Hey Damo, would it hurt to let your customers know that you only set the lid on top of the drinks? You don't actually snap it down on the drink. Not knowing this I spilled a portion of my latte. When I was in line at nearby Out of Ordi a young lady near me spilled quite a bit of her drink on her hands and clothes. The poor kid was embarrassed. Please do better for your unsuspecting customers. Perhaps simply place the lid next to the drink when presenting it on the counter.

I ordered the Matcha Einspanner and really liked it. The creamy top was nice, the sweetness was perfect, and most importantly the matcha flavor was actually strong. Everything balanced really well together without being overly sweet. Definitely enjoyed my drink and I'll probably be back again soon!

Nice coffee shop in K-Town. There's valet parking available in the shared plaza, though the plaza…read morewas pretty busy when we visited. I really enjoyed the coffee here. Lots of interesting choices. The drinks were well balanced and not overly sweet, so you could actually taste the coffee instead of having it covered up by syrups or other flavors. The coffee itself was smooth, with no harsh or overly bitter aftertaste. I also liked that the flavors complemented the coffee rather than overpowering it. Loved the honey lavender matcha and peanut coffee. The drinks were beautifully presented too, so they looked just as good as they tasted. Overall, a really enjoyable coffee experience and definitely a place I'd come back to try more drinks.

And they are so sweet and do not rush anyone, you can stay here as long as you want. My friends and I WFH so we decided to Work From MemoryLook (WFML) one day together. I'm glad we did! Great pastries in the morning, i had the cremme brûlée donut which had tons of filling, and the pea foam matcha latte which was fantastic. And I had an EXCELLENT chicken Chipotle wrap at lunch that was recommended to me by the gentleman working at memory look. I'm not certain where these wraps are made. Another gentleman would bring them from the building in the same complex. I LOVED my wrap. They have a ton of seating outside too but there aren't any outlets out there so it's harder to WFH out there unless you're fully charged. But was great for separate meetings we all had to attend. The photobooth was fun but we were so thrown off by it taking 8 photos, we had no idea how many poses we would have to come up with hahaha. I would definitely come back here anytime!

This was my second time visiting Memory Look. They have plenty of seating options both indoors and…read moreoutdoors, which is definitely a plus. Parking is also pretty convenient with a good amount of spaces available. When I visited, though, there weren't many desserts on display. For drinks, they don't offer a double matcha option, but you can order a matcha latte with Einspänner cream instead. The drink itself was good, although I found the prices a little higher compared to other matcha spots I've tried. Service was on the slower side, and it took a while for the drinks to come out. The staff were okay, but not particularly friendly. (+) Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, convenient parking (-) Pricier than other matcha spots, slower drink preparation, and no double matcha option

I only waited in line for around 10 minutes before getting to order on a weekend afternoon. I was…read moreimpressed by their various matcha selection, but I ended up trying their classic Matcha Duo, and my friend tried their Earl Grey Matcha. Both were delicious in their own ways, and both were smooth and creamy. The Matcha Duo was sweet, refreshing, and well balanced, while the Early Grey Matcha had a subtle floral note that paired well with the matcha. Neither drink was overly sweet, and I loved this spot for their creative matcha drinks!

Rok Coffee and Tea had been on my list for a while and I finally got to try it during our recent…read morevisit to LA! My son also recommended it, even though he had never actually tried their drinks. LOL. It was one of his friend's favorite cafes so I was really looking forward to going. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the right time to stop by until toward the end of our trip. I'm so glad we finally did though because I'm now in love! Rok instantly became one of my favorite cafes in LA. If I had tried their drinks at the beginning of our trip, I honestly would have gone back every day until we left! They have so many interesting drink combinations. This time, I tried the Earl Grey Matcha Duo. I love both Earl Grey and matcha but I wasn't quite sure how well they would pair together until I took my first sip. OMG, it was sooooo good!!! The balance between the Earl Grey flavor and the matcha was perfect. No wonder they've been recognized as one of the best places for matcha in the U.S. They also use Uji matcha which made me even more excited to try it. Our first visit to Rok was only two days before we left LA and I liked it so much that I had to have it one more time before we went home. On the morning of our flight, we got up a little earlier just so we could stop by and get their drinks before heading to the airport! I got the Earl Grey Matcha Duo again while my husband and son both tried the Lotus Einspanner. My son has never been a coffee drinker so I was surprised that he wanted to try one. I honestly expected him not to finish it but he LOVED it! He did tell us later that the caffeine really got to him, though. LOL. There really isn't a cafe in my area that does matcha drinks well so I was especially happy that I got to enjoy such good matcha during this trip. Rok has definitely become one of my must-go cafes in LA and we'll absolutely be back the next time we visit!

The inside has a good amount of seating both in doors and outdoors so pets are welcome! The two baristas that were there when I went were super chill and quick with making drinks as well. I got the Whipped Honey Latte which was absolutely delicious and the perfect amount of caffeine for me to push through the rest of my work. I sat upstairs in one of the lounge chairs and everyone seemed to be working as well. The view from up top you can see a good amount of the city. Will definitely be coming back here when I'm in the area :)

Stopped by this coffee shop in the heart of Koreatown for a quick coffee pickup. They have valet…read moreparking, but since I was only running in and out, I didn't need to valet. The valet staff were really nice about it. The café has a cool industrial vibe with exposed ceilings, concrete floors, warm lighting, and some unique vintage touches. It definitely has more character than your typical modern coffee shop. They also have a good selection of pastries, cookies, and other baked goods. I ordered an Espresso Tonic and an Iced Americano. The Espresso Tonic was really refreshing and had a nice citrusy kick. I enjoyed the flavor, but the portion was surprisingly small, which was a little disappointing. The staff inside were friendly and nice as well. Overall, I liked the coffee, service, and atmosphere. I'd definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

There's metered street parking before the plaza and free street parking further out if you're lucky + willing to walk! Service was super quick and there's a moderate amount of indoor seating. Double matcha 5/5, my friend got this and we both loved it, creamy but not too creamy to dilute the matcha, not too strong of a matcha but not weak at all, the goldilocks of a double matcha! pumpkin matcha 5/5, sleeper hit???

I keep trying other places to find something closer to me that is just as good but STAGGER is super well known for a reason. They don't need complicated flavors or seasonal drinks to enhance the matcha it just inherently is great. Only thing is the parking situation around it sucks. Only valet or street parking for the most part, and there's never seating because it's always crowded and always a line.

The interior is very simple but beautifully designed, with the wooden tables and that industrial feel that makes you want to sit down and enjoy your coffee. The coffee was really good too! I got an iced latte and loved how smooth and creamy it was. Everything about the experience feels very laid back and effortless. But what I thought was SO interesting is that it's more than just a coffee shop. There's also a hidden clothing store inside where they sell designer pieces, which I definitely wasn't expecting! It almost feels like you're discovering a little secret shop within the coffee shop. Definitely a fun place to stop by if you love good coffee, cool spaces, and finding unique hidden gems!

Service was nice, and I order the standard einspänner (americano with cream top). A bit steep at $8 for 12 oz, but the coffee itself was quite nice and smooth; I found it more pleasant and enjoyable than the one I'd gotten at the Beverly Hills location. My only gripe is that I'd originally wanted a matcha latte with the option to pay extra with cream top, but apparently, it wasn't an option at the DTLA store; I'd been able to order a matcha with cream top at the Silver Lake location, so I guess it differs from store to store. Overall, a decent little pick-me-up to start my day!

I've had their turkey sandwich before and I really enjoyed that one more than the breakfast so that's definitely and underrated choice. This place definitely has good choices and amazing drinks but if you're not willing to wait you can def find other places to go that have similar options. Although, I recommend trying this place at least once if you're visiting LA. The staff are usually super friendly and the drinks come out super quick. They don't really have conversations bc of how long the lines can be so don't expect a long talk through the menu. Overall, I really enjoyed everything and would definitely come back, especially for the matcha! The best time is around 8 am on a weekday!

The matcha was probably my favorite part. It was smooth, not too sweet, and you could actually taste the matcha instead of it just tasting like milk and sugar.

Parking and the crowd can be a little annoying, but I'd definitely come back, especially for the matcha.
