Rachel KMarch 19, 2015A pretty decent coffee shop with modern, clean decor and a rotating unique latte option. The breakfast pastries look delicious too.

Vic ZaudMay 30, 2015In addition to a Japanese-flair in everything here, this tea as well as coffee. Try the white miso croissant-y donut-y thing.

BaharehJanuary 21, 2016This is how Tea should be served! Travelled around LA to find a Gem like this! And a scrumptious Banana Nut Cup Cake is an addition to your wonderful Tea journey!

Cold brew is super smooth, with a light chocolate-y flavor — Latin American bean blend says the barista. Divine on a warm day!UpvoteDownvote
NmFebruary 25, 2016Don't miss if you love coffee .. The way of preparing the brewed coffee is just perfect .. Banana muffin is below average ..

The orange cardamom latte no longer exists (sadly). Best tip is to ask for what the signature drink is on the bar. Say yes to whatever the barista is serving even if it sounds crazy!Upvote1Downvote- AmateurConciergeJanuary 6, 2018Excellent coffee - both the Kyoto cold brew and the flat whiteUpvoteDownvote
Michael NeaseSeptember 30, 2014Their single source coffees are fantastic, and everyone says to try the lavender hot chocolate!UpvoteDownvote
Have to ask for a code for the Wi-Fi. Code is only good for 2 hours of use. Wi-Fi is very slow (test showed ~6 Mbps but practically feels way slower). Found an outlet behind the first cushioned bench.Upvote2Downvote

Selina StrattonSeptember 25, 2013Orange Thyme Cardamom Latte with Almond Milk.. Not too sweet, not too bitter, just right :)Upvote1Downvote- Best espresso in Santa Monica. Pre ordering almost every morning with Ritual.UpvoteDownvote
- Rachel KMay 12, 2015The black sesame lemongrass latte was so weird that is wasn't good. What I get for choosing the special latte of the day, huh?UpvoteDownvote
Luisa Falcão VazFebruary 15, 2015The lavender hot chocolate is good but nothing extraordinary. What i liked the most was the place, super cozy and quiet.UpvoteDownvote
Kyoto iced coffee! Demitasse perfectly extracts all the aromas and flavor tonalities out of the beans.Upvote5Downvote
- Annette O DJune 19, 2013Lavender hot chocolate with marshmallow is a must have - esp on nice cold mornings/evenings.Upvote2Downvote

R WilliamsDecember 21, 2013They put a large cube of hand toasted marshmallow in the hot cocoa, a sure kid pleaser!UpvoteDownvote

Yvette CruzMarch 13, 2017The menu is only available online which isn't great for a non-local first timer like me. Opted for reg iced latte and a H&C pastry which were both delicious! 😋 Real coffee! 🤗👍🏼UpvoteDownvote1

"Peach custard tarts are amazing. Made with a real, not canned peach half. The pastry is croissant dough that is crispy and the bottom layer breaks off leaving you a butter saturated sheet. So good"

"This one of the best farmers markets. They have meat, seafood, fruits, nuts, vegetables including some Asian vegetables. They also have nice plants. Some vendors take cards."
