Lotus & Bean (formerly AK Fresh Roast)

The 34 Best Coffee Shops For Getting Work Done In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"AK Fresh Roast is a Vietnamese coffee shop inside San Gabriel’s Blossom Market Hall where you’ll find really good iced coffee, plus unique items like pandan lattes and croissant waffles (aka “croffles”) topped with pork floss. If you want to get a little work done, the secret here is to head up to the food hall’s spacious second floor, which is basically an unofficial study area, complete with wifi and outlets. Once you’ve procrastinated enough, head downstairs to one of the market’s dozen food vendors." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
