    SYNT Coffee in Koreatown is such a fun spot, especially if you're looking for somewhere open late. I stopped by and tried a mix of drinks and desserts, including their ceremonial matcha, espresso, shaved ice, cookies, and some of their Dubai chocolate items. Everything looked amazing and the matcha in particular stood out, super smooth and clearly high quality. The biggest plus is their hours. Being open until 2AM during the week and 4AM on weekends makes it a great late-night hangout spot, which is honestly hard to find in LA. The vibe is modern and a little trendy, and it's a great place to go with friends when you want something sweet after dinner.

    This particular location has been about 10 things in 10 years, and here's the latest thing: SYNT (See You Next Time). Big and bright as could be with white walls and furnishings, there's plenty of room for you, your posse and your laptops. Show Me the Money KPop blaring. I'm always on the hunt for a delicious cream top einspanner latte, and here it is. With hours til 2am, you cannot go wrong. Friendly friendly staff and the sajangnim (사장님) is on the premises. You can give the boss a piece of your mind (or a compliment like I did). Elusive street parking or something like $5 "valet" in their lot. Valet but you park it, mister. Coffee menu is 20 pages long so there's something for everyone. Red velvet cream cheese cookie has got Yelp written all over it. Come get one!

    Walking into SYNT Coffee in Koreatown feels like stepping into a space that was designed with equal parts intention and whimsy. I've visited plenty of cafés in Los Angeles, but SYNT has that rare ability to make you pause the moment you enter. The décor is stunning--modern without being cold, artistic without trying too hard. Soft neutral tones, sculptural seating, and warm lighting create a space that feels like a cross between a gallery and a cozy hideaway. It's the kind of place where you instantly want to sit down, take a breath, and stay longer than you planned. What struck me first was how thoughtfully curated everything felt. The textures, the shapes, the way the natural light hits the room--it all works together to create a calming, almost meditative environment. Even the small details, like the minimalist ceramics and the way drinks are presented, add to the experience. It's a café that understands aesthetics aren't just decoration; they're part of the flavor. The service at SYNT Coffee is genuinely delightful. Every interaction I had felt warm and unhurried, as if the staff actually enjoys being there. They're quick to offer recommendations, happy to talk through the drink options, and somehow manage to strike that perfect balance between friendly and unobtrusive. It's refreshing to feel welcomed without being rushed. I can't talk about SYNT Coffee without mentioning the Lotus Biscoff cookie. It's simple, sure, but somehow it becomes the perfect companion to their drinks. The caramelized crunch pairs beautifully with the creaminess of their matcha or coffee drinks. It's one of those small touches that elevates the whole experience--comforting, nostalgic, and just indulgent enough.

    See you at SYNT. It is the perfect coffee shop for those coffee and tea lovers, it is opened until 2AM every week days & 4AM (Friday & Saturday). SYNT recently launched ceremonial matcha series that has a wide variety of drink choices, matcha is imported from Japan with the highest quality and flavor. The brand is close to launching their ceremonial matcha tins for you to try! Come check them out. You can pair your matcha with a large selection of desserts from cakes, croffles, shaved ice and macarons.

    Great environment, very much study vibes here, great to bring your laptop and study. Servers were really friendly and nice. Food and drinks were absolutely amazing and delicious. My favorite was the dubai strawberry chocolate and the sea salt caramel latte.

    Just stopped by and had a great experience. The staff was very friendly, the coffee was delicious, and it was such a nice way to start the day. Definitely left in a good mood!

    A lot of options
    Chris Y.

    I've been here a few times, and while the place itself is very clean and looks nice, the overall experience just isn't great. I tried the Mugwort Einspanner Latte, which was decent, not bad, but nothing memorable. The Pistachio Einspanner Latte was a bit too sweet and also didn't really stand out. So overall, drinks are below average. What bothered me the most, though, was the service. I had to order from the same person 3 times, and all times she came across as rude and completely uninterested. No greeting, no interaction she barely even spoke or look at the customer while taking the order. It just felt uncomfortable. So the most recent time I was there, while placing my order I even changed my mind and left. I really didn't want my day to be ruined by this experience. When I was leaving the server didn't even say bye, I mean, what else could be expected from this type of service. On top of that, the prices are higher than most other coffee spots in the area, and honestly, it doesn't feel justified. That might also explain why there's usually plenty of seating available. Overall, it's just not worth coming here. There are so many better places with stronger drinks and much friendlier service.

    I had been here before when either it had different owners or it was a different name. Regardless the café has so much seating and has so many great coffee and Matcha drinks to choose from. the only thing I don't like is that parking is very limited and the parking lot associated with it is valet only. I ordered a cookie butter Matcha latte and it was so good. The mixture of the Matcha with the cookie butter went really good. It's a little on the sweet side more like a dessert Matcha than a traditional Matcha nevertheless really good.

    Sweet Potato Latte, Black Sesame Einspanner Latte, and Tiramisu Einspanner Caffe Latte
    Mary A.

    Came here pretty late and I love that they stay open really late. It's such a good spot for late night hangouts or even studying. Even around 1AM, the place was still busy with lots of customers, but there are plenty of seats inside so it didn't feel too cramped. Their drink menu is huge, which I liked because there are so many unique options to try. We did have to wait about 25 minutes, but it was pretty packed so it made sense. It is on the pricier side as we paid $54 total, but the drinks and desserts felt high quality and unique. I LOVED their Dubai Chewy Cookie. We got the original and strawberry, and both were so good. They put a generous amount of kanafeh, which gave it an amazing texture. For drinks, we ordered the Tiramisu Einspanner Caffe Latte, Sweet Potato Latte, and Black Sesame Einspanner Latte. The black sesame latte was SO good! Super nutty and rich. The sweet potato latte was also one of my favorites; it really tasted like sweet potato in the best way. I also liked that the drinks weren't overly sweet, which I personally prefer. The Tiramisu latte was just okay in my opinion, but not bad. Parking is a bit limited and mostly valet, which can be a downside. Overall, I really enjoyed this spot. Great for late nights, studying, and trying unique drinks and desserts. Definitely will be back!

    I feel like this place has changed names so many times the past year, but I hope this one stays! It's super spacious and modern, and they have a few fun bites on display next to the entrance! For some reason, it just feels a little unorganized, and I didn't love how the menu was a little grungy and in crooked paper form. Also, the latte I ordered was a tad too sweet, and it's a bit shocking to see a $10 price tag on a latte. It still has that modern vibe and seems like a good place to chat or work :)

    Katherine T.

    came on a monday around midnight and it was pretty packed. service was a bit slow but understandable for how busy it was. workers were really kind and answered all of our questions! the biscoff croffle and strawberry dubai chewy cookie were really good! the mango cake was just okay, the mangoes weren't as ripe as i'd like them to be. all of the drinks were yummy, we got two teas and a smoothie. i'm sure you can't go wrong with any of them! overall very solid place, open late, yummy drinks and desserts!

    Brian C.

    I've driven by this tea shop a million times and I didn't know it was so yummy. I got the coconut matcha and banana matcha, the gf got iced coffee and berry tart! The staff was super friendly and outgoing. Park on the street, lot busy!

    I ordered the Milk Tea *Original
    Tirzah K.

    I ordered the classic milk tea if you plan to order any drink make sure to order light ice it was 70% ice and 30% drink I hardly ever finish a small Starbucks and I finished the drink in under five minutes which is not good considering I timed it and it took 17 minutes and 47 seconds exactly for the drinks to come out . I ordered three small items and everything cost $22 and was demolished in under five minutes. everything was too high priced and considering the price the flavour had nothing special to it. There are many different options with better prices and flavours don't highly recommend.

Parking wasn't too difficult to come by, and there are even a few electric charging spots if you need it. I stopped by around noontime and there were people inside/outside chatting, working, taking pics in the photobooth, etc. The line went by quickly and I had my hojicha einspanner in no time!

I paused, glanced at the empty café behind me, and replied, "There are plenty available--surely I can use one." He continued, in a dismissive tone, speaking to me in a way that felt unnecessarily disrespectful. I chose to walk away and still enjoy my pour-over. But it's not just about serving good coffee. As Maya Angelou reminds us, people will always remember how you made them feel. And in this space, I felt unwelcome. As a paying customer--one who tipped in advance--that behavior felt undeserved and unwarranted. For that reason, there's no need to return.

The line is not for the faint of heart. I tried their matcha einspanner, breakfast sliders, and pistachio toast and all three were AMAZING. - Matcha Einspanner: One of the best matchas I've ever had! The matcha is so well balanced - you can actually taste the matcha, not too sweet, and creamy too. They also sprinkle sea salt on top which helps enhance the matcha flavor. My only complaint is that I wish the cup was bigger. - Breakfast Sliders: I wasn't expecting much from the sliders, but everyone always hypes up their slides, so I knew I had to give it a try. I was not disappointed! The egg is so fluffy and the sauces that come with it are so delicious, especially their hot sauced. I added bacon and avocado too and it was great. - Pistachio Toast: I feel like their pistachio toast is not talked about enough. It was so yummy and satisfying that I wish I could get another one. The toast is hearty and the pistachio spread with sea salt, olive oil, and olive oil is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I'm still thinking about their toast. Although it is quite pricey, I think the taste and quality justify the price. The interior is small and there's about 6 tables outside which is pretty crowded so you might have to take it elsewhere to enjoy.

So if you have a day off work and have time to kill but also want to get hard earned coffee come here It's pretty good but make your wait worth it and get the oats.
