Spot Coffee

Probably not your topical Korean café to work on your stuff with a laptop. They bust their music. Open pretty late so that’s a con. The prices are a little expensive though.

Currently here. Bad service. Ripped couches. Over priced everything. Asked to buy a banana to enjoy with the rest of our dessert… waitress looked confused & asked the owner. Owner said no. She said no. No banana to enjoy with the rest of our dessert. Will never come here ever again.

This used to be, «the spot «I’d go to meet up with a friend for coffee or tea. The ambiance has deteriorated and I think they have shortened their menu. There isn’t that many choices of coffee and teas to choose from.
First, let’s talk about the ambiance: it’s lost its charm, décor is whatever and the leather lounge seating is all torn. Looks so dirty and rundown.
Second, the server wasn’t even on point. How hard is it to offer more hot water. Her job isn’t difficult as it wasn’t so busy. Instead of playing on her phone every minute, she should’ve focused on the customers if they need anything.
Thirdly, the menu has been downgraded as well. It used to have so much more. They don’t have lattes or anything want milk to add to your tea? They don’t have it.
Lastly, the only good thing about this spot is its hours. They open to 4 am
Will I come back? Nope

Oh God. I took two of my friends who weren’t from LA. After we ate at Ham Ji Park, we decided to go get some boba or tea. Few of my friends go to spot, but I had no idea how bad got over the years.
I walked in. The girl who was working there didn’t even bother greeting us. I was unsure if I choose a seat or she’s going to seat us. It wasn’t even busy, and I had to raise my hand to get her attention. There was a little spider on my tea plate…
There were gnats flying around everywhere. I was actually embarrassed to bring my friends here. The drinks are overpriced for the portion, and it wasn’t even good.

I love the chill ambience here. There are times when I need a place to sit for a while to write. Spot Coffee is a relaxing place for me to do so. I have to say though I hope this place will be a smoke-​free environment soon. Other than that I will definitely be coming here often to continue to write my stories.

From the outside, this place looked really promising. But the price is pretty ridiculous!
6.95 $ for boba? & 7.25 for ice cream? It should really be $$$ in my opinion.
Nice lounge place but, pricey drinks & desserts. I don’t I’ll be returning anytime soon.
*warning* if you do not want to get second hand smoking don’t come here!
It’s practically an indoor smoking arena.

Dope spot for pulling an all nighter for school. Good music too keep you awake, and the coffee too obviously. Good wifi, seating, and good customer service. Get the Chicken avocado wrap. Easy parking.

Yes, everyone’s right. They do allow smokers here. If you don’t smoke cigarettes, reconsider going to this place bec everyone who comes here probably smokes and if you don’t like that, then find another spot. (Get it ;)) lol. It’s a cool, cozy spot where you can just lounge in– sit on the couch, have your girl talks, have your cig and coffee, organize your life at 12 in the morning, lol they’re open until 4am. The menu isn’t that big, mostly coffee and desserts. They’re overpriced in my opinion but you’re probably paying for the fact that they allow smoking here. Besides all that, it’s my go to spot when I can’t think of what to do and don’t wanna be home. The music though… Korean music. I wish they played hip hop, it’d be cooler or anything I can understand at least lol.

It’s around the corner from my place, so it’s my go to coffee spot. Seating needs to be replaced — a lot are torn/​worn. Menu is very limited. Expensive. Love the open layout though; nice spot to just chill with friends.

you know i love lounges open late! 3 stars docked for the snooty service and just awkward experience.
actually. the food and drinks were terrible too. as a group of 5 we walked in and were just stared at for a while by the customers and workers. maybe they were all workers. not really sure. expect extreme judgement if you’re not a group of koreans though because every single person turned around and stared.
we sat down and ordered our drinks and deserts. to begin, yes the couches are great but they’re all ripping and just need to be renewed. there are heaters which are great, a newer edition to the café i assume?
i ordered the most bitter mocha ever. my friend enjoyed her milk tea boba, and my other friend enjoyed her hot chocolate. another friend got a white chocolate and they all tried it and said it was horrible.
2 friends got the chocolate fudge cake slice which was a whopping $ 6 for a sliver. and guess what, it tasted terrible!
the bill for 4 drinks and 2 slices of cake came out to $ 45. i’m sorry, no.
even with my admiration of open-​late cafes, it’s a solid pass for me on this place. mr coffee down the street has less judgement. also, since is somewhat open, everyone is smoking cigarettes! they basically should have offered me an entire pack because thats equivalent to what i breathed in. sorry to be a debbie downer peeps but this place just isn’t the spot, hence the 3 stars.

Been coming here for a year now, never ever got serve ice coffee in a plastic cup, wtf is that bullshit. Place is empty with minimal customers, but they said they ran out of glass cups, wtf. Might not want to wash dishes or something.
Poor ass customer services as well. Never seen this server working here before, she might be new or just being racist with non Korean customers.
P.S if the owner is reading this, recommendation, FIRE this waitress of yours and hire someone that wants to be here and have better customer services skills set.

Came here during the afternoon for coffee with a couple of friends. I like the setup of the place. As someone mentioned earlier, it’s like an open patio – a plus for smokers, who want to light up from their seats. Kind of cramped, but chairs are comfy and you can always count on there being good shade. I haven’t been here in the evening yet, but I can see its potential. Overall, a chill place for decent drinks and conversation.

Cozy little place to chill and it’s open late night.
Music selection is good but since it’s so darn loud even though it’s an «open patio» kind of deal I can barely hear anyone talking. Drinks are ehh priced and they’re not that good either.
It’s a good place if you’re there with just one other person and you just want to lie there comfortably. Groups of 3 or bigger it becomes much harder to talk as you now have to yell a bit. This place would do really well as a hookah lounge truth to be told.

Love the environment. Dessert was good (: had a waffle with ice cream. Drinks were okay. Service was great. Overall I liked it. Nice place to go and chill with friends.

The coffee shop was is old, interior sucks, every sofa is damaged and lookd 100 years old. The owner evidently does not care for their shop. The only good thing about this place is that you can smoke, which is
probably illegal.

i don’t remember spot to be this shiit hole.
but wow, i came here today with my gal… only to find out i will never ever fawking come here again. period.
there is no service whatsoever.
the fruit shaved ice… just by looking at it you wanna throw it in the floor. lol. im serious. and its fffffffawking $ 8 for ice covered in strawberry syrup.
i know customers can smoke here but the bathroom shouldnt stank with pot and cigg smell. –_​–
anyways, dont come here to expect a decent café.

I love coming to this coffee spot. It is my «go to spot coffee place» ;)
I usually get Americano or House Coffee, ice or hot. There is free refills on that. Had their smoothies. Wish they were more blended but other than that it’s tasty. I had one of their sandwiches, which I would not recommend. I had their red velvet cakes which was yummy.
They have free wifi and service is pretty good.
They are open late hours and have warm toilet seats if that is something that is importance to you. Ha.
Parking is free on certain nights. For those who don’t like smoking beware. People do smoke indoors. If that is not something you can’t deal with than I wouldn’t suggest this is a place for you.
I would give –1 star for the pricing of drinks and food. But most places you go in LA for coffee/​boba sit down places are that much. It’s worth it if you chill there for a few hours. With free refills is a plus on certain drinks.

The patsingbu is okay; the ice isn’t as light as fluffy and is kind of inconsistent. The overall dessert was okay.
The thai tea and green tea slush was not bad! Nothing special though, would not return unless nothing else is open as it is late night.

I like this café for its own unique traits.
It’s open until really late at night, it’s super close to where I live, and I love the music that they play in the background. The interior is also half inside and outside because almost everyone is smoking here so if you don’t like the smell of cigarette I don’t recommend this place.
This café is definitely more for chilling with your friends, especially after drinking and the atmosphere is more of like a lounge rather than a café.

This place is amazing. Comfy seats and opens til 4am. On a late night, you must trouble yourself to come (and bring your friends!) We came around 2isham because it was the only place that seemed to be open for coffee/​boba/​desserts. Our group ordered: Red velvet cake, Cheesecake, Cappuccino, and Boba milk tea.
Red velvet cake – (they ran out of waffles AND tiramisu, but it’s probably b/​c it was high in demand.) It was heavily coated/​topped with probably the finest store-​bought and thickest sugary wax paste to ensure delight for your taste buds. Not your typical red velvet cake! Moist with a hint of what seems to be stale coconut filling in it! Generous amount of sugar to keep your energy going!
Cheesecake — like the red velvet cake, this cheesecake was decadent with another generous portion of sugar to really get your night going! A lemon/​lime flavor was a nice surprise. A spread of 99.9% dark choco raspberry sauce accompanies both cakes which was a nice touch. AND it only took 20 minutes for them to cut out a piece from a cake made earlier that week. WORTH the wait.
Cappuccino — free refills! definitely going to take advantage of that :) A good 85% dose of foam on top makes this drink heavenly!
Boba milk tea — great ratio of ice, diluted milk tea, and rock hard, uncooked boba! Their thoughtfulness on attention to detail must be the reason why customers keep coming back!
Overall, our server had neat handwriting when writing our orders/​giving us our check and it was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere of smoke and dim lighting really gives this «spot» an intimate appeal as well. Although the items seemed «overpriced», it was definitely worth it for having exceptional taste that would truly satisfy anyone.
