“Friendly atmosphere and excellent food!“

“Staff here are very welcome pleasant and inviting. I always get the Margarita pizza.
You won’t be disappointed! I am a Bus Driver, so whenever I go inside, the staff usually will make sure, to ask me if I need anything.
Great and friendly service!!!“

“This meal was the highlight of our LA trip! I don’t know what kind of sorcery is afoot here but this little spot manages to be so much more than the sum of its parts. I felt so welcomed from the moment I stepped through the door and I liked that they have you order and pay before sitting down, it makes the dining experience more relaxing and low key. Loved how short and sweet the menu was, the chef has incredible restraint and a crystal clear vision. Every single thing we had was incredible, the best hk french toast and bolo bao I have ever had, and omg the scallion roll and dumplings. I don’t know what it is about this place but I’m still thinking about that meal days later. Also, the dining room made me feel like I was in a tvb serial from the early 90s which is the highest compliment.“

“This place is an absolute must visit! When we travel to LA each year we now have to make sure our hotel is within a stones throw of here for our coffee fix in the morning. The food and rhe service here are both phenomenal! Do yourself a favor and add them as a stop to your next WeHo jaunt.“

“Matcha Village has the most delicious desserts! We tried the Green Vine Cheesecake and the Fruit Box Cake. Both were fantastic! The consistency of the matcha for the cheesecake was perfection. I wish I could explain it better, but it was amazing. Can’t wait to go back to try some drinks and the Peking deck crepe!!!“

“One of my favorite restaurants ever. The meat was seasoned so expertly and was so tender. Mussel toast was INCREDIBLE. Their sourdough was out of this world. Staff was knowledgeable and guided us in trying many interesting wines. This place was amazing!“

“Love the ever changing seasonal menu drinks. It’s the brilliant mind of the owner, Frank La, who also happens to be the US barista champion this year. Love the fall pumpkin pie latte with the vivid cream latte being my favorite staple. The flavors here tend to be more subtle but deeper, so it’s not the slap-you-in-the-face high sugar content if that’s what you’re looking for. Love Be bright! Will definitely keep on coming!“

“Awesome place for brunch! Small restaurant. Looks like it a tight squeeze but you'll have enough space. Nicely decorated inside. Great vibe. Staff was very friendly. Really great service. The menu has a wide selection for breakfast/brunch. 7 items on the lunch menu. Recommend the chicken pesto panini ? so effin good ? good selection wine and only 2 choices of beer. There is non alcoholic drinks if you're not looking to have a good time? When signing in wait time was estimated around 45-64 min but we notice lots of people leave and were seated within 15 min. Keep in mind and don't be discouraged by the wait time when signing in. Parking can be hard as there is only street parking available. I parked 1 block over“

“Hot day. We had a relax time with amazing tea!!!“

“We are from Germany, travelling for weeks across the USA, this IS definetly the best breakfast we have had between Europe and the USA, everything pure and fresh, the Service more than friendly , Like coming Home, at least 5 Stars and more, everybody must try out“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“Great Vibes ~ cool 😎 peeps ~ delicious food“

“In A Nutshell:

-Yagul is a Oaxacan oasis.
-I found out about this place while exploring the neighborhood & noticed a lot of people popping in/out.
-Not only that the beautiful smell of Mexican food wafted into my nostrils, so I mentally bookmarked this spot.
-Not too long later, I came in for a nice breakfast.
-The Huevos Rancheros really hit the spot.
-The portion was not too big & everything tasted fresh, especially the beans & rice.

Overall, the service is very friendly & I liked the prices too.“

“Oh man. This place is fantastic. As you can see we tried a lot of food. The burritos were a big hit, as well as the tacos. But for me, the absolute must have - legendary item on this menu is the the Horchata Latte. Sweet baby Jesus it is good. Certainly top 3 for coffee drinks I’ve had in LA. It is soooooo dang good I would come back out of my way just for that latte. Man I would pay good money to know how to make a drink like that! Definitely will be back.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available too!“

“This is my favorite coffee shop in Los Angeles, bar none. The coffee is always consistent and delicious. Also the setup & branding is very cute.

The owner is personable and a joy to talk to every time I go to Rabbits Coffee. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I came here for breakfast, and we were looking forward to trying espresso and croissants.

Overall, we’re very pleased with their croissant. We thought it was the best croissant we had tried while visiting LA for a short period of time.

We ordered:
2 Espresso
1 Croissant
Total: $16.14 with tips

Price-wise, it was okay. The waiting time also was decent. Great coffee and fresh, tasty, and great quality of croissant. We noticed they served everything on the go or for takeaway instead of in a proper cup or plate. Other than that, satisfied customers. Happy to recommend 🤗😀“

“The food was excellent! The service was excellent also ! Nice place“

“Their matcha is definitely better than most if not all places in LA; the fragrance of the matcha tea flavour was nice and distinct thought not strong; still pretty creamy overall. The salted foam on the matcha spanner is delicious.
Their breakfast sliders were delicious, mostly because of the sauces and freshness.
Be prepared to wait in line 30-60+ mins on weekends, especially with the rhode collaboration happening this month. We waited just about an hour last weekend when the line ended right around the end of the block.“

“This might be my favorite new specialty drink in the city of LA. Georgia on my mind is awesome. I wanted it to be decaf, but they don’t have decaf coffee, so they made it as an iced decaf latte and added vanilla syrup and orange dust. Absolutely delicious.“

“A small restaurant selling delicious churros and that creamy, dreamy hot chocolate that pairs so well with the churros…a must try!

The reataurant has a small selection of savory food as well.

Parking: Situated on a busy street, so there’s street parking out front and some residential parking available, but please read the signs!!!“

“This is a rare gem in Koreatown quiet, cozy, and perfect for a relaxing time. The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home.
Their watermelon juice is absolutely delicious and a must-try! It’s hard to find such a peaceful spot in the area, and with such great service, this place has become one of my favorites.“

“The food was great and the service was excellent! Will definitely be back.“

“They needed better air conditioning and accurate time for pick up food was cold.“

“Wonderful experience very friendly“

“Fantastic coffee. espresso or drip, they know exactly what they are doing“

“Great place! Awesome service.“

“My daughter and I had a great lunch here. Great staff, and the menu is extensive, with much variety. She eats vegetarian, and had good choices.“

“WoW , the food , the view, Supernice Crew . Worth everything ! We come back . / Swedish Guests“

“I recently had the opportunity to discover a charming café that, until then, had gone unnoticed by me. Located in a quiet area, the café offers a cozy and pleasant atmosphere, ideal for those looking for a space to hold special encounters or business meetings.

From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by a decor that combines elegance and comfort, which contributes to creating an atmosphere conducive to conversation and reflection. The attentiveness of the staff is worth mentioning; they speak English and Spanish and their kindness and willingness to help make the experience even more pleasant. In addition, the variety of drinks and products offered responds to different tastes, which satisfies all visitors.

I would recommend this café“

“Great new neighborhood spot! The food is healthy and delicious. Lots of variety on the menu so everyone should have a few excellent choices!“

“Almond cake and coffee were just what I needed after walking the Highline.“

“Tastes great, not expensive, good service“

“Superb coffee. Super classy atmosphere, helpful staff & killer drinks & food. I have a dairy intolerance rn and you can get the chapati with chickpeas instead of the eggs that have milk in, super delicious. My bf got the chapati with the eggs and cheese and he he loved it as well.“

“Love the atmosphere, great place to try authentic Turkish dishes ( İskender , dolma , mercimek çorba, Lahmacun) 😋😋😋🇹🇷🧿“

“The drinks are so thoughtfully crafted and their potato chips are done fresh! The worker there was kind enough to offer me a reccomendation and she was incredibly understanding. I'll definitely be going again for that drink and those potato chips!“

“I love this place! Maybe one day, my state will have full recreation. For now, I will happily indulge while on vacation. Btw, their prices were LESS than what I paid for my medical. The staff was amazing and I hope I can come back again before I leave!“

“I can’t really rate the atmosphere since my food was delivered…I’m going to go visit the restaurant and give the food one more try…but this first go around I was not impressed by the food…the banana bread didn’t really have any banana taste to it and the chorizo croissant was very underwhelming with 2 pieces of thin chorizo sausage which looked and tasted like pepperoni….I gave the restaurant 5 stars because the lavender latte is one of the BEST coffees I’ve ever had…if this restaurant only sold coffee and nothing else they would still thrive….“

“I needed a place to have good coffee and work and this place was perfect. Friendly staff and they are cool with you pulling your laptop out and working. The sesame ice latte was really good and not too sweet. I also enjoyed the blueberry matcha - the mix of mild sweetness and bitterness complement each other perfectly. The almond croissant was amazing with a wonderful creamy filling. I’ll be back.“

“Very friendly group there. They had information available about all the cats and you could tell they loved where they worked. The cats are obviously well cared for and the facility is well maintained. I was impressed with the entire experience and will definitely be back.“

“excellent salad. thank you ben“

“little miss is my happy place. the staff is kind and attentive, drinks are delicious and food is made with love. the space itself is colorful and welcoming, and the moment you walk in you’re met with smiles and greetings from not just the staff but other cafe regulars! dogs are known by name and honored on the polaroid wall. so grateful for the little community that has grown here and highly suggest you step in as well! :)“

“Best breakfast sandwich of my life. I'm not exaggerating. I also love their salads (sesame ginger salad is amazing!) and smoothies. Everything is delicious with the highest quality ingredients. The owners are really sweet and hospitable. They go above and beyond to take care of you. Highly recommend.

Kid-friendliness: Great vibes for kids. It's my son's happy place.“

“Came here - it's great cafe and I see what the hype is about/why ppl rated it highly! It's a community cafe that feels like a nice purposeful place inside - the first time you visit, they'll let you have a coffee/drink on the house and then after that, you pay what you feel your drink and bill should be. They offer additional seasonal activities like art classes, creative things to do in this space - would def love to support it more and the coffee is great here! I got their seasonal/monthly latte: when harry met salty. Very good coffee! Hope this place sticks around and ppl support it! Can't wait to come back for another coffee or tea drink! If you go during prime time, there's a long line.“

“Nice folk. Refills on coffee! What?!!“

“A hidden gem you must try! We’ve passed this place so many times and finally got a chance to check it out. It is SO good! We were greeted by the friendliest staff who explained the menu and made great recommendations. She never made us feel rushed and we had such an awesome experience here. The food is great! Go try this place you won’t be disappointed.“

“Faboulous baked goods, great chef in the kitchen, some unusual delightful special breakfasts + lunches, excruciatingly noisy due to bad acoustics when busy.
2025: as good as ever, good coffee + espresso, great baked goods, good breads, outside seating, the take out salads are overpriced and not that interesting, always helpful staff. too bad they close for food at 3:oo. owner Hans has a couple of local high price restaurants: Janes in the MDR. good though.“

“Muy rico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“
