    Don't order this. It's so nasty
    Beatrice R.

    I tried calling ahead to ask if they had bubble waffles and an avocado smoothie, but no one answered the phone. Based on previous Yelp photos and reviews showing both items, we decided to drive over anyway. Unfortunately when we arrived, they had neither, which was disappointing since that's mainly why we came. We ended up ordering a taho latte and a peach tea (less sweet). When we got our drinks, both were extremely sweet. The peach tea didn't taste "less sweet" at all, and the taho latte honestly didn't taste like taho. If you've had taho before, the tofu is usually very silky and soft, but this one was oddly tough and chewy. The boba also had a strange texture. Overall the drink tasted more like an overly sweet brown sugar milk tea. It was so sugary that I started feeling nauseous a few minutes after drinking it. My drink is still basically full and I'll probably end up throwing it away because it's just too sweet to finish. I really wanted to like this place, but the drinks unfortunately didn't work out for us.

    Iced banana cream coffee with almond milk

    I stumbled upon this amazing coffee house today. The wood accents and plants gave it a soft, cozy, almost luxe tea lounge feel. Matthew greeted me and was super helpful assisting me to pick out a coffee I'd like since it was my first visit. I ordered an iced banana cream coffee with almond milk. It had a banana froth on top and coffee crumbles. I usually don't order "fun" coffee, but this one had banana flavor yet kept the integrity of actual coffee. Loved it

    Banana coffee! 10/10 -- yes I was a little upset they ran out of matcha
    Tracee H.

    My co worker put me on for some banana matcha, definitely had my doubts, but I'm always down to try new boba/matcha places. Banana matcha 10/10 Was wanting to order matcha again , but they ran out and we were all like nooooo So the second day (today) my co worker got me banana coffee 10/10 -- not a coffee person lately, but it was really good! Not too strong and their banana foam just makes everything taste better. My co worker also mentioned the cashier said "matcha will be in stock this afternoon!" Literally after work I went back and pre -ordered on their app! (Download clover and search Lotus Coffee & Tea to order ahead) I ordered 2 banana matchas (for work tomorrow) , and I wanted to try their signature milk tea (ding tea previously owned) -- and yes 10/10! For me. Perfect sweetness, amount, and reasonable price! My new go to spot for matcha for work !! They also have fruit teas, milk teas, some blended drinks, coffee, etc. I'm just here for the matcha & signature milk tea lol! Their tea looks really good. I think I might try strawberry tea next :) Inside is very cute and small didn't really got to look around, also a kiosk to order? Shout out to whoever made my drinks yesterday and today

    Cute little boba shop off the 405 freeway. Easy to find, easy to get to. The self ordering kiosk is very convenient. I liked how they have to option for "easy boba." And ofc you can make adjustments on your ice and sugar level. I ordered Jasmine milk tea with light boba and my boyfriend got the black milk tea with boba. I enjoyed my drink. Upon first sip, I got the taste of the Jasmine tea which was very distinct, which I liked. I also liked the texture of the boba. It wasn't too hard or too soft and had a good chew to it. I guess my boyfriend liked his drink cos he finished it right away lol. We didn't really receive service as we ordered through the self kiosk. This shop has a cute vibe to it with mirrors and aesthetic walls to take picture.

    When it comes to affordable coffee, tea, boba, etc. with pretty damn good quality; I dig Lotus Coffee & Tea Lounge. This place is wayyyyyy better than Blenders, IMO all in all in customer service to flavor of their drinks. The ladies who work here are always really helpful, patient and they give great recommendations even when it gets busy. It's always clean and such a nice vibe in their main area near the bar, register and even inside their restrooms. Parking is shared in a small strip mall, but it's FREE. My go-to drink is their warm chai, but their other drinks aren't bad at all and are better than many other spots. I'm pretty sure I'll be updating this review again in the future once I drink more and more of the other stuff on their menu. Keep up the great speedy and quality work!!!

    Cookie butter

    This coffee taste like trash!!!! I've never had an $8 coffee taste this bad. Their customer service is literally the worst I've ever seen. They should really train their staff a little more and have them be more respectful when it comes to serving customers. I had asked if I can have a cup with extra ice and they denied me after spending eight dollars on a nasty coffee! I have to spend an extra dollar for a cup of ice when I already spent eight dollars on a coffee yeah you miss me with that one! I asked if I can get in contact with the manager due to the lack of service I received and they told me that they have no manager what company doesn't have a manager????

    I took a detour on the way to Culver Theater and accidentally picked this small shopping center. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the milk tea (Hakkaido Caramel) and the boba was soft, chewy, and warm. The constant stream of customers going through the shop is always a good indicator of their popularity. The sofa near the entrance was very comfortable, and I got a much-needed driving break.

    Cookie Butter Ice Coffee
    Joy D.

    I ordered the COOKIE BUTTER Ice coffee with oat milk. It was insanely delicious. Very much like a dessert. The service is exceptional and attentive!! Price is a bit on the high end. Overall, the drink was yummy. Parking accessible and small but new coffee shop.

    Hibiscus tea
    Judy H.

    Definitely disappointed when we decided to check this shop out. We used the kiosk and were having trouble finding our drinks. Then we were informed that they had no coffee drinks available which then explained why we were unable to find it on the kiosk. We placed two of the same drinks and they did not come out the same. We unfortunately had to send one back and it still looked different. It was lacking flavor for my friends drink while mine was fine. Highly disappointed on the lack of communication on which drinks were available.

    TAHO TARO MILK TEA
    Katrin M.

    Hidden gem in Carson! This place is soo good! Obsessed with their drinks/lattes. Everything's taste soo good but my favorite one is the Ube Taho Boba definitely reminded me of Philippines! I also love they have soo many options to choose from coffee,matcha,tea,boba . Obsessed with the new hojica menu Service is amazing! They did my drinks aesthetically pleasing and the staff were fast and very sweet. The ambiance is nice, very relaxing plenty of seating and definitely good to hang and study. I will definitely come back here to try their other drink/lattes options. What I got: Pistachio Coffee UBE Taho with Boba UBE Matcha Hojicha Einspanner

    Great drink, nice place to study!
    Andrew W.

    Great place to study! Very calm atmosphere and nice drinks and pastries! Drinks came out fast and good service.

    Michael W.

    We tried Ube coffee iced and Vietnamese coffee hot. Both have good flavor, strong enough but not overpowering. You can ask for less sweet too. Service a bit on the slow side so keep that in mind when you're in a hurry. Nice vibe and music for chilling and relaxing. It's a quite popular place with small groups of people hanging out having a good time. Plenty of parking spaces out front. Right across from IKEA.

    The Ube Matcha is really good, it's a perfect balance of ube to matcha and isn't really overpowering. Would definitely come here again !

    We found this place on accident while looking for a lunch spot. As it is in a shared strip mall,…read morethere are plenty of parking. We had two people ahead of us but we didn't wait too long to get our drinks. The workers were nice when we explained it was our first time here and needed guidance. The cafe was clean and I liked the natural wood slabs for the tables and benches. Felt like it fit the theme of natural sugar cane drinks. They don't add any sugar to it so you know you are getting all natural sugar cane liquid. The price is a bit on the high side and $3 for no ice was shocking. Once we received our drinks, I realized they fill at least half the cup with ice and do not top off. For about $7 and up, that's expensive water... My friend got the ginger sugar cane and for my review, I decided to get the natural sugar cane. It was good, tasted natural, and the ginger version wasn't overpowering with the ginger taste. If anything, it balanced the sweetness of the sugar cane. I definitely recommend ginger sugar cane over regular sugar cane.

    Best Acai bowl place I've been to yet! So crave worthy. I wish they had one where I lived. I was…read moreabout to get another bowl but the large filled me up. The menu has changed! No more pre-made bohemian bowls, but they have 4 different ones for you. The build you own seems more worth it to me, since toppings are unlimited! It's only $12.95 for the large 16oz or $9.95 for the regular 12oz. Get the big one! Such a steal and they're generous with the toppings. Super unique flavors I've never seen before like Ube and Strawberry Acai, Mango, Passionfruit, Cocao, and more! 5/5!!! My base was Coconut, Strawberry Acai, and Ube: Coconut was my favorite! So refreshing, amazing flavor, and super thick, almost like a paste? Now the Ube, actually tastes identical to the Magnolia Ube ice cream--identical, but with a cloudier texture! Bc of that, I wouldn't get it again bc I prefer a more refreshing flavor when I eat smoothie bowls, but it's so good! The first time a Ube flavor food, ACTUALLY tastes like Ube, super impressed! The strawberry tastes and has the consistency of a strawberry slushy, slightly icy--again good! But I wouldn't get it again, it'd be better as a smoothie. You order at the screen and your order is ready for pickup at the front. Super easy! There's two seating areas, which were free when we came on a weekday at noon.

It is located in a small plaza across from Galaxy Park which makes it great for post-workout or if you want to walk around a bit after eating or just casual eats. There's also a great dessert place in the area (Ken's Ice Cream Parlor). It's self-serve, but when our party got there the kiosk wasn't working (they did fix it after we ordered). The menu prices online when we searched through our phones are outdated so when we ordered at the register food was pricier than expected. However, the food was really good. -Edamame wontons are a new favorite for me! I'll have to keep an eye out if I ever see them on a menu. -El California Burrito: For some reason this took the longest to make, but not sure why. The chips were warm so maybe they made them fresh? Overall service and food was made pretty quickly. My friends got the got the Korean Tacos, Groovy Burger, and Pork Belly Banh Mi and everyone seemed to enjoy the food.

I ordered the pork belly Bahn mi and it was amazing. It had big chucks of flavorful and tender pork belly, plenty of vegies and the right amount of sauce. I especially appreciated the fact that the bread was toasted just right and ensured the sandwich didn't get soggy. I elected fries for my side and upgraded to truffle fries. They were nice and crispy and lot of cheese and truffle flavor. For my drink I tried the strawberry matcha. It was a great value, got 25% sweeet and it was perfect for me. Very refreshing. One of my coworkers ordered the El California burrito. It was pretty big and he couldn't stop raving about the huacatay crema. He even went up to the counter and asked for extra. Other members in my party ordered the Baja Bowl, Thai Chicken Curry and Saltado Peruano. Evryone loved their dishes and mentioned they cant wait to come back and try something new. The staff was very nice and attentive. The only thing was that I ordered 1st but received my order last but perhaps it take longer to make. Will be back to try the mojo cubano for sure!
