    Mocha
    Anjanette J.

    I'm a sucker for a good mocha -- I will literally drive across town for one So when I say the mocha at Bada Coffee exceeded my expectations... I mean it really exceeded them. Smooth, rich, perfectly balanced -- not too sweet, not too bitter -- just chef's kiss from the first sip to the last. If you're a mocha lover like me, this spot is 100% worth the trip. I've officially added it to my "must-return" list

    maple cardomom iced latte
    Gabby P.

    I visited and tried their seasonal drink, the cardamom maple latte. It was good, and I think I like the taste of their blend. However the cardamom flavor was very strong so I couldn't taste it too well I happen to enjoy strong flavors like cardamom so I thought it was tasty! Their drinks don't run too sweet. Not much seating inside but it's clean and cutely decorated. Overall I liked it and would go back again if I'm in the area!

    Spanish latte and matcha cloud
    Ginna S.

    I have passed by this coffee shop quite a few times and finally had the chance to stop by. The parking was easy and the indoor aesthetic minimalist in a positive way. It isn't the largest coffee shop I've been to but there is outdoor seating by the fountain and a few places indoors as well. I could see how this shop could get super busy because it's located right next to a high school. I was warmly welcomed into the shop and my order was taken promptly. Upon recommendation by the barista, I ordered an iced Spanish latte and a Matcha cloud to enjoy. The Spanish Latte had a slight sweet touch and the coffee was not overpowered. The Matcha came with a crème top that complimented the matcha as well. Both drinks were well balanced and not overly sweet. Being a person who likes to frequent coffee shops, my overall experience in regard to service and ambiance are positive. It was also interesting to see a robot pull my shot instead of a person (yes, really). The quality of the drinks themselves were also good. If I lived closer, this local coffee shop would be one I'd be a regular at.

    Forgot to take picture of my coffee but found this spot when I was around Redondo and yelped. I usually try an iced oat latte to a new place I go to but I saw a Spanish latte and tried it. I am impressed. I've had my fav Spanish latte when I used to live in Boston and nowhere really has matched it and this place does! I'm impressed! Kudos!

    I finally made it here! I had bookmarked this coffee spot a while back and it slipped my mind. Glad I came in! Bada Coffee is in the Plaza Mayor Shopping Center, off PCH. This space used to be a Starbucks but it has nicely been transformed into a modern sleek coffee shop. I placed my order and waited for my drinks. I noticed there was a robotic arm busy working! How interesting! It's called a Wingman Cobot... this one is Tom. He pulls shots. You can watch him from start to finish. Then the barista takes the shot to assemble your coffee beverage. My lattes looked lovely with the nice latte art. I enjoyed my Spanish Latte with condensed milk, roasted hazelnut, espresso, and cinnamon! It was a tad bit sweet, so I had hubby add more coffee to it when I got home. You can get tea, matcha (also tea, I know), and lemonade here. What I find interesting is that they only make & sell one cup size of hot coffee. They sell cookies and pastries but none have a price on them. It would be nice to know even though it seems to be the norm at a lot of smaller coffee shops! There are a few seating options inside as well as the communal patio outside near the fountain. I would definitely consider a return visit! I'd like to try the bada fog or hojicha.

    Communal table

    Small vibey coffee shop! My first time going I was pleasantly surprised because the quality of the drinks were GREAT for a decently normal price! Especially for a good FLAVORED (I got mango) matcha drink I was very happy. I was hesitant to try the mango matcha at first but it was soooooooo good I totally would recommend and will be getting it again. They have a few seats. Communal table (no outlets though), a small counter by the window next to an outlet, and lots of outdoor seating in the courtyard. Plenty of parking in the lot and a bathroom for customers. Great wifi and i got some work done on my laptop here! It was so fun and delicious! They opened up last summer and im so excited to see them grow. I hope they expand the indoor seating. Can't wait to come back :)

    Good coffee, nice location. Bada Coffee replaced Starbucks that used to be at the corner. It's located in a plaza with plenty of parking and next to South High School. There's seatings inside which is nice for students to study after school. I ordered iced mocha ($6). It was pretty good. They put a lot of ice in my opinion for like 12-16oz cup. They sell lots of delicious looking pastries. Was getting big lunch so I skipped trying them out. They have robotic arm that makes the espresso! I would come back again. It has modern, nice interior which is welcoming. My dentist place is in the same plaza so convenient to stop by afterwards.

    Came here to grab some matcha before heading to the beach! There's lots of parking in the plaza mayor. There's plenty of seating inside and outside by the beautiful fountain. The staff was friendly and kind. They had a cool robotic arm that makes coffee or matcha? Wish I got to see that in action looked so cool! I ordered a matcha latte w oat milk, i know very basic but the heart wants what the heart wants! The matcha was so good! Perfectly umami and nutty and not too sweet :) I will be back again for sure to try their other drinks.

    Mint matcha
    Rosanne B.

    I had a mint matcha which was delicious. My friend had a cappuccino which gave us the chance to observe the robotic arm that makes the espresso shots. Cool or terrifying? At least they had humans finishing the drinks. I prefer human interaction at my coffee shop . Ample parking in the plaza parking lot, and nice outdoor seating around a pretty fountain. The sell a few baked goods options, but are focused on coffee and matcha.

    Spanish latte
    Zeeshan Q.

    Really enjoyed the Spanish latte. Great blend of nutty and cinnamon flavor and goes well with the condensed milk. The espresso also adds a great kick with the caffeine and bitterness. They have a robot making some of the drinks which is definitely entertaining to some people. Definitely a good local coffee shop to support in the area!

    Spanish latte

    I was aware of this coffee spot for a while now. It was in the midst of multiple hot coffee shops opening within the city of Torrance. I finally got around to trying them out. I came on a Friday around noon, and it was empty. I already looked at the menu prior to arriving and was settled on getting the Spanish latte. I ordered the iced spanish latte wooooooooow!!!! first sip and I was indulged. Lately coffee spots have not been hitting but the spanish lot hit this coffee g spot!!! I savored it for as long as I could honestly. I could taste the coffee and the nuttyness from the hazelnut, it was smooth on the tongue. no bitter coffee taste at all. The ambiance is nice, with a robot working behind the counter with the humans lol. I thought it was funny my drink came without a lid but they have a small station with lids, straws, napkins, etc. right next to the pickup side of the bar station. They have a restroom that requires a key. It seems like a chill place to do work at, it was really quiet. I'll be coming back for that spanish latte soon.

    I found this coffee shop as I was near the area and wanted to try a new place. I must say that it is located in the perfect spot. Right outside was an inviting area to sit near a water fountain with plenty of seating. I was surprised to see a robot barista assisting with making the expresso coffee's. It is quite efficient and entertaining to watch. I will be returning primarily for the coffee! I had a Spanish latte with oat milk. It was absolutely delicious and quite smooth. My husband ordered a cafe Americano and he said it was very rich, dark, smooth and delicious. My daughter ordered a strawberry matcha and she loved it. She said it was the best she ever had. I highly recommend this place if you love coffee. I don't think you will be disappointed.

    Bada Fog. One of their popular drinks. Just sweet enough and like a dessert.
    Toshi I.

    Not bad! Its Bada...lol. I like the change from the franchisey Starbucks to this more modern café take and the mood here is more of calmness and simplicity. I enjoyed my Bada Fog drink. It was more like a dessert! Will be back to try more items.

Everybody is stoked to help you have a great experience, whether you're chilling there doing work on your laptop, or stopping by to grab a drink to go. It's love all around, which speaks volumes about the business. Recommended drinks for first timers: Chrome Matcha or the Banana Cream Latte. Unbeatable taste, you won't find anything like it anywhere else in the South Bay. Do yourself a favor and check this place out, you won't find any other place like it.

Definitely one of the better coffee spots I've tried in the area. Would absolutely come back and try more off the menu. Highly recommend this place if you're into specialty coffee or just want a really solid latte.

Today was mother's day and the Enclave was busy with a lot of people. They were busy too but the time I came, the line was not to the outside window as usual and stayed indoors so it was a steady type of busy. I ordered my island matcha and sat to wait with my dog, until I just noticed the people behind me just getting their drinks first, then another, then another.. A family came in and got greeted, that was cute, probably regulars, their orders were taken and promptly made. Nice. But then the next ones also were getting made--huh? Where's mine? I thought they might have had some online orders? I was still sitting patiently in front of the pick up counter because I didn't want to bother the obviously busy lady that's super locked in. I worked in food before too, so sometimes I get that some tickets go in front of others and the steady locked in flow of the line was really cool to observe but this was a little bit too weird since--oh another one got his drink right after ordering. My husband finally regrouped with me inside because we also had ordered from the Fish grill, the order was done from fish grill, but I was still there wondering what happened to my drink from Nook--maybe syrups needed to be refilled? Maybe steeping tea?? Idk but at this point I was getting sad since I just saw another walk away with their drinks after just ordering. I sigh, my husband asks me what's wrong. I show him my phone showing the receipt of when I ordered and he noticed it's been a while and he also saw another walk away who just ordered with a drink in hand already. So he goes up to ask them if the island matcha came out. A guy from the line sees the order number, goes to their ticket tablet and makes my matcha drink in less than 5 seconds (I mean it, they're super quick). My husband beckons me to grab my matcha and I come up silently to grab it and leave with another sigh. Drink tastes great. Though the just making the drink quickly and not acknowledging/apologizing that something went wrong was kind of sad since I already felt disregarded in the first place. As I walked away I heard that my ticket just somehow didn't show up but sigh. I wish someone checked on me if I was waiting on anything. I know it's on me too for not speaking up, but I trusted the process. I thought they didn't forget about me. I was wrong. I burnt my favorite mixing bowl today, we got turned away from my fav restaurant for lunch because they were full and we just happened to be the one behind the last queue that got accepted today. I made yucky bitter matcha today. Went here to make my day better but it added more fuel to the fire. :C Sigh. See you in a while Nook. Me sad. Happy Mother's day to all moms today though.

Now it's time to quench my thirst, and so it was that I would find myself back at Chagee Del Amo. This time I went ahead and did my first ever order using the app. I was a bit scared at first, as I assumed that I would have to physically enter the location that I was nearest, and initially I was worried because my last order using the app was in Fox hills, Culver city.

The cups are beautifully brandished with their artistic designs, giving a fancier feel for a drink. Expect mainly TEA here and don't think it's a coffee spot!!!

Staff was trying to be polite even though they seemed stress about the long line. Super glad the 15% off discount was still given to us!!!

You can actually taste the flavor of the earl grey and their matcha is really good. Together it's just the right amount of sweetness.
