Cafe Maji - Artesia, California

Stumbled upon this place by accident, and I really enjoyed my time here. The banana vanilla mocha is super delicious whether hot or iced (I prefer hot) and the food is really good. The owner is super sweet and puts a lot of care into the lattes. I got to practice my Korean with him and he was very nice about it. I really recommend this place 🙂
정말 감사합니다!

Was in the area and decided to try this cafe.

Plenty of free parking.

Upon entering there are lots of tables with seats but it's seems more like an old school Internet cafe with lots of young students in their laptops.

The barista is friendly.

I wanted hot tea but they only offer warm tea. It was super sweet. I wish he would've asked what level of sweetness I wanted. It tasted like pure syrup.

Overpriced in my opinion especially since I took my drink to go. They should offer two different prices. A higher price for customers who are seated for hours and using their Internet and a lesser price for take out/to-go

Looks like there they offer food/snack items and specialize in other drinks.

It appears they cater to young college kids with less discerning taste for tea or coffee. Just a place for them to hang out and study.

A quiet cafe in Cerritos found in the same compound as Bruster's Ice Cream, Cafe Maji offers a serene escape from the bustling city. This Korean-owned cafe boasts a cozy, library-like atmosphere, perfect for those seeking a quiet study spot or a tranquil retreat.

The menu features a variety of drinks and snacks, including their delightful macha coffee, refreshing jollypong shake, and savory grilled cheese. The portions are generous, exceeding those found in nearby establishments, without breaking the bank. The friendly staff, particularly the patient counter attendant who helped us navigate their coffee menu, added to the overall positive experience.

As an added bonus, we were surprised with a complimentary cream puff, a sweet gesture that further enhanced our visit. Cafe Maji is a highly recommended destination for students looking for a conducive study environment or anyone seeking a peaceful respite from the city's noise.

Protect this place at all costs, will be devastated if it ever shuts down 😩 I ordered the s’mores latte and it was absolutely fantastic. Such a sweet treat. Prices are so good and the area is great for working (there are tables with chargers already plugged in) Huge fan of the latte art as well!

Honestly one of the best cafes I’ve ever been too. 10/10. As a fellow barista, I have to say that the lattes are so good and the latte art is the cutest! I recommend the hot vanilla lavender white latte. Best customer service I’ve seen in so long. The place is big with alot of seating and it’s an amazing place to study. It gives lofi vibes for sure! Ooo! I also get the French fries which are good too. Here are some pictures from my visits.

Café Maji is like an Internet Café from back in the days. Just nowadays everybody brings their own laptop. You can find many Students here working on assignments or chilling. The café has a big selection of teas and coffees including some organic varieties. I did not try any of the big selection of food varieties as I just came from dinner. Cozy space to work on the laptop with plenty of tables and seating.

I found this place fairly recently. I take my electric scooter about 30-40mins to get here. It's a lovely environment to sit down & study. Students are much of the clientele. The menu is quite large, so it might seem a little overwhelming at first. However, I've liked all the drinks I've tried so far, & the food has been delicious. The owner(?) is also incredibly friendly & polite. Quick to serve & tend to customers. I love the fried chicken dumplings, they're hard to resist every time I go.
The interior is very homey; you won't find the usual chic or modern furnishings common in many cafes. However, the furnishings serve their purpose, & the calm, pleasant energy + music more than make up for it. The small figures & artworks on display are also cute.
Overall, I've been very happy with my experiences at the cafe so far.
