9 Best Places to Get Coffee in Koreatown, Los Angeles

Here are the perfect places to go for some brew in our neighborhood.

by Taylor Sweet

Cute coffee shops are not uncommon in Los Angeles, which is a good thing for students like me who need caffeine and a place to study. In the center of USC, UCLA, and Downtown L.A., Koreatown is home to some of the cutest and trendiest coffee shops in town. It is a great place to settle down with a good cup of coffee for a few hours to get some work done (or just to hangout!). A lot of these cafés make really good quality coffee, as well as provide really good ambiance and environment (which is key!). Usually, you can also get food and desserts to along with your cup of brew -- perfect for long periods of studying or working. Here are our recommendations for the best coffee shops in Koreatown. Enjoy!

Alchemist Coffee Project

698 S Vermont Ave Ste 103 Los Angeles, CA 90005 Koreatown, Wilshire Center One of Team SnackFever's favorite cafes! The quality of the coffee and ambiance is top notch here, from the Intelligentsia beans they use to the hip, modern decor. o

Cafe Korobokgur

3464 W 8th St Los Angeles, CA 90005 Koreatown Perhaps the most aesthetically-pleasing cafe to visit in Koreatown, and that's saying a lot, considering the other options! Pull up a chair to talk with a friend or get some studying done! We can't help but love the quirky artwork and design. korobokgur

Caffé Concerto

610 S Serrano Ave Los Angeles, CA 90005 Koreatown, Wilshire Center It's not just coffee they have at Concerto! Grab a full meal and a dessert of macaroons, on top of the delicious Intelligentsia coffee. And if you're looking for a comfortable, pretty place to spend an evening with a date or a group of friends, this place is for you! concerto

Klat

621 S Western Ave Ste 101 Los Angeles, CA 90005 Koreatown, Wilshire Center Can't go wrong with the quality of the coffee here. Come grab a bottled cold brew and a bite to eat if you're in the plaza to watch a movie at the CGV Cinemas! There's plenty of seating outside to enjoy a pleasant evening! klat

Cafe Mak

612 Shatto Pl Los Angeles, CA 90005 Koreatown, Wilshire Center Did someone say Hogwarts library? Because if you woke up suddenly in the middle of Cafe Mak, you would think you had apparated there. Along with a recently-revamped menu, Mak offers arguably the best study-friendly atmosphere out of our Koreatown cafes. Each room has their own theme, from an art studio, greenhouse, and the aforementioned library, where it's always quiet. Be sure to try their sweet potato (goguma) cake! o

Yellow House Cafe

234 S Oxford Ave Los Angeles, CA 90004 Koreatown Another cute cafe for a girls evening out, or perhaps a date! Evenings might be the best time to swing by, as you can relax on the outdoor patio under an array of beautiful lights with some Korean comfort food and coffee! yellow-house

Document Coffee Bar

3850 Wilshire Blvd Ste 107 Los Angeles, CA 90010 Koreatown, Wilshire Center If the quality of your coffee or tea is of utmost importance, then Document is the place to visit. The baristas pay attention to every single detail, and you'll get your money's worth for the drinks -- the flavors are strong and robust. And they make beautiful latte art, too! document

Tom N Toms

3974 W Wilshire Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90010 Koreatown, Wilshire Center Tom N Toms is your basic standard for Koreatown coffee. But this location is open 24 hours, just in case you need a late-night pick-me-up! tom-n-toms

Miss Coffee

300 S Hobart Blvd Ste 101 Los Angeles, CA 90020 Koreatown, Wilshire Center Miss Coffee is convenient for everything. Wi-Fi, great atmosphere, tasty coffee and tea drinks, and generously-portioned shaved ice (patbingsu) as a light, cool dessert. Always worth swinging by if it's close! miss-coffee
