    You know the most dangerous drinking game is seeing how long I can stand without coffee on weekdays. Let's begin this new coffee adventure. Van Dyke Coffee Roaster (est. 08/2025) is a relatively new coffee shop in Koreatown, Los Angeles, at West Olympic Blvd. The cafe features a very spacious interior x outdoor seating; thus, it works equally well for focused work sessions, study days, or a relaxed midday break. They have copious signature lattes, hot/cold coffee, coffee bags, pastries and friendly baristas. Their interior decor is modern with long maple wood center table and a relaxing atmosphere. I came late morning to grab a Flat white. And it was strong despite its hobbit size--8oz-- appearance albeit good quality. The female barista who wore a pulchritudinous blue checkered, white folded sleeves that almost matched my blue/white striped long-sleeved shirt was assiduous. I could have absconded with her. lol. Anyways, their service was spot on, however, the price seems above market price. Overall, I had a good experience from VDC. I recommend you visit.

    The matcha latte is alright. For the price, I think I'd gravitate toward another café. It was $19 for two matchas...that I didn't think tasted worth the price. Service was standard. If you plan to sit here, there's a one-drink-per-person minimum. The café itself is aesthetic and filled with natural light. The drink has that bitter matcha flavor, which I'm usually okay with, but this one wasn't very smooth. It left an aftertaste that I didn't enjoy.

    I only had one drink here, but it was well balanced. I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to come back here and try more things next time I'm in the neighborhood.

    Great little local coffee spot near K-town. Surprisingly, each time I have gone I was able to find parking right in front, for free, bonus! They have a nice outdoor patio area as well as a bright, clean and modern space inside to sit. Staff here is friendly, the drinks are made to order and take a bit longer than a coffee chain, but they are putting care into making the drinks. They have all the various coffee's you may be looking for, straight black coffee, blended, latte, espresso, matcha, etc. I typically get a non-fat latte. The espresso is smooth and not bitter, they do make them strong, so if you like strong coffee, you will be happy, if not, just add some creamer or sweetness to it, etc. to take off the edge. The one thing I wish they had more of is food, they have pastries and snacks, but limited, it would be nice to get something more substantial when visiting to get my coffee fix. Great spot, a change from the big chains out there and you are supporting a local business. Check them out. Enjoy!

    Orange Espresso Tonic

    The Orange Espresso tonic here is the best I've ever tried. Van Dyke uses high quality espresso that is complimented by the perfect amount of freshly squeezed orange juice. In terms of the usual coffee drinks, I would recommend their Cortado. It's the right milk ratio for me, but you can't go wrong with an Iced Americano or a Cappuccino either. I would also recommend their Double Mango Matcha. Whereas many shops use concentrated syrups that taste artificial, Van Dyke uses an authentic tasting mango cream that pairs wonderfully with the matcha latte. The space inside is also ample for studying and doing work and you can park inside the building itself - both a rarity in Koreatown. Friendly staff of course too and a very personable owner who often times is inside interacting with customers.

    This ratio told me everything before I took a sip.

    If i can give this place a -1/10, I would. If you're here for their matcha, dont even bother. The ratio alone tells me this was going to be milky. I was right. Tastes like mango with a none existent matcha taste. Youre paying $8-9 for milk, topper and mango taste. The mango tasted artificial. Not to mention, you can sit inside if you buy a drink AND food.

    We've tried their Dutch latte, houjicha oat latte, orange mocha and orange espresso tonic. All the drinks are good, but my favorite was Orange espresso tonic. It sounds strange but it works. It's kinda like how you use orange with chocolate cake (Barefoot Contessa recipe), I think. The flavors enhance each other in a strange way. Their other drinks were good too, but I feel like the orange mocha and orange espresso tonics were the standouts. Space is nice, there are a lot of people studying, and I think they require you get at least a drink to stay. There are a few tables outside as well, if you want to visit with your furry friend. Right next door to Yama Sushi. We've always found parking on the street, but I think you can also park in the lot you enter from the side. We've also gotten their roasted coffee beans, and it's delicious! They usually have freshly roasted bags available, like ones that they just roasted a day or two ago. FYI, they recommend waiting about 5 days before using it for coffee, I guess that is when the flavors are ideal. Nice staff and some pastries are available as well.

    Free 90 minute parking in structure. Tons of seating indoor and outdoor, great for a study session or a quick work from cafe. Chestnut Latte -sooo good, not sure if it's a new item or a seasonal item. They had a small printout near the register. Bits of chestnut throughout the cold foam and the sprinkle of cocoa powder really enhances the nutty flavor. Coffee was solid as well. Orange Mocha -if you've every had Terry's orange chocolate during the holidays, this literally tasted just like it. Bits of orange zest or dry pulp throughout that adds some texture. Coco Ube Cloud -you can really taste both the coconut and the ube shine through the espresso. Good, creamy and not too sweet. Double Mango Matcha -pretty sweet in my opinion, might ask if they're able to adjust sweetness next time. Matcha was good but not as strong as I'd prefer. Dutch Latte -good but also quite sweet.

    Strawberry matcha and pistachio croissant during

    Great coffee shop in K Town! There are plenty of coffee shops to pick from, but this newer shop is a wonderful addition. I have been here twice in the last month already, once to hang and another to get some work done. The shop is clean, modern, with plenty of seating both inside and outside. There is a hand washing area in addition to restrooms. All the drinks I've tried have been great, but I believe the sizes vary by 12 or 16 oz depending on the type, not by the size you yourself pick (my assessment is that "specialty" drinks are 16 oz by default). Staff was also kind during both visits. I've tried the strawberry matcha, matcha tonic, strawberry milk and orange mocha. All have wonderful balance, and the fruit components taste fresh and not overly sweet. I also tried a pistachio croissant during one visit, which was also yummy. I found street parking during both visits but I see other reviews saying there is 90 minute free parking at the lot behind the shop. Will definitely use that next time.

    Yummy coconut matcha drink and peaceful study spot! Loved my coconut matcha! Very refreshing, not too sweet, and the perfect blend of flavors. The inside has plenty of wooden tables and seating, while the back end tables have a couple of chargers. I like all the natural light from the windows, and WiFi's pretty good. The service was quick too.

    I visited Van Dyke Coffee last Saturday afternoon with my family. My brother ordered two Americanos. On a previous visit with My Mom in February, we tried the Dutch Latte, and I love how they serve a complimentary mini waffle cookie with each Dutch Latte order. Every coffee we've tried here has been delicious, and the staff is consistently friendly, which makes the experience even better. Another huge plus is the parking; the lot is very spacious and convenient. cf) There is a 90-minute parking limit posted in the parking lot.

    matcha duo + vanilla latte
    Nicole J.

    Every time we return to this place we are greeted by the owner himself. He is so kind and warm. I ordered the matcha duo for the first time and it was amazing. The perfect balance of sweet and earthy. My boyfriend got a vanilla latte which was delicious as well. Van Dyke is definitely one of our go-to's for coffee in ktown. Highly recommend!

    almond yuzu croissant and double mango matcha
    Lily P.

    Double mango matcha is more mango than matcha (i suppose that's what the name implies?). Almond yuzu croissant was interesting! I prefer a normal almond croissant but it was cool to try. There's plenty of seating although by lunch time most seats got filled up with people doing work or just chilling. There are outlets but only at the tables against the back wall. Got street parking right in front very easily!

    I was headed to dinner at the fabulous Holbox, but driving there from Hollywood at rush hour is…read morenever a good idea. So I looked for a coffee spot closer to the restaurant at which I could do some work. Alibi Coffee is only 10-15 minutes from the restaurant, which made it a good candidate--and off I went. It sits on the corner of Washington and Raymond Avenue. While there's one-hour parking on Washington, Raymond seems to offer unlimited parking (other than street cleaning days)--the friendly, helpful barista directed me over there. Inside, it's a tranquil, clean and comfortable environment that mixes contemporary touches with brick industrial vibes. I'm in my cream top era, so I decided to get their Trademark Cream Top Latte, which uses cold brew and house made cream with a hint of brown sugar. The drink was smooth and not too sweet and, all in all, extremely enjoyable. Next time, I might try the Salted Caramel Cream Top Latte. I was warned it was a bit sweeter, but I'd like to see for myself. Wi-Fi seems solid, and there are plenty of outlets (yay!), so this was a great work spot. I'd definitely return anytime I needed to be in this area.

    My supervisor loves this place and recommended it. I haven't been inside, so I can't comment on…read moreservice, etc. Honeycomb Sugar Latte: I like the idea that you can add the amount of honey crumble into the drink based on your preference. I ended up adding it all. Salted Caramel Latte: I tried this drink the second time around, and I love it. It will be my go-to drink from now on at Alibi Coffee. It's sweet and creamy.

You can also tell that a lot of care and thought went into designing this space. I'm obsessed with the blue tile and the perfectly coordinated retail wall. While I was here, I saw such a wide variety of customers, which I loved. You can tell everyone is welcome and that people genuinely feel comfortable spending time here. Lastly, I wanted to shout out the two employees working on 7/31 around 8:00 a.m ("BigVee" & a gentleman with longer hair who made my avocado toast) They were both so friendly and welcoming. It was early, so I would've understood if they were still waking up, but they were both bubbly, kind, and made my morning a little brighter. If a manager sees this, please let them know how amazing they are!
