About Anko

Small shop serving specialty coffee, drinks and Taiyaki.

Anko is an asian dessert in Los Angeles, California. It is listed at 400 S Western Ave Ste. 103, Los Angeles, CA 90020, which places it among the local businesses of Los Angeles that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Bubble tea, tea houses, Asian bakeries and dessert shops in this group are usually walk-in, counter-order businesses with a menu board overhead listing sweetness and ice levels you can adjust when ordering. Standard bubble tea customization includes sugar level (0-100%), ice level, and a choice of toppings like boba pearls, pudding or jelly, usually at a small extra charge. Asian bakeries sell items individually with tongs and a tray, cafeteria-style, rather than pre-boxed, and pastries are typically less sweet than Western bakery items. Lines build up quickly after school and in the evening, especially near colleges. Most of these businesses accept cards and mobile pay and skew younger in clientele and atmosphere.

The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 10 am–9 pm. It is closed on Wednesday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (213) 568-3657.

Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across California's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

My son is moving into the neighborhood and after the drive/unpacking, we were both craving a treat on such a hot day. We discovered Anko within walking distance of his apartment. Wonderful service and cute ambience. There is nothing like the fluffy and cloudy texture of binsu ice. I chose the pumpkin with red beans, to try something different. The flavor of the pumpkin was very subtle. I enjoyed the refreshing treat, not too sweet. My son said that his iced matcha latte hit the spot. I want to try that taiyaki next time I come to visit.

The mango Bingsoo was refreshing and flavorful. Not artificial. The pumpkin Bingsoo was a pleasant surprise. Unique flavor that paired really well with the red bean they provided on the side. Presentation was beautiful. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy it again!

The Dessert: The Order: I tried their 4-piece Boongapang (Bungeoppang). Taste & Value: It was $12 for the order, and they tasted really good! It is a fantastic spot to grab a freshly made Korean street-food classic. Logistics & Vibe: Seating: It is a very popular spot, so it is not easy to find a seat during peak hours. The Visit: Because of the crowds, I visited right about closing time on a Friday night. If you are looking to actually sit down, late night or off-hours might be the best strategy. Verdict: Delicious, fresh Bungeoppang, but be prepared for limited seating during the weekend rush!

Anko is a café that pairs coffee with desserts in a space that feels calm and carefully considered. The interior is clean and elegant, anchored by warm wood tones that soften the room. We ordered two flavors of shaved ice, taiyaki, and a green grape sparkling water. The shaved ice was the highlight—impeccably textured, fine and feathery like fresh snow, melting almost instantly on the tongue. Both the milk and strawberry versions were well balanced in sweetness and easy to enjoy, never cloying. The green grape sparkling water leaned bright and tart, garnished with a slice of green apple, though it edged slightly too sour—enough to raise the question of whether the note came from vinegar or an overripe garnish. Overall, Anko is a solid café with a clear point of distinction, serving what may be some of the best shaved ice in town.

The shaved ice cream here is excellent. We tried the hojicha and matcha, and both were super yummy 😋. The hojicha comes with milk and chestnut, while the matcha has matcha cream and red beans; both combinations were delicious and well balanced. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is the slow service. On a previous visit, we waited so long that we eventually had to cancel our order and leave.
