Stopped by here for coffee. THIS PLACE IS A GEM. Coffee and dessert EXCEEDED expectations. We had a mocha latte and a vanilla cafe latte with a hazelnut truffle. OMG SO GOOD a must try in the Koreatown area! Very Friendly host and recommendations were great. Very Victoria Bridgerton like atmosphere. Definitely recommend! 100%!

Really cute coffee/tea house with quality tea and sweet sides. Has European cozy tea house vibe. Amazing butter

Organic roasted multi-grain powder shaved ice with red bean paste ... LOVE it!! Condensed milk is inside and my Korean friend recommended to adjust the amount to be less if you would like to enjoy the taste of the multi-grain powder. I love it as it was not too sweet and I could taste the natural sweetness of the powder. Red bean paste is such a good balance to add more sweetness but not overpowering the whole dish. Strawberry shortcake ...MELTED MY HEART!! I was looking for something like this in LA!! The cream is perfect sweetness, and sponge is super soft and not dry! I could keep eating. I would love it to have a whole cake for birthdays or events! They bake it everyday, so it's fresh too! They have many kinds of coffees, teas including decafs and low caffeines that go well with sweets! I tried Dates tea. It has natural sweets from dates, and it is very nutritious. Cups and plates - I think it is rare for us to be able to eat and drink out of such beautiful ceramics in LA! It makes you feel very relaxed and slows you down. Also the atmosphere is like you stepped into your grandma/grandpa's house, so you feel more close to people who you come to this cafe with. The house is so cute. Once you step inside, you will see a space you would not imagine from outside. It is very warm and welcoming. Just being there made me feel happy. Want to try macarons next time!

Great place to hang out. Nice decoration with old victorian European ambiance. It's a converted old house. They still live on second floor of the house. Ring camera all over the place. Keep greeting passer by. Service was fast and super friendly. The Korean couple are friendly and entertain you with the history and merchandise. About Spanish painter on the wall and her merchandise they sell. Most of their food is good and tasty. Their award winning bread is nice and fluffy. The strawberry cake is ok. Maybe cause we got the frozen one. The Italian Gelato is super delicious and yummy. Same with shaved ice. Interesting and tasty. The wild organic ciabatta bread is super good. Free sample from the owner. Only the strawberry cake is just ok. Maybe cause it was felt frozen/cold. Will come back for sure.

This is the CUTEST COZIEST MF CAFES I'VE BEEN TOO AND I AM OBSESSED!!!! I literally want to move to LA just so I can come here It's literally a friggin house, and the owners (who I think is this adorable older Korean couple) transformed the downstairs entire into a cafe. You can see how each section was originally its own room, and the tables and seats are all just classical wooden house furniture. Being at this cafe made me so nostalgic for when I used to tag along when my mom went to go visit a friend to drink coffee/tea and cake. We ordered a cake and truffle, the man who took our order was soooo sweet and the desserts came out quickly. They were so good, the berry cake was just sweet enough and would most definitely have any Asian moms' approval of "not too sweet" while the cappuccino truffle boasted deep flavors of coffee and chocolate.

Really great cake and service overall! I ordered the entire strawberry shortcake for a special occasion and I was not disappointed. The cake was absolutely delicious and everyone loved it. I'll definitely return to try their other pastries and desserts.

We brought coffee and dessert. The cake was great but the coffee was pretty mid. The owner served us and he highly recommended the shaved ice but we were too full. He is really kind and an eccentric person. This is a Korean cafe and it's mainly Korean people so I'm not sure if the speak English. I think the cafe was an actual home. Everything looked like a piece of art. Basically you are paying for the experience and vibe. The food was pretty expensive like everything was about 8 dollars. So if you wanna be bougie for some date then this is the place to go

Overall: 4.7/5 (macarons only) Macaron 6 Piece Gift Set ($15): We go this as a gift from our cousin. The macarons came in a cute box and were packaged nicely. She got us the following 6 flavors: rose, red velvet, pistachio, salted caramel, chocolate, earl grey. We were so impressed that you can taste each flavor without them being too subtle or overpowering, specifically for the rose, pistachio, chocolate, & earl grey. The red velvet & salted caramel had more of a subtle flavor than the other 4 so I wouldn't get them again. My favorite in order was Rose, Earl Grey, Pistachio, & Chocolate. The macaron shell was also the perfect texture, making it really smooth to bite into. I wouldn't have stumbled into this tea shop on my own so I'm so glad that my cousin got this gift set for us to try :)
