Gong Gan

Absolutely delicious! Best kimchi fried rice I’ve ever had. The arugula, egg and avocado just makes it a game changing dish. I’ll be thinking about this kimchi fried rice a lot. Strawberry French toast was insanely scrumptious along with their corn latte and mango drink! Run, don’t walk, to Gong Gan!!

One of the most Instagrammable cafés in LA! Loved the sweet service the corn latte wasn’t my favorite, but that’s just personal taste. I’ll definitely be back to try the new menu. The design and aesthetics are absolutely stunning.

They have very interesting and unique coffee drinks as well as Matcha drinks the drinks taste so good and look very aesthetic as well. The food was amazing. It’s a Korean-based café so the food is Korean inspired as well. It’s a bit pricey for the dishes, but what can you say about inflation. However, it’s totally worth the price to eat the food. I got the kimchi fried rice. My friend got the bento box and they were both very amazing and delicious almost as good as how well my mom makes it at home. The service is awesome, and the ambience and the decorations of this place is really pretty and very photogenic. Highly recommend coming here if you’re in Silver Lake, and want some Korean inspired dishes, and delicious drinks.

New coffee shop in Silverlake with a fun, unique vibe! The coffee is delicious, and it’s a cute spot to work or catch up with friends. The decor is all about blue tones and dreamy clouds, which makes it extra charming. Street parking only, but worth the visit for the atmosphere and great drinks.

This place was delicious and a bit pricey, but well worth the amount of money that you will spend. We had their burger and french toast along with some of their choice latte, coffee, and tea. My kids loved the food as did I, I even had a little bit of spare time to get a glass of wine to partake in. They have an atmosphere that is very relaxed with vibe that says come and chill for a while with art and furniture to match their esthetic. I will definitely go back when possible and would definitely give them a look for a brunch or breakfast spot.

Honestly, I’ve heard some mixed reviews on Gonggan so I had to go try! I came here with a friend and was honestly impressed with every single thing we tried. If you’re a matcha lover, this place is heaven. We started with the Corn Cream drink: super creamy but not overly sweet. It had that rich, nutty flavor (고소해 lovers, you know what I mean!). Then came the Strawberry Matcha: which converted my friend who only drinks americanos. The bitterness of the matcha (ceremonial grade too!) balanced so well with the tangy, sweet strawberry layer. SO good. My personal favorite was “The Matcha Croffle.”It was decadent, but again, not cloyingly sweet. I literally used a spoon to scoop up the leftover cream and ice cream. No shame. We also tried the Brioche French Toast with Burrata, which somehow manages to be sweet and savory in the best way. The burrata was fluffy and the syrup brought it all together like a fancy brunch dish you’d expect at a high-end restaurant. The Gonggan Latte is a must-try if you like cream-topped espresso drinks. Their cream is different! lighter, smoother, and super well-paired with the bold espresso. And here’s the kicker: they serve alcohol! Their housemade soju highballs are a game changer. We tried the Korean Melon and Plum!! both super refreshing and not too strong, perfect if you’re not into straight soju. The space is clean, and aesthetically pleasing with great natural lighting. Perfect for your instagram update for a Saturday lunch, I really didn’t wait for so long to order or to get my food! Street parking is available, but it’s metered, so keep that in mind. Gonggan is definitely going into my regular rotation. Whether you’re here for matcha, brunch, or just a vibey place to sip and chat they’ve got you covered.

Gong Gan is such a beautiful and welcoming space in Los Angeles. The atmosphere is calm, thoughtfully designed, and perfect whether you’re meeting friends, studying, or just enjoying some quiet time. The drinks are excellent — carefully prepared, balanced, and consistently high quality. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely make you feel at home. Every visit feels relaxing and enjoyable, and it’s clear how much care goes into creating this experience. Gong Gan has become one of my favorite spots in LA, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place that combines great coffee, great service, and an inspiring environment.

Gong Gan (est 2025) is a Korean-inspired coffee shop in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. Its korean name (공간) translates to "space". This cafe is known for its aqua blue color, decor and aesthetic drinks, delicious food, and photogenic interior. Everything about this cafe is IG content worthy, even their menu pamphlet. Lol. They offer coffee, tea, specialty drinks, juice and even wine. Staff was affable and competent. I ordered a Jamanco smoothie ($9.66) and it was interesting but good nonetheless. Indoor seats are comfy as well the outdoor patio. Atmosphere was relaxing. Interior space can feel claustrophobic especially on a busy weekend. Not only they have hot and cold coffee drinks, they also serve breakfast items such as Brioche French Toast. What befuddled me was the food and drink prices which can be jarring to the pocket. Service was spot on. Ample of street parking and lot available. One thing they need to improve was the front gutter bc it’s riddled with mud dirt. Overall, it’s a great addition to the neighborhood and first Korean cafe.
