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?

I had ordered a slice of their hazelnut cake and the way the cake looked, it seemed like it was going to be delicious. Once I tried the cake it was very dry, crumby and a little hard. I feel like the only thing that saved this cake is the buttercream that it had. I still don’t recommend buying it, also it was $13 and to me it wasn’t worth it for the way it tasted, I would personally purchase this cake for only $8. Overall I think it’s a overpriced coffee shop for basic pastry items and coffee.

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

Perfect Me Time in this two floor coffee shop. Plenty of seatings both downstairs and upstairs. Can enjoy study or do homework while enjoying a cup of coffee or matcha latte here. Real nice

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.

Really spacious place with a lot of places to sit and work or hang with a friend. Lots of drink options and pastry options. A late will cost almost $12 with tip but the cups are larger.

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.

Love this koreatown cafe! It's our go-to spot for breakfast or a mid-day treat. Pros: - free parking lot - big, aesthetic cafe space with patio and upstairs - large menu of treats and food - good sized drinks - nice employees My recs: - Matcha latte (they have a lot of drinks and snacks with matcha) - chicken salad sandwich - matcha cookie Not sure if they're still doing this, but for a while they were hiding mini toys (like labubus) everyday for customers to find and keep, and we've found a couple! so fun lol

Absolutely INSANE that they've increased their prices even MORE! Just two weeks ago, the majority of their drinks went up to $8, which was already way too expensive. $8 for a Matcha Einspanner and most other drinks. Well, last week I returned and now those same previously 8 dollar drinks are now 9 dollars. With tax I'm basically spending $10 for a latte? Combine that with the fact that while the ambiance and vibe of this cafe are next-level, it has probably the WORST wifi I've experienced in any cafe in LA. Just so slow and unreliable, I can *barely* ever get work done when I'm there. I'm sorry to say, what was already a "maybe once or twice a month" feels more like a "I'll just go somewhere else."

Spacious, trendy space to work and hang out but food/drinks are quite overpriced. Staff are also not the friendliest. Both times I went, I had to wait a long time to be greeted but the staff didn't look very busy lol WiFi works fine. I'd go to 2nd floor for a quieter space. But depending on the day of week, can be very crowded during the day. Must order one item per person.

Before my friend and I attended the candlelight concert across the street, we spent some time chilling here to enjoy the pastry and coffee& tea. We were so impressed on how elegant and cozy this coffee shop is, very comfortable and welcoming. Love all the details and decorations. It was a Saturday night full house, it took us a while to finally have a seat. The girl who served us and took our orders was very sweet and friendly. I enjoyed my Yuzu Peach Green tea very much, so calming and mind easing, my friend said that she likes her Matcha Latte too, not too sweet and the matcha is mellow. And we both really appreciated the cheesecake, very rich and love the texture. We stayed at the shop for about an hour and wish that we could enjoy the atmosphere longer if we did not need to attend the concert.

I loved coming here to study! So many tables and outlets. My friend and I would grab brunch and talk for a bit and then get to studying and reup our fuel after a few hours. I enjoyed the matcha here. I believe I got a breakfast sandwich too once and that was good. I also love the outdoor area.

OPEN TIL 1AM?? Say less. Not many wholesome third spaces that are open late. This place is clutch for some late night work or studying. It was super busy when I came on a week night but there's lots of seating and plenty of outlets-- def makes it easy to stay for hours. I also noticed there's an upstairs area! I didn't get to explore but I'd assume it makes it great for lil friend dates and people watching. I tried their iced strawberry matcha latte and basque cheesecake-- sad to say they were both OK, probably not something I'd get again but I'd definitely come back to try something else the next time I'm studying late. Also super love that they have a huge parking lot!

This was the last place we tried when we were in LA and I'm glad we ended on a good note! The place was pretty spacious and they had outdoor seating as well. Matcha Einspanner(10/10): The drink was very delicious and creamy! It was the perfect amount of sweetness and I felt like nothing was overpowering the other. Earl Grey Cake(10/10): The cake is very dense and I really enjoyed the texture. It really made me think of a Japanese pound cake. You can really taste the tea and it wasn't overbearing. Creme Brulee Donut(8/10): I thought the sugar on top wasn't going to be crunchy, but surprisingly, it still was. The cream wasn't too sweet and balances well with the dough and sugar on top. The dough was soft and chewy and slightly sweet. Yuzu Cake(10/10): This slice was my favorite out of the items that we ordered! I like the nice balance of sour and sweet. I especially like yuzu for its mild sourness and I feel like it really is the star of this cake! This cake was also dense and I didn't mind at all. Ginger Yuzu Matcha Ade(3/10): It's just me, but I didn't enjoy this drink at all. I personally don't favor ginger, and I tasted it a lot in this drink. The only thing I liked was the yuzu and matcha. I'm sure others would enjoy this drink! Service(10/10): The workers were very nice and friendly! They were very helpful and were able to answer my questions! Our items came out fairly quick and there weren't any complications. Overall, I would definitely come here again if I was in the area! I would also recommend this place to anyone who hasn't been here!

This place is cool because it's open late! It has a decent menu selection and they were pretty quick to get our drinks and food out despite how busy it was. Some downsides are that it's hard to find parking, it was packed in the lot and along the street. We parked about 8 minutes away in a garage. Since it's super packed, it was also hard to find seating. Great place to socialize or do homework. super cute inside and outside!

We definitely would not come back :( we were super excited as this coffee shop is open late which is great to come and study and get work done. They do have a lot of seating areas, inside, outside and even an upstairs but even late at night they get super packed so might take a while to get seating. I got the caramel macchiato and we also got a strawberry matcha ade. The coffee was so sweet, tasted like mostly just caramel and the ade had almost no flavor. We also got red velvet and smores cookies but both of them were really dry and tasted like nothing. The wifi as well was not great at all, really slow. The staff was nice, they got our drinks out pretty fast and gave us recommendations. The 2 stars is only because of how much seating they have and for the staff.

How cute this place is! But service sucks haha. Literally asked for a straw and the guy gave me an attitude. I've been drinking my drink from this hole. Also, ordered cake and he put it as for here. We told him, "can we have it to go please?" He didn't even say anything and took it to pack it. First of all, the cashier didn't even ask us for here or to go. Anyways, ain't gonna post that guy because he knows who he is. It's "About Time" they work on their customer service.

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.

I've tried to give this place a lot of chances but aside from being a late night study/work spot there isn't much to offer here. Drinks are pretty watered down and/or flavorless, teas are decent. On the pricier end compared to surrounding cafes so I expected better quality. The mugwort cake is decent but quite dry and hard every time I order it. There is a lot of seating but is usually taken up by dinner time and all weekends. Parking is available however does become valet parking occasionally (I believe on weekends only and/or night) with DGM also being in the same building. Parking is quite hard, the parking lines are hard to see so they will call you to fix your parking. There is a 1 drink per person rule, so if only you want to order a drink and your friend only wants a dessert, that isn't allowed. A drink must be ordered per person! They are strict on this and will come to your table to make you order. They are also extremely strict on outside food or drinks - I ordered a drink & dessert and had a water bottle on the side facing away from view but somehow they spotted it and told me to dispose of it as well as other to customers (which is fine and understandable, just kind of creepy how it seemed like they were heavily monitoring me and everyone around me). Staff in general are very kind and helpful, I'm assuming it's either owners or management that is making them more strict to customers with the order & no outside food/drink policy. The main plus is that it's open late at night so it's a nice place to hang out with friends after dinner if there's seating! I used to enjoy coming here when they first opened but overtime service and quality dropped. WiFi is available however not reliable and slow, ok for browsing but not to study or work!

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

Great place to hang out with friends, study, or get some work done. It's spacious with 2 floors, aesthetic, and buzzing with plenty of options for food, desserts, and drinks. We ordered Tiramisu Einspanner and Pistachio latte with Avocado Toast, Chicken + Spinach Quesadilla and Ube dessert. Everything was so good!

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.

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).

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

Loved this place! The ambiance is absolutely perfect--modern, cozy, and full of that warm, relaxed vibe that makes you want to stay for hours. The coffee is excellent too--smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. One of the best parts is the parking. For K-Town, finding easy parking feels like winning the lottery, and this spot actually has convenient, stress-free parking, which makes the whole experience even better. Overall, a fantastic café with great drinks, a beautiful vibe, and hassle-free parking.

Came here because I wanted some tanghulu and it showed up on Google. I guess they served it when Tanghulu was really popular a year ago (or seasonally in general). I ended up getting a decaf corn latte that was super tasty and explored the cafe while we waited for our stuff to be ready. The place was really busy with students and the inside has a super hip/picture-ready vibe. There's a patio, second floor, and a photo booth!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful establishment with an assortment of creative drinks and desserts, and I notice it's also selling Flour Fresh cream's donuts. It's a bit pricier but the venue is really lovely. Service was fast. It's understandably popular and we couldn't find a seat indoors because it was packed. Sadly the wifi was poor for working outdoors in the patio so we ended up using our own data to do work, but it's a beautiful space to work in.

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!

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!

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 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.

stopped by another cafe to try out and study at with my friend - there were two levels with many tables on each level. - we got the strawberry matcha milk and tiramisu einspanner. the strawberry matcha milk (4/5) tasted a bit watered down and the strawberry was very faint. the tiramisu einspanner (4.3/5) wasn't too bad; we got it at 25% sugar so it was not too sweet and it had the right amount of coffee flavor. the drinks were a bit on the pricey side even if the cup size was big. - the workers were nice to help us out with our questions and we got our drinks pretty quickly this was a nice cafe to try out and it also closes late so that's nice.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 place is really nice, with a cool and chill atmosphere. I ordered the Oreo Einspanner, the presentation was great, and the service was good too. However, the drink tasted more like a milkshake than a coffee, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars.

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.
