Their Vietnamese coffee‐Einspänner Coffee ??is absolutely amazing. I got the Oreo shake for my daughter & couldn't leave without my Tiramisu...it's so rich & tasteful. You have to try this coffee shop if you ever visit K-Town. 10/10

The best of the best ♡◇
Do not go there or do business with them. All they are looking for is money and that’s a red flag for any place! They don’t offer anything special also! No service no food no drinks zerooo!!
This place is for sure on the expensive side of things. Came here for dessert with a friend. Their cheesecake is very good and super creamy. My favorite was the oreo cheesecake. Their coffee was good too. They offer boba like drinks but for the price, I wouldnt recommend it.

I stopped by here for a late night coffee. It's located in a shopping center with a small parking lot but requires payment. Thankfully, the attendant was nice enough to allow me to park for a few minutes to grab something. The place has decent amount of seating but was quite packed. Unlike many other coffee shops, you have to wait to be seated. They have an extensive menu with lots of desert and drink options. I ended up just getting a TKO coffee to go. Service was prompt and courteous. It was pretty pricy for an average size cup of coffee but tasted pretty good. It was sweet and creamy so definitely enjoyable if you like drinks on the sweeter side but didn't seem to have much caffeine. I think it's a great spot to hang out late night or grab late night desert.

TPO Coffee is spacious inside. They have many many tables for doing work or studying in the back dining area, and there's free wifi. The front area has short tables and comfy chairs but they are low. It's pretty inside.
Parking is available in the lot, but they charge $3. We decided to just get lunch next door at Han Eum by Chef Kang to make the most of it. There's some free street parking spots around the area though.
Coffee was good. Their menu is hella extensive. They have teas and smoothies as well as lemonade and shaved snow. Surprisingly they did not have espresso tonic on the menu. I got the strawberry injeolmi croffle, and it was sooo good. Yes, it was sweet, but wow it was amazing. (It also cost more than my coffee, jeez.) The cakes and macarons in the bakery case looked so good, but they were pricey imo. The yogurt parfait was $15.
There is a bathroom in the back, but you need to ask them for the code.

Very cute. Great vibe. Food/drinks are ok but pricy and small.
However, experience is ruined by staff that will interrupt meetings to move you, even if you’ve bought things. The valet will charge you even if the parking lot is empty and you parked yourself. It used to not be like this couple years back but now its just about packing in as many people as possible inside and opportunistic valet outside. I’ve given it multiple chances because I used to have a great experience there but its been like this every time for the past year

10$ for a iced caramel latte with oat milk is criminal
I like the coffees in the place, the ambiance is also nicce but the music is wayyy too loud, if they can lower it a bit would be nice. People go to coffee shops to study and work - not to be distracted by the loud music or perhaps change the music to something calmer.
Would recommend other Ktown cafés. TPO is a miss/miss. Outrageous prices ($13 for a slice of chocolate cake ?! $15-$20+ avg for their menu dishes). No variety when it comes to deserts, only one-bite pastries (expensive as well). Attitude of staff is neutral (understandable because they're always busy). Not nearly enough charging outlets so you have to get lucky with a good seat (big miss). Atmosphere is REALLY loud because it's always busy and it's difficult getting ones self comfortable to work. Really the only good things about TPO is that they close really late, the internet is fast, their pricey coffee drinks are delicious and the restroom is clean (and if you're lucky to get them, their furnished couch seats are really comfortable to sit in + and they're right next to the chargers). I visited this café 3 times. I tried to adjust but I did not enjoy any of those experiences. Won't be coming back.

TLDR: OVERPRICED DRINKS WITHOUT COFFEE. BAD SERVICE. GO TO YEEMS, GO TO RNY , CAFE DE MAMA, ANY OTHER SHOP THAN THIS SAVE YOUR MONEY.
When I pull up to a coffee shop and order an Einspanner Latte, I expect coffee to be in it. I ordered a Matcha Einspanner to go. Because correct me if i'm wrong......latte isn't a latte without and espresso shot. A DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS FOR OATMILK? I get we are in LA, but never ever have I been to a coffee shop that charges that much for a milk alternative. Might as well go to Erewhon if I want to get ripped off like that.
Then your desserts, 26 dollars with tax, no tip. For a Strawberry cake that was disgusting. A cheesecake that tasted like the recipe was pulled off the betty crocker box. One bite in and I could not take another.
Also you werent busy at 6 on Monday, the cleanliness behind the bar was bad.
The atmosphere looks cool from the outside, but the weird rush to greet guests to do a bait and switch on ordering drinks in order to sit at a table is wild. 4 dollars for parking in that cramped parking lot too. Look if your rent is too high, move to a different location. Too much labor??? Maybe the owner could be more present to see that their business is failing. How you guys are in business with the last two months of 1 star reviews is crazy.
I will not be going back, there are plenty of other well managed and fair priced Coffee Shops in LA and just in Korea Town in general.
