    Love this space- has desks to work/study, wifi, and a convenient parking lot. Service is super friendly too. Will definitely be back!

    Sweet treats
    Sunday B.

    What a gem!! Clean and spacious with super sweet and helpful staff!! Great place to meet up with friends as they have plenty of large tables. Food was insane. The mango cake was soo fluffy and perfectly sweet (not too sweet) The burrito was deeelicious!! Had really unique flavors with unique ingredients...sun-dried tomatoes, feta, arugula, pest, cream cheese and fluffy egg whites..sooo goooood.. Coffee is carefully brewed with attention to details. Matcha was perfect.

    Ube latte and pandan latte
    Tatiana M.

    Came back again and tried the ube latte it was pretty good! I liked it was a good balance of sweet and the coffee flavor. I think I'd order it again. My friend got the pandan latte and she also liked it. My favorite thing on the menu is the chicken and pork siopao I get them every time I come back. It was a bit more packed this time compared to last time but still enough seating. The staff were nice they even remade my friend's drink because she forgot to ask for decaf! There was also WiFi so it was nice to not use hotspot to finish work! The WiFi was also pretty good speed wasn't too slow! One of my favorite things is that there's a designated parking lot, when parking is easy it makes me return!

    Philippine Coffee origins
    Sonia K.

    Passion for coffee growing, importing and ROASTING has a new guiding light. Filipino hand raised direct trade and fair trade farming are at the heart and soul of this mission driven spot! We love it. The e Owner is an engineer and champion of his people bringing the finest coffees directly from the Philippines - he is literally THE GUY- making inroads to import and distribute coffee directly from and with the farmers of this country and their coffee region. Wait until you taste it! This coffee is so powerful and flavorful- it is unforgettable and part of that is the roasting. Ron is truly someone who understands how to coax the truest expression of the bean into being through pepper temperatures and precise roasting. Coffee lovers and true aficionados prepare to cup this! Bravo Ron! Hooray for the Philippines!!

    Ube Latte is my fearless leader that inspires me in the morning. I drove out to Carson on a beautiful Sunday morning. I need to find better parking than the time limited store front area. There must be more parking somewhere, and when I find it, I will update my review. The service was very good in terms of speed. The coffee shop had a wonderful décor inside. What you may expect in a coffee shop; brown wood, lounge spots, study spots, bar spots; and this shop was pretty spacious. The Ube was refreshing, strong, sweet, smooth; so I will be back in the future for more. ***Please listen to the song I am parodying, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship.*** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wxyN3z9PL4&list=RD3wxyN3z9PL4&start_radio=1 While you are reading my song parody portion of my review below.

    Nido Latte, Mount Milo and Pistachio Croissant
    Ivan Lawrence A.

    Food Went here with the wife for an afternoon snack and pick me up. We ordered the Mount Milo and the Nido latte and a pistachio croissant for our snack. I've been here before and I have to say that the coffee here really hits and I loved the flavor of their coffee as it's not too bitter when I ordered just plain black coffee. Growing up in the philippines, I love Barako coffee and i love this place's mission to spread the knowledge and agriculture of filipino coffee. The pistachio croissant was pretty good, but a bit too sweet for us but we still ate all of it as it was pretty good Service/Ambiance On a random saturday afternoon, the place wasn't too packed and had lots of seating. The staff were really nice and we got our orders pretty quickly. Would definitely come back here

    Coffee was great. I ordered their seasonal Peach Cobbler latte and the Red Velvet Matcha. The Red Valvet Cake Latte tasted OK. I really enjoyed the Red Velvet Matcha. It wasn't overly sweet and the matcha wasn't overly powering.

    Teofilo Coffee Company is a new Filipino coffee shop located in Carson and this spot used to be GREENDOOR Powered by Intelligentsia. 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.

    Drinks weren't bad, service however was subpar when paying $8 for a drink. I didn't feel welcomed when I walked in, wasn't greeted or even acknowledged when we walked up to the counter. Looked at the menu, again not even a hello or asked if we had any questions. After we did order, barista walked away. I spoke more than the staff, again drink was okay but if I'm paying $18 for two drinks and this is the service I get, yeah I could've saved my money and gone elsewhere. I didn't leave a tip and they looked at the receipt, drink comes with coconut and it looks like they barely added any.

    3/22/25 Woohoo! I am HERE! Grand Opening Teofilo Coffee Co!
    Jennifer W.

    3/24/26 Long overdue review! (Check my photos dates)-Attended the grand Opening & everything! Great Filipino-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. Come & check em out--see their IG page: @teofilocoffeecompany The branch in LONG BEACH is on its soft opening tomorrow 3/25/26 7am to 12 noon CONGRATS! MABUHAY

    Ube Matcha Latte $6 with Ube Foam $1
    Arrianne D.

    This is one of the best coffee shops in the South Bay. The customer service is always kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. It's also a great spot to work or study the atmosphere is comfortable and easy to settle into for a few hours. They use coffee beans from the Philippines, and you can really taste the depth of flavor without it being overwhelmed by syrups or add-ins. One of their best drinks is the Shaken Bibingka. It's so addicting. I also tried their chicken siopao, and it was so good I honestly couldn't tell if it was store-bought or homemade, but either way it was savory & delicious. It reminded me of my grandma's. My family is from Pampanga in the Philippines, so we know good food, iykyk.

    Patricia D.

    Highly improved, my recent visit was positive! I was in the area to do some early errands and they opened at 7am. I ordered two iced drinks: 1. A matcha latte with almond milk and two stevias. 2. An ube matcha latte with oat milk. Both were good, specifically the ube matcha because it wasn't overly sweet. I also ordered two everything croissants and they were tasty. They were stuffed with cream cheese, warmed up and so flakey. The cost was $32.66 including tax and tip. They also sell ready to eat food like burritos. Service was welcoming and the wait time was reasonable! The space is utilized with plenty of seating. They still have their Tayo Na library which was cool!

    The people who worked there were very kind and helpful when choosing a drink from the menu. Their coffee is very tasty and not too sweet! There is plenty of space to study or get work done. There are outlets along the wall. It is street parking but it was very convenient. Definitely worth checking out!

The shop itself is super busy with people doing work in laptops or just hanging out. There's always plenty of seating outside regardless. They were sold out of the barley popping boba on Friday and over the weekend. We've come by a few times and the matcha and hojicha drinks were watered down. This time I opted for the Pink Berry and Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea. The pink berry is depicted as a yogurt strawberry puree drink. I got a drink that was mostly a smoothie of ice with strawberry flavor. The consistency was more liquidy and lacked any yogurt creaminess. Phoenix oolong milk tea was more on the milk tasting side. The tea taste was definitely there, but the milk and tea didn't taste like it blended well together at all. I'm overall mixed about coming here since it is a hit or miss on if the drinks will be watered down or not. Staff is always busy filling orders and it does take some time to get the drinks. IIt's a nice space to work at and hopefully drinks will improve.

[Atmosphere]: There are one long table, one bar table, and bench seating with about 20+ seats inside the shop. There are two small outdoor tables just outside of the shop.

While the matcha portion was watery, the matcha flavor remained strong. Once the entire drink was stirred, the drink tasted a bit more balanced. *** A solid matcha shop in the South Bay, but their cream is quite sweet and I would get it at 75% sweetness instead.

My matcha was smoothly blended but definitely more on the milky side. My husband's tonic was refreshing and slightly citrusy, but not different than tonics we've tried at other shops. Due to the small space and random amounts of people standing around and just chatting and hanging inside the shop, I wouldn't come again unless it's a quick grab and go.

I had a few sips of her drink, and it instantly made me think of Nesquik strawberry milk mixed with espresso.

I really liked the unexpected nostalgia factor, and the drink itself was very pretty. The interior is intricately decorated, with little signs and knick knacks everywhere you look. My favorite part was the community resource wall! It was completely filled with flyers (some bilingual) and there was a shelf with stacks of business cards from professionals of all industries.

[Parking]: Easy parking within the plaza. [Atmosphere]: A very casual setup for this tea shop and customers can place their orders via one of two kiosks. One thing to note is that the tea shop plays fairly loud background music so it is hard to have a conversation unless you are sitting right next to the person you are talking to. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Strawberry Matcha W/ Milk Foam, Strawberry Taro Milk Tea, and Caramel Cheese Latte. Other featured items include Popcorn Chicken, Biscoff Shake, and Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. *** Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea (100% sweetness - $6.20): The drink was slightly too sweet for me, but the overall flavor was there. Chicken Teriyaki Bowl (Charbroiled Chicken Teriyaki + comes with white rice, chopped lettuce, macaroni salad and grilled fresh pineapple - $13.90): The bowl was surprisingly better than I had expected. The bowl had a slice of grilled pineapple and decent macaroni salad. I was actually able to split the bowl into two smaller meal portions. It was certainly a lot better than the teriyaki bowl from Flame Broiler. *** A solid 3.5-star for the drink and rice bowl. I personally slightly prefer their rice bowl over their drinks and overall this is a nice neighborhood tea shop to grab a quick meal or get a-okay drinks as there aren't too many tea shop options in this part of Torrance (closer to the city of Carson).

I especially love their matcha selection they offer so many unique flavors to choose from. On my most recent visit, they were unfortunately out of the banana cream matcha even though it was still listed on the menu . My husband had been really looking forward to trying it, so that was a bit of a letdown. However, he ended up getting the mango matcha instead, and it was just as delicious, so it all worked out. The space itself is open and inviting, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. They also offer food, which I haven't tried yet, but I've heard great things especially about their waffle dessert that everyone seems to love. Definitely planning to try that next time! Overall, this place delivers on all fronts: amazing boba drinks, great vibes, and friendly service. 10/10!

The coffees are the only good thing I'd come back for and sometimes it still comes out way too sweet. The boba itself has consistently been overcooked or old. Nice workers and cool little spot in a very stinky plaza

    Spacious interior, great service, and food were large portion!…read moreKung pao chicken had all the components from peanut, veggies to chicken and it was not too salty or sweet Pad see ew noodles were cooked to good texture and sauces captured the flavors of a pad see ew well Pho smelled amazing with the beef bone broth and ribs fell off the bone with tenderness The drinks were okay, the cream tops were not greasy and not too sweet but coffee can be a bit acidic Parking is tricky because its behind the building and spots are tight Inside has plenty seating and decorated well

    I went to Hiccups planning to get an Matcha, but somehow ended up leaving with a Fruity Booty…read more The switch happened because I was talking to the cashier. I told him I wanted to mix matcha with thai, and he was honest enough to tell me that it probably wouldn't taste the way I was expecting because they use powder, and it doesn't always blend well. I appreciated him so much for that because if I had spent money on a nasty drink, I would've been upset. So my backup plan became the Fruity Booty, and it was SO good. I don't remember everything that was in it, but I know it had mango and strawberries. The only downside was that it melted super fast. By the time we got back to the car, there was already juice collecting at the bottom of the cup. Even with that, it was delicious. I ended up finishing the whole thing, which I definitely wasn't expecting. It was so hot outside, and it ended up being the perfect refreshing drink.

    I don't crave halo halo often, but when I do, I'm getting the UPSIDE DOWN HALO HALO from here!…read moreWhile it isn't the most traditional version of the dessert, it still has all of my favorite parts. I love that the base is an ube milkshake and the corn flakes add a nice crunch. I'm glad they opened this Carson location because it's closer to me and I can fulfill my cravings!

    My partner and I stopped by Cafe 86 in Carson hoping we had found our next go-to halo-halo spot…read more Unfortunately, authenticity and customer service were both missing from the recipe. Parking was easy, and when we walked in, there was only one occupied table. Three employees were chatting in the back. We were greeted, but it felt more like, "What would you like?" than "Welcome in." No smile, no conversation, no thank you--just a transaction. After taking our order, the employee returned to chatting with coworkers. When our order was ready, our name was called, the halo-halo was placed on the counter, and that was the end of the interaction. As for the halo-halo itself, my partner rated it a 2/10. It was overwhelmingly sweet and overpriced for what we received. We were hoping for layers of flavor and nostalgia but got a sugar rush that could probably power a small city. As a business owner myself, I understand that customer service is one of the biggest drivers of customer retention. Great products can bring people in once, but great service brings them back. Unfortunately, this visit missed the mark on both. The good news? These issues are fixable. A little more warmth, engagement, and hospitality would go a long way. Until then, we'll continue our search for our next favorite halo-halo spot.
