    Milk tea with cheese foam, and Thai tea with taro purée and boba.
    Brooke B.

    My friend and I had a great time here today. Mid-day on a Saturday it's popular but the calm vibe remained as people came and went. I loved my Thai tea taro drink with boba! I got 75% sweet which helped it not be overwhelmingly sweet, and the boba pearls aren't very sweet either imo. I look forward to coming back!

    My friend recommended this place, and it has become my must-visit café whenever I go to Redondo Beach. Since it's summer, I've been going there a lot. The interior is super cute with cat-themed decor everywhere and a swing where you can take fun pictures. And the drinks are amazing. Truly, the drinks are the highlight. Iris is my favorite person there. She really knows the menu and can recommend something even if you only have a vague idea of what you want. You know those moments when you're standing there not sure what to order and just say, "I don't know"? Iris is like a drink psychologist. She'll ask questions like whether you're in the mood for a smoothie or a fruit tea and guide you from there. My favorite drink is the strawberry blend with cheese foam, 25 percent sweetness, and a tea base. It tastes real, not artificial, and the balance of flavors is just perfect.

    First time here visiting and I got the grapefruit tea. The inside was pretty spacious so great place to catch up with friends or hang out. My order came out pretty quick and overall it was a good boba drink. Parking can be a bit difficult as it's on a busy highway and limited space.

    The Service: Love the customer service! Sara was taking our order & preparing our drinks. She definitely knows how to multitasking. Super efficient! The Store: I bet the owner loves cats, the decorations & art work on the walls are so adorable. So many photos zone spots! Lots of seating inside the store. Great place to hangout. The Drinks: Their drinks are colorful. The flavors are creative. I like fruity flavors. My favorites are Strawberry Cheese foam & Mango Coconut. So refreshing! Not overly sweet. If you have sweet tooth, try the Oreo Boba Fresh Milk. It's totally a dessert drink. The Parking: Parking structure close by (1800 S. Pacific Coast Hwy). Free retail parking!

    Came here after fellowship as it's the only tea place that was still open at this hour and a brother was craving for hot tea so here we are, late Friday night. I'm really happy to learn that there's free parking inside the building as for the longest time I thought it was for residents only for some reason. Now that I'm aware of this, I'll be visiting this plaza more frequent!!! The shop itself is nice and cute. They have very limited hot drinks so that was a bit disappointed. He got the hot Thai milk tea and i was unable to find anything hot that I would enjoy so decided to try the mango milk tea. Because my friend decided to order the drink 25% sugar, it prompted me to order mine 50% (big mistake). He enjoyed his drink but mine was definitely lacking. I would recommend ordering the mango milk tea normal sugar level. Next time! I like how the drink came with actual bits of mango, that's refreshing. I heard from the girl working there that taro milk tea is the same way. I'm definitely coming back to try that. I also love the fact that they have many snacks available but wish their selections were more catered to their drinks. There were nothing that matched the drinks which was quit disappointing. Overall: loved the service and the chill ambient. It was pretty empty by the time we got there but it's almost closing time and it was appreciated. I live close by so I'll be back soon to try more drinks and maybe suggest some snacks that would match your drinks :)

    Creme brûlée strawberry bubble waffle

    Haven't been down PCH in a while so decided to take a stroll around. Parking: There's a free parking structure at 1800 S PCH. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with a decent amount of indoor seating and very limited outdoor seating. I love the kitty art on the walls and furniture! Sooo cute! Perfect spot for a boba date or simply hangout with friends & family. I visited around 16:00, and they were consistently busy. Service: There were only two workers. Shout out to them for holding it down. It was busy, but they were quick & efficient. Drinks & dessert: 1) See-side (green Thai milk tea) - This is one of their newer drinks. The color looked great, though I thought the flavor was very light. Maybe steep the tea a bit longer? 2) Thai Milk Tea w/ Taro - This is one of the employee's favorites. It looked aesthetically fun and tasted even better! The Thai tea and taro mixed well together. 3) Vietnamese iced coffee - This is 2/2 newer drinks. As someone who grew up drinking Vietnamese coffee, this was okay. It's not strong or bold like a viet coffee should be. It wasn't sweet either .. I mainly tasted milk. 4) Mango Lime Tea w/ boba - Now this was refreshing! All the flavors came through! The boba tasted as expected and not too chewy. 5) Creme Brûlée & Strawberries bubble waffle - Perfect to satisfy a sweet craving! The creme brûlée drizzle was sooo delicious! Pricing: Prices are reasonable. I love the ambiance here. The bubble waffles were delicious. Some drinks can use an adjustment, but I'd come back to try their other drinks.

    Cat decor

    This place is so cute with the cat mural and floral swing bench!! Good open space too I wanted to come here for their delicious looking waffle but when we came i was too full sadly :( so i just got the cheesefoam matcha. I was delicious! Good matcha quality and excellent foam. The woman who took our order was very friendly! She explained the rewards program to us since we were first timers. I really cant wait to come back and try the waffle. I do not live near here at all so trust me when i say ill come out of my way. If youre local, dont miss this place!

    Cuteeeee

    Cute little tea shop in Redondo Beach. A bit of a drive for me so I would only come out if I am in the area. All their drinks are made with fresh ingredients and milk. I like how you can taste that it is not processed. My fave is their hong kong waffles. Its crispy and warm. The Nutella one with strawberry is a little thicker than i like with the Nutella but still good. My fave drink is their first love mixed fruit tea and their version of Vietnamese ice coffee. Inside has a swing bench and decorated like a cat cafe. Nice study and work spot,

    Real love

    From the moment you walk into this tea spot, you're welcomed to a charming decor of cats. It's a very inviting atmosphere that puts you in a pleasant mood. We had two drinks, which were both delicious. The Mango Coconut milk tea w/ sago was tasty. The mango flavor paired well with the coconut and sago added a zest and texture to the drink. We also had the Real Love, which was essentially a strawberry and peach tea. You can't go wrong with these almost universally beloved flavors, so it's no surprise that it was also pretty good. Although I'm not in Torrance too often, you can bet that this spot would a good choice when in the area

    Cute store with an amazing ambiance. The workers were so friendly, and the drinks were pretty good tasting as well! Definitely worth a try, and the free parking is such a rarity in the area.

    The food was 10/10. The puffle was delightful. The drinks were yummy too. I think I got the love potion one. Not too sweet. And boba was cooked well. The place is clean and the server was so nice. My friends and I had a grand time.

    Anjeline R.

    Stopped by after the beach and had a great experience! The people were super friendly and the boba was delicious. I should have gotten a large. The artwork of the kitties on the wall was so so cute as well. The whole place was adorable. When I'm back in the area, I would definitely go back.

My go-to order is a simple guarana bowl with granola on the bottom and top, bananas, and extra honey. When everything is fresh, it's honestly one of the best açaí bowls around. The only reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is that the quality can be a little inconsistent at times. Occasionally the granola doesn't taste as fresh (or maybe they switch to a different kind), and since it's such a big part of the bowl, it noticeably affects the overall flavor and texture. Still, when they get it right, it's excellent. I will bump this review to 5 stars if I see an improvement in consistency during my next few visits.

At this point, I'm very familiar with what a great bowl should taste like and what the proper preparation looks like when everything is done correctly. Recently, however, the experience has become hit or miss. It really seems to depend on who is working that day, and I can now fairly accurately tell early on whether I'm going to get a well-made bowl or something more mediocre. That level of inconsistency is disappointing for a place I've supported so consistently over the years. I usually avoid leaving negative reviews because I do want to support this business, but it's been hard to ignore the change in consistency. Today, unfortunately, my experience included both attitude and a bowl that I honestly would have preferred to toss. Hassan, I truly hope this feedback is helpful. Your place makes by far the best Acai bowls if done right!!!! This has been my ONLY favorite spot for years, and I'd love to see it maintain the level of consistency it used to have. I'm sharing this because I want the business to continue thriving.
