rōk Coffee and Tea

rōk crossed into the Valley with this Ventura Boulevard room, the third to open and the largest the house has built. Its name comes from chorōk, the Korean word for green, and the two daughters behind it started from the belief that even a busy city should have places that feel more intentional.

Globe pendants hang over rōk's Studio City counter on long brass stems, three milk-white spheres above a bar front of vertical green glazed tile under a white top, with a glass pastry case at one end. White walls run up to a plain white ceiling set with recessed lights, the house hoodies and a shelf of white cups take the right wall, and green metal chairs stand on a mosaic of small white tiles dotted with black.
