Handles Coffee

The South Korean Coffee Culture Wave Hits LA | Eater LA

"In Los Feliz, Camel Coffee occupies the former Cafe Caravan space and presents a relaxed, rustic-cool vibe with vintage furniture, art, a beige brick exterior, prolific writing on wooden walls, and eclectic knick-knacks like animal manikins—a look curated with help from a team from Korea. The menu brings Camel’s signature drinks from Korea, including the Camel Coffee (an 8-ounce drink with two shots of espresso, milk, and a cream top), the MSGR multigrain misugaru shake, and the Le Tigre, a small, dense, buttery financier-like pastry; the Los Angeles outpost also offers unique items like the Camel Matcha and a plant-based rendition of the cream top made with coconut oil and a vegan sweetener, and an upstairs loft provides a cozy, intimate space for visitors, though lines can exceed two hours on weekends." - Cathy Park
