"This blue-tiled coffee shop on the top floor of the Century City mall is the first IRL concept for influencer/entrepreneur Emma Chamberlain’s coffee brand, and as you'd expect, the fit-check crowds are already out in full force. The menu is mostly classic cappuccinos and lattes, with an option to get them “Emma’s Way” with almond milk and dairy-free creamer. But since you’ll likely be giving up part of your day to wait in line with Century City high schoolers, better to get one of the signature drinks, like the iced strawberry matcha or a salted caramel cold brew. Both remind us of drinks from Starbucks on a good day, but that’s fine—you’re paying $9 for the scene rather than a fancy pour-over anyway." - sylvio martins
