Interior of the store
Danny C.

Not sure what's up with the bad reviews. I visit this Starbucks multiple times a week and stay for hours at a time and EVERYTHING about this location exceeds expectations. The baristas here are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to satisfy customers. I know all of them by their names. They want you to feel welcomed and satisfied during your stay. They'll strike up a conversation with you while still maintaining efficiency and pumping out drinks. When mistakes are made, they won't hesitate to correct them and remake your drinks. The interior is sleek and modern. Seating is sometimes limited, but that's expected as it's in the heart of Koreatown. It can get busy but the baristas here are experts at handling the rushes. There are 4 small tables of 2 seats each, so expect to wait for seating to open up. There is also a wheelchair-accessible table. The staff regularly wipe down the tables and sweep the floors. You can expect it to always be clean. As of February (after their store renovation), this location no longer provides power outlets. Make sure that your devices are charged if you plan on studying/working here. They have a single-stall restroom that is always clean and well-maintained. I frequent Starbucks very often and out of all the locations I've visited, this is hands down the best.

Went today on 03/20/2025 placed a mobile order and was disappointed (at first) when I was given the wrong food item with my drink order from what I ordered and what was shown on the sticker. I hadn't noticed till I got to work and was able to return to see if I could switch out such item due to the mix up. I was helped out by Kat and after explaining the situation she was very apologetic for the mix up and made sure to get me my right order as soon as possible. I originally wrote a negative review about the mistake because of being given the wrong item (I was more upset because I was given like a $2 item when I paid for an $8 item) but ended up leaving happy and thankful the staff was understanding. Thank you Kat you were so sweet give this girl a raise she was so nice 10/10. Oh and my drink and food was bomb after the fix thank you!

So many Yums.

When you go to SBux, you know what the food, drinks and prices is going in. What makes or breaks a location is the staff. Starbucks in KTown is my go to location and I've never had any issues. I lived on the block so would go in at least once a week when I lived in the area. Order ahead on the app and report in for your drink at the scheduled time. I've never had an issue with a long wait or anything of the sort. The staff is always friendly here and happy to help. It's always clean and well organized. But it's also *always* busy especially in peak morning times. Order ahead if you can, and rest assured you'll be taken care of! Don't forget to tip your barista!

Cold Brew Coffee with toffee nut syrup and oatmilk
Robin K.

This location, gets rather busy during lunch time, and they rush their products out. While its understandable for late products due to traffic, it isn't okay if its done incorrectly. The drink I ordered today COLD BREW + syrup + oatmilk, shouldn't taste watery, yet it was super watered down. The ice hasn't even melted yet its watery. My friends coffees were also watery. This is probably due to simple over measurements or oversights due to the rush hour. But, cold brew? I dont understand how that would taste watery. Anyways, starbucks is great, but this location & other wilshire LA locations isn't pulling it off with their products

Passion tango tea made keto friendly /sugar free
Lindsey W.

First time visiting & I'll definitely be back to this location. I work nearby so I walked over on my lunch break to get an afternoon treat. The staff were all so incredibly welcoming and friendly. The guy who rang in my order helped me pick the right combo for my drink and the barista was one of the friendliest I've ever met. There wasn't a line (it was around 12:30) and most orders were mobile pick ups. The only gripe I have, and hence 4 stars, is that there is no where to park in the mornings before work (can't park on Wilshire until 9am), so I never stop in. Otherwise this would be me everyday go to.

I come here at least once a week, if I tell you how many times I am really here you would call me addicted Lol. But, I do have to give this particular spot 5 stars. They have always been on point, friendly, and keeps me going. I seriously had zero issues with the amount of times I have been here. Well, maybe when they are out of the impossible sandwich, then I am bummed. This location has been great a keeping neat, follows covid restrictions and guidelines. Thanks guys!

Outdoor entrance to the mall
Crystal B.

Service was great! My drink came out perfectly as I ordered. Didn't have any issues with this Starbucks. Ordered: grande iced green tea with apple juice + two pumps of classic- shaken in a venti cup with extra ice. Came out exactly as I wanted it Service: the workers were very friendly and responsive to all the requests by all the customers there. Bathroom: one co-ed inside Starbucks. Ask for a bathroom code Location: this was the one that I didn't really like. To get to Starbucks you had to go into the mall (mostly empty and deserted) and then go through the sliding entrance door to Starbucks. The overall atmosphere of the mall wasn't pleasant and we weren't exactly sure how parking worked (street parking and maybe the indoor mall parking)? Regardless street parking was packed and we barely found an available spot... if I had to park indoors for the mall .. I wouldn't have enjoyed walking through the empty mall just to get to Starbucks.

Street of LA in Starbucks cup!
B K.

If you want the view and the vibe of busy streets of Los Angeles, you need to visit the Starbucks located in heart of Koreatown Los Angeles on Wilshire Blvd and Havard. Inside this starbucks are students to workers to employees and everything is so alive and up and running.. it really feels like you can psychologically enjoy your starbucks coffee break any day, any time. I was able to enjoy my coffee break during the busy week day while raining in LA, which made my hot macchiato Latte taste like heaven. I strongly recommend you to visit this location if you are in Ktown Los Angeles! the parking is validated for up to 1 hour and there are meter parkings outside also, although it can be hectic to find one~!

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.

Please do better for your unsuspecting customers. Perhaps simply place the lid next to the drink when presenting it on the counter.

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.

Loved the honey lavender matcha and peanut coffee. The drinks were beautifully presented too, so they looked just as good as they tasted.

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!

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

First, the cafe is super cute and quaint. There is seating inside and outside and the service was pretty quick. I have to warn you - there is no parking! I had to circle around a bit to try and find a spot on the street. I decided on the coconut mango matcha because it was 100° outside and I wanted something refreshing. I thought the switch of coconut water vs a traditional latte with milk would be a great treat for the weather. I was able to adjust the sweetness to half sweet which I greatly appreciated. This drink was probably one of the best matcha's I've ever had. It definitely lived up to its reputation. The matcha was very good and balanced well with the coconut water. The mango puree added the perfect flavor and sweetness to the drink. I would absolutely come back!

Neither drink was overly sweet, and I loved this spot for their creative matcha drinks!
