must go, very very good coffee 😁

I really enjoyed the tea and coffee here, and the breakfast food is good too. Got one of the breakfast sandwiches and it was good though a little greasy. I enjoyed the mujigae drinks and matcha. Recommend as a good coffee shop staple in Chinatown.

The corn latte was tasty, albeit outrageously priced. I wouldn’t try out the food based on the price points.

I love corn.

The food was so bad and cold
Natalie Maclay Tijerina
Not good at all. Got a cold brew and a strawberry matcha and I threw the matcha away. Literally yellow green and undrinkable . Service was weird and barista was literally on a call while making the drinks. Super unimpressed will not be back

This place is so cute! And the woman working here was very nice. It was really busy when I came, even though it was an off hour, and she was working by herself. Despite that, she was really efficient and I didn’t wait too long for anything I ordered.
The food is fine, but I think overpriced for what it is and the portion. The place is worth coming for for the drinks though. The sweet corn cream latte is amazing and I’m glad this place is here for whenever I’m in the area.

Very awful/disappointing first experience. We saw the 4.5 rating on Google and decided to go here. We sat down and ordered two coffees and they forgot about our order. The host was also giving customers an attitude when they were trying to use their hotel complimentary discount. We didn’t bother asking them for our order as they moved past us multiple times. Zero hospitality. The owner needs to figure out how to raise standards for his business.

An address given by the hotel for breakfast and it was great!!! Fair prices and above all excellent service A attentive and very friendly waiter The dishes are generous and original I recommend +++
Group of 5, got seated in the outdoor patio. Got the avocado toast, spicy chicken sandwich and Busan feast noodles. Avocado toast wasn’t that great, didn’t even finish the smoked salmon. Chicken sando was dry and not flavorful, bun was hard. Noodles were good tho. Pretty bummed considering the good reviews.

I started with the Mujigae, a chilled coconut water enhanced with a creamy topping, in Ube and Matcha flavors. Both were refreshingly different and beautifully presented with its rich, vibrant taste.
The Shrimp Sandwich was another highlight, featuring crispy fried shrimp with a kimchi ranch dressing, spicy balsamic, and fresh veggies on a soft brioche bun, enhanced with avocado.
I also had the Truffle Toast. The Kimchi Fried Rice, amped up with pork belly and a sunny-side-up egg, was a bold and satisfying choice.
Round K By Sol not only offers great food but also a cozy, inviting atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions.
Read the reviews! This place only serves tourists.
I drink an americano several times a week. One day I stop here and they didn't have small cups so I had to get a large which costs a bit more. Keep in mind that the difference between a small and large is just extra water. This occurred after many other occasions where either the store was closed (well past 10am) or I was blatantly ignored by the staff while trying to order. The store is also so loud at night sometimes that I can hear EVERYTHING from inside my apartment.
As a neighbor I have tried to give this place a chance on numerous occasions but I'm sad that it has not improved. I've been in the neighborhood for two decades and used to frequent the Allen St. location and was really excited it had reopened. You have lost a very loyal customer.

Finally had the chance to visit this spot, and I’m so glad we did. Stopped by for a quick bite, and the food and drinks didn’t disappoint—everything was delicious. The service was top-notch. We even got to meet the owner, who was really friendly. The patio was a nice touch, and both the place and the bathroom were spotless. Plus, they have heated toilet seat! Definitely planning to return soon.

Small cafe, just a note that they don’t have decaf
