Community Goods
About
In CA, Community Goods is a popular spot for matcha enthusiasts. Reviewers often mention the best matcha in LA, praising its rich and creamy flavor. The matcha einspanner, priced around $4.50, and hojicha latte at about $3.50 to $4.00 are frequently highlighted. However, some find long wait times (30-60+ minutes) and high prices a drawback. Staff is noted for being friendly once inside, but limited outdoor seating can be inconvenient on sunny days. Despite these issues, many still believe the quality justifies the cost. Community Goods remains a go-to spot among locals, who appreciate its Japanese elements in the matcha. The overall atmosphere is pleasant, though it can get crowded during busy times like weekends. The café also offers great coffee and breakfast sliders, providing good value for money.
