    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.

    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!

    I'm really happy the shop opened back up after the pandemic. Great selection of single origin pour overs and espresso drinks as well as milk alternatives. I also picked up a bag of espresso beans to give a try. They have a large selection of breakfast items, however, today they had limited ingredients. That was knowledgeable about their beans. Parking structure is always full, just park in the adjacent lot and walk over. Bottom Line: I'll be sure to come back more often on my days off!

    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.
