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

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.

Spanish Latte & Mocha Latte ($6 each)  01-22-2026

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.

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!

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
Ashley M.

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.

Hi there! I love trying new coffee shops and I was wondering if you sift your matcha prior to using a bamboo whisk? :)

Hello Genevieve, thank you for reaching out! We use ceremonial matcha from Uji, Japan. We prepare our hot matcha by precisely measuring, sifting, and using a traditional bamboo whisk to froth the matcha base. For our cold matcha beverages, we use… Read more

Date of Visit: 5/17/2026 Approximate Time: 1:11pm…read more My wife and I stopped by this Matcha shop while we were in the area because of a recommendation from her sister. I'm so glad we came here! We were not sure what drink/item we wanted so we got to sample both flavors of soft serve: Matcha & Hojicha The cashier was very nice and professional as she allowed us to taste test and I made up my mind pretty quickly afterwards. I ordered the Hojicha Soft Serve Float and it was absolutely amazing. The strong smoky flavor of the Hojicha was very pronounced from the soft serve as well as the drink at the bottom. I would definitely be back next time I'm in the South Bay Area. It was THAT good!

If you're into desserts that aren't too sweet, the matcha soft serve here is perfect for you…read more The matcha soft serve itself was creamy and smooth. The matcha flavor was bitter, but in a good way. It was earthy and not too weak which I liked. It was also super aesthetic with the chocolate square which provided a nice and sweet contrast to the bitter matcha. Definitely a high quality dessert. This spot is located inside the Mitsuwa marketplace food court area with parking outside shared with the Del Amo mall. It can get pretty packed in the area. I would get the soft serve here again, but I am a bit skeptical about getting the drinks here. That's because the matcha drinks look super diluted based on the color.
