    Green Thai Milk Tea
    Raina T.

    Craving some milk tea, we stopped by Mellow Tea Studio to try their Green Thai Milk Tea. The staff member was friendly and prepared my drink promptly. The interior was simple and clean, with a cute wall filled with cat artwork that added a nice touch. While I enjoyed everything up to that point, I was unfortunately disappointed once I tasted the milk tea. It ended up tasting very watered down, almost like diluted milk, and lacked the bold tea flavor I was expecting. In hindsight, I probably should have asked for a remake or requested it to be stronger, by the time I took a sip we were already on our way to our next stop. If I do come back, I would try something else and hope for a better and stronger drink experience next time.

    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.

    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!

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    I'm still amazed at their efficiency over the years. OHOP is like a well oiled machine that…read morejust... works and they clearly have their system down. We came here today (Saturday) @ 10am. We were seated pretty quickly, but the true magic came when we were seated - despite every table seated and a crowd of people waiting outside. Our server Verenice was amazing. She was super attentive/ quick, friendly and even did something a lot of servers miss (spotted an incorrect plate and had it sent back and redone immediately before even bringing it out to us). 10/10 service from her. Additionally, I think this is fairly obvious (by the wait times) but the pancakes are amazing. There's a reason why people keep coming here and it's always crowded. Must try place if you've never been.

    Birthday breakfast is a tradition in our family, so we came to The Original Pancake House in…read moreRedondo Beach to celebrate my husband's birthday. We got there around 9 and, thankfully, didn't have much of a wait before being seated. The place was semi packed but well lit and noise level was tolerable for our baby. I ordered soft scrambled eggs with hash browns and bacon. I'm VERY particular about my eggs because most places hear "soft scrambled" and still somehow serve them overcooked. They got mine right the first time! Soft just like I asked, crispy hash browns on the side, and good bacon. Simple breakfast, but exactly what I wanted. My husband went a little bigger and ordered the Apple Pancake, which is oven-baked with fresh apples and a cinnamon glaze. When they brought it out, it looked GOOD. Unfortunately, after a couple bites, he realized it wasn't for him. It had a really eggy taste that took over the pancake and cinnamon flavor. Our waitress was super sweet about it and offered to switch it out for French toast. Much better choice for him. He really enjoyed that. We also had regular pancakes at the table, and of course we had to do a birthday pancake with chocolate chips, whipped cream, and a candle. Gotta keep the tradition going! Overall, we had a really nice birthday breakfast. What stood out most was the service. They got my picky egg order right and when my husband didn't care for his meal, there was no issue getting him something he actually enjoyed. We'll definitely be back.

Friendly fun staff! With awesome service.

    Great Food, Outstanding Service & A Fantastic Family-Friendly Experience…read more Bruxie was such a pleasant experience, and what really stood out to me wasn't just the food--it was how welcoming, attentive, and accommodating the staff were throughout our entire visit. We came in as a family, and the staff did an excellent job making sure we were comfortable while we waited for our food. They checked on us several times to make sure everything was okay, and I especially appreciated how they went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable for our family. They provided coloring materials and games for us to play while we waited, which was such a thoughtful touch. Those little details make a huge difference when you're dining with kids. Instead of feeling like we were simply waiting around for our food, it actually gave us something fun to do together as a family. The service was genuinely friendly without feeling forced. Everyone we interacted with was helpful, patient, and attentive, and they made us feel like they actually cared about our experience. That level of hospitality deserves to be recognized because great customer service can really elevate an otherwise casual meal. And then there was the food! I ordered the Breakfast Burrito with fried chicken, and it was absolutely loaded. Bruxie's breakfast burrito comes packed with eggs, melted cheddar, spiced tots, chipotle mayo, Bruxie cheese sauce, and your choice of protein, and choosing the fried chicken was definitely the right move. (Toast) The fried chicken was cooked superbly. It had a great crispy exterior while still being juicy and flavorful on the inside. What I really enjoyed was how well the chicken worked with the other ingredients in the burrito. You had the richness of the cheese, the texture and seasoning from the tots, the creaminess of the sauces, and the savory fried chicken all coming together in every bite. The burrito was also generously filled, so this wasn't one of those breakfast burritos where you get mostly tortilla with a little filling in the middle. There was plenty of everything, and the flavors actually complemented one another instead of competing. The combination of crispy fried chicken, eggs, cheese, potatoes, and the sauces made it incredibly satisfying. I also appreciate that Bruxie offers a menu that feels fun and different rather than just another standard breakfast or chicken restaurant. Their whole concept revolves around putting creative spins on comfort food, particularly chicken and waffles, while also offering breakfast burritos, chicken sandwiches, tenders, shakes, and other options. (Bruxie) Overall, Bruxie delivered on both the food and the experience. The breakfast burrito was flavorful, filling, and cooked extremely well, but the staff really made the visit memorable. The fact that they took the time to check on us, make sure we had what we needed, and even provide coloring activities and games for the family showed a level of thoughtfulness that you don't always get at a casual restaurant. If you're looking for a spot where you can get some seriously good comfort food while still having a family-friendly and welcoming experience, Bruxie is definitely worth checking out. Great food. Great service. Great family atmosphere. And that fried chicken breakfast burrito is absolutely worth trying.

This coffee shop is in partnership with a sister cafe called La Terraza Cafe located in the City Terrace area of East Los Angeles. [Parking]: Street parking only, but I had no issue finding a nearby spot. [Ambiance]: The coffee shop has a monthly pop-up bookstore (Moonstone & Mist) on the last Friday of each month at the storefront (check their Instagram page for more info). There are five tables and one sofa inside the shop and seven outdoor tables. The space has a nice and cozy atmosphere with soothing background music from Rod Stewart and The Rolling Stones. There is one unisex restroom. [Menu]: The top highlighted dishes are French Toast, Breakfast Burrito, and Avocado Toast. I asked the staff about popular drinks and the horchata latte was recommended so I went with it. They serve coffee from La Colombe Coffee Roasters. They also offer various Mexican-inspired drinks like café de olla, Mexican mocha, and matcha de olla. *** Breakfast Burrito ($10.50 - Avocado $2.50 + Bacon $2.00): The filling had a crunchy texture from the bacon which was nice. The salsa had an a-okay flavor profile, but it had the right amount of heat. Horchata Latte (hot 12 oz, $6.75): The drink was quite good with just the right amount of sweetness. *** A solid 4.5-star on latte and a 4-star on breakfast burrito. Overall this is a nice 1st date spot in Redondo Beach as the beach walk is only two blocks away.
