Crema's Take
“Aviator leans hard into Instagram-worthy specialty drinks—matcha lattes, Persian ice cream, creative flavor combinations—and has a genuinely nice hidden terrace, but the execution is inconsistent and portions are noticeably small for the price. Reviews consistently mention drinks that are too sweet, not quite what they promised, or underwhelming in taste, and you're looking at spending $60 to leave hungry. It's a decent spot if you're after novelty and aesthetics over substance, but don't expect standout coffee or a filling meal.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings.

I’d heard a lot of good things about this place and finally stopped by. We only tried the Persian ice cream, it was nice, not the best I’ve had, but it was really different in a good way, you can tell it’s homemade with quality ingredients. They had a lot of fun items on the…
It makes me sad to see the bad reviews— came here on a Thursday afternoon, one group ahead of me… only took less than ten mins to get my 2 drinks— Ube matcha & pistachio latte. I love to try all of the area coffee shops— I mean this is LA!! I don’t have a huge budget but will…
Beautiful presentation and everything looked amazing.. definitely Instagram worthy and tasted good too. But the portions were tiny for the price. I spent $60 and left hungry. Great for photos, but not worth it if you're expecting a real meal or good value.
