Iced turon latte was the complete opposite however. I could not tell where the coffee started and the sugar ended. It was a sweet milky drink with a bitter edge that very closely resembles what you might get from Starbucks. The cherry on top--it was $9.38. That's an absurd price tag for a 16oz swill. I was also taxed. My understanding is cold to-go drinks are not taxed in CA. This was a cold, to-go order. Maybe a POS error, maybe local laws I don't know but please double check. I'm never taxed at sbx for a similar order.

One of my new favorite coffee shops has been unlocked! Nook is affiliated with Jetty coffee and I…read moreLOVE Jetty Coffee in LA - so naturally I had to give this place a try. They have multiple locations across LA. This one is located within the cutest plaza area called The Enclave. There's no seating in the coffee shop so you can grab your coffee and enjoy a beautiful patio area outside. I went with one of their signature coffees - Honey Oat Latte. It had the perfect balance of coffee flavor and natural sweetness from the honey. I really appreciate how they mix your latte all together before pouring over ice. It's a distinct difference from other coffee shops that I like because It avoids the coffee being too milky. The line can get long but they work pretty quickly and all the staff are great and informed.

The shop itself is super busy with people doing work in laptops or just hanging out. There's always plenty of seating outside regardless. They were sold out of the barley popping boba on Friday and over the weekend. We've come by a few times and the matcha and hojicha drinks were watered down. This time I opted for the Pink Berry and Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea. The pink berry is depicted as a yogurt strawberry puree drink. I got a drink that was mostly a smoothie of ice with strawberry flavor. The consistency was more liquidy and lacked any yogurt creaminess. Phoenix oolong milk tea was more on the milk tasting side. The tea taste was definitely there, but the milk and tea didn't taste like it blended well together at all. I'm overall mixed about coming here since it is a hit or miss on if the drinks will be watered down or not. Staff is always busy filling orders and it does take some time to get the drinks. IIt's a nice space to work at and hopefully drinks will improve.

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!

The coffee shop recently had a collaboration with online influencer POV Husband for the POV Matcha pop-up in August 2026 and there was a long waiting line wrapped around the block. I came here on a casual Saturday afternoon and there was a minimal wait. [Parking]: Easy and free strip mall parking. [Atmosphere]: There are one long table, one bar table, and bench seating with about 20+ seats inside the shop. There are two small outdoor tables just outside of the shop. [Menu]: According to one of the posted metal plaques, some of the signature drinks are Chrome Latte or Matcha, Cream Top, Cold Brew Latte, Banana Cream Latte (Espresso or Matcha), Coconut Matcha, and Hojicha Cream Top. *** Banana Cream Matcha (matcha + milk + agave + banana cream + cinnamon - $7.25): Excellent banana cream as it had a really strong flavor. While the matcha portion was watery, the matcha flavor remained strong. Once the entire drink was stirred, the drink tasted a bit more balanced. *** A solid matcha shop in the South Bay, but their cream is quite sweet and I would get it at 75% sweetness instead.

I've enjoyed the Vienna Matcha here in the past, but unfortunately my last two visits have been…read moredisappointing. Previously, the drink matched the menu photos, with the milk and matcha visibly layered and a generous cream topping. The last two times, however, the matcha and milk were already completely mixed together, there was barely any cream on top, and the drink tasted different from what I've had before. I'm not sure if this is an issue with certain baristas or overall consistency, but I do think management should make sure drinks are being prepared accurately and match what is shown on the menu. I also recommend checking your drink before leaving. Mine was partially covered by the cup holder, so I didn't notice the difference until after I had already left. I really enjoyed the Vienna Matcha before, so I hope they improve the consistency.

There were only a few tables and benches inside a somewhat L-shaped shop with a very narrow hall and one all gender restroom available. To be honest, I don't know what the hype was about. I ordered a golden hour expresso tonic and the frozen matcha. Both were good, but nothing that was inherently unique from other coffeeshops. My matcha was smoothly blended but definitely more on the milky side. My husband's tonic was refreshing and slightly citrusy, but not different than tonics we've tried at other shops. Due to the small space and random amounts of people standing around and just chatting and hanging inside the shop, I wouldn't come again unless it's a quick grab and go. Even then, not sure if it's worth the line or wait, but I guess some people seem to really like this place.

The parking is a bit off putting as there are limited spaces and the lot itself is small. I was almost hit by a larger car suddenly pulling out of their spot, so be careful! My sister got a small Strawberry Vanilla Latte ($~7, looks about 16 oz) and service was efficient. I had a few sips of her drink, and it instantly made me think of Nesquik strawberry milk mixed with espresso. I thought the sweetness was at a good level, but I could see it being borderline too sweet if you have a whole drink to yourself. I really liked the unexpected nostalgia factor, and the drink itself was very pretty. The interior is intricately decorated, with little signs and knick knacks everywhere you look. My favorite part was the community resource wall! It was completely filled with flyers (some bilingual) and there was a shelf with stacks of business cards from professionals of all industries. I also spotted a "Know your rights" poster on one of the counters. In a time where new coffee shops seem to be popping up every other day, it's heartwarming to see one that is actively giving back to the community. There's abundant seating and this could be a cozy place to hang out with a friend. TikTok: @qtrinthejukebox Instagram: @qtrinthejukebox

La Cha x The Bowl currently has a second location in Hawthorne in addition to this flagship location in Torrance. The shop is known for its viral cracking chocolate shell boba cup. [Parking]: Easy parking within the plaza. [Atmosphere]: A very casual setup for this tea shop and customers can place their orders via one of two kiosks. One thing to note is that the tea shop plays fairly loud background music so it is hard to have a conversation unless you are sitting right next to the person you are talking to. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Strawberry Matcha W/ Milk Foam, Strawberry Taro Milk Tea, and Caramel Cheese Latte. Other featured items include Popcorn Chicken, Biscoff Shake, and Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. *** Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea (100% sweetness - $6.20): The drink was slightly too sweet for me, but the overall flavor was there. Chicken Teriyaki Bowl (Charbroiled Chicken Teriyaki + comes with white rice, chopped lettuce, macaroni salad and grilled fresh pineapple - $13.90): The bowl was surprisingly better than I had expected. The bowl had a slice of grilled pineapple and decent macaroni salad. I was actually able to split the bowl into two smaller meal portions. It was certainly a lot better than the teriyaki bowl from Flame Broiler. *** A solid 3.5-star for the drink and rice bowl. I personally slightly prefer their rice bowl over their drinks and overall this is a nice neighborhood tea shop to grab a quick meal or get a-okay drinks as there aren't too many tea shop options in this part of Torrance (closer to the city of Carson).

I especially love their matcha selection they offer so many unique flavors to choose from. On my most recent visit, they were unfortunately out of the banana cream matcha even though it was still listed on the menu .

The space itself is open and inviting, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. They also offer food, which I haven't tried yet, but I've heard great things especially about their waffle dessert that everyone seems to love. Definitely planning to try that next time!

I went to Hiccups planning to get an Matcha, but somehow ended up leaving with a Fruity Booty…read more The switch happened because I was talking to the cashier. I told him I wanted to mix matcha with thai, and he was honest enough to tell me that it probably wouldn't taste the way I was expecting because they use powder, and it doesn't always blend well. I appreciated him so much for that because if I had spent money on a nasty drink, I would've been upset. So my backup plan became the Fruity Booty, and it was SO good. I don't remember everything that was in it, but I know it had mango and strawberries. The only downside was that it melted super fast. By the time we got back to the car, there was already juice collecting at the bottom of the cup. Even with that, it was delicious. I ended up finishing the whole thing, which I definitely wasn't expecting. It was so hot outside, and it ended up being the perfect refreshing drink.
