives back to the local community in measurable ways.

Really nice little gelato spot…read more There's free parking behind the building, although during peak hours finding a space can be tough. Otherwise you'll probably end up using paid street parking, if you are lucky The gelato tastes more European-style to me -- creamy, softer flavors, not super sugary like some places. They also have coffee, teas, pastries, and even dog treats, which was kind of cute. I personally like getting coffee with creamy gelato together. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. There's indoor seating plus outdoor tables if you like sitting outside and watching people walk by. Also appreciated that they have vegan options and stay open pretty late compared to similar dessert spots.

This is the best gelato/ ice cream I have ever had! I'm not proud of it but I eat a lot of gelato…read moreand I have tried it all over the world. There have been many amazing places, Bayou in France was first in line for me until I tried the gelato here. My husband still argues that the gelato in Bayou is the best in the world but I can see it in his eyes that this is a close second for him. You know it's good when you take your first bite and what follows is complete silence. Not a word spoken, not a thought crosses your mind except for, "this is the most incredible thing I have ever tasted". This gelato is the most enjoyable form of meditation you will ever practice. There are no thoughts, only the present moment of the flavors and texture of the gelato of ecco un poco. This gelato is out of this world amazing. Served by a sweet couple in a cute little colorful shop, who have poured their heart into the flavors of Italy into this gelato. Try it and see for yourself.

You get 3 samples, which was great for trying a few flavors. I ended up getting the Bronte pistachio, which had such a soft, creamy texture and a rich, nutty pistachio flavor. There were also two corgis hanging out in the back, which was such a fun surprise! Street parking only, but definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area!

We've become big fans of Bacio di Latte after visiting their locations in Brentwood, Topanga…read moreVillage, and Calabasas. One thing we really appreciate is that they make their gelato fresh on-site every day, and you can definitely taste the difference. The texture is incredibly smooth and creamy, and the flavors are rich (sometimes overly sweet for me). They have a great selection, so there's always something new to try, including seasonal flavors that keep things interesting. Our favorites so far are the Giandujotto, which has that amazing combination of hazelnut and chocolate, and the Tiramisu, which tastes just like the classic Italian dessert in gelato form. Both are absolutely delicious, and we keep coming back to them even though there are so many other tempting options. Their affogato is also fantastic. There's something about pouring espresso over that creamy gelato that makes for such a great treat, especially if you're a coffee lover. Another thing that stands out is how consistently good the experience has been at all three locations. The shops are always spotless, the staff is friendly and attentive, and service is surprisingly quick even when there's a line, which seems to happen quite often given how popular these places are. Each location has a nice, welcoming atmosphere, and it's always a pleasure stopping by. Bacio di Latte has easily become one of our favorite spots for gelato.

Every flavor was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. We both loved our choices and will definitely be back to try more. The service was top notch. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and happy to let us sample a few flavors before we decided, which made the experience even better. The shop was spotless and well organized. Besides their amazing gelato, they also sell gelato by the pint if you want to take some home. I also noticed they had brownies, pies, and cookies available, which all looked delicious. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality gelato with excellent customer service, Bacio di Latte is definitely worth a visit!
