I love the matchas here. They are thick, creamy, perfectly balanced, and the flavor options are fun and interesting. I wish there was an option for a bigger size, as i am finished with my drink in under 10 minutes usually. The cafe itself is what brings down the rating for me, because it's not somewhere I want to sit and enjoy my drink. Service is also good.
Everyone always says the best things about Rok, so maybe I came in with my expectations too high. The matcha was a solid matcha, but nothing out of this world. We tried the classic cream top and their special dot cake matcha. I surprisingly liked their dot cake matcha better, the cookie butter added a nice texture, and I enjoyed the spice of the cookie butter paired with the earthy matcha. Definitely indulgent and more of a dessert than a drink.
Super good and solid matcha spot! I'll say that on the day we went, I think they made the purée a little too strong and sweet, so my drink came out overbearingly sweet. But I've had it before and thought the matcha really shone through then, so I'm chalking it up to an off pour rather than a pattern. They have a lot of different options on the menu, but the fruit purée + matcha lattes will always be my favorite here. When they're balanced right, they're so good. Would definitely keep coming back!
Wowza! Stumbled upon this gem while I was on my way walking to another coffee shop then decided to just stop here lol! I was craving coffee but I could not resist and decided to get a matcha. At first I was going to get the Black Sesame but I had to get the matcha since that's what this spot is most known for and wow! Honestly, best matcha I've had! I'm not a big matcha person but lately I've been having them like nonstop and still didn't see the hype but after trying the matcha here, yup! If matcha tasted like this all the time I'd be a matcha lover for sure. I'll def be drinking more and found the spot to go to! The matcha duo was creamy but not too sweet and had taste all the way until the end. And the presentation of the matcha was so clean. Ambiance was clean too with this minimalist vibe yet plenty of seating to do work and not that crowded or loud. It also seems like they have a great selection of pastries so will be trying one of those soon! I do want to try their coffee though so next time I might get the black sesame. Seems like there's only street parking on Ventura and the residential area unless there's some garage parking that's part of the building. Never heard of this spot so I'm so happy I found my go-to matcha spot!
Came back to Rok and this time tried the Lotus Einspanner with oat milk! I already covered the matcha last visit so I'll focus on the coffee this time. Honestly, it was so good. Not overly sweet at all, and the biscoff crumbs on top were such a nice touch. I'm also a huge fan of their cream top, it's just done really well. My only complaint carries over from last time though: oat milk still makes the consistency too thick, same issue I had with the matcha duo. If they can find an oat milk that doesn't do that, these drinks are an easy 5/5. For now, a solid 4/5 on the coffee. Love the vibe here and will keep coming back! If this review helped, a thumbs up is always appreciated
I ordered the matcha duo, it was quite delicious. The matcha flavor was strong and the sweet cream really balanced the drink. Service was good as well. The ambiance however was a little off putting, it's difficult to relax and enjoy your drink when every 5 minutes all you hear is "line forms outside, please step outside for the line" and then again "please keep the doors closed"
I stopped by Rok again and it was just as busy as ever, maybe even more so. This time I went with their chestnut latte but I had to get it without the cream top as I'm dairy-free. My bf got the sparkling yuzu matcha. My latte was okay but the chestnut flavor was too subtle. I wonder if the cream top makes the difference. It tasted like any other latte but nothing special, which was a bummer given the high price. My bf loved the sparkling matcha and I tried it and it was actually insanely good. Very bright and refreshing and perfect for summer.
The mango matcha duo is ! The matcha with whole milk is the right kind of creamy and fluid without being too thick. The thick matcha cream on top is thiccc with 3 c's and heavenly! It makes the drink! They even have cute rectangular cubed ice that is unique. Once I stirred up the mango, it added the perfect amount of sweetness and fruitiness to the matcha without overpowering or disappearing into it. I came as soon as they opened at 8am on a Saturday and there was luckily no line. I hung out there for about an hour and still no long line formed. I was happy because I read people would often wait 45 mins in line to order. I got to enjoy my drink without waiting. There is metered parking surrounding the coffee shop. On Ventura Ct off of Laurelgrove Ave and Ventura Blvd, it's 2 hr parking with no meter!
Cute matcha shop that opened recently in the area! Plenty of seating inside and the place has a good vibe to it. I love the stone seating wrapped around the plant. There's also a cute photo machine by the entrance. Hojicha latte: Was super sweet (sweeter than my dessert!). I had to go home and dilute it with more milk but otherwise flavor was good. 5/10 vanilla dot cake: Yum!!! A good basic dessert made well. I loved the crunch of the dot sprinkles 10/10
Came around 10AM on a Tuesday and luckily there was no line! I got the Black Sesame Latte ($8). The coffee was pretty good and I liked that it wasn't too sweet, but I wish the black sesame flavor was stronger. I mostly noticed the texture from the sesame bits rather than the flavor itself. The space is open and clean with some seating. Parking can be a little tricky, but I found metered street parking, and there's also a parking garage nearby. Not a bad spot! I'd come back to see if their matcha is just as consistent.
Omg so yum! This is actually one of my top matchas! I had the Mango Matcha Duo drink and it was splendid. The matcha cream too was so creamy and the mango balance was perfect. The care put into this drink was noticed and enjoyed. The facility is also really nice. I went on a Thursday afternoon and there was indoor and outdoor seating available! There's also a ton of options in the menu. There's matcha, espresso, hojicha, and cute desserts. As a self proclaimed matcha connoisseur, I would recommend!
Another new spot to try for the Coffee Queen. Been wanting to check it out...Very trendy - *Make sure to wear your baggy sweat pants and fitted crop top though...it seems to be the fashion here...LOL! This space has been the home a few other businesses but this one seems to be making a splash in Studio City. The line has a steady flow of customers. The menu includes coffee, matcha and teas as well as pastries. The inside is spacious, very clean with plenty of places to sit along with tables outside as well. Once you order your drinks they ask for a name and call you when they are ready. The staff did not impress me...not unfriendly but not warm and welcoming either... One Size Cup DOES NOT FIT ALL- they don't offer larger sizes which is a bummer to this coffee queen. I ordered the "Lotus Einspanner." It was okay. Not as good as RE: Coffee, just sayin...My friend ordered a fruit ice tea which she was not ranting about either...A few sips and we were both done... *Street parking *Paid lot behind the complex for all the businesses here Will I be back you may ask...Not any time soon... ~ and that's all I have to say about that...
We found this cute little coffee shop in Ventura, the place was very clean and the line was long so it's quite a popular spot. I tried the matcha duo which was very rich and creamy, my friend had the Earl Grey cafe duo which was very rich and creamy as well. Had a little hint of salt which made it delicious. I would date both drinks 8/10. We ordered 2 pastries as well, the mushroom was delicious and fresh 9/10 I don't remember the name of the other pastry but it was a little on the sweet side but still delicious 7/10 Overall I would give this place a 7.5/10 must try!
Sooooooo good. I love thick and creamy matchas! Their matcha flavor is really strong and does not taste watered down at all - look at the color. Pretty quick at making drinks. There wasn't much of a line if you go earlier in the morning. I went two days in a row because it was so good. I ordered the classic matcha duo which I liked and it was not too sweet. My friend liked her black sesame matcha as well. The next day we both ordered the coconut mango matcha and that was really good as well. Super refreshing and light since it was made with coconut water! My boyfriend got the strawberry matcha duo which was also great. Their fruit syrups taste like real fruit. I really enjoyed their drinks and would love to try their whole menu!!! read more

So I've heard about allll the hype and finally decided to try it! I came around 10 on a Wednesday, and it wasn't too crowded. But it started picking up after. I got the earl grey coffee drink, and honestly it was, okay... I barely tasted the earl grey and it was just overall an interesting taste. I didn't hate it nor love it. The service was great! Everyone was nice and helpful. The place was super clean and vibey. Parking: there is street parking and I THINKKKK there's a lot in the back lol but I'm not sure. read more

After driving back from World Market, I noticed this place and wanted to dive in. This coffee shop used to be another shop that would sell beignets. For a long time, this place was for lease. Now they opened up this quaint, cozy, cute, clean place that has so much charm and personality. Opened March of this year. It was a busy Sunday evening. Walked in on the 4th of this month at 5:50pm and got in line. There were 3 people ahead of me. It was booming with cheerful people. One thing I don't understand is why there were so many kids between the ages of 3 to 6 at that hour in a coffee shop with their parents, when they should be at home, getting ready for bed. Also, no offense to dog owners/lovers, but since it has outdoor seating along with indoor, dogs should not be allowed to be inside. All of their drinks comes in one size, and that is 12oz. Doesn't matter if it's a hot or cold beverage. They also sell tea. I opted for their Lavender Cold Matcha. Had one sip and it hit me hard. It was way too strong, and way too sweet. Miguel, being the nicest, helpful, kind, sweet person who took my order, told me not to worry & he will make me another drink. I ordered their single shot decaf Vanilla Latte with Almond milk (+0.75¢). I wanted their Ube Cheesecake and he said they were out, I wanted their Blueberry Muffin, also out. Then I got their Apple Danish, asked him to warm it up. All I could taste was the dough. Took few bites, trying to taste the apple, and almost until the end, was just a small dot of apple filling inside. Got ripped off. They had 2 nice size pastry cases and were empty, except very few pastries inside. I guess you have to come in the morning. Long lines, nice merchandise including mugs, sweatshirts, and aprons. They also had lots of fancy bottled water for sale. They also have counter seating with a few chairs. The Latte that I got was made to PERFECTION!! If the Apple Danish had apples, it would have been even better. It is in the same plaza where California Pizza Kitchen is, along with the Green Apple Chinese Bistro. Both of them are my favorites. Street, metered, and garage parking structure (with validation). Every shop/restaurant is different when it comes to the price. Didn't see any restrooms. read more

was in the area so I thought I'd stop by and try the Matcha latte. There was a long line that moved pretty fast. I ordered the Matcha duo so just Matcha, oat milk and Matcha foam. Excellent quality and great flavor! They have several different options for Matcha. I'd love to go back and try another flavor! Cute location. Only wish they had more than one restroom as there was a long wait with the amount of people at this café! Great, friendly service as well! read more

ROK coffee and matcha is nothing less than spectacular! The line is usually easy and moves fast. Place feels very cozy with free digital pictures you can make and download online - they also print receipt copy. My go to is lotus latte which is heaven in the mouth - one of best lattes I ever had. Their matcha is also very high quality. Would recommend this place. 11/10 read more
Celebrity sighting! Samara & Emily from Kats Eye Dream Academy were there which immediately the street cred of the cafe. I got the iced sparking yuzu matcha which was bright l, sweet and sour with some balancing bitterness from the matcha . My friend got the matcha duo with cookie butter which was delicious and slightly sweet. The line took like 20 minutes but was more than worth it. read more
The service is pretty slow but everything is made to order. Their "DUO" latte which is espresso with a cream top was a little too sweet for my liking. It wasn't really desserty but more so just a little unenjoyable due to how much syrup is used. My partner really enjoyed their matcha which seems like that's what they're known for. The place itself is super cute and clean. Very good spot for working remotely or to study. It's spacious with a lot of seating but it's usually pretty lively. Parking on the Main Street and they also have parking in the back in a lot. Overall it's OK but not for me. Would come back if a friend wanted to try it out. Nothing to rave about tho. read more

ROK is giving major Gen Z hangout energy and the menu is genuinely huge -- Matcha Duo, Studio Craft, and Cafe Duo series, so there's a lot to work through before you even reach the register. We tried three: strawberry matcha, coconut matcha, and the classic rich matcha. All three were really good, and honestly they lean more dessert than drink -- the cream foam on top is doing a lot of the work, making each one taste rich and almost creamy-sweet rather than just grassy like matcha at a lot of other spots. Only downsides: the line was long and parking nearby is tough, so budget extra time for both. Worth it if you're in the mood for a pretty, Instagram-worthy matcha treat -- just don't go if you're in a rush. read more

We have tried the Cookie Butter Einspanner latte, the plain Einspanner Latte, a Strawberry Matcha Duo, and the Black Sesame latte. Out of these, I would get the Einspanners again any day. The matcha cream top is really nice - great flavor and texture. Their matcha is a nice strong flavor, not too bitter and undoubtedly smoother than almost anywhere else I've tried. They are probably my #2 or 3 spot for top matcha in the LA area. Unfortunately for me, the Strawberry Matcha Duo as it comes is way too sweet for me. I think I would ask for half the strawberry jam next time or just try the plain matcha duo. The Sesame latte was honestly too overwhelmingly sesame flavored. It ended up alllll over my partner's teeth. Probably half the amount of sesame would have been reasonable. Both the plain Einspanner and the Cookie Butter Einspanner were very nice. Smooth, rich cream top with just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. The espresso is not bitter. My only thought is that the espresso flavor could be a little stronger in this drink, altho it's very nice as it is as well. I will be back here for these two drinks in the future, and to try the matcha at a different sweetness level. The space itself is nice, open, several small two top tables and bar seating around the edges, with an artsy bench in the middle for sitting while you wait for your to-go order (most people are ordering to-go, so there is usually seating available). There is also a nice courtyard for the mall building this is in that you can hang out in. They have a clean restroom inside. There is plenty of natural and artificial light. Music is always playing, but imo, at a level too loud to study or work without earbuds in. YMMV. This place gets suuuuuuper busy on the weekends, especially on a Sunday when we were last here after the farmer's market. The line took ages. They make drinks quite slowly here and I would say they are a little overwhelmed and in the weeds at this new location so far. They could use more staff making drinks. Even when we came mid-day on a weekday and were one of 3 orders in the whole place, the drinks took their time. That's fine for a less busy place and I don't mind that they take their time to create quality drinks, but at a place that does this much business...who's got the time to wait 45+ minutes in line for a matcha except on the weekends? They need to address that. Parking is street only, or if you get lucky and there is space in the underground garage behind the building, the valet attendant will let you park there for 30 minutes free for picking up orders... obviously that's not going to work on the weekends when you're stuck there for 30 minutes to an hour just waiting to even order. This is a new location, so I hope these are just normal growing pains and logistics that will get worked out with time. read more
Parking: Rok is on Ventura Blvd in Studio City so parking there is already annoying. It's at the street corner of Ventura and Laurelgrove. You can either drive up and down looking for street parking along Ventura or you can turn into one of the neighborhoods to park and walk down the blvd. Just be sure to read the signage and not block any driveways. We did have to park a couple blocks away, but no problem since window shopping on that strip is always nice. Ambiance: Inside felt nice and airy, good temperature, nice overhead lights, and lots of beautiful natural light. The tree in the middle is also a nice photo opp. There is very limited seating inside since the floor plan is spaced out. Also on social media, there was a photo booth/photo strip machine being advertised but it was not working or not in service when we visited. This is the type of place to grab your coffee and just go, and isn't so leisurely. Drinks: We ordered the matcha duo and Black sesame latte. The matcha duo was delicious and almost perfect sweetness. The matcha duo was a nice double matcha experience, also not too sweet. The matcha didn't feel top tier quality like Rocky's matcha, but it was definitely up there and no complaints in terms or bitterness or any grainy quality to it. The black sesame was a bit sweet and the cream top really pushes it over the top in terms of being too decadent and rich. The coffee inside was nice, but we were left desiring a stronger coffee flavor in the latte. Service: The line was super long and wrapped outside the building for a decent distance, but went by at a decent speed. We got out drinks in a good amount of time despite the crowd on a Friday afternoon. Overall: Visually appealing cafe experience with its bright, airy interior and well crafted specialty drinks. The menu leans a little indulgent and sweet but the unique flavor combinations and aesthetic presentation help it. It's a solid spot in LA. read more

Woooow this place is popular! Came here for the first time this past weekend with some friends. This is a trendy matcha spot with a clean, Scandinavian inspired vibe. A few friends later have described their drinks as a little too sweet, and even without knowing that I ordered it less sweet by default. The takeaway here is that you can have the sweetness adjusted and don't need to spike your glucose unnecessarily. The cream top is creamy and decadent, and definitely sets them apart from other matcha spots. Parking is available in a subterranean lot downstairs. Get here early so you can 1) avoid a line at this cafe, 2) avoid having to pay for valet (got here just before 9am and there was no valet booth even set up yet). read more
Oh man. We came on a Saturday morning and waited FORTY FIVE MINUTES to wait in line, order, and get our drinks. Yes, our drinks were delish, but I'm not rushing back anytime soon to stand in that line. Seriously, the line was out the door and wrapped around the walkway - LA, why do we do this to ourselves? I had the chestnut latte and it was quite good once I gave it a thorough stir. There are whole chunks of nuts, which were obviously just garnish and too big to enjoy. My friend had the matcha. She liked it, but had to have the drink remade due to an allergy issue that they missed initially. Price point is on the higher end, but worthwhile for the taste and quality. There are also a number of light bites to enjoy. Rok is Korean, so they have a sesame and matcha cookie/pastry that looked yummy, too. Street parking or free parking in the underground lot are your options here. There's a photo booth inside, too! read more

This was a cute, busy, little shop with a nice indoor and outdoor seating area. The staff is really nice and informative. Parking was especially rough though, but that's just studio city. If you are spending time in the area and walking around this is a nice little stop, but I wouldn't travel just for this matcha shop. The matcha flavor is overly strong, even if you mix the drink around. I wish they would add more of the jam, toppings, or syrups that deliver the flavors in their specialty drinks. read more

I came here to try Rok for the second time (first being its prime Koreatown location) and because this is way closer to my house and had hopes that this could be a new matcha spot for me. Parking at this plaza does cost money but as I spotted most people doing, you can park somewhere just off Ventura Blvd in the residential areas and walk on over for free. There is also metered street parking. Given that this place has blown up on social media, definitely expect a large line and a wait time of ~30 mins. Service itself wasn't slow after we ordered and I imagine this is because they are a new location and likely still training employees but there was only 1 cashier and multiple baristas but only 1 barista would make a drink while the others watched? So this would understandably increase wait times. There is no outdoor seating and quite a bit of indoor seating! Given its popularity, I wouldn't recommend coming here to study or read but I think this could be a nice cafe to visit and catch up with friends! Matcha Duo 4/5, okay so I would get this again BUT I would request it to be less sweet as I felt this tasted a bit too sweet for me. Price wise, this was average for a matcha latte in LA. read more
Yummy drinks all around especially the perfectly sweet, creamy, and nutty hojicha duo which I actually preferred over their matcha duo but both drinks were great! Note: There's limited seating and no WiFi so not a great study spot for students! Parking is hard to find unless you want to pay for garage parking! read more
If 3.5 was available to give, that's what I would have given. I was looking forward to trying Rok and we made it a destination to go to. The line wasn't too long and there were quite a few employees which was helpful to pump out the drinks that patrons were ordering. The pastries in the bake case looked day old even if they weren't. There was a good selection of based goods but they looked hard and not freshly baked. The atmosphere was nothing to write home about. They could have simply made a pick-up window that opened to Ventura Blvd. and pushed matchas and coffee orders out to the customers. Folks were lining up to order, and once they received their drinks they walked out the door. It was an assembly line of service and pick-up. Matcha and coffee were acceptable, but there are other businesses offering as good, if not better. It would be nice if there was something that hooked customers to want to return to Rok instead of churn-and-burn style service. Metered, parallel street parking available on Ventura Blvd. and side streets. read more

Short wait for two delectable, meticulously crafted drinks! We ordered the Hojicha Duo and Matcha Duo. The Hojicha was had caramelly brown sugar notes - think roasty toasty flavors that contrasted deliciously with the cream top. The matcha Duo was excellent as well- it probably is the ideal of what you can expect when you order this sort of drink- in LA's competitive market, its no wonder the Rok is thriving and growing! Pro tip, go to the back and do a cute and free photo booth picture :) read more

Visited: 4/23/26 The Duo Series is served iced only, with your choice of milk. I chose whole milk. Both drinks were delicious and tasted very true to their flavors. I was in more of a fruity mood, so I ended up preferring the Mango Matcha Duo, but I was pleasantly surprised by how closely the Blueberry Shortcake Matcha Duo matched its name. It really did give that dessert-like flavor. The matcha itself was smooth and creamy, which I really liked. However, the matcha flavor was a bit subtle and got overpowered by the stronger components in both drinks, especially the blueberry shortcake. Even so, both drinks were still very enjoyable and well made! I just wish the matcha flavor stood out a bit more to balance everything. The drinks were also made and served very quickly, which made the experience even better. Mango Matcha Duo ($8.50): 9.5/10 Blueberry Shortcake Matcha Duo ($8.75): 9.5/10 They also had a really fun feature near the entrance called "Checkpoint". It is a free photo booth that prints your picture in a receipt-style format. After scanning the QR code, you can view and download the colored version of your photo, and you even have the option to send it as a postcard. However, you can't see how you look until it's printed. The ambiance is cozy and inviting. There is a tree in the center of the space and the lighting creates a warm and comfy vibe. Indoor seating is available, but I can see it filling up quickly during peak hours. Utensils such as straws, napkins, and lids are located at the front near the register, which is convenient. They also have merchandise available for purchase inside. The bathroom was clean overall, but it was missing toilet paper at the time of my visit. Unfortunately, the parking situation was not great. The shop is located within a plaza, and a worker approached us to let us know that parking in the garage costs $5 for the first 30 minutes. After that, valet rates apply. The garage itself felt very cramped, and it is easy to get blocked in by other cars as other cars can park behind you. read more

Best Strawberry Matcha ever! It was our first time visiting, so I'm really looking forward to coming back to try everything else, but my Strawberry Matcha was perfection. My husband's Hojicha Duo was amazing as well. The cold foam on top is so creamy and the drinks aren't too sweet. read more
I've tried other Rok locations before and this one is just as delicious! The store is large and clean with ample seating. The line was long on Saturday morning for soft opening, but moved pretty quickly. We ordered their popular matcha duo drink with oat milk but forgot to lower the sweetness. The drink was delicious but I would probably lower the sweetness level next time because I enjoy some more earthiness in my matcha! read more
Oh the long awaited opening in Studio City! Ordered: Double Cloud Matcha - 4/5: I liked it. It definitely reminds me of the Alfred one except...double cloud. I do understand having this at half sweet because I do think the blend of this was a good amount of sweet. I can't imagine doing more. However I do like this more than Alfred!! Looking forward to trying the rest. Line: Wait time right now is probably avg 30mins Parking: ~ Definitely the worser parts of Ventura. Street parking is the best option unless you find some in the alley on laurelgrove read more

We got here at 9am on Saturday morning and of course, there was already a line! The line moved on the slower side; however, the drinks came out a bit faster. We got the Matcha Duo and the Matcha Strawberry Shortcake Duo. I love that you can adjust the sweetness (and glad I asked) so I got 50% sweet for the Matcha Duo and that was still so sweet for me that I can't imagine the regular. It was nice and creamy with the foam, which I loved. We luckily got a seat and where there are a lot of tables/chairs, it does get taken quickly! Lots of street parking, but also LOTS of businesses so it may be harder in "rush" hours. I heard their coffee was good too so I would try it maybe when the line isn't so long! read more
Apparently there's a location in downtown LA but they literally just opened this valley location roughly a month ago. It might turn out to be my new favorite matcha spot! Because it was a new spot, there was a line out the door on a Sunday afternoon. The line moved pretty quickly, took about 30min to order and get our drinks. They have some round tables inside but I didn't see any seating outside. Ordered the matcha duo and I can still taste the matcha cream top. So silky, smooth and perfect about of matcha. Literally one of the best matcha drinks a I've had. I just wish the cup size was larger. Exited to come back and try more drinks! read more
Line was out the door as expected on a saturday morning but it didn't feel terribly long. Drinks came out fast too. The space is bright and clean with a good amount of seats. Only downside is parking is tough. There's a lot underground that is $3-$5 valet/ self parking. I ordered the strawberry matcha duo with no alternatives. Overall I would rate it a 7/10. Nothing crazy good but it was decent. I would want to come back and try the matcha duo with oat milk! read more
I really enjoyed my matcha einspanner it was a little sweet b ur next time I will definitely be trying a different matcha. The quality of the matcha tasted good and it came out fairly quick. The free Photo Booth thing inside was cute and there seemed to be plenty of seating. read more

Amazed! Seems to be the word I can use atm, I'm so happy the valley has so many places opening up recently, it's def going on the right direction and bringing all these businesses in Ktown/LA over to our side. "The VALLEY" With that said, helllloooo Rōk! So happy to have you here! You chose the right place to be at and I will definitely be going more often than I should. This place has been a gem for match lovers in Ktown and so happy they've expanded! My go-to has always been the Matcha Duo and I don't think I'd get anything else but eventually haw to try their other items on the menu. How can I explain how delicious this drink is, I feel like it's proportioned right, enough matcha, enough of what w/e else is included in there. Milk, matcha, the creaminess, love it all! If you've ever tried Rōk and happen to be around the area, don't hesitate to stop by. Parking though, it's on Ventura so metered parking, unless you park on the side streets that don't require meter parking or the CVS/Vons Shopping center nearby and walk there. read more
