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

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.

I did like that besides drinks they have a good menu for food. It was honestly kind of hard to decide what to get. Originally, I had ordered the barbecue chicken bowl, but my man asked me to change it to the Poké bowl because my son loves poke. I did change that and the presentation on that was super cute. I opened it up just to take a picture. I didn't realize there was no rice on here, but that's because it's a poke salad not bowl so that was my mistake. I definitely feel like I needed rice with this which you can order on the side. The poke was pretty good. But I feel like it was kind of expensive for what it is. Maybe if it was $15 versus 17. I could definitely get a Poké bowl with way more toppings for about $17. But the poking itself was tasty. If you're looking for a healthier alternative, this is good. Since it is an actual poke salad I'll still rated a 4.5 out of five. It also came with a scoop of Mac salad, which was a little bit on the sweeter side. We got three drinks. My son got the strawberries smoothie which he didn't even get to drink until we got home since he fell asleep. My man got a shake of some sort which he said was really good. I got the Biscoff shake. But I did add Boba to it. We left on the road and I drink that, but it was missing my Boba which the sticker also showed that it had. I think most people wouldn't add Boba to a shake so they forgot. We were already on the freeway so I had called to ask for a refund for that. They were very helpful and able to refund me that in a little bit more. I appreciate that since we came from out of town and we were exhausted and already stuck in traffic. The Biscoff shake itself was actually really delicious, but yes, I was just missing that Boba. The service was great, and the fact that they did still help me out after we left, I appreciate that very much so this is a spot I would return to you in the future when I'm up in the area.

Perfect for any introverts who like an environment that is peaceful and cozy to sit around. There is not much decoration to the place, looks like some things are unpacked near the bathroom area. The one guy working at the counter works very hard. I appreciate his work of getting the food perfectly and taking orders. The chef also did an amazing job. Not sure if it's the same guy working at the counter or if it's a different person but they are both amazing people who make the atmosphere comfortable! The meal was memorable, loved the beef especially. The beef was so tender and soft and had a flavor like no other bulgogi I have ever tasted.

However, my main complaint was that the sushi burrito had too much sauce in it.
