Absolutely fantastic, so delicious, very nice staff. Cute little cafe with large booths
Came here while I was getting my car washed around the corner! A super cute, quaint setting with current hip music on the speakers :) servers were kind & service was nice! Very sweet community. I got a spicy tuna roll & miso soup & lemon water and it was delicious! I enjoyed waiting here, would definitely visit again!
A great place for meeting, business meeting, friendly meeting, party and romantic date. A good casual food, tea, korean, italian, japanease food along with dessert. One thing. I wish their price is little bit more affordable.
Food was different! Its a korean mom and pappa restaurant. I got their rose tea, potato pizza, soba noodles, and rose pasta. Everything about this place will leave a scent tastings of flowers in your mouth. You will be lingering for more food after you are finished with your meal!
Stopped by for some pre-concert. Kind of an unexpected gem. A little slow, but we were satisfied with our meals! Happy they had GF options.
We were looking for a baby shower venue but we had an idea that only Cafe Scent could execute. We arranged a meeting with the owners and they accommodated our every request. Our baby shower was pumpkin themed because it was on Halloween wknd and we wanted to make pumpkin vase floral arrangements. The owners prepared a beautiful assortment of loose flowers for us to cut and arrange into our floral foam and pumpkin vases during the event. They also made us a gorgeous centerpiece ahead of time. We were happy they already had pumpkin dishes on their menu to match our theme like spicy rice cake with pumpkin, sweet pumpkin almond pizza, and sweet pumpkin mixed green salad. We also pre-ordered spicy pasta with tomato sauce, bacon pasta with cream sauce, Italian pizza, chicken quesadillas, oven baked chicken wings, chicken Caesar salad, and a variety of drinks. It was perfect because we had a mixture of Korean and American guests so the fusion of both cuisines fit everyone's palate and was really delicious. Cafe scent is amazing because they fulfilled our venue needs for florals, as well as provided flavorful food and drinks. They were attentive to our needs the whole time and even were generous to let us use their space when we went over on time and clean up our floral mess afterwards. Everything went seamless thanks to Cafe Scent. Thank you for the most beautiful and perfect baby shower!
Beautiful little gem tucked away in Koreatown. My girlfriend's and I met here for our first get together in 2 years. Our server was new, I believe his name was Terry. Young guy, very sweet. He grabbed a notepad and took our orders. One of my party had recently removed wisdom teeth so she was a little particular about her food and asked for a cup of hot water to rinse her mouth. He ended up bringing two cups of hot water just to be sure. The jujube tea, citron tea, and ginger tea were all delicious. Served warm not hot, which enabled us to enjoy them right away and didn't hurt my friend's mouth. There was a little white dog in the middle of the restaurant, far from the kitchen and far from the tables, but close to the restroom. She was hilarious and let you pet her when you walked by. This was the first public restroom I've ever see with a bidet! I didn't test it out but I was curious. The atmosphere takes you out of the city hustle and bustle and tucks you into a secret garden style botique eatery. All our food was delicious! My rose Pasta flavor was similar to a vodka sauce at an Italian place. Very flavorful! The spicy pasta my friend had was not spicy but it's possible they toned it down for us because places tend to do that with people they think are not aquatinted with a culturally spicy dish. Who knows? Whatever the case, if you go to a restaurant because you like a more nich style atmosphere and feel with a down home vibe, check it out.
This place is closer to my home, and sometimes I go there to get some coffee, latte with my friends. Their food is good and tasty as well as having good selection of dishes. I love their hamburger steak, quesadilla, rice cake dish and pastas. I would definitely recommend this place :)
