And their blueberry matcha is made perfectly and balanced both flavors. The banana cream matcha was also really tasty and balanced- all the drinks weren't too sweet either and the quality of matcha was definitely there. Near Hermosa beach so make sure you stop by here! Will be coming back forsure for more

I knew…read morethat's what I wanted to order but when I got there, there were other drinks that sounded really good. However, I just stuck with my original order. Service is good. I was greeted and my drink came out fast. The Matcha Einspanner was ok. If I do come back, I will definitely be trying a different drink.

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.

Probably the greatest coffee shop addition in the South Bay area! I'm always stopping by for myself…read moreor the office bc it's truly our fave. I've tried their banana matcha (top tier), strawberry matcha (has real strawberry bits ), coconut matcha, ube matcha (seasonal), biscoff latte (off menu). All so very good! They also have many pastry options to complement your drink. All the workers are nice and are always hustlin to get the drinks out with a quickness since the line tends to be long during peak hours. Unfortunately no online ordering still due to said long line. Aesthetically pleasing and love their music choices. A definite must in Torrance!

Small parking lot in a plaza, smaller cafe. The downside is if it gets busy, it can get quite…read morecrowded. However, service is usually pretty quick. There's seating areas along the front windows and along the wall, some seating outside, and some seating in the middle. And ofc the furniture reflecting the name, chrome. I find that it difficult to find a banana cream top that tastes like banana. But I was impressed by how good it was! I was telling my partner that it's a pretty popular spot and he didn't understand until he tried the banana cream top matcha loooool. I'd def come back just for the banana cream top matcha! Lol

a cute coffee shop i found on accident!!…read more there's a lot of parking available in the plaza and the coffee shop was so cute! when i went, there was decent amount of seating :") got the blue's clues and tot cream latte per the owner's recs. both phenomenal dare i say~ the blue's clues was sooo yummy. didn't think that blueberry and peppermint would go so well! would def want to come back and try other drinks on their menu!

Oh Tot! How I think of tater tots, but this is not that kind of tot!…read more Anywho, coffee review #727362728 I came in close to an hour of closing and they got a little busy after I ordered. 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.

Bada Coffee is an independent coffee shop located in Torrance, at the Plaza Mayor Shopping Center…read more It combines Korean Café' looks and taste and it even has a robot to make your coffee, but have no fear, there are people there to help out. The place is ever so cute. It is spotless. The service is great. Even the robot is adorable. We love their Mango mango and all of their lattes are great. Their espresso is perfect. I wish it was open a bit later. We often end up there near closing. But it is one of our favorite coffee shops in the South Bay. It is fun, the prices are fair and again, they have a robot. They close at 6 pm so get there. Please stay open until 7, we will come. The attention to detail in every cup is consistent and amazing. You will love it.

Super cute coffee shop! The service was AMAZING the two…read moregirls 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!

Another shop with flavor options. I'm really one to enjoy flavorful fancy drinks but dang a drink…read morehere 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.

Went for the first time today and it was great…read more I got the French Toast Latte with bananarama syrup added to it; suggested by Emily, who was super helpful and lovely btw. It was bomb and tasted slightly buttery. I also got one of the bagels. They make the bagels in house and you can tell. Plus they stack the toppings and don't short anything, which is nice. The cafe is quiet with decent seating and super chill. Thank-you again to Emily for the great service [: I'll be back.

Took 26 minutes for grilled cheese when relatively unbusy and they also forgot one of our coffee drinks (it was just 3 of us).

The shop is very clean, open and had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Situated in a large lot with plenty of shopping around, this place was bustling at night and perfectly chill in the morning. I ordered a matcha latte and ham and cheese croissant. The croissant was perfectly flakey, soft on the inside and plenty of filling, the matcha was delicious, and probably one of my favorites I've had in SoCal. If I'm ever in the area this will be a spot I definitely come back so I can try other drinks on the menu!

This is one of those bakeries where you walk in and want one of everything…read more I tried the almond brioche along with a couple shots of espresso. Friends ordered a few other things as well, and overall everything was super good. What stood out most was the texture. Everything tasted moist and well made without feeling like it was trying too hard to be "gluten-free." I'm not personally gluten sensitive, though a couple friends I was with are, and honestly I wouldn't have known it was gluten-free based on the quality and taste alone. The drinks were solid too and paired well with everything we ordered. The whole place has a calm neighborhood bakery feel to it, and you can tell it's a spot locals come back to often.

Location: (Score: 8) Is Good Service: (Score: 9) We were welcomed upon arrival, but the only problem was that when we sat down, there was a plate left by someone else right next to us--which made us wonder how long it had been sitting there. Food: (Score: 10) Chicken Pesto Sandwich. We ordered two pesto chicken sandwiches, and they were good. Main Course: N/A Drinks: (Score: 5 ) My wife ordered a hot Tiramisu Cream Latte; the flavor and presentation were fine, BUT... it was cold. She asked the staff to exchange it; it took them 10 minutes to bring it back, and the worst part was that they handed her a cold coffee when it was supposed to be hot. I ordered a hot Spanish Latte; my coffee was hot and well-presented. Another important point: we ordered a pastry to have with our coffee, but they didn't bring it out until after the meal--haha.
