    Farmers Market Toast. This is a sad representation of the picture that is on the menu.
    Josh D.

    Looks nothing like the picture. Very disappointed. Supposed to be farmers market toast. Also did not get my drink I payed for. Won't be coming back

    While looking for a new coffee spot, Hubby came across Beach Cities Cafe and Confections in Redondo Beach. So we went for it! We got there around 8:30a and it said they open at 8a. But when we got there, no one was there so we were confused. Then we saw a lady run from across the street and opened up shop. She apologized but that was weird and you're 30mins late homegirl. When we entered, I felt it to be a bit closterphobic. It felt cluttered and stuff everywhere. I got my usual iced vanilla latte and a pumpkin muffin, Hubby just got an iced vanilla latte as well. There was only seating outside so that's where we sat. Our order came out and my muffin was super stale and it did not taste fresh at all. My iced vanilla latte was missing the vanilla. Hubby had to go and ask the lady to add the vanilla. This place was pretty disappointing and not at all what I expected. I will not be coming back.

    Excellent food and friendly staff! Very dog friendly, too! Highly recommend the avocado toast and egg salad toast.

    Yum! Breakfast or 3pm snack treats! #makesmewander

    This is a little hidden gem in the neighborhood of north Redondo. Whether I want a coffee break, a quick meal, or sweet treats, this is the place. Believe me I have tried all of them and it is fantastic. I came in also to buy some stocking stuffers for the holidays and for my family. My niece and my daughter already have a date planned that when they get their braces off, they are coming in here to get caramel apples. They do have tables but there are also benches in the park right behind it if you want to eat there. #makesmewander

    Great service from the ladies working they were very sweet. The cafe is located in this cute little neighborhood. Dead smack in the middle of a residential area. It was definitely another small cafe vibe here. Convenient parking a few other restaurants next to it. The avocado toast I had was pretty good. A little to much olive oil for my liking nevertheless it was still tasty. The Macchiato wasn't hot enough. The best thing order was the Supreme Toast that was very flavorful.

    This cafe seems to be in the middle of a residential area, not really any other businesses around except a Brazilian place. Loved this little gem! Met up with some friends in the neighborhood close by and would def come back! Its quiet, and they have a lot of drink/food options for breakfast/lunch. Delicious chocolate croissant and avo toasts.

    'TUNA' sandwich 2lwith extra onion... its white onions, no red as the menu says, and the very small amount on that is terrible.

    Walking by the Cafe today saw they reopened as a new concept... I literally live about four houses away from here so I thought hey why not give them a shot today and see what it's like. Inside I like the look of the place... though they do use a lot of other companies stuff such as Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory over making their own. Not necessarily a bad thing, but when it comes to local mom and pop places like this I really enjoy them more when it's their own creations. Now the food. Ordered the turkey croissant sandwich and the tuna sandwich (this one admittedly asked for no lettuce or tomatoes, extra onion - which the menu lists as red onion) The verdict: very disappointing. The good: the turkey avocado croissant was tasty (whatever seasoning they added to the avocado was delicious) but I'm not joking there was literally three slices of turkey deli meat on this sandwich... for $9 I wasn't impressed (mind you there are no sides included ) The terrible: the tuna salad sandwich. Pictures are included. Again full transparency I ordered it without the lettuce and tomatoes. But the very very small amount of tuna they placed in between two enormous pieces of bread, it was an epic fail. Taking a bite i had 90% bread and nothing else. It was so bad my husband didn't even eat it and it went into the trash. I should have just walked back to say something but the more i thought about doing that, the more annoyed at how terrible the sandwich was. I did leave them feedback thru their Square POS email receipt.. having used that in my own business I know they get alerts right away. I gave it a few hours to see if they'd reply but nothing so I'm leaving this review instead.

    Southwest Chicken Salad Bowl and Protein Banana Smoothie
    Paul C.

    Ordered through Grubhub. Well packed. Got a Southwest Chicken bowl and Protein Banana smoothie. Chicken was great and nice balsamic dressing. Good portion lunch salad. Smoothie was awesome, tasted all of the flavors together and separate. Yum!

    Bacon egg and hash brown burrito.  Small and bland for $9.
    Raul V.

    Ordered a green kale smoothie for the wife. She said it was good. I ordered a breakfast burrito posted on the outside sign. It was about $9. Pretty small and bland for $9. No cheese. No salsa. I have tried this place a couple times and it seems overpriced for what you get compared to other places in the area.

    Super yummy Farmers Market Toast!!!

I definitely will be back soon to try their food. The parking is located in the back, otherwise there is street parking on Artesia and side streets. There's also a gift shop inside with a lot of different merchandise that I thought was cute too!

I had to stop myself from sipping it completely on my walk back to the car. I was a little concerned that this drink might be too sweet, but I was glad when I tasted it, and the brown sugar was not super overpowering. That is one thing I love about the coffee shops in Gardena is that they do not overly sweeten their drinks, even when it has something like brown sugar in it. I love that this place not only had seating inside, but it had a very good outside seating area. There was women chatting up while their kids were running around so it made it very inviting to come and relax with your family. Will definitely be back again maybe not on a Sunday this time where everybody is out and about.

I tried their tot cream latte & their "feels like home", both iced. If you order for enjoying in shop, they give you a cute cup with a saucer & spoon. They don't put that much ice which I appreciate. The coffee is still cold! The tot cream latte is on the sweeter side, but it is extremely good. I like the flavor of the coffee, although the sweetness kind of takes away from the coffee shining through. It's good for people that like coffee but not the acidic taste from it. The feels like home is strong. That bean? Phew. Got muscles, it's strong. Very subtle sweetness. Beautiful bean flavor. Cream top is yummy. I would def order again. I appreciate them not having burnt or acidic/sour tasting espresso. That's been a common trend in coffee shops as of late D: Ambiance is nice, it's small inside & no AC so they have a fan with the door cracked open wide but still gets stuffy inside. I believe they do have WiFi don't quote me, you'll have to fact check that one. But there were people there on their laptops so I wanna assume yes.. Service was quick and standard amongst the baristas. Parking in the plaza is small otherwise there is an underground garage. There was a notice of filming or photography sign I didn't bother reading and forgot to take a picture of but it's on the glass when you go up to order.
