Kar sweet — Restaurant in Los Angeles

This place is THE BEST—an absolute gem of the neighborhood!

First of all, when's the last time you saw anything of quality cost $3 in LA??

Secondly, this place is like a smoothie shop for espresso — you can literally make any kind of latte you want and it's done with high quality ingredients and so much love 🥹

Which brings me to my last brownie point, which is the owner! She and her wife poured their heart and soul into this place and you can feel it in every corner of the coffee experience.

There's also a super fancy matcha machine with matcha imported from Japan, which my boyfriend lives for at this point.

i was born & raised here in east hollywood and i absolutely LOVE Kar Sweet. as you know our neighborhood is getting gentrified but Kar Sweet is not that kind of vibe at all!! you can tell the owner Karo is so humbled and really cares about his customers. he feels like a friend every time i visit his coffee shop! not only do i feel welcome but the coffee here is amazing!!! literally my favorite coffee in LA. i like that they make their coffee flavors from scratch. they don’t use any syrups, they use vanilla paste, pistachios paste, lavender paste. it’s so gooooood. they also have the best pastries and desserts!

This place used to be a business called “Shared Coffee”. It is apparently under new management or ownership in the last few months as “Kar Sweet”. Very many of the positive reviews here, however, were earned by the business of “Shared”, which had wonderful coffee and an uncluttered, minimalistic feel. I don’t normally leave reviews on places, but “Kar Sweet” is exploiting some sort of loophole in Google Maps’ system that allows them to maintain the business location that was previously “Shared Coffee”, therefore inheriting all their positive reviews. No one should care but the $6.50 cold brew I bought here today tastes bitter and has very little in common with the cold brew I happily paid less for at “Shared”....
