Amazing Coffee and matcha! Always wanted to try this place out since I walk loops around Rivera Village. There's several coffee shops within this block and there's a fierce competition. This coffee shop hands down one of the best, if not the best. I ordered the Dirty matcha ($8). It was super good! A bit expensive, not gonna lie. But what was surprising is that I ordered an Iced drink, and maybe about a quarter of my cup was filled with ice. Whereas other places, at least half the cup is filled with ice. Interior is nice, there's seatings outside too. Wish they would place a trash can, where the straws are. So we have somewhere to throw it away. Felt bad for the lady cashier who was handling the order and making the drinks. She worked very hard. read more

The location of this place is great - perfect spot in the riviera village. Ambiance is great - love the blue walls and the couch and chairs and natural lighting. Got an almond croissant and a pink matcha - love the name of it even thought it's basically a strawberry matcha lol. The matcha was okay. Not my favorite but okay. The almond croissant is from sweet wheat (appreciate their transparency), but sweet wheat honesty doesn't impress me very much. Good almond paste but the croissant itself isn't the best. Good ambiance and location - but meh on the drinks and pastries for me. read more

Wish I could give negative stars, I never write yelp reviews. It was my first time there...the older lady that took our order was so monotone/ rude it instantly set the vibe off. The Matcha was clumpy, watery and overall the wrong green color. I also ordered a latte and she legit pumped caramel in and it sank straight to the bottom of the cup. ***Came in 04/01/26 *** the older lady had blonde hair and an accent Age range 40-50 *** it is not normal to pump caramel in an already made latte and mix it with a spoon... read more

Customer service was friendly and inviting. They're set in a really great location for other options to checkout as you walk around and drink your coffee. I liked their cold brew but I wasn't entirely sold on it. My wife had the Coconut Kiss and I did not care for it one bit. It tasted too artificial in my opinion. I don't know if this is a place I would come back to and try something else. read more

Kaffeine Espresso Bar is located in the Riviera, a great spot if you're looking to grab a coffee for your morning stroll along the beach or a sit down to work at. They have plenty of seating inside and outside the coffee shop. I ordered the strawberry matcha and it was really good. If you're getting your drink 'for here,' they serve your drink in a glass cup, which makes it feel a little more elevated. If you're taking it 'to-go', it comes in a plastic cup. The barista was nice and made our drinks well. Parking is on the street out front or around the Riviera. I would recommend this place to other people. read more

After attending a proposal in Palos Verdes. We were looking for a coffee spot to waste time in between events as well as get my caffiene fix. Im surprised theres not too many coffee places (still open at 5pm) in PV. We stumbled upon this place in Redondo. Lots of parking (paid) all over the place. Its a small place. Lots of windows. They have a lot of matcha options as well as coffee options. Multiple seating options. Patrons here are kind of snooty. In that if your phone is playing too loudly or your talking to loudly, they side eye you. Like if your that focused on studying your flash cards maybe you should study in the quietness of your own home or somewhere else that isnt a social area... opinions only tho.... Anyways, I got their cortado. And my wife got their chai latte. Drinks come out quickly. Mines had a beautifully made heart on top. It was good. Smooth, strong. Well balanced. They do serve some pastries here. No full on meals. read more

Great location right in the heart of Riviera Village and GREAT drinks. They have a really small but super unique menu. I got a gingerbread chai latte that was STELLAR. My friend loved her strawberry matcha latte! Plenty of cozy seating choices and the staff was friendly, helpful, and quick. Would definitely return! read more

This place is truly a hidden gem! I discovered it after craving coffee following a long walk along the Esplanade with my furry friend. I ordered the iced Dubai Pistachio Latte from their limited-time menu, and it did not disappoint. Not only was the flavor rich and perfectly balanced, but it also included chopped pistachios, which added a delicious texture and elevated the drink even more. Such a thoughtful touch! I took my drink to go, but the space itself looked like a lovely spot to hang out or even get some work done. It has a modern aesthetic while still feeling cozy and welcoming. I'd love to come back soon and explore more items on the menu! read more

Excellent coffee and excellent pastries. I was afraid that the coffee selections would be lacking with so many coffee cafe options in the area, but Kaffeine did not disappoint. It was VERY good and paired well with the pastry. I had ordered an Americano and a Bostock (similar to an almond croissant). The coffee had a nice depth and richness. Not bitter. Very pleasant surprise. Nice vibe in the cafe. Very pleasant staff, who I believe may have been the owner. I will be back! read more

I recently moved down to the area & came here today after leaving the farmers market. I ordered the "Strawberry Matcha" & it was so good. It had the perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely be coming back. read more

I set out on a long bike ride this past Saturday with one goal in mind: to reward myself with a matcha latte. That was literally my motivation to get out the door. When I arrived at what I thought was my destination, I realized I was at the wrong location so I kept riding and ended up in Redondo. I passed Kaffeine Espresso Bar and despite it not being my original planned destination, it caught my eye. I ended up circling back and decided to stop in. I was the only customer inside, though there were a couple of small groups seated outside. Since I didn't bring a lock, I brought my bike in and leaned it against the table I planned to sit at. It was completely out of the way. When I went to order, I was barely acknowledged...no greeting, no smile, just a blank stare. Not sure if it was the bike, the general vibe, or if the employee just needed more Kaffeine himself, but it definitely did not give me a good first impression. I asked for a hot matcha latte and was informed they don't make it sweet although they pointed out some sweetener options, which I declined which was a major mistake. Additionally, while I was ordering, another employee tried upselling me on a donut. I said it looked delicious but he shot back, "it tastes better." Cool...unless you're giving it to me for free and taking the calories with you, hard pass! The matcha came in a glass with a nice cream topping, but the drink itself? Meh! Totally mediocre and not worth the 15 mile bike ride!! I left wishing I'd stuck with my original plan or chosen any of the countless other spots in the area. I really don't think this is somewhere I'll be rushing back to. read more

This is by far the best quality espresso I have ever had!! Got some specialty lattes which were delicious but I think I actually prefer a classic latte here- the quality is seriously that good. Among all the competition in this area for a good cafe, Kaffeine easily takes the top spot for me. Everyone is super nice too and the seating area is really cozy. read more

Nice staff and in a great location but the drinks were really subpar. The "aloha" is a mix of juice and coffee, we couldn't even finish it. The chai was unremarkable. Can't justify these prices either given the quality. Not sure if we just ordered wrong but it didn't met my expectations read more

So excited to have Kaffeine finally open in the Riviera! The owners were so welcoming -- you can tell they genuinely care about creating a great experience. The vibe is sleek, European chic, and honestly fits the Riviera Village perfectly. It feels like the kind of spot you'd just stumble into on a side street in Paris or Barcelona... but lucky for us, it's right here in Redondo. I ordered a dirty chai and it was on point -- bold, smooth, just the right kick of spice without being overpowering. You can tell they're serious about their coffee here. This is the kind of place you'll want to post up with a book, meet up with a friend, or just swing by to grab a little caffeine and people-watch. So happy to have another local gem in the Village -- can't wait to come back! read more

It was my first time here and I got the gingerbread latte. Told the dude it was my first time and he was super helpful. Place is pretty spacious and chill inside. The drink reminded me of Christmas which is awesome since it's the best holiday. I got it iced cuz it was hot and I parked in the neighborhood so it took a minute. Riviera Village is one of my favorite spots in the Bay and another fire place I can go to. Redondo never misses read more

I never want to leave negative reviews but this was not good. Immediately walking into the shop -- the interior is very nice but the smell of an acidic espresso fills the air, not the greatest quality for specialty espresso based coffee drinkers. Usually if an espresso based drink is not up to my preference I will still drink it and accept that it's too acidic or bitter for my taste but this was very unpleasant to drink. It was undrinkable. The matcha was also not great, did not finish either after a few sips. In addition to what prompted me to leave this review was that they don't have lids for cold cups to go -- which is very odd. Disappointed by this experience. read more

They need more help. Only one person working and waited 15 min for two drinks. Can't tell you how it tastes because still waiting.

This place has a sparkling amount of slowness; It is a great feat to be an outstanding offbeat hip place in an upbeat beach town. read more

The Good: Very cute new coffee shop in redondo beach. The inside was clean and nicely decorated with comfortable seating. The staff was very friendly. The not so good: My sister and I got 2 drinks: the aloha coffee and a strawberry matcha. My strawberry matcha tasted very watered down and I was even questioning if there was any strawberry in it ( there was a tiny hint). On top of all that, my drink was not even filled up to the top. The aloha coffee was.... Interesting. My sister couldn't say that she liked, we really just didn't know how we felt about it. I wouldn't write it off, but it's probably an acquired taste. read more

Love there Iced Tea when you have it there. It comes in a huge carafe. The owner is super cool. The food was pretty good as well.

Staff is very friendly interior is super cute and trending so however is tables are too low for comfort in terms of reaching for your drink and maybe choose a different playlist perhaps something a little calmer to match the interior vibe my 3 is based on the Matcha I ordered a little too weak from my taste personally as well as the mocha is good but very weak. read more

I come to Redondo Beach almost every day to grab a coffee and go for a walk, and over time, I've tried a cold brew from pretty much every café in the area. This place is by far my favorite. The cold brew is super smooth--strong enough to give you a nice boost but not too bitter or overpowering. It tastes great on its own, but I usually add just a splash of cream, and it's perfect. You can tell they care about the quality of their coffee here. The atmosphere is also a big part of why I keep coming back. It's cool and trendy without feeling too try-hard--lots of natural light, an open layout, and a really welcoming vibe. Whether you're hanging out with a friend or just looking for a quiet spot to chill or work, it totally works. The staff is always friendly and easygoing, which makes the experience even better. Honestly, I think I've found my new go-to coffee spot in Redondo Beach. read more

From the moment I walked into Kaffeine Coffee Bar in Redondo Beach, I knew I'd found a new favorite spot. The aroma of freshly roasted beans hits you the second you step in, and the space has that perfect balance of cozy and modern that makes you want to stay awhile. I started with an espresso, rich, balanced, and perfectly pulled, and followed it with their cold brew, which was smooth, bold, and had zero bitterness. You can tell the baristas here really care about the craft. And the pastries? Absolutely fantastic. They're from Sweet Wheat, one of my favorites, and you can taste the difference: buttery, fresh, and just the right sweetness. The atmosphere is relaxed but elevated: lots of natural light, comfortable seating, and a friendly staff that knows how to keep things moving while still making you feel welcome. It's a great spot whether you're meeting someone, catching up on emails, or just enjoying a quiet morning. What stood out most is that everything here feels intentional. The quality of the beans, the presentation, even the playlist in the background. Kaffeine doesn't try too hard; it just delivers excellent coffee, amazing pastries, and a neighborhood vibe that keeps you coming back. If you're in or around Redondo Beach and love good coffee, this place deserves a permanent spot on your rotation. Five stars all the way. read more
