Handles Coffee

Recently my wife has been having me try coffees from different shops, so we visited Camel. The atmosphere inside really surprised me. Its very interesting and welcoming... Will I be back? Highly doubt it. For first timers, we were recommended the the first two options: 1. Camel Coffee and 2. Camel Latte. The Camel Coffee saved the day for me because the Camel Latte, was not it. If you don't like the taste of orange jam or the way orange zest taste like, do not order Camel Latte. The Camel Coffee on the other hand, the foam top was pretty good, but that's it.

Totally understand the hype of this spot, literally a gem! Tried their camel latte and I am not disappointed at all. It had a strong taste of chocolate and orange so it tasted like orange dipped in chocolate which is absolutely delicious! I love chocolate orange! My whole taste bud was so happy!!! Would need to come back to try their camel coffee which also sounded amazing!!!

We had a fantastic experience at Camel Coffee during our business meeting on February 1st. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for both conversation and focus. We ordered a Matcha Latte and a Flat White, and both exceeded expectations. The Matcha Latte was smooth and well-balanced, with just the right touch of sweetness, while the Flat White was rich, velvety, and expertly crafted. Beyond the excellent coffee, the service was friendly and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. Whether for a business meeting or a casual coffee break, Camel Coffee is a spot we’ll definitely return to and highly recommend.

I have been to every single “hip” coffee spot in Los Angeles and have tasted literally thousands of coffees across LA. The Camel Coffee is EASILY the best coffee you can order in the city. Sure, you might find something that you are particular to, but from a standpoint of walking in, and being an absolute novice in the coffee game you can have a TOP tier coffee with no major choices. If you are a coffee expert, let Camel take you on an adventure you weren’t expecting. 10/10 best coffee in the city thank you for blessing us with your presence.

The Coffee Wow, wow! My friend and I really lucked out with the whole experience. We arrived around 1:15-1:30 p.m. on a Saturday, and we didn't even wait long--there were only ~6 or 7 people in front of us. My friend mentioned that the line usually stretches out the door, which it definitely did shortly after we finished ordering. I tried the camel coffee, and it was amazing!! The portion was small but rich in quality, and I loved how it came in this tiny cup. The camel cup itself reminded me of those dental cups you see at the dentist--it's funny how I can't unsee that! But the coffee was so good, I didn't mind. The staff recommended not stirring the cream into the coffee, but instead taking sips of both. That was a nice touch, and I really appreciated their attention to detail. The Vibe The atmosphere of the place is simple, yet inviting. In comparison to similar spots like Community Goods, it felt much more down-to-earth, whereas Community Goods can feel a bit pretentious. I was pleasantly surprised by the vibe here, and I'd definitely come back. We lucked out with seating because they have an upstairs area, and a table happened to be free. We spent almost 2 hours there, enjoying the relaxed and artsy feel. Downstairs, there's a cozy setup with counter space, and also outdoor options. The Bathrooms A nice bonus was the bathrooms--there are 2 for customers only, which is always appreciated. Each bathroom has a code on the back of your receipt, so it's secure and for paying customers Customer Experience The staff was so friendly! When I went to pick up our coffee, the barista asked if I'd ever had the camel coffee before. When I said no, she suggested I try not stirring the cream into the drink but instead take sips of it. That little tip really stood out to me and made the whole experience feel even more personal. It's those small touches that made the service and coffee feel extra special! Parking As for parking, my friend and I walked there, but if you're driving, be prepared for typical LA meter parking. Finding street parking can be tough, so it's something to consider when planning your visit! Final Thoughts Overall, I had a fantastic experience and am already craving that camel coffee as I write this haha. I'll definitely be coming back! While the line can get long, it's definitely worth the wait. I hope the staff continues to be as friendly as they were during my visit, and that barista's little gesture really stood out to me. Highly recommend! :)

Cool building inside, cream top matcha latte was good. It’s small sized of concentrated matcha topped with very sweet cream. Reasonably priced around $5.50. We came right before closing and didn’t wait in line.

one of the best lattes i've ever had. the interior is beautiful and the staff is friendly. the next time we visited, my friend forgot her phone in the toilet, but the baristas found it and returned it. guys, know that you're cool!

Camel coffee was good, just a bit expensive for such a small size. But coffee itself was good quality and the staff was super nice! Definitely recommend

I finally visited this gem place during an impromptu LA trip, and it ended up being so good that I came back twice in the same weekend! From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the perfect blend of Silverlake's laid-back, hipster vibe and the authentic coffee culture straight from Korea. It's not often you find a place that nails the "localization" so well while still staying true to its roots, but this café does it effortlessly. On my first visit, the upstairs seating area filled up quickly, but I was lucky enough to snag a spot. Camel Coffee is just the menu to try out if you are first-timer. The vibe was electric--tons of natural light streaming in, great background music, and people genuinely enjoying their time. It's the kind of space where you can just relax, chat, or dive into some good work. The energy here is infectious, and it's clear they've cultivated a community where people feel at home. The coffee? Absolutely on point. I've had my fair share of coffee in Seoul, and this place holds up to the highest standards. On my second visit, I went for their Vanilia Latte which was a great option if you want a slightly larger size, given the camel coffee only has one small size. The balance of flavors was impeccable for both coffees--not too sweet, not too bitter, just the right notes hitting all the right spots. You can tell they put a lot of care into their roasting process; it's perfectly balanced, not over-roasted or under-roasted. Just pure, high-quality coffee. The staff here is another highlight. Super friendly, fast, and great at making recommendations if you're not sure what to try. They're clearly passionate about what they do, and it shows in every cup they serve. The only downside? Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but honestly, the experience inside is so worth it that I didn't mind circling the block a couple of times to find a spot. Overall, this place has quickly become one of my go-to spots in LA. Whether you're looking for a place to chill, catch up with friends, or just enjoy some top-tier coffee, this café has it all. I'll definitely be back every time I'm in town!

Went on a Sunday morning around 10am and there was a line out the door. Ordered the matcha and it was so good! Loved the cream on top. All my friends enjoyed their drinks as well. The only downside is that the cup sizes are really small. Finished my drink really fast, but would still come back because the drink did not disappoint. The drinks come out pretty faster after ordering.

I really enjoyed this tiny coffee joint nestled in bustling LA. I ordered their house latte with pistachio milk and would recommend it. The orange chocolate flavor was subtle and hit just right. It is loud, so not a quiet coffee shop if that's your vibe.

Last time I was here, it was called Cafe Caravan. When I saw that it changed to Camel, I thought it was another Moroccan style cafe (I was thinking of a camel - desert animal...you get the idea). Turns out Camel is a S. Korean chain coffee shop. I decided to order the Camel Matcha w/ Almond milk ($6.25) and a Kouign Amann ($5.75). It was a literal slap in the face when I got my drink. It comes in a 4 oz. cup (I took the cup home and used my measuring cup to measure how much is in the cup just to confirm because I couldn't believe how small it was), and half of it was ice, so it costed me $6.25 for a 2 oz. drink. I don't think it was even ceremonial grade matcha, because when I asked what kind of matcha it was, the cashier said it was a powder that they make into a concentrate. The drink is good, but I was sipping it veeerrryyy slowly to savor it. I joked with my son that each tiny sip of the drink was costing me 50 cents. Kouign Amann is one of my favorite pastries, but their version is hard and shaped like a cinnamon roll. Maybe a Korean version of this French pastry. I didn't like this item at all. Cost aside, the drink I got tasted good, but not worth what I paid in my opinion.

I came here on a Friday afternoon in August a little after 1 pm. Somehow there wasn't much of a line. My friend and I saw more of a line on our way out. The person who took my order was warm and had great handwriting, and the wait for our coffee wasn't too long. My friend and I both liked our drinks - she ordered an iced americano and I had an iced camel coffee (I think). We didn't get to try pastries because by this point in the day they were all sold out. We were able to snag some seating upstairs. I liked the random art on the wall. We found street parking around the block. If the odds are in our favor again - both parking and crowd wise, we'd consider coming back another day to try more.

I heard about this place on TikTok. I got the camel coffee, which is similar to an einspammer. It features cream, milk and espresso. It was fun to drink! They recommend you drinking it without mixing first. And then you can mix. The texture made it taste like a dessert, almost like an affogato. It wasn't sweet sweet. I also tried the orange latte. This was delicious!! I loved the orange flavor. It almost tasted like they added a bit of orange juice. It wasn't just orange syrup.

Tried Camel for the first time on a Saturday. Found street parking pretty easily around 1pm and only had to waiting in like for about 7 minutes or so. Baristas were super helpful and friendly. They each took time to explain to customers the coffee sizes and how it is best served. I got the Camel Coffee and my friend got the Camel Latte iced. The Camel coffee is an espresso so it's smaller in size. It's served with both a cream and milk which I got with oat milk and vegan cream. The cream adds the perfect sweetness to pair with the espresso. I tried a bit of my friends camel latte. It had chocolate, orange, milk and espresso. The organs flavor was mild and the chocolate was a nice pairing. Be sure to mix it or else you'll get some really sweet/strong sips at the bottom.

The vibes and aesthetics are great. The coffee is so unique and delicious, you can taste the freshness of the coffee beans. There might be a line outside but don't let it intimidate you, it moves pretty quickly ! I'll defs be back to try the matcha ! Camel Coffee - Classic ! This is small but mighty, it really packs a punch ! The house-made cream is the perfect compliment to the double shot of espresso ! Camel Latte - Bright ! Who knew orange and mocha would go so well together ! You can taste how fresh the orange juice is and the added orange slice defs added that nice orange zest aromatic flavor ! Tigre - Delicious ! This was delicious, it was warm and dense. The light sea salt was a great touch that paired nicely with the chocolate chip !

Second time here and love it. I came here few months ago and the line was so long, I believe it was right when they were trending as a new spot. I took a few pictures back then as well but somehow forgot to write a review and post. This time there was only three people in line and it was a much better experience. Staff is friendly and fast. They are great with recommendations specially if you are not familiar. I love their camel latte,it has choco and orange in it. Camel coffee is good too ... I'm sure all their drinks are good cause the coffee itself is high quality and tastes amazing. Not over roasted or under roasted. Just perfect. They have some bakery items but sell out towards the ends of the day. So early mornings are better for bakery items such as croissants and more. Finding parking is the only problem here.

The camel matcha is soo good! I was debating between ordering the matcha latte vs the camel matcha and glad I tried the camel matcha per the barista's recommendation. The cup is quite small but they explained that it's a drink you slowly sip on because of the strong/concentrated flavor of the matcha. It was recommended to me to take a couple of sips and then stir the cream top into the drink. Another thing is that the sweetener is already premixed so I couldn't adjust the sweetness but it was still really good and not overly sweet. I had to find metered street parking, wasn't too hard on a weekday afternoon. Also wasn't too busy. Interior was cute and had a small upstairs area to lounge.

Saw a lot of hype about this place on social media and wanted to check it out for myself. Was pleasantly surprised when I saw there wasn't a massive line out front, which I was worried about. Parked on the street close by. Medium-sized triangular store location, some bar seating overlooking the street on the ground floor and they have an upstairs area with some tables and stools, but not many. I ordered an iced matcha latte with almond milk. I get matcha a lot, I love matcha, and this was hands down my favorite one in LA. It had a strong matcha flavor, without being too bitter. Very lightly sweet, doesn't feel like you're drinking candy. (I will say if you like sweeter drinks, you may want to ask for more sweetener in it, my friend who likes sweeter matchas didn't like it as much as I did, but I typically get things half or quarter sweet). It lived up to the hype! Would definitely come back again.

We were excited to find out that the popular South Korean coffee shop was opening in LA. We made a bee line there. We tried their popular Camel coffee (double espresso with milk and their special cream topping), Camel latte ( Orange, chocolate, milk, and espresso), & Matcha latte. We had them all iced except for the Camel latte. You can substitute the milk as well. The Camel coffee is not something to be passed up when visiting. The cream is so good and the whole drink is very smooth and tasty. The Camel latte is delicious and must be ordered hot. The heat from the drink really brings out the orange flavor which is not very over powering, and the chocolate notes are very subtle, adding a smoothness to the drink. The Matcha latte was also very good, not bitter nor overly strong. All the drinks come in one size, so don't expect grandes or Venti. The cafe is well decorated with an eclectic modern style. There is seating upstairs, and a bar area along the front entrance, as well as some benches outside. All the employees were great and informative about the beverages and lent suggestions on what to order and the best way to enjoy them. Service was fast and efficient. They also serve pastries such as Kouign Amman and their popular Le Tigre. We will definitely be coming here often when in the area. Happy Nom Nom!

Visited on Saturday late afternoon for the first time. It was fairly busy, but luckily there was no line upon arrival. The interior was very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. Staff was friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. There is seating but can fill up quickly. I tried the Camel Coffee. It was small but tasted lovely. The barista asked if I've ever ordered it before & I said no. He advised me to NOT mix it before drinking (made to sip on). It was perfect for me as I like sweeter coffee. The cream was delicious. Prices were affordable, and they do not accept tip. My coffee was $5.50 total which is practically unheard of these days! I would highly recommend and will definitely be back!! Parking: Limited street parking

Worth the hype and wait. Staff is welcoming and don't make you feel rushed, and they make your drinks pretty fast (less than 5minutes). My favorites are the camel coffee and matcha latte, however I didn't care for the camel latte (I didn't feel like the orange, espresso and mocha went well together, but maybe try it for yourself!). The price is on the lower end than your average coffee in LA, and although the cup is smaller than average as well, the caffeine content is definitely still there!

First, let me start out by addressing the negative Nancy's in the room... This place is the best coffee place in LA. Anyone can go here, get a really great coffee while not feeling any amount of judgment. The menu is a little bit unorthodox so you may have to try a few items before you find the one that fits. You may not like how they choose to their recipes, but the coffee itself is top notch. Anyone who is rating this place below four stars, I'm poking holes in your idea that you are a coffee connoisseur because you're just not. The ambience here is a 10/10. Every time you walk in, there's something new to see. The way the place is laid out in the branding and art is like an experience. The staff are very, very nice, although do not try to modify their recipes because they measure everything down to the .1 ounces. My first time I came I tried the Camel latte. I was not really into it because it is very sweet. I feel like all of you Starbucks lovers who rated this place lower than four stars should probably order that. For everyone else who actually likes coffee, order yourself a camel coffee. They tell you not to mix it, but what I would recommend is to take two or three sips of the espresso through the cream, and then give it a light swirl so that the cream falls into the espresso slightly. That way you don't have to worry about keeping the proportions of your sips to the correct ratio. I haven't tried too many of the baked goods, but the ones that I have tried are nice tasting. Also, as a note, are you weekend warriors who come here and extend the line out the door around the corner, and all you negative Nancy's here, try coming on a Monday or Tuesday morning when normal neighborhood folk come and I guarantee the experience will be better.

Difficult to find parking on Wed mornings. The residential streets have street sweeping. I picked up a camel latte instead of the camel coffee knowing how small the latter would be. Camel latte was interesting, akin to an orange mocha but lighter on both notes. I enjoyed it! As for service, the staff kept to themselves and didn't really interact or smile much to customers. Just feels like an in-and-out place.

I ordered the Matcha Latte and Camel latte. The iced Matcha Latte was my favorite! It was sweet but not overly sweet. Keep in mind their Matcha latte is served in a pretty small cup (which threw me off at first) but it's pretty strong. Overall they serve great quality lattes! It does get pretty busy as well. I arrived around 1-2PM but the line moved quickly. They had plenty of seating upstairs, some stools by their window overlooking the street and some benches outside. There was a lot of natural lighting inside. I loved the color scheme of the cafe as well!

CAMEL MATCHA might be the best matcha i've ever had on the small side but quality over quantity! so rich and very dark green matcha w cream top helpful service and a little area up top to sit and catch up w friends mid week slow type of sip and drink spot, will be back :,)

we luckily found neighborhood parking right by the shop, there's usually a line out the door but I would say it goes by fairly quickly! There is seating upstairs that gets filled up quickly. They only take card. The cashier had mentioned that the camel coffee comes in a small cup because it is mainly coffee concentrate. i prefered the camel matcha because it was on the sweeter side! would def come back once in a while to treat myself, don't know how often I can justify the price for a small cup of matcha. *americano - we didn order this so i think they accidentally gave it to us *vanilla *camel latte - was good, but orange bits threw me off a bit. would recommend if you enjoy citrus flavored drinks *camel coffee *camel matcha - obsessed!

The camel coffee was good but not great to the point where I'd come back for it again. I loved the sweet cream and wished there was more in it to balance out the two shots of espresso in a tiny cup. It reminded me more of a cortado since it was so strong. I was also lucky enough to try both matcha options they offer. I liked the camel matcha more, once again, because of the cream, but it was also served in a small cup. I feel like the matcha latte might be more worth it in terms of price, but if you want something sweeter then go for the camel matcha. There was a small wait but only 10 minutes since many people were behind the counter making drinks. There was a small area upstairs to relax but not comfortable enough to work and also some outside seating.

I also listed Camel in my itinerary for Korea, but we just happened to be around the area so I'm like, eh let's just try it out now LOL we arrived around 12pm and there's already a line outside. I thought the hype already died down, but nope, it's still very much busy! It is also street parking only too, so you'll have better luck in finding parking in the residential areas around. Luckily the line wasn't too bad as it would move at a steady speed. So maybe it was about like a 15 min wait? Ordering was easy and the cashier was very helpful in explaining since it was my first time visiting here. I got the standard Camel Coffee since it seemed like a must-get here! The team is efficient with their orders. Now trying the Camel Coffee, honestly, the drink was pretty good. It does feel more concentrated in caffeine, but.. the size was very disappointing haha. My cup was basically half ice and I never drank my drink soooo fast ever. The quality tastes nice, but the size and portion was just very disappointing to have. Otherwise, the vibe is nice here. It's a bit more crowded since it's still a popular coffee shop, but the upstairs have a more nice and spaced out area to hang and chat.

My friend really wanted to try this place after seeing it all over social media. We happened to be at Barnsdall Park so walked about half a mile to get here. Came on a Sunday afternoon and there was a line to the door but it moved pretty fast. The camel coffee was delicious and not overly sweet but very small for what you pay. I'm not sure why it comes in a double cup, maybe for aesthetic purposes... or maybe hopefully for a better reason? The americano was good and had a pretty strong coffee flavor. It was perfect for a hot day. Another friend got the matcha and said it was too concentrated for her taste. She wanted to add a little more milk to balance it out. Worth trying since we were in the area but likely won't make a special trip out there in the heart of crowded, chaotic LA.

Def a different coffee experience and highly reco if you're in the area. It's a corner spot with street parking. We got there on a Saturday late morning and we were able to find parking. We waited in line for around 15 minutes. There's a few seats downstairs, upstairs and outside but I wouldn't come here to work on a laptop more for a quick chat. Their menu is super simple and we got the iced camel coffee and the camel matcha: Camel coffee (5/5) I'd sip it from the top vs. using a straw to get the full experience. The bottom was more bitter with espresso but overall a well balanced drink Camel matcha (4/5) also sip this from the top. We got the vegan foam and it was solid. The matcha was a bit powdery/chalky but overall flavor was very full. Note that their sizes are small but the strength of the espresso and matcha make up for it.

Heard of this place through trendy friends and went to try it out on a weekend afternoon. The line was nearly 30 people deep. After a ~15 minute wait we ordered one milk tea and one Camel Latte. Holey monkey these are excellent drinks. Flavorful, complex, not sweet, and unique. 100% will be back and would recommend.

I recently visited Camel, the new Korean café hotspot, and tried their m.s.g.r (misugaru latte). I decided to add a shot of espresso after the barista recommended it for a "pick me up," but I feel like it altered the drink's flavor more than I would have liked. The nutty richness of the misugaru didn't quite come through as I had hoped, and I think it would've been better without the espresso. Next time, I'll skip the shot and savor the full misugaru experience. On the bright side, I tried my friend's matcha latte, and it absolutely blew my mind! Hands down, the best matcha latte I've had to date. I'm definitely going back to give the m.s.g.r another try--minus the espresso--and I'll be ordering the matcha for myself too! Great spot, cozy vibe, and I can't wait to explore more off their menu.

The staff are always friendly and helpful. The atmosphere has a nice vibe when it's not busy and crammed. It's serene and pleasant. The playlist is fun to listen to while waiting on your drinks. The drinks usually come out quickly. The barista will kindly give you instructions on how to best enjoy your drink. Street parking. Parking can be challenging. I prefer going during the morning on weekdays. The weekends are busy with a line streaming down the sidewalk.

All I have to say is the hype is worth it. I came on a saturday around 1pm and the line was out the door around the corner. Despite this it was less than a 15 minute wait. The staff get orders out pretty quickly and there's seating upstairs to wait for your coffee. I ordered the camel coffee with the sweet cream? I think they call it something else but it comes with their signature drink. It is some of the best coffee and milk I have ever had. Beware of the size as it is pretty small you may want to order a larger latte or matcha. My friend also ordered an iced matcha and said it was good. It looked very watery so if you like your matcha more on the creamy side perhaps ask for more!

One of my top three matcha spots in Southern California! I was a little hesitant to order the Camel matcha at first since I typically like my matcha less heavy/creamy and lighter, and I thought that the cream in this drink would drown out the matcha flavor. I ordered it anyways since this spot is so well known for it and was very pleasantly surprised! The matcha concentrate they use in the drink is really strong so the flavors are prominent even though it doesn't look like there's much in there. The size of the drink is quite small, but since the matcha flavor is so strong and the cream is so heavy it's pleasant to drink it on the slower side. The service was great and let me order my drink with less sugar/cream, and there are some cute seating areas upstairs to chat with a friend, though it is a bit limited especially when the shop is crowded and doesn't seem like a great place to work. I came on the earlier side around 9:30am on a Saturday and there was essentially no wait. I'd love to come back to try their matcha latte sometime!

Lovely shop! Well-made drinks. Only wish the space was bigger. If you drive around a corner and see a large line outside a coffee shop, it's probably Camel. I was skeptical at first and wondered if it was all hype, but my 30 minute wait was worth it. The shop has a fun vibe, feels small and nice drink options with well-thought intentions. They use a blend of beans from Central and South America which goes really well with the combination of ingredients in their mixed drinks / specialties. I'm planning to incorporate some of their ideas in my homemade drinks. Staff was friendly and service was about expected. Despite the huge line, everyone basically get their drinks based on when they place their order. There are a few tables on the first and second floor, but I wouldn't bank on having a place to sit after getting your drink. There is also outdoor sitting if that's your vibe.

This review has been pending for quite a while. I was one of the first 10 in line when they did their grand opening and scored a sweet tote bag. I definitely think Camel is a gem of a place. The day that I first visited they handed out yummy iced coffee which I think it was their Misugaru Latte. It was absolutely delicious, it seems like it had a blend of nutty and creamy flavor. I absolutely loved it but I had my heart set on the Camel Coffee - it was small but creamy with a shot of espresso. I had seen they had soft opening prior to that day and the lines had been so long, the day I went I did see there was a lot of people behind me so I believe the videos and also believe the hype because its really good. I have gone back again after that day but now I don't know if I'd wait an hour in line for it but it I'm ever in the area and it doesn't seem crowded, I'd stop by. There's limited indoor seating on the first and second level, but if you can manage to get a seat or a table you scored!

GOODNESS GRACIOUS! I had been waiting for so long to try this place and now that I have... WOW I am impressed! I ordered the camel latte iced with oat milk and is was heavenly. The perfect combination of the chocolate, espresso, orange blend. I fell in love with the orange latte trend earlier this year and I'd have to say this is the best one so far. Also ordered the pain au chocolat, this was delicious and flaky. Fast, friendly service. Very chill vibe with limited eating. I definitely need to hit this spot again.

Easily my fave coffee shop! Plenty of street parking around. And the line usually moves pretty fast and service is always good and consistent. There's also a restroom that's pretty clean and seating upstairs. I love their signature camel coffee, however even though they recommend drinking without a straw I can't help but want one with it but overall I love this place and go back all the time.

Loveeeed this place! Super cute little Korean coffee shop right in Echo Park. We got the Camel latte and Matcha latte which were both so good! They advise you before paying that the drinks are smaller sized portions haha which is nice and different from the typical standard sized cafe drink, but the quality and attention to detail really justify the smaller cups. Service took a little long since we came on a busy weekend afternoon, but the staff were super kind and welcoming and helped us easily make our decisions for our drinks. Will definitely be back here soon!

I finally got to try this new coffee spot! Came in on a long weekend and luckily there was no line! I had a hard time deciding between the coffee or the latte and I ended getting the Latte to try. I am glad I got this because this isn't the typical ice latte you get. This has a hint of orange in there that makes it blend into the coffee really well. I really enjoyed my iced latte. I can't wait to come back and try the iced coffee next time.

Visited this spot on a Saturday morning and the line was out the door, but it moved quickly. We had no issues parking on a residential street nearby. There seemed to be seating upstairs since customers were moving around but I didn't see it myself. We ordered the camel coffee and camel matcha. Like all the other reviews mention, the servings are tinier than what you get at other shops but price is comparable (around $7). I was skeptical about the size of the drink but I will say the caffeine was the perfect amount for me! These drinks were very unique - there was some type of umami flavor in our drinks that I couldn't compare to any other coffee/matcha. The cream is sweet and the matcha is high quality, and the coffee was balanced. I would visit again when in the area!

Parking: street, ok during the weekday but probably really hard to get a spot on the weekend. I went on Friday around 10:30 and waiting in line for 5-10 mins. The line moves fast and they work fast. Staff was friendly, even asked how to spell my name instead of assuming. The branding is on point with the interior being very warm and vintage. Minimal seating available upstairs and outside. Camel Coffee - small but mighty. Creamy goodness with a shot of espresso. Matcha latte - good! I appreciated it. Nothing amazing tho. Americano - decent

Came here on a Saturday at around 1ish and waited 15 minutes, but I didn't mind that at all. I came here with my cousins and I didn't know about the hype. To keep this short and sweet (like their drinks :p, pun intended) the coffee + the experience was very pleasant. 4/5 stars because of the price in relation to the sizes. I wasn't expecting the small sizes, but I wasn't mad at it. I originally ordered the camel latte, however it didn't blend well with my taste buds and I asked for just a classic vanilla latte which they graciously remade. Due to the busy line, I was a bit hesitant to ask, however when I did, I was met with warmth and empathy. The vanilla latte was sooo delicious and creamy. Def worth checking out when in the area :)

I really didn't want to believe it, but this place truly is worth the hype. You'll have to wait about 30 mins in line until you get to the order counter, but they be pumping those babies out at a pretty rapid pace. So you really don't have to wait long after you order. I'm honestly marveled at the fact that they work so quickly, yet are still able to maintain CONSISTENCY in quality. So far I've tried the camel coffee, camel latte, and the cream cup, and I must say they're all exquisite. My personal favorite was the camel coffee, but I do find myself craving the camel latte pretty often as well. The latte is made with orange and mocha, undoubtedly one of the greatest combos in the world, and it's pretty much the best mocha latte you'll ever have, no joke. There's limited indoor seating at the first and second level, but if you can manage to snag a table then it's a great atmosphere to have a little chitchat and take a break from the chaos that is Silver Lake. SIDE NOTE: If you're lucky enough to get there when they still have some tigre cakes left, GET THEM. PLEASE. They're basically chocolate chip madeleines with a caramelized sugar coating. UMM, EXCUSE ME??? You'll see what I mean after you try them. Thank me later, I'll be checking my messages. Thnx. Enjoy, xo.

The COFFEE GAME IS VERY STRONG. This new coffee shop from Seoul has been filling my social media feed, so I had to see what the hype was all about. If there is a downside about this location is parking. As long as you avoid the peak hours, there should be available street parking. This exterior has a hand written sign and the interior is a two-story building with a lounge on the second floor with tables and seats. I love the vintage vibe with a wood and earthy tone. What I ordered: Latte - This wonderful drink presented with coffee art. However, for one to see it, the lid must be removed. Mine was a double heart design. Next the taste. It was Arabica coffee with a hint of orange juice or grind in the coffee. Their coffee is comparable to Bacha coffee, but I tasted the freshness of the orange. It was a WONDERFUL BALANCE.

Camel coffee and coffee latte both 10/10!! I wish we lived closer and I'm jealous my brother gets to stop here daily! The line was out the door but it moved super quick, the staff was knowledgeable and able to help me make my choice. Cute little coffee shop vibes inside, can't wait to go back!

I'm so excited that Camel Coffee is here in LA! It is a popular Korean cafe chain in South Korea. I came on a Wed morning and waited in a long line that was spilling out on to the sidewalk. The line moved fairly quickly though and the drinks came out even faster! Workers were fast and friendly--the Korean way = efficiency!! I tried the Camel Coffee and the Camel Latte and OMG the CAMEL COFFEE was probably one of the best coffees I've ever had. So well balanced between strong and sweet. I love when my coffee isn't too sweet or too milky. It was perfect! The Camel Latte also had a subtle orange taste which was tasty and unique! I enjoyed it more than I thought I would since I'm not an orange/chocolate combo fan. I wanted to get the M.S.G.R (misugaru) drink for my daughter but unfortunately, they were all out so we didn't get to try it. They didn't have any other non-caffeinated options on the menu but they were able to make a chocolate milk for her which was okay. I hope they can add a few more kid-friendly drink options in the future. We were lucky enough to snag some seats upstairs. They don't have much seating inside which is one downside of this place. We also tried their pastries (pain au chocolat, kouign amann, le tigre) and they were all delicious! Despite the couple disappointments, I will still give this place 5 stars because the coffee was just THAT good! Can't wait to have it again! Parking: street/meter

Coffee is simple and delicious. Two favorites are the Iced Camel Latte $6.25 and Camel Coffee $5.50. Latte consists of orange, choco, milk, and espresso. Coffee is just cream, milk, and espresso. Latte is sweeten by the orange and choco. They happened to be out of the choco this time around and I actually preferred it that way, it's not as sweet. Their coffee is so fresh and strong that it really doesn't need anything. Only wish it was slightly bigger or if there was a large option for purchase. Always left wanting more of it.

Stopped by on a Saturday at 9am and there was already a short line that got longer as time went by. I got the camel coffee because that's their signature. The first thing you'll notice is the size is smaller-- there's less milk/water. I loved the drink! The flavor was amazing, it was sweet and creamy, and honestly 10/10. There is a small upstairs seating area but I didn't see many outlets. Parking is street parking!

The hype is so overdone at this place but that's LA for ya. Staff is very nice and helpful. The interior has a unique and cool layout with the second story seating. I ordered the Camel coffee which the cashier told me is super strong. Quite frankly, it's not strong at all. It does have good flavor and it isn't bitter plus the cream top adds just a touch of sweetness. It's not coffee I would go out of my way for.

Wait was around 20-30 min to order on a Sunday afternoon, and another 5-10 min to get our drinks. Outside, they have tarps to provide shade for people waiting in line which was very appreciated in the summer heat! Inside is a bit packed because of the long line to order and people waiting for their drinks. There is some upstairs seating available. I ordered the camel matcha. A bit pricey for the size (the cups for the camel drinks are much smaller) but it was good quality matcha and not overly sweet.

This place lives up to the hype. The branding, the drinks, and the service are all you can wish for. I love the triangle layout and the simplicity of the design. It's very old-school and nostalgic. What we ordered: - Camel matcha ($5.50): The perfect sweetness and balance. The only downfall is how small the drink is. - Camel latte ($6.25): The flavor was just okay. I'd prefer the camel coffee more. You should expect a line but it moves fast. There is minimal seating upstairs. You have to find parking in the surrounding neighborhoods.

The good: I got the Camel latte which was their espresso with chocolate and orange flavors. I love the orange shaped orange chocolate candy so it was an easy decision to try this signature drink. The cashier was friendly and patient in explaining the menu. I came in a Sunday morning and waited under 5 minutes to order. I love the unique interior with the shiny wood paneling everywhere and the MCM art. The bad: I think the Camel latte was a bit too sweet. There's only street parking. There's no indoor waiting area or much space to wait for your drinks. I'm not a mocha fan and tend not to like chocolate in my coffee but I love citrus flavors in my coffee so I wish there was an option for the latte with just orange and not chocolate. They didn't have 2% milk. The interesting: They sell a few pastries. They're from Korea and aren't a franchise. They have a small upstairs loft space with stools and bench seating.

I would say that it's probably one of the best tasting cream top matchas in LA. Very strong matcha and the cream top was light and creamy! Although it was delicious, the only downside was that the cup is tinyyy!! There's only one cashier so depending on the time you go, the line may or may not be long and move quickly. Luckily, I went pretty early so I didn't have to wait that long. The people working there are super nice. It's a bit small inside and there's not that much seating. It is very aesthetic though!

I've heard about the hype and seen the long lines into this coffee shop...and it lives to its reputation! 10/10 would come again. Drink: I got the Camel, which consists of a cream top milk and double shot of espresso. Upon receiving my drink, the barista told me not to stir the drink - I understand why! Sipping from the top you get the sweetness of the cream top which compliments the espresso. It's not super sweet (which I love) & the drink tasted consistent to the very end. Would 10/10 get this again. Service: The cashier and barista were very friendly! The cashier explained to me the different drinks, and clarified that the Camel comes in a smaller cup than a normal latte. Very considerate staff & all have clear communication. Ambiance: I went at 7:35 on a Tuesday morning and there was already a small line of ppl! Most of these people seemed like they were going to grab their morning coffee and head out since the shop was empty. There's upstairs eating & some bar seating. I saw one outlet upstairs, I am unsure if there is public wifi here. I would probably come here to read a book.
