Motiq - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Motiq cafe itself is a really nice space, and I enjoyed the drinks. Unfortunately, during my visit, I found my interaction with staff unfriendly and dismissive, which took away from an otherwise nice cafe experience. After I posted a previous review, a manager called me and asked me to remove it which was so weird like they were trying to cover it up. Overall I hope the customer service experience here improves read more

Best Cafe for studying! I cannot believe there is 2 floors dedicating for studying. One in the main room, the outside/patio itself, another one inside on the opposite side of the cafe that has more tables inside, & one on the 3rd floor (roof top). PLENTY of tables, but you won't have trouble finding an outlet; however still have your laptop charged just in case. Music in the inside is perfect for those who can't focus w/ the chatter & high energy outside. Matcha & Coffee is great! Free valet parking w/purchase! Get your studying done here read more

Loved this place! First time I've ever been to a cafe with FREE VALET PARKING. Free valet parking anywhere actually. The outdoor seating was extremely spacious and clean. There was a long line to order but everything was ready pretty fast. I had the Kyoto Matcha, Kimchi Pasta, Grapefruit Tonic and Breakfast Burrito. Kyoto Matcha: Not too creamy, not too strong. Perfect in my opinion. Also not on the sweet side, which I prefer. Kimchi Pasta: Was very flavorful and spicy with the sprinkle of chili flakes on top. First time I've also had a Kimchi Pasta that wasn't so oily. Grapefruit Tonic: Refreshing and light, not too sweet. Breakfast Burrito: Regular breakfast burrito but the tortilla was toasted nicely. The green sauce was also really refreshing. Overall, I loved everything about this place. I would definitely come back. Such a nice location, ambiance, space with good food and drinks. read more

One of the BEST matcha I've tried !! I've heard a lot of great reviews and Motiq being highly ranked on social media, and I have to say they are so deserving of the high ratings. I ordered the Koi Matcha latte which was perfectly sweetened, the earthiness was strong and tasteful, and I picked up some umami notes, making it very balanced. I was watching them craft the drinks at the front and they manually hand whisk the matcha per drink! I can tell they really care about the craft and quality of their menu items, and staff is super friendly. I also wanted a space with seating to study, so this place offered just what I was looking for. The entire second floor (where the cafe is located) is filled with tables, so finding a seat isn't an issue! There's a lot on the menu, so I want to come back and try the coffee lattes and Hojicha! Parking could be hit or miss. I ended up getting street parking, but they usually have free underground parking below the plaza with receipt validation (it was full when I got there). read more

Motiq - Matcha X Matcha Cream Top and Motiq Cream Top - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Heard great things about their matcha and it lives up to the hype! Came on a weekday afternoon and it was still pretty bustling. Short wait to order and for the drinks. There's tons of indoor and outdoor seating, seems like a nice place to study and work. We parked in the attached parking lot; they said it was free valet but we just parked ourselves. I got the matcha x matcha cream top, and WOW! Super strong and rich, perfectly sweet, and not watery. Great size for the price. My sister got the Motiq cream top and I'm not a coffee person, but it was strong and the cream top was yummy. I would come back for the double matcha or to try their mango matcha! read more

What we got: - coconut matcha: 10/10 honestly the best coconut matcha that I've had so far. They use really good coconut water (tastes like harmless harvest) and the matcha cream itself mixes well - banana cream matcha 9/10: also very good. They use puréed banana so the flavor is subtle and you get small chunks of banana in the drink. I love that the matcha is still very strong and barely sweet at all at 50% sweet. - breakfast burrito: loves the sauces and pickle side - French toast: this one was just ok to me nothing special This may be my favorite matcha spot so far in ktown! I usually don't like going out for matcha because I'm usually disappointed but not this time :) read more

Motiq has plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, which is a big plus. I stopped by during lunchtime and it was pretty busy, with quite a few people waiting for their drinks, but my matcha came out surprisingly fast. I ordered the matcha unsweetened, and it was still smooth and enjoyable without being too bitter. Overall, a nice spot with a spacious setup and quick service even during the lunch rush! read more

Phenomenal kimchi carbonara pasta guys. Rich creamy carbonara drenched with deeply fermented kimchi. Most kimchi pastas don't add enough kimchi to give it the Korean flavor, but this one was on point! It was a pretty large serving and enough to fill us both. Absolutely Incredible! Avocado toast was good. Standard avocado spread with cherry tomato and over easy egg. Seasoned with light herbs that gave it the perfect touch. Cilantro non-enthusiast beware (percentages of Koreans especially). Chicken noodle soup with just ok. Would pass in this one The matcha was also delicious. The coconut matcha was very refreshing. Slurped it down fast. The matcha x matcha cream top was flavorful very thick and creamy. Nothing stellar but overall the matcha was good. Hojicha latte with chestnut cream too superb. Love the aroma of Hojicha. read more

Came here in need of some caffeine and was pleasantly surprised! One of the best things was the parking structure. Parking can be tough in K-Town, so having that available was a huge plus. The cafe is located in a building with other food and dessert spots, which makes it a fun place to visit. It was pretty busy when I stopped by, and a lot of people were studying or working. The indoor seating was packed, but there was plenty of outdoor seating with lots of tables and fans to keep everyone comfortable. The outdoor area also has a great view of the streets and the energy of K-Town. The menu had a lot of options for both drinks and food. It looked like a great spot to grab a quick lunch or enjoy a coffee break. I ordered the iced Koi Matcha Latte, and it was delicious! Smooth, refreshing, and exactly what I was craving. I'll definitely be back to try more of their matcha drinks and food items read more

Motiq came highly recommended as a matcha spot in Ktown, and I can absolutely see why! So good, and the matcha itself was so delicious -- you can really taste the quality. For context: my friend was visiting LA with me and it was her first time in the city, so we spent the weekend doing a full matcha tour and hit a bunch of places. Motiq was the only one that impressed her enough that she said she wanted to go back before we even left. That says everything, honestly. Highly recommend if you're in the area and you actually care about your matcha! read more

Motiq - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is pretty cool~ So spacious! Went on a weekday after 5, parking can be difficult but I found a parking spot. Parking was free. I ordered the Motiq cream top and the amount of coffee and cream was just right, not too sweet, and not too creamy. I really enjoyed it. I also got the Garlic Butter Chicken Sandwich. It was tasty! The chicken was well cooked and the cheese it came with was nice and melty~ the plate comes with a salad as well and it was delicious! The service was great, the staff were very helpful and recommended the stuff I got, and they were delicious. This spot is perfect for studying, working, hangout, even groups! It's so spacious, there's also more seats up to the rooftop! Will definitely recommend this! 10/10 read more

If you're in downtown HIT UP THIS COFFEE SHOP!! Perfect study environment along with a delicious lunch menu & 5-star drinks. Let's start with the Matcha.. ~ Coconut Water Matcha 10/10 : It was sooooo delicious. They know exactly how to ratio the water to matcha foam so that you get the taste of both. I'm becoming more & more of a fan of coconut matchas. ~ Banana Matcha 8/10 : Still super yummy, but the banana artificial flavoring is just a teeny bit too strong for my liking. Still a great drink to try if you like sweet n creamy matchas. ~ For lunch I grabbed the Turkey Sandwich. It was simply amazing. I could only finish half my sandwich, as it was just so filling. They use high quality bread & provolone cheese with a thick layer of turkey slices inside. Every ingredient is of quality. I'll certainly be back for more lunch items. read more

I don't think I'd ever come here if I wasn't 1) already in the area and 2) my friend didn't highly recommend it. I'm pretty adverse to going to coffee shops in LA, especially Koreatown, as trying to find parking and not pay ridiculous prices makes me want to jump out of a window. This place is like on a 2nd or 3rd floor if a building which is interesting. There's an outdoor patio area which was pretty busy, a lot of people on their laptops doing work. It's fine because there is usable wifi, but not a lot of outlets which is no bueno. But we managed to find a spot and made it work. The drink itself was decent. I got the mango matcha, which tastes exactly like a mango matcha. Nothing mind-blowing, but definitely not bad at all. But definitely not worth the $7.50 price tag (LA prices, ugh) and an extra $0.75 for oat milk, so my total was $8.25 for this small drink. Taste wise, it was fine. But price and experience wise, I don't think it was worth it, and I don't think I'd come back unless my friends wanted to come back. The fried rice my friend ordered smelled good, but we'll see if I come back to try it. Would recommend you try it out for yourself, as I say with all my reviews. You may love actually love this place, so don't let my review discourage you. read more

Motiq - Outside patio - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

On Monday evening, August 3rd, some of my relatives came from Korea, so after having a family dinner together at Seogwan Myeonok, we went to Motiq Coffee to have some coffee and tea. I've been going to this coffee shop often since it was still called Mi Cafe. They recently completely remodeled the place, so the exterior looks quite different now. First of all, they used to have really comfortable sofas in the outdoor patio area, but all of the sofas are gone now. They only have metal tables and chairs, which I didn't really like. Also, the indoor space used to have the doors firmly closed, but this time the doors were open, so we went inside to take a look. It seemed like that area wasn't completely open yet, but there were metal tables and chairs there as well. So we went in, sat down, and spent quite a long time (Maybe one hour?) chatting over coffee and tea. Then, at 10 p.m., a security guard came and told us that they close the doors at 10 and that we needed to leave, so we left. But even after we got outside, the security guard in the parking lot kept hurrying us along, telling us to leave quickly because it was already past closing time. I really didn't like that. Honestly, I really miss the cozy and comfortable sofas they used to have. read more

Really enjoyed my experience here. Lots of seating available inside and outside with outlets to charge devices. They have two wi-fi options. I particularly liked being able to pick between a couch and standard seats to relax in. The food options are great too! I got the breakfast burrito which was a bit small but tasty. I really enjoyed the coffee! Overall I'd come back for sure. I also tried the red velvet cheesecake. Very rich and yummy. read more

Not even exaggerating when I say this is the best cafe in all aspects: matcha, coffee, food, outlets, tables, and FREE VALET PARKING! This place is always packed, their matcha is some of the highest quality I've had in the US, and their coffee is strong as well. The kimchi carbonara pasta is the perfect fusion dish and their coffee burrito is actually better than Wake LA's. Love that they have covered outdoor seatings with fans and mists for the summer and heatwave! read more

Everything was fantastic!!!! This is a new spot. read more

Honestly, Motiq in K-town is a pretty solid addition to the neighborhood, especially if you need a spacious spot to park with a laptop and actually get some work done. They have a massive setup with plenty of room both inside and outside. They do have some parking, but I just grabbed a spot on the street to keep it simple. Space-wise, it's great, but the food and drinks were a bit of a mixed bag for me. I ordered the mango matcha and the Japanese salt bread. The matcha quality itself is clearly high, but the mango layer just did not want to mix into the drink at all without a ton of aggressive stirring. The salt bread wasn't quite as soft as I wanted it to be either, though that bright green cream they pipe down the middle looks great. Next time I'd probably just skip the fruit combos entirely and stick to a straight-up matcha latte if you really want to taste the good tea. Still a nice spot to hang out though. read more

~4.5/5 Overall a very solid cafe with limited but amazing breakfast/brunch food, plentiful seating with WiFi and outlets, and solid matcha. Cafe is really busy around peak hours (we went Friday 2-5pm) and the WiFi has very limited bandwidth and won't work if there's a lot of people. You need to use hotspot if it's busy so plan accordingly. Don't sleep on the food here. I came here because I saw a tiktok on the breakfast burrito and they were not lying about how good it was, paired with 3 different sauces (Chipotle was the best). We also got the kimchi carbonara and it was super creamy and rich, and crazy good. It did take a while to come out though. The double matcha is pretty good, not my favorite in ktown. I liked the matcha cream top but the matcha latte is on the milkier side once mixed. Cafe workers are kind, and offered to lower the shades once it got super sunny. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

Loved the koi matcha, as someone who is very picky with matcha drinks. They are open late (8am-10pm)! So much indoor/outdoor seating across two floors and free valet parking downstairs. Recently upgraded their matcha powder and rebranded from mi cafe. Wifi sadly does not work so my friend and I had to use our hotspots. read more

Was excited to check out Motiq Cafe after their rebranding! I stopped by on a Friday afternoon, and the cafe was busy with people working or hanging out with friends. There's an indoor seating area along with a spacious patio with plenty of outdoor seating. Parking was also easy - there's free valet in the underground garage, which makes visiting super convenient. I ordered the matcha with matcha cream top, less sweet, and absolutely loved it. The drink was so smooth and the matcha flavor was rich. It definitely is very comparable to the other popular double matcha drinks in Ktown. Overall, this is a great spot in Ktown, and I'll definitely be back to try more! read more

Motiq - Matcha latte with matcha cream top - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The only downside here is the parking, which can be pretty limited, especially on weekends. Once you're inside though, the space is huge. There's plenty of indoor seating along with a large shared patio for the plaza, so it's easy to find a place to sit. This is a great spot to get work done. There are outlets everywhere, free wifi, and the staff provided awesome service throughout my visit. I tried the black sesame latte, which was absolutely outstanding, and the burger was surprisingly really good too. It's not often you find a place that does both coffee and food this well. Overall, it's a great place to be productive for a few hours while enjoying a good meal and coffee. Just be sure to plan ahead for parking if you're visiting on a busy weekend. read more

Great matcha/coffee spot in Ktown that's great for working/studying from! To drink, I got the double matcha and it was pretty good and smooth. Good matcha volume with some dry notes, but not a deal breaker. The matcha cream top was also creamy and smooth. The drink was the perfect amount of sweetness. I'd still prefer Stagger's and Rok's double matcha over this, but this was still great. The interior and exterior are spacious with plenty of seats, tables, and outlets. There's also free Wifi available. I came on a Sunday noon and it was pretty busy, but I was able to get a good spot since I came early around 9:30am. During peak hours, you may have to wait some time like around 15-20 minutes for your order to be ready due to the popularity of this cafe. They also have free covered parking, bathrooms, and food besides pastries. You can honestly spend a good amount of time here! I would definitely recommend this spot and would come back. read more

Omg, they changed their name from Mi Café to Motiq, but the drinks are just as good as I remember :) I highly, highly recommend the double matcha latte and the matcha strawberry latte, which is still my personal favorite. The quality has remained consistent, and the drinks are just as delicious as ever. They've also updated the layout and overall vibe of the café. It feels much more chic and modern now, replacing the cozy sofas and couches they used to have. While I do miss some of the comfy seating, the refreshed aesthetic is cute and inviting in its own way. As always, service is quick and efficient. The only downside is that it's definitely more crowded these days now that the café has gone viral. Still, the drinks are worth the visit, and I'll continue coming back whenever I'm craving a good matcha fix. read more

Such a charming little café with a really welcoming atmosphere. It felt cozy from the moment I walked in.. though was a little confusing as it was on the second level and I had walked in from the street. And the service was kind throughout my short takeout visit. They accidentally gave me the wrong order, but mistakes happen, and it didn't take away from the overall experience. As soon as I got home I called to hopefully help the other person that would have been affected- and they were truly the nicest about the whole thing! So while I didn't get the Italian sandwich I ordered/wanted, I did get a delicious breakfast burrito instead. You can tell they put care into what they serve. The space itself is the kind of place you want to make plans to be for a long while. Great airy and breezy deck with plenty of plants and a robust WiFi. I'd definitely come back and give them another try! read more

Motiq - Breakfast burrito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The drinks here are among some of the best I've had in K-Town. My personal favorite is the Misugaru it's flavorful, well-balanced, and clearly made with attention to detail. You can really tell that care goes into preparing each drink. My only critique is the amount of ice. Like many places, they tend to add quite a bit, which can take away from the actual drink. Given the price, I'd much rather have more of the beverage itself than a cup filled with ice. That said, the drinks are still excellent, and the Misugaru is definitely one I'd recommend trying! read more

Motiq - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I recently tried almost everything on the menu at Motiq Cafe and I can honestly say I was blown away by nearly every single item. It's rare to find a place where so many dishes are consistently delicious, but they absolutely delivered! The sandwiches were all fantastic..mainly because the bread was incredibly soft without being soggy and every ingredient tasted fresh and high quality. The two standout dishes for me were the Fettuccine Alfredo and the Kimchi Pasta. As someone who is very picky about Alfredo, this was one of the best I've had in a long time!!!! So many restaurants make Alfredo that's either bland, overly cheesy, too heavy, or dry. They somehow found the perfect balance. It was creamy, flavorful, rich, and satisfying without feeling overwhelming. The Kimchi Pasta was another surprise favorite. It's one of those dishes that's hard to describe so you really just have to try it for yourself. The flavors were unique, addictive, and unlike anything I've had. If I had to pick a least favorite item, it would be the burger. The ingredients were clearly fresh and well-prepared, but compared to everything else on the menu, it felt a little bland and forgettable. There wasn't a signature sauce or unique element that made it stand out, so it ended up feeling pretty average. Drinks were all really good as well. Matcha was high quality, the mango matcha took me by surprise. I usually don't like mango drinks because it's sour and just doesn't match well with the matcha but this tasted like fresh Korean mangos and for sure had real mango at the bottom. read more

on 08/17/26, we came to try out motiq. parking is OK, there's valet if needed, but finding street parking on a weekday during noontime is easy. the line to order moves fast. with seating inside and outside. after 15 minutes of waiting for the drinks, we asked them what's with the hold up, they said they had to hand mix the hojicha/matcha due to our modifications (the hojicha with less sweet and the matcha with oat milk and less sweet). from where we stood by the wall, we can see them making everyone else's drinks, while our cups are not ready, are only filled with ice and milk, and the sides were sweating from all the condensation. the girl in the red shirt also messed up the hojicha/matcha part and like okay, that's fine, try again, but why was she laughing and taking her sweet time with no sense of urgency ? some of these employees need to gain some common sense, work on their customer service, and learn to prioritize tasks. it doesn't make sense to put off mixing the hojicha/matcha. while off to the side, the cup of ice is melting into the milk. and since they so wanted to put off our order, why not prepare the cup of ice milk last ? right before the hojicha/matcha pour ? we just stood and watched it melt. as expected, the first sip is watered down, and tasted absolutely disgusting. we drank a couple sips and tossed the rest. also, you can clearly taste the oat milk in both cups. only one cup asked for that modification. what if one of us had allergies ? anyways, for ONLY two drinks with reasonable modifications ... tell me why it took 30 minutes total. there's so many other spots in ktown that serve even better drinks, so save yourself the headache and go elsewhere. read more

Great spot for tons of open seating, good food and coffee! The parking is valet as well, which is free and convenient. The only downfall was that we waited an hour for an avocado toast that was forgotten! We did come in multiple times but they reassured us that once the buzzer went off it would be ready. After a ton of patience, we had to eventually communicate that we think our order was forgotten. Other than that, I recommend the strawberry matcha, the Misugaru latte, and Steve's bolognese from here! It was a delicious meal and pairing with the drinks! So glad to try Motiq and check that off my cafe list! read more
