This was my first time here and I was excited to try another boba tea place! My gf and I went here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy so our drinks came out very fast! The staff were also very friendly. Normally, I order my usual boba teas but I saw they had a Grape Spritz and that looked really interesting so I decided to try it. I also ordered it with boba! I really enjoyed the drink and it was very refreshing! I also really enjoyed the grape pieces with the boba! The mixture of the grape and the carbonation was very nice also! I will say it was a little too sweet and would definitely lower the sweetness level next time but other than that, I enjoyed the drink and would get it again! I wish there was an otto tea shoppe that was closer to me because I would definitely go all the time.
Formerly a sandwich shop and was sad to hear that it's no longer here but this cafe is a lovely place. It has an organic, boho feel here. I see folks on their laptops and we chilled on their cute sofa. The woman working here is very friendly and welcoming. We ordered matchas and they were great. This is another lovely addition to the Redondo Village. Will be back again soon.
Came here with my hubby to get our caffeine fix lol. There's plenty of parking in the complex. The aesthetic inside is really nice, clean, sunny, and with a few spots to sit and enjoy your drink or get some work done. They have a good variety of drinks, plus a few seasonal options as well. I got the Earl Grey matcha latte, and my husband went with the banana cream matcha latte. Both drinks came out pretty quickly! And they were SO good. I love Earl Grey in my matcha, and Otto Tea Shoppe nailed the flavor. The matcha was earthy and a great green color. My husband really enjoyed his banana matcha (and so did I... wife tax hehe). The banana flavor was super enjoyable and clearly not artificial. I'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks!
The Earl Grey Matcha was SO GOOD. I was pleasantly shocked by how strong the earl grey flavor came out. The matcha itself had a rich green color and deeply earthy taste. A combo truly well done. Service was also pretty fast. The shop itself is cute and simple with limited seating. Luckily, there's plenty of parking available, so it's a great spot for a quick grab-and-go! Safe to say, I'll be back soon to try more of their menu :)
The boba was well cooked the brown sugar. Boba was also very good not as sweet as I expected. I asked if it was sweet and they said yes. Matcha was good as well. It was very empty and quiet.
Located in a large plaza, there's plenty of parking. We come on a Sunday afternoon and service was fine. When you walk in yours greeted by a really nice tea aroma. We got a banana cream matcha and an otto signature tea latte which were both exquisite. I really appreciated that the matcha was hand whisked to order and that the banana cream was made with actual banana bc you could definitely taste the higher quality. The otto signature latte is a Ceylon black tea that has really good tea flavor. We weren't offered adjustments when we ordered so both drinks came with their standard 75% sweetness and 70% ice which ended up being too sweet imo. If you like sweeter drinks, that's def a good sugar level, but next time, I'd get 50% with less ice. I wish I lived closer bc I'm keen on trying their other drinks. But next time I'm in the are, I'll def come back!
My go to spot in redondo beach! Their matcha is incredible and so high quality, lots of flavors to choose from and you seriously can't go wrong with any of them. My personal favorite is the earl grey. Other than matcha their fruit teas are also so refreshing and tasty, i definitely want to try their boba drinks next. The staff is so sweet and service is fast. The shop itself is cute but I will say there is limited seating but tables are available outside. Overall this shop is a 10/10!!
I drove down to Otto tea shoppe today because I had really been wanting to try their blueberry spirulina matcha latte specifically. the cafe is in a plaza with plenty of parking. when you walk in, you're greeted with a cozy atmosphere and a few spots to sit. I ordered what I came here for obviously lol, and wait time was very short, no more than 3 minutes! staff was friendly and attentive. the drink itself was pretty good, but I wish it had a bit more of the blueberry compote! I also was hoping to get that cute Otto sticker on the cup but unfortunately didn't get one )-: lastly, I would say the music when I came in was superrr loud and kind of depressing. maybe they don't want people spending that much time in there? not sure. eventually it was turned down and more upbeat music was put on but at first it was very hard to relax due to the initial songs and high volume level.
Pretty drinks and ambience, pretty taste, for a pretty penny. - The seasonal white peach oolong was lovely, and I appreciated the staff rec of popping barley boba; 50% sweet was perfect. This reminded me of a similarly tasty mochi barley drink at 3cattea, both of which are extra fun to drink/eat. - The avocado mango drink was delicious without being overly avocado-y, which I appreciated. Beware: it felt high in dairy. - not sure how the gifted blueberry matcha latte turned out, but it was beautiful Parking was busy on a Sat mid morning, so you may have to drive down a second aisle. Service was helpful and prompt, though not exceptionally warm. I would like to come back to try other drinks when I am feeling fancy. On the pricier side (7-8 each) but I think the drinks come in a large size (at least 16-24? ounces). Overall a high-quality experience. Would five 4.5 stars if I could.
Great place to stop for drinks! This drink shop is in a plaza with easy parking. Admittedly, I've only had their matcha, but that says a lot as a picky matcha drinker. I never usually try matcha at boba shops, but based on other reviews, I decided to give the earl grey oat matcha a shot on my first visit. I'm so glad I did! There aren't many good matcha options in this area, but I even returned recently to try their Super matcha (matcha latte with matcha foam) which was also delicious. Boba shops matchas tend to be pre-sweetened or of an okay quality, which is fine, but this shop's matcha is earthy, smooth, and is balanced with whatever flavor you add into it! The staff is kind and there is seating (although not a lot) both inside and outside. I'll definitely need to try a boba next time!
The last place I expected to have quality boba and tea was Redondo Beach. I would describe this place as the baby of nook, CHA REDEFINE, and HeyTea. They have an incredible selection, good prices, and the vibes are so nice in there! I saw several guests studying/working. Apparently their standard sweetness is 75%, so if you typically like to order less sweet, get 50% or less. I absolutely adored this cafe and will be back for more.
So many options it was hard to pick which drink to get! We tried the Earl Grey Matcha and Banana Cream Matcha. Both had very good matcha flavor. Since it was our first time we tried the recommended 75% sweetness but next time would definitely get 50% or lower. Couldn't taste the early grey - mostly tasted matcha and sugary milk. The banana cream was perfect - wish there was more of it throughout the drink and not just the top!
Cute, clean, and surprisingly cozy for such a small spot. I didn't expect indoor seating, but there's just enough space to grab a seat, catch up with friends, or park yourself with a laptop for a bit. What originally pulled me in were their drink photos, whoever is behind those deserves credit because they look fantastic. The menu has a nice variety: smoothies, matcha, fruit teas, and more. I was tempted by the matcha but ended up going with the lychee jasmine tea. I ordered regular sugar and, for the first time in a while, I actually thought a drink might be too sweet, maybe my sweet tooth is mellowing with age. Still, it was refreshing and delicious, and I loved getting bits of lychee with every sip. The best surprise? Near the end I realized they use whole lychee fruit, not just the usual small pieces. That little discovery genuinely made my day. Service was quick and friendly. I'd happily come back, especially to give that matcha a try.

I am definitely in my matcha era and wanted to try this place. I got the Matcha Einspanner. I knew that's what I wanted to order but when I got there, there were other drinks that sounded really good. However, I just stuck with my original order. Service is good. I was greeted and my drink came out fast. The Matcha Einspanner was ok. If I do come back, I will definitely be trying a different drink. read more

I think I found my new favorite boba shop! The quality of the tapioca is 10/10 and the drinks are amazing! I have gotten their signature milk tea and ichigo milk slush. Black Ceylon Milk Tea - 75% sugar with tapioca balls. 10/10! The perfect amount of tea and milk ratio. Perfectly sweet too. If you like it less sweet, try 50%. Ichigo Milk - I loved the freshness of both the strawberry and milk. You could taste both flavors. I drank mine so fast! Definitely a refreshing summer drink. read more

Otto is located in the Redondo Shores shopping plaza, in between Michaels and Whole Foods. The interior is minimalistic, with 2 large tables and some high chair seating against the wall. On a Sunday afternoon, there was a consistent stream of people coming in! I ordered the Island Matcha, and added the sweet foam for an additional $1. The sweet foam was thick and tasted like plain heavy cream with a twinge of added sweetness. Given the name, I felt that the sweet foam could have benefitted from extra flavoring. It was somewhat bland, and though I prefer drinks that are not too sweet, this topping fell short for me. My drink had a deep green color, so I was expecting a robust matcha flavor. However, the syrups overpowered the flavor of the tea itself. I ordered it with regular sweetness, but would advise to order it with less. It was fine to sip on, but I wouldn't order again. I'm curious to try a matcha without flavored syrups to see if the flavor of their tea will shine. As a jasmine tea lover, their latte also has my eye. I'm not in a rush to come back, but do want to give this spot its redemption arc. read more

A spot where I can get blueberry matcha is the South Bay, hooray! Blueberry matcha has been my latest obsession, and I was happy to see it on the menu at Otto Tea! There's plenty of parking in the shopping plaza lot. The shop itself is a little small. they have two tables inside and two tables outside where you can sit and enjoy your drink. I enjoyed the blueberry matcha. It has a pretty good blueberry flavor! They use blueberry compote, so there's some little pieces of blueberry at the bottom. They also use blue spirulina for the blue color. I appreciate that they use ceremonial grade matcha! I also tried some of the Thai Tea Einspanner, but I didn't think it tasted much different than a regular Thai Tea. Overall, would go back for the blueberry matcha! read more

I love their toppings. The barley popping bobas are rarely offered elsewhere. This was the first time I tried them. The brown sugar mochi jelly is not too sweet. This is a good thing. Even for someone who doesn't like match, the matcha foam on the coconut jasmine has a creamy and milky flavor, enhances the originally boring matcha flavor. I will definitely visit this place again. read more

Definitely one of my new favorite spots for boba in the South Bay! read more

This is an underrated spot in the South Bay! I came here because it was close to Jus POke, but it ended up being one of the better places I have tried in the area.

The Early Grey Matcha had aromatic earl grey and noticeably high quality matcha. I would definitely stop by again to grab a sweet treat. read more

My friend wanted to check out this new matcha place so we went on a Thursday night. There was a steady stream of customers but the wait for our drinks wasn't long at all. I was excited to try the strawberry matcha latte (one of my favorite matcha drink combos). They use ceremonial grade matcha but I noticed that the green matcha color varied between mine and other strawberry matcha lattes. Overall, the drink tasted fine but the layer of strawberry was so small that I could barely taste the strawberry. read more

The place has a few chairs for seating, but its a little small. Not much of a place to socialize and sit down. It's a small tea shop tucked away in a shopping plaza, so it's a little hard to find. The drinks are the star of the show. I ordered a Passionfruit Mango with Cloud topping. And it was refreshing and delicious. The cloud topping was milky and fluffy. Service was typical. She took my order and got it ready. read more

Otto Tea Shoppe in Redondo Beach is a lovely spot for Asian style drink lovers. They offer a great selection of drinks, and I really liked that they highlight staff favorites--it made choosing something new easy and fun. The quality of the drinks is excellent, and the staff is friendly and helpful with recommendations. The sitting area is quaint, making it a nice place to gather and enjoy your drink. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the area. read more

Went here a couple weeks ago with my friends and this was when they were still soft-opening. I got the Island Matcha and they got Banana Matcha. I didn't really like my drink because that coconut syrup and macadamia was strong and sweet. Definitely would prefer coconut water over syrup. My friends thought their drinks were okay as well. It did take some time to get our drinks because there were only 2 staff members working with a lot of orders coming in after the other. The location is also hard to find because it was in such an obscure place. If i came again, i would definitely try other drinks instead. read more

Stopped by Otto Tea Shoppe and tried a couple of their specialty drinks. I ordered the lychee jasmine fruit tea with regular sugar. The lychee flavor came through nicely and paired well with the jasmine tea. It was refreshing and well balanced, though next time I'd probably go with half sugar to adjust it more to my preference. We also had the blueberry spirulina matcha, which was really good. The combination of blueberry, spirulina, and matcha came together smoothly without being overly sweet. It felt balanced and clean, with the matcha still coming through. Overall, a solid tea spot in Redondo Beach if you're looking for something a little different from a standard milk tea. read more
