You can tell there is so much culture and thought behind the space. The coffee selection is great, and the staff made the experience feel even more welcoming. It's a perfect spot to enjoy a good cup of coffee, relax, study, or simply spend some quiet time. Definitely a hidden gem and a place I'll be coming back to!

There's a lot I want to say about this spot but I'm a try and keep it short lol…read more My first time visiting was this past Sunday, May 31st. I had my whole day planned out with a list of events to attend but first I wanted to stop by Patria and grab some coffee to start my morning off. Located in a parking lot next to Wilson Park on Compton Blvd and Alameda Street you'll find this nice cut lawn in front of this small white building, Patria Coffee Roaster. Depending on your time of arrival, the parking lot can be full but it's cool cuz there's also street parking available. I was able to park in the lot. After walking in I was welcomed and greeted with positive energy from 2 young ladies who I forgot their names but we'll just call them "A" and "C" lol. A guy to my right was sitting next to the window working on his laptop. And two others against the wall sipping their coffees and doing whatever on their phones. A customer was at the register ordering while another customer walked in to stand in line behind me. I let her go in front of me while I took pics and recorded footage. I like the atmosphere and space a lot. It has a very nice decor. Artwork, pictures and murals with history displayed along the walls. Grab and cold drinks available for purchase. Nice music playing that wasn't too loud but just right to complement a chill coffee shop vibe. "A" was friendly and patient as shared with her this was my first visit. As I browsed thru the coffee menu before making my selection I noticed more costumes coming in. I ordered a medium sized Americano which is $3.75 but I requested to add some hazelnut creamer as well as some almond milk which totaled out to $4.75 which was quite exceptional to me. Giving the location, the quality of service and the quality of the coffee. Not to mention to overall experience. I even thru in a $1 tip. I support the business and love the space. It feels welcoming and safe. The restroom was clean. They also have many different events held there. If you're ever in the area definitely pull up and check em' out. It's black owned as well. I actually ended up sitting there in the lot sipping my coffee while working on my video to post on social media. The coffee was good and tasteful. Didn't need any sugar. Great vibes and great coffee. You can even go the park right next door and get your steps in or just chill. I definitely recommend coming here. If you're passing thru the area or coming to the city, do yourself a favor and pull up. Check em' out. Grab you a coffee or something. Prices are reasonable and the community is welcoming to all individuals.

Don't let the look fool you; it's not a sugar cookie, and it is SUPER dry and tasted stale. I definitely wouldn't recommend that particular item. However, almost everything else here is fantastic! -Cookies: Skip the shortbread and go for their delicious chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies instead. -Cakes: Their banana walnut, chocolate, carrot, coconut, and strawberry cakes are all absolute winners. -Buns: Their cinnamon walnut buns are quite literally the best. (Pro tip: I skip the extra frosting because they are already sweet enough on their own!) Despite the cookie slip-up, this place is still wonderful and well worth visiting."

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.

There are tables and chairs to sit inside to wait or use to study.

And the time we waited for two drinks was 28 minutes from the time we got in line, (with no one ahead of us in line) not worth it at all The girls were friendly but they were not efficient in service. They advertise chisme in form of little post it notes but you can't actually write any chisme in yourself. They might have run out of post it notes but who knows. The coffee shop was pretty and low lit which I appreciate but it was very small and felt kind of cluttered. They have outdoor seating tho. Paid $18.58 just to toss my coffee in the trash.... Im a bit of a coffee snob so please take this review with a grain of salt.

Super chill spot that is big on community!…read more Location/Parking: located near a bunch of other small businesses in Gardena. You'll be able to find free street parking somewhere on the block. Service: there was just one guy that was there when I went (who I assumed to be the owner) and he was super helpful and kind. Very welcoming and easy to talk to! Vibes: chill, funky, casual spot to just vibe at. I believe there is a hangout spot in the back of the store, but I didn't have the chance to check it out-- I'll have to check it out next time. Drink: That peach cobbler matcha was absolutely delicious. I downed it so fast because it was so good! It legitimately tasted like there was a peach cobbler in my matcha. So good. Not too sweet, just the right amount of cinnamon, and the peach worked well with the matcha. I appreciate good food and drinks, but even more than that I appreciate excellent service and a hospitable host. Good Coffee has both of these things which is why I highly recommend it and will definitely be back for that peach cobbler matcha!
