Superb coffee cafe in the heart of El Segundo with a ton of charm, great service and good coffee;…read morenot the best I've ever had but good and worth the stop. If you've got some downtime before picking people up from the LA airport and feel like waiting in a relaxing environment then I strongly suggest coming here. It was an 8 minute drive to the main terminal. Parking was a little tricky although try parking in the backside of the building as there's also a back entrance to the coffee shop. Give it a try, I definitely will.

And it's always a toss up whether we're gonna have a good experience or not. There are times where everything goes smoothly. But days like today seem to be the norm: where the morning crew are too grumpy to engage and rather drink their own coffee before asking if there is a problem. Unlike the afternoon, the workers don't announce the orders are ready and none of the orders have the names of who the order belongs to. Today was the worst experience ever and we won't be coming here before work. The matcha latte my friend order was rushed when the barista realized she never made the order and it tasted so bad. Morning crew: do better. This place is really decent and the vibe is majority of the time great. But yall make it hard to want to come back.

Unfortunately this was a pretty disappointing visit to Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf…read more The biggest issue was the speed of service. It took much longer than expected just to get a basic order, even though it didn't seem especially busy. Waiting wouldn't have been as frustrating if the experience at the counter had been a bit more welcoming, but the service felt pretty unfriendly and rushed. The environment also didn't leave a great impression. The space felt a bit dirty and grimy overall, especially around the seating and counter areas. When a café is somewhere people want to sit and relax, cleanliness really matters, and this location could definitely use more attention there. Hoping this was just an off day, but based on this visit it's hard to feel excited about coming back.

They also offer you additional seating in the back and it's quite the place to relax, play games and/or do work. Now the drinks: I had ordered a strawberry matcha and a hazelnut latte (they probably have different names for this but it's what i remember) and their banana nut matcha. They were decent a high 8. Overall a solid 9.

The speciality matcha drink I got wasn't good, and the lack of AC is probably the worst part. Very muggy and stuffy and unless you sat right by the fans/portable AC unit they had, would start sweating. Had to step outside because it was cooler than indoors. Wouldn't return because of how uncomfortably hot it was unless the AC just happened to be broken that day.

The service was fast but not rushed. Immediately about to sit and put my bags down the server already dropped a menu off and a glass pitcher of water. The menu was pretty extensive but I went with the tuna melt and BOY it did NOT disappoint. The tuna melt was incredible. The flavor was on point, pretty hardy. I got the choice between fries or fruit and got the fruit. I don't think the sandwich took more than 10 minutes to get out. Fresh and hot. Had two cups of coffee, kind of wish I got something from the baristas- the drinks looked fantastic. 10/10 would go back. I wish I would've taken a picture but honestly was way too hungry to remember. Must try!!

One of the first things I noticed is that their tv screen menu only showed photos of the drinks and didn't have the price listings. Nevertheless despite not having the prices listed, it was nice to be able to have a visual of what their drinks looked like. It was the Pink Perks Iced Coffee that caught my eye. I couldn't help noticing the pretty in pink drink and the barista described it to me as a strawberry latte. I found the Pink Perks Iced Coffee to be refreshing drink. It had just the right coffee flavor with a hint of strawberry. I was hoping for a bit more strawberry sweetness but it was still nonetheless a good drink. Overall I was happy to visit and discover this little coffee shop.

I'm a Peet's man now! CB&T is DEAD to me. Never again.

If you like a sweet latte and honey- GET THAT ONE!! ITS SO GOOD! For food, they have avocado toasts and light bites. They even had a variety of yogurts and chia puddings. As a gluten free person, this was a HUGE SCORE! Great spot to study or read a book. Lots of plants and seating options. Would be suitable for a group. Staff were kind and very patient. I had my dog with me and they gave her a pup cup. Dogs are welcome in the outside seating area, and they didn't mind that I brought her in when I ordered. I was able to find parking up the street but there's also a parking structure behind the building, next to Hotel June.

I got the iced matcha latte, hubby got cocoa puff cold brew and shaded a lox bagel. Service is friendly and got everything within 10 min. Matcha wasn't the best I've had but creamy and decent flavor. Hubbys cocoa cold foam was good chocolaty. Lox bagel has generous smoked salmon, bagel was soft and chewy. Overall good food and vibe. Maybe I'll try the coffee here next time.

The Pink Berry Smoothie was so refreshing and fruity, especially on a hot day. And the Passion Fruit Mango Tea was bright and refreshing, with actual bits of mango throughout for an extra burst of flavor. Beyond the drinks, I love the relaxed environment here. It's a great spot to hang out with friends, catch up, or even get some work done. The customer service is amazing, too--friendly, attentive, and welcoming every time. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to!

MAI Coffee & Tea House is a modern fusion tea shop that specializes in Vietnamese coffee / Japanese…read morematcha / Taiwanese tea. This tea house was founded by Chef Nam and is a sister shop of NAM Kitchen. As others have pointed out, their pink colored takeout cup for hot drinks looks like a copycat version of Molly Tea's cup and the logo for MAI looks very similar to Chagee's logo. [Parking]: The tea house is located inside Pacific Square Shopping Center in Gardena and there's plenty of parking space within the lot. [Ordering]: There are two kiosks to place an order. No waiting line on a weekday afternoon. [Setting]: Plenty of indoor and outdoor tables with K-pop music playing in the background. [Menu]: Some of the top highlighted items include Pistachio Bun, Babanana Coffee, Strawberry Matcha, Double Matcha, Ube Cream Coffee, etc. For milk options, the tea house uses Straus Organic Milk. The morning menu (8 AM to 11 AM) only includes coffee and matcha and the full drink menu is available after 11 AM. *** Double Matcha (green tea organic milk swirled with velvety matcha cream foam - Straus organic milk & less ice - $8.00): Passable drink, but it didn't taste as strong as other Double Matcha drinks I have had in Koreatown. The latte portion tasted a bit watery. The drink also didn't appear to have less ice despite having picked the less ice option. *** An a-okay option for anyone who's craving matcha but doesn't want to drive out of the way to Koreatown. I had too high of an expectation for this tea house and there are better matcha options in the South Bay.
