Wanted to call the location to inform them of this disgusting situation but since they don't have a number listed posting it here. Went yesterday to pick up a TGTG surprise bag and I was told the bag had a meat item so as soon as I as I got home I wanted to make sure I took the item out and it was a croissant with asparagus , cheese, some type of meat and MAGGOTS! When I lifted the item out the bag the center fell out (thank goodness) and the maggots were inside of it. I was speechless and completely disgusted! Watch what you order from here. May be a one off situation but will keep me away from this place for sure! read more

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon with a friend. The coffee shop is very cute but on the smaller side with some indoor and outdoor seating. Luckily it wasn't busy so we were able to find seating easily. I ordered the Ca Phe Muoi. The drinks came out fairly quickly and it tasted great! I forgot that Viet coffee is typically stronger, so I was extremelyyyy caffeinated for the day. My friend and I were able to sit and chat for a while and felt very comfortable. The vibes were great and the staff were friendly. Overall, I would definitely recommend and come back again. I want to try some of their pastries!! Parking: Free parking lot above the coffee shop! Always a major plus in LA. read more

Picked up a couple of drinks here, including the matcha latte and the chai tea. Although I was being slightly indecisive when ordering, the barista helped guide me on my decision. She was patient and helpful. My matcha latte was nice, creamy, and strong which I needed. My friend mentioned she liked that she could taste the chai, whereas other places it isn't as strong or fresh. Super quick service since it wasn't busy on a Tuesday afternoon. This place is located in the old French place so the signage outside hasn't been updated yet. There is an upper level parking lot attached to the building accessible on Colonial Ave but plenty of neighborhood street parking as well. read more

We came just for the Vietnamese coffee. Instead of the usual straight sugar flavor I might find in generic cafes, it tasted like the coffee ice cream bars I used to eat a lot as a kid. Very nostalgic! Service was straightforward and simple. The place itself is small and homey. The food looked good but you might wanna come in early to grab a table. read more

Used to be Le Frenchie and I remembered having brunch once there. Some of the brunch menu might still look similar but the drinks were certainly changed now that they featured Vietnamese coffee as their signature. The attendants were so welcoming even the first time we stepped into the door. The indoor section venue was bit too warm but the outdoor seats upfront could always be an alternative. We stopped by for coffee, getting their Saigon coffee and Cream Top Vietnamese Coffee. The Saigon one served great Vietnamese coffee but tad milky for our preference so next time we'd certainly go for just the Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk given Saigon one did add extra milk. The Cream Top got me sold as the airy salty cream couldn't be a better pair to the sweet and bold Vietnamese coffee. Most importantly, size for prize was a win here! read more

Mr. Rivers just opened on February 7th, and they took over what was previously the French place. Great news, they upgraded their coffee program, and now carry Amigo coffee roasters. They kept the same pastries & some of the same breakfast menu items for Wednesday through Sunday from 8am-3pm. They have plenty of parking, both free parking in the lot directly above the building with the ramp access on Colonial Avenue. If that is full, there is also plenty of metered street barking right out front. Since it was still Valentine's Day weekend, I went with their romantic oat milk rose latte and it was delicious. I did less sweet, and I enjoyed the rose syrup as well as the dried rose petals on top. They make the rose syrup themselves but they'll probably keep it for February or longer if it stays popular. They are dog-friendly, with plenty of outdoor seating options and a fresh water bowl. The staff was very helpful with deciding what would be the best thing to order, and I will definitely be back to try their breakfast menu soon. read more

Loved everything about this place! The croissants are delicious (especially loved the ham and cheese, prosciutto, and chocolate). They're dog friendly. The woman working there was also super nice! It was homey. read more

Stopped by for a quick afternoon pick-me-up just before closing. Ordered the ca phe muoi, which was rich, bitter, salty, and sweet all at the same time; it kind of tasted like a liquified tiramisu (in a good way)! Strong caffeine kick to perk me up, too. There's plenty of parking on the upper level of the plaza, as well as street parking in the neighborhood. Worth a go! read more

I've been to Mr Rivers several times since they opened and I'm happy to have a new spot near home that I love. The west side has been lacking a Vietnamese coffee shop for way too long. Mr Rivers has taken over the old location of Frenchie cafe, they still have the old Frenchie sign on the canopy. It's located right across the street from Menotti's Culver City, and has ample street parking. Each time I've been here, I've interacted with welcoming and friendly staff. The drinks are top-tier, and they have regular espresso drinks in addition to traditional Vietnamese coffees with condensed milk, and matcha. I haven't tried any of their food so far, but I sampled some of their ube basque cheesecake over the weekend and it was divine- I'll definitely be back for this sometime. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available here, but the cafe is small. Would highly recommend trying this new coffeeshop. read more

Stopped by on a whim and was pleasantly surprised, such a cute, cozy spot that's easy to miss from the outside. Service was decent; not the most informative, but I appreciated the patience while I decided. The only downside was the lack of sugar free syrup options. I ordered the cloud matcha and enjoyed it overall, solid 7/10. read more

Love Mr. Rivers Coffee! So far I've tried the tiramisu latte: 10/10, the early grey matcha latte, and the matcha coco cloud (also 10/10)! Love the calming vibe of the cafe and the baristas are super friendly. A hidden gem and new favorite here on the West Side. read more

I went to the grand opening of this lovely Vietnamese cafe! I'm happy that there are a lot more Vietnamese cafes expanding in LA because they are so underrated. Service was still fast even though there was a long line. Great quality Vietnamese coffee, and a good selection of pastries to pair with your drink :) read more

I'm glad I got to check them out while I was in town. I think it might be the best coffee that I ever had. I got the salted cream coffee and it was a perfect combination of the strong coffee flavor from the robusta bean and the creaminess of the foam cap. Not to mention when you mix it up, you get the sweetness from the condense milk as well. Highly recommend you order this. While you are at it, you can grab some pastries which were so delicious. They have decent amount of seatings inside and outside. I like the outdoor seatings, especially on a nice day. The staff were very nice. The coffee owner was there when I came and she told me all about their coffee bean sourcing from Vietnam, which was so cool. If you are ever in the area, highly recommend you checking them out. read more

Ordered the ca phe muoi (Vietnamese coffee with salted cream foam) and was not disappointed! Great spot to enjoy Vietnamese coffee

I ordered the Ca Phe Muoi and was super disappointed with the drink. I go to Vietnamese coffee shops sometimes when I want something different than the usual lattes I get from around the area. I ordered the Ca Phe Muoi and was really surprised how it didn't taste sweet at all. Not even a hint of the condensed milk that I usually taste. Usually I'm wishing that it would be a tad less sweeter, but this wasn't even sweet at all. I could taste the coffee, whole milk, and the bit of salt on top, but it was not sweet at all. I asked the person working if this is how it is intended on being served, and she told me yes this was how it was suppose to taste. read more

I walked into Mr. Rivers' Coffee mid-morning on a Thursday, when it wasn't busy, and the atmosphere in the shop was light and airy, streaked with natural light shining through the windows. Small but mighty, there's just the right amount of seating for the small space, featuring both indoor and outdoor tables. I asked the friendly barista for help choosing between the prosciutto / gruyere croissant and the tomato / fennel danish, and was grateful for the recommendation of the prosciutto / gruyere croissant. It was flaky and flavorful and hearty enough to be fulfilling. The cà phê muối is a delicious salted coffee that has the right blend of bitter and a hint of sweet. Great amount of caffeine that kept me alert throughout the morning. read more

This photo doesn't quite do the drink justice, but it is the most unique cold foam I've ever tasted!! It's very rich and almost savory- a must try. I tried it on opening day last week and had my husband pick another one up for me today! The pastries also look amazing and they make them fresh in house. That will be my next try! read more

Really enjoyed my omelete and chai latte I had today. This is a cute little cafe with an inside and outside area to sit and relax. I wasn't able to connect to their wifi. I still had a relaxing time doing other work offline. It felt good to support a local business and minority owned Cafe. read more
