    Yuzu croissant
    Amir P.

    Customer service was great! Ample parking! I ordered a vanilla latte with almond milk and yuzu croissant. Unfortunately the latte was pretty bad. The croissant was very hard and super flaky... they played pretty good music .. it wasn't a cozy feel though.. like it was cold, no decor and just felt off. I probably wouldn't be back :/

    I love visiting Junia Cafe! Along with it being so close to home, all of the drinks i've tried so far are so good! My favorite drink has to be their seasonal Earl Grey Hot Chocolate (looking forward to the holidays just for this). My go to is their Matcha Latte and if i'm craving a coffee i'll get their Toasty Vanilla Latte. The staff are always kind and helpful. I love the ambiance of the cafe. It's a great place to work, study, or just hang out. They come out with seasonal drinks and i'm always looking forward to what unique drink they have next. Junia is such a great addition to the South Bay!

    Such a cute new addition to Gardena! Junia Cafe is located on the ground floor of an apartment building. There is street parking available, but it can fill up, so you might have to park a little farther down the street. Love the vibes of this cafe! Friendly service, and it's so fun to watch your drinks being made! They offer a variety of coffee drinks, matcha and hojicha, and unique speciality drinks. We got the Matcha Grey (matcha oat cortado and earl grey cream) and a Yuzu Shiso Ade. Both were so yummy and very pretty! I'll definitely be back to try some more of their specialty drinks!

    Here to report that the almost $7 Matcha Grey is (unfortunately) worth every penny :') I've come here twice, and both times I'm in shock at how well-made this drink is! The earl grey and matcha flavors go so well together, nothing overpowers the other in the best way possible. I get 50% sweetness, but may try 25% sweetness next time. Just note that this drink is really really small, but it's concentrated goodness in a cup! Parking isn't the easiest, but if you are willing to walk a little and park in the surrounding residential streets, you will not have a problem (at least during a Friday ~12pm)! Good service. I find that the tables are usually taken so it may be hard to find a spot to do work here!

    Golden Orange Latte

    I had a great experience at this café in Gardena! From a spacious interior to delicious drinks, this is café worth checking out. I had two drinks for my first visit: - Matcha Grey: Delicious and creamy with good matcha and earl grey flavor. Love that they make this with oat milk as a default. One of the smallest matcha drinks I've ever had, so it's good to pair with an additional drink. - Golden Orange Latte: Loved the flavor of this one which married the espresso, orange, and cinnamon flavors well. Kinda choked a bit on the flower garnishes, but at least it was pretty haha. Pastries seem to be sourced from a separate bakery and are on the pricier side. The interior is clean, spacious, and optimal for working/studying at. There are outlets, wifi, and a good amount of seating and tables. There is also a bathroom as well. For parking, it's street/neighborhood parking which is free I believe. I would definitely recommend and come back here!

    Second time and still loving the vibe and coffee. I stopped by early in the morning and was greeted with a smile. My new favorite space.

    Matcha Grey, Butter croissant
    Kimberly D.

    I ordered the earl grey matcha cortado. The size is small because it is a cortado but the flavor is delicious. I ordered a regular butter croissant which was big, very buttery, and super flaky. I'm not sure if they make their baked goods in house but they are yummy regardless. They have wifi which is awesome if you're someone trying to get some work done. They have a few parking spots out front but when I showed up 40 minutes after opening none were available. There is plenty of street parking in the area regardless. Service was good, and they call you over to get your order when it's ready. Food: 5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5

    Ambiance: it's a trendy coffee shop located on the ground level of an apartment building, limited street parking in front, despite there's a parking garage in the rear attached to the establishment, but it's not for public, so it's fairly tedious to look for street parking in the neighborhood. The store is spacious overall, however, quite crowded and loud inside, the open space is not equipped with enough tables and chairs to accommodate the volume, quite of few groups were standing and waiting for someone to leave Service: friendly and welcoming, the drinks were made efficiently through the line of staff working together Drink: simple menu items with a few of their store specialities GOLDEN ORANGE LATTE - *** orange syrup and cinnamon, very sweet taste MATCHA GREY - **** matcha oat cortado, earl grey cream, small cup as described, creamy top and bold matcha, recommend Price: fine quality and slightly pricy for the South Bay area, expect about $7 per drink

    Love to see Gardena expanding. Coffee shops like Junia are why I love being home again. Came here on a Wednesday morning to study. Madeline helped me pick out a coffee. She was very helpful and fun to chat with. I got the tomato pesto croissant with one of the specialty pour overs. Loved the way the coffee is served, in a serving glass and pot. This spot is spacious. Jazzy music in the morning. It's a great place to study, but you have to get here early. Seating is limited. Service is courteous and quick. Everyone was a pleasure. Highly recommend.

    My new favorite new coffee shop! What a find. Great and beautiful shop that has some tremendous coffee and an amazing staff. The cortado was perfectly prepared and can't wait to go back for another! The pastries were top notch as well.

    The croissant's to puffy and expensive and the coffee to light no smell no flavor, I always tried new places, no recomendable
    Erika N.

    The croissant to puffy and ask chocolate and was nothing inside, and coffee no flavor no smell , disappointed

    Peach oolong,matcha and hojicha
    Naomy V.

    Finally got to try Junia after hearing so many amazing things about this place and their drinks. Excited to say they're right! The place is super chic and a great place to chill and work at. My favorite drink from the three i got was their hojicha, wow the ending flavor of the nutty and roast was amazing, one the best hojicha latte I've tried in a while. I will be coming here for that hojicha!

    What a cute tea shop with a modern, slightly Japandi-inspired decor that makes the space feel calm…read moreand inviting. Their drinks were a pleasant surprise. The Thai tea was nicely balanced and not overly sweet, and the Jasmine tea was fragrant, thick, and perfect at 50% sweetness. The matcha latte was the best drink here for me: earthy, not sweet at all, and with a subtle nuttiness that made it so satisfying. The only miss was the strawberry taro, which leaned too sweet for my taste. Overall, a beautifully designed shop with some truly great drinks.

    The price point here is just right for what you get. I was not blown away by anything I got here…read moreand would probably prefer to go elsewhere for a few extra dollars to get better quality and flavor. That said, it's good enough for a place to go when you're on somewhat of a budget. The Dubai Chocolate Frappe was a semi-let down because the advertisement photo looked like it had a lot of chocolate. When I got my order, my first reaction was..."is that it?" The first several sips lacked the chocolate flavor I was anticipating but it was a fairly decent drink. It definitely would have been better with more chocolate as advertised. The Beef Teriyaki Bowl was a generous size; again, it was good enough. The TTEK-BOKKI (Korean Spicy Rice Cake) was extremely filling especially with cheese (which was a $3 up charge). Not sure I'd get this one again if I came back because the price point and the quality just didn't match. Parking is easy and free since it's in a complex with a now abandoned Rite-Aid. Even so, I'm not completely sure I'd come back since this place is small and the setup seems so cramped. It lacked the vibe I thought it would have based on social media posts. The staff could use a bit more energy and enthusiasm like other spots that offer similar items.
