LOL guys now looking back at this I realized I never gave memory look a ranking 💀 but pls let it be known that I’d make memory look 3rd place overall! So here’s my official rating: 1. DAMO coffee 2. Cafe de Lala (NOT lala land kind cafe) 3. Memory look 4. 85c 5. Lala land kind cafe 6. Memory Look
You’re the first youtube/tiktok person I’ve seen that hasn’t liked Maru and I love that! It used to be good during 2020 when they used minor figures oat milk. They made the switch to the barista oatly and it’s sooo bad now. All I taste is milk even though it’s bright green. I don’t even go anymore. Stereoscope yorokobi matcha milk all the way 10/10 🎉
I was honestly surprised a lot of ppl recommended Maru bc it was so mid to me and SO expensive compared to the other places I went to! And yeah the matcha flavor was really weak :/
Yesss my rating would have been exactly the same!! DAMO 🔛🔝!! For me: DAMO (it’s actually in Koreatown!) has the perfect amount of sweetness. I think the cup is also a bit bigger than Cafe de Lala and their other drinks like mango cream matcha and hojicha latte are sooo good. And YES finally someone who agrees with me about Maru. A lot of ppl say Maru is for true coffee enthusiasts but Idk.. I’ve also been told the one in DTLA (or Arts District) is better than the Los Feliz one (the one you went to, which also apparently is the worst location) - I’ve been to both and didn’t like either 😅 Places to try for next time: 1. Stereoscope (there are a few locations but the one in Hollywood is 👌🏻) - they have 3 different types of matcha and I usually get their strawberry matcha (regular if you want more sweet, ask for ceremonial grade if you want less sweet/more earthy) 2. YEEMS (in Ktown) - I actually like their Vienna latte the most there but their matcha latte/strawberry matcha is just as good 3. Community Goods (super hyped because it’s the Bieber’s fav coffee shop apparently) - a bit pricy and cups are smaller but their matcha with cream top is so so good, it’s my guilty pleasure 😩
@@lifewithaiko omg THANK YOU for all these recommendations 😍 i definitely will try these next time I’m back in LA! And haha ofc I end up at the worst location of Maru😂 but oooo I def gotta try DAMO’s other lattes!
DAMO makes my favorite matcha!! I go there if I want to treat myself to a nice matcha 💚 I also enjoy Farm Cup Coffee’s lavender matcha. It’s located on Santa Monica Blvd right before hitting Fairfax Ave. hope you get to try it!!!
Erewhon has by far the best matcha I've ever had. I recommend the raw, cold-pressed coconut milk (they make it onsite), with their keto coconut whipped cream on top. Best $17 I've ever spent.
you immediately lost me when you said cafe de la la was your favorite… but then again I’ve only tried the location at the grove. even with sweetener it wasn’t good. but hell ya damo is my fav!! ☺️🫶🏼

I’m a fan bc they use Ippodo Tea to make their matcha. I find this particular brand to be deliciously smooth.
barista milks 🤝seed oils so they froth
As a LA resident, you'll need to try Junbi, Midori Matcha, Tea Master Matcha Cafe...so many out here!
Ooo I shall! Thank you for the reccos❤
To me hands down stereoscope makes the best Matcha in LA. I would recommend trying it out
Would recommend the Dulce iced blueberry matcha latte on your next trip
I’m so obsessed with matcha 🍵 Damo is amazing!! I need to try the 85 degree one hahah
I’m surprised Memorylook didn’t make the cut. The presentation looked better than all of the stores
LOL that’s because I totally forgot to rank it 💀 but it would have been 3rd overall looking back at it and 85c would be 4th :)
@@leahmags I tried Memorylook, Cafe De LaLa, and DAMO. I liked DAMO the most
I’m surprised you didn’t go to RE:coffee in Northridge while you were there. They have one of the best matcha einspanners.
next time you’re in la try stereoscope or community goods, they’re both 10 / 10
Oooo will do!

@@Gisele-y2z omg yay! I hope you enjoyed it 🥰
Next time you're in LA please try put stereoscope!!! my fav basic iced matcha latte is PERFECTION ✨
I've heard so many good things about that place! I'll definitely try that next time I'm in LA :)

Yes I also didn't like the matcha at Maru
Damo is in Koreatown, not Japantown. :)
@@starmin5 Woops my b!
TEA MASTER!!! next time try it :)
Damo is in ktown lol
you immediately lost me when you said cafe de la la was your favorite… but then again I’ve only tried the location at the grove. even with sweetener it wasn’t good. but hell ya damo is my fav!! ☺️🫶🏼
Haha I swear this location is better than the grove (at least imo). But Damo will always be my #1 :)
