    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    There aren't too many good boba spots in the South Bay, but this one definitely meets standards. Parking is pretty easy as it's in a big lot shared with other businesses. I ordered the Lychee Green Tea with Boba and my friend order the Strawberry Blended with Boba. Both were really good and the flavors were distinct. Definitely one of my new favorite spots for boba in the South Bay!

    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.

    Avocado Mango Smoothie and Earl Grey Matcha

    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. I got the Avocado Mango and the Earl Grey Matcha. Both were stellar choices. The Avocado Mango had great fresh fruit flavors. The Early Grey Matcha had aromatic earl grey and noticeably high quality matcha. I would definitely stop by again to grab a sweet treat.

    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!

    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.

    Ichigo Milk (Strawberry)
    Brianne K.

    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.

    i've enjoyed all drinks i've tried here. their teas with salted cream on top are very refreshing and give you the perfect option if you want a creamier drink that isn't too heavy. their boba is decent as well. service has always been amazing and drinks come out very quick. it is a TINY bit pricier than other places but are of very good quality. they have great matcha as well. love the earl grey matcha. drinks are a bit sweeter so i liked to go for 50-75% usually

    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.

I had a coffee, which was good and hit the spot, and my friend ordered the grilled cheese with a fruit plate - simple, comforting, and nicely done. Service was good and staff friendly. One cool detail out front is a small wishing tree where you can hang tags, which adds a fun, thoughtful touch to the place. The gift shop next door was bright and festive, perfect for the holidays, and a great spot to pick up some last-minute, unique gifts you don't see everywhere. Overall, a really pleasant café and shop combo that's worth checking out.

I'm an adult woman, almost 48, and I don't appreciate being told how I should behave in a disrespectful way. At one point, an employee even told me not to talk to other customers--even when they were the ones starting conversations with me. That felt like bullying. Thankfully, that employee is no longer there, but the overall attitude still hasn't fully improved. I've been bringing my two dogs with me for a long time without any issues. Recently, I was told I can't use the bathroom anymore--even just to quickly wash my hands before eating. I understand rules about dogs not being allowed in certain areas, and that was explained properly, but the way everything was handled felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. Because of this shift in attitude, I've noticed other customers have stopped coming as well, like Alex and Trisha. Some people have even mentioned that the overall environment and customer treatment aren't as good as they used to be. It's disappointing, because this used to be a place I really liked. Now it feels like the attitude has changed, and not in a good way.

Not sure what it is or if its me personally for whatever reason, but, despite being super friendly 100% of the time, the owner just acts kind of rude and unfriendly to me for literally no reason at all. I promise I don't smell bad and I brush my teeth before I come. I smell really good. I promise! I think the owner is probably on some hipster nonsense bs energy. Cool man...yeah man... It's a shame because its literally the owner who is the rude one in my experience, not any of his staff. His staff never gives me any of his same stinky vibes. P.U. dude... Sorry, but I don't need to feel tension or your bad energy when I'm paying you like $7 for a flat white that takes you 30 seconds to make for me. Sorry to be such a big bother for asking about some of your food items to see if they are vegan so I could possibly pay you more money to buy a food product from you. SORRY FOR TRYING TO SUPPORT YOUR BUSINESS BY GIVING YOU BUSINESS WITH MY MONEY!!! SORRY!!! Okay?!! :( When you started rolling your eyes or exhaling that passive aggressive breath out because I was such a bother to you, it was in that moment, yesterday morning, that I left Gitana knowing that I wouldn't come back. From now on, I'll go buy the $7 flat white at Caffe Luxxe in MB located the exact same distance from my place. They do not have delicious food like you do, but they also don't have any of your attitude. Positive attitude to your friendly customers is WAY MORE IMPORTANT than sticking to your pretentiousness and icky, terrible vibes. Sorry if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and decided to be Oscar the Grouch to me while I was Elmo. Elmo sad now. Elmo REAL SAD. :( :( :( Caffe Luxxe it is because, even though I kind of like your café better, I like being treated with respect WAY MORE than I will ever like your coffee. It is what it is...
