Aurora took great care of us! I had the outstanding horchata - big enough to share! My companions and I each got the superb chicken and waffles, which simply can't be beat. A little sweet, a little savory - the fried chicken breast is tender, crispy, crunchy perfection. We'll be back!

The good: pancakes are actually pretty good. Can't complain…read more The bad: maple syrup tasted watered down. No maple flavor at all. Would have been better bringing my own bottle of Mrs. Butterworth. Service was weird and bad. Nobody came to greet us and offer water and take drink order for at least 5 minutes after seating. The servers, although polite, were not very friendly, quiet, not warm. The girl who brought out our food was creepy and quiet and barely spoke. Did not bring us utensils with food. My husband had to steal the utensils off the next table. The people working there don't seem happy. No music playing. The place is oddly quiet and dead, could only hear some conversations from nearby tables. Large tv playing Bob's Burgers just felt very empty and dead, no life. Almost $4 for a cup of coffee and they bring out the little mini moo creamers that have chemicals in them. I asked the server for some whole milk instead and it took forever to come. Save your money and time and just go to Eat At Joes in Redondo. That place actually has life and they know how to run a business.

I'm still amazed at their efficiency over the years. OHOP is like a well oiled machine that…read morejust... works and they clearly have their system down. We came here today (Saturday) @ 10am. We were seated pretty quickly, but the true magic came when we were seated - despite every table seated and a crowd of people waiting outside. Our server Verenice was amazing. She was super attentive/ quick, friendly and even did something a lot of servers miss (spotted an incorrect plate and had it sent back and redone immediately before even bringing it out to us). 10/10 service from her. Additionally, I think this is fairly obvious (by the wait times) but the pancakes are amazing. There's a reason why people keep coming here and it's always crowded. Must try place if you've never been.

Birthday breakfast is a tradition in our family, so we came to The Original Pancake House in…read moreRedondo Beach to celebrate my husband's birthday. We got there around 9 and, thankfully, didn't have much of a wait before being seated. The place was semi packed but well lit and noise level was tolerable for our baby. I ordered soft scrambled eggs with hash browns and bacon. I'm VERY particular about my eggs because most places hear "soft scrambled" and still somehow serve them overcooked. They got mine right the first time! Soft just like I asked, crispy hash browns on the side, and good bacon. Simple breakfast, but exactly what I wanted. My husband went a little bigger and ordered the Apple Pancake, which is oven-baked with fresh apples and a cinnamon glaze. When they brought it out, it looked GOOD. Unfortunately, after a couple bites, he realized it wasn't for him. It had a really eggy taste that took over the pancake and cinnamon flavor. Our waitress was super sweet about it and offered to switch it out for French toast. Much better choice for him. He really enjoyed that. We also had regular pancakes at the table, and of course we had to do a birthday pancake with chocolate chips, whipped cream, and a candle. Gotta keep the tradition going! Overall, we had a really nice birthday breakfast. What stood out most was the service. They got my picky egg order right and when my husband didn't care for his meal, there was no issue getting him something he actually enjoyed. We'll definitely be back.

The place is so comfortable and clean. It is not loud like a standard bar and there are places to sit that are super quiet. The service is super nice. They will take goo care of you. I love the music they play. I am so sick of elevator music and they don't do that. I really enjoy that. All of their food is great, but I am hooked on their salads. Their Sartori Caesar is one of my favorites. It has super fresh crisp romaine hearts with freshly grated parmesan cheese, sourdough croutons and house-made Caesar dressing. I love the dressing. Their Big Newport Wedge is better than most is has the best iceberg wedge topped with applewood smoked bacon, balsamic red onion, tomato and a great blue cheese dressing. All the food is great and we eat more than just salad, but their salad is a stand out.

Review #998 2026-068…read more Lychee Berry with Crystal Boba $6.58 Large Strawberry Mochi Shaved Ice (served w/strawberry bunny jello, mochi, fresh strawberry, house special strawberry puree) $11.71 Formerly Get Shaved, Boba Bunny Coffee & Tea takes over with a stylish pink-themed dining space & IG-worthy shaved ice with cute jiggly animal jellos. The boba shop is located on the northwest corner next to Dentist of Old Torrance with plenty of parking. The shop's dining space is mostly of 2-tops that can be adjusted to seat larger groups, with a unisex restroom is in the back. There's a corner to the right of the entrance with a Boba Bunny neon sign & powder blue scooter that's great for taking pics! I first learned of the shop via Toast last year when they offer a $2.00 birthday treat. My son has tried most of the local boba shops so I wanted to see how this ranks on his list. The menu is pretty extensive for its size with: fresh fruit teas, blended fruit/smoothies, fruit yogurt, fruit mocktails, premium milk teas, pure teas, cheesy bunny teas, tea lattes, ice milks, coffees, toppings ice creams, build your own (bubble) waffle, bubble waffle combo, churros, shaved ice, hot sandwiches/paninis, toasts, croissants, rice bowls, salads, munchies, add-ones... whew! There's also collectible boba bear bottles that's refillable; I don't think the refillable bottle is more than their large drinks unlike some other shops with refill options. Stopping by on a late Saturday morning, it was quiet. It took a few minutes to peruse their menu & I had a few questions since the electronic menu & kiosk didn't have a description of the ingredients. I ordered Lychee Berry with Crystal Boba, & M picked a large Strawberry Mochi Shaved Ice. It took a few minutes before my order was ready. I liked the Lychee Berry... it has a floral & sweet tart taste from the lychees & strawberries, with a moderate serving of crystal boba. The shaved ice was definitely IG-worthy! It's piled high with ice fluff & topped with fresh strawberries, mochis, & a strawberry bunny jello; their house special strawberry purée, a bit too sweet for my liking, is set aside to prevent diluting the shaved ice. The mochi is colored, but it doesn't taste flavored or fresh (in-house) made; fresh as in chewy & pillowy like a marshmallow. The jiggly bunny makes a fun pic (see videos)! M thought it was funny to tap its behind, & we had it angled so that it looks like it's eating a pink mochi. Hehehe... While it's creative to a certain extent & tasty, the menu is on the expensive side for the serving size. Service was positive since we were the only customers, though slow due to the order execution process. Alas, the location is not quite marketable even though there's high traffic from Ralph's. It's the same owner, rebranding the Boba Bunny to Phin Coffee a couple of months ago after 2 years as a boba shop, which makes sense since there was a special run 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM with a 20% discount on coffee & matcha before the transition.

I came by recently with some friends after dance class and we were all impressed. I tried the Biscoff Matcha Latte and it was fantastic. You can tell they use high-quality ceremonial grade matcha. The flavor is spot on. It's rare to find that level of quality in a specialty latte, and I'm definitely coming back just for that drink. I'm looking forward to trying their other matcha options next time! Also need to try their desserts.

I like trying seasonal lattes and such. Today I got their pumpkin spice horchata latte. Very good. Very creamy. It's like a classic pumpkin spice latte with just a hint of that horchata cinnamon spice. So comforting, so cozy. We also ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito. Ugh yum. Chorizo. Egg. Hash brown. And that salsa just tops everything off so nicely. We were just sad today wasn't Tuesday so we could get tamales haha. The oooooonly thing that would make this place perfection for me is if they didn't charge for alternative milk ($1.25). That feels steep for me.. the servers are really nice and helpful with answering any questions. They've adjusted drinks for me in the past, even created something that wasn't on the menu. Solid coffeeshop

*** Cards only - no cash establishment ***…read more La Terraza is a family-owned local & food-focused coffee shop in Redondo Beach opened in 2020. This coffee shop is in partnership with a sister cafe called La Terraza Cafe located in the City Terrace area of East Los Angeles. [Parking]: Street parking only, but I had no issue finding a nearby spot. [Ambiance]: The coffee shop has a monthly pop-up bookstore (Moonstone & Mist) on the last Friday of each month at the storefront (check their Instagram page for more info). There are five tables and one sofa inside the shop and seven outdoor tables. The space has a nice and cozy atmosphere with soothing background music from Rod Stewart and The Rolling Stones. There is one unisex restroom. [Menu]: The top highlighted dishes are French Toast, Breakfast Burrito, and Avocado Toast. I asked the staff about popular drinks and the horchata latte was recommended so I went with it. They serve coffee from La Colombe Coffee Roasters. They also offer various Mexican-inspired drinks like café de olla, Mexican mocha, and matcha de olla. *** Breakfast Burrito ($10.50 - Avocado $2.50 + Bacon $2.00): The filling had a crunchy texture from the bacon which was nice. The salsa had an a-okay flavor profile, but it had the right amount of heat. Horchata Latte (hot 12 oz, $6.75): The drink was quite good with just the right amount of sweetness. *** A solid 4.5-star on latte and a 4-star on breakfast burrito. Overall this is a nice 1st date spot in Redondo Beach as the beach walk is only two blocks away.

Special shoutout to Wadia, who was attentive, apologetic about the delay, and genuinely cared about the experience. Despite the big order ahead of mine, they got my food out in 10 minutes. Friendly fun staff! With awesome service.

Great Food, Outstanding Service & A Fantastic Family-Friendly Experience…read more Bruxie was such a pleasant experience, and what really stood out to me wasn't just the food--it was how welcoming, attentive, and accommodating the staff were throughout our entire visit. We came in as a family, and the staff did an excellent job making sure we were comfortable while we waited for our food. They checked on us several times to make sure everything was okay, and I especially appreciated how they went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable for our family. They provided coloring materials and games for us to play while we waited, which was such a thoughtful touch. Those little details make a huge difference when you're dining with kids. Instead of feeling like we were simply waiting around for our food, it actually gave us something fun to do together as a family. The service was genuinely friendly without feeling forced. Everyone we interacted with was helpful, patient, and attentive, and they made us feel like they actually cared about our experience. That level of hospitality deserves to be recognized because great customer service can really elevate an otherwise casual meal. And then there was the food! I ordered the Breakfast Burrito with fried chicken, and it was absolutely loaded. Bruxie's breakfast burrito comes packed with eggs, melted cheddar, spiced tots, chipotle mayo, Bruxie cheese sauce, and your choice of protein, and choosing the fried chicken was definitely the right move. (Toast) The fried chicken was cooked superbly. It had a great crispy exterior while still being juicy and flavorful on the inside. What I really enjoyed was how well the chicken worked with the other ingredients in the burrito. You had the richness of the cheese, the texture and seasoning from the tots, the creaminess of the sauces, and the savory fried chicken all coming together in every bite. The burrito was also generously filled, so this wasn't one of those breakfast burritos where you get mostly tortilla with a little filling in the middle. There was plenty of everything, and the flavors actually complemented one another instead of competing. The combination of crispy fried chicken, eggs, cheese, potatoes, and the sauces made it incredibly satisfying. I also appreciate that Bruxie offers a menu that feels fun and different rather than just another standard breakfast or chicken restaurant. Their whole concept revolves around putting creative spins on comfort food, particularly chicken and waffles, while also offering breakfast burritos, chicken sandwiches, tenders, shakes, and other options. (Bruxie) Overall, Bruxie delivered on both the food and the experience. The breakfast burrito was flavorful, filling, and cooked extremely well, but the staff really made the visit memorable. The fact that they took the time to check on us, make sure we had what we needed, and even provide coloring activities and games for the family showed a level of thoughtfulness that you don't always get at a casual restaurant. If you're looking for a spot where you can get some seriously good comfort food while still having a family-friendly and welcoming experience, Bruxie is definitely worth checking out. Great food. Great service. Great family atmosphere. And that fried chicken breakfast burrito is absolutely worth trying.

I also highly recommend the Californian tartine, which is their version of an avocado toast, and it just tastes so fresh and the flavors work so well together.

There are so many other items that I need to try on the menu, and I will because this is definitely one of our go-to brunch spots if we're running errands in the area.
