Matcha taste is earthy, strong but still kinda sweet. We'll be coming back to try their other drinks. Parking isn't bad, lots of parking when we went and we went on a Sunday late afternoon. Store decor is cute. They have a lot of cute airport/travel displays and decor. Not too many seatings, especially for a bigger group.

Might be my favorite coffee shop in South Bay…read more Bada Coffee is kinda small, but it has extra seating outside in the courtyard with a water fountain. Their drinks are very good, even their cold brew is very smooth and tasty. We had one of their pastries, sticky bun, and it was delish. They don't have a huge selection of pastries, but from what I can see, the ones they do have look super yummy. Drinks- great, ambience- modern and sleek (with a robotic arm to help with some drinks), service- very attentive and helpful, parking- ample spaces in a strip mall, location- off PCH, easy to find. Lastly, dog friendly, with dog biscuits at the counter. What more could you ask for? I'm definitely making this one of my go-to places. Great way to spend a morning, seating in the courtyard with sound of water in the background, enjoying a great cup of coffee with my doggy. Can't complain!

You can tell they put a lot of effort into their food and drinks. As for the ambiance, it's perfect for those who want to hang out and catch up with friends/family or to study. When I visited, there were easily 5 other groups and individuals studying here. I have a big soft spot for banana flavored items. A BIG SOFT SPOT. Banana Cream Pie Latte - this one carries the biggest punch for banana lovers. Banana cream the entire way from start to finish. Not too sweet. Awesome foam top too. I highly recommend drinking these without the straw. Foam top drinks are best appreciated when you get a nice 50:50 ratio of the foam and drink. Banana Matcha Latte - the name speaks for itself. It's a nice mixture of both. So if you're looking to feel a little healthier with the matcha element, then go for it. This was probably the prettiest drink of the 3 that we had. Americano - delicious and got the job done here. I naturally enjoy Ethiopian and Colombian beans. I brew them often at home. I was definitely wide awake after these drinks lol Strawberrynana Waffle - If you LOVE belgian-style waffles like me, then you'll find yourself ordering this again and again. It wasn't too sweet but sweet enough to easily go through 2 or 3 of these plates if you're crazy enough. Banana Walnut Honey Bread - the best for last! I really loved eating brick toast growing up. There were so many stores back in the day that sold them, and now I can't find them as easily. In fact, Caffe Bene is the only place in the South Bay that I know that sells them. This one brought me back to the past and put a gigantic smile on my face. Delicious, perfectly sweet, balanced, and finished wanting more. Highly recommend!

Hidden gem of sweetness. Service is always kind and quick. It's a small shop that gets hot easily…read morebut definitely nice to have their ice cream for the heat. Chestnut fuji mountain is simple, nutty, and perfectly sweet. The chestnut flavor is highlighted with the plain vanilla with nice texture coming from something that tasted like Cheerios or something similar to it. Kyoto chestnuts are a must, I can eat them any time and enjoy it. Best when warm/hot. Perfect and no notes.

Tried the Mont Blanc, chestnut cookie, chestnut donut, and chestnut wheel cake…read more Ordered online for pickup. The online ordering said 30 mins but it was ready way before that. Mont Blanc- honestly the only thing that was actually worth getting out of everything I tried. For $10 it's a bit pricey for the quality. I do know it's a lengthy process to make, but it's not even fresh. Upon opening the lid, there were some ice shards on the side of my cup. The chestnut part of it was extremely delicious but the cheesecake on the bottom was so stale and dry. Chestnut cookie - so small. Only contained a few pieces of chestnut. The cookie is dry. Chestnut donut- this is literally a cake version of the cookie. To my disappointment, this was not fresh. It was cold- like refrigerated cold. So dry and stale. Chestnut wheel cake- this was warm but the cake part of it is also soooo dry. Overall the chestnuts are delicious but the execution of the items is so poor. I was very disappointed because I loved the chestnuts. Maybe next time I will just get the roasted chestnuts.

This coffee bar is incredible, there is almost always a wait (especially during noon so prepare for…read morethat) but it's always 100% worth it. Their coffee is phenomenal. I have gone with a few people many times and our favorites are: the Spanish latte, Mexican Chai, Chai Latte, and Mocha Latte. The Spanish latte is especially good, and the Chai latte is the best I have had in my life it's so well made. The Mexican Chai I can only describe as a cinnamon heaven with the best Chai base flavor ever. The Mocha latte is heavy in the best way possible, it's super strong and I love it. The best part I think for all the drinks is the baristas do not hold back on the coffee, and you always get your moneys worth. None of it is water down, and it's such a great pick me up. I can't really speak on the Matcha cause no one in my group has tried it since we aren't really big Matcha enjoyers. But I have been told that the strawberry Matcha is transcendent and absolutely fantastic. They have a bunch of Matcha flavor options as well, which would be amazing if I was a Matcha connoisseur, but unfortunately, I'm not . So I can't really speak well on that yet, but have only told fantastic things about it. The workers are all kind and work really fast so you get your drinks really quickly even though the line is pretty long. I will say the best time to go and get drinks is around in the morning when they open around 7:30 on the weekends. Again I have to restate wait is always 100% worth it for the amazing quality drinks you will get. I also forgot to mention the fact, you can customize your drinks to have different types of milk and they also have a bunch of other vegan food options as well. I think this is amazing even though my group doesn't really get those options, because I've been told even when people change out the milk, it taste the exact same, which I think is absolutely incredible. (Side note I may update this when I take a photo next time I go because I always forget to before I put on the top on and start drinking ) The experience is great. The drinks are absolutely incredible and the workers are very nice and very helpful.5/5 stars

My experience at this Torrance coffee shop on a rainy Saturday afternoon was fairly pleasant! The…read moreplace was busy, and I ordered the Island Matcha, which was excellent. Made with coconut, macadamia syrup, and oat milk by default, it had a perfectly balanced, tropical flavor--great for vegans or the lactose intolerant. However, it's not the best spot for working or studying. The WiFi was so slow that I had to use my personal hotspot, and the seating consists of benches and mini tables that aren't comfortable for long periods. There are a few outlets, but you have to cross the street to a food court to use the bathroom. They have a shared parking lot out front. I'll definitely be back for the Island Matcha, but not to get work done!

The doors were still open and we were able to order on their self checkout pad. It was easy and convenient and we were out the door in a few minutes. Love that they had a Goodbye song when it was time to close that's was so smart and a fun touch. We had their cookies and crème one with boba and it was so good! Also had their mango tea and was refreshing and so good. Probably the best boba I've had. Can't wait to try their food next time some of the stuff they had looked good. The inside is a cool hangout spot and cool vibes there and big parking spot as well. The place was clean and the staff were nice and easy going even though we showed up 3 minutes before they closed. Appreciate that.

I've been a customer at Okrumong for the past six years, and I've always enjoyed the quality of…read moretheir bingsu and taiyaki. Unfortunately, my visit on July 25 was a completely different experience. The black sesame bingsu had a strong pepper-like taste, making it unpleasant to eat. On top of that, the taiyaki we ordered didn't arrive until about 30 minutes later, so we no longer had time to enjoy it at the restaurant and had to take it to-go. When we politely brought up the taste of the bingsu with an employee (a young man with glasses and shoulder-length hair), he became defensive, spoke to us rudely, and walked away in the middle of the conversation before we could finish explaining the issue. At that point, we weren't even complaining about the delayed taiyaki. We simply wanted to let them know something seemed wrong with the dessert. We did eventually receive an apology for the delayed taiyaki, but only after we asked about the reason for the delay. The employee explained that he had mixed up our order with another table. I've supported Okrumong for years, which makes this experience especially disappointing. Everyone makes mistakes, and a delayed order or a food quality issue can happen. What really stood out was how the situation was handled. I hope the management takes customer service more seriously, because this visit was far below the standard I've come to expect from Okrumong.
