I ordered the bibingka latte and my friend ordered their mango sticky rice matcha! I love how unique the drinks are but we both felt that the flavor was lacking. The cafe was super spacious and had a lot of seating tho!
Love this space- has desks to work/study, wifi, and a convenient parking lot. Service is super friendly too. Will definitely be back!
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.
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!
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.

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
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!!
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.
3/24/26 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.
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!
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.

I saw this cute Filipino inspired coffee shop on instagram. Had a weekend trip in Carson and stopped by. There is street parking available. The shop is pretty big. I ordered the bibingka shaken latte, ube latte, and strawberry matcha. The staff were very welcoming and also provided recommendations. The drinks were pretty good and it may be a little too sweet for some people. The drinks were strong and kept me up but I'm also not a big coffee drinker. Overall this spot had a cozy feeling. You can definitely come in to hang out with friends or study. read more

Very spacious coffee shop lol im very excited to finally have a good matcha and coffee place near by. I ordered just a regular matcha w/ oatmilk. It was very good quality I love when matchas are a little bit more earthy/bitter. I did ask for a small pump of sweetner lol. Also tried the ham & cheese croissant it was good but a little too greasy for me. Got the beef Siopao again it was ehh okay for what it was it wasnt warmed up all the way so had some cold spots. Overall I love it here. Looking forward coming back and trying the blueberry matcha read more

Had the killamansi iced with green tea. The calamansi could've been more potent of a flavoring. Maybe it's stronger if it's hot. But green tea was good and the menu is reasonably priced. My friend had the decaf espresso americano and said it was good. read more

This place was amazing and would definitely recommend trying! Theres a small parking garage under the building that it's residing in, so finding parking wasn't too bad. The inside is sort of modern industrial and is very spacious! Theres plenty of seating inside to just hangout! The staff were very nice and I got the bibingka latte which was absolutely delicious! The calamansi matcha though is definitely an acquired taste and was sort of tangy. read more

I wanted to try a new coffee spot and came here. I ordered the iced shaken bibingka latte. To be honest, I didn't really taste bibingka. It was more of just coffee and a lot of creamer, similar something to what I would make at home. My husband ordered the ube latte which definitely had ube flavor but was on the bitter side. I do plan on coming back to try their teas and hopefully I'll have a different review. Service was definitely good. Staff were nice and ambiance has plenty of open space, seating, and perfect for studying or just hanging out with friends. read more

I was really excited for this place. The service was fast and the space is huge with a little outdoor area in front. The ube latte was a little underwhelming. I didn't taste ube at all, just coffee and milk. I also ordered the cinnamon roll and ube doodle (not pictured). I originally ordered the Ube cinnamon roll but didn't realize I was given the original until I drove off. The pastries were good regardless. Even if I was disappointed with my latte, I definitely think it is worth going back to try the other drinks. read more
I happened to be in the neighborhood and saw that Teofilo was open and although I'm not a coffee drinker, I needed to stop by to check it out. They had a handful of non-coffee items and I opted for the Killa Matcha, their matcha-lemonade made with calamansi juice, iced. It was the perfect blend of sweet, tart and refreshing. Their staff is super friendly and the space is actually really big, with a little community library of Tagalog books, and several small and communal tables. They've got pastries, and lots of Filipino inspired items that I can't wait to try. There is also free lot parking! read more

Stopped by here to check out the drinks and pastries since we heard its new. The ambiance was cozy and the vibe was perfect in this little neighborhood. Unfortunately, the drinks didn't live up to the atmosphere. My friends and I ordered their strawberry matcha, Killamansi and Mango Dream. The strawberry matcha was a good amount of sweet and had a perfect balance but didn't taste like ceremonial matcha. The other drinks on the other hand like the Killamansi and Mango Dream tasted vague, more like water. I think it's missing some more Calamansi. Thankfully the Mango foam made it a litte sweet. Super disappointed since Calamansi usually has a natural, vibrant refreshing taste. We also ordered pastries as well such as the Ube coffee cake and the Ube Sourdough Cinnamon Roll. It seemed kind of hard and dry so I'm not sure if it was an old batch it. I ended up microwaving my coffee cake so that did help a little. Overall the space is cute and the service was quick so it seemed like a good place to study or get some work done. Maybe the coffee drinks taste better but maybe next time... read more

Stopped by here again to try something different. I don't know if this is true or not but I feel like coffee from the Philippines has more caffeine than any other types of coffee I have had. Even Vietnamese coffee. These guys import the beans from there. I love the coffee here and the homemade ube pastries. This time I tried the Mount Milo (Filipino coffee and mocha). It was bold and yummy. I also had a piece of ube coffee cake. I think this one is my favorite ube pastry I have had here so far. Mmmmmm. It is heaven. One of the great things about this place that my Filipino friends would love is that they support and give back to the Filipino community. This place is also kid friendly. They have a small reading area where they have some books for kids that are in Tagalog. read more

Finally got to check out Teofilo! It's just a few miles from my house and I've been following them on Instagram so I was excited to visit. At the barista's recommendation I ordered the iced bibingka latte and it's definitely a 10/10 for me. You can taste the coconut but it's not overpowering at all. The space itself is really big. I can imagine people coming in and working or studying there while enjoying some coffee and pastries. I also ordered the Ube cinnamon roll. I should have heat it up though, it probably would have been even more gooey and delicious warmed up. I recommend this spot for sure! read more

We came to Teofilo during it's soft opening to (1) support a local small business and (2) shed further light on the cause of Filipino coffee. I purchased a drip coffee made with barako beans. The coffee instantly transported.me to my native provinces of Batangas and Cavite, where my parents were born. I was glad to find that the coffee was served at a reasonable temperature so that I could drink it right away! I was so impressed with the coffee flavor that I bought a bag of barako for myself to brew at home. I can't wait to see how the space will be transformed in the coming days and weeks. The coffee, I am happy to say, needs no changes read more

What?!?! I didn't know they even moved. It's Sunday, Father's Day, and I was out shopping early and wanted to get an iced latte from Teofilo in Los Alamitos. Luckily I turn to Yelp a lot and come to find the their Los Al location is CLOSED! Whaaa? Welp, skurried on to the 405 and headed straight to their new location of C-Arson, lol. Omg the place is so pretty and it's big. Met one of the workers and I told her I had to miss out on the yelp event. She told me it was fun. Anywaaaay, since I was here, had to get two drinks for myself and my bf got a drink to (coz I was being thoughtful coz he is my baby daddy, lololol). I ordered Halo Halo iced latte annnnnd the coconut matcha. He got the Hi-Si. Couldn't resist, had to get something to nibble on, Ube coffee cake. Halo Halo iced coffee had all the classic flavors in it. Just make sure when u receive your drink, u have to Mix-Mix. That's the only way to get the flavors together and lessen the bitterness of the coffee. Coconut matcha I saved for later to blend at home. It was so yummy. Hi-Si, more hibiscus flavor and not overly sweet. Perfect for the summer heat. As for the ube coffee cake, I saved it and had it for breakfast (warmed up of course) the next day. read more

The coffee shop is very spacious with a few seats and tables inside and outside, though it does get packed...I went on a Saturday afternoon, so it was pretty busy. They also had a great playlist playing in the background, which added to the vibe. Overall, a really nice spot to grab coffee and hang out. read more

Came to Teofilo the other day to try out a different coffee shop where I can just hangout and take care of some stuff. Was greeted upon walking into the shop and immediately felt welcomed. The barista asked if I had any questions, I informed her that it's my first time here; which she replied to take my time. Was going to get a matcha latte but wanted to get an espresso, but she recommended getting a dirty matcha latte (which for me who is new to drinking coffee immediately said "Yes!") lol. The service was super quick and efficient which was pleasant. Was able to set up my items and spent some much needed time doing what I came to do. The music was a total vibe and the atmosphere was soothing, refreshing and calm which is what I live for. Definitely found my new coffee shop that I will be coming back for times to come. Thank you for all your service and look forward to see you soon. read more

Usually love this place since it's grand opening. I went in the other day and did not recognize the cashier or barista. I got the "Dirty Killa" which is my favorite drink on the menu, this time it was one of the worst pulls of espresso I've ever had. They also were out of stock of all their beans which sucks because I'm a big fan of their Barako beans, it's all I use. My drink had pieces of espresso at the bottom and a very disturbing and bitter taste-- this was my first time not finishing a drink from Teo Filo. I will return for coffee beans but I can make a much better cup at home going forward. I wish I was able to call before coming in to find out if they have beans in stock. read more

I love supporting Filipino entrepreneurs and preservers of our culture, however, I'll do my best to write a comprehensive or objective review based on my visit. The homies took me here the day after I flew in and they wanted to grab some coffee before starting our day running errands. It's great that there's a Filipino cafe that carries barako coffee beans from the Philippines. Great & ambitious concept and loved the space where the cafe sits. Lots of free parking in their designated parking garage. So let's start off with the food and drink review... I picked up the strawberry matcha and the biko mais (coconut sticky rice with corn). I felt compelled writing this because I wasn't a fan of the strawberry syrup they used. The matcha was a bit astringent and the color looked murky. It was clear to me that this drink is not made with a ceremonial grade matcha. The color was off. It's not at all the vibrant green that some matcha drinkers DO expect. So if you're expecting a ceremonial grade matcha, it is not. However, I enjoyed the biko mais had the right amount of sweetness. I did however tried an iced coffee and it tasted good. I keep hearing about the the bibingka latte which they didn't offer on the menu while we were there but I guess I'll have to wait the next time when I'm in town again. My boyfriend picked up the sourdough ube cinnamon roll, a bit too sweet and the cinnamon roll was quite tiny and dense. Not sure how the price point equates to the size of the baked cinnamon roll though. I'd skip it. However, they do outsource their baked goods from a local filipino baker. Our friend ordered the steamed pork bun and the staff didn't check that it was frozen before giving it to him. Staff needs to cross-check and iron out the expediting process to ensure quality control. I found the staff at the register to be helpful and friendly. I'll update my review next time if we come back here. For a business to have closed 2 locations in SoCal then to open this location in Carson; seem to not be able to get basic things down right. I really hope they get into the swing of things for a smooth expedition of their QC. read more
