Get 2nd Street vibes out of your head. If you want good coffee and solid pastries then this is a spot to visit. There's not a lot of seating inside but enough to accommodate a few small groups. They do have a nice little patio out back if you have dogs with you and it has parking as well. All in all a solid spot good drinks and pastries which is what you're coming here for. I got the matcha tonic, it's very refreshing just make sure to mix it well. My partner got a capuchino. I don't remember what pastries we got but I remember it was nice and savory.

This review is based on my experience with this coffee shop from August of this year when I moved…read moreinto the neighborhood until today. I was beyond excited to make it my local go to but it has just been consistently terrible service. I wish that was an exaggeration but today I ordered, gave it 20 minutes, arrived at the shop.... Ticket never even printed or looked at. Last week, same. Week before, same. You get the picture here I believe 1 single time my order was ready. On top of that, I once ordered coffee on a Monday morning on the way to work which I never do and arrived to a closed shop. I tried calling for over an hour and got no answer. Two hours later I finally get a hold of the manager who apologizes about having no staff. No problem mistakes happens instead of a refund I just asked to swing by and grab another coffee. Manager then tells me "COME BY AT _____ DATE AND I WILL BE THERE AND PERSONALLY GET THAT FOR YOU." I showed up. The manager couldn't be bothered. And yet I kept trying

A little disappointed. Came in expecting a cortado to be about 4-5 dollars, menu said 4.69 which…read moreisn't terrible. I asked for a cortado with normal milk, 2% or whatever they had. Then the price popped up and said $5.80, it ended up being over 7$ with tip which I think is kind of insane for a double shot with some milk. After some looking at other pictures on Yelp and Google it turns out they charge extra for normal dairy milk and oat milk is no extra charge. I feel like this should've been mentioned to me at the register, the standard for most cafes I've been to is to charge extra for plant based options. I love oat milk in my coffee but not enough to be charged extra so I normally just go for dairy milk. The cortado was ok. I think espresso shot could've been pulled a little better but I'm picky, price aside I would get it again. I just wish the milk pricing thing would be made more clear. I liked the vibe of the place it smelled pretty nice.

The chai latte I ordered tasted great, if a bit sweet, I'll ask if I can adjust that should I come back. The 2 pastries I ordered were just okay, but each cost more than the drink I ordered. I would just stick to the coffee and teas IMHO. If vibes and customer service is more important to you, than this place is right up your alley. Might stop by again just for a latte, but little else.

I usually don't like these spritzer coffee drinks but the coffee base was really nice and smooth. I liked it so much that I came back and bought some grounds as a birthday gift for my brother! You can buy their grounds online as well. The prices are fair. The menu is simple and straight forward. The bad: They're only located in farmer's market. They should open a store front! The interesting: There was a sign that explained what Haya meant (sorry, forgot what it was), but at the time, my Japanese nanny said that Haya didn't mean that in Japanese.

The cortado was smooth and very spot on. I'd recommend it to anyone. Pastries were very delicious, muffins were full of nuts not just on top but in every bite and they come from an amazing nonprofit organization. That Bánh mì sandwich had a bread that tasted so fresh, good-quality, soft inside with the perfect crunch on the outside. Spanish latte was just okay for me; I wasn't a huge fan of the syrup they used, and it didn't have any cinnamon (not sure if I needed to ask for it). Customer service: It did take a little while to get served and get my order down but totally worth the wait. Most busy places would notice you and say, we will be with you in a minute, but here I had two girl in the back notice me and kept working on drinks and other kept cleaning, Shoutout to Ethan who was an awesome barista who saw me and had great customer service. Overall though, this place checks so many boxes we'll definitely be back.

The staff is friendly and quick This is unique coffee shop, when the owner is there he'll open the car garage to view cars. Definitely worth the 15 min drive from my home.

Back home it's mostly Vietnamese coffee, which I love... but one of those almost sent me into an anxiety spiral with the caffeine, so I needed something more civilized this morning. This spot hit the mark. Low-key location, easy in and out, no crowds--just coffee. The people were friendly and clearly knew what they were doing. While I was sitting there browsing and trying to smell the coffee through the little vent like a weirdo, they casually mentioned the beans had been roasted yesterday. That told me everything I needed to know. Started with a drip--simple, solid, priced right. Then I rolled the dice on a peanut butter latte, which most places completely mess up. This one didn't. Still tasted like coffee, not a melted candy bar. I also grabbed some ceremonial matcha green tea powder to go, which was legit and not an afterthought. Behind the shop there are some race cars or high-end sports cars tucked into a garage space, which was kind of perfect. This is the third coffee shop I've seen operating out of a garage setup, and honestly, if that's how you keep rent down and spend the money on good beans (or fast cars), I respect it. You can also see the roasting machine while you wait, which is always cool. They've got a couple of benches outside if you want to sit and actually enjoy your coffee instead of chugging it in traffic. Bottom line: good coffee, good people, no ego. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. Easy go-to in North Long Beach.

The Boy & The Bear is a popular local coffee shop in Redondo Beach (just across from Eat at Joe's)…read morewith local customers often bringing their kids or dogs. Oddly enough their logo reminds me of the logo from Boba Guys. The shop was originally rebranded from The Fika Company and this Redondo Beach location is the flagship store. The Boy & The Bear places a strong emphasis on store design and each location is named after a different color as this one is called the Black Store. Currently, they have multiple locations in Los Angeles (Redondo Beach, Culver City, Westchester, Pasadena, Sherman Oaks, and Gardena) with new shops opening in South Pasadena (Summer 2026) and Little Italy in San Diego (Summer 2026). [Parking]: Metered parking on N Francisca Ave. Otherwise visitors will need to circle around for local street parking. [Atmosphere]: Spacious indoor seating (about five tables) and a bar table & 5-6 small outdoor bench tables and additional cozy outdoor seating. [Menu]: A straightforward coffee menu with only three syrup flavors: mocha, vanilla, and caramel. They also offer teas and various croissants. *** Vanilla latte (to-go & hot - $7.50): No latte art - just a simple hot vanilla latte. It was a solid latte with the right amount of sweetness. *** A nice coffee shop in the South Bay with a good first-date vibe and above-average drinks, but beware of the parking situation.

Great…read moreFilipino-owned coffee shop in Carson, Ca (it might as well be Filipino town ) beans mostly sourced out of the Philippine farmers highlighting one of its wonderful natural resources: COFFEE. Check out "Barako"-known to the people of Pampanga as a "strong, robust cup of kape", at least my mom & dad would say over & over as we were growing up. This shop is spacious, clean, modern , formerly occupied by another coffee shop, Greendoor. TCC features Filipino coffee culture, supporting the hardworking Filipino farmers. The beans are roasted in-house, its humble beginnings of roasting in the proprietor's (Ron Dizon) garage. Barako is the inspiration, Liberia cultivar. My parents would often reminisce that it is the best coffee they've ever tasted, drinking it black. Teofilo was the patriarchal namesake, Ron's maternal grandfather. His very strong work ethic was embedded into the fabric of this coffee shop. Proud Filipino culture in every cup. The space faces the Carson Civic Center with ample, free parking. One can easily spend some time at their comfortable indoor & outdoor seating. High ceiling, modern music playing in the background, it's an ideal place to hang out do some work or just chill and enjoy a cup of kape. Staff are amiable & helpful Whether you enjoy your coffee black, hot or cold, this shop offers innovative flavors for beverages that are Filipino- inspired &/or pair it with baked goods (sourcing local bakers like Gemmae Bakery), it's worth trying. Plus, it helps support the small business owner & the Philippines coffee farmers.

They specialize in serving coffee sourced from the Philippines. Teofilo Coffee Company recently opened a second location in Long Beach. [Parking]: There's a designated parking garage, but it was surprisingly packed on Sunday morning and I barely found an available spot at 10 AM on Sunday. [Atmosphere and amenities]: This is quite a popular coffee shop, but there were only two employees working so expect to wait a bit even if you order drip coffee. Ask the cashier to print the receipt as the Wi-Fi password is listed on it. The cafe is very spacious and plays modern background music. There is also a small section of the cafe called the Tayo Na Library with books for kids to read. [Menu]: According to the sign, the best sellers are the halo-halo latte, turon latte, shaken bibingka latte, and ube matcha - so basically dessert-style lattes. They use the Aeropress to make the single origin coffee. *** Shaken Bibingka Latte (hot - $7.50): Not overly sweet with hints of coconut and a caramel aftertaste - good smooth finish. *** This is a solid coffee shop for anyone who is open to try latte flavors with a different twist.

Decided to give it a try again, and it did not disappoint. The barista was kind enough to recommend his favorites and let me know that the uji tea cream top was similar to a hojicha latte. I tried it and loved it because it had a nice, sweet and nutty flavor. My mom tried the matcha meadow, and we both liked how light the lavender taste was. The lavender did not overpower the matcha. I also really like cafes that do house-made syrups, so this was a plus! While waiting for our drinks, I noticed there was a lot of seating and it seemed pretty quiet. This seems like a good study spot for those that want to focus without the hustle and bustle of a busy cafe. Keep in mind though, I did come on a weekday afternoon. The only downside I would say is that the price is pretty steep for a small cup of matcha/tea-- at $7.50 for a cup that looks smaller than a 16 oz. The flavor is there, but the price for an upsize would be an additional $1.25 equal to around $9 for a cup of coffee/matcha/tea. I do want to try the ferrero rocher latte and the crème bru-latte, so I may be back despite the price point.

I would recommend to come inside as the outside looks different from the inside which it's more spacious once you get in.
