Round K

Amazing coffee! Fantastic vibes and great, chill atmosphere. The community is warm and welcoming and their menu is straightforward and to the point.

I came here specifically for the corn latte, and it didn’t disappoint. The barista torched a little piece of corn on top which absolutely adorable. It was so good that I might have finished it in about two sips… not sure if it was too delicious or if I just have no self-control… Either way highly recommend!

Round K is a smaller coffee/cafe area serving various eats and coffees within the outskirts of the Chinatown area. The staff are friendly, can be a bit slow to service depending on how busy the establishment is but they do make sure you are taken care of. Unfortunately the outside garden was not able to be seated in, but it looks nice and would be a good place to stay. The food was alright. We got a sweet corn latte, which didn't really taste like anything sweet corn, just a regular latte with sweet corn on top. I don't know if that's how it was supposed to be served, but it didn't really stand out. The truffle fries were good, and had a nice flavor of truffle oil on it. We thought the popcorn chicken was gonna be closer to Taiwanese style, but instead came out with chili oil and closer to a Japanese spicy mayo on it. It was good and the chicken pieces were big, but the price was a tad expensive. Not much seating on the inside (only about 3 tables and a countertop area) so wait times might take a bit.

I GOT CATFISHED! Only after coming did and being super disappointed did I realize that this place is not the same as the one in the pictures and videos. NO, they don't have the corn latte or any of the other signature drinks. They only serve regular coffee and some treats. Pros: The coffee was delicious and crafted well. I decided to stay and get one and luckily it didn't disappoint. Sadly, everything else did. Cons: Literally everything else. The place looks like a dump with odd and ends and old furniture as decor. May it's trying to go for abandoned garage vibes and if so they nailed it. The music was in fact nice and service was great actually. I'm really just mad about being catfished. The owner needs to update the Google maps profile.

To quote one of my favorite movies Jackie Brown, “man what happened to you…. You used to be beautiful”. This place is a shell of its former self. It was nice to look at, interesting drinks and amazing vibe. It has none of that anymore. The latte I ordered turned out to be ok but if you’ve been to the old, cool version of this spot, either don’t come or set your bar way low.
