The Vibe: A funky "water store turned cafe" concept. It is unique, low-frills, and very local. The Standouts: The Espresso Pomelo is a refreshing, bright surprise. The "Good Latte" is bold and creamy. Elite Tips: They sell out of popular flavors like Biscoff Chai early. Call ahead if you have your heart set on a specific seasonal drink. read more

Really cool spot with a lot of space in the front and back! Service was super friendly and explained the drinks to me. Huge ups to coffee shops that make their syrups in house with real ingredients and it really shows through in the drinks. He even let me try the syrups - I had the blueberry, biscoff, rosemary and fig syrup. All were so good but I think what was really unique was what my partner got which was the blueberry chai. I ended up getting the rosemary fig latte which was earthy and interesting. The space is huge and there's tables in the front and there's a speakeasy spot in the back for people to hang. It's a real functioning water shop too which is cool. Will be back to try more! read more

Ooooooo the drinks, the vibes, EVERYTHING was GIVING at this spot! If I'm not mistaken, it's tucked inside The Good Water and Market and honestly feels like a hidden gem. They literally sell water on the side (so quirky, and decent pricing, love it), but the real star is the cafe. The layout is chef's kiss -- super aesthetic decor, cool little pieces everywhere, and don't even get me started on the BIG ORANGE COUCH. Like... it deserves its own Instagram account. Now, the drinks: Me: Dirty Biscoff Chai Latte w/ oat milk + espresso shot 10000/10. I asked for light ice and the barista actually checked with me mid-pour if the amount was okay . Starbucks could NEVER. The flavor harmony was unreal -- espresso, biscoff, chai all blending perfectly without overpowering each other. Sonny: Strawberry Rose Matcha w/ oat milk 8.5/10, perfectly sweet and floral. Rabsang: 8/10 Blueberry Matcha w/ whole milk solid, but he wished he'd gone oat milk instead. Iber: 9/10 Peach Cobbler Matcha w/ oat milk legit tastes like pie in a cup. This place is a whole vibe. Drinks are creative, staff is thoughtful, and the space is aesthetic AF. Highly recommend for the cozy lounge energy and plzzz have some patience while the gentleman running the cafe COOOOOKKKKssss if you want matcha magic . read more

Having been to the cafe, I precisely got when people said it's such a warm welcoming neighborhood cafe. Sitting there for awhile I could see many of the visitors seemed to be regulars. Prolly one factor was it dis sell several stuffs including water and infused water. The space was nothing fancy but cozy enough to hang. They did seem to build community out of the cafe itself. Besides the regulars, they did have some house specialties, from which I got to try the Maple Brown Sugar Latte. Strong coffee well paired to the house made syrup. Sounded simple yet I did really enjoy it. Prolly the only one downside was dairy alternative milk was tad pricey at $1.5 extra charge. read more

Everyone who works here is SO NICE, the drinks are creative and delicious, AND they make their own syrups in house. I had to know more. This is what I learned from the owner: In May of 2024 Marcel decided to start a coffee bar in the back of his alkaline and purified water shop because he wanted something exciting, and he was always stopping on the way in to get coffee, so he decided to bring coffee into his space. He designed and built the cart out of his previous work bench as his now permanent pop-up. It became official July 2024, and he's loved making house made syrups. I went with the Espresso Pomelo ($7.25) from their summer menu with a double shot of espresso over Italian grapefruit soda and ice, and it was the perfect balance of sweet, citrusy, and still being able to taste the coffee. For their coffee beans, they use the Montenero Blend by local roaster Caffe Luxxe. There's plenty of free parking right on W Gardena Blvd, as well as a large parking lot in the back that you can enter from Vermont, and they have a large indoor space with two spacious rooms and a variety of seating options, from couches to benches. Their new fall menu is launching next week, so we will be sure to be back!! read more

Service was great!! 5 out of 5 stars for the service!!! I got the Peach Cobbler Matcha and it was ok. It was too sweet for my liking. I don't mind if it's a little sweet but this drink was just way too sweet. That's literally all I could taste. They have a variety of fun drinks (both matcha and coffee) that all sounded amazing!!! Inside was clean and again, service was great!!! read more

Good Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gardena, California

Small hidden gem coffee shop located in the Good Water Company store! The interior itself is pretty spacious with lots of open space and a couch and table. I appreciated the vibes and aesthetics of the shop. The menu has a variety of different espresso coffee and matcha options. The worker was really friendly and helpful in giving recommendations and explanations for the drinks. There is street parking available in front of the store. I tried their signature Good Latte which is made with their house made orange syrup, oat milk and a double shot of espresso which tasted similar to orange with chocolate. It's on the pricier side though at about $7.50 a drink and an additional $1.50 for alternative milk. It was good to try and would be cool to see how this small shop grows. read more

Good Coffee - Biscoff latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gardena, California

Was searching my neighborhood for some good matcha and this place popped up! As a local to this area, lived here my whole life, I was excited to see this type of small coffee shop popped up in my area. I was curious to try the matcha and it definitely did not disappoint. So far I've tried the peach cobbler and strawberry matcha lattes and they were both great, not overly sweet or overpowering the matcha flavor. The normal coffee lattes are also delicious, my favorite being the rosemary fig latte. Definitely a small establishment, only one barista behind the counter, but he's incredibly friendly and works his magic with the drinks. There is a nice sitting area with a wall full of art to wait while you eat for drinks. Tip: There is a parking lot in the back with a door that leads right into the coffee shop! read more

Coffee worth a trip!! There's coffee, and there is coffee from fresh beans weekly, homemade syrups and crystal clear water! Definitely worth a visit!! They do take out only Tue & Wed and are fully open Thu - Sun. If you are anywhere within an hours drive -- you should take the time to drop by !! Independent business. Black owned and operated. BTW: I'm not a friend or relation, just someone who likes good coffee read more

Good coffee for sure! I had the strawberry matcha. I've tried other matcha and one of those name brand coffee places which I didn't care for but this is good! You have to try this place. Friendly atmosphere, very cool vibes, too bad I didn't have time to lounge around. Next time..just don't get concerned with the area around this place. Maybe this place is the start to something better for this area. read more

Good Coffee - Strawberry matcha. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gardena, California

Visited Good Coffee and the experience was great. My husband had the good latte and I had the maple brown sugar latte which was over ice with not too much sweetness. The owner, Marcel was very personable. He was working alone but moved from prepping coffee to filling alkaline water request with ease. My family and I sat and enjoyed our coffee and throughly enjoyed the overall vibe of the coffee shop. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to California! read more

The vibe is so immaculate that it wouldn't be out of place in a movie. Intentionally decorated and very cozy but plenty of room to bring your friends or a date. The owner is kind and charismatic - reminded me a lot of the hospitality you'd find in the south. He makes all the syrup flavors himself which is super fun and definitely made me want to come back to try them all. I got the peach cobbler matcha and was impressed with how much it tasted like cobbler. It wasn't coyingly sweet and the matcha was smooth. My only adjustment would be to make the matcha a little stronger to stand next to the syrup, but that's more of a personal opinion. The owner mentioned they have open mic nights and other pop up events that is highlighted on their instagram, so I'm looking forward to checking those out! P.S. there's a lot behind the building with more parking read more

The outside of Good Coffee is easy to miss, but the inside embodies community! Each piece of art looks intentionally placed and the playlist nicely curated. This space is also tucked away in a water shop, so that was cool to be in! Both staff members were also very nice during our visit. While the drinks didn't suit our tastes, I'm glad we gave them a shot. We ordered the Strawberry Matcha & Rosemary Fig Latte. The matcha was on the watery side, and the strawberry syrup was quite sweet. The rosemary fig syrup dominated the latte, which didn't suit my preference. The drinks looked beautiful, but because they were on the smaller side, the ratio of syrup to drink seemed off. Since the flavors are strong, I'd recommend asking for light syrup. The syrups are made in-house, so that's a plus! I probably wouldn't try their matcha again, but may give their latte another shot with a different syrup pairing. read more

I looked the peach cobble matcha. I had tried a few others but they werent really enough to remember. But the peach cobbler was like the golden child lol. Ot came out looking good and tssted good whie the other drinks looked like they tasted. Parking is a bit weird. But i was able to find some real quick even though i had to check on it frequently lol because there was some dude who kept looking at it. Ugh annoying made the situation more bad to be honest even if it had nothing to do with the actual place but it was right outside so figured id add that on here read more

The cutest little hidden gem of a coffee shop! If you're driving down Gardena Blvd it's easy to miss this place but there's a parking lot on the back. The coffee shop is small and curated with great visual pieces and warm toned everywhere, the vibe is casual and calming. The menu is small and you're sure to find something you like. I like cold brew and that's what I got. It was smooth, rich, and bold in that way you want your cold brew, none of that acidic sharpness that makes it difficult/tedious to drink. My one "complaint", it only comes in one size and I drank it all on my commute I like supporting local, small owned so I'll happily go back! read more

Omg this place was such a gem! Tucked away inside a water shop which elevated the experience of the coffee. We crafted drinks based on their house made syrup and every drink was made to perfection. Our wonderful barista was very helpful and suggested a few recommendations based on what we were looking for. Great service and even more amazing drinks. Will return rest of our trip to this shop to try the other drinks!!! read more

Met my sister's here on a Saturday afternoon after some plans fell through in the local vicinity and they wanted to try a local coffee spot. I arrived and parked in the alley/back of the store. I walked up to the back entrance and was hesitant to open the door because it looked like it was an employee only entrance. The sun was in my eyes and all of a sudden a tall guy starts talking to me through the screen door and asked if I was there to meet some friends and I said yes then he let me in through the back entrance. I walked through the back and he directed me to the front area where the coffee shop was located and my sisters. So it's not like a typical coffee shop but this one has character and a huge tank/reservoir at the front of the door. I arrived about 30 minutes before closing time and IMMEDIATELY went into a debrief with my sisters about the days events, what we were going to do next. We sat on the couch and although it wasn't the most comfortable it felt like home. It's part coffee shop, part water store, part cute place to relax and hang out, but our get together was cut short because they closed at like 4 or 5 pm. The coffee wasn't my favorite, but I did enjoy the spot and would come back to try another coffee drink and also catch up with friends. read more

Don't blink or you might miss it! But seriously.. this place is hidden pretty well. We drove by it when we were trying to park and we walked right past it when we walked the other direction looking for it. The only thing that had brought us back was a flappy banner that said "coffee" in front of the Good Water store. The worker in the water store called us in and even asked "are you looking for coffee??" Probably cracking up at how lost we looked. The entrance to the coffee spot was in the back of the water store. Speakeasy vibes. It was about fifteen minutes before closing time on a Sunday, but the only worker behind the counter was patient with us. I even made a phone call to my friend to see if they wanted us to get them coffee before we met up right after. My girlfriend ordered a strawberry matcha and I tried ordering a white mocha, but the barista said they were out of the syrup. Totally fine since they were about to close. I quickly chose the signature latte, iced, which I never would've ordered to begin with since I thought fruit and coffee was one of the weirdest things (this has orange syrup) and I just dislike oat milk. The barista offered to have it with cold brew since I was getting it iced, which sounded like a nice touch so why not. Let me tell you, I was blown away by my drink. I haven't had anything so refreshing in a long time. Who would've thought the sweet and tangy of orange, with the bitterness and coldness of coffee and the nutty and creaminess of oat milk would go very well together? I'm dying to go back even though it's a ways away. Probably one of my top three coffee drinks ever. My girlfriend got the iced strawberry oat matcha latte. It wasn't the worst, but we're just used to strawberry puree instead of syrup. But my friend said their cold brew with honey lavender syrup and oat milk was delicious and kept offering us to try it. It's a cool little spot to hangout it at, the walls are decorated with vinyls and framed words of affirmation. Very small business feel and even though they were about to close, the barista was still down to have a conversation. I can't wait to be back. read more

New speakeasy vibes coffee shop in Gardena with amazing coffee! If you follow Google maps it takes you to a water company but the coffee shop is in the back and it's the best coffee I've had in the area. As well as the design of the shop being really aesthetically pleasing. They have a dart board where you can play while waiting for your order. The coffee shop is still pretty new but orders were coming out fast and they were so accommodating to our requests. They have many dairy alternatives but we just stuck with oat milk. My favorites were the good latte which you have the option of switching out the espresso with cold brew for more caffeine but I preferred the taste of the espresso version. It's one of their popular ones and I could see why the taste of the orange goes well with the coffee. Also the peach matcha fizz was great and I had the option of choosing sparkling water or tonic water for slightly more sweetness. I got it with tonic water and the sweetness was perfect. We also ordered the peach cobbler match which tasted like cereal and a blueberry chai latte that was not on the menu. read more

First of all, this quaint coffee shop resides inside of Good Water Co on Gardena Blvd. Marcel, the owner, is a ray of sunshine and smiles. In the front of the shop, you can grab yourself some alkaline water as well as some unique snacks and chips you may not find in other convenience stores. Even as a small business, he likes to support other small businesses and sell their products in his shop. Sheesh, that's called support + community. The coffee shop itself is really cozy and offers some of your favorite drinks, lattes, and matchas, as well as their unique flavored versions. I love that their syrups are made in-house because that makes all the difference in the world. read more

Good Coffee - Peach cobbler and espresso tonic with orange syrup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gardena, California

The ambience is great and the design of the place is very cozy. They also sell filtered water, gallons and water bottles. It's two stores in one! Unfortunately, this was my first time having to throw out my drink. I tried the Maple Brown Sugar Latte Iced. It was $9 for I believe the medium size. For what it was it was wayyy overpriced for the size. I couldn't taste the sweetener and the coffee was so bitter and under extracted. It tasted burnt even with all the milk and sweetener. I came on the weekend to treat myself because during the week I usually consume black coffee or straight I was so disappointed :( I was excited because the filtered water is such a good source and a way to make excellent coffee. But I don't think I'll come in again read more

This coffee shop feels like community! They have such unique products and their storefront is a pure gem. They sell filtered water in bottles or large refills which is such a genius idea because coffee shops are already formulating next level water! They transport you to a small town and offer latte flavors that most folks have probably never seen before! The owner is very approachable and kind, and everyone we spoke to was very interested in pairing flavors that we would enjoy. One of the most unique coffee shops in LA! read more

Really great hole-in-the-wall coffee spot. Tucked behind a water store, yes, they sell purified drinking water and alkaline water up front, this coffee shop is a hidden gem. Ramon usually serves the drinks up in back and you can note that he is caring and precise with every drink he makes. When he recommends something, if you're willing, give it a shot. He tends not to steer you in the wrong direction. Service is on point! Their menu is different, good different. Drinks and mixes and unique and have an interesting take on typical rise and grind beverage of choice. If you're in the area for some great food, throw this in your mix to stop by and get a coffee for the road or something. read more

It is refreshing to write a review regarding a place that is wonderful and exceeded expectations. Good Coffee is not just a place to walk in and out with a drink as some sort of fast food or fast coffee place. It is rather a destination to enjoy an experience. I couldn't help to notice that people were smiling to go inside, smiling while inside, and smiling as they came out of the independent business owned and run by Marcel. The service is professional and personal at the same time. You can't help but feel welcomed upon arrival. The drinks are not run of the mill flavors and styles that you can find elsewhere. The uniqueness of this coffee place shows everywhere you look from the decor to the items offered. There is a reason that this place does well by word of mouth. No advertisement that I have seen, no apps, no lack of service. Marcel is a genuine person that does not pretend that he is having a great day being an independent businessman. He shows his enthusiasm in every aspect of Good Coffee. read more
