LA’s New Restaurant Openings

"One of Koreatown’s most popular cafes has expanded to the South Bay, with cream-topped Vienna lattes (which look like fancy milkshakes) and a new bright-purple ube buttercream latte. This location looks to have more tables than the original, but if the lines are anything similar, it’d probably still work best as a pick-up spot." - cathy park

Yeems Coffee is a gem! The iced Vienna latte was incredible. It is the perfect mix of coffee and sweet, fluffy cream on top. I also tried the almond Danish and plain croissant, and both were fresh, buttery, and absolutely delicious. It’s a popular spot, so there can be a bit of a wait, but the cozy location and great quality make it totally worth it. Great vibe, amazing coffee, and pastries.

Tried the Vienna Latte and the Buttercream Latte, both were delicious!!! A little on the sweeter side. I did not try any food this time, but they had pastries available. The line was long, but my order came out quickly. The staff was kind and efficient. I would definitely crave this again! $7 per latte (alt milk) before taxes.

Went here on a Saturday morning before heading to the beach and there was a line wrapping outside the building. I do not recall how long we waited outside in line, but once we ordered inside, we got our drinks in less than ten minutes. I do not live near the area, but this place seems more of a grab and go than a Starbucks where you can take your laptop and do homework/work. The staff was ok. The Vienna latte was good and creamy. I did not really like the ube buttercream.

Gardena Location's Opening Hours: Monday - Saturday 7am to 2:30pm Sunday 8am to 2:30pm DRINKS 4/5 I had the Vienna Matcha, the Vienna cream is the biggest difference on "why" its so delish. - TINY DISAPPOINTMENT - The matcha wasn't made fresh it was pre-made in a container. Vienna Matcha is bold in flavor as the drink is crafted to satisfy matcha lovers with its creamy richness. Sweetened with Agave and topped off with our house-made drizzle for an extra layer of matcha! Would love to try their buttercream or strawberry matcha. PARKING 5/5 Easy parking within shopping complex or on W 154th place. CUSTOMER SERVICE 4/5 No issues from a grab-n-go type service

I tried the Ube Buttercream Latte at Yeems Coffee in Gardena, and it totally lived up to the hype. The flavor is rich and smooth with that signature earthy ube taste, but the buttercream adds this sweet, almost dessert-like finish. It’s definitely a treat drink, not something I’d grab every day. But for when I want something different and indulgent, it hits the spot. The latte is on the pricier side ($7), so it’s a bit of a splurge, but the quality and flavor made it worth it for me. The shop itself has a cozy vibe, great for relaxing or catching up with a friend. If you’re into unique coffee flavors or just love ube, I’d say give it a try.

This spot just open, the line wait is pretty busy. We ordered 5 drinks in total and waited under 5 mins. The cashier was super helpful and nice. She recommended the Vienna Latte 10/10. Thank you again. My favorites so far Vienna Latte and Buttercream latte, 2 favorites so far under specialty drinks. Will be coming back and highly recommended for the outstanding service. Thank you.

Sooooo creamy, smooth finish, not too sweet, decadent and very satisfying. Their Buttercream latte is exceptional. I enjoyed my drink thoroughly. Son loved his Americano. Parking is cramped and spaces are compact. Spot stays bustling with activity but don't miss out. I will be a repeat customer. My only critique is they should have bigger sizes. I wanted MORE.

This was my third time at YEEMS now and after trying another one of their specialty drinks (I had the Vienna Matcha the first time), I can confidently say this place is valid, even though most people know this! FREE PARKING right outside in the lot! It's located in a complex so there are other restaurants nearby to check out. Expect a line at their peak hours, and not too many seats available but about 3 tables for 2-3 people each, a small couch area, and a seating area for a group up to 4-5 towards the front. There is a gender-neutral bathroom. VIENNA MATCHA-- 10/10 creaminess, fresh and clear matcha, not overly sweet on the sugar, very well balanced! UBE BUTTERCREAM MATCHA-- 8/10 I was nervous for this one but I was satisfied! Good boost of caffeine, only thing is it turned my tongue and teeth kind of dark so wouldn't drink if you are on a first date or have a meeting to attend right after. The staff was actually very kind to answer questions I had about this drink. It was not too sweet at all, well balanced in flavor for me, although my friends thought it just tasted like coffee (they are not big coffee people or ube people but I do and I liked it!) The store is pretty clean and you can tell the staff work efficiently and meticulously

OK, so today September 12 makes it my second time visiting this coffee shop. It's always busy. Today I got the buttercream latte and I told her to make it extra sweet and it was. I would describe correct me if I'm wrong Asian coffee more so on the serious side so like with Starbucks and a lot of other places where it's heavily infused with syrups and sweeteners I would say with Asian coffee you really do taste the coffee and less of the other ingredients so if you're into that and you like more sturdy coffee drinks, I would recommend this place 10 toes down . There was no bitter taste so I could tell and can say that the flavor was balanced although I am the type of person that when I order a specialized coffee drink or Matcha I look for it to have that in it. So with this drink, I was really looking for a strong buttercream taste The other time I went was my first time when I got the Ube Matcha latte that drink could've been sweeter and maybe a little heavier with the ube flavor I'm a fan of Ube -- the drinks are very pretty and you do have to stir them so in a way that's my only con because I want the drink to be ready to go I will return, although I must say that their drinks are expensive for the buttercream latte and a danish it was $15 , who in their right mind would pay that every day for some freaking coffee

Tried Yeems for the first time w / some friends and we all got the Vienna Matcha! $7.75 for the drink but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. You could definitely taste the strong matcha flavor although it wasn't bitter or anything. Their matcha is relatively strong and I felt energized the entire day. If you go earlier in the day there's not much of a line, but recommend avoiding peak traffic.

Yeems is a great addition to the SouthBay coffee community. If you consider Gardena part of the SouthBay of course LOL I've been here a couple of times now and love it. There Flat White is 5Stars!! Rich and creamy served at the perfect temperature for drinking. So many places serve it to hot. Also if you order it to drink there you will be served in a ceramic cup. That always elevates the experience and makes he drink taste better :) The staff/baristas are very friendly and nice to have some conversation with if it's not to busy :) I have been coming in around 11am and there is very little line. But if you plane on coming in on a Sat or Sun be ready to wait because the line is usually out the door. But it is that good ;) It's a small/medium size shop with limited seating inside and no seating outside. The shop decor is simple and everything is kept neat and clean. Yeems is located in a strip mall filled with a variety of restaurants. (I recommend CM Chicken ;) There is a private parking lot but it can fill up on the weekends. Street parking is available and can be more convenient.

Ube Buttercream and Vienna Matcha both get a 10/10. Both drinks are equally as good and I would come back to get them again. The buttercream is sweet and salty and the ube is the perfect combination. The matcha is also very good quality and pairs well with the sweet cream.

Came by for some coffee on early Sunday morning. Parking is easy. There is a short line when we got there. This place has a few tables inside the store. We ordered ube butter cream latte and Vienna matcha latte. Ube buttercream latte: decent flavor of ube. It was not overly sweet. Vienna matcha latte: one of the yelpers recommended to not mixing the drink or else it will be too thick. I tried to drink it without mixing, and it was tasteless. The drink tastes better after I mixed it. The texture of the drink was not thick after I mixed it. Price was on the pricy side.

Ive been to both Yeems in Ktown and Gardena and had a better experience at this location! This location has convenient parking and less people waiting. I came on a sunday afternoon. Their matcha einspanner was one of the best ive ever had. However it was disappointing to see that matcha was premade in a container. Regardless, the matcha still tasted high quality.

I felt like Newjeans because after one taste, I said OMG. I was in LB for a Yelp event and I drove here, some freeway driving and some street driving. That Sunday morning was calm and quite but when I arrived, there was so many people inside the café. The latte was so subtle and every drop had the flavor I came for. The bathroom was well kept so that was a plus. The parking lot was a good size since it is in a plaza, and the parking was free. The service was good, they had a few staff working at the time, and my order came out fast considering the amount of customers they had. I will do a review update after a few more visits, I think highly of this place even if I am not in the area much.

there's nothing to say except: GET THE UBE BUTTERCREAM LATTE. I'm still thinking about it a week later. i think they're best known for their vienna latte, and while it's also good, the ube was my clear winner. there was a line of 7 or so ahead of us, but all things considered, it moved pretty quick. they were well-staffed and very efficient. there's some seating inside, but it's limited, so we just took it to go. will definitely be back next time i'm in town.

Decent parking lot and drinks were made quickly. There was a small line out the door, but after I ordered there was a line around the corner. So it definitely depends on timing. The shop is small but is bigger than the LA store. There are some more tables and more standing room. The drinks seemed pretty consistent although I haven't been back to the LA location in awhile. I'm glad there's one in this area tho!

I've been wanting to try this place after craving some delicious coffee. We tried to stop by on a Saturday and saw the line wrapping around the building. Unfortunately, they don't have online ordering on weekends! We didn't have the patience to stand in line that day. We did go later that week on a Tuesday and it was still busy but the line moved fast. The coffee is definitely worth the hype in my opinion! I have gone here another 5 times even tho it's some miles away from me!

I was convinced by my neighbor to try this place again, so I did. And I have updated my score to a 4 :) I got the matcha Vienna latte and it tasted much better if you stir the cream into the drink.

Excellent customer service. Get here early if you need to be somewhere. Waiting in line seems to be the only reason it takes long to get your drink. Other than that, the second you place your coffee order it usually takes about 5-6 min. to get your drink. This place is a good place to get in and out. I don't find it esthetically pleasing to the eye in terms of wanting to stay there at a table for catching up on anything in life. This place seems to be very busy as it has been the last 3x I've been here. Not exactly a place to sit down and do homework. Drinks are solid. Customer service is great. Sitting down at a table enjoying the coffee...not really the place, in my opinion.

Located off Western Ave in Gardena. This location has been through a few businesses just within a couple of years from what I remember it was I think a boba tea drink place then Moana Grill then King Boba now Yeems Coffee. The place has a few tables like before the staff here is friendly and pretty efficient. Even 15 mins before closing with lots of people still ordering and waiting they had a full stuff working hard. I got the Strawberry Matcha Latte w/Oat Milk the gal who took my order was awesome and so friendly even had a brief convo. This spot is in a small plaza where parking can be tough with all the businesses opened and at peak eating times parking can be difficult to find a spot. Overall a great experience here they do close early at 5pm so I always end up not getting here on time when I always wanted to try this place. I will be back soon to try other matcha flavors.

Went on a weekday around 1:45pm; there was a line and it was pretty busy inside! It moved reasonably and my drink was out in under 10 minutes. I got the Vienna matcha, which is one of their more popular drinks! The matcha was good, but nothing outstanding. More on the bitter side, which I liked. The sweetness came from the cream top, which I also liked! It added a nice sweetness and creaminess to balance the matcha latte by itself. Glad I got to try and I did like it but probably not something I'd crave.

Vienna Latte - cream top girlie here. This is about my most favorite iced latte near me. Do yourself a favor and do not mix the cream and latte together, unless you want it to taste like a milkshake. I usually ditch the straw and personally prefer to just drink the latte from the cup with a little bit of cream with each sip. my bf has tried the ube buttercream latte and the strawberry matcha. He said both were good. Line is usually out the door but wait time is about 10 minutes after ordering. Nothing special about ambiance, the seats are usually filled so you have to stand around to wait for your drink(s).

Solid coffee spot! I've visited both the Ktown and this location several times, and I've always enjoyed my drinks. I've tried the Vienna latte and Vienna matcha latte, which are lattes with cream on top. They run a bit too sweet for my liking, but are perfect for people who like sweeter drinks. This location has lots of seating and parking! Service is always friendly, and the pastries are great too.

My sister picked up coffee for us at Yeems. I ordered an Americano with no ice to be enjoyed the next day. It's strong and I diluted it a bit, so that's good. My sister got the Vienna and matcha lattes and she thought it was good and well worth the trip. Overall a solid coffee shop. Casual. Please come and create your own adventure.

Honestly, I was sold on trying this chain as soon as I saw photos of the Ube buttercream latte. I walked in, quickly ordered it, and received it within a few minutes. It was as delicious and delectable as expected. Completely worth the visit! From the multiple times I've gone, the baristas are so sweet and welcoming! I've never really had to wait long to order or to wait for my drink. They may be busy, but they are quite fast and efficient! Some times I'll just take my order and go, but other times seating is available and I'll work from the cafe for a bit. They don't have a lot of seating, but it's great for smaller parties, and groups of 2-4 people. I recently had their matcha scone and iced matcha strawberry latte. The matcha scone was fantastic! Just a perfectly crumbly scone with delicious matcha icing. The matcha strawberry latte was okay. I could definitely tell the matcha was pre-made, but it was still good overall. Would rather go somewhere else for matcha and stick to coffee here. The Ube buttercream latte is absolutely worth it!

Yeems is a big name in DTLA, so I was both intrigued and relieved when they opened a location closer to me in the South Bay. In the late morning, this place was bustling! They're known for their Vienna lattes, but I wanted something lighter, so I opted for the iced rose matcha. I was also curious if their lesser known drinks would live up to the expectation. Omg, the rose was intense! I tasted way more rose than matcha, and it was bordering on tasting "soapy". Since this combo isn't something I regularly order, I didn't particularly mind the strong floral-ness. It's worth noting that they posted a reminder to ask for your drink to be remade if not to your liking. If I were to get it again, I'd probably ask to go light on the rose. The interior is small, with almost half being the ordering/pickup counter. There is some seating, but I wouldn't recommend staying for an extended period of time. When busy, it can also be confusing who is waiting for their drink and who is waiting to order. However, the drinks come out pretty fast so the wait isn't too long.

Yeems is always a solid choice, and checking out this location was a nice experience. Compared to the Koreatown spot I usually go to, this one is a little bigger and more spacious, though seating is still somewhat limited. The service was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit pleasant. I ordered an americano, which is a pretty standard drink, so nothing particularly stood out flavor wise, but it was still well made. The fact that there was a line out the door says a lot about how popular this spot is, and it is great to see them doing such good business. Overall, Yeems continues to be a reliable cafe with a good vibe. I usually get something sweet and that's what made the other Yeems so notable so nothing to dock here.

Very cool drinks and aesthetics, the cream was super yummy and not that sweet so you know that Asian had to praise it. Honestly drinks were really well made so I understand why it's a lil pricey. Also super popular cuz line went out the door it was crazy. Torotea flashbacks.

Ordered the Vienna Latte (4.5/5, a little sweet) and Vienna Matcha (5/5), along with the ham and cheese croissant (5/5). Customer service was very nice! Cashier entered my drink wrong, but the baristas were happy to remake it. Went on a Saturday morning and the line was long the entire time! There are about 5 tables inside. Knocking off a star because they ran out of a lot pastries early on in the day.

This spot has a long line all the time but it goes by quick! Their service is very fast and consistent, which is nice. Now onto the coffee & matcha! If you are looking for your traditional Japanese style matcha, this is not the spot for you. If you're looking for a strong, sweet and tasty matcha or coffee, then you've come to the right spot. My go to here is the Vienna matcha; imagine a strong matcha base topped with a sweet cream top. If you'd like it extra sweet, you can add syrup. I usually opt out because I'm more of a typical Asian "sweet but not too sweet" fan. I have also tried their buttercream ube latte with Vienna added on top. This was delicious! Imagine a strong coffee base (as strong as Vietnamese coffee) sweetened with a hint of ube and cream top. You can still taste the boldness of the coffee and the sweetness of the ube. It's delicious! But very dehydrating lol

There seems to always be a line here, but it moves quickly. Baristas are efficient and coffee is delicious (I recommend the Vienna). Not the best spot for studying as seating is limited and the interior is on the small side, but still worth stopping by while in the area. Parking can easily be found in the plaza and/or surrounding streets.

Yeems is overhyped. The strawberry matcha was tasty, however I've had better. I came here bc a friend told me they had a strong matcha flavor. I was expecting something more bold. For not delivering the bold flavors I think it's overpriced as well. You can't find the price for alternative milks anywhere on the menu. I believe I had an up charge of $1 for oat milk. They only have one size, and they left a good amount of room in my cup. For $8, I'd like more of a drink. I came back a second time to try the Dulce de leche latte and same thing, just hella room in my cup, as if someone had a swallow of it before it was handed to me. I thought it might only be for matchas since that's what's they're known for, but it seems like all drinks. I wish they had a rewards system as well. If I'm going to pay so much at least make it worth it to be a loyal customer.

Yeems is a new coffee shop in Gardena and I love it! This location is in a plaza with a lot of other restaurants and the parking isn't terrible. It can get pretty crowded with a long line that goes out the door on to the side walk. There are a few tables inside but it's not the biggest for a coffee shop. I will say the service is really fast! They usually have a good amount of people behind the counter so the drinks don't take too long after being ordered. You can also order online (through their website) most days! I think it is closed on the weekend mornings. I have tried the Vienna matcha, Vienna latte, and cold brew latte and all are great! The Vienna matcha comes sweetened and mixed with the einspänner is super creamy and has a good matcha flavor. The Vienna latte is a regular latte with their einspänner cream, definitely not on the sweet side but very creamy and sweet enough for my liking. The cold brew latte is also really good and is a little sweet. I would recommend all those drinks to try!

I came at around ~12 on Easter Sunday and the line was out the door! Luckily, the line moved quickly and my drink came out super fast. The interior was sparsely decorated and there were around 4-5 tables. However, there were a ton of plugs around, so I would definitely study here! I got a Vienna Matcha Latte for ~7.50$. Definitely pricey, but I could tell they used quality milk and matcha. It was a little too sweet for my taste, so next time I would get it less sweet. It was pretty good, but something I'd only visit if I was in the area. I prefer this location over the Ktown location because it's a free parking lot which is...almost impossible to find in LA.

3-1/2 stars for friendly service. Having tried the OG Yeems in K-Town, I was interested in trying the newer location in Gardena. I popped in after lunch, and luckily, there wasn't a huge line; by the time I ordered and paid, the line started forming and wrapping around the corner. I ordered the vienna matcha, which was beautifully presented. Unfortunately, the taste was a bit lackluster; even though I mixed it, I wish the matcha could've been stronger, as the oat milk and cream top overpowered everything. Perhaps it was my milk of choice, but any case, the matcha could've shone through more. Overall, staff and baristas were super nice and friendly, despite rush hour. Sadly, the vienna matcha fell flat, and I think I'd prefer K-Town's location more.

I was pleasantly surprised by Yeems coffee. I personally dislike coffee because my body is weird and it goes into automatic crash mode right after drinking coffee. Most of the time I tend to avoid drinking it, but out of curiosity, I decided to try Yeems due to the fact that they always seem to have lots of customers every time I pass by. I was super happy to realize that their coffee did not give me that automatic crash feeling I get when I drink specifically coffee. Hot buttercream latte: 10/10 If you guys have ever been to Universal and have tried and liked their Butter beer then you will love this buttercream latte from Yeems. It taste like a milder version of butter beer. Cold Homemade Vanilla Latte: 8/10 The homemade vanilla really shines in this latte! According to my boyfriend, it tastes pretty similar to Starbucks's iced vanilla shaken espresso but the vanilla Yeems used is superior. Tips: Parking lot is fairly small. What we loved about Yeems was they offered non-dairy options as my boyfriend is lactose intolerant. Ambience of the café was clean, neat and simple. Not much room inside they had about three tables to sit at and two areas that were more of low coffee tables with seating. Overall: Would I come again? If I I am in the area, it's a definite yes for me!

I was working in Gardena and needed coffee, STAT! Yelp search brought me here and I was familiar with the plaza and was glad to see they had a coffee spot. Parked in front of the store and the parking was already a bit full out front. I came here around 11:30 and it was busy! There was a crowd of people waiting for their order and receipts all over the counter so I anticipated waiting for my order for a while I counted 6 people working behind the counter and with no drive-thru and in the smallest space. Luckily my drink was ready within 7 minutes despite the crowd and long line growing outside the store. I got the dulce de leche iced coffee and it was very good. I could taste the flavors of the coffee without any bitterness and the cream or cold foam was a nice balance. DEFINITELY coming back in the future as it's my go-to coffee spot in Gardena now.

For a newer coffee shop it is doing great! Absolutely love the ube latte! It is definitely the star of the show and a must try. I love that it is right around the corner from me. The line is usually wrapped around the corner. I hate how they close so early at 2:30pm. Ambiance is nice but I think since it's new they're still working out the kinks. The first time I was there the plants inside were dead and the worker didn't give the person in front of me their croissant when they payed and ended up having to give them a refund bc they sold theirs (which was the last one) to another customer. Matcha is ok. Will definitely be back.

I had a fantastic experience! The service was great--everyone was friendly and very efficient. The customer service was truly exceptional, especially the cashier who was incredibly helpful. I appreciated her asking what type of milk I preferred for my drinks, as most places don't offer that unless you specifically request it. The drinks were absolutely delicious! The sweet foam on top was delightful, and it's probably one of the best Matchas I've ever had. My sister ordered the Vienna latte, which was also really good, though it was a bit strong for my taste. Plus, the drinks were beautifully presented, and we received them quickly! The menu does seem small and it looked like there was only one size for the drinks. But I don't mind it. The location was very clean and had a more relaxed modern vibe to it. Parking is convenient since it's located in a small plaza. The inside can get a bit busy at times, with only about four tables available, but I can see why it's such a popular spot! I will definitely be back!

I saw this spot opening next to me and was curious to check them out, but unfortunately the only times I can check them out is on the weekends and there's always a line for this place! You know there's something cookin' when there's a line! Everytime I come here I always don't know what to get but I always end up getting the same drink haha ube buttercream latte, Vienna latte, or the Vienna matcha. The cream makes it their signature of the business. They do make pretty good matcha and their ube doesn't taste artificial. I will definitely come back for their beans!

I used to go to the one in LA and I was so happy when they opened this location. My go to order was an iced Vienna latte and it was delicious, creamy and just oh, so good! However, I've been trying to swap matcha for coffee and the matcha is just ok. I've tried the strawberry matcha and Vienna matcha and both were just mediocre. If you want to wait in a line that's out the door, come on the weekend. Otherwise, if you come during the week and it's fairly early, you can just walk right in. The parking lot can get full, but again, if you come early that won't be an issue. But I have come here when it was full and it's def not an ideal parking lot because I find some of the spaces to be really tight. Service was great. Very friendly... I just wasn't really impressed with the drinks I've gotten lately.

Gave Yeems another shot and tried coming on a Sunday morning around 10am this time. Line wasn't long at all and didn't extend outside the doors. Got the ube buttercream latte with oat milk, and it's amazingly delicious! I'm trying hard not to chug it like I usually do with coffee so I can really savor it.

2/18/2025 Second time coming here. Came in on a Tuesday after 1:35pm and with less than an hour left, people were still coming in, lines were forming. In addition to the lines, people standing by waiting their orders too. So it was getting crowded. Parking was not bad at that hour though. Many open spots. VIENNA LATTE Creamy and sweet cream with espresso. No bitterness of the coffee at the end. Very clean flavor. The cream top is light and not overwhipped. Some of the cream top coffees I've had in other shops leave a weird, filmy aftertaste, but this was done very well! ICED STRAWBERRY MATCHA LATTE As a matcha lover, this was delicious! Good quality matcha! The Nekohama Ceremonial Grade Matcha was a clean, sweet, floral flavor with no bitterness. The strawberry milk was light, but the matcha did not overpower the strawberry milk. It complemented each other so well! This reminded me of a good summery drink on a hot day. It was refreshing! CUSTOMER SERVICE Very chill and friendly service. The person at the front had a lovely, friendly demeanor inspite of the long line forming in front of her. She was taking all the orders by herself too! The baristas were working in an open kitchen. So you see everyone in action. All the baristas were side-by-side cranking out all the drinks one by one! Impressive! ONLINE ORDERING Online ordering is available on their website. If there's no available timeslot for pickup, then that means there's no more space for online orders for that day. Haven't used their online ordering system, but if I lived or worked in Gardena, I'd probably order online and save some time. HOURS Still in the soft opening phase and is open until 2:30pm daily. Hope they will extend hours soon! The only thing I ask is that if and when they do extend their hours, that the quality of their drinks will not fall. Eventually, I'm gonna work my way through their coffee & tea menu and try it all!

Went here on a Saturday morning before heading to the beach and there was a line wrapping outside the building. I do not recall how long we waited outside in line, but once we ordered inside, we got our drinks in less than ten minutes. I do not live near the area, but this place seems more of a grab and go than a Starbucks where you can take your laptop and do homework/work. The staff was ok. The Vienna latte was good and creamy. I did not really like the ube buttercream.

I stopped by to grab a drink the other day while I was in the area for work. The shop was clean and and just recently opened. There was a decent line but it moved fairly quickly and they were well-staffed and bringing drinks out pretty fast. There's a decent amount of seating for studying/doing work and I saw all of the tables occupied. I got the ube buttercream latte and it was very creamy and not too sweet which sort of surprised me. I was hoping for a little more ube flavor but I otherwise enjoyed my drink. I also got the kouign amann on the side and it was delicious and warmed up. One of the better ones that I've had at a coffee shop. When I'm in the area again, I'll try their matcha drinks and other pastries, those also looked appealing. Parking was also easy to find as there are plenty of spots in the parking lot.

I was there for their soft opening and the line was going out the door. But they move fast and drinks come out rather fast (maybe waited less than 10 mins for ours). I got their matcha latte ($6) 25% sweet and honestly wasn't too impressed by it. I think it's because it needed more sugar. I don't think they use sweetened powder which is a plus! And the drink was a nice shade of green, so they don't skimp on the amount they use! What was really good was their Mocha Latte ($5.75). It wasn't too sweet, chocolatey, and wasn't too hot (which is a great thing when sipping coffee). There aren't many seating options inside, just FYI. And the seats they do have are kind of close to the cash register - there's really not a lot of room. I think this is a grab and go type of place.

New Coffee Alert* Found out about Yeems Coffee through Yelp! Noticed their original location was in k-town and it had very high reviews. Knew I had to check it out asap. Located in a plaza across the street from Tozai Plaza, parking was easy and accessible. It's a few doors down from Yukdaejong. The line was out the door and around the corner. Came during their soft opening, so we thought it would take a while, but to our surprise it only took 15 minutres. We had their specialty, most popular drink which is their Vienna Coffee. It's definitely a 5/5 fun coffee. Strong espresso flavor topped with heavy cream/foam and cacao powder. I suggest drinking it without a straw so you get a bit of the drink and whipped topping in every sip. It's very unique and different than other coffee drinks I've tasted. Give it a try if you're in the area! Don't be intimidated by the line, it moves fast!

I got the rose matcha and omg it was delicious! The syrups are subtle enough and the sugar isn't too sweet. There was a line out of the door. The matcha tasted amazing too. I definitely would love to come back but it is a bit out of the way from orange county. I love the furniture too, very aesthetic it seems like it just opened

Im a big fan of the Yeems in KTown so I was excited to try this location which happens to be a lot closer. Came on a busy Sunday morning and got in line that wrapped around the side of the building. Luckily it went by quick! I ordered my usual which is the Vienna latte, I hate to say it but it just didn't taste the same as the Ktown location. I'm hoping to try again to see if maybe it was made too rushed and it will taste better next time.
