MEMORYLOOK - Los Angeles, California

This is a great Koreatown spot to get coffee and study. The cream tops here are 🔥. I didn’t try any of the food but it looked pretty good, especially the crepe cakes. My only complaints are the cost and the bathroom. My drink costed over $9, but I did sip on it for a while. And the bathrooms were gross, they need to be cleaned! But overall, really cute place and I’ll definitely go again if I’m in the mood for a cream top drink.

I got the Hojicha Latte ($7) and Spicy Bulgogi wrap ($15). The latte was a bit sweet (I’d ask for less sugar next time) and the wrap was way too SAUCY / SALTY. I’d get the spam and kimchi fried rice one instead - that one’s more balanced and the seaweed sprinkles on top were really good. They took 15-20 min to make. But I can’t even finish my bulgogi wrap bc it’s too salty 🙁

really nice outdoor space to work though and there’s wifi.

Memory Look DTLA – A Hidden Gem for Coffee and Matcha Enthusiasts

If you're in Downtown LA and looking for a simple café with unique drinks, Memory Look is definitely worth a visit. With its minimalist aesthetic and carefully curated menu, this spot blends style and substance effortlessly.

Drinks Tried: Matcha Einspanner & Chrome Latte

Matcha Einspanner (8/10)
This drink is a delightful fusion of sweet ceremonial matcha and rich cream top. The matcha flavor is well-balanced—not too bitter, not too sweet—making it a great pick for matcha lovers who enjoy a creamy texture.

Chrome Latte (9/10)
The standout of the two! The Chrome Latte is visually striking, thanks to the activated charcoal, and the taste is just as impressive. The combination of espresso, milk, and charcoal gives it a smooth yet slightly earthy profile, making it a must-try for those who love bold flavors.

Overall Experience

The ambiance is chill and simple, perfect for hanging out or getting some work done. The menu offers a variety of creative drinks, from signature lattes to non-coffee options, alongside a solid selection of food. Service was friendly, and the drinks were well-crafted, making this café a great spot for coffee lovers who appreciate quality and aesthetics.

Would definitely return to explore more of their drinks and food!

I actually loved it here. I don’t usually like donuts, but these fluffy, light, sweet, airy, whipped cream donuts were great! They reminded me of Portuguese donuts or like a Chantilly Bomboline. Big fan. I assumed the latté came hot but it was iced which I also don’t normally like but it still had such a good thick foam on top. Big fan. Would come back.

Pretty good coffee spot. I got the einspanner latte and got the strawberry and creme brûlée donut. Both are good.

They have a patio outside too.

The seating area is a bit broad and at 5pm on a Saturday is not busy. Don’t worry about seating. The matcha is good quality, a little bit pricey, but ask for light or no ice. Otherwise no apparent comments, it was nice, ask for the WiFi password and it’s good to come on a non sunny day.

Memory Look in Koreatown has quickly become one of my go-to spots! First off, their matcha is absolutely delicious, and the hojicha coffee is a standout—smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. If you’re a fan of unique drinks, this place will not disappoint.

What really sets Memory Look apart, though, is the space. There’s plenty of seating, making it a perfect spot for getting some work done or just relaxing. The wifi is solid, and there are accessible power outlets everywhere—ideal for anyone planning to stay awhile.

Parking in LA can be a nightmare, but not here. They’ve got ample parking, which makes the experience that much more stress-free.

Whether you’re grabbing a drink to-go or looking for a comfortable spot to hang out, Memory Look hits all the right notes. I can’t recommend it enough!

The coffee was delightful, and the matcha doughnut is definitely a must-try. The patio seating area is also quite lovely!
