Visited Stagger Coffee for the first time a few days ago and loved our experience. The drinks we ordered are double matcha and double hojicha latte. The drinks were very delicious; well balanced with the homemade creamy foam. They offer a great selection of pastries; we ordered the yuzu almond croissant and the apple danish. The cafe has plenty of seating and the staff is very friendly and efficient. Will definitely be visiting when we are in the area. read more

Excellent quality matcha that lives up to its hype. While the line was about 15-20min around noon on a Saturday, I'd say it was worth the wait to finally give Stagger a shot. Your best bet for parking is on the street. The shop has a modern industrial feel, with plenty of tables for working/studying, though it was packed when I was there. The double matcha is smooth and creamy, with a decadent cream top. The quality is great, but size is kind of small. It is also quite a sweet drink, which I loved as a treat, but probably would not have it often. read more

Stagger Coffee - Double matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Absolutely delicious matcha! I heard about this place from TikTok and wanted to give it a try and it was worth it. My friends and I got 3 drinks and it came out to be $23.50. The parking lot is valet only so beware. We had to find street parking which wasn't too difficult on a Wednesday afternoon. We went on Wednesday and there were a decent amount of people there. We didn't have to wait long at all. We got our drinks about 3 minutes after we paid. I personally give the strawberry matcha a 9/10! You can taste the freshness of the strawberry and it was not grainy at all. I would go again! read more

Stagger Coffee - Strawberry Matcha & Double Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I can absolutely see why Stagger is consistently rated as one of the best matchas in LA. The double matcha is really good, and the matcha cream on top is lightly sweetened and fluffy. The matcha itself is super smooth, not bitter at all, and is perfectly strong. I came around noon on a Saturday, and the line wasn't too long, and it moves pretty quickly. read more

Waited in the sun for maybe 15 minutes. Overall really good matcha. Good vibes. Nice and chic interior decor but too many people inside and a little loud. The double matcha was good but the cream was a bit too heavy for me and the matcha a bit too sweet. read more

Stagger Coffee - Double matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of the best spots for double matcha in Ktown! It's quite a popular spot with a good amount of seating and many people get some work done here. Just note that it can get a little loud when it's more busy. Service is pretty quick and the interior has a minimalist aesthetic. Love that they offer free stickers! Both the double matcha and double hojicha are delicious! I ordered both less sweet, though they still leaned on the sweeter side, especially the hojicha. The drinks are creamy and dessert-like! Parking: valet lot in the front ($3 cash or $4 with venmo/zelle) or street parking read more

This place was amazing! The strength of the coffee was perfect and you can definitely taste the quality & caffeine. They do a perfect balance of milk to espresso ratio & I'm definitely going to try the double matcha next time I just couldn't handle having more caffeine after two Spanish latte's! The shop was very cute and not the biggest (seems like a lot of people come and do work there or just come to catch up with friends and socialize) overall a very nice environment and the shop maintenance was very clean. Service only took a few minutes to get our orders (less than 10) only complaint I would have is it's hard to get parking in the lot but it's definitely worth stopping by or waiting for a spot to open up. read more

No words for how yums this matcha was. We got the double matcha and double hojicha which were both life changing. These drinks are definitely dessert drinks because the I got the matcha half sweet and it still tasted like melted ice cream. The matcha was super strong and still held the flavor after the ice melted. They were pretty busy on a Saturday around 11:30 but the series was quick and we got our drinks within 10 minutes. Would return again! Ratings Double matcha: 5/5 Double hojicha: 5/5 read more

Fav matcha in LA! Bonus that the wait here is never that long (even on weekends), since they are super efficient. Fairly priced quality drinks & street parking is do-able in this area if you don't mind walking a few blocks. Lots of indoor seating & a decent amount of outdoor seating as well. They also give out cute free stickers :) read more

I'm so sad they discontinued the Floral no. 1!! It was my husband and my favorite drink here, it was so unique and we would drive from OC just to get it and now it's gone. The cashier recommended the London Black as a replacement, which was a London fog/earl grey tea espresso-type drink but it tasted like Szechuan peppercorn hot pot :| Double matcha was still solid! Bring back the Floral no. 1 please!! Thank you!! read more

For true matcha enthusiasts, this place is an exceptional find.The matcha is elegantly rich and deeply aromatic, delivering an authentic, earthy bitterness that reflects its high quality rather than excessive sweetness. The flavor is refined and well-balanced, allowing the natural depth of the matcha to fully stand out.What I appreciated most was the restraint in sweetness. It never overwhelms the palate, instead complementing the matcha with a smooth, creamy finish that lingers beautifully. Each bite feels intentional and thoughtfully crafted, making it clear that quality ingredients are the focus here. This is an ideal destination for those who appreciate sophisticated desserts and genuinely well-executed matcha. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a refined and authentic matcha experience. read more

Heard amazing reviews of this place before I came, and I'm glad to know now the hype met my expectations after drinking both the hojicha and matcha lattes. This was probably Top 5 matcha lattes I've ever had, and the service was pretty fast after ordering. The vibes inside were great too - friends congregated, people working on their laptops alone. On a Sunday afternoon, no one was fighting for space (which I appreciate now more than ever). I will recommend friends to come back and try their double hojicha latte especially :) read more

The Double Matcha is very rich and creamy! The Matcha itself is more on the astringent/bitter side of flavor but the matcha cream top adds a subtle sweetness. I think I'd try the Hojicha if I visit another time! read more

I am SOOO glad my friend recommended this spot to me before we left LA :D Some of the best matcha I've had in California...! I'm genuinely so shocked at the quality. I wish they had a location in the bay ;u; Clean, minimal, industrial-chic interior. Packed to the brim on a weekday. Staff are courteous and professional. After placing our orders, they were out within 5 mins. DOUBLE MATCHA (w/oat milk): Creamiest, richest matcha with just a hint of sweetener. Omg it almost has a whipped cream texture. Matcha purists, this isn't the light frothiness that traditional matcha has, but is it delicious or what We even made a very out-of-the-way stop here going to the airport. A must-have next time I'm in Ktown! read more

I loveee Stagger!!! The double matcha was so good - the matcha top was absolutely delicious. I loved how creamy and strong the matcha was. The drinks came out insanely fast; we ordered, walked over to the pickup area, and they were already ready. The workers really have it locked down haha. The inside was super cute and there is also seating outside. Parking was a little tricky since the place is small, so we had to find nearby metered street parking. Overall a really solid matcha spot - it was so worth it!! read more

This review is long overdue, but when I went, I thought it was really tasty. I got the famous Double Matcha and it was a really rich and creamy matcha top. The sweetness was a perfect amount as well. Parking is difficult, we had to circle around a couple times before finding an open street parking spot. I expected a line, but it didn't take too long since the staff were working quickly to make the drinks. The shop was also packed with people. read more

Stagger Coffee - Double Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Place is cute, but all seats are taken up by students. Came on a weekend afternoon and there was no line to order, but place was packed. The double matcha has a very strong matcha flavor. The matcha flavor was grassy and it had a weird bitter after taste. It also left a weird texture in my mouth after - probably too much matcha, not sure. It's good, but wouldn't come back for it. read more

Got the double matcha with matcha foam, regular foam, and the double hojicha -- all were really good. The drinks do lean on the sweeter side, but they're adjustable, which I appreciated. Loved the interior, it's really cute and there's lots of seating. They also have free WiFi, making it a nice spot to hang out or get some work done. Parking is valet only or street parking, but service was good and fast. Overall, really enjoyed this place and would definitely come back! read more

Stagger Coffee - double matcha with matcha foam and regular foam. double hojicha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Unassuming cafe in K-town located in a small strip mall plaza. Once you walk in though, it's pretty aesthetic in a minimalistic, clean way. Walk straight to the counter, menu on table, and place your order. They'll call your name when it's ready. - double matcha - ceremonial matcha, housemade vanilla, housemade matcha cream, housemade cream, matcha powder. Only served iced. Made with regular milk. Matcha cream was a substantial layer in the drink and had incredible flavor. Lightly sweet balanced with the bitterness of the matcha that worked well. Matcha itself tasted really good quality. Aesthetically presented and perfect for a hot day. read more

This place was recommended to me so decided to check it out. Did not disappoint to say the least. Ambience is nice, interior design is sleek and clean, and service was fast. Was hesitant on getting the double matcha but since my sister strongly suggests I try it out, I'd figure I would give it a chance. It's creamy, delicious, and tasted more like of a dessert than a drink. I wish there were options for their sizes since $7.50 is quite pricey for how small it is. The double hojicha (seasonal) is nothing special. Nutty and creamy, but otherwise it's pretty standard. Nothing stood out from that drink. The gentleman at the register/who took our order was very friendly so we'd appreciate it. I would go here again, to get the double matcha or try something new, but otherwise I would avoid the double hojicha. read more

Stagger Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Could Stagger Coffee please come to the Bay!!! The only thing I kept saying to myself while drinking my double matcha was WOW! You can actually taste the matcha - it wasn't watery or overly milky. My husband got the Cream Top, which was very flavorful and on the sweeter side, but still so good. Our friend tried the Double Hojicha - we weren't the biggest fans, but if you love hojicha this might be the drink for you. The roasted flavor was just a bit too strong! We also tried a few pastries, and they were all great. The blueberry cream cheese muffin was my favorite - incredibly moist and delicious. The almond yuzu croissant was a close second: soft, flaky, dusted with just the right amount of powdered sugar, and the yuzu flavor was perfectly balanced. My third favorite was the chocolate croissant - a classic but still really good. Lastly, we tried the matcha cookie, which was just okay for us and a little on the dry side, so I'd probably pass next time. Service was quick and easy, and the coffee shop itself is super cute - very minimalist and modern. I will definitely make my friends take me here every time I visit! read more

I'm not the biggest matcha person, but my lady friend dragged me here. Stepping into this establishment made me feel like a performative male, didn't help that I offered to pay for the both of us. Jokes aside, this place is a total vibe. Bustling with noise and fervor, while still roomy enough for everyone to be left to their own devices. All I'm missing are wired earbuds then I'll fit in with the crowd. Oh, and the matcha was okay I guess. read more

Stagger Coffee - matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Popular and bustling coffee/matcha shop in K-Town Los Angeles. And when you walk in, it HAS that vibe...laptops out, young people drinking their coffee...that influencer, online romanticized LA life vibe--if you know you know. I had the Cream Top--the standard is water based, but I splurged and got it "milk based"--I was told this at the counter while ordering so I'm just repeating that, I've never actually been told "it's water based, would you like it in milk?" before so at first I didn't know how to answer (LOL). The drink is solidly good. Also tried the Double Matcha...it's a lot of matcha, for sure. Not overly sweet, pretty good. All was ok but not particularly mind-blowing and I wouldn't go out of my way to return especially since there are SO many coffee shops not just in LA, but in K-Town specifically. But it's all preference, and some people do love this place, so come on down and try it because they might be your favorite too. Parking looked crowded and I think there was some type of valet situation? Not sure but definitely look into that if you're coming by car and need parking. read more

Stagger Coffee - Drinky drinks (Cream top and Double Matcha)...solidly good. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stagger Coffee is a small coffee shop in Ktown neighborhood of LA. I thought it was nice inside and there's a good amount of people sitting down studying or working. It is a little bit loud inside but could be a vibe. The drinks came out really fast and it was an easy process. I know a lot of people would compare this to other places in LA like Damo, I definitely prefer Damo but this place has really good drinks too. The parking lot is valet or finding street parking which could be a mess. Sanitation: very clean (5/5) Staff: (5/5) Double Matcha (4/5) The double aspect to the drinks are the matcha in the latte as well as in the cream top that they add to it. I didn't know you could change the sweetness of the drinks but I would definitely change it if you can. It was definitely on the sweeter side and I wouldn't get 100% sweet again. Overall there was a lot of flavor inthe matcha. It was pretty earthy but still smooth and creamy. Double Hojicha (4/5) The double hojicha was good as well but I would take the extra star off for the sweetness of the drink. I definitely like my drinks sweetened because I feel like that helps the flavor of the hojicha come out. I would get it again but reduce the sweetness. read more

Parking can be a bit difficult to find unless you use valet, so just keep that in mind when you go. We didn't have to wait long for our drinks at all & the service was quick and friendly. There's plenty of seating inside, plus a small front area where you can sit, but it feels more like a spot to socialize rather than a place to get work done. The interior is minimalistic with bold lettering. They also have a bathroom available I ordered the double matcha and it was creamy and delicious. We couldn't stop talking about how much we loved them haha Overall, a great place to catch up with friends and enjoy really tasty drinks. I'd definitely come back for that double matcha! read more

First time I went here, it was suuuuper good but I think it fell off. The double matcha was pretty good but a little sweet and not as creamy. I think that community goods is better:( The hojicha latte had a great flavor but it was really grainy? idk maybe I got a bad batch. It's beautiful inside though but seats are limited, and when I went on the weekend the line was wayyyy outside and lining the parking lot, but when I went on a Wednesday, there was no line and the drinks were made like 1 second after ordering! read more

Stagger Coffee - Double matcha Hojicha cream top - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've had quite a few matchas all over the city and hands down Stagger has the best! I love the double matcha which is a matcha latte with matcha cream top and it's so indulgent and delicious. It's a bit thicker than other matcha lattes so it almost feels like you're drinking a matcha milkshake. Also the ratio of matcha to sweetness to creaminess is just perfect. Not too bitter (which some places overdo) and sweet enough to seem like a treat without being overbearingly sweet. Idk how Stagger does it because I keep trying other places but none of them can get it exactly right like they can. read more

Not my cup of coffee. Just a americano with cream top. This place maaaaybe for my daughter who loves matcha but I'll take her next time. But for today I'm reviewing on the cream top. It's a simple americano with cream top of you like that. A good try but I think I'll pass for coffee. Next visit will be for my daughter and her matcha. Friendly workers. Parking is a small lot. There is street parking but if there is any. LA is not a street parking place super crowded. UGH but if you want a decent coffee with cream top go here. read more

I went early-ish and there were still available parking spots in the parking lot but I find parking on the street is more convenient. However, the streets are dirty (at least when I went) and I wouldn't recommend going in flip flops or sandals (like I did). There were broken glass and thick substances on the ground that you don't want to step in, etc. Let's just say I was very careful where I stepped and I walked very slowly. Anyways, service was phenomenal. I was greeted right away and surprisingly there was no line. I got the double matcha and it was good. Inside is very spacious and aesthetically pleasing. read more

What was once a rundown laundromat has been completely reimagined into one of Koreatown's hottest matcha cafés. I truly applaud the owners for their BOLD VISION of transforming the landscape of this neighborhood and attracting a wave of trendy, young professionals. We visited on a Sunday afternoon, and the place was PACKED. The black-and-white interior, accented with minimalist decor, creates a sleek and modern vibe--though seating is limited. All the seats were taken when we arrived, so we waited for a spot to open up. We ordered their BEST SELLER: MATCHA served over ice with sweet cream. The verdict - Wow, this is hands down the BEST matcha I've ever had! I've made matcha at home before, and this café's version is on another level. If you're curious and willing to splurge on an $8 beverage, I'd say it's absolutely worth the trip. read more

Do yourself a favor and go get the double matcha from here. It's amazing. I am so sad that I don't live closer because I think about it allll the time. We came on a Saturday after lunch and there a long line, but it moved quickly. There are plenty of tables and chairs inside. It seemed like a lot of people go there to do work and study so we opted to bring our drink to go. The double matcha latte was strong and creamy. Unfortunately, the double matcha only comes in one size which is small. Next time, I'll get two of them. read more

I finally tried Stagger a few months ago and honestly... I feel like I've been missing out this whole time. I'd heard so many good things about it, but I was low-key hesitant because I thought it might be overhyped. Proud to report: it's officially become my go-to matcha spot whenever I'm in K-town! What I tried: Double Matcha Latte -- 4.5/5 I expected their Double Matcha to be super sweet, but it was perfect. Definitely on the sweeter side, but the sweetness works so well with the creaminess. I got mine with oat milk (of course), and it added even more richness to the matcha. And that cream top?? To die for. I literally caught myself trying to sip it through the lid instead of using the straw. Hojicha Creamtop -- 4/5 If you love deeper, toastier flavors, this one is for you. Their hojicha is smooth, aromatic, and pairs beautifully with the rich cream top. I still prefer the Double Matcha, but the Hojicha Creamtop is such a solid alternative if you want something different! Vibe: Stagger is tucked in the corner of a plaza right in the heart of K-town. Parking can be a little chaotic, but they do offer valet for $3, or you might get lucky with street parking. There was a line when I went, but it moved quickly. Plenty of seating inside, and a lot of people were posted up studying or working. Also, the cute mirror at the entrance is the perfect spot for a quick pic or check-in. read more

I've been to Stagger a few times now and it's definitely a spot that lives up to the hype. Each time I've gone, there's been a line out the door, but it goes by pretty quickly and the drinks make it worth it. I've tried the regular hojicha as well as the double hojicha when it came out, and both were really tasty. My friends have gotten the double matcha and they also say it's pretty top tier. The aesthetic inside is also nice and a cute spot to study- just bring noise cancelling headphones. There's some seating outside if you want some fresh air. Overall, definitely a fun and cozy coffee spot to hang out at! Also parking is valet (on the weekends, not sure about weekdays) and it's either $3 cash or $4 if you pay by Venmo or Zelle, street parking is free if you get lucky. read more

I've seen a lot of hype for this spot on social media, and since I'm a big matcha fan, I had to check it out. Came on a Saturday and the line was out the door, but it moved pretty fast. I picked up a double matcha, and the quality was really good. Not too sweet and had a nice, clean flavor. The café itself is very aesthetic and a nice place to hang out or chat with friends. The only downside is that the matcha drinks are on the smaller side, so if you care about portion size for the price, it might not feel worth it. Overall, still a great treat and worth trying if you love matcha. read more

First time trying Stagger! I really liked the Jasmine Matcha, which I believe is a seasonal drink. It was a good combination that I've never had before. My friend got the Double Matcha, which I thought was too sweet and too strongly tasting of whatever flavor sweetener they used. I tasted less of the matcha, but the matcha cream too was strong. Overall, both drinks were really good. The interior is spacious and very clean, and would be a good spot to hangout or even study. There is a smaller outside area you can sit in as well. Service was quick and staff were friendly. Parking is about $3 for valet or street parking. read more
