Mai coffee has house made fruit purees, no processed sugars, organic milk and you can definitely taste the difference! everything tastes so good!! Love the variety of flavors — Ive been looking for a cafe that serves black sesame and ube and excitedly gor both!! all the pastries look delicious and love the guava cream cheese. pistachio croissant is delicious too and flakey. Def will be back to try more flavors!’ love their menu!
Back at Mai Coffee & Teahouse because their drinks and pastries truly live rent-free in my head. The strawberry matcha with house-made puree was fresh, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Even my friend, a certified matcha skeptic, admitted there was zero grassiness, which says a lot. 🍓🍵 The Babanana Vietnamese coffee was bold, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet—easily my favorite drink I’ve had there so far 🍌☕️. And the guava cream cheese croissant? Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, sweet, tangy, and 100% worth the hype. If you see it available, don’t hesitate—just get it. Highly recommend stopping by Mai Coffee & Teahouse. You’ll thank me later.
Best Vietnamese coffee shop in Los Angeles. Came in for coffee and matcha and really enjoyed it. Drinks tasted fresh and well made. The place is clean, calm, and nicely designed. Service was easy and friendly, nothing forced. Good spot to sit, relax, and grab a solid coffee. Would come back again for sure.
The spot to pick up some drinks and pastries! It’s worth checking this place out if you want something refreshing! What I ordered: Mango Passion tea: made with their mango purée, stunning orangey color and super refreshing and not too sweet. Ube Cream Matcha: nice Ube flavor cream that balances out the matcha. Pistachio bun: Nice and flakey, crunchy pistachio topping with a bit too sweet cream in the center, I would definitely go get this again
Mai Coffee has such a cozy, modern vibe — the perfect place to study, hang out with friends, or simply unwind with a quality drink. The calm, welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to relax, and you can tell right away they truly care about using fresh, high-quality ingredients in everything they serve. What I ordered: 🍓 Strawberry Matcha — The matcha is really good and perfectly balanced with the strawberry! My favorite!! 🍵 🍵 Matcha Mochi — This drink is so smooth, and the mochi inside is bomb! I’ve never had mochi in a drink before — it’s incredible 🤩 🥐 Pistachio Bun — As a pistachio lover, this is hands down the best one I’ve had! Crispy, flaky, creamy, and perfectly nutty 💚
