There was a bit of a wait, but the iced vanilla flat white was absolutely delicious and well worth it. The barista who took our order was super friendly and gave us some great recommendations for our first visit. Definitely a great coffee spot in LA!

Hands down the best espresso experience I’ve ever had. The Bon Bon is unreal—the sugared rim, the silky cream on top, and the perfectly rich espresso underneath create the perfect balance. The first sip is smooth, creamy, and lightly sweet, then the bold espresso kicks in for an amazing finish. I’ve never had anything like it. A must-try if you love coffee.

While traveling in LA, I accidentally discovered a wonderful cafe. Despite the early morning rain, people were lining up outside. (Small space to wait inside)The menu featured several unique drinks not found in typical coffee shops, and they tasted incredible. Learning that it was a Korean brand made me feel quite proud, and I was delighted to find out they also have a location in New York where I live. I purchased a bag of coffee beans, which came in beautifully designed packaging. I fully intend to visit the New York branch soon. Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable visit.

Maru Espresso Coffee is my go-to most mornings on my early walk — it’s become part of my routine. The coffee is consistently smooth and perfectly balanced, and you can tell they really care about quality. It’s the kind of cup that genuinely starts your day right. The vibe is warm and relaxed, and the team are always friendly and welcoming (even during the morning rush). When I’m grabbing a quick takeaway , it never disappoints. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable, quality coffee spot.

Often a line out the door but always worth it and usually moves quick. I’m obsessed with their vanilla bean flat white. The espresso is amazing and bold, but smooth. The vanilla bean tastes so natural. Worth the price tag!!!

Real as it gets. Really good coffee. Got the cream top drink, sweet cream on top and long black underneath. I didn't know what long black is so for those like me, it's like an Americano except the espresso is poured on top of water (rather than the water into the espresso) which apparently makes it taste richer. Idk about all that hoopla, but here's what I can tell you, it tastes damn good. With each sip you get the perfect mix of flavors. First you taste the rich, strong, and bitter (in the best way) coffee - which also has a tiny hint of orange which works wonderfully. Then, just as it's about to become overpowering, you get the sweet cream on the back of the tongue, balancing it out. Each sip was a delight. That said, by the time I was 70ish% done, I wasn't enjoying it as much. I'm unsure why, but wanted to share my honest feedback. I really wanted to like it as much as I first did, but toward the end maybe the balance was off or something, or the underlying flavors didn't work as well as I thought, but didn't like it as much. Still, I will return. Very good coffee.

Such a cute coffee spot, with a line out the door, and I can see why. We waited a good 10 min on a Saturday morning, but it was so worth it. I got the Iced Breve Macchiato, and hubby got the Cream Top and the Espresso. ALL were great coffees and really yummy. That cream thing they put on top is seriously unforgettable. I'll come back for sure!

First time at Maru and really enjoyed it. The coffee was smooth and their signature cream topping added a nice, subtle richness. Not much seating inside, but it’s a great option to go — there’s a nice seating area just around the corner in the Beverly Hills square. Friendly staff and quick service.
