Really nice cozy workspace and I love the quality of the matcha. We tried the strawberry matcha and maple earl grey matcha. Both were exceptional. I'm not a fan of sugary tasting drinks and these did not disappoint, they're clearly made with care and use real ingredients. The pastries are also really yummy. read more

first time going? I ended up getting their French toast latte and their 4 signature flight drinks! and oh my let mee tell you? best drinks ever especially their matcha ! I did also enjoy their cold brew and it's weird because im usually picky haha ! try out their peaches cream cold foam soda too! I thought it was very fizzy and creamy loved it very much :) Everyone was super nice and very welcoming ! service was beautiful! read more

This coffee shop is super cute and modern, it's very kitsch with all the airport designed things inside. We were greeted when we came in and they have a loyalty program , which I think is great. I had the first flight matcha and it was excellent perfectly balanced and creamy and the right amount of sweetness. My companions had a Spanish latte and French toast latte and both report them as being excellent Overall vibe is super chill and they had little bursts of long lines while we were there which was good to see. The staff seemed really happy and most of all efficient , can't wait to come back. read more

S tier matcha!!! Might I say it is one of my top three matcha spots? I got the First Flight matcha, which is their version of a double matcha. It was so rich and the perfect sweetness for me. I mean, look at the color of that matcha. BEAUTIFUL. The size of the cup is good for the price too, and I savored each and every sip. I would also like to note that it's $1 for alternative milk. Service is good, and there is some seating in the front of the cafe and a small lounge/couch area in the back of the cafe by the restroom. There is a parking lot in front of the cafe with ample parking. They also sell some really cute merch that I was tempted to purchase. Overall, I love their travel concept and will definitely be back to taste their other matcha options. read more

Located off the corner of Crenshaw Bl and Sepulveda Bl in Torrance in the little strip mall. Parking is shared with the other businesses in that little strip area so it can get filled up. This place has changed its' name many times I been here when it was Ding Tea then they changed to Lotus which I never tried and now it's First Flight Coffee. The inside hasn't changed as far as layout upon entering is the counter to place your order along the wall are some tables and seating and as you walk down the hallway to the back there are more seating basically a couple tables and a couch. I got the strawberry matcha latte it was not bad. The two gals working were friendly and service was pretty fast . Overall the spot is not bad but keep in mind there is not a lot of seating inside oh there were two small tables outside as well. read more

Halfway through the day and I really needed a caffeine kick just small case of the Sunday Blues. I stopped by right before closing and was assisted immediately. I ordered the French Toast Latte, which comes topped with a delicious cold foam. You can get it hot or iced; I went with iced and swapped the whole milk for oat milk. The cold foam is honestly the best part it's incredibly creamy and almost tastes like cheesecake! The shop has seating in both the front and back, making it a perfect spot for remote work. They also sell super cute apparel, stickers, and keychains. Definitely worth a visit! read more

I visited First Flight, and my first thought was oof parking is tight! Thankfully, a spot opened up. First Flight definitely has heavy foot traffic, and many frequent this cafe. I ordered an Iced Latte, and it was out within 5 minutes. While the area is fairly relaxing to sit in, the latte was a bit on the bitter / acidic side and not too enjoyable. Thankfully, the staff were able to add a splash of oat milk, which made it a touch more tolerable. read more

Pretty busy at 9am on a Sunday. Got a strawberry matcha latte, spinach feta danish, and a blueberry muffin. The strawberry matcha latte tastes more like strawberry milk with a hint of matcha. Overall the flavors are not very strong. Wish it had more strawberry and matcha taste. If you don't like strong flavors or overly sweet drinks then you might like this. Blueberry muffin wasn't too sweet but had few blueberries. Danish was okay. Because it's mixed into the bread, you can't really taste the spinach or feta that much. Overall, might come back for the drinks. read more

I've driven by here several times and finally stopped by on a weekend to give them a try. I got their First Flight Matcha with their matcha foam. I asked for it less sweet and paired with the foam on top, it had a nice balance of bitter/sweet to it. I think I still prefer Yeem's matcha, but this is a great alternative if you're in the area and aren't planning to go into Gardena. Parking can be difficult as spaces are limited and the actual space is pretty tight. There are some chairs inside, but I think this is more of a grab and go place. read more

Was craving a matcha after lunch.. went on yelp & this was the closest location from where we were at! I knew from the photos we had to try it! It's small inside and there was a bit of a wait. They have a couple tables inside & 1 outside. I like that they have menus that you can grab while you're waiting in line. I decided to try the first flight matcha with oat milk & oh my gosh!! From that first sip I knew I had made the right choice trying this spot!!! It was perfectly sweet, creamy & earthy! Next time I would love to try one of the coffees! Cannot wait to go back!! read more

One of the best matchas I've had! I was getting a car wash across the street and saw the sign and I usually go for coffee but today I was feeling a matcha!

I loved the ambience, they have a few tables inside. Looking forward to coming back! read more

I've been on a little mission lately to try different coffee shops around my city, and I'm so glad I ended up at First Flight Coffee. A coworker recommended it to me, saying it felt like my vibe and she was absolutely right. The place is so cute and has such a chill, welcoming atmosphere. Everyone there was super friendly, and I didn't have to wait long at all for my order, which I always appreciate. I ordered the French Toast Latte, and when I tell you it was SO good... I mean it. The perfect balance of sweet and creamy honestly the exact pick-me-up I needed that day. I loved it so much that I even made a TikTok about it, and a few of my friends ended up going and thanking me for putting them on! The only thing I will say is that the price felt a little on the higher side but for the quality and overall experience, I still think it was worth it. If you're looking for a chill spot with great coffee and good vibes, this is definitely the place to check out. read more

Had a delicious matcha latte with matcha cream top here. The cup they serve in was plentiful and gave me enough caffeine for the day. The matcha they used was ceremonial and tasted high quality. Seating is a bit limited inside but there are 3-4 tables and a couch. Parking was no problem. There was no line to order on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Called them to ask if they had any blueberry scones and they confirmed that they did have blueberries scones. I drove into the coffee shop about three minutes later and then they said they just sold out. Super big bummer. Went with the French toast oat milk latte. It was definitely delicious! Decor is cute and on point with their theme of flights. Even their labels are flight-themed. They have a ton of merch. Perfect if you travel lol. Drinks are great. Super small place so this is a place where you would just grab and go. Service is not the greatest just because they are not very friendly. I asked if they had chocolate milk for my son and she said "I guess but you have to wait in that long line again." She could've said "yeah we do, but sadly you'd have to wait in line again" or something like "happy to give you a sample." read more

Super great quality coffee. We also ordered a blueberry side bread and that was sooo good (not photographed because we ate it pretty fast). The workers at the counter are helpful to help decide which drink is what & what I would like more based off my preferences. There's seating right next to the counter or towards the back as well. Modern decor and small tables & chairs to hang out with a friend or do some work on your laptop. read more

This is my second time here and it does not disappoint! I got the Honey Cinnamon Latte with Oat Milk. The rich bold flavor of the coffee was complimented by the zest of the Cinnamon. The honey added a touch of sweetness without being over powering and the Oat milk gave it a slight nuttiness. I really enjoy the coffee here. I do wish they had a larger size because once I finish I want another sip. I also got a Strawberry Matcha Latte. My friend really enjoyed the beautiful herby matcha with the subtle blend of strawberry and whole milk. The small details on these drinks make it a delicious experience. The customer service was patient and helpful. I really enjoyed the entire visit. read more

So grateful for a woman owned, high quality coffee shop opening so close to home. I love that they now offer a flight for their signature drinks! I highly recommend getting a flight if you plan on staying for a bit. Was surprised how tasty the peaches n' cream was! Although, if I were to get it again as a full size, I would adjust the sweetness to about 30%. You can't go wrong with their first flight matcha which is their double matcha. I love their double hojicha as well. I've had a couple pastries and they've been okay. They do offer to heat them up for you. Decent amount of seating and some more in the back by the bathroom. read more

This place deserves more hype!!! The staff are so nice and gave us good recommendations for both coffee and matcha. The matcha was perfect, good balance between flavor and sweetness. My friend (who doesn't like matcha) thought it was good and wasn't grassy like other places. She got the Chai w/ Cream Top and the cream top was delish. I was scared to try this place out because there aren't a lot of good matcha cafes in South Bay compared to OC/Ktown. But I was influenced by their Tik Toks, it looks like the drinks have improved since their opening. The color and quality of the drinks look way better. The drinks are so beautiful and you know it's gonna be a good day when your matcha is that green :D. The cafe has a more cozy feel with seats spread out in the back, front, and outdoor. ig: @cravingswithcat read more

If you're here for the matcha, it's very good and will satisfy your matcha needs in the area. It's super creamy and pleasant to drink. I had to stop myself from gulping it down. The only small critic about the first flight matcha signature is that it's just a touch too sweet for my liking, but that's not going to stop me from ordering it again. It's a smaller place that's decently busy so if you plan on coming here to study it might be a hit or miss. When comparing it to Chrome down the street. They're both good but I'd probably come here for the regular match and would go to chrome for the banana matcha. Both delicious and can't go wrong with either. read more

Came by to try a new matcha spot and glad to say I found my new favorite!! We got the coconut matcha and the earl grey matcha! The Earl Grey matcha blended the flavors so perfectly -- smooth, balanced, and still surprisingly robust. And the coconut matcha had this creamy, almost fluffy texture, and I loved that it wasn't overly sweet like other places. Just clean, smooth flavor... I wanna come back soon to try the other flavors/drinks along with some baked goodies they had We came on a slow day so our drinks came out quick. But while waiting there's a little bench and mirror on the side where you can take pics which I think is such a cute feature to the store! Definitely worth coming by here!! read more

A new-ish cafe in the South Bay and I love it! Their double matcha was soo good the matcha wasn't too sweet so you could actually taste the matcha. I also loved that it wasn't a tiny cup like a lot of new cafes. The strawberry one was refreshing and not too sweet. I would definitely come back for the drinks. We also tried the croissant cookie which was a good savory but sweet treat. The inside has little seating and limited parking but we were still able to get some on a Saturday morning. The line was small and moved fast. Our drinks came out relatively fast too. read more

I live down the street and never came because of the long lines! Today I stopped by for a change of scenery to study and so glad that I gave it a chance! I got a Maple Earl Grey Matcha, which was delicious--sweet but not too sweet. $7.50 which is a little steep but on par with other small business coffee shops in the area. Seating: About 5 tables with 2-3 chairs each. Can easily get full but if you can snatch a table it's a great place to study or hang with a few friends. Noise: At 1 PM they had music on at a low volume and the espresso machines running, so I wouldn't say it's "noisey". Bring some headphones and it's unnoticeable! The most noise comes from the traffic outside more than anything. I will be coming back here more often, and it's an overall great choice for matcha! read more

This place has some solid matcha! I love that it isn't too sweet. They have lots of different cold foams available; we tried the matcha cold foam with the signature first flight matcha, and orange creamsicle cold foam with the orange creamsicle matcha (it really tasted liked creamsicle!!). They have a unique menu (see pics) so I'll have to come back! Service was great - the cashier was happy to give us recommendations. There is WiFi available and a few small tables inside.

I have visited quite a few times when in the area and I enjoy their drinks. My experience here has been decent but when asking questions it felt rushed. I was the only one ordering so i don't see why. My go to is their signature matcha flight. I ordered a matcha latte recently and I didn't know adding sweetener was an additional charge. I printed my receipt and saw the drink came up to 7$. I dont mind but would've been good to know, I wasn't told about it. At that price I could've ordered the another matcha flight instead. I value prices and quality in any coffee shop I visit. Customer service is also essential. read more

I'm very happy that FFC opened up in Torrance! It's mosdef worth the drive! Parking gets a bit tight but people come and go so no biggie. There's always a line when I visit them but again, that's expected if they're very popular! A crowd is a good sign! The line moves fairly quick which is so awesome of the staff. They've always been welcoming and professional. The first few times I've visited, I had a few questions about the drinks and the cashier was knowledgeable and suggested drinks. I love a friendly convo! FFC also has some pastries available! They always look so fresh and good! I've tried a few like the croissants and cookies! Never disappoint! I found my favorite drink from FFC--the signature matcha with matcha foam! It's one of theeee best in the southbay area! Definitely on my top 3! I'm a matcha girlie so I can't really speak on their coffee. My husband appreciates their cold brew! That's his go-to! read more

Tried this new coffee shop near me that replaced a boba shop here. If a place has a signature drink I always like to try that the first time I go. Strangely they don't have a signature iced latte so my wife got me the signature cold brew. It was good but not better than an iced latte. Yeems in Gardena still holds the title for that. I did finish the cold brew so it was plenty delicious. I would definitely go back and try something else. read more

Whoo hoo!!! Another new coffee spot in the SouthBay! Specifically in Torrance!! Yay!! So, First Flight Coffee is in a small space that used to be Ding Tea which turned into Lotus and is now First Flight Coffee! I'm a Torrance girly so I know who comes and goes lol. The space is small but cute. It's very minimalist and it has just what it needs, no extras. Theres seating inside at the front of the cafe and also in the back. Theres a few small tables outside as well. The menu is very straight to the point. Which I appreciate because some of these coffee spots just have these menus that are so overwhelming and I just end up ordering an iced vanilla latte because I'm so confused lol. But not here, it's very straight forward. Of course they offer coffee, but they also offer matcha, tea, ades, and light food. I went with an iced honey cinnamon latte. It was good but I wasn't really tasting the cinnamon or honey really. It could've been a bit more seen. However, I would come again and try their matcha. read more

First time trying First Flight! I've been meaning to check them out and decided to go on a whim as I've been craving matcha. There was a bit of a wait when I got there, but it was understandable. I got the First Flight Matcha and the French Toast Latte. The matcha is definitely one of the better matchas that I've had in the South Bay! I enjoyed my matcha and can see myself coming back whenever I'm craving. As for the coffee, I found it to be just okay, it didn't blow my mind or anything. I definitely preferred the matcha over the coffee. Service was a bit cold and seemed uninviting, not sure if the workers were having an off day or something. I was awkwardly standing there for a bit waiting to order, and when I went up to get my drinks, I thanked the worker but she didn't say anything back. Just kind of ignored me and proceeded to wipe the table which was a bit awkward as I put in my straws. read more
