About Time

Súper súper chill, upstairs seating tons of seats when you walk in too. Outlets for all devices, loved that. There’s a beautiful patio with plants. Music was lax. 10 out of 10 study spot. Everyone was working so hard in here visitors and servers also loved the lighting fixture in the middle super cool. It was busy but it didn’t feel overwhelming. Downside, there were a few flies in there, but I think it’s because it’s summer?

overall 4/5 rating! food was really good and tasty, we got the salmon bagel and avocado egg toast, both recommended by the staff. for drinks we got the matcha einspanner and strawberry matcha ade and hazelnut latte, they were all good. pricey for what we got. we came around brunch time and huge parking available, we got called out to fix our parking, the markings are hard to see, they need to fix their parking lot. service is pretty good, just that no one really checks up on you or goes around the store to clean tables (rely on people courtesy to clean up after themselves), atmosphere it can be dark on some places, need more lighting recc: lower prices, fix parking lot, more lighting, staff going around checking up on customers :) staff can be more friendly

Basque cheesecake is amazing! Great place to study, although it might be a big noisy and also not many outlets for charging. Parking lot next to the cafe fills up early. Limited 2hr street parking available nearby. There is a second floor seating area but bad airflow/ventilation in there.

Lovely coffee shop with lots of lights, fun, and tables for studying/working. Sweet and savory dishes are there too! I can’t complain. I had: 1. Corn latte - with almond milk 2. Vienna einspanner 3. Super tuna 4. Avocado toast 5. Ube cheesecake 6. Choco hazelnut slice

I came here because Instagram said it was a coffee hotspot in LA with plenty of seating and a huge parking lot, but there wasn’t a single parking spot—I circled three times. Inside, it didn’t feel like a café at all since there was no conversation, just people working on their laptops taking up all the seats. There wasn’t anywhere to sit, and even the people in front of us couldn’t find seats, so we ended up standing while drinking. The staff were friendly. I ordered an Einspänner and an iced Americano, but the “iced” Americano barely had any ice and was lukewarm, which was disappointing. The atmosphere felt more like a library, so I wouldn’t recommend it.

7/2/2025 - This is my second time to have drinks and cakes here. The casadia is so good (5 stars), and the ambience indoor and outdoor is relaxing while pop music is playing. The store provides free WiFi access and parking.

What I got: -Matcha einspanner -Hazelnut latte -Smoked salmon bagel -Tuna salad sandwich -Earl gray cake — Discover About Time Cafe in Koreatown, LA. Enjoy unique coffee and pastries at this cute spot with great vibes! Free large parking space. Was not busy when I came at 11 am on Tuesday. Saturday can be busy and no parking. They have street parking and meters. Lots of table to get your study done. Amazing coffee and matcha tea.

DRINKS: I got an iced decaf lavender latte, and with tip it came out to $9 which is on the higher end. It was basically a "large" sized drink, however, and tasted great. It took about 10 min for it to be made during a non-busy time (1 person ahead of me in line). AMBIANCE: there is an upstairs and downstairs with seating, although it can fill up quick with people studying. Outlets seem to be plentiful, and the bathroom was gorgeous and clean. There are signs all over the cafe including their wifi password that reminds people they must buy "one drink per person" which is a bit more overt than most cafes. PARKING: I got free parking but it seems after 5 or so they start to charge $5. The lot is not well-painted as others have mentioned and it is open-air, no garage or covered. Overall I would give All Time 3.5 stars, rounding down to 3 stars. There are many places in Ktown to work from with the same quality of drinks and a little less $$ spent. However, it does the job if you need space for friends and a place to study all day, all night.

I love that I'm discovering lately more and more cafes in Koreatown and each time I fall in love with each one. Gives me more reason to support these small businesses rather than the greedy, corporate coffee shops. This coffee shop has free private parking which is very unheard of as far as Koreatown is concerned. It has a lot of seating. Some outside seats along Berendo but a lot more inside and in the second floor. It's pretty quiet and perfect for students to study and professionals to do their work. Fast and friendly staff especially Phoebe. She treats every customer as long time friends giving you a valid reason to come back. Food and drinks are really good. We had the ube latte and tiramisu einspanner for drinks. We also had egg sandwich and smoked salmon bagel. Omg, both drinks and sandwiches were amazingly good. If it's nearer to where I live, I can come here every day.

Overall experience - 8/10, I went on a Monday during the noon timer and ther was a bunch of people studying at the cafe. They had a great downstairs and upstairs study section with plenty of spots to sit and relax to study. It also had an outside area in the back that was also good to sit when it is cool. It can get a bit crowded on the weekend. The good part is that they have their own parking lot with ample parking which can get difficult in the LA K-Town area. Food/Drinks - I got my regular order of a matcha espeiner which was decent large size for the price. The matchca could have had a stronger flavor and the espeiner topping was wonderful tasting. I also ordered a bacon and onion pastry that was pretty good tasing, but a bit on the more higher price. The flavor was good and had a nice balance of onion and bacon flavor. The pastry was nice and flacky. I would get one of their pastries again. Also one of the items that I liked from their cafe is the Earl Grey cake that I have purchased previously that I did not order during this visit. It was anice combination of early grey tea flavor for the cake and frosting. It was light, and not overly sweet. Overall experience - I would come back for the quiet and nice ambience to study and get work done. I love how they have free parking at this location. The drinks are not as bad as other say and were decent. The coffee shop was a cute overall which was a perk for me to return.

This spot has two levels of seating with plenty of natural light, making it the perfect place to hang out or get some studying done. They serve a wide range of drinks, bagels, sandwiches, and desserts. They offer FREE PARKING with a huge lot just for customers which makes this place even better! I have been obsessed with Einspanners recently, and I like how they have a heavy cream foam on top! It makes the drinks 10x better! -Vienna Einspänner -Matcha Einspänner (This one is my favorite) -Kyle's Bagel (egg chees and bacon) -Salmon Bagel (salomonw with spinach) - Earl Grey Cake (popular flavor and dessert) The employees are super friendly and I think this is spot to check out if in the ktown area.

Came here to work and it was perfect for that. There were lots of places to sit. not necessarily all by an outlet though fyi. Dalgo latte was alrighttt. I liked the strawberry matcha better! Strawberry syrup/jam is made in-house. FAB bagel had rly good fig jam but sometimes felt like too much arugula or too much apple. Bacon egg cheese bagel sandwich you can't go wrong with. The dedicated parking lot was no charge on a Friday afternoon

I stopped by About Time shortly after they opened and was happy to find there were no lines. I ordered the Oreo einspanner and a plain cream cheese bagel, unfortunately both left me disappointed. I was told it would be a bit of a wait for my bagel since they were waiting on their chef to arrive. I figured maybe they were making the bagels fresh or something. After 15 minutes the staff member let me know he'd just toast it himself. Apparently the bagel was there the whole time, they just held off without the "chef" which I thought was pretty funny. Once my order was ready, I tried my Oreo einspanner which was pretty underwhelming. It tasted like a regular coffee, and the Oreo flavor was nonexistent. All in all, this was a pretty ehh spot. There wasn't anything memorable about my visit, and I don't think I'd come back.

Very cozy and comfortable care with ample study space! There are multiple tables and quite a few outlets (however, there aren't too many). A bit of a concrete jungle vibe and lots of nice snacks & drinks. I love that they have a parking lot right outside too since finding parking in LA tends to be a huge struggle. The cookie croissant was heated up and was delectable but so heavy! I love how warm and soft the chocolate chips were. The croissant part is more similar to a Costco croissant versus the typical flaky and crispy croissant. The strawberry cream donut didn't really have much strawberry besides the singular one on top. It was fluffy and creamy, but just sadly lacking in strawberry flavor. Empanada was good but I don't remember much else about it. Quesadillas were good and hit the spot comfortably. The uber einspanner was delicious and the coffee taste wasn't too overpowering. The strawberry milk was delicious and fresh. We first ordered and then seated ourselves. This place is self-serviced and we bussed our dirty plates right before we left.

7/2/2025 - This is my second time to have drinks and cakes here. The casadia is so good (5 stars), while two drinks are 4 stars. The ambience of indoor and outdoor is relaxing while pop music is playing. The store provides free WiFi access and parking. This is one of the big 2-floor cafes in Los Angeles.

Free parking in the back during lunch. The atmosphere is just like any other coffee shop. It's busy, , bright, clean, and quiet. The prices are a little too high for the quality of the drinks/food, in my opinion. I got a smoked salmon bagel ($15) that was okay, nothing special, an iced yuzu peach green tea ($5) which originally comes unsweetened but I asked for sweetener, and a matcha cream cheese cookie which was lacking flavor other than sugar (it tasted more like pandan than matcha). You can't taste the yuzu at all and can get a slight hint of the sweetener. A friend bought a slice of multiple cakes: earl grey, coffee cheesecake, Dubai chocolate cheesecake, and chocolate cake. They were all moist and pretty good (I'm not sure about the pricing). Service was slow. We walked in when no one was waiting for an order. It took 15 minutes to get our sandwiches. My main issue with this coffee shop is that there are rules everywhere. Maybe it's to maintain some order and ensure everyone in the shop is a customer, but it's weird to have a required rule where each person needs to have a minimum of 1 order. Then there's the infamous "no outside food or drink" which I fully understand, but a friend of mine was rudely kicked out for bringing a Starbucks croissant one day even though she bought a drink here. Lastly, patio says, "no rearranging the furniture" which is weird considering all the seating were preferable of groups of 2-3 and we were a group of 6 trying to be seated together. Any seats inside that could hold us were taken by single people with laptops taking the whole table (which is out of anyone's control). Overall, I'd go back if I really wanted the coffee cheesecake. But I would generally avoid it because of pricing and weird rules. To be honest, I think people only like this place cause it gives an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere.

This is such a cute, clean, and spacious cafe that is the perfect spot for studying/working! Came here for breakfast and got the purple yam mochi and beef empanada, both were yummy! I wish the mochi did have a bit more stretch/a longer pull to it but it was still a great option and was good warmed up. I got the corn latte (iced only offered) which came with a delish cracker on top - my fav part of the drink lol. I thought the drink was pretty good although I thought there was a bit too many corn chunks/grits in it for my liking. The flavor was definitely there and was creamy though! I'd come back to try a different drink and get other snacks! They have a pretty large selection of goodies (sandwiches, bagels, croissants, empanadas, mochi bread, etc.) They have a parking lot and metered street parking as well.

The cutest 2-story late night cafe! I was in the area and needed a place to grind in the evening and stumbled upon this place. Lots of seating options with outlets but it was lowkey packed. There was even a cute photo booth! I was was worried since the yelp reviews were low, but my matcha einspanner and grilled onion & bacon danish satisfied my cravings! Although the matcha kind of reminded of those prepackaged hmart maeil matcha lattes (which I fw in a pinch but maybe it should be better than that since im paying more lol) so it was a tad on the sweeter/milkier side. So the taste of everything was a ~3.75 but the vibes bumps it up a bit!

The crowd at About time is always showing up. I went by to catch up on my reading and the place is set up with different seating options and plenty of space. The shop is active (even late in the night). The tea options are wide with both caffeinated and non caffeinated. If you're the area it worth checking out! Theres also parking a parking lot (not sure if it's paid).

This coffee shop seems great for people who work remote, they have a ton seating on twin floors. They sadly had none of the savory items available bc we were too early. We shared a basque cheesecake that was so delicious. My dalgona coffee was just aight. Street parking outside. This is a decent coffee shop, nothing crazy tho.

Lovely coffee shop with lots of lights, fun, and tables for studying/working. Sweet and savory dishes are there too! I can't complain. I had: 1. Corn latte - with almond milk 2. Vienna einspanner 3. Super tuna 4. Avocado toast 5. Ube cheesecake 6. Choco hazelnut slice

I come here pretty often to study, by myself and with a friend. They have a parking lot, but the lines are very faded so it's hard to tell if you're in the lines. No complaints because it's free though. I like to arrive around when the open because I'm guaranteed a seat. The upstairs area is a little quieter. I've tried working downstairs and even with headphones, I feel like it's too loud. Seats tend to fill up around 12 PM. There's a decent amount of outlets around the seatings, which is nice because you're not fighting for a specific seat with the only outlet. The drinks are decent, I wouldn't say they're out of this world/amazing. It's good enough to keep drinking while completing work. Food, I usually get the Kyle's Bagel and I love it. Depending on what they are serving for the day in the bakery area, I'll sometimes get it. They stop serving their menu food items around 2 PM. I tend to stay there from anywhere between 4-8 hours. My study buddy loves this place too.

Wonderful service and the iced hibiscus & blueberry tea was delicious. The inside was nicely decorated with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

About Time I found a place like this! This cafe really reminded me of the cafes in Korea. They have a quieter study/work area upstairs or plenty of seating downstairs/outside. Definitely more pricey for speciality drinks and adding on any syrups or substitutions. Plenty of options for drinks and food! Service didn't really stand out to me with this place. Kind of just chill vibes from the staff, not super friendly. There's a lot with free parking depending on the time/day, I think? It does get busy or tight with people's poor parking abilities (sorry but it's true lol). Overall, good time and good vibes!

Great place to study! The coffee is meh. The interior is nice. Many seats and tables and a little outdoor area to chill. Tall ceilings. Open late! Great for late night coffee runs or grind sessions. Saw it's dog friendly! Couple pets here and there.

came here for some late night coffee & snack it was really good! I ordered the tiramisu einspanner and it was so good! Not too sweet and had the perfect coffee strength to it. The chicken empanada was also really tasty with chimichurri sauce. They definitely could be a little more generous with their sauce tho as my cup was only filled like a quarter of sauce. Other than that though, the place is really big and has seating for all different kind of vibes. Indoor/downstairs had a grind kind of feel, outdoor patio was really cute/chill, and then they also had an upstairs loft that was really quiet and super serious. Definitely would come back :)

I love coming to About Time! I fell in love with the spacious interior and drinks ever since the first time I came here. It can get pretty busy here but there's lots of seatings including upstairs and also outdoors too. My favorite drinks are the matcha einspanner, strawberry matcha milk and strawberry milk. I recently tried their food menu and I was impressed! The smoked salmon bagel and super tuna melt sandwich was so good and delicious, it had me drooling. I also like their matcha cake! About Time is such a cute Korean cafe with beautiful aesthetics!

I love this place. Great for working and free parking. Very spacious. Matcha einspanner was super good. It's not that sweet. I even found a Photo Booth inside.

Came here to grab a drink with a friend and we then hunkered down to do some work. There were plenty of parking spots in the back lot and had no problems with wifi. The staff were friendly and got my drink out very quickly, which was just your average latte that's slightly on the pricier side ($8-9) but nothing too shocking. The downstairs area is very spacious and has plenty of seating, though limited outlets. There's also a more secluded upstairs area and a cute patio for when it's nice out.

About time was recommended to me by my work friend. Ironically I already had it bookmarked. This cafe is aesthetically pleasing, spacious with lots of seating, and it even has a Photo Booth. The menu was filled with lots of goodies, but I chose the chicken quesadilla, crookie, and a caramel macchiato with almond milk. My friend had the matcha einsplanner & an almond croissant. The goodies were tasty. Decadent but not overwhelmingly so. I enjoyed my time here. I will likely return when I resume my studies, so I can munch while I get my work done.

Stumbled upon this cafe after the candlelight concert across the street. It was pretty busy for 10 pm! Lots of young people hanging out or studying, working on their laptops etc. I liked that they had interesting bakery items. The corn mochi bread was my favorite. It even looks like a roasted corn on the cob! Would definitely purchase again. The cashier recommended the yam mochi bread but I didn't enjoy that one as much so I'd say skip that unless you are crazy about yams. Service was great. Cashier offered cup of ice to go with a bottled drink we bought. She knew what we needed even before we knew we needed it! It made the drink much more enjoyable.

This is the cafe of my dreams!!! The aesthetics here are THE BESTTTTT. The einspanners were great! The ube one had a nice nutty flavor while my friends matcha was sweet and refreshing. My only comment would be do replace the bubble lids pleaseeee lol They have a parking lot but even tho I came on a random Thursday, it was full. It seems a lot of people camp out here to study or work.

This was a pretty good stop! The employees are so nice and the service is quick (granted I stopped in around 9PM on a weekday so it could be different on the weekend or something). I tried the pineapple mango-ade and the earl grey cake. While others have mentioned that the cake was dense, to me it read like a poundcake. On top of that, the flavor of earl grey wasn't overwhelming - in my opinion, the perfect balance. The pineapple mango-ade was basically fruit puree in sparkling water but I couldn't be mad at it. The fruit kind of reminded me of the same fruit that is in "fruit on the bottom" yogurts, which I happen to quite enjoy. It is loud in here and the wifi wasn't awful but certainly not good for more than like quick internet searches and writing on a google doc. Overall, I'd come back, even if just to pick up a slice of the earl grey cake.

I've been to this place a few times because they have their own parking plaza and it's near impossible to find another cafe with free and accessible parking in LA. It's a good cafe to study or hang out with friends due to the modern vibes and spacious interior. However, I've never really enjoyed any drinks that I've gotten here nor did I like the pastries. The drinks are not that good. BUT I love the ambience, so I'm giving it four stars.

LOVELOVELOVE everything about About Time!!!! Located in the heart of LA Ktown, this Korean coffee shop has its own parking lot and is located in a beautiful historic building. The atmosphere is amazing- when you walk in you literally feel like you've stepped into Seoul! Super modern and chic decor and vibe-y Kpop playing sets the perfect soothing scene. The menu has tons of choices, from made to order drinks, sandwiches, and plenty of baked goods. I've yet to try anything I didn't love! Service was super helpful and friendly! Like anywhere else in Ktown, outside food and drink are not allowed. To me that's common sense but I guess there was a social media post complaining about that- just don't be tacky and try to but cake from another coffee shop and sit here because it's nicer than where you were before! Anywho, there's also branded merch and plenty of tables both inside and outside! The next time you're in Ktown, this is the perfect place for tea/coffee and a pastry! It's now officially my go-to when in LA!

i brought my reusable insulated container to my first visit. they refused to fill it and said it was against the health and safety code even though section 114121 specifically allows it. if it's the business' anti-sustainability policy that's one thing, but to lie about the reason is really insulting. there's a parking lot, but it was full. i parked at a meter. the matcha is $8. it's ok. large space with indoor and outdoor seating.

Parking is free at their parking lot but most likely it will be all full. Luckily I was able to find a spot on a Sunday afternoon. The interior is beautiful and they even have a 2nd floor for seating. However, it was difficult to find an empty table. This cafe is more for studying than having a conversation with a friend. Majority of their customers were on their laptops studying or working. They do have a bench and a few seats outside the cafe as well. I wasn't too impressed with their matcha einspanner. I felt that the cream overpowered the matcha and the matcha wasn't strong enough. Overall, cute cafe. Make sure to come early if you are planning on using this space to work and to snag a parking spot. Matcha einspanner is mid.

4.5! i was skeptical bc of the reviews at first but i really liked my visit here! the place is gorgeous! with lots of seating but it does get very packed even then. i really liked my coffee! i just got regular iced mocha and subbed for almond but it tasted very good. i also got a mochi chestnut and that was also nice and soft and warm. they have lots more pastries, desserts, and savory items so im looking forward to going back. their wifi though really suck. reviews are right about that. you can connect still but it disconnects sometimes and then takes awhile to connect again. and the kain thing too is that a LOT of sites are somehow restricted so you might not even get to do your work/study with their wifi. also got bit by mosquitoes a couple times. staff is nice though! really pretty place and it's not IMPOSSIBLE to do work, but you have to be patient lol. would still go back!

I had gone to About Time after catching a late night football game and been back maybe one other time. In my opinion, the best thing about About Time is the large free parking lot. If you're able to come a bit early, you might be able to snag a table to study/work at (there's also an upstairs). It's one of the larger storefronts compared to other cafes in the area. The ambiance at the cafe is a pretty hustling and bustling environment so I would say it's better suited to catch up with friends rather than be productive. The wifi situation wasn't the best either from my experience (and from what I've heard) so it would be good to have a hotspot. Regarding the menu, I wanted to try their matcha but they ran out by the time I had gotten there. I'm not a big fan of ade but if you are, the drinks are pretty refreshing.

I drove 30 minutes out to go here to go Labubu hunting with my daughter. The parking is easy because they have a lot. If the lot is full, you can easily find meter parking on the street. This place is such a cute, modern coffee shop. I saw a lot of college students working on their laptops. There's plenty of seating, outside, and upstairs as well. There also is a cool photobooth! The staff was very nice and professional. He owner (I'm assuming) was such a nice guy, he was very kind. I can see why this place is thriving. I was happy with what I purchased: the hazelnut latte, strawberry milk, and a chocolate croissant. Their "to-go" packaging is nice and mostly paper products. Their "for here" trays and styling are impeccable. I appreciate this place so much. I will try and come back whenever I can.

Super cute space that's perfect for studying or a quick coffee chat with friends. Staff is always helpful and the owner likes to hide little figurines in different spots everyday - acts as a small scavenger hunt. There's also a photobooth so there's quite a few things to do besides grabbing coffee and cake. The basque cheesecake paired with their strawberry matcha is my favorite! Can't resist stopping by and bringing some cake home everytime we're in the area.

About Time in K-Town is such a unique cafe--it's two stories with an outdoor seating area, which gives you plenty of space whether you're looking to chill with friends or get some work done. This has become one of my favorite go-to spots for quality drinks and cute desserts. I tried the strawberry cream donut and it was super creamy and rich--definitely worth trying. The whole place has an aesthetic vibe that's perfect for taking photos, but it's also a surprisingly great study spot. It's fairly quiet and the music isn't too loud, which makes it easy to stay focused if you're working. The baristas and staff are very accommodating if you want to adjust your drink, which I always appreciate. Plus, they usually have a parking lot with plenty of free parking, which is a huge bonus in K-Town. Overall, great drinks, good vibes, and friendly service. Five out of five.

I rarely write reviews unless I need to, and I feel like this place needs to change. Obviously About Time has had a change in its quality, in its service, and in its actual space. For starters, I understand it's important to have a valet service for restaurants in this area. Otherwise, people would just park and walk to other places, but their "valet" is less of a service and more of a ticket type of thing where they don't handle your car, you just really pay to park and some guys give you a ticket. However, for today there wasn't any valet and the parking lot was noticeably more packed, yet not a lot of people were inside. Besides the need for a valet, the inside, the service, and the drinks all feel like they're riding out their fame from the Korean cafe hype and only have old word of mouth keeping it alive. I will give credit, it's open later than most places, but for reasons I'll go into, it's not worth it unless some changes are made. The baristas were kinda just standing there twiddling their thumbs when we walked in, the wifi is always horribly slow and has crazy restrictions on specific websites, and some that don't even make sense! Sites like archive.org where some students could use a site like that for their homework, or the casual person could just want to watch their show and strangely Hulu is restricted; but for some reason Disney+ isn't? Have some consistency! And finally, the most critical part is their drinks. $8 drinks in LA are common, but this just feels wrong. Many people have commented on their quality of drinks taking a hit, and while I wasn't there during their "prime", any average joe could tell their drinks aren't worth the 8 dollars. Premade matcha? Overly sweet Ube Einspanner? Texture inconsistencies? Water-down beverages? This place is more inconsistent with their drinks more than ShareTea. Their cakes are good though. 12 bucks is insane.

The inside and exterior is pretty cozy and welcoming. It is a great place to bring your laptop to study/work because of the ambiance. Finding free parking was difficult but there is a parking lot next door that does valet (at night). The Creme Brûlée donut tasted average and shouldn't cost $9. I had more expectation for it and it fell short. The matcha latte tasted great and the turnover on drinks were fast.

We stopped by About Time late at night since they're open until 1am most days. The ambiance is pretty cute, and it seems like a good spot to study or get some work done. We ordered the tiramisu einspanner and the strawberry matcha milk. The drinks came out fairly quickly and service was good, but honestly, they didn't taste that great. I don't think we'd come back for them.

I learned about this cafe from my kids, They follow the trends and it's popping up that if you go to this cafe in Ktown they hide ( Labubu ) around so you can find them. I went looking to find them, after not finding any I ask the guy behind the counter he said they had all been found but if I bought something I could get some Anime toys. I bought a 12 dollar chicken sandwich on a small brioche bun the same size as a kings Hawaiian roll. The bread was great and the chicken salad itself had a good flavor but I'm simple I could have done with out the grape half's and slivered Almonds was not needed. The place was nice plenty of free parking. About time is two levels do plenty of d as pace to eat, drink and socialize,but come ready to pay its not cheap for this photo social media location This place is not for me but it's worth try

We visited About Time on a Saturday at 10:20 PM, and it was packed! Many people were studying or working, creating a lively yet focused atmosphere. We loved the aesthetic and how spacious the café was, but unfortunately, all the indoor seats were taken. We ended up sitting outside, and to our surprise, it was right next to a bar playing cool music. Impressively, you couldn't hear the bar noise from inside the café--definitely a nice touch! Now, onto the drinks! We ordered the Matcha Einspanner and the Ube Einspanner. The matcha had a great flavor, though I personally would have preferred it unsweetened. The ube drink was also good, but we wished the ube flavor was more pronounced. That said, we still enjoyed the overall coffee taste. Parking was super easy with valet for $5, and since they close super late, it's a perfect spot for night owls. Overall, we'd definitely come back if we're in the area--just hoping to snag a seat inside next time!

Super cute spot, came here after having dinner next door. We decided to get some desserts to go home. I got the Dubai cheesecake and have to say it was good. I also got a matcha cookie and that was so soft and delicious. I can't speak for the drinks, but they do look good. I also loved how they had a photobooth there and it was a pretty interesting one. Also figured out that if you scan the QR code on the photos, you can see the video it took of you.

Can you bring kids? Ehhhhhhhhhh A lot of younger crowd Laptops and lattes is the theme here They do have a parking lot Upstarts is small and you def would have to get there early to reserve a spot Def will be back

About time I finally checked out @abouttimecafe in Koreatown! This Korean cafe nestled in a beautifully restored historic building might be one of my new favorite study spots, with two floors of plentiful seating and tables to work at and even a large FREE parking lot. Their extensive menu features their signature Korean einspanner lattes, coffee, teas, ades, pastries and freshly prepared brunch dishes. Personally, I surprisingly really enjoyed all the food items I ordered, but I thought the drinks (especially the ube einspanner) were too sweet for my personal liking (although you can probably ask to customize it).

Matcha einspanner & Lavender matcha: 2/5 for both drinks. These two matches reminded me of the old Starbucks matcha lattes, unfortunately. Considering the price, taste, and quality, I wouldn't recommend this matcha to anyone wanting a matcha. Just for those two matchas, with no milk substitutes, it was $20... On the brighter side, I do think these drinks would only be good if you want a decent place to study. Service: Helpful & efficient, not judgmental at all hehe Ambience: Very large place with free parking lot at night (supposedly my friend says there valet during the day). There are a lot of seats with a few outlets against the walls, but lots of people studying so there is very limited seating in that sense. Also the WiFi was pretty bad probably because there was a lot of traffic :(. If you'd want to study here, I'd recommend going on a weekday.

This has to be my favorite café in ktown! Hands-down! I love how there's plenty enough of seating. If you want to get some work done, you can go in the side of the cafe or even upstairs where it is sort of an unspoken quiet work area that over looks the cafe! I am such a fan of this place ! I brought my fur baby and a sweet lady brought a dog bed over!! We sat outside to get some air as well which was lovely with a cute fire place! As for the food and drinks, yall- need to get on it!! The matcha is so creamy and tried the corn latte which was surprisingly tasty but a lil grainy! The bagel sandwiches are so delicious and tasty! And omg their cheesecake was so delicious! I got the dubi one which was so creamy! There's also a fun photo booth for $10 for two sheets! Definitely worth coming here for a fun cafe date or coworking! There is parking and street parking!

Such a comfortable space and a total vibe! To start off they have their own parking lot with a good amount of parking. I went at 9pm (they close at 1 am) to avoid traffic. The parking was actually full but we got lucky and found a spot. Inside at 9 pm it was still pretty packed but slowly got emptier. They have 2 floors of seating and I was able to find a spot! Plenty of outlets but I would still recommend coming in fully charged just in case. I love the vibe in there-- very communal and the photo booth is so cute! It's about $10 to get a print out with 2 pics. Matcha einspanner was SO good. It's matcha with a creamy foam on top. So so good and matcha was still strong! Matcha cheesecake was super super good as well! Will be coming back here for late night study sessions!

Came around 3pm on a weekend for a study day, and I was lucky enough to snag a parking spot at the designated parking lot. There was a short line to order and that didn't take too long, but after ordering I had to wait around 10-15 more minutes to wait for a seat to open up. Even though there is outdoor seating, 1st floor indoor and 2nd floor, it was very busy on this day and a pain to settle down. Just to park and sit probably took around 30 minutes, but it is ktown so somewhat understandable. Next, I ordered the Ube einspanner $8 (3/5): I saw on another review that this drink was too sweet, so I ended up getting it 50% sugar. The Ube flavor was too subtle. I wish it was stronger :( that's my main concern with this drink, just didn't live up to its name. The overall ambiance is lively with music playing and lots of people talking, but also many people studying. It might be worth it if you have ample time to spare but not sure if I'll be back for the drinks itself.

About Time is nothing remarkable, especially with all the other cafes in town. It's well decorated, the drinks are middle of the road, and everything is expensive. I ordered a mocha latte and it was excessively acidic. The earl grey slice of cake was pretty yummy, but $12 for a slice is ridiculous. It was also too hard, should have been a bit softer and easier to cut. Parking is tough, like the rest of Ktown. They have a large parking lot but it was basically full when we got there. We managed to catch someone leaving.
