What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"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"
"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!"
"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!"
"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!"
"Fresh Roast is a must-visit for coffee lovers. Their coffee is delicious, and I tried the durian coffee--it was strong, flavorful, and not overly sweet,..."
