Jimmy, the owner, is an expert coffee man! He was so helpful to us and made great suggestions and drinks. His shop is a great place to kickback and enjoy your b’fast.

My first time to try siphon coffee. Probably the freshest, most aromatic cup of coffee I've ever had! Amazing! I paired it with their avocado toast. Fresh avocado, hint of lime and delicious! They have sooo many coffee options, from so many regions. They roast in house! Satisfy your sophisticated coffee crave. Just go!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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
