This unassuming coffee shop is a hidden gem. You can pass by and easily miss it, but it is worth the stop and visit. Very delicious coffee drinks (NOT Starbucks burned coffee). All types and specialty coffees. I’ve had the “Egg Coffee.” Surprisingly delicious and you get breaks in a cup!!
Enjoying the Vietnamese coffee today.
And the atmosphere is very cozy. Fun decorations, unique hangings… etc.
plus other good eats & pastries

The cutest most nostalgic Hong Kong coffee shop in the area. Super underrated hidden gem, it’s open later than most coffee shops and they have a wide variety of desserts and things to order. The decor is absolutely cozy and reminiscent of an era seemingly frozen in time. Love this place

What an absolute gem in LA if you want an authentic Hong Kong cafe experience.
It felt very homey inside and eccentric with a lot of different places to sit. It was busy when I went and must be a local favorite spot, as a large gaggle of Chinese women laughed and enjoyed themselves inside which added to energy of the spot.
I sat outside and we got a Croissant sandwich with Turkey and Egg. A lavender latte and a Mocha Cappuccino.
The croissant sandwich was tasty, fresh, and crispy. Highly recommend! The lavender latte was a little too sweet for me but was decent.
Customer service was great and friendly!
Would come back again, there’s parking in the back with a small back patio along with an adorable local cat that sleeps there. Overall I’m happy to have found this spot and will definitely come back!

Visited this quirky coffee spot today. We ordered the Vietnamese coffee and coffee temptation. We also ordered a freshly made spam musubi. Drinks were really good and the spam tasted healthy and had good flavor.
Recommend if in the area!

if I could give atmosphere 6 stars I would. this is a gorgeous coffeeshop with a vintage aesthetic (fans of the global village coffeehouse look that was popular in early aughts will love this place) and delicious treats. i got myself the hk milk tea and egg waffles with chocolate filling. very kind man who runs this shop who will go out of his way to show customers nice treats to try. plenty of seating, inside and out. will be back to try their Portuguese egg tarts soon!

An old school cafe serving Asian inspired fare. Mochi egg waffles are a highlight. Great coffee drinks. Beans are roasted on site and are available for sale. A hidden gem!

Rating 5 stars because I spent about 2 hours here while waiting for my car to be serviced down the street. The owner was so kind he says good morning to each customer walking in, gave me time to look at the menu and made sure he was ready the moment I was ready to order. Made very small town vibe conversation with all the customers! I was definitely sweating or looking like I was about to walking in, but he recommended i sit at a specific table because its cooler so I would cool down – so thoughtful!
The place itself is quirky in that the atmosphere is so cafe and Chinese corner store at the same time. Ample seating inside and out and he was so nice to turn on the fan by my table.
The food came quickly and it’s good! Very homey as some other reviews have said. They have so many fun options of drinks and food to get, but I was tired so I got a coffee milkshake and a turkey bagel sandwich.
Support local businesses! This one is a gem

Came at 9pm on a Saturday night. Had two other parties there, so not too busy. Got the egg coffee for $5. I’ve had egg coffee before in Vietnam and it was very frothy. This version is less frothy and you can’t really taste the egg. I think the top may have been food coloring (I could be wrong!) but the coffee was still good. Was very strong caffeine wise. The egg waffle and ice cream was delicious. We got the green tea and chocolate. I definitely recommend with the ice cream. Goes good with the coffee which isn’t too sweet. The setting itself is definitely a little worn in and disorganized. Menu items are also random. We wanted to pay but the man told us we pay when we leave. Overall, waffles are good coffee is strong. Good snack, not the cleanest, cozy.

They have 4 or 5 parking spaces in the alley, not the worst but better than no parking. Ambiance is really quiet, you can definitely work from here.
Service is really nice, they speak English and mandarin and possibly Cantonese? Lots of space to work but not sure where the outlets are. I just read here and it was very peaceful. They have a couple tables by the parking spaces but since there’s trash cans there, a lot of flies. But there’s a cute cat that just sleeps there.
Food wise I got a spam musubi, a strawberry lemonade, tea egg and popcorn chicken. Wasn’t really feeling egg waffles but that seems to be what they’re known for. Food was meh for the items I got, spam musubi had a good spam to rice ratio but lacked a little on flavor. Gave it a 5 though because I saw three other folks order egg waffles so I assume that’s the thing to get.

Such a relaxing, lived-in, homey Hong Kong coffee shop. The owner asked me about my coffee tastes, recommended a fruity Ethiopian medium roast pour over, talked about the tradeoffs of siphoned coffee, French press, etc, and recommended his freshly baked croissants as particularly good today. Soothing classical guitar music, endearing hand-written signs, and idiosyncrasies of the owners as decor are all such a stark and lovely contrast to the sterile and corporate coffee shops everywhere in LA. If you want something different than that, try Fresh Roast on San Gabriel.
