I have been here for years as a local. It is the most reliable coffee shop in the area in my opinions. The coffee is always delicious, the atmosphere is perfect for working, and the vibe is relaxing. Occasionally, you can hang and chat here but I feel it is more compatible for getting work done. I have never heard loud music in Sharp. Highly recommend!

The Americano was so smooth and complex. One of the best I’ve had.

Basic standard modern coffee shop where Gen z and younger millennials are studying/working, service is fine, coffee is just coffee, it's not winning any awards. For this reason I think it's overpriced. (7$) For regular size cup.

Quick to the point, they took away seating, cut hours, and I suspect they changed their coffee. I know businesses are adapting to the recession, however at the very least the searing should remain the same. It feels unwelcoming. I'm not sure what has changed about the coffee but the quality has dropped. At least fixing the seating will change my rating to a 4star.

Definitely a proper coffee shop… I’m a total coffee snob and they make delicious espresso drinks! The staff are friendly and the only time my drink was wrong they immediately & kindly remade it… It’s my favorite neighborhood coffee shop!

Their iced mint matcha is really good and tastes like a thin mint Girl Scout cookie. Perfect place to work out of. Good WiFi, ample seating and outlets.

Pleasant space and rich specialty lattes. Will likely return

The front desk waitress had an awful attitude. She didn’t bother to explain the coffee, acted annoyed the entire time, and made the whole experience unpleasant. It honestly felt like she was upset about having to work on Labor Day and decided to take it out on the customers instead. If staff can’t handle being polite and professional, maybe they shouldn’t be the ones greeting people.

The girl at the counter making drinks has a really bad attitude. Super unfriendly, makes the whole experience unpleasant.
Another finding in Ktown, with tricky parking given it is located right by the main road. The place has more dim lighting that I thought but still quite accommodating space for working with plenty of seats and some power outlets. I arrived mid afternoon and they only had very few pastries left on the showcase. Initially, I was eyeing their taiyaki, which was disappointingly not available as the machine was down. I ended up getting the chocolate custard muffin, which wasn't my favorite not to say it's bad but just not wow.
As per the barista's recommendation, I tried the Spanish latte, which was interestingly served with not only cinnamon powder, but also cinnamon stick inside the cup. I loved that I could feel the cinnamon hint but just at the right extent that it was not overpowering the entire coffee taste. It was a bit too sweet vs my preference, but overall I was still enjoying it.
I wouldn't say this would be my favorite place to go, but surely could be an option when being around the area.

Barista forgot my pour over order for 10 min. Then, when i went up to the counter, instead of admitting the mistake and taking the time to make the order, he rushed the drink in 2 minutes. Ended up with brown water, not coffee.

Stayed here to study with some friends, and it was a great place to study and socialize over some pastries and great tasting coffee. It was also very clean and organized 👌
And had charging ports ! Which is rare for cafes in LA. Very reliable. Personally had a Carmael Spice Iced Lattee

Light iced Americano with rather sour flavor. People working here, a chilling coffee shop.
