Cafe Upper

If you need extra stimulation to be productive, Cafe Upper in Koreatown has the jolt you’re looking for. This industrial cement space plays high-energy K-pop and serves caffeine in every way imaginable: a creamy vienna latte, dalgona coffee, dirty matcha, cookies and cream frappuccinos (we could go on). There’s plenty of seating and outlets, a backlot with free parking, and sugary food options to keep you wired, like glossy creme brulee donuts and “croffles” with vanilla ice cream.
