Tom n Toms

seemed pretty ok. came here at 4 AM and there were a surprising amount of people there for the time of night. cool variety of food and drink. i was just super confused as to why there was a security guard there and why he tried to backseat drive me when i pulled out of the (admittedly very small) parking lot

I came here around 8am because it was the only café open this early (besides Starbucks). I don’t know about any other times, but man… DO NOT come early. There were about 6 homeless sleeping inside around places in the café. I came here to do some studying, but I had no place to sit that was away from any of these bums. Management needs to get them out of this place. Might as well be a homeless shelter.
Oh, and the two girls working weren’t friendly at all. They do not know how to say: hello, thank you, have a nice day.

Pros:
–A+ for being ²⁴⁄₇
–decent food and drinks
Cons:
–hard to find a study spot
–bathroom is pretty gross. I try to avoid using the bathroom unless I have to. I can’t imagine what the guys side looks like.
–wifi is crap and dies every 5 minutes

I love their iced americano and patio sitting. They also have booths inside to the left, it’s secluded and very private. I haven’t tried their other menu options. Their service isn’t that great, but it looks like there is a high turnover rate, they are always training someone new when I come here.

Awesome interrupt décor and great environment to have conversation and meet with friends or a quick date. Didn’t get a chance to try the coffee/​tea because I was meeting with friends for a social visit. I would definitely come back simply for the ambience, décor, and to try to coffee/​tea and snacks.

Favorite café to come to study in that drinks are right up my alley and it is 24 hours. But with that said, it’s a 24 hour café.
One time deep in my study I noticed that a couple of cops were striding to a booth near me. As cops are often in and out of this café (which is also why I don’t mind coming here during late nights), I didn’t think much of it. But next thing I know they were arresting a guy in the booth. And with my eavesdropping artistry I later found out that the guy being arrested was casually snorting coke with the Tom n Toms straw.
But all was in good spirit because everyone seemed to be casual and friendly about the whole ordeal.

You know a place is good when you can get the house coffee and it tastes delicious. This is a great little coffee place where you can really get a lot of work done with no distractions. It’s great for groups, projects or just personal work. There is even a room in the back where your group of eight or more can close the door and really concentrate.
I came in the evening and the food items didn’t look all that fresh so I skipped out on that. But the hot drinks are great.
Also, if you’re looking for the wi-​fi password, it’s right above the counter with all the sugar and creamer for your coffee. It was «pretzels» when I went but I don’t know how often they change it.
I will probably be regular from now on.

Shit service, shit customer service.
Got there at 11:45 pm for tea and coffee unfortunately the register is closed until 12:15 am.
Look it’s fine if you’re busy counting cash register money but you could at least tell the waiting people who is in line to wait patiently instead of fucking smirking and giving the person attitude about opening the cash register at 12:15 am.
Seriously get your shit together

*Walks up to counter*
Hi. Is Tom here?
No, he’s not in today.
Oh, ok. Is Tom here?
Yes, I’m Tom.
Sorry, had to do that.
Righteous for not having decaf. Coffee was decent, plenty of seating and free wifi.
Tell Tom Jim & Jim said hi.

Service is good. Layout is nice. There’s the main room, back room, and front porch. Unfortunately, the iced Americano is weak in flavor but tastes a bit burnt. Some of the snacks look appetizing but on this occasion I did t try any.

I went there yesterday with my family and some friends.
A great location but awful place to be.
They packed. No place to sit but the patio.
Besides the services, i would like to address a nasty restroom experience that I had.
Men’s room was out of order. They let everyone use women’s. However the toilet cover in the women’s bathroom was broken. What the???
I had kids with me. How did they expect the kids to use the awful restroom??? Especially girls!!!
I am going to report it to the health department.
This doesn’t make sense at all.

Same as any other tom and toms. The coffee is average and ambience is nice. Good place to study as they have a lot of seats.

Packed. Great parking and open 24 hours though, so maybe your other options are limited.
FREE wifi, decent food, and MEH coffee.
Come on Tom, the coffee should be better … my americano was watered down like no other. It was a brown flavored cup of hot water.
Anyways, I think they specialize in «prettier» drinks and the location is always packed with people studying or just hanging out in a coffee shop and looking pretty a la Korea.
Come here during the odd hours and if you’re in need of free wifi. Cheers!

Yesterday I got Tom n Toms Vanilla Capunnico and I was shock.
I know it was late time for work. like 12PM. (They open for 24hours)
there is one guy and girl. Guy was doing cashier and she make coffee.
guy was okay, but for the girl have really bad attitude.
When coffee is ready, usually barista shout out coffee name and costumer get their coffee. But she doing nothing even she put coffee out of table.
so in front of costumer ask about what is coffee’s name (their is two of coffee and it is in hot coffee cup. so we can not know which one is his). she speak really fast with annoyance their coffee’s names. His face is really not comfortable, but he say nothing on that. I saw bad attitude about barista, so I stand right in front of barista table. and wait.
when coffee out she almost throw away even I stand just next to it.
and shouting coffee’s name. VANILLA CAPUNNICOOOOOOOO!!! :(
I thought she was fight with my coffee… OMG.
behind costumer (maybe next of my coffee) was said «she looks really mad for your coffee order, why don’t you get just water bottle? lol)
we laugh and get away. Coffee taste? not good. it was melt a lot. but give up complain — because I do not want to fight with one who got mad version.
Tom n Toms, please teach attitude .
I give up their nice smile. just please do not fight with my coffee.

I’ve visited here a few times. Nice coffee alternative to some of the other chains with some extra options. Nice café area if you need free wifi and a place to work with some coffee. There are some private seating areas for larger parties.

At first a was a fan of Tom n Toms but through the years I feel like the drinks are more and more watered down. Just recently I got the sweet potato latte — first of all kudos to them for coming up with a unique flavor. However this taste so sweet and watery. I don’t think there is any espresso in it at all.
Another reason for my disappointment is that they haven’t been selling cakes/​cheesecakes by the slice which I really liked from Tom n Toms. Now they just have a variety of store bought cookies. no thanks.

Free self parking AND open 24 hours?! Awesome! This is a great café to come and study in the middle of the night when you have no where else to go. However, there is 1 major downside to this location… which is seating. If you come during the day, especially during lunch on the weekdays or anytime during the weekend, you have to be like a vulture looking for someone that is leaving. With seating being so limited, it’s tough to choose this place to meet up friends.
I usually just get a tea here (because I’m not a big fan of their coffee). The last time I was here, I asked them for a medium tea but to put it in a large cup (because I like room in my cup) and they told me that I would have to be charged for the large drink. I thought that was a bit absurd.

Not a bad place to just hang out and chat. It’s an alright place to study in if:
1. You don’t mind loud music and people’s constant chatter.
2. You don’t mind that there are very few outlets in which to charge your electronic devices.
3. You don’t mind cramped spaces and somewhat uncomfortable chairs.
Parking is usually quite easy. They serve a variety of reasonably-​priced drinks and café food, too. The bathrooms are nasty and not cleaned up very often, so beware!

I loved this place! I had an Expresso Tomnccino, and it tasted 10x better than a Starbucks Frappé. It wasn’t too sweet, and it was not as watery as Starbucks’ frappes at all.
Not to mention their upstairs section is a REALLY nice place to study. I love how nice and sleek the place looks. If I lived in LA, I would definitely frequent this place to study!

LAST MINUTE PROCRASTINATORS UNITE!
(keep in mind this is the only 24 hour TOM n TOMs in K-​town)
I came here the night before my physiology final and was surprisingly super productive. It was a full house that night and I must saying I was vibing off of everyone else, because they were legitimately studying. Seating with outlets are pretty limited, so consider yourself lucky is you snag one! However, seating in general is also super limited since the place is only one story.
Drinks:
During my visit, I decided to get the caramel tomoccino. I asked for half sweet and sadly it was super bland. Oh wells, I guess that’s what I get for trying to be «healthy».
One star deductions:
1. For an all night study session you are bound to visit the restroom at least once. The restroom was smelly and unkempt which is a no no!
Final Verdict:
Desperate times (test days, midterms, finals) calls for desperate measures! This is the only place that I know I will get stuff done, so I will overlook the restroom complaint!
