    Cool indoor view
    Vince V.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Visited Teofilo Coffee Company while spending some time in Carson and overall it was an okay experience. The café itself has a decent atmosphere, but it didn't really stand out to me compared to other coffee spots I've visited. I tried the Halo-Halo latte and the Bibingka latte. Both drinks were interesting and drinkable, but neither left a lasting impression. The flavors were unique and inspired by Filipino desserts, which I appreciated, but I found them more "good" than "great." I also ordered the Nutella Croissant, which was enjoyable but nothing particularly memorable. One thing that stood out was the pricing. The drinks and pastries felt a bit expensive for what they were, especially coming from Orange County where I feel like similar cafés offer comparable quality at lower prices. Since I was just visiting the area, the price difference was pretty noticeable. Overall, it wasn't a bad visit by any means. The drinks were okay, the food was okay, and the service was fine. I'm glad I gave it a try, but it's probably not a café I'd go out of my way to recommend or revisit. If you're nearby and curious about Filipino-inspired coffee drinks, it may be worth checking out once, but I wouldn't consider it a must-visit spot.

    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!

    Turon Latte
    Zeeshan Q.

    Really amazing coffee shop off of Carson St. They have a nice spacious open interior with plenty of seating for studying, socializing, etc. Their Filipino-inspired lattes and teas are also delicious. I ordered the Turon Latte, which is a banana latte with brown sugar, and it had a rich distinct caramel flavor that wasn't overly sweet and had a hint of banana as well. Definitely one of my favorite cafes in the area.

    Turon latté
    Gianni C.

    Wonderful local (Filipino) coffee shop. Free SHADED parking behind and free Wi-Fi with uniquely flavored lattés and ethnically inspired coffee. My favorite go-to's are the Turon latté and shaken bibingka latté, both reminding me a bit of home. Both sweetened with brown sugar. Come support the Phili-beans!

    5/10/26 Teofilo Coffee Company Carson, CA... Stopped by here to get a Mango Dream tea and a Ham & Cheese croissant! Super yummy!!! Rei shows great customer service here. Place was very inviting and so clean. I love the interior and was greatly surprised when I walked in! You gotta visit here!!!

    The Ube latte is ok, wasn't the best I've ever had but it was drinkable. I went here when it was Green Door, and thought I would check it out. Interesting menu and the cashier was friendly.

    This coffee bar is incredible, there is almost always a wait (especially during noon so prepare for…read morethat) but it's always 100% worth it. Their coffee is phenomenal. I have gone with a few people many times and our favorites are: the Spanish latte, Mexican Chai, Chai Latte, and Mocha Latte. The Spanish latte is especially good, and the Chai latte is the best I have had in my life it's so well made. The Mexican Chai I can only describe as a cinnamon heaven with the best Chai base flavor ever. The Mocha latte is heavy in the best way possible, it's super strong and I love it. The best part I think for all the drinks is the baristas do not hold back on the coffee, and you always get your moneys worth. None of it is water down, and it's such a great pick me up. I can't really speak on the Matcha cause no one in my group has tried it since we aren't really big Matcha enjoyers. But I have been told that the strawberry Matcha is transcendent and absolutely fantastic. They have a bunch of Matcha flavor options as well, which would be amazing if I was a Matcha connoisseur, but unfortunately, I'm not . So I can't really speak well on that yet, but have only told fantastic things about it. The workers are all kind and work really fast so you get your drinks really quickly even though the line is pretty long. I will say the best time to go and get drinks is around in the morning when they open around 7:30 on the weekends. Again I have to restate wait is always 100% worth it for the amazing quality drinks you will get. I also forgot to mention the fact, you can customize your drinks to have different types of milk and they also have a bunch of other vegan food options as well. I think this is amazing even though my group doesn't really get those options, because I've been told even when people change out the milk, it taste the exact same, which I think is absolutely incredible. (Side note I may update this when I take a photo next time I go because I always forget to before I put on the top on and start drinking ) The experience is great. The drinks are absolutely incredible and the workers are very nice and very helpful.5/5 stars

Made with coconut, macadamia syrup, and oat milk by default, it had a perfectly balanced, tropical flavor--great for vegans or the lactose intolerant. However, it's not the best spot for working or studying. The WiFi was so slow that I had to use my personal hotspot, and the seating consists of benches and mini tables that aren't comfortable for long periods. There are a few outlets, but you have to cross the street to a food court to use the bathroom. They have a shared parking lot out front. I'll definitely be back for the Island Matcha, but not to get work done!

I ordered the crème brûlée brown sugar boba latte, and the crème brûlée topping was thick, creamy, and absolutely delicious. The brown sugar milk latte itself was definitely on the sweeter side. I think I would've preferred it if it had been made with milk tea instead of just milk, since the tea would've helped balance out the richness and sweetness from both the brown sugar and the crème brûlée. Even so, it was still a tasty drink. The inside of the shop is really cute and very clean. I noticed a few people working on their laptops while I was there, and it seemed like a nice place to hang out for a while. They also don't blast music in the background, so it's easy to have a conversation or get some work done. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other drinks because several of them looked really good.

They took forever to acknowledge me waiting at the counter for my pick up order. When one of them finally approached me I showed her my phone and said that I had a pick up order via uber eats. She disappears for 10 minutes. Comes back out and started doing other stuff, gives me no update or anything. I waited an extra 25 minutes after my "promised time" on uber eats. I understand that the younger gen doesn't talk to people but that's just crazy, like at least update the customer ?? If I was a delivery person for someone an extra 25 min wait is insane They even forgot about another lady that was also waiting... The shrimp fried rice is pretty good, of course there's only like 4 shrimps in the entire container. The noodles are okay, obviously they're garlic noodles so you'll have the heavy garlic breath. Very oily and slippery, feels like it'll break my skin out. Popcorn chicken is not traditional to what I am personally used to. One of the pieces had a bone in it and I'm glad it was me and not someone else in my family that got it. There's flavor, the breading is weird and doesn't entirely cover it? Either way, I haven't been here in years and I think this solidified that I don't need to come back. The outside says Veo cafe now. They only use the door on the side for entrance. Still same ambiance and hiccups light up signage inside. Restrooms inside. Street parking or in a free plaza behind it.

After taking our order, the employee returned to chatting with coworkers.

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.
