Inconsistent. The coffee tastes different and sour every time. The staff are too busy talking to work. I wish it was better as it's really conveniently located for me. EDIT I don't know what is going on at this place but the drama is off the charts. Getting messages from one of them accusing me of some weird shit on behalf of Maddie.

mocha, avocado toast, blueberry muffin

A hidden gem right near Del Amo mall. I ordered a café mocha, it was perfectly made and delicious. For food I had the avocado toast, and it was so fresh with a generous portion. Has a lemony kick (the use chili oil), a perfect touch. The place is very clean, warm, and inviting, and the staff is incredibly kind. Can't wait to come back!

First time there, coffee wasn't the best but the blueberry muffin was good. Customer service was okay. Nice place to study.

Copa Vida is located inside of an office building. There is free parking in the structure outside. As soon as you walk into the building, Copa Vida is on the left hand side! The interior of Copa Vida is really cute, & it looks like a great place to study or read. However, I just wasn't impressed with their drinks at all. I ordered an iced honey latte with oat milk & almost couldn't even drink it. I usually get oat milk at other coffee shops, but they must use a different brand here because it was very grainy & almost tasted like rice. The coffee was smooth, but the oat milk flavor was just very off putting. It also isn't a sweet drink, so keep that in mind if that's what you're looking for. My sister ordered the peppermint mocha, a seasonal drink. I thought the portion was very small for the price. It looks even smaller than a tall at starbucks. The peppermint was better than my drink, but it was bitter. If I were to come back, I'd stick to regular milk & avoid oat milk.

This is a really low-key cafe located in a large commercial office building so it's tucked away and not easy to find from the main streets. It's adjacent to a large parking structure. Their menu hosts some typical breakfast sandwiches, burritos and avocado toast. They serve a good assortment of coffees and teas. Overall, decent food and drinks. There was only one barista working while I was here, but she was friendly and fast. The inside is simple and clean with lots of seating. They have good chill music. It's a perfect place to get some work done or a good site for an out-of-office meeting. There's also a nice little courtyard right outside with patio tables/chairs, umbrellas, and some lounge chairs.

Very excited to see Copa Vida in Torrance! No more driving to Pasadena. :-) Coffee drinks are very solid and strong. My go-to are simple.. expresso with oatmilk, or cappuccino. Located inside of the Torrance business building next to Denny's/ across from Norsstroms. There is plenty of garage parking.

The good: There's plenty of parking and plen-tea of tea options! I liked the seasonal options like the yuzu matcha. They had plenty of tea options and tea latte options. I tried the brûlée mint tea and liked the frothy foam. I like the modern interior and trendy outdoor communal space. There are tables and umbrellas. The outside has a mural, bamboo plants, lounge chairs and flowers. I came here to treat myself to a peaceful morning on this rainy June day. They sell cute merchandise that includes travel mugs, ceramic cups, and kettles. The service was great. The worker brought my almond croissant and tea to my table. The bad: The brûlée mint tea latte tasted good but tasted like a London fog with black tea and didn't have mint flavor. The almond croissant was good but the almond paste inside was lacking. Instead, it was oozing with lots of butter (not a bad thing- but was definitely looking for that almond paste!). The interesting: They're located on the first floor of a business building.

my finished iced vanilla latte lol

Lovely place and ambiance! The outdoor area was very pleasant to work in. I just wish they would extend the wifi somehow because I kept getting disconnected outside. Service was nice and friendly. I got the iced vanilla latte which was good and not bad for the price. Overall, a great low-key place that's not too loud and crowded, great to get work done!

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.

It's been three years since my last review so I figured an update is due. STILL my favorite matcha…read morespot and I have tried many around LA and OC. The quality is just amazing and I prefer the matcha profile here compared to other places. Another favorite is their hojicha lattes!! So umami and fresh and nutty. I'm addicted! Dare I say I might like it better than matcha?! Blasphemy right?! No no, that would be insane. I like them equally. Just depends on my mood. Also, I would like to think my review made them change their straws! They're much better now! Love a place that takes feedback seriously!

Yamari is a matcha shop located inside the Mitsuwa food court in Del Amo Mall. There is a new 2nd…read moreYamari location at the Mitsuwa food court in Cypress. Yamari specializes in Uji matcha straight from Kyoto. [Parking]: The parking lot for Mitsuwa can get busy during the weekend, but it is not impossible to find an open spot. [Ordering]: There was no long waiting line and I was able to get my order within 5 minutes after placing an order at the counter. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Iced Matcha Lattes, Strong Uji Matcha Green Tea (sweetened), and Stone Ground Uji Matcha (contains no sugar or milk). They offer small, medium, and large sizes for their drinks. In addition, they also sell hojicha drinks as well as parfaits and soft-serve ice cream. *** Strong Uji matcha green tea (sweetened - small $4.50): The matcha flavor was strong alright. The drink did hit the spot and the sweetness level was about right. Mixed Soft Serve (half matcha and half hojicha - $6.75): Ice cream had a strong matcha flavor, but the texture didn't hit the spot. It would be nicer if the flavor was slightly less dense as this ice cream really made me want to drink more water afterward. The milk chocolate was a nice add-on, but I am not sure if it was really needed. *** I would stick with their drinks and there are better soft-serve matcha ice creams in Los Angeles (e.g. Meccha Matcha in Artesia or Tea Master Matcha Cafe & Green Tea Shop in Little Tokyo).
