Rōk
About
Rōk is a matcha bar on Olympic Blvd in K-Town; "rok" (록) means green in Korean, and the look borrows from Seoul café culture. The signatures are a thick matcha latte and the Matcha Duo, a strong matcha and a softer one in the same cup, plus seasonal specials.
Jasmine says
록 (rok): Korean for green.
The Matcha Duo is the signature:
one cup with espresso-style intensity and soft milk foam at the same time.
One of the starting points of K-Town's matcha arms race.
Seoul's matcha culture, reinterpreted in Los Angeles.
