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

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.

My experience with About Time was pretty positive! Ordering was quick and friendly, and the menu is easy to follow. I ended up getting a matcha einspanner and a smoked salmon bagel sandwich, which amounted to (including tax and tip) almost $30. I'm used to cafes in the LA area to be quite expensive, so it didn't faze me too much. The taste of both alone made me forget about how much I paid. Would I pay $15 again for that sandwich?... If I was feeling bougie, probably, but in reality, I would not get it again, mainly due to the price. On a side note, the employee who gave me my order did forget my sandwich, but it was all good in the end. The matcha einspanner was my favorite item that I got and is for sure something I would order again. About Time has a great cozy atmosphere with great tasting food, but be warned, it can be quite expensive. But it's LA, so it's a given.

About Time is one of my favorite cafes in LA! The interior design and vibes are absolutely amazing—it’s so beautifully decorated and thoughtfully designed. It’s not just a perfect spot for working, but also a great place to catch up with friends. Their coffee and desserts are delicious, with a wide variety to choose from. I personally love the vanilla flavor the most! While the prices aren’t the cheapest, they’re definitely reasonable for the quality and experience. The staff are super friendly, which adds to the charm of the place. It’s definitely a must-visit if you’re in LA!

The cafe is really unique and has fittingly unique menu options. There is many new things you can try here like but they also have your typical coffee menu options. The Tiramisu drink could be a bit thicker and less sweet but it’s not everyone’s cup of coffee. The crookie (a croissant and cookie combination) was really good. It’s especially good if it’s microwaved just enough to get the chocolate to melt and the rest to soften.

This is a really lovely cafe in Ktown. They have charging ports and free wifi. Wifi was pretty fast. People (including me) spent almost all day working or chatting. The bagels are pretty compared to most places. I had the smoked salmon. Other drinks and sweet items are good too. The restroom was clean. Servers are very friendly. Totally a wonderful place to visit and stay for a long time.

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.

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.

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 :)

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 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).

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The earl grey tea cake was super dense. I loved it. Would order again! Free parking is available, but it's very packed. If you're going with someone, I'd highly recommend to carpool to reduce the hassle of finding a parking spot for everyone.

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!

The one barista who served seemed kind of unfriendly when I ordered , she acted like she didn't wanna be there but overall, the service is kind. The ambiance is really nice though and my friend and I got a table on the second floor next to the window which had a great view overlooking the cafe. There was also a photobooth in the cafe which was fun to do. We got the ube einspanner and the strawberry/basil ade and I must say, the portion sizes are huge compared to other cafes in ktown. The ube einspanner had a strong espresso flavor which we enjoyed but the ube flavor didn't really come through. I didn't really like the strawberry basil ade since there was so little strawberry syrup and it was stuck to the bottom. I couldn't even properly distribute it throughout my drink because of all the ice they added to the drink.

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.

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.

Saw this place online and it looked so pretty so I had to give it a try for getting some studying done with friends. The place was incredibly busy even during the week and as a result there was no functioning WiFi so my friends and I had to use our phone hotspots (please get a stronger router or additional router!) The food was tasty albeit on the pricier side especially the early grey cake slice ($12). I didn't really enjoy the drink as I requested it to be made with a dairy substitute for an up charge and received it with regular milk. Overall, would come again but make sure to look at them making the drink and hopefully fix their wifi issue. It's a beautiful building so it's got great potential.

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). Featured here: tiramisu einspanner ube einspanner avocado toast salmon bagel strawberry and cream donut

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!

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!

I first came for the mini lafufus but the food was waaayyy better than I expected. I never liked Ube until I tried their Ube latte!! Their creme brule is mouth watering delicious! Their spicy beef empenada is amazing! Their hazelnut latte is delicious toooo. Its hot as heck today so I am excited to head over and try some cold drinks and their breakfast bagels. The smoked salmon looks sooo delicious. I couldn't even wait for the weekend this week and used Teacher Appreciation to make the treck from Monterey Park to Koreatown to spoil myse...uhh.. my kids' teachers and daycare staff. The teachers loved the treats and the mini lafufus. I love bringing new people around. Its such a cute spot with friendly staff and delicious food.

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.

5/5 - A vibe, a flavor trip, and a little slice of aesthetic heaven I finally visited About Time, and wow--why did I wait this long? Tucked in a corner that feels like a secret haven for creatives and college goers, this cafe nails the trifecta: ambiance, flavor, and that "I could stay here all day" kind of energy. The moment you walk in, you feel like you've entered a Pinterest board brought to life. Earthy tones, cozy seating, students and freelancers tucked into corners with headphones and matcha lattes, and just the right level of indie acoustic music playing in the background. It's effortlessly cool--like the kind of place you casually mention in conversation just to sound in-the-know. Let's talk drinks: I tried the Pistachio Latte and Tiramisu Latte (both iced, because let's be honest--iced is a lifestyle). The pistachio was silky, subtly nutty, and not overly sweet. It felt indulgent without being heavy. But the real showstopper? That tiramisu latte. It had the perfect balance of espresso bitterness and creamy sweetness, with a hint of cocoa that made it taste like dessert in a cup. I could drink it daily and still crave it. Food-wise, the Tuna Melt Sandwich was exactly what you want on a chill afternoon--crispy bread, warm, cheesy, savory filling, and served hot enough to satisfy every comfort food craving. I also ordered the Avocado Toast, and this is not your basic brunch toast. Think perfectly ripe avocado, a sprinkle of chili flakes, a dash of lemon, maybe even a drizzle of olive oil--it's fresh, flavorful, and plated like they knew you were going to post it. Now the dessert: the cheesecake came beautifully packaged, almost too pretty to eat (almost). Dense, rich, with that melt-in-your-mouth creaminess that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. It was that good. Whether you're grabbing it to-go or eating in, it feels like a little indulgent gift to yourself. This place clearly understands its audience--college students, remote workers, and coffee lovers who appreciate the details. You come for the coffee, but stay for the vibe, the food, and the feeling that you just found your new favorite spot. 10/10 recommend. It's About Time you checked it out too.

One of many cafes that closes late in LA, but the exterior and interior are designed very uniquely. Love how spacious (2 stories!), clean, and the dim/soft lighting - perfect spot to study and work on stuff. I tried their popular drink, strawberry basil ade, and the strawberry cream donut. Love how refreshing it was and the hint of basil goes so well with it. Private FREE parking available, can get filled up during busy times, but there are additional street parking.

It's about time a great cafe/writing joint opens in KTown. The size of the FREE parking lot perked me up instantly. Inside was just as impressive. So many places to situate yourself with a cup of coffee and laptop. The photos I took were at 9am on Thursday. We came here to escape the fires and lingering smoke on the Westside. Until we can return home this feels like a nice place to escape. As for the food, we only ordered a muffin, two lattes and OJ so I don't have much of an opinion about that yet. The only thing I want to say is that I wish the OJ was fresh. Until next our next sip, Caio mein!

Mustve came after the hype died down because there was no line during Sunday brunch. The free parking lot had a good amount of parking left but it is still a but tight. There is a spacious seating area with additional seating upstairs. I found it quite criminal to pay $10 for an oat milk matcha einspanner but the portion kinda makes up for it. I actually really enjoyed my drink and believe it's better than other ktown cafes.

Matcha Einspanner was a great choice. Overall it's quite pricey. I like the vibe of this cafe. Staffs are great too

時間是溫柔也殘酷的,帶來了所有, 也治癒了一切,時間不會給我們答案, 但所有的答案也都在時間裡了~ 在 K town 有名的網紅咖啡廳,非常非常美麗的地方, 有上下兩層, 還有外面可以坐, 很少咖啡廳這麼的大氣, 在這點個咖啡, 做做功課應該是很不錯的感覺,他家也有玉米咖啡, 離我們臺北經濟文化辦事處很近, 去辦事時, 有個地方可以打發時間了!

This place is located in a very central location in ktown so beware parking can be very difficult during peak hours. You just have to hunt for street parking and may have to walk pretty far. This place is open super late so there's a pretty large crowd of people here every time I've stopped by. The lines are always super long and seating isn't always easy to come by. There's also outdoor seating by a fire pit if you come late at night which is kinda cozy. I've tried the black sesame donut as well as the ube Einspanner. Both items were quite disappointing unfortunately, especially when you compare to all the other options in ktown. The donut was soggy and tasted like it's been sitting around for a long time and the ube tasted very artificial. All in all this is a nice spot if you have no where else to go at nighttime but there are much better Korean cafes in the area that I prefer.

I like this coffee shop to get work/study done! First time here and I got a matcha einspanner for $8. The drink was good. The cup was taller than I expected. They have an adjacent parking lot, which has free parking! If the lot is full, there are metered street spots on Berendo. The bathrooms are on the first floor at the base of the stairs. Upstairs is another working area with plenty of tables and seats. There are some bench seats that give you a view of the downstairs bar. The WiFi works. Lots of signs around that suggest one order minimum per person and no outside food or drinks.

What a great spot to enjoy an ice cold latte accompanied by a unique pastry. The place was bright, spacious and perfect to plug in for a work assignment. Every item I ordered was absolutely delightful. But the Corn Mochi was hands down my favorite. The service was quick and they made beautiful drinks. As a bonus, kids can treasure hunt for mini figurines hidden throughout the cafe. Can't wait to return for another treat soon.

I came here to get some last min work done before heading to downtown to hang out with some friends. Let me just say, this is one of those RARE spaces that have plenty of parking and I'm here for it! It's also a great space for good food and drinks. Service is basic and fast but everything I had there was delicious. I could see myself spending a whole day there and being extremely productive. Most of the people there were also working on their laptop there. What was not so great was the lack of consistent wifi. I know it was busy when I went there but with a space this big, I do wish they would be better equipped in providing a strong WiFi.

~ - *KCafe in LA* - ~ Love their drinks! If you want something w/ caffeine definitely try the matcha einspanner and the ube coffee einspanner! If you aren't feeling caffeine their strawberry mojito is pretty good! They use topo chico so it's super bubbly. The service is really nice. The bathroom here is so clean haha.
