A plant-based Koreatown café, this unique destination caters to vegans, vegetarians and nut buffs with its signature "mylk" blended from cold-pressed cashews, macadamias, hazelnuts, almonds and walnuts. As a frothy whipped garnish or stirred into any menu item, it's a rich, mellow alternative to traditional dairy.

Loose leaf black, green, oolong and Earl Grey leaves are at the heart of this global chain, which attracts with more than 600 drink combinations. Whether your goal is to quench thirst, slake a sweet tooth or fend off hunger with a potpourri of stretchy, springy garnishes blanketed in pastel-hued fruit smoothie, it's likely you'll reach it here. 

Efficient service and a rainbow of fragrant concoctions ensure repeat visits to this welcoming chain with locations across the city. Here, drinks are sweetened with honey, never white sugar, and plenty of specials, both daily and monthly, keep things endlessly interesting. 

Though quality ingredients, top-notch sourcing and made-to-order guarantees are the real draws to this cute shop, the appeal of its sleek bottles is hard to overstate.
