    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.

    chestnut hojicha latte, mango matcha cream top
    Mandie L.

    I love this cafe I'll definitely be back especially to try their other menu items! staff were friendly and drinks came out pretty quickly. chestnut hojicha latte (4.8/5): this is such a good combo u can taste both the chestnut and hojicha and they compliment each other so well. it wasn't too sweet and not too heavy either. the hojicha was strong and thankfully didn't taste burnt. mango matcha cream top (4.7/5): definitely one of the better mango matchas that i've had. they compliment each other without overpowering the other. the matcha was smooth. not too sweet or heavy as well. seating: plenty of seating inside and outside. they have two full floors for outdoor seating which is perfect for studying. they do have free wifi as well. parking: they do have valet garage parking lot which is free for the first 3 hours if i remember correctly. bathroom: two bathrooms and both were pretty clean.

    I arrived around 5 pm on a weekday and was able to find free parking easily underground! There is a valet, so I'm not sure if there's a time limit. Vibes: there's plentiful of seats and some with outlets. It can get pretty crowded but I had no issues finding a bar seat. Drinks: 5/5 Hojicha latte: the cream top and the Hojicha blends perfectly, I like this more than the matcha Double matcha: the matcha and cream top here is sooo good. The hype is fr. This place has great drinks and is a good place to study!

    On Thursday, April 23rd, I had lunch with my mom at M Cafe. I had the chicken pasta, and my mom had the avocado toast. I've been here several times before, and every time the food has been so delicious. The staff here are also extremely friendly: I tried to open the restroom door using the code, but it didn't work, so I went to the front desk. A female staff member kindly came over and helped open it for me. The restroom was also very clean, which was good. After placing the order, they give you a buzzer that rings when your food is ready, and you pick it up at the counter. When both dishes were ready, my mom was sitting outside on the patio, and I couldn't carry both trays at once. When I said I would come back for the second one, a male staff member kindly brought the other dish outside for me. I really appreciated how kind and helpful they were. However, one downside is that this place is very popular, so the food took about 40 minutes to come out. It was a really long wait. Since I went during lunch, I had to rush through my meal and hurry back to the office once the food finally arrived. cf 1) My mom placed the order while I was in the restroom and didn't ask me, so we ended up getting chicken pasta. If I had ordered, I would have chosen shrimp pasta instead. cf 2) After my mom placed the order, the staff member told her that the food would take about 20 to 40 minutes and asked if that was okay. Since I was in the restroom, she couldn't check with me, so we ended up waiting the full 40 minutes. The female staff member also mentioned to my mom that if we're in a hurry, it's better not to come here during lunch hours because the wait can be quite long. OMG. So I think this is a place that's better to visit on the weekend when you have more time to relax and enjoy the meal. cf 3) One more thing: you can only view the menu on your phone by scanning a QR code. They used to have paper menus last year, but they no longer do, which was a bit disappointing.

    Double matcha late and Misugaru Latte
    Natalie H.

    My new favorite matcha and coffee spot!! This place is awesome. Parking in the street or lot and head up to the second fooor. The space is huge, perfect for catching up with friends or getting work done. I grabbed some salt bread and a scone. The matcha salt bread was 10/10. The matcha scone was 9/10. The double matcha was delicious but what I loved even more was the misugaru latte with cream top! Similar to a black sesame but not as peanut-y. I got it half sweetened and it was perfect! Kind workers, quick service. 10/10 recommend this place.

    Strawberry matcha
    Kristen T.

    The strawberry matcha was good but the strawberry puree wasn't sweet enough imo. The matcha is super creamy and the size is actually decent. The matcha cream top is good but slightly bitter. The strawberry salt bread was good but kinda just tasted like a buttered dinner roll so not sure if worth $6.50. Overall the vibes are nice and it's a solid matcha spot Update: the matcha was too strong and kept me up all night :(

    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!

    matcha x matcha cream top & koi matcha latte
    Louise V.

    i visited M cafe recently, and appreciated the free valet parking, which is super rare in LA. there were multiple seating options inside, outside, and on the floor above. i didn't try any of the food, but there were many options if you are planning on staying at the cafe longer. the service was very quick, even on a busy saturday afternoon. we ordered the matcha cream top and regular matcha latte both with oatmilk. the flavor of the matcha was super strong, which i personally love, and it wasn't too sweet either. i will definitely be coming back to study here!

    While visiting LA, found this matcha place. Overall I enjoyed the matcha. Not too sweet which I like. Great prices and customer services.

    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.

    orange cream Americano
    Salvina L.

    I found my favorite cafe in ktown and it checks so many boxes for me. First, free valet parking for 3 hours with a receipt in an underground, protected garage. Second, large tables for studying/doing work with reliable wifi. Spacious inside and outside and there are multiple floors of seating. Lastly, the drinks are extraordinary. The koi matcha comes with oat milk in the price and is sweet but not too sweet and the matcha is smooth and robust. Texture of the drink is not too thin. Literally how I love my matcha and how I like to make it for myself. The orange cream americano is also sooo good it reminds me of camel coffee but better price for the size and americano version. It's better than most orange coffees in ktown like Van Dyke and is so refreshing. I will definitely be a regular here!! I also love that they have full meal options like burger, pasta etc. Most cafes only have pastries and I end up starving. It also seems like a vibey place to hang out and catch up with friends because it's big enough to find a place with some privacy. So underrated but also don't want it to blow up TOO much so I can still find seating...

    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.

    Strawberry Matcha Cream Top, Chestnut Hojicha Latte, Raspberry Hibiscus

    Loved the drinks and ambiance here! It's rare to find a spacious cafe in LA with validated parking, so this place was a pleasant surprise. My family and I tried the Strawberry Matcha Cream Top, Chestnut Hojicha Latte, and Raspberry Hibiscus. - Strawberry Matcha Cream Top -- So yummy! The matcha was smooth, and the fresh strawberries paired really well with it. - Chestnut Hojicha Latte -- Nutty, roasty, creamy, and not overly sweet or heavy. One of the best hojicha lattes I've had! - Raspberry Hibiscus -- Subtly fruity and refreshing. The staff were friendly, though it can get a bit crowded during busy times. They offer 3-hour validation in a parking structure, but parking can be limited and the spaces are a bit tight. There's seating inside the cafe, along with plenty of outdoor seating on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The outdoor area felt shaded, spacious, and airy. It's a great spot to socialize, study, or get some work done, and the 3rd floor is quieter if you want a calmer spot. I will definitely come back to try more of their drinks and food next time!

Personally, I don't like that style, I was hoping the original would change that for me! Long story short, I didn't like the Walnut Chocolate Chip. I personally just don't like that style still, so I'll chalk it up as a "me" problem. The cooked part was good. The Rocky Road was cooked through.

Based on my memories, this LA location keeps it consistent with a similar taste and texture as the NY location. 3.5/5 Chocolate Chip Walnut: This cookie was tall and slightly undercooked in the middle. The middle was a bit on the squishy side, and crunchy on the outside. Due to the undercooked quality, it's not a cookie I'd get regularly, though I am a big chocolate chip cookie fan. 5/5 Rocky Road: This was delicious. I'm not usually a marshmallow fan, but the addition of this ingredient formed a nice chewy consistency that I expect from a cookie. Chocolatey tidbits were well melted into the cookie texture and produced some fudgey notes. The cookie sizes are large and potentially shareable, and feel like an every once in awhile treat.

They had some various buns with mochi inside, and those were great. Another one of my fave is their mentaiko salt bun. Great flavor, though I wish they would stuff the thing with more mentaiko. Their curry breads are good too. I took my daughter here and she got one with cute emoji drawn on, and she said the custard filling and the bread was tasty as well.

I got a sausage bbang, a chocopie, and a dalgona latte. The sausage bbang was soggy on the bottom and honestly tasted like it was from the day before.

It honestly felt like they used most of the marshmallow for their Dubai choco cookie because it's probably more profitable, instead of properly filling the chocopie. If that's the case, it's better not to sell it at all than serve something like that. The dalgona latte was also disappointing. With ice, the drink only filled to the bottom third line of the cup marking. Clearly, they skimped on the milk. There was also a weird moment when I paid. My total was $15.25 and I paid cash, but I was given $4.75 in change. When I said it should be $5, she seemed confused and asked what I meant. I told her I literally gave you a quarter right now, and she questioned it before eventually giving me the correct change. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a mistake. I understand times are hard, but charging more for products that clearly had corners cut doesn't sit right with me. It just comes across like there's no integrity. Clearly the quality and portions are going downhill. I wasn't even planning on writing this review. I was going to stay quiet, but the chocopie really ticked me off. I'm not going to pay for food that skims on ingredients and shortchanges customers by charging more for less, so this will be my last visit.
