My boyfriend and I were looking for a place where we could grab a bite to eat and settle down for a…read moresolid study session, and this combination café/restaurant nailed it. He ordered the K-style toast and I got the tteokbokki--both were absolutely delicious! Word of caution: I completely missed the warning on the menu stating that the tteokbokki is meant for two people. They were definitely not kidding, and I couldn't even finish it! The setup here is super student-friendly. They have free water available, plenty of tables, a bathroom, and even an upstairs area we didn't get to check out yet. We stayed for about two hours and got so much done. Just a heads-up that it does get a little busy, so if you need absolute silence to focus, it might not be for you. But for us, the background buzz was perfect. We will definitely be back for future study sessions!

Little to no minty-ness. - Mango Hibiscus $6.5: can't rly taste mango - Duo Matcha $7.5 - more sweet than true earthy matcha taste, prob wouldnt get again - Rose tteok $19 - served piping hot from the pan. Tteok is perfectly chewy and fish cakes are sizeable and thick! Would get again. Not spicy for family who can't handle heat. - Truffle parm fries $7: tasty, though I wish they were served hot hot. They were just warm but still crispy tho - tuna crispy rice $13: also a banger! Tasty and sizeables pieces and rice had a good crunch without being too hard Definitely a pricey spot but for the food + studying vibes without being overly crowded on a Sunday evening before closing - I'd come back! Parking isn't that bad. There's usually street parking in front or the lot a few min down the street.

House Roots Coffee is one of my favorite coffee spots. My go-to drink is the Eispeiner Dream--the…read morecoffee has an amazing aroma, and the salted cream foam on top is perfectly balanced, adding just the right amount of richness without being overly salty or sweet. I love it so much that I regularly buy their Valley Blend coffee beans to make coffee at home whenever I can't make it to the shop. The quality is consistently great, and the flavor is always satisfying. Another thing I really like is their outdoor seating area. They have plenty of tables outside, making it a comfortable place to relax, or catch up with friends.

Great customer service, very fast, the shop was very clean and organized, they had some pastries, and they also had some juices. Very close to the college. There was no street parking so we found a parking lot at the corner and parked there and just walked a little bit to get our coffees .

Friendly staff and great drinks, but if you come for food expect a wait on a Saturday…read more Our drinks came out very quick, but a party before us waited 40 mins for their food and we figured we shouldn't be too far off, about an hour in we noticed people after us received their order before us. When i asked about my order i guess another person misheard their name and accidentally took my order (which happens) but after letting them know other people's orders were still sent out and similar to our order which was a beef tapa plate and Sean's burrito. An hour and 15 mins in I had to go up and ask for a refund because we had to go and I was told they just started my order and I saw the order on the end of the line. Personally I would've made the order who was waiting the longest first and have new orders wait a little more since they haven't waited as long as us, especially if the orders are very similar because everyone was getting the same plates and burritos

He took our orders: mango bingsoo ($9?) and matcha bingsoo $8.50 (subbed red bean for strawberries)--both regular size. Our order was called out 15 minutes later. Beautiful presentation and good portions! It wasn't too sweet and it includes side of condensed milk. Tip: if you prefer less sweet do let them know so they can adjust. Great ambience: lots of tables, beautifully decorated, bathrooms, claw machine :)

I KNOW YOU WANT THAT CHEESE FOAM YOU CANT HIlIlIDE. stop pretending ur a connoisseur and stop by Bon Bon. this large stinkin cup was only $7 (can't believe im saying "only" but this is LA) and still probably costs less than a coffee shop using the same colombian beans toh. it was so sweet (if ur feeling something dessert) and the black sesame flavor was so real, almost like peanut butter in drink form. and that BOBA was so warm and gooey and you could taste the brown sugar which is pretty hard to perfect.

With today's heat wave in the SFV, it felt like the perfect excuse to finally try the halo-halo…read morefrom this Filipino bakery/café that's been sitting on my "Want to Go" list for a while. One thing to note: they open late--12:30 PM. Parking was easy, and there's a decent amount of seating inside. I happened to be the first customer of the day. Don't expect the warm, smiley Filipino hospitality right away--just head straight to the counter and place your order on the iPad. As for the halo-halo, it's definitely not your traditional version. It wasn't bad by any means, but it's quite different from the halo-halo I grew up with and the ones I enjoy whenever I visit Manila. If you're looking for a modern take on the classic dessert, you may appreciate it more than I did. Prices are pretty standard for Los Angeles, and they accept Apple Pay, which is always a plus.
