    Mango sticky rice matcha
    Esther C.

    Super cute lil coffee shop with amazing drinks and even more amazing service!! Their matcha was rich, creamy and high quality. Great place to get a little work done, only downside is that there is no bathroom for customers

    Loved this cute little Filipino-American inspired coffee shop! Enough space and cozy enough to just bring your laptop and work or study. Only con is they do not have restrooms available. Came a little late so most of the pastries were sold out, but I did get a red velvet cheesecake cookie and it was amazing 1000/10! You can tell it was freshly made! Also got a banana bread iced latte, 9/10 , I was expecting more banana flavor. Parking can be a nightmare if you come during rush hour. Service was 1000000/10. Very polite and friendly This coffee shop is rooted in faith, and love for Christ you can definitely feel!!! Will be stopping by to try something new soon!

    This matcha was delicious. It was so well prepared and balanced. I didn't feel any of the bitterness that matcha has. Will come back to try the other flavors. Service was excellent. The staff was very friendly.

    Ordered the mais con ube latte and the mango sticky rice matcha. You could actually taste the hints of sticky rice/coconut flavor that complimented the mango. It was a little too sweet for me, but that's just my preference since I don't like things too sweet. My bf thought it was perfect and he loved his latte so much that he wanted to come back the next day since we were in the area for the weekend. I sadly had to tell him they're not open on Sundays.

    Drinks and sweets, ok

    Their latte was enjoyable but their matcha was a bit watered down. As far as the drinks we tried, nothing stood out as exceptional enough to rave about, but it also wasn't offensive so it's all a matter of personal taste. The pastries we tried were also pretty good. These things can be modified and improved and I know they'll tweak things and only makes things better and I can already see from the reviews that many people love their offerings. The service is friendly. I truly, truly wish them well. I do disagree with the notion that it's a good place to work or study because they do not offer restrooms. I feel like a good coffee shop (or at least a coffee shop that you can work and study at) gives you at least that option.

    Mais con ube and double matcha

    I love how so many cute cafés are popping all over the South Bay, and Tamistea is a recent addition. Stopped by after lunch for a pick-me-up: it is located inside of a strip mall with a good amount of parking, but I can imagine it might be tricky to find a spot during busier hours. Inside is minimalist, but charming with plenty of natural lighting and some board games on the side. It's a Christian-based café, so you'll see quotes and drinks inspired by the faith. I ordered their signature mais con ube and double matcha. The mais con ube came beautifully-presented, and I can see why it's a fan favorite: taste-wise, it was solid, with strong coffee and a sweet ube cream top to balance it out. Not sure if I tasted much of the corn flavor, but in any case, it was really good! Double matcha was good, but a bit on the milky side; perhaps it was the oat milk I'd opted for as the latte base, but it could've had more matcha. Not bad, though! I would return to Tamistea for the mais con ube alone. Even if you're not faith-based, it's still a nice café to come and sit a while!

    Wow, so glad I finally tried this spot. Loved all of my drinks so much, and the Filipino cornbread was to die for!! The matcha and coffee here are both so high quality. The owner is an absolute sweetheart, she was so welcoming and generous which is a huge plus. The shop itself is also really cute and gives cozy islandy vibes. Plenty of indoor and some outdoor seating so this is a perfect hangout spot! I can't wait to come back!!

    Maganda Ka to that Ube Latte I had. The croissant was special, not just a regular croissant, it had a texture and flavor and season that I enjoyed. The Smores Cookie was just good, actually, it was great. The décor was original, with style, and yet still comfortable. There were many seating options but I just had to sit at the smallest table and smallest stool for the experience. There is a water station. The parking was great on this early Saturday morning; the parking hot here is shared among many businesses. I support the Women-owned businesses and I hope this café does well. My experience here was excellent. ***Please listen to the song I am parodying, "Sweet Thing" by Mary J Blige.*** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EjZF88vqNU&list=RD6EjZF88vqNU&start_radio=1 While you are reading my song parody portion of my review below.

    I've been meaning to try this spot since they opened I'm so glad I came! It's in a small shopping center with plenty of parking. There's some seating inside, we came late on a weekday morning and there was none though. The menu had a lot of great unique drinks so it was hard to pick but the barista helping us was super friendly! The mango matcha was super refreshing and light, a great summer drink overall. I also really enjoyed the Pandan and loved that it wasn't too sweet. The Ube cookie was one of the best cookies I've had as well. I'll definitely be back to try the coffee!

    Banana bread latte
    Peter H.

    I think I ordered the wrong drinks lol. So I'll probably have to visit this place again in the future. This is a new coffee shop that opened up recently in Torrance. I heard great things! We got the milk and honey and the banana bread latte. Both drinks were just okay. The milk and honey tasted like a normal iced coffee with milk in it. The banana bread latte had a nice foam top to it, but the coffee underneath it was essentially identical to the milk and honey. The foam top was tasty but rather thin. Each drink/sip was met with a taste of the foam but quickly overpowered in volume and taste by the iced coffee beneath. The service was good. Really nice and polite. The barista highly recommended the banana bread latte and I was quite excited to try it. I think I'll try out some other popular drinks next time :) The ambiance is what you'd expect from a coffee shop. It's a nice place for studying and socializing. There's a decent amount of parking available too so that's a plus.

    Such a charming and faith forward cafe. Would've wished for more dairy-free options but I enjoyed my signature Milk & Honey drink with a side of the fluffy and perfectly sweet cornbread cake. I picked up an encouraging sticker and also scribbled in a prayer request for their box near the window. Lots of natural light and indoor and outdoor seating. Adequate parking and easy to find spot. Excellent customer service. Highly recommend!

    Maria D.

    I was not a fan of the coffee here!! The espresso felt a bit too weak. I will give their match a try next time around. they do have plenty of parking that they share with the other businesses. They also have lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of people were doing work indoors. They couches are super comfy. they have pictures of their drinks for those that are more visual. The service was friendly and quick as well. Looking forward to finding a drink that I like better since it's so close to work and every other aspect of the business is so cute!

    Mais con Ube
    Zeeshan Q.

    Tamistea is a newer local Filipino inspired coffee shop with a decent selection of coffees and specialty drinks. They have a very cozy interior and decent parking. Their mais con ube was really delicious, strong earthy corn flavor mixed with coffee and the mild sweetness from the ube paired perfectly with the drink. I will definitely be returning in the near future.

    I had more than enough points to redeem a free pastry reward, and since I was just at nearby Del…read moreAmo Fashion Center, I figured why not use one of my free pastry rewards at this Paris Baguette? So first things first, be aware that this Paris Baguette is actually inside Hannam Chain Supermarket at Village Del Amo on the southwest corner of Torrance and Hawthorne. I didn't know it at the time, so I circumnavigated the plaza, looking for Paris Baguette signage like I usually do for the other standalone locations. After stopping my car somewhere in the plaza, I had to double-check the location to be inside the Hannam Chain Supermarket, which I had just literally passed by minutes ago. D'oh! lol I hadn't even heard of Hannam Chain Supermarket, so I took some time to explore the store even though Paris Baguette is literally closest to the entrance. The overall selection of baked goods kind of disappointed me because it felt like there were fewer choices of pastries here compared to the other locations I've been to before. However, oddly enough, they had more selections available! I think it's because they have time stamps listed on each pastry so that the pastries are inside the display case for no more than 4 hours. I thought the pastries would have remained good at least until the end of the day, so to hear of their 4 hour shelf life was a bit surprising to me. For the record, I've been to several other Paris Baguettes before, but this was the first time I noticed these time stamps. Even though the variety of pastries was not as much compared to the other standalone locations, I still had a difficult time deciding which pastry to get! However, I noticed a new flavor of a supreme croissant I hadn't seen before: pink velvet. I've heard of red velvet, but not pink, and presuming that this is a seasonal offering for Valentine's Day, I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to try one before that special day. They had other supreme croissant flavors like chocolate and salted caramel pretzel, but I'm sure those flavors will be offered for much longer than the pink velvet. I do remember trying a strawberry supreme croissant from the Cerritos location, so perhaps after Valentine's Day, that would take the place of the pink velvet. After grabbing one of two Pink Velvet Supreme Croissants left in the display case, I made my way around and to the register. Phone in hand, I had the Paris Baguette app pulled up to redeem my reward. Actually, a good part of me had thought that this location inside Hannam Chain wouldn't honor my reward because for Tous Les Jours, the locations inside Hmart wouldn't be eligible for earning points or redeeming rewards. Luckily, Paris Baguette is not Tous Les Jours, and I was able to redeem my reward with no trouble. The cashier who rang me up was pretty friendly as well. She placed my Pink Velvet Supreme Croissant in a small paper bag and wished me a good day. While there are a handful of tables inside the food hall portion of Hannam Chain, most were occupied by customers of other eateries, so I simply went outside to enjoy my free sweet treat. The pink velvet ruby chocolate that covered the top portion of the round croissant didn't have nearly as much flavor, though the Valentine's sprinkles on top did make for a nice touch at least. Also, the custard cream inside didn't taste like anything at all! It wasn't bad, but it makes me wonder how much more flavorful the salted caramel pretzel would have been. I'll be sure to get that on my next visit to a Paris Baguette! I got the croissant about 2.5 hours after they were prepared, so maybe they would have tasted better had I gone 2 hours earlier? Lastly, I'm kind of shocked that this is pretty much the only Paris Baguette location in the South Bay. With how expansive a city like Torrance is, you would think they'd have at least a second location elsewhere like in Hmart. Otherwise, the next closest location would be in Long Beach, which literally just opened at The Pike Outlets. Overall, it's not a bad Paris Baguette to go to, but if you live in the South Bay, you'd be better off downloading the 85C Bakery app over the Paris Baguette app as there are much more 85C locations in the area. Also, this Paris Baguette may not necessarily carry your favorite pastries here, so heed caution if you plan to go out of your way to visit this patisserie.

I tried their special Strawberry Mocha Latte which was really good, however, it was very small and very pricey. The service was great. The girl that helped me was super nice and very accommodating. After getting some bake goods for our dentist, I quickly had to eat the steamed pork buns while it was hot. The pork filling was like a pork siomai inside a fluffy soft dough. That was very good and worth the price. As for the sweet baked goods, I immediately tried them as soon as we got home. The cream puff was delicious and not too sweet, however for the size of it, I don't think it is worth the $4.00 price tag. The strawberry croissant on the other hand was cheaper and also very tasty and I would say it's worth the price tag.

Hot Dog The hot dog is spicy and sweet mixed into a savory bread. The crust is so soft with crispy edges. That bread made me so full the entire day. If you want a little savory snack that will fill you up, this sure does it well! The hot dog meat was fresh and loved the garnish as well. Brioche I always get this bread when I visit the bakery. So freshly prepared as always. Love how soft and delicious it tastes. I seriously need to know how they make this because the bread is a good option if you are craving sweet bread but also not too overpowering. Thank you 85°c Bakery for the delicious treats!

    85 is always a solid choice when you're not very familiar with bakeries in a new city. I usually…read morestop by an 85 when I don't want to spend time searching for and vetting a new bakery, especially since I know they carry items my parents enjoy. As I was out with my family, I decided to stop a safe choice, and 85 was the bakery of choice. It has a wide variety of breads, pastries, and drinks. Their selection is broad enough that no matter what you're in the mood for, you'll find something, whether it's savory, semi-sweet, or fully sweet. This location was smaller than the 85 I usually go to, but definitely not the smallest I've been to. The staff here were super friendly and even helped me with the promotional codes that were available at the time.

    Review #908 2025-083…read moreOTM Club 11/20/22 - 11/26/22 (sold out, missed OTM redemption) Food Order: Melon Pan & Raisin Danish I originally came to Hamada Ya Bakery to redeem a comped Cream Puff via OTM Club, but it was late in the day, about an hour before closing so they were sold out & other baked goodies were limited. Since it's not technically an "off the menu" item, I was hoping the bakery would be flexible to substitute the cream puff with something of similar pricing -- nope. According to other reviewers, they often sell out by the afternoon so you need to stop by in the morning to get first pick. I was here with my LO so couldn't leave empty handed & perused the shelves for anything interesting. Just to be on the safe side, we picked a raisin danish (can't go wrong with that) & melon pan. Not sure if it's late in the day or what, but both were pretty stale tasting... I spritz both with a little water & dropped them in the convection oven, which help restore some of the danish's flaky exterior while warming the interior, the melon pan's crust was toasted & sort of melted, but made the interior fluffier & warm. The raisin danish was ok flavor-wise, while the melon pan lacked flavor (too mild; crust lacked sweetness). Hamada Ya Bakery is located in Mitsuwa Marketplace at Del Amo Fashion Center, just off to the right upon entry. While there's plenty of parking available, the spaces near the bakery/market are often full. The bakery is really small, & cannot accommodate 2 people in the cramped aisles. Moderate to slightly high price points for a Japanese bakery. I typically visit other Japanese bakeries in the South Bay, but if I happen to dine at the market's food court or shop in the market, I will browse the bakery for goodies. I'm hoping to try their popular pudding that I keep missing because I'm often here late in the day.

    I really like this place. Another tasty shop in the market to pick up some goodies. They have an…read moreentrance directly from the outside as well. Small shop with lots of goodies. Plentiful parking in the free lot. They open early and it's pretty empty if you want something before work. Had to try the coffee jelly milk drink thing my first go. Was really tasty this time. Second time I went it was super sweet which was unexpected. I couldn't drink it. Inconsistent but delicious when not too sweet. Decent selection of sandwiches in their fridge which were good but, surprisingly, no fruit sandwiches! Lots of savory options tho. Service was ok. Which is ok.

    Tommy and Atticus is a bakery in Redondo Beach that serves fresh-baked breads, bagels, and…read morepastries. I think these breads and pastries are nice, but what brings the fifth star is when they use their breads for sandwiches. My wife ordered a blanco toast, which had ricotta, avocado, and a bunch more flavor bombs over freshly baked sourdough toast. I highly recommend their 'works" bagel sandwich. I had it on a sesame seed bagel with a very tasty scallion cream cheese. What made it amazing was their use of perfectly ripened, sweet heirloom tomato, thinly sliced red onions, briny capers, delicious olive oil, and fresh dill, that gave perfect balance and perfect seasoning. We sat at a communal bench/table to enjoy our breakfast items (which they stop serving after 10:30); however, we noticed that others were eating some delicious-looking sandwiches served on their fresh baguettes. I know that I have to come back for those!

    Good bakery with a variety of bread items, pastries, and flavors! It has a laid back vibe with…read moreboard games available for guests as well. Ordering was fast and they had friendly service. The bread and pastries were baked and executed well and have subdued, layers of flavor, and crunch. We liked the spinach pastry as well as the creme brulee kouign amann! It is definitely worth a visit if you want some good bread and pastries in the area!
