A very nice and cute Coffee Shop with a really good coffee. Just had a sand coffee and the taste was really good. The interior is very simple but yet comfy.
Nothing crazy fancy or pretending to be something luxury just to be able to overcharge for the coffee. That’s what I like about coffee shops.
It’s a new, cute business in LA that you can see is focused to provide good quality product.

A gem!! We need more places like this in the Valley! Middle Eastern inspired coffee and pastry flavors and spices.

This place is so cool
We ordered Fig Vanilla Matcha Latte and it was so delicious.
The space is small and seating is limited.
It gets busy so be patient and don’t go if you are in a hurry.
It is pet friendly

Very tasty beverages and the pastry case looked delicious but I didn’t partake today. Cute and intimate setting. Limited seating.

Very disappointed. Got the Yala latte and a 12oz ice latte. Worse than mid. The yala was somehow lukewarm? Cardamom being your base cream top option is very strange and it wasn’t good. How do you make sugar and cream taste bad? Now look I know all of these drinks are mostly milk that’s why I get a 12oz not 16oz I should at least taste some coffee but no I felt like a giant baby drinking a cup of milk. Waste of time and money. Also mid customer service and weird tiny interior.

I’m posting this review after coming to this coffee shop 5 times. The first two times I came here the staff were friendly and the drinks were pretty decent. It’s only after having two experiences that were identical that I decided to post this negative review, in hopes that the owners of this shop see this and make some changes. My order is an iced cortado with a cream top ($1.50 extra charge). The issue came when I had ordered this drink for the 3rd time and it was filled to the top of the cup, upon asking for a lid the staff gave me the lid and the drink lost about half of the cream top I just paid for due to how high they filled the small cup. The barista stared at me blankly as the contents of my drink spilled across the counter. Can i have a napkin to wipe this up? Sure, as she tossed me a musty wet rag. I left disappointed. The next time, expecting a different outcome I asked for a larger cup, not more drink, just a cup that wouldn’t lose the contents of my drink. They happily obliged. Fast forward to the next incident. I asked for a larger cup, explaining the previous incident: the cashier happily explained that she did not have the power to provide me with a larger cup, because the higher ups would “get mad”. The manager came by to explain that they have a policy on making no alterations or changes to signature drinks. I asked, is my order a signature drink? No, she blankly answered. don’t worry, we will handle it. The solution? Give me less than I ordered so it wouldn’t spill. After coming back in today, hoping I would get what I paid for, the cashier agreed to my larger cup request. The manager then secretly switched the bigger cup she picked up for a smaller one. This time? The cup half full. When I asked for a full drink, she argued she couldn’t do that. This is how it’s done here.

From someone who is extremely familiar with coffee shop pricing, profit margins and operating costs. This seems like a hard stance to take. Undercut the expectations in order to save money (10 cents) on a $7+ coffee. I’d expect this from Starbucks, not an independent chain.

Disappointing to say the least.

Parking is a real challenge here. There are only a few small side tables inside that are just big enough to sit on. The staff’s service is also quite unfriendly.

I no longer live in the area but always try to squeeze in a visit when I’m around. The evil eye coffee is my favorite, but everything is top notch. The team is lovely so happy to see them blow up on TikTok. Well deserved! 👏🏽

Enjoyed my cortado here. It was tasty. I also got the cream which was flavorful. They also serve Turkish coffee in traditional preparation way. The atmosphere is okay, though minimal style and not much inside.

Coffee was good. Pretty LA typical price wise. The atmosphere was just not great. Very small. Very very loud with everyone shouting to be heard.
