Work from LA ☕️ Ktown’s Mugwort Soy Milk & Black Sesame Delights!
Continuing my Korean-style coffee tour! 📍 Cafe De Mama 1102 S Western Ave, Los Angeles 🥑 My rating system: 👏 Love 👍 Like 👌 Okay 👎 Pass 📝 Note: Drinks here are caffeine-free by default, so we added espresso shots to ours—not only for an energy boost but also to balance the sweetness and add depth! You can also ask for less sugar or switch to almond/oat milk. 💛 Injeolmi Mochi Latte 👏 Their signature—soy milk foam latte with chewy mochi! So rich and satisfying 😍 The mochi (or rice cakes, however you call them!) are soft and stretchy, just as expected. Drink the soy milk foam first, then mix it with oat milk and coffee—each sip hits different! 🖤 Black Sesame Mochi Latte 👏 Even better than the one at Series A Coffee! Mochi dipped in black sesame cream—so aromatic and creamy. Wonder if there’s a black sesame coffee in LA that tops this? 💚 Green Forest Cream 👍 This “green forest” drink combines matcha latte with mugwort (ssuk) foam. Came here excited for this one, but it wasn’t as wow as the others. The mugwort flavor is strong, but paired with matcha, it tasted a bit too earthy and bitter 😂 Maybe stick to the standard sugar level for better balance! 💬 Extra tips: They also have seasonal drinks like persimmon milk for winter and watermelon smoothies for summer—but since you can’t add espresso, we skipped them this time. They also serve croffles (croissant-waffle hybrids)—great as a sweet snack! If you’re in a hurry, order ahead via their app—it can get busy! 🌍 4 years of working remotely… Next stop? Still LA.
