I don't know why but this place struck a chord in me. Probably because it's a cozy cafe with giant windows that lets that intoxicating LA light flood in... and the decor is ridiculously simple but still mod and homey (how do they do that?). But mostly because it's a cafe that was started by Koreans. I don't know, I guess I find that inspiring and empowering. I feel asians are a minority that are often left out or kind of forgotten so knowing there are Korean people doing super cool things like Maru, puts a smile on my face. Keep it coming guys.
