La La Land Kind Cafe

La La Land at The Grove is the cutest little coffee spot—bright, cheerful, and full of good vibes. The coffee and matcha are absolutely delicious, and everything feels thoughtfully crafted. The avocado toasts hit the spot if you are looking for a quick bite. It’s a perfect place to grab a pick-me-up while shopping or strolling around the mall. The line can get a bit long, especially on weekends, but it’s totally worth the wait. Such a charming spot with great drinks and a fun, feel-good atmosphere!

The store interior is neat with a white and yellow theme. It is a busy store, but it is clean, and the staff provide friendly service. We ordered two coffee lattes and two matcha teas. The matcha teas were a mix of lavender and strawberry. They looked pretty when they were first made, but when the two flavors were mixed, the matcha tea flavor was weaker and the lavender flavor was not as good as it should have been, so we were a little disappointed.

I have only had dirty matcha at this location. The flavor is very nice. Staff is not very welcoming, but they are composed. The ambience is truly what makes this place. The interior has a clean backdrop which is perfect for photos. The outdoor seating is my favorite. I love to sit in the sun, sip on matcha, and admire the fashion choices of people walking by. It's perfect if you're there to have a gentle experience and settle into the moment of beauty.

Order online! Don’t wait in the ridiculously long line. We did get in line at first and when I pulled up their site, saw that you can mobile order online. So much faster and easier. I got the milk and honey latte (hot) and the cookies n’ dream latte (iced). My friend got the lavender bloom matcha latte (iced). We both enjoyed our drinks. I would absolutely get the same drinks again or try other ones. Service wise, can’t say much since we left the line. But our coffees were ready timely after ordering online and everyone working seemed nice! Btw, they have the cutest yellow heart straws. Parking - you’re at the Grove or Original Farmers Market. So you had to park somewhere at those 2 locations and walked over to the store.

Great place to relax inside and outside side. The inside seating is super comfortable. The service was super fast on their app. They did make one error on one drink but corrected it very quickly. There are so many different types of drinks to choose from and pastries. This place seems to be for adults. I didn't notice children drinks. This is a great place to visit and enjoy a quality beverage.

It was very nice, the staff was also nice, and the matcha was also good. The line was very long so definitely set out some time in order to get this matcha. It was a normal price of matcha around 6.50 - 7 dollars. The line was very long but we went on a Saturday afternoon. Recommend the banana matcha and anything else! The straws are very strong.

I have been dying, literally dying, to go here. I saw many aesthetically pleasing videos that made me want to go; may I even say ravenous. My expectations were up to the sky when the day came to finally go to this beautiful coffee shop, and I was bursting with excitement. I was speed walking to the store, and nothing could get in my way, not even the silently judging pedestrians. As I got in line, I was taken aback by the beauty of the store I ordered my drink and waited. The drink came out shockingly fast, which should have been my first red flag. I took a sip and was utterly repulsed by the flavors in my mouth; I couldn't believe it. It felt like when you see someone wear a mask and they look like a decent person, and then they take it off, and it's pure disappointment. It tastes like a coffee my mom makes for herself in the morning: no love, lifeless, and without any inspiration. No wonder it came out in like three seconds. I will never be influenced by people who don't truly know what coffee should taste like.

The matcha was very good but the wait was over 45 minutes long 🫠 I personally don't think it's worth waiting that much for a drink.

I had such a beautiful experience at La La Land Kind Café on Third Street today, thanks to Jewels! I stopped by on Valentine's Day, hoping to get one of the pink cups from their promotion, but by the time I reached the register, I was told they were all gone. I didn't mind at all--the staff was kind, efficient, and made my visit great. I wore a full pink outfit for the day, and they did not hesitate to compliment. As I was leaving, Jewels handed me some flowers to brighten my cup, which was already such a sweet touch. But what truly amazed me was that as I walked all the way to my car down the street, I suddenly heard someone running after me--Jewels had found one last pink cup and went out of her way to track me down just to give it to me! I was so touched by her kindness that I had to give her a big hug. This small but deeply thoughtful gesture made my Valentine's Day so special. Jewels embodies the heart of La La Land Kind Café, and I truly hope her kindness is recognized. Thank you Jewels for taking an extra step & making my day unforgettable! I love the Chandelier here it is gorgeously placed .

Although the cafe's aesthetic lives up to its reputation, their drinks were okay. I've been to the Lala Land Kind cafe multiple times, but at a different location (W 3rd Street). I ordered my usual Lala Latte and also the new Matcha Squared. Both lovely drinks. Matcha Squared is every Matcha lover's dream drink. The matcha was balanced well with the milk and the matcha foam was delicious. I was quite disappointed that the Pistachio Milk, was only available at the W 3rd Street branch. So our Lala Latte wasn't as tasty as it usually is. Servers were very friendly! So that was definitely a plus. But I would stick with the other branch

My overall experience here was not the best. For starters, the line was very long and it was very packed in the store. The baristas were friendly, but the experience was still very chaotic. I wished they had menus that you could look at while you're in line since it is pretty extensive. I think that may have contributed to the long wait time. I ordered an iced matcha and it was mediocre at best. It tasted pretty watered down and it was unfortunately not enjoyable. However, the store was aesthetically pleasing. I personally don't think this is worth the wait.

My sister and I came here during the holiday season. This place was very aesthetically pleasing to the eyes... though, the staff at the time didn't do a very great job at picking up, and cleaning off the tables/seating area. I know this because we stood in line for a verrrry long time and the cute, middle seating area was left a mess for a while. They were pretty busy though so I'll give them that... eh. As I mentioned before, we waited a good amount of time in line. Slowly inched up, little by little, checking out whatever merch was on the wall as we moved up. They had cute, simple merch. I considered their mugs (I love mugs) but it's gotta be undeniably cute for me to not turn down and this just wasn't cute enough for me to pull the trigger (trying to do better with my spendings). When it was finally our turn to order, our girl tried her best to be friendly... I'm sure it's been a day. She wasn't rude but I could tell-- she was over her work shift lol. I got the Cookies n' Dream Latte. Wasn't the best thing I've ever had but I did enjoy it. I'd order it again. I can't remember if my sister got the Matcha Latte or the Creme Brulee Latte. It was one of the two. Pretty sure she liked it, but she's also infamous for never finishing her drinks. If we hadn't already eaten lunch before stopping here, I would've definitely tried one of their pastries or their avocado toasts. If I'm ever in the area and happen to walk by this place again, I wouldn't be opposed to going. Would love to try new items and hopefully update my review for the better. I will say... if the line is as long as it was when we went-- I'll pass.

Such a cute spot love this place. Had "The world's best Vanilla Latte" which was so yummy would definitely order again. Service was Great the person taking our order was friendly and helpful. Can't wait to stop back in and try a couple other things on their menu and buy a hat

I really wanted to love this place, but after giving it two chances at different locations, I just can't. I ordered the Butterfly Matcha Latte and French Toast Latte, and both were disappointingly bland--I could barely taste anything beyond the milk, which itself tasted watered down. At this point, I wouldn't even call it coffee; it's more like a cup of milk with sugar, missing the depth of flavor it should have. I appreciate creativity in drinks, but if the taste doesn't deliver, it's hard to justify coming back. I will say, the aesthetics of the place are beautiful, but beyond that, there's nothing special here.

2/5 Mango passion fruit cooler with coconut cloud ($6.30) was too sweet. Didn't have enough of a tart passion fruit flavor. 2/5 Hot chocolate tastes like Nesquik powder. Disappointing. Hot chocolate is supposed to have actual chocolate & taste like actual chocolate. I make better hot chocolate.

I loveee La La Land!! So yummy, must try the Upside down matcha latte it's sweet and has caramel. Today i tried the Squared Matcha latte which is a ceremonial grade matcha latte. It was so good and tasted high quality! Service is okay, always a long line, limited seating inside.

Always delish and a wait lol! Enjoy their amazing croissants and baked goods. They're literally to die for. I love the relaxed luxury of each location and their overall aesthetic.

人世間沒有什麼事不會改變的，只有你有選擇的權利，才是最好的狀態～ Lala Land，終於有機會來朝聖這家這麼有名的網紅咖啡廳，遠遠地走過來就看到他們真的好美的擺飾，點飲料時發現他們的抹茶拿鐵，真的很好喝耶，因為沒有事先做功課也不曉得什麼是他們這有名的飲料，我跟朋友隨便點了兩倍，都很滿意，朋友還點了個餅乾，他也喜歡吃，我是覺得餅乾太甜了啦，要是有機會來 The Grove,可以順便來這家有名的網紅咖啡廳歐！

I was SO excited to finally try La La Land after seeing raving reviews of the drinks and aesthetic on social media. I got the Perfect Matcha, which was quite deceiving because it hardly tasted like matcha. All of my friends got their drinks before me despite me ordering first. It wasn't until I asked the very nice workers and realized they had made the Perfect Latte (coffee base) instead. They quickly re-made it to the matcha, but there was absolutely ZERO matcha flavor. the color was so pale, and I wondered if they had made the wrong drink again. I talked to the worker again, and she gave me an extra shot of matcha which made the drink a lot better, and told me to just order the drink with a double shot next time, but it raises the question, what makes it the "Perfect Matcha" if you have to modify it in order to be drinkable?

This cafe is hidden in a corner of the grove and there was a line stretching all the way outside and further. I'm glad it was open on New Years Day! We waited in line for 30 minutes to order. There were so many unique options I wanted to try them all! Their matcha was delicious and high quality. I love the yellow look of the lids. If you want to try a unique coffee/latte, definitely give it a try!

Went to an event at the Grove and decided to come get a drink here afterward. We came on a Saturday so the line was pretty long but it moved by fairly quickly. The aesthetic inside the cafe is very beautiful and monochromatic. I ended up getting the French Toast Latte which had maple, cinnamon, and espresso and it turned out pretty good. For the holidays, all of their cups are adorned with red lids and sleeves, which is super fun and festive. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back.

I visited La La Land during the week, and it was busy like a weekend crowd. This was my first time there, drawn in by all the hype on tik tok. The menu has a wide selection of hot and cold drinks, and I downloaded the app to earn points and potentially order ahead for future visits. At first, the menu felt overwhelming because everything looked enticing, but I decided to go with something new and simple: "The Logan" on ice, which promised notes of maple and vanilla. When I reached the counter, barista Reese was incredibly helpful and patient, guiding me through my options. I added oat milk and vanilla cold foam, and thanks to the app, my first drink was half off, bringing it to around $3 a great steal for a new drink! However, when my drink arrived, I noticed it lacked the promised maple flavor and the cold foam was missing. While I understand it was busy, it was disappointing not to get what I ordered. The drink itself wasn't very sweet and could have benefited from some additional flavoring to match the description. Overall, my experience was okay but not stellar. I might give it another try to explore different options before deciding if it's just a trendy spot or truly serves some of the best iced coffees at The Grove.

I had been wanting to try this coffee shop for a while so I was really excited when I had the chance to go. I went on a Saturday morning and it was busy. The line was almost to the door but I have to say that the wait was worth it. I ordered an iced la la latte. It was sweet and really tasty. It's a nice place to grab a coffee and enjoy it while you shop around the grove. The workers seemed to enjoy their job. They were happy and having a fun time. Plus they have a lot of staff so that means the orders come out faster.

Although it is quite expensive, this place is gorgeous and has delicious drinks and toasts. Everyone is also super nice here, which is always a plus, especially so early in the morning. The sweet staff wrote cute notes on our toast box and was extra chipper handing it to me. Really love the vibe of this one place. There is some seating indoors, but mostly outdoor seating. Very aesthetic and great for the 'gram.

Really good coffee and avocado toast. Good customer service, friendly. The atmosphere is very bright and delightful. It can take a while to get the food, The coffee was very smooth and delicious

Waaay too overhyped! Cute cafe and location great but the drinks fall short. We ordered the Strawberry Fields Latte through the app to avoid the ridiculously long line. Latte came out pretty quick. Quality cup and looks very pretty. However, the matcha was weak and watered down. You could barely taste the matcha and the strawberry tasted powdery. Drink was $7.20 which is too expensive! Definitely a gimmicky spot in my opinion..not worth the hype.

This is a cute and relaxed coffee shop with a variety of open-faced toasts, pastries, baked goods, snacks, and a selection of teas and blended tea and coffee drinks. It's located in The Grove on "Bow Street" which is the small mall street walkway with lights hanging over it on the north side of the mall, west of the fountains. Right now they also have a makeup pop-up for Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez inside. They have inside and outside seating with fresh flowers. It can get pretty packed on weekends. Their "signature drink" right now is a Peach Matcha Latte (ICED & MATCHA) made with natural peach puree and matcha tea. They have rotating seasonal favorite drinks as well.

Cute and trendy cafe spot! I got the hot matcha latte and a croissant for breakfast. Place was packed and there was a line out the door. Good place for a quick bite to eat. There is a nice seating area outside.

Lil cute boutique /influencer coffee spot Tip: go to sees candy first , get some chocolate and eat it with a bit coffee The coffee i would compare to 85 degrees, the staff is excellent which is why i would actually come back I def would choose this over Starbucks But if i had to choose this over the bar next to the Nike store ... mmmmi would take the e bar, less foot traffic , not so crowded with " influencers " much better coffee

The strawberry shortcake latte was good, place is super cute. Staff could be friendlier.. never called my name and just had me waiting for over 10 mins.

LOVE!! Absolutely amazing. The employees were kind, the drinks were delicious, and the vibes were immaculate. This is exactly what I imagine from an LA matcha shop. My only negative/criticism would be the prices. Take a buck off and it would be a perfect 10/10! Service: 4/5 Food: 5/5 Price: 3/5 Atmosphere: 5/5

One of the best places to purchase tasty drinks and pastries. I love the vegan blueberry muffin paired with a Lavender Bloom Matcha drink. The service was overall good. This location is in a high traffic area at the grove. The line is usually long but you get your order very quickly.

this was just a bad visit overall. the only thing positive about my experience was my drink ive been to a few of the other la la land kind coffee shops and this one def missed the marks across the board it was not busy i was the only one that walked in, then a couple walked in a few mins after me i didnt know what i wanted so, the couple ordered first. the cashier was super friendly and attentive to them... no greeting upon entering the establishment the greeting of "ready?" when i was ready to order i wanted to order the white chocolate latte but a magnetic was placed over it saying "sold out" sometimes cafes will make another drink that is similar. i asked the cashier what ingredient was sold out for the white chocolate latte, she said "what?" i repeated my question, she then asked someone saying they think they have it a few mins later... "we have the drink" i went ahead and ordered the iced white chocolate latte. paid. she asked for me name and that was it a few mins later my name was called, i picked up my drink and no "thank you" or "have a nice day" nothing. there was no customer service. such a shame bc its such a cute cafe. touristy and the brand sells itself. the white mocha latte was so good. perfect sweetness! i will def be back try other drinks, but will not be visiting this location. tons of seating avail inside and outside! parking: i was dropped off. but there is valet ($20/first 2 hrs), parking garage and surface lot near the farmers market, that certain merchants will validate

Disappointed with the service! We visited La La Land, stood in line for 20 minutes and ordered 5 coffees, paying for them upfront. After 40 minutes of waiting, they only made 2 coffees. When we asked about the remaining 3, we were told that the order "didn't go through" - even though we clearly paid for all 5. It took another 10 minutes to finally get the remaining 3 coffees. The lack of organization and poor communication made it a bad experience. Definitely not what we expected.

Waited 45 minutes in a line that was out the door, there was one register open (understandable to not overwhelm the number of orders). Ordered 3 drinks - Hot chocolate Cookies n Dream latte Upside down latte (paid additional for la la cloud but it was forgotten). Paid a little over $21 for the three drinks. For the wait, the coffee was pretty underwhelming. It was truthfully similar to a $0.99 iced coffee McDonald's. The best part is the aesthetic, the location is quite nice and vibrant with lots of cool/hip merch.

While I still stand by the majority of my previous review, I must admit that my drink order this time was tasty, to my surprise. I ordered the classic La La Latte with regular milk and extra sweetened (more of the cloud and vanilla bean). It was honestly better than I expected (which was mediocre) with the flavor and sweetness to my liking. While it is very busy at this location, we received our drinks fairly quickly which was great. The prices remain inflated which is unfortunately one of the biggest downsides as proportions are not adequate. The interior does remain very aesthetically appealing with a very clean look!

The cafe is gorgeous, I absolutely love the aesthetic in here! Lots of cute photo ops that you can take with your drink! The service was great, handled the very long line with kindness and patience. Although the line was long, after I ordered I got my drink pretty quick! I do have to say that the drinks are just okay. I was really excited for the matcha but it tasted a bit watered down. I would love to try other options here next time.

We had upside down and blueberry matcha. They tasted good, it was weekdays, so it was convenient to sit and enjoy the lattes. Would come visit again.

Got the banana cream top latte matcha. It was pretty good (doesn't come in the cute cup). Pro tip - order online, SO much faster than the line.

Never seen anything like this. Seven employees, most hanging out and chatting with each other while 40 customers were waiting in line to order. It took 45 minutes to place the order and another 15 minutes to get coffee after ordering! My $8. latte was ok...I felt foolish for waiting so long for it.

We were in the grove and wanted coffee so of course we came here since it's cute and nice to step in here. It's the place that always gets posted on social media here. Coffee was okay, it wasn't like amazing or anything... Had their La La latte and their perfect latte. Makes me think they need to come up with better names for some of their coffees like "perfect latte" or "worlds best.." Don't get me wrong it can be decent, but it's a little hard to simply recommend someone unless you just need some kind of coffee while at the grove. Service is nice and friendly. Inside is nice and there are seats outside as well, but it's mainly for lounging and not recommended as a place to study/work.

Everything here is horrifically overpriced. On Uber Eats, they have sandwiches (?) on the menu, though I didn't find it anywhere else. So I ordered an Italian, and it's meant to be like a pressed flatbread. Here in the photo you can see the most disappointing excuse for a sandwich I've ever seen. This is $13.90... they put turkey on an Italian! Also I ordered it to be cut in half, and they didn't do that? It's the one thing I asked for? Packaging is cool, but I don't eat packaging.

My favorite place to get coffee in LA! Everything about this place is super cute and aesthetic, an I love the messages. I order the Upside Down Latte every time and it hits the spot. I was told it's the sweetest drink there and in my opinion, the coffee taste is still prominent and isn't as sweet as other drinks from other places (coming from someone who gets drinks super sweet). Very LA and if you're visiting, I would recommend!

My friends wanted to try La La Land so we decided to try it out. I felt like this cafe was pretentious -- it looked so promising but wasn't that good / did not live up to its expectation. As a matcha connoisseur... the quality of matcha here was honestly not the best D: Im someone who hates spending $$$$$ on drinks that I don't end up liking. Nonetheless, I liked that they had a variety of options of matcha flavors (it just wasn't good) !! I personally like if you order matcha & are paying $8 for it, it should at least be high quality matcha. The aesthetic and overall interior/exterior was saur pretty though. The line was pretty long when I went too -- not rly worth the wait in my opinion. I probably won't come back but it was nice to try out at least once :-)

Very cute space and decor! I came on a Sunday afternoon and waited 10ish minutes in line. I tried the perfect latte, perfect matcha, and pumpkin spice latte. I thought the perfect latte was the best! It was not too sweet and had a lovely, slightly maple-y flavor. The perfect matcha and pumpkin spice latte were good but SUPER sweet - I would definitely get it 1/2 sweet next time. The price was also a little high - a perfect matcha with oat milk was $7.55 for a small size.

This La La Land Kind Cafe is located in the Grove and was the perfect spot for a little pick-me-up while in the area. We were shopping around and touring the Grove and my cousins really wanted a coffee. There were a few spots to choose from around but we landed on La La Land because they had a great selection including a whole matcha menu... my heaven. The spot as a whole is super clean, crisp, and dare I say... aesthetic? From the outside area with bright yellow flowers and some outdoor seating to the inside with some nice merch on display and a giant chandelier, the spot is very picture-worthy. The line to grab a drink or bite was pretty long but moved super fast. There's a pretty sizeable menu to choose from so make sure to take a look at it while in line. I ended up getting the butterfly matcha latte (two of my fav things combined) and it was as good as I expected it to be. Not too sweet and provided a good amount of energy. One of my cousins couldn't help but grab a hat from their merch line. They had really cute pieces with funny sayings like, "Don't be a dick" and "Be Fuckin Kind" and even the standard La La Land with a simple design. Overall, a super cute spot in The Grove!

Decent price, great company motto, very cute interior, and actual quality matcha! Usually some of these trendy shops don't deliver in quality matcha taste but this is a far better option then many of the popular franchises. It's not very chalky, not from premade powders but from authentic matcha powder and you adjust your own sweetness/customizations. Don't need to go out of your way for this but if you ever are craving matcha in the plazas that has la la land, this is definitely the one you should go with.

The set up is very Hollywood type of an allure. They have all the bright colors to draw the eye in. The service was ok, standard. Nothing really stood out about that for me. I didn't get to try any snacks but the coffee was ok. They even have a CBD option which I thought was interesting. Haven't seen that before. I will say went for the experience. I love trying new coffee shops. I got a french toast latte it wasn't bad aI like the little messages on the cups. I think the coffee was not bad !

The CUTEST little cafe for a fun little drink! Stopped by with my friends on a Sunday afternoon. We got a variety of drinks, I did the butterfly pea matcha and a chocolate chip cookie. They were both incredible! I loved the decor and the merch available - can't wait to visit again!

Came in for the cute pink cups, stayed for the awesome vanilla latte and honey matcha latte. The girl at the counter was super cute and when I asked her for her favorites turned into MY favorites 10/10 recommend. Good coffee good atmosphere great aesthetic.

Came here for the first time and it was a wonderful experience! We happened to come on the day they were celebrating their 5 year anniversary, so every signature drink order was given a free cup and tote bag (so we got 3). The service was fantastic! The girl that took my order was extremely friendly when taking my order. The place was packed, I mean it's a popular place so expect lines. You can order online if you don't want to wait as long. There's plenty of outdoor seating, but limited inside. The drink I got was good. I like lavender lattes, it's my "go-to" when I'm visiting a new place. The drinks themselves seemed to be nothing outta this world. But overall it's a great experience and I recommend checking this place out.

A cool spot to check out if you're visiting LA for the first time, but the coffee is overpriced and subpar at best. There are definitely better options nearby.

Honestly, I was so surprised to have visited this cutie of a place. I always saw on social media the extremely long lines and honestly I'm not one to wait for coffee like that lol. I came on a Saturday and the line was short! The cashier was super friendly and kind, he had a very welcoming attitude and made ordering a sweet experience. The aesthetic is definitely something photoesque and I see why so many people love taking photos here. I ordered the iced upside down latte. For once this coffee shop had interesting drinks that most cafes do not carry. The iced upside down latte was such a good coffee drink. I don't know if it's because I really was craving coffee in that moment or what, but I could really taste the espresso, it was really flavorful. Sometimes I get a coffee that the espresso just tastes like burnt coffee. The added caramel is something I'm personally not use to but it added just the right amount of sweetness! It felt like the Goldilocks of coffee honestly. I really enjoyed sipping on this while going around at the grove! The perfect little pick me up. I will definitely be stopping here again when I want to stroll around the grove again.

After seeing this cafe on instagram, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the drinks here. The ambiance is aesthetic and vibrant. I enjoyed the honey strawberry toast and the la la latte. A great place to have a coffee chat with friends and lots of outdoor seating! Follow @cafestudyability on instagram for more!

We have been to this location a few times now. I can't say the staff is the friendliest but I cannot say they are rude either. The past few times it just seems like they are processing coffee orders and more interested in socializing with the other staff. I got the iced best vanilla latte ever and I must say it was pretty good. I got it once with oatmilk and once with nonfat (the oatmilk was better, w/nonfat milk it had no flavor). They have quite a few options of coffees, teas, and bites to eat. A little more expensive than your everyday chain coffee shop but on occasion I think it is good, especially when in the area. They also have some retail items for sale (hats, shirts, ect). For sure a neat, different place to check out while visitng the Grove in LA.

Their blue matcha is very sweet. They are right ...it does taste like fruity pebbles or cereal milk.

5 stars due to service! A delightfully helpful crew - I wanted a souvenir t-shit, but they were out of them on the ship floor, nor in the back storage area. One of the members went to their storage area and found one for me - terrific service! The lounge area is airy and inviting; plenty of room to enjoy a beverage. The matcha shot tasted authentic. I could t decide between the cold beverages, so my daughter got an iced green mango and I got an iced mango passion fruit. The green mango was my favorite; a nice balance of green tea and mango, slightly sweet. The passion fruit was a little too sweet, but the flavor was a nice dessert.
