The older ladies behind the bar were sweet in a ajima sort of way. Being next to BCD is the biggest draw here when you finish your meal and want coffee, and this is the only dang coffee sign that you see. Inside is kinda like a restaurant with booth set ups. I was surprised that it was pretty popular and poppin with the 40 and 50 somethings. This might be the only place where you don’t see laptops and textbooks scattered all over. Let me tell you why I think so. -=-6 dollar latte-=- Yep, standard hot latte. If you like it flavored, it would be more. I thought the price was a little high for substandard expresso. My theory is that it keeps the kids away, and that it did. I was a bit taken back by the prices too. But well, yeah… I grabbed my order to go and headed on out of here. Sure if you wanna lounge, this place is cozy. I don’t imagine you’d have trouble finding a seat.

Delicious coffee and smoothie drinks here and more — waffles and iced desserts. This pleasant little shop in a busy Koreatown shopping center is a great place to indulge yourself with a smooth and tasty boba drink. We tried the matcha green tea boba and the mocha boba drinks today. Both were presented beautifully and tasted delicious. Mocha was well balanced between bitter coffee and smooth chocolate flavors. Matcha was delicate, sweet, and smooth. Each had plenty of chewy boba beads for fun. Décor is modern and elegant, with comfy private booths and throw pillows for extra comfort and style. This is such a pleasant place to spend a few moments with friends and a refreshing drink. We highly recommend this nice place.

Didn’t know anything about this place, but popped in since it was in the same plaza I had lunch at. Prices seem on the higher side– I think an Americano is about $ 5. I decided to get their Peach Mango Fresh Juice that was about $ 5 – 6. The size of it is pretty generous(see photo for reference) so it was definitely worth the price and it was really refreshing!

Not a fan of being discriminated against. Came here with my non-Korean husband(I’m also not Korean) and his Korean married friends. We ordered first and they ordered second. The received their items first. We wait and wait and wait. They are half way done with their drink and shaved ice. We wait some more. 5 groups of Koreans(all different ages), ordered after us and also received their items. Finally, after 30 minutes we received our items, which were a caramel frappacino and chocolate ice cream. Apparently it takes 30 minutes to scoop 3 scoops of chocolate ice cream in a bowl and blend some caramel frap in a blender. We had to rush to drink and eat to catch up to our friends cuz we didn’t want them to have to wait for us. Never coming here again.

This place was pretty empty when my friend and I came in after lunch. I didnt really expected much for the drinks so I didnt get them. Just got a shaved ice with fruits and red beans. The shaved ice was nothing special and it tasted alright. I liked the atmosphere of this café and the interior is cute. The booths are comfortable. The service was okay. This is a good place to relax after a meal.

Was okay. Drinks were a bit pricey and the person messed up our order. Would not seek out but was convenient when we were thirsty. My tea was way too sweet!

Mehhhhhhhhh~ That is how I would sum up my experience here in one word… err. expression, rather. Key Points: Parking: Private Lot but limited parking since they share it with a bunch of other stores/restaurants. Location: Western/James M Wood St. Drinks/Food: Mediocre. They have a lot of drink options but nothing is cheaper than $ 4.95. Even for their regular house coffee it’s $ 4.95! I’ve tried their hazelnut coffee before and got their«Fresh» Peach/Mango smoothie, however, I thought it was way too sweet and added with Syrup instead of more of the natural fruits.(it was $ 6.95) and comes in a large tall fancy looking glass. Didn’t do much for me though NOTEVENPICTUREWORTHY! I should’ve taken a pic of how the syrup separated from the juice though. Disappointing. Not much options for food or snacks. They only offer ice cream and toast… I wish they’d offer more options, though. Service: Quick service. Nice staff. They offered 4 saltine crackers for free. Nice gesture I suppose. Environment: I actually really liked the inside of this place. Plenty of booth style seating and TVs inside. I liked that it was quiet so you can have conversations, informal meetings, or maybe a good place to come study. So overall… if you’re ballin’ outta control and need somewhere to get a mediocre tasting drink to perhaps impress a date/potential client… this is definitely the place for you.

Came here with a coworker after BCD and it’s so much better than before. The owner had renovated the place and it had a modern but relaxing vibe. Coworker ordered the green tea smoothie and I ordered the hot peach tea. The hot peach tea was perfect. Sweet and with a strong hint of peach. It’s obvious that the peach flavor came from a syrup but it was still really good. I’d come here again…

Our party of 11 shut this place down after eating at Eight. We felt like dessert and coffee and this place satisfied our needs. Everything was good, not great but good. For the drinks/sweets/prices I’d give three stars but the fourth star is for the service. Very friendly and welcoming, the kind of service that’s just hard to find these days.

It’s a cute café with a really nice atmosphere. I came with an old friend to catch up, and this was a great place to do so. While the presentation was pretty, and the drinks were decent, I’m only giving 3 stars because it was way over-priced. While I did enjoy the setting and presentations of what we ordered, I definitely did not enjoy getting the bill. It just wasn’t worth paying that much for. Everything here was decent, but I’d rather not pay so much for decent.

Cute little café in K-town, I love this place! After a dinner at Palsaik(pork bbq place), we ventured into Coffee time. I got espresso and hubby got a strawberry banana smoothie with boba. Both were really good! My espresso was $ 4.50 — I thought it was expensive, but I ordered it anyway because I really felt like espresso after stuffing my face with greasy pork belly! It turns out they give you 2 shots and they serve it with cookies, so it was not a bad deal at all. Nice ambience. The booths are so comfy! It’s a great place to chill out after dinner(they are open till 11pm).

This place is just ok. Both times i went they got my order wrong. I had the ice cream and instead of being creamy it was more icey. Was not too appealing to my tastebuds. Dont get me wrong it was good, but i would not go out of my way to come here.

Coffee Time has an outdoor seating area featuring an umbrella with the following printed on it: . If you’re dyslexic or simply strange and immature like me and my huz, you would see another word. Anyhow, the coffee here is decent(the portions are by default, Starbucks«grande» sized). But considering the fact that this isn’t the sort of place I’d like to loiter at for long, I find it pricey. Not a bad place to get your caffeine fix post BCD/Palsaik/MaDang, but if you’ve got the time, there are better alternatives in the ‘hood.

Neat lil place to talk with friends, though I kept getting distracted by the kpop songs playing. I had a hot taro tea and it was good. Parking was a bit full for a Tuesday.

While waiting for Palsaik(a few stores down) we went into Coffee Time to sit down and get some tea. The service was good and the tea was good. However the prices were a bit high. They charged about $ 5 per tea(and tea should usually be no more than $ 3). However the service was good and it was nice to have a place to sit down while waiting. I would definitely say this place is A-OK for tea/coffee and service. Just expect to come in and pay about $ 5-$ 6 per drink.

Coffee here is not great at all. I did not and could not finish the coffee. But you need to try the rice wrapped in leaves. Wow! Take a block of these home and throw them in The freezer. Enjoy when you want with 3 minutes in the microwave. I come here regularly for a healthy snack The rice with its various grains nuts beans!
