    A cozy coffee shop located in a business center, with a relaxing vibe of new age music playing in the background. There are a descent amount of seating for anyone who wants to stay and sip. The staff is friendly and fast with their services. I ordered the Tiramisu Coffee which was rich, smooth, creamy and not too sweet, which was good. I also loved the coffee foam artwork and toasted biscuit displayed on top.

    You'll feel at home sitting in this cafe. Every order is hand crafted with personal attention so please know this in advance. I've popped in twice now and each time my order was ready within 5 minutes so I could enjoy. They've got vegan sweet treats if that's your thing. You can sit at a classroom table in a chair that reminds you of grandmas house

    A little disappointed. Came in expecting a cortado to be about 4-5 dollars, menu said 4.69 which isn'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.

    I keep coming back here!! Service is definitely great. I like to explore with different latte flavors at times and it always hits. Drinks are definitely great and the place has lots of sitting, they have WiFi and plenty of parking too. Ambiance is just perfect. I could focus on doing my stuff comfortably. They have a construction going on so that can be too loud but overall experience it's still a nice place to hang around

    Melissa is a café alchemist. She's always making new and delicious drinks and snacks and is truly becoming a pillar in the community. The vibe is unmatched, the lattes are ridiculously good, everything is super intentional, and she is constantly partnering with and elevating community. She has vegan and non-vegan snacks, something for everyone. Not sure what you want or have flavors/a vibe in mind? She'll make new things on the spot with what she has, pays incredible attention to community and details, and will leave you satisfied every single time. I'm so impressed by Melissa and Ritual Cafe. She even has a Toro Discount for folxs from CSUDH! The coffee is mostly Black-owned and always brewed fresh. Literally cannot say enough, this isn't just a café- it is an experience, and for so many it is becoming a ritualistic home away from home. Go see for yourself!

    If I could be here everyday. I would!!! The owner is amazing and carefully crafts the drinks. I have tried almost every flavor. New flavors happen often. I am obsessed!!

    My little sister and I made a coffee stop after leaving CSUDH and saw this right around the corner ! soooo close to the school which is great for a caffeine break haha. I got the butter pecan latte ( i always take advantage of a seasonal drink ) It was sweet but strong ! I need to come back and try more of the menu. They have pastries as well that I didn't have a chance to grab but maybe next time. They don't charge extra for non dairy milk which is a HUGE plus as someone who is lactose intolerant!! Ambience was quaint, lots of paintings and plenty of seating with tables if you need to get some homework/work done.

    Service was amazing, whenever I asked questions about the menu the barista(s) gave in depth answers and showed patience! I got the House Tea Iced & it was refreshing, sweet and a myriad of great flavors mixed together!

    Almost done and i just made it to the car it is so delicious i didn't need to add a thing

    Melissa is a gem! My butter pecan latte is simply amazing! All the joy she's bringing into the community is exactly what we need in this day and age! I'll be back no doubt! Ask her suggestions and i promise you will not be disappointed!

    I got the soursop drink and a vegan chocolate donut  absolutely delicious

Upon entering the store, you're greeted by a massive pile of carrots, celery, and a strong vegetable scent. I saw that the employees were fresh blending and juicing every order. I instantly knew I had to try this place out. They had a variety of items ranging from green juices to smoothies. They also had a few cold dishes like chicken/tuna salads. I ordered a kiwi berry smoothie & it was really delicious. It wasn't too sweet & had the right amount of tartness. Overall, I would definitely come back if I was ever in the area again! 10/10!

The cashier didn't greet me or acknowledge me, so I had to ask, "Do I order with you?" She simply replied, "Yes." I ordered a chicken salad sandwich on squaw bread, but she looked confused and asked me to repeat myself. I pointed to the picture on the counter that clearly showed the sandwich on squaw bread. She then told me that it was something the owner was going to implement. That left me wondering why it's being advertised if it's not actually available. It doesn't make sense to display menu items that customers can't order. The only reason I tried this place was because I saw a glowing review on TikTok and wanted to give it a chance. Unfortunately, my first impression was far from what I expected, and I don't plan on returning.

As I watched the associate continue to complete. my bowl something in me, wanted to tell him to STOP! I don't want it!

This just reminded me that cooking and preparing your own food at home is probably the most safest way to stay free of contamination and lack of cleanness. As for the customer service it was who was decent. Will I try it an again, as for now that's a no!

    Yo-Way Sandwich Shop, you have officially ruined other sandwiches for me!…read more I've been coming here for almost 8 YEARS, and I can honestly say I've never had stale meat, stale bread, or a bad experience. The food is always fresh, delicious, and made with care. And this place is SO CLEAN! You can eat inside or outside, and everything is always welcoming and well-kept. I'm currently on a health journey and really trying to eat cleaner, so having a place where I can get a fresh, satisfying sandwich makes me very happy. And the customer service? TOP TIER! This is a family-owned business, and you can feel the love. I've known the father/owner for years, and he has always been wonderful. Today I met his son and thought, "OH! So THIS is where the handsome comes from!" The apple definitely did NOT fall far from the tree! After almost 8 years, I'm still coming back, and that says EVERYTHING. 10/10. 5 stars. Would recommend. Would eat again. Will probably be back way too soon!

But honestly, that's part of the charm. It's like Gardena's version of a speakeasy... except instead of cocktails, you're sneaking in for a fat Italian sandwich. Let me tell you, my Pop's Italian sandwich came out looking like it was sexy and ready to be destroyed. All grown. Mature. Responsible. This thing had layers on layers, stacked like it was trying to win a bodybuilding competition. Generous portions...Understatement. I got excited...I picked it up and immediately felt like I needed to stretch first. It's filling, flavorful, and hits you with that perfect combo of salty, savory, and "I should've worn looser clothes." Service is friendly in that classic neighborhood "G-Town" way, quick, warm, and no nonsense. They're not trying to be fancy; they're trying to feed you. And they do it well. You walk in, order, vibe for a bit, and boom, sandwich magic. By the time I finished the Pop's Italian, I had to sit in my car for a minute and reevaluate my life's next choices. Not in a bad way, more like, "Wow... I really just demolished that whole thing. Should I be proud? Should I be concerned? Should I take a nap?" "I decided to go work out rather than take a nap."

    I rarely leave reviews, but this experience warrants one:…read more Of all the Beach Bowls locations I've visited, this has consistently been the slowest and most disappointing when it comes to both order preparation and customer service. I've been here three times, and each visit has fallen well short of the experience provided by other nearby locations. The staff often seemed disengaged and gave off the impression that they wanted us to hurry up and order. Most recently, I ordered a simple mini Pitaya bowl and a smoothie. After waiting more than 15 minutes and watching several customers who ordered after us receive their food first, I had to ask about the status of my order. We discover our order was just sitting there on a side table. No one had announced our order whatsoever. What made the delay even more frustrating was that we had frozen groceries in the car that needed to be taken home. Despite living less than half a mile away, we'll gladly make the longer drive to another Beach Bowls location in the future for better service and a more enjoyable experience.

No more cherry acai for me. I did have granola so that was not what caused the problem I experienced before. I can confidently keep ordering my bowls here now. I'm really glad I don't need to switch shops because the location is convenient and I liked everything about my previous orders except those irritating bits of miniature concrete I kept chewing on when I ordered the bowls with cherry. If you enjoy keeping your teeth whole, you might also want to bypass that particular flavor.

No more pre-made bohemian bowls, but they have 4 different ones for you. The build you own seems more worth it to me, since toppings are unlimited! It's only $12.95 for the large 16oz or $9.95 for the regular 12oz. Get the big one! Such a steal and they're generous with the toppings. Super unique flavors I've never seen before like Ube and Strawberry Acai, Mango, Passionfruit, Cocao, and more! 5/5!!! My base was Coconut, Strawberry Acai, and Ube: Coconut was my favorite! So refreshing, amazing flavor, and super thick, almost like a paste? Now the Ube, actually tastes identical to the Magnolia Ube ice cream--identical, but with a cloudier texture! Bc of that, I wouldn't get it again bc I prefer a more refreshing flavor when I eat smoothie bowls, but it's so good! The first time a Ube flavor food, ACTUALLY tastes like Ube, super impressed! The strawberry tastes and has the consistency of a strawberry slushy, slightly icy--again good! But I wouldn't get it again, it'd be better as a smoothie. You order at the screen and your order is ready for pickup at the front. Super easy! There's two seating areas, which were free when we came on a weekday at noon.

Plenty of parking on a Saturday afternoon. The young employees welcomed us in. There are a few kiosks to place your order but since it was our first time, we chose to order with the gal at the front counter. I got the medium sized Sucane Delight. The base is acai, dragon fruit and mango. The fruits are banana, strawberry, and mango. Toppings are strawberry vanilla granola, coconut, sunflower seeds, and sliced almonds. The drizzle is agave honey and almond butter. Holds up to its namesake. Indeed delightful! Hubby chose the Acai Sunrise. It has a acai base with banana, strawberry, blueberry, and kiwi as the fruits. Toppings are pumpkin flaxseed granola, coconut, and almond slices. Drizzle is agave honey. Another delightful bowl! He also got the Go-Go green sugar cane drink with aloe vera. I tasted it and it was so good and refreshing! The service was kind and polite. The shop has cute decor and upbeat music playing. Would definitely come back for another bowl! 4 stars.

Today I tried the Chico Cubano bowl with pulled pork, beans, plantains, and I chose greens and white rice as my bases. I couldn't believe that yet again Chinollo packed so much flavor into this bowl!!!! WOW! The pork was succulent and tender with great seasoning, the plantains were the perfect sweet complement - excellent texture to the plantains. The rice is sticky and perfectly cooked and the beans were delicious. The picked red onions provided the perfect amount of acidity. The only thing - I would not recommend the greens with this bowl since the beans kinda take over the base. But hey, it was still delicious, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . I did learn you want to order ahead of time at lunch. That way it's ready when you get there. I did have to wait, but only for about 10 minutes after I placed my order on the kiosk.
