Not too sweet, not too bitter. The service at this place is top notch! The workers are so sweet and hands the drink out to you. I love the atmosphere there!

My new favorite spot! I drive by Dol often and finally…read moredecided to stop in and check out their menu. I'm glad I did! Dol is located in a busy strip mall, so the free parking directly in front can be a little tight, but there is additional parking around the shopping center. When you walk in, the space is open and spacious with plenty of seating and tables. I've seen customers working on their laptops, as well as groups sitting together, laughing and enjoying their drinks. It has a really nice, relaxed atmosphere. Ordering is easy. The menu is displayed above the counter, and they also have handheld menus available. I had a few questions, and the cashier was very helpful in helping me narrow down what I wanted. You can customize the sweetness level of your drink and add extras like boba. Once you decide, you place and pay for your order using the ordering screen. The prices are reasonable, the drink sizes are generous, and the wait isn't long. They usually bring your order right to you. My favorite so far is the Coco Matcha. I enjoyed it so much that I've already been back! Dol specializes in Vietnamese coffee drinks, but they have plenty of other options as well. Definitely worth stopping by. You just might find yourself coming back like I did!

YEEMS IN OC PLEASE!!…read more We got the Vienna matcha, Vienna latte, and the ube buttercream latte. The ube buttercream was my favorite! The ube flavor shined through even after being completely mixed into the latte, which was pleasant. This location has a lot of high traffic and is within a plaza with ample parking. There are tables and chairs to sit inside to wait or use to study.

So far have tried the Tiger Latte, Banana Milk Latte, and the signature Coconut Matcha (hella good if you're into Matcha). All made with distinct flavors that you can't taste without being diluted by the ice and has a good kick of caffeine to keep you going. Even tried a couple of scones, the ube and cinnamon honey. Ube is top so far with their blend of macadamia nut imbedded in the pastry. Ordered through the app but the service is always pleasant from the staff. Always friendly and never delayed. Great space to work in as well as there's plenty of sitting areas for you and your group. Overall will be back for more!

Went there around 8:00am on a Saturday and they barely had any bread out and had to wait for the…read moresalt bread to finish baking. We ordered 5 breads each and one batch was finished baking and instead of giving us some fresh bread as they come out they waited until everything was done baking which was another 30 minutes (even though they said 10 minutes) and thennn they stuffed all 10 breads into one box. All the salty garlic breads stuffed with the sweet ones. Appalling. I had to ask for another box and they couldn't even be bothered to help us. The salt breads themselves were good but the service was so appalling bad that I don't think it's worth your time or money or effort getting there. Original: good but didn't have it fresh Cream cheese garlic: I usually don't like sweetness in my savory items but this was pretty good K-cheese dog: this tasted more like bbq Hot honey pep: pretty good but not hot at all Coffee: my least favorite. Couldn't taste much coffee flavor at all Triple choco: this got ruined bc they mushed the savory and sweet together so it tasted like garlic choco Hodduk: pretty good a little on the sweeter side but I liked it Squid ink matcha: just a squid ink bread with white chocolate matcha on top. No filling. It's good but was hoping for more matcha flavor. Ube: the inside has sweet potato stuffing which is good but also not ube. Not to mention we ordered the san blanc and pear milk tea. The san blanc was actually very good but the pear milk tea barely had any pear flavor and the tea flavor was also very watered down. I asked for some pear syrup and lowkey it made it worse bc it just tasted like sweet milk.

I'm not one to write reviews but I had to say something…read more First off, love the coffee here. Needed to mention that yesterday the employees did a great job handling a rude and disgruntled customer. Kudos to the Nook for keeping it professional. The staff is always super friendly and they make my Spanish latte perfect every time. Sucks they have to deal with crazy people time to time but hey, that's life!

The drinks here are seriously so good, and the flavors are incredible!…read moreThe strawberry matcha latte was the perfect balance of sweet, fruity strawberry and earthy matcha, with neither flavor overpowering the other. The hojicha was just as amazing, with a deep, rich, roasted flavor that was so smooth. The service was honestly just as impressive as the drinks! Our drinks came out in literally ONE MINUTE, which was insanely fast!! The staff was super sweet, friendly, and welcoming and the atmosphere is a busy in and out coffee shop. Such a fun spot with amazing drinks and even better service. Definitely coming back!!

We went in and the place was really busy. They were sold out on all Tiramisus and a lot of flavors . We got the Strawberry Bingsoo and it was great. Amazingly thin and soft layer of shaved ice with strawberries. This is one of the best desserts I've had. Absolutely Loved it. I will be checking out more Bingsoo spots now. Its my new favorite dessert !!

Went here last Saturday night after dinner as one of our friends recommended this place since she…read moreoften come here for dessert. She ordered for us - we picked matcha, mango and sweet corn. We also added tiramisu afterwards. The shaved ice is soft like clouds and almost creamy in texture. You dig in and there's more fruit underneath. Out of the 3 I'll rank sweet corn as the highest, next mango last matcha. Sweet corn nailed down all the elements I want because of the crunchy toppings. But they have so many other flavors so if I ever go back to this area I'll try the other ones. Tiramisu is also a good option if you don't want shaved ice. The place is crowded with groups and for a place that has fluorescent lighting it did not matter as I noticed customers stayed and we also ended up being here for over 1.5+ hours. Maybe that's why they have Stevie wonder "overjoyed" on continuous play? Is that a ploy to get customers out? It didn't work for us and made us laugh until we cried because it played endlessly for 27 times!!! So yes 1 star less for a broken playlist or whatever sound system they use.

Street parking was pretty easy as it's right in the downtown Gardena area. Drinks itself are pretty solid, but a bit pricey. They did mention ahead of time the matcha I ordered would come in a smaller cup but for the price...it's still a bit steep for what you get. The flavor was good though! I love matcha but I'd actually prefer the oolong drink given the price point, cup size, and overall great flavor.

The space is a little small for the demand of this shop & the parking can be less than ideal. Matcha is known to be light and sweet and their banana cream matcha is nice and light and quite strong banana in a good way.

I went for their most recent POV husband event and this custom drink for the event was by far their best (simple agave vanilla cold foam matcha) and I hope they bring it back for the permanent menu

I tried the chrome and banana lattes and I felt the banana wasn't overly sweet, I really liked the cold foam on the chrome one too! The coffee was pretty solid, the baristas were all friendly as well. My only issue with this cafe is that the line wrapped around the store, but the only menu faced the door away from the line or right up at the counter. When waiting that long, I feel it helps to actually see the menu before I order and wish it was more accessible. The one menu on the wall was not the full menu just the featured drinks which was somewhat helpful.

Main Course: N/A Drinks: (Score: 5 ) My wife ordered a hot Tiramisu Cream Latte; the flavor and presentation were fine, BUT... it was cold. She asked the staff to exchange it; it took them 10 minutes to bring it back, and the worst part was that they handed her a cold coffee when it was supposed to be hot. I ordered a hot Spanish Latte; my coffee was hot and well-presented. Another important point: we ordered a pastry to have with our coffee, but they didn't bring it out until after the meal--haha.

You can also tell that a lot of care and thought went into designing this space. I'm obsessed with the blue tile and the perfectly coordinated retail wall. While I was here, I saw such a wide variety of customers, which I loved. You can tell everyone is welcome and that people genuinely feel comfortable spending time here. Lastly, I wanted to shout out the two employees working on 7/31 around 8:00 a.m ("BigVee" & a gentleman with longer hair who made my avocado toast) They were both so friendly and welcoming. It was early, so I would've understood if they were still waking up, but they were both bubbly, kind, and made my morning a little brighter. If a manager sees this, please let them know how amazing they are!
