Café Mak
612 Shatto Pl, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“This LA gem strikes that rare balance of being genuinely spacious yet intimate, making it equally suited for focused work sessions and casual hangouts with friends. Beyond the reliable specialty coffee, Cafe Mak distinguishes itself with creative drink experiments like their chocolate matcha, thoughtful touches like abundant outlets throughout, and a diverse menu that extends to Belgium waffles and wine—creating a full experience that goes well beyond typical coffee shop fare. Just know that while the welcoming atmosphere and design shine, service consistency seems to be an occasional wild card worth keeping in mind.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
