    Matcha Cream Top
    Mary A.

    Located on the second floor, with valet parking in the lot below (though spots are limited). There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, but it fills up quickly, especially with students studying or working. They offer both food and drinks. I ordered the Unsweetened Matcha Cream Top ($7.25), and it was really good! Strong matcha flavor and the cream top was a standout. Staff were nice, and overall it was a solid experience. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    Wow, wow, wow! Excellent drinks, excellent service. Came here for a quick pick-me-up and ordered a matcha cream top and misugaru cream top. Both were hand-crafted with care and looked so pretty...and the taste was as good as they looked! Matcha cream top was solid and had the right balance of sweet and strong matcha flavor. Misugaru was strong in coffee, but also nutty from the black sesame. Highly approve! As mentioned, service was super nice, even offering me a sturdy cup holder to bring the goods home. Cafe itself is located on the second floor of a mall-plaza and is fairly spacious with tons of natural lighting that's perfect for studying or catching up with friends. If I lived closer, I'd be at Mi Cafe every day!

    This place is so cute, I love it. I'm so happy that there's a cafe opened early and doesn't close at 3 PM, so I can study for long periods of time. There is a parking garage here, but it's only 90 min parking and it's relatively small. Mi Cafe is on the second floor and quite spacious overall. There's an outdoor section with plenty of seating, I came during the rainstorm and some tables can't be used, but there's other tables that are usable. The inside has quite a few tables as well. It's pretty spacious and comfortable. The music is a little louder inside, so I'd recommend bring a pair of headphones. I also love the variety of food selection. A lot of cafes I've been studying usually only has pastries and no savory foods. This place has both! I had the vanilla bean latte which is pretty good. Not super sweet. I also had butter salt bread. It's not the softest I've ever had, but the taste is on point.

    chestnut hojicha and double matcha
    Katherine T.

    lots of seating, inside was clean, and the girl taking our order was really nice! my boyfriend and i shared the double matcha and the chestnut hojicha. both were pretty lackluster to us and also on the powdery/grainy side. a bit disappointing since there are so many other cafes around, i was really looking forward to trying it maybe next time we'll try different drinks and their food/pastries. parking is also free so that's a plus!

    Kimchi pasta and avocado toast
    Natalie Y.

    kimchi pasta was creamy, indulgent, and packed with flavor. not too spicy but pretty heavy bc of the cream based sauce. Lots of kimchi pieces incorporated into the dish. It had some pieces of meat but i couldnt tell exactly what. I want to guess bacon? Also pasta had good texture, sort of al dente! packed the rest to-go and ended up eating it for dinner as well. Avocado toast was loaded with avocado. Bread was a bit tough to cut through. My brother said it was "aight" tho. waters are off to the side if you need it! you order at the counter and theyll let you know when the food is ready. then you just bring back the tray when youre finished. very simple. and there are plenty of seats available. like a large amount of seating inside, outside, and upstairs. its really nice and spacious! and not too loud. most ppl seem to be working on their laptops or having small conversations with friends.

    Outdoor patio on 2nd floor.
    Christina C.

    Very good matcha almond milk latte! Smooth, available unsweetened, stevia provided. A little heavy on the ice, but I'm sure they'd do light ice if requested. The covered patio is spacious and wonderful to study, work, or hang out on a warm day. The girl at the register was very nice. Clean restrooms and free valet parking, too!

    Jenny P.

    Terrific study spot! 2-3 floors with plenty of seating with good views and wifi. Not a big fan of my misguru latte as it was quite bitter but I'd come back if I wanted to study in Ktown.

    went to try Mi Cafe for some studying a few days ago! I parked on the street in a residential area as I got a bit confused where the building was lol, so I am not sure if they have a parking garage inside the building. but keep in mind Mi Cafe is a business inside a large building with other businesses. I walked in a really liked the ambiance and set up, the cafe had some indoor seating with a lot of outdoor seating on the patio too. great space for getting work done (bring some noise-canceling headphones though because it does get loud) or chatting with friends. I ordered the misugaru latte since I saw it was voted best misugaru latte in LA !! It was honestly really good. It wasn't too sweet but also wasn't devoid of sweetness in general, it was just right. I finished it way too fast lol!! the employees were nice and my order came out quickly and looked very presentable. if needed, there are two restrooms inside the cafe. I would definitely come back here!!

    chicken quesadilla
    Lauren T.

    There's seating inside & lots of seating outside. There's a parking lot & limited additional parking across the street, but it's always tough to find parking in KTown. They recently revamped their matcha drinks & it's so much better! I also tried their chicken quesadillas & would recommend their food!

    Megan K.

    Great place to do work or hangout with friends!! Service was great, especially when asking questions about their items. Matcha einspanner was really yummy! Good cream to matcha ratio and the einspanner tasted so delicious on its own. Got some sweet treats. My favorite was the chocolate cake (I think it was under mushroom danish). Great chocolate flavor and texture. Salt bread was nice and warm with a good crunch on the outside and butteriness in the inside.

    Breakfast Playe

    They recently updated their menu, and oh my god...I'm pretty sure they changed the formula for their matcha lattes, because this is next level. They now have a drink called the Matcha Cream Top, which is different from their Matcha Einspanner. The key difference: the Matcha Cream Top has a cream layer made with matcha, while the regular einspanner uses regular cold foam. And wow... this drink is so, so good. I usually ask for it less sweet, and honestly, it's easily in my top two matcha drinks in K Town, right up there with Rok & Stagger. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend coming here. Oh, and the breakfast plate was amazing as usual :)

    customer service was good! they were nice and helpful. the ambiance was open, with plants and different seating arrangements. food was sooo good!! i highly recommend coming for a study date

    Heather L.

    I absolutely loved this place! The misugaru latte did not disappoint and neither did the matcha latte with the cream top. There were so many unique items on the menu that I wanted to try so I will most definitely be back! There were a lot of seating and areas to chat with friends, study, or work. Parking was pretty generous but definitely depends on the time you visit.

    I was headed to dinner at the fabulous Holbox, but driving there from Hollywood at rush hour is…read morenever a good idea. So I looked for a coffee spot closer to the restaurant at which I could do some work. Alibi Coffee is only 10-15 minutes from the restaurant, which made it a good candidate--and off I went. It sits on the corner of Washington and Raymond Avenue. While there's one-hour parking on Washington, Raymond seems to offer unlimited parking (other than street cleaning days)--the friendly, helpful barista directed me over there. Inside, it's a tranquil, clean and comfortable environment that mixes contemporary touches with brick industrial vibes. I'm in my cream top era, so I decided to get their Trademark Cream Top Latte, which uses cold brew and house made cream with a hint of brown sugar. The drink was smooth and not too sweet and, all in all, extremely enjoyable. Next time, I might try the Salted Caramel Cream Top Latte. I was warned it was a bit sweeter, but I'd like to see for myself. Wi-Fi seems solid, and there are plenty of outlets (yay!), so this was a great work spot. I'd definitely return anytime I needed to be in this area.

However, I am almost embarrassed to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed Stagger. There was no line, but it makes sense with the fact that we came at 4 pm. After ordering, we were quickly served. Everything from napkins to drink caddies to straws to drink sleeves were self serve, which I appreciated. Not to mention the free stickers! The drinks were on the sweeter side, which is what I prefer, but not too sweet that it drowns out the matcha flavor. The double matcha was topped with a thick layer of sweet cream which balanced nicely with the slight matcha bitterness. The jasmine matcha, which was the seasonal drink, was very jasmine forward and garnished with flowers (I ended up spitting them out; had the texture of disintegrating paper straws). Otherwise, it was one of the better matchas I've had, especially because it didn't make me feel jittery. The vibe was quiet, clean, and minimalistic. The chairs looked straight out of a modern art museum. It's like musical chairs, but the loser still gets a chair, just one without back support. This is my first time visiting a matcha shop in LA, and the bar has been set very high!

Those are always on my inviting side for Cafe Dulce. Their Little Tokyo location is also a great visit experience. They have some tasty breakfast burritos there. Other than that, a great cafe to check out with plenty of college students here minding their business.
