The flavor is a lot less strong and it pretty much just tastes like banana and milk :( i understand that it is probably more affordable to replace it with the matcha foam, but it really takes the quality out of the latte and i miss the original menu item! Other than that misc has amazing matcha and coffee, but I will say that change has disappointed me.

That said, my wife got the vanilla latte because she wanted something while we were out and she gave me a sip. After that, I went straight in line to order it. No joke. It was that good. My wife said this place had AMAZING coffee and I didn't believe her, but (don't tell her I said this) she was right. This place is way better than any Starbucks, Coffee Bean, *insert any corporate chain with overpriced and only decent coffee. While my office is right next door, I actually may decide to pop in from time to time since it does seem to be worth it. It lives up to the hype 100%.

The latte was absolutely delicious, the cinnamon and orange blossom was such a nice touch and a little bit of sweetness that made the latte absolutely a delight.

Bada Coffee is an independent coffee shop located in Torrance, at the Plaza Mayor Shopping Center…read more It combines Korean Café' looks and taste and it even has a robot to make your coffee, but have no fear, there are people there to help out. The place is ever so cute. It is spotless. The service is great. Even the robot is adorable. We love their Mango mango and all of their lattes are great. Their espresso is perfect. I wish it was open a bit later. We often end up there near closing. But it is one of our favorite coffee shops in the South Bay. It is fun, the prices are fair and again, they have a robot. They close at 6 pm so get there. Please stay open until 7, we will come. The attention to detail in every cup is consistent and amazing. You will love it.

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 ordered a drink that…read morethey were actually out of, but no one informed me until I went to check on the status of my order. If I hadn't asked for an update, I likely would have continued waiting without knowing. When I asked the barista in the grey shirt, in the coffee side, for an update, he gave me a snappy response. Customer service is clearly not his strength. The lack of communication and customer service was very disappointing. On top of that, once my order was finally ready, another customer ended up taking the bagel I ordered. The entire process felt extremely unorganized, and it's clear they have a terrible system for managing orders and communicating with customers. The only positive part of my experience was the girl behind the counter, who was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, one kind employee couldn't make up for the overall poor service and disorganization. I won't be coming back. The food itself was flavorless and lacking. Avoid if you are looking to have a calm morning. Your cortisol will be spiked.

There is indoor and outdoor seating and the restroom inside the hotel lobby is easily accessible. We have been here many times for coffee which is equally as good as the tea. The bakery items are wonderful as well as the assorted gelatos. Many visitors pick up premade sandwiches and salads to take to the beach, etc. What you must try are the ice cream sandwiches which can be found in the freezer. They are to-die-for. Know that this is a very busy morning coffee shop so patience and time is important especially during the summer and high travel tourist periods. We try to keep that in mind when we make the trip to Terranea and plan a coffee break.

[Atmosphere]: There's an outdoor patio area and the interior decors include wallpaper with buildings in Italy, a shelf with Ferris cars and children's books, and pictures of Italian cars hanging on the wall. Behind the counter is a poster of the 25th anniversary of The Godfather. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Rustico, Caprese, and Cotto. Breakfast panini is only served from open to 11 AM. The cafe also sells coffee, gelato (six different flavors), salads, affogato, and croissants (plain, cream, nutella, and apricot). I had a cup of house brewed coffee and the drink wasn't quite on the same level as other third-wave coffee shops in the South Bay. They sell coffee beans from Danesi Caffe. *** Breakfast panini (Scrambled egg, fontina cheese, tomato a avocado - $10.95): A healthy-tasting sandwich, but it probably needed more sauce to add flavor. Bread was good. Rustico (RUSTICO: 24-month aged prosciutto di Parma smoked scamorza cheese, arugula, & white truffle extra virgin olive oil - $11.95): A solid sandwich, but it definitely lacked the "it" factor. *** A solid local cafe for anyone looking for a healthy Italian panini.

Visiting from AZ and my brother recommended we try this place for lunch. It's located in a…read morebeautiful area and I loved that it has both indoor and outdoor seating options. It's a quaint-looking little place and the yellow umbrellas give off sunshine and happy vibes. It is a counter order type of place, but they do bring your food out to you when it's ready. We decided to enjoy the gorgeous outdoor weather and nestled under one of many yellow umbrellas. Food portions are big enough for sharing, but we didn't know this and we each ordered a different sandwich, which was also served with a green spinach salad and an amazing dressing. Food was all very good. It is on the pricier end for a casual lunch, but if you like sharing, one sandwich is perfect for two. We each ended up only eating half our sandwiches and were given a container to take the rest home (ONE container!). Unfortunately, in my attempt to help my mom with her walker we forgot our food, so that was the only bummer. I will definitely return again if in the area.

It is a lovely cafe with a wonderful menu, inside and outside seating, seating area in back for a large group, clean restrooms, cute yellow decor and the most beautiful setting outside under yellow umbrellas surrounded by large local succulents and plants. The food is consistenly fresh and fabulous. We have had the sunny eggs on a grilled baguette with the side salad, french onion soup, eggs & sausage, sunshine pannini, avocado toast and the smoked salmon plate. Everything is served hot. I love love their coffee as well. The Spanish latte is my favorite. Oh and the strawberry salad is one of my favorite salads. We have never been here for dinner but the offerings look amazing. The parking is always busy but we can usually find a spot. I love this shopping center. There is a new ice cream shop right accross the path we will need to try soon.

Oh Tot! How I think of tater tots, but this is not that kind of tot!…read more Anywho, coffee review #727362728 I came in close to an hour of closing and they got a little busy after I ordered. I tried their tot cream latte & their "feels like home", both iced. If you order for enjoying in shop, they give you a cute cup with a saucer & spoon. They don't put that much ice which I appreciate. The coffee is still cold! The tot cream latte is on the sweeter side, but it is extremely good. I like the flavor of the coffee, although the sweetness kind of takes away from the coffee shining through. It's good for people that like coffee but not the acidic taste from it. The feels like home is strong. That bean? Phew. Got muscles, it's strong. Very subtle sweetness. Beautiful bean flavor. Cream top is yummy. I would def order again. I appreciate them not having burnt or acidic/sour tasting espresso. That's been a common trend in coffee shops as of late D: Ambiance is nice, it's small inside & no AC so they have a fan with the door cracked open wide but still gets stuffy inside. I believe they do have WiFi don't quote me, you'll have to fact check that one. But there were people there on their laptops so I wanna assume yes.. Service was quick and standard amongst the baristas. Parking in the plaza is small otherwise there is an underground garage. There was a notice of filming or photography sign I didn't bother reading and forgot to take a picture of but it's on the glass when you go up to order.

On the other side of the street you have some pretty cool views - so one stop for both dessert and a sunset. Would come back!

Staff came out as soon as I walked in, and the doorway bell rang. Interior has three small round tables and wooden stools with counter along the window. Exterior has a couple large square metal tables with chairs. Those look like they're shared with the other businesses in the shopping center. So many flavors to choose from, and they all look good. I ordered an Affogato with a vanilla bean gelato and a small scoop of the Chai tea latte gelato. The Affogato was served in a small plastic cup with plastic spoon. The small scoop of gelato was served in a small paper cup with an even smaller plastic spoon. Both were delicious. The consistency of the gelato is smooth, as expected. Service was friendly and efficient. My order was ready and I was rung up in minutes. Parking: Free, shared shopping center.
