Our History & Staff

Our journey and the passion behind Rōk Coffee and Tea

Rōk Coffee and Tea was created to bring a fresh and modern matcha café experience to Koreatown, Los Angeles. Our goal is simple — serve high-quality matcha and specialty coffee in a calm and welcoming space where people can relax and enjoy something special.

From the beginning, we focused on using quality ingredients and carefully crafting every drink. Signature favorites like the Matcha Duo and our cream-topped lattes quickly became popular with guests who love smooth, balanced flavors.

Today, Rōk Coffee and Tea is known as a cozy café where friends meet, matcha lovers gather, and visitors can take a small break from the busy city while enjoying beautifully made drinks.
