Empty BANANA CREAM MATCHA. Deeeelicious.
Lisa W.

I had some time to kill before an appointment so I decided to stop by Amai to get a matcha. I came by around 3pm on a Wednesday and there was plenty of parking available in the small lot. I was greeted when I arrived and there are menus by the cash register. They have a pretty wide selection of drinks and different flavors of matcha but I decided on banana. I usually like to get banana matcha from Da Vien but Amai's is just as good if not better! Maybe I was imagining things but I think I tasted real banana in there. It was perfectly sweetened and creamy without going overboard. There was dried banana on top which I also love. I used their restroom which they have one of in the back of the cafe. It's clean and well maintained. I will definitely be back to try the mango matcha next time.

Another shop with flavor options. I'm really one to enjoy flavorful fancy drinks but dang a drink here can cost up to $8. Most recently I got the mango sticky matcha and it's good marine need more of their mango sticky rice because once mixed the flavor is muted. I tried the turon and it's just alright. Felt like it didn't showcase the turon flavor. The Amari signature is a classic you can't go wrong and the Vietnamese coffees. They have additions you can add such as boba and I want to say I got it before and the texture was good but I may have to try again.

TURON BANANA and PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE
Sarai C.

Found this spot on my google search when I was in the area the reviews looked great. But unfortunately was kind of disappointed in my coffee I ordered the Turon banana which the coffee itself was great but had no taste of banana and my friend ordered the pumpkin spice latte which also had no pumpkin flavor...was hard to distinguish which drink was ours....the place itself was really nice and love the open windows which give it that natural lighting. The service was also okay not the usual smiling and welcoming but just very casual. Would not come back just because I couldn't identify neither of the drinks nor my friend. But if you are the type to love coffee by itself this is definitely the place for you. Latte wise not so much :(

Super cute coffee shop! The service was AMAZING the two girls working were super friendly and very efficient. I got the Vietnamese coffee which was really good I feel like the powder gives it a bit of a different taste but a good taste! I also got a bagel and it was very tasty. Parking lot is big but some signs say 20 mins for certain spots. They offer wifi so I would recommend this place for work or study. They definitely had a good amount of regulars which made me realize I had made a good choice by coming here. They definitely remember the regulars which I think it goes a long way. This is a one off but while I was there somehow it was a small hiccup and someone got the wrong drink ( a genuine accident) when they realized they felt so bad but one of the girls ran to get the customer and made sure she got the right drink the girls were so apologetic. The customer was also very understanding. I thought that was great to witness! I would deff come back here!

I had heard lots of great things about this coffee shop so I was very excited to try it out. They share a small parking lot with the other businesses nearby. I didn't have any issue finding parking Sunday morning. The shop itself is popular and had plenty of customers. The staff was young and friendly. I shared that I have an allergy and they were able to offer me reccomendations and substitutions to their most popular drinks. Espresso was solid and the sweetness level was perfection! The inside is spacious and bright. Good to hang around for a bit and enjoy your drink.

My favorite go to place for MATCHA EINSPANNER. They use ceremonial grade matcha and you can taste it. The topping is delicious. The quality and time and effort put into the drinks is there. The pastries are decent too. They are able to warm them. Theyre usually not busy when I come so they tend to make the drinks fast. There's some tables you can hang out and work too as there is also wifi. Not a ton of sitting room but very good vibes. Parking can be tight as there's only a tiny lot but near a dry cleaners, subway and a couple other shops.

MANGO STICKY MATCHA
Kreng K.

I was in the area and was looking for a place to study/work. This popped up, looked at their menu, and got intrigued with their Mango Sticky Matcha and croissants. I got there close to 6pm and everyone was so nice. The lady that took my order was friendly and welcoming. I got their Mango Sticky Matcha. It was pretty interesting. Loved that it has a rich matcha flavor and mango sticky flavor didn't overpower the drink. If anything, it complimented well with the matcha. I love it and would absolutely order it again. Unfortunately, they didn't have any pastries left other than a couple bagels. I wanted to try their croissants but maybe next time when I'm in the area again. The place is super clean and organized. They have a wifi, an outlet, a couple tables for single or multiple customers as well as comfy couches. The restroom was also clean and smells great. Highly recommend this place. Not only was I able to complete so many tasks but was also able to just relax. Loved the vibe here!

I found a new to me boba spot, and I'm already looking forward to coming back! One thing that immediately caught my attention was that they offer grass jelly as a topping, one of my favorites. I ordered their summer special, the HK Matcha Latte, made with matcha, milk, brown sugar, and of course grass jelly. It was smooth, refreshing, and the perfect drink for a warm day. My husband customized his own fruit-infused tea with lychee jelly and salted cold foam, and he really enjoyed his combination as well. The shop has a handful of small tables and seats, and we got to relax and enjoy our drinks. Keep in mind that the tables are on the smaller side. If you're planning to work or study there, you'll probably only have enough room for a laptop and not much else. Overall, it's a great addition to our boba rotation.

AMAI SIGNATURE
Allison W.

Cute little coffee shop with minimal seating. The signature Amai brown sugar latte is actually incredibly delicious and really is worth it. The matcha on the other hand is to be desired. It's alright & better with flavor but sometimes the flavor can be overpowering or sweet.

I was in the area and wanted some matcha. It was super early in the morning and busy. It was good but not to sweet and balance. Would like try other option when I'm steam again. Was tempted to try their pastries also

Menu

I stopped by here today to get a couple drinks! Small parking lot out front. Pretty deep space inside, they have tables inside. They have soooo many delicious drinks on their menu, both espresso and matcha drinks. Lots of unique and fun flavors. They have pastries too but by the time I came in the afternoon there wasn't much left. I got the mango sticky rice matcha for my sister with the cream top, and I got the earl grey matcha for myself with almond milk. I stole a sip of her drink and it was incredible!! Not overly sweet either. My drink was great too, though the earl grey was subtle, I could hardly taste the flavor of it. But it was still a tasty and good quality matcha! Next time I'll get the mango for myself or try their peach matcha - sounds so good!!

MANGO STICKY MATCHA,  BLUEBERRY MATCHA, GALAXY LEMONADE
Megan T.

just a side note the parking is very limited - I usually walk over after parking in the residential area closeby. Mango Sticky rice Matcha: this was so delicious, perfect amount of sweet to balance out the earthy matcha Blueberry matcha: in my opinion, very fruit-blueberry instead of artificial - so not as sweet as I was expecting. still good, but I preferred the mango one over this one. galaxy lemonade: my mom ordered this one, ahe just wanted something refreshing to drink since it was 3pm, but this was very.. tart. I think she'll look for the strawberry lemonade for next time - but it was a very pretty drink! I don't live in Torrance anymore but I'll return when I'm back in town :)

EARL GREY MATCHA PRINCESS PEACH MATCHA
Mingfei C.

We got the earl grey matcha and the seasonal princess peach matcha, both very delicious! Creamy, refreshing, and the perfect sweetness, these drinks individually balanced their earl grey/peach and matcha flavors to perfection. Staff was friendly, place was a little messy but to be expected due to the amount of business. Seating was not difficult to find, and the parking lot was full so we parked on a nearby residential street. Side note: they had a bunch of gems that we could stick onto the cups, not sure if this is an everyday or seasonal offering but it was such a thoughtful touch!

Do they sell whole beans?

Yes, Amai Tea & Coffee does sell whole beans. I was there in July and they had a Summer Solstice limited edition seasonal flavor and also a Mexico flavor.

COME HERE IF YOU LOVE SPECIALTY COFFEE…read more DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU LOOK FOR: PRETTY LOOKING/LAYERED SUGAR BOMB DRINKS (nothing wrong with that though! Just wanting to help with expectations if you've never been here.) This place serves purely traditional coffee. I'm new to living in this area in LA (I come from Orange County) and have been trying to visit the coffee shops out here. So far, this is THE BEST from what I've tried so far in terms of specialty coffee. (I don't have a long list that I've visited yet) It's quite refreshing actually, to see a coffee shop that's PURELY specialty coffee. No frills or thrills, just traditional basics done well. Decor is great. I tried the emerald series espresso as a flat white (two of them) which is marketed as rare and exotic. I didn't want to read much too much into it at the moment. I was just wanting my caffeine fix. Both together came out to around $17 (oof!) They at least handed us 2 oz samples of coffee. Presentation of the drinks were done well. You can tell that they really care about the craft because we were waiting unnecessarily long on a slow day. I over heard a 'How did that pull?' while waiting. I appreciate the care.

Drove by here a bunch of times and always had on my list to try. Today was finally the day, as I…read morewas going to try a different coffee shop, but they had no parking. I was able to nab a spot almost out front for this shop. The workers are nice. Although, the issue I had was the guy making the drinks tried to give my pastry to another customer. Also, there was a female customer he knew that would not stop talking to him. She seemed to be flirting with him and distracting him. Like gurrrrrl, stop you are gonna make him mess up my order and wasting time because he's going slower to talk to you. He already seemed to be behind on orders.

Such a nice cafe. The vibe is positive and upbeat but not loud. Many people come here to study and…read moredo their work. The food is always on point. We have tried the Dutch Baby, the skillet with cheese and mushrooms and sunny side eggs on the top and a tortilla on the bottom and it was delicious! My kids liked the pasta and the pizza was a fan favorite as well. Their iced tiramisu latte half sweet is a must. All the drinks we've gotten we now do half sweet. Even the refreshers. We don't like too sweet drinks. So half sweet is perfect for me. My daughter and I have been here a few times and have spoken to the owner and he's so nice and you can tell he really cares about the ingredients and how items are prepared and presented. Every food item is presented beautifully. The skillet in a cute little skillet with modern utensils, the Dutch Baby with yogurt and maple syrup and with vibrant berries. K I'm blabbing. Come here. Grab a coffee and a treat and while you wait take a cute picture that they print out B&W on paper that you can add to the wall or take with you. Such a cute addition.

I tried one of their cookies, and it was pretty delicious! They even warmed it up for me. I'd love to come back and try some more things on the menu. Definitely worth checking out!
