Picnic Coffee — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Just like its name, the venue did give that picnic vibe with array of seats outside, went along with the vibrant and bright colors venue. Very limited seats inside, but good thing was most people came and go briefly.

Plenty of unique-flavored pastries were there, and I tried their Passion Fruit Kouign Amann that the barista recommended as his most favorite from the showcase. I made the right decision following the suggestion as it's simple yet delicate. Crispy buttery texture, complemented by sweet and refreshing passion fruit cream. I did wish there's more of the cream, as it's just at the center top.

As I was craving for hot coffee, I opted for their Spanish Latte. I initially requested them to make it without cayenne as it's called out as one of the ingredients, but they told me it's just very little that you might not even taste it.

I ordered the strawberry matcha and the almond yuzu croissant.

For the matcha, I first tried it on its own before mixing in the strawberry. The taste a bit like seaweed (which I didn’t like), but once I stirred in the strawberry at the bottom, I was surprised by how perfectly the flavors matched! I highly recommend giving it a try.

As for the croissant, it was the last one in the box, and the staff was very nice—they recommended I take it. I was impressed by its taste as well. I never knew that yuzu and almond comes together so perfectly.

The store’s atmosphere is also amazing—the furniture, colors, and overall style make it feel cozy and relaxing, like enjoying matcha at home. I definitely...
