Came on a Friday afternoon, and there weren't too many people. I like the outdoor and indoor seating options, and the interior of the cafe is really cute! I got the Matcha Einspanner, and it was pretty good. It tasted a bit grainy I will say. When I mixed the cream top with the matcha, the flavor was better, but I wouldn't say it's the best matcha I've had before. I would try one of their other drinks if I'm ever in the area again!
I really enjoyed the vibe of this cafe, really cute. The tiramisu donut I got was good and I liked the filling inside of it. The dusting of the top was a little messy but it was to be expected. The matcha here was good too. I liked the foam on top which paired well with it.
This Memorylook cafe is the original location, located in Koreatown. The ambience is modern and minimalist. I love that they have free Tesla charging and free Parking with its own large parking lot, which is like finding gold in busy K town! I got the iced Vienna Einspanner and it was solid stumptown coffee. I loved it. I also got the kimchi fried rice wrap and it was delicious and filling : enough for two meals. This is a good place to work, study and to catch up with friends. There's also a bathroom inside. There's ample seating both inside and outside. All in all, I was very happy with the experience and service was good!
Came here cause I had been here before and liked it, wanted to come back. The space is updated, they also sell eyewear! They also have a photobooth I'd say I'm a matcha connoisseur.. I make my own matcha at home for 2.5 years and go to specialty matcha cafes and can judge a great matcha from a bad one... So I was very disappointed with the matcha here :/ I ordered a matcha latte oat milk.. It was so grainy..gritty..and omg so bitter....acidic as well? the drink came out so quick before I was even done paying!!!!!! So I assume it was premade...and thats why it tasted so bad...? Maybe everyone is getting it with the cream so they don't taste the bitterness and the horrible texture Either way..I was very disappointed..i literally tossed the whole thing. I do not recommend. Maybe their coffees are better ? or they are trying to just sell eyeware? idk.
My friend and I wanted to check out memory look for good coffee and a chance to get pictures at their photo booth! I got their Vanilla Einspanner Latte and friend got their Caramel Einspanner Latte. Both were great but the caramel was much better in my opinion! Also we got hungry but didn't want to eat a whole meal so we split their breakfast wrap and we're pleasantly surprised at how good it was! They also sell glasses at the shop and they were all so cute!!
After dinner last night, we were discussing where to go for a second round, and one of my friends recommended this place. So we decided to come here for coffee or tea and ended up having a really nice time. I used to come here quite often about four years ago. Back then, I really liked their Einspänner and ordered it several times. But the last time I came, I thought it was way too sweet, so I hadn't been back since. It had actually been a REALLY long time since I last visited. And when I used to come here four years ago, I always came in the morning or around lunchtime. Last night was my first time ever coming here at night. My friend told us that they are open until midnight, so that's why we decided to come here after dinner. I had heard that parking here can be a nightmare because there aren't enough parking spaces and people have a hard time finding a spot. But once again, my parking luck was AMAZING! A car pulled out right in front of me just as I arrived, so I was able to park very easily. Another friend arrived later than I did, and she said she couldn't find a parking spot at all. She drove around for quite a while looking for one before finally finding street parking. Last night, we also had some tiramisu, and since I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine, I decided to have a caffeine-free ade instead of coffee or tea. It was a little sweet for my taste, but it was ok. We sat outside on the outdoor patio and talked and talked and talked. We had such a fun time together! However, it was actually pretty cold outside last night. I remember thinking that it felt surprisingly chilly. But what was even crazier was how FREEZING cold it was inside the café! They had the air conditioning turned up so high that both my friends and I felt like we were going to freeze to death. The restroom is inside, and I also went inside to get some water, so I mentioned to one of the male employees that it was freezing inside. He told me that they didn't feel cold at all because they were working, and that THEY were actually feeling really hot. I went back to our table and told my friends what he had said, and they were like, "WHAT?! We're freezing to death over here!" The parking lot here is actually pretty large, so I was wondering why it was so difficult to find a parking spot. Apparently, at night, the left side is the café, while on the right side there is a bar where people can drink and also play games. There was a huge line of people waiting outside the bar last night, so I'm guessing that's probably why the parking lot gets so crowded and it's hard to find a spot. It was also pretty chilly outside last night because of the low temperature, so one thing I wished they had on the outdoor patio was heaters. That would have made sitting outside much more comfortable on a cold night.
We were looking for a place with good iced coffee and enough room to spread out and get some work done. Yelp led us to MEMORYLOOK in K-Town, and it ended up being exactly what we wanted. The pictures don't lie. It's got that clean, modern coffee shop aesthetic, but a few quirky touches keep it from feeling like every other minimalist café. There's a photo booth in the back (which I assume explains the name) and a display of sunglasses that I never quite figured out. Also, no bathroom code. Always appreciated. Neither of us usually orders einspanners, but my wife got the vanilla and I ordered the mocha, both iced with oat milk. They were excellent. Creamy and rich and the coffee underneath was tasty even before mixing in the cream. The pastries looked beautiful and artful, although I was hoping for something simple like an almond croissant. The vibe outside on the patio was great. Lots of people working on laptops, plenty of room to settle in, and it felt more like a co-working space than a typical coffee shop. It's also super dog-friendly, has ample parking in its own lot and we even found easy street parking out front. Everything about this place just worked. We'll gladly make the 25-minute drive again.
I am so disappointed... Memorylook used to be good, but what they served me today was honestly an embarrassment. I ordered a matcha einspanner with oat milk (free, yay), but what I received was an incredibly grainy drink with low quality matcha. I have had this drink multiple times over the years (over delivery too, so I totally expected quality to be better when ordering in person), and I did notice the quality dropping with each order, but I would chalk it up to delivery taking a while. After today's visit, however, I've come to the conclusion that the quality has just dropped significantly, and it's not worth coming here to try their matcha. If you're just looking for a nice space to chill or get some work done, however, this might be the place for you - it seems like a cool place with a bit of seating, plus a photobooth in the back. Service is also fine. Since I only see myself coming for the matcha, I won't be coming back. There are countless better options in K-Town, many of which are just down the street. Adios Memorylook

Happened to be in the area and was so glad we found this spot while ins watch for some good coffee! First impressions, cute spot that was clean. You can't beat a giant lot with free parking in the middle of LA AND they had outdoor seating?! Obsessed. We came around 10:30 on a Sunday morning and was surprised to be one of the few people there. Got some einspanners which were delish. The strawberry donut was the perfect treat to share and omg....the wraps!! When coffee shops have food to order...that's perfection in my book. I had to try the kimchi fried rice wrap and it was definitely a delicious treat. We got the breakfast sausage wrap for the kids and it was just absolutely delish. No plain Jane wraps over here. Very pleasantly surprised and would highly recommend this spot!
Great matcha and coffee! It's a cute location in ktown, with a parking lot. Which if you live here, you know that's RARE! Service is great, there's a lot of seating but more of the time it's full so you may have to wait a little bit for something to open up. A lot of people like to work and study here, so keep that in mind! Other than that, it's a great location and will definitely be back.
I came around 5 pm on a Wednesday and was able to find a seat inside without issue. Parking:5/5 Easy free lot parking out back Ordered : Matcha einspanner 4/5: this was delish, it tasted more of a dessert rather than a matcha bevy. The cream top works nicely with the matcha, the matcha flavor is pretty light Blood Orangeade 1/5: this was honestly not my fav. I didn't end up finishing it, it tasted like syrup+sparkling water. The drinks weren't spectacular, but given the easy parking and tables, I'd prob come back to study
I had a day to spend in LA, and my local friend insisted that I try Memorylook's hojicha einspanner. She let me know that Memorylook is known for einspanners and they have their own parking lot. When there's a parking lot on-site, say less.. Parking wasn't too difficult to come by, and there are even a few electric charging spots if you need it. I stopped by around noontime and there were people inside/outside chatting, working, taking pics in the photobooth, etc. The line went by quickly and I had my hojicha einspanner in no time! It was so tasty!! The cream top was light and not too sweet. The hojicha was smooth. I really enjoyed it, and the latte definitely helped me keep cool while driving around LA on such a hot day. If I lived in LA, I could see myself coming here to do work on my laptop or to meet a friend. Such a cute, spacious spot!
Reviews are generally positive. Many highlight the creamy matcha drinks, variety of pastries and wraps, and modern, welcoming atmosphere with ample parking.

Spacious cafe with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. We came on a Monday afternoon, at around 3pm. The cafe was moderately packed. There was only one person ahead of us, so we didn't have to wait long to place our order. I ordered a Matcha Einspanner. It was creamy and delicious. The sweetness and amount of matcha were perfect for me. I really enjoyed this drink. They have a parking lot, so we didn't have any issues finding parking. They also have a photobooth inside, and they sell their own sunglasses. read more
Drinks: - Matcha Einspanner: Very tasty, i've had it hot and cold, go with the cold einspanner for the best cream top effect - Vienna Einspanner: decent flavor, tasty cream top; however, the matcha is better Ambiance: - WIFI is very spotty! Only sit here if you don't need wifi or plan to hotspot - there are a couple tables indoors and more in the outdoor patio area - There are a number of outlets to charge read more
Memory Look is a spacious and really nice coffee spot. They offer a good variety of drinks and pastries, which makes it easy to find something you'll enjoy. My friend and I found out about this place through Instagram, and after seeing the photos and reviews, we were really tempted to try it. It's a bit of a drive for us, but it was totally worth it. We tried the matcha einspanner and the einspanner latte, and both were high quality and very well balanced. I always recommend letting the baristas know how you like your drink, and they're happy to adjust it for you. The staff was friendly, there's plenty of parking, lots of seating, and even outdoor seating available. Overall, a great coffee spot and one I'd definitely come back to. read more
When you walk in through the front, you see the counter but once you keep walking in the back, there's a photo booth. I think that's super cute. I definitely think that's what made the inside. Really cute. Honestly, the drink tho to me was kind of basic even though it looks really nice it's just very creamy. I couldn't taste the vanilla that I asked for in the latte. I also got the donut and that donut was delicious, but it was also my first time trying a creme brûlée donut so can't say if it was the greatest. Over all, would like to come back and try other drinks. Hopefully they have a better flavor. Service : They took almost 20 to 30 minutes maybe on churros so that's what I didn't really like. read more

This wrap was so good !!! A great place to study or get work done with plenty of seating. The matcha is also yummy ~ S/O to them for FREE SPACIOUS parking read more
Great coffee shop for getting work done! Large outdoor space, decent wi-fi, and there's a parking lot as well. If it's full, street parking right in front is also available. Coffee is good, big fan of their Einspanner lattes! My only feedback is that the facilities can be more maintained, especially the bathrooms and also the tables outside. read more

Super cute, spacious cafe in K-town! My friends and I decided to try Memorylook to start off our morning with caffeine. There was plenty of parking and it was super spacious and empty inside (I was surprised since it was around 10:30 AM on a Saturday morning). There was even a photobooth which my friends and I took advantage of. I ordered the Matcha Einspanner and it was yummy! It was a little sweeter than the matchas I'm used to but I think it's because the cream was towards the sweeter side. They also had pastries to sell and they looked so good but we were going to lunch after so we decided to pass on it. Service was also super quick! Overall, this was a nice cafe and the drinks are good! read more
Let me just say, this is a great place to hang out with friends or go on dates! There's parking in the back, and the patio area is huge and offers plenty of privacy. The staff are friendly, and they make your drinks instantly...I waited about 20 seconds once and it still tasted amazing. I adore this spot. Matcha Einspänner - Perfect amount of sweetness, with a strong matcha flavor and a delicious cream foam on top. One of the better drinks I've had all year. read more
Great study spot! On some days, i drive 30+ min to memory look to a good study session in. The place has plenty of outdoor seating, but the wifi can be super slow and there's not many outlets to charge your device. I usually order their einspanner lattes or matcha einspanner. The drinks are pretty good, but nothing too crazy. Overall, I would definitely recommend trying this place out if you need code on the go or need a place to study. read more
Drink was amazing. We went late at night and they were out of their cake crepes :( I could only order their drinks. Staff was friendly. My drink has heavy matcha flavor which I like and the sweet cream on top taste so amazing. Small shop though, lots of parking but restroom is just okay... read more
Disappointed by the matcha einspanner and matcha latte here. With all the online rave, I was expecting better, but the matcha here was extremely grainy and flavorless. I have also been told by others that they have changed their matcha powder. I liked their Dubai choco cookie tho not worth the price. It's definitely being carried by their minimalistic ambiance and online presence. read more

I went to Memorylook on a Saturday morning, the place gets packed so the earlier the better. Inside there are tables, chairs and photo opp spots. There's an outdoor patio as well. I ordered an iced caramel drink. I liked my drink and it was made fast. They put a delicious cream on top. I think I could have an entire cup of cream with caramel. read more
Memorylook is one of many matcha einspanner spots in Los Angeles. The store not only sells drinks but it is also an eyeglass brand. This is one of more popular shops in Koreatown as the patio area was completely jam-packed. [Parking]: Originally I thought there was no designated parking lot so I parked at the strip mall with Yoshinoya a block away. Later I learned that the designated parking lot entrance for Memorylook is on S Kenmore Ave so yes free parking is available. [Atmosphere]: Really nice patio area with modern feel & great 1st date vibe, but I wouldn't want to step outside of the cafe as there's nothing much to see in this part of the neighborhood. In addition, visitors can take picture at the photobooth as well as try out various glasses they have on display. [Menu]: Matcha einspanner is the best seller follow by Matcha Latte. Apparently they serve donuts from Flour Premium Doughnut from Monday to Saturday and crepe cake on Sunday. For eyewear - two sunglasses or opticals for $75. *** Matcha Eispanner (sweetened matcha latte + cream top - $8): Cream top was quite solid, but I thought matcha was alright and not the best I have had. *** It's a good but not amazing matcha cafe. read more

The green tea had a mild flavor and wasn't particularly strong, but it was still pleasant. The cake was absolutely delicious and made the visit worthwhile. read more

This place is so cool! It has a lot of outdoor seat sith greenary vibes. In this weather, it is perfect cafe to hangout or work! Their matcha Ein su pener is so great. You must try this if you are not a big fan of matcha. It is not to sweet. Inside of the cafe, there are photo booth too. They also kindly have dog treat too :) They listen carefully to custom orders. And they make it seriously. That is why their drinks are so good. I would bring my fam and friend here again. read more
I stopped by looking for a study spot while waiting for my girlfriend, who was attending a concert on a Friday night. The café was decently busy, with many people either studying or hanging out in the outdoor area. It was a bit challenging to find a seat, and outlets were either nonexistent or not obvious, which made working there difficult. I ordered the golden mango matcha. The drink was fine, but nothing about it stood out -- pretty standard and not particularly memorable. Overall, the drink quality was middle-of-the-road. Service wasn't particularly noteworthy. The person at the register seemed mostly uninterested, though I won't hold it against them. It didn't affect my experience too much, but it also didn't add anything positive. Overall, it was an alright visit, but I probably wouldn't return, especially for studying. The space was crowded, seating was limited, and the drinks didn't leave a strong impression. I can see why people might like it for a quick stop or hangout, but it's not ideal if you're looking for a quiet, productive spot or standout beverages. read more

I will have to give props to Memorylook's presentation on their einspanner drinks. Although I thought their Matcha Einspanner was on the milkier side, the cream was delicious! However, I think the real star of the show was the Hojicha Einspanner! I have never seen this version of the drink, so I think if you are going to splurge on an $8+ drink, definitely try their Hojicha Einspanner because of its uniqueness and flavor. Service wasn't too shabby. We went around 7/8pm so it wasn't too busy, and they were able to get our drinks out in just a few minutes. There's even a photobooth inside where you can take pictures! I think everyone should try the Matcha Einspanner once, but in my opinion, it was the Hojicha Einspanner on top. read more

Honestly big fan of this cafe. It's mostly outdoor seating. Theres a huge patio shared with fountain LA. They also have a cute Photo Booth. The drink was good but it's a really good third spot for catching up and working. read more

This cafe has a nice ambiance and free parking! Something that you don't really see in ktown. I visited during the weekday so it wasn't packed. Their photo booth is really cute and easy to use, but you do have to pay $10 which is not bad at all. They have their pastries facing the street entrance to the cafe (not the entrance from the parking lot). I didn't know that they had pastries on display until after I had payed for drinks and had to make line again. Can't imagine how frustrating it can be when it's a bit busy and having to make line again. I ordered a regular matcha latte with oat milk, the color was promising but once I took a sip of it I was disappointed. If you're a person that likes sweet matcha then this is for you. I personally I didn't like it just because it was sweet and grainy. I could see matcha but could not taste it. My sister got an iced vanilla latte and said it was really good! Not too sweet and not bitter either. I would have to go for an iced latte if I ever come back to visit! read more

Pros: cool looking drinks, tasty beverages and overall space was great for remote work or chilling outside to hang out along with a private parking lot Cons: it can get very busy so we waited in line for like 20 min BuT our drinks came out very fast after we ordered. I would def come here again with a friend or someone to hang with but not on my own accord as it was hard for me to get to and busier than I'd like for a wfh spot read more
Stopped by One Memory Look and finally tried their matcha drinks and desserts. I got two of the matcha espressiers and they were amazing; super aromatic, earthy, and smooth without being too bitter. Easily one of the better matcha drinks I've had in a while. Also tried the matcha crepe cake: layer after layer of thin crepes with cream in between, not too sweet and packed with that rich matcha flavor. It was soft, creamy, and just melts in your mouth. Perfect if you want something light but still indulgent. Service was friendly and quick; vibes were clean and calm, definitely one of those spots you can chill at with a dessert and drink. Overall, a really solid sweet treat if you're a matcha lover. read more

popped in after work for a little pick me up, great ambiance, great service no complaints the drink itself was a little in the sweet side, watering down the coffee have to do it justice by trying other drinks read more
I was in the area with friends and decided to give Memorylook a try since I had heard some good reviews about it. They have a free parking lot, which I love, especially since parking in LA is almost always paid. The interior of the cafe is trendy and clean with a modern minimalist vibe. They also have plenty of seating, including an outdoor patio space. I got their Hojicha Einspanner and it was delicious. I requested oat milk, and I love that milk substitutes are offered at no additional cost. The hojicha flavor was good, though I did wish it was a little stronger. I also would've preferred it slightly less sweet, but that was partly my fault for not requesting less sugar. The signature cream top was creamy, thick, and delicious. My friend got a Lychee Jasmine tea and I took a sip of hers and I loved it! It was super refreshing, especially on such a hot day. The only complaint I had was that the cup was filled with ice, even after requesting less ice. This cafe is a great place to hang out with friends or study. When I went, I noticed a decent number of people with laptops, so the Wi-Fi must be good enough. The service was really nice and friendly, and when there were complications in the kitchen with our food order, the staff were very apologetic. I'd definitely like to come back here to try their Matcha Latte, as it was out of stock when I visited. read more
One of my go-to's in Koreatown for several reasons: - Lots of seating outdoors with umbrellas - Comfortable cushions and couches to sit - Free Wi-Fi - Restrooms - Friendly service - Yummy einspanners with decaf and alternative milk options - Cafe food like pastries and sandwiches - Glasses! My favorite drinks would have to be their butterfly pea flower matcha and golden mango matcha with almond milk and easy ice. It truly is the best! However, I do wish they brought back their photobooth :( read more
Memory look in ktown. Been on my list for quite some time. Finally got to try it today. Parking was plentiful today. Service was also great. Einspanner matcha. If you like it a bit sweeter which I do. It is excellent. For sure one of the better ones. Easily top 2-3 einspanner if not my top choice. Quality check. Looks beautiful. Everything about this one was awesome. read more

We got the Vienna iced latte and it didn't disappoint. Definitely on the sweeter side but I love a good cold foam iced latte. We were in the area and wanted to try a new coffee shop and came across this place. It was good! Staff was friendly and no long lines for the weekend. Got dropped off but I think I saw nearby parking read more
(Left to right) Haru Matcha, Vanilla Einspanner, Einspanner Matcha. The cafe itself is very aesthetically pleasing. It gives warehouse vibes with seating outside and umbrellas for shade. It's very simplistic which I like and isn't too overstimulating. For the drinks: Haru matcha has such a unique flavor. Just the look of it intrigued me, it's so pretty. It has butterfly pea foam and I've never heard of that before so I had to give it a try! Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The flavor is like nothing I've ever tried yet there's still that distinct matcha taste. I highly recommend trying it out. Einspanner matcha was very rich and had a deep and creamy flavor. Plus points for this drink because the flavor stays the same despite the ice being melted down. The Vanilla Einspanner was not too sweet and didn't have an overpowering coffee taste. It's a very good go-to iced coffee like a signature Vanilla iced latte. It's classic drink. read more
Always on my journey to discover new matcha spots. Got to make a stop here at Memory Look. I ordered myself the Matcha Einspanner and the Cajun French Fries as a snack. The Matcha Einspanner has this gorgeous green color that I like and it was a pretty strong drink which I also like. The cream top provides a bit of sweetness to it which makes it perfect. It really kept me caffeinated through the night. The French fries were okay it was just something to munch on. In terms of space, very limited seating if you want to study/catch up on some work. Clean aesthetic inside. Many outdoor seatings. Parking can be limited. read more

Matcha review: This place is good, but not my favorite. The flavor of their matcha is mellow, smooth and nutty. Personally I enjoy a bold, deep and earthy taste. So although ML seems to be a crowd pleaser, it's not somewhere I would visit often or go out of my way for. The staff and ambience were great. I liked the amount of indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a parking lot. There wasn't anything bad about this cafe, it's just not for me. read more
Matcha Einspanner (Whole milk, no sugar added). With no sugar added, it was definitely not sweet, but the cream does have a little bit of sweetness to it. The matcha was not that strong. However, the service was good and I love how they have their own parking lot! Don't need to worry about finding a place to park. read more
I love this cafe, located in the heart of Ktown! Plenty of parking at the back, no need to stress over where to park. The baristas are jokesters, they're super friendly and funny! They make great recommendations and they make great descriptions on what each drinks entails. There's indoor and out door seatings. It's a great place to celebrate any occasions day or night. I got their latte and my friends got the matcha! We were all very satisfied! I can come next time! read more

Is there accessible outlets?
Yes!! There were a lot of tables with outlets next to them.

It depends on how busy they are. They run out of things at different times. I would say 10am they probably still do.
Is memory look temp closed right now (may 12)?
It was closed but opened two days ago!
If you order the einspanner with oat milk is the cream on top dairy free as well?
No, it is not. Their einspanner signature drinks carry the cream based dollop on top and is not vegan.
Do you have an alternative milks? Oatmilk, Almonds and SoyMilk?
When I went they had oat milk.
