    Feels Like Home dense sweet foam over espresso
    Dani Z.

    Was nearby and stopped in to try a coffee treat. Though it was delicious, very sweet and thick foam over espresso, the cost was a little punchy at $6.00 for 12 oz. Funny enough, I would return if I were nearby during their open hours, but it might be good that I do not live close because my coffee habit would become extremely expensive. The staff was very friendly and explained several menu items before I decided on this one. It's a small shop with great artwork on the walls and a little store inside, too.

    An 'excellent' tasting double latte had at this little spot tucked away in a strip mall in Redondo Beach on the Pacific Coast Hwy. Come see for yourself; service was excellent, the location was inviting and it was busy which is always a good sign. Parking was plentiful although that can change quick in this neck of the woods Good vibe!! There is some outside seating also.

    I forgot to check-in (because I needed my caffeine fix and my drink was perfection), but my sister recommended this place and it is 5 out of 5. Their Tot Cream Latte was so good. It had espresso, regular milk, cinnamon, and the best part, the butterscotch caramel cream. I can't describe it other than heavenly. That butterscotch caramel was so rich and creamy. I was in between that drink (which should've been named Feels Like Heaven) and Feels Like Home. I'll definitely come back and try their other drinks.

    Gotta come back to this spot to try more drinks!! Ordered the Blueberry Cream Matcha and Vanilla Chai Latte. Both drinks weren't overly sweet and tasted so yummy. I love the whole interior inside the shop and the little tables/stools that you can sit outside as well. Great service, will definitely be back again.

    Feels Like Home drink- yum!

    Yummy! Came around 8am on a weekend, and it was already busy with many customers coming in and out. Ordered a Feels Like Home, which is an einspänner topped with cocoa powder. Also got a mushroom pastry warmed up, too, but honestly, it wasn't that warm; I had to heat it up some more back at home, but it was a flaky, buttery, and flavorful treat. The drink was delicious, strong coffee and not too sweet. Glad that Tot Coffee is a nice addition to the South Bay!

    Blueberry cream matcha - really good. The blueberry cream is sweet and the matcha is good quality. Mixing it together creates the perfect combo. I have tried some other matcha spots in the South Bay and I think this might be my favorite matcha. My husband got the yuzu jasmine tea. It's sweet but not super sweet and you can taste the tea and yuzu. However after an hour or two the tea became a bit bitter so I recommend to drink this one sooner rather than later.

    Stopped by on a Saturday morning for a beach-coffee run and Tot completely delivered. The space is funky, fresh, and eclectic--in a fun, curated way. Plenty of indoor tables for catching up, reading, or working (yes, outlets + laptop crowd spotted). Parking: So easy. Huge lot, underground garage, and street parking nearby. No stress. What I Ordered: Tot Cream Latte -- creamy, balanced, and absolutely worth the hype. Yuzu Tonic -- bright + refreshing, perfect for a sunny day. Would 100% order both again. Service: Fast and efficient (love that). Staff were fine--more transactional than chatty, which honestly works for a quick grab-and-go. Final Take: A perfect South Bay coffee stop: great drinks, fun vibe, and ideal for anything from a quick pick-me-up to a long patio hang. I'll be back.

    How have I not written a review yet for Tot? My friend initially told me about Tot, and it's not far, but not close to me (I live in Manhattan Beach). It's not convenient to get to because in between home and here, there are a dozen coffee shops.. but I will make the 15-20 min roundtrip trip for Tot. Their coffee is so good, definitely one of the best, if not the best, in the area. I also like how they have an online ordering system- makes it easy for quick pickup. I've gotten pastries here a few times and everything is excellent quality and delicious. Parking is super easy and plentiful. So happy to have Tot in the area!

    I wish this cafe was closer to me because this was some of the best coffee/lattes that I've ever had! I was at Redondo beach this past weekend for a little getaway and I love checking out new coffee shops so I had to come here. The service was great, the girl who took our order was so nice when my partner and I were being indecisive, LOL! We ended up ordering the bananamisu and tot cream latte. Both drinks had a good sweetness to coffee ratio. There's plenty of seating inside but not too sure about any outdoor seating. The only downside to the coffee shop is the plaza it's in and the lack of parking spots. I'll definitely be back again when I'm vacationing in Redondo!

    Ambiance: it's a cozy coffee shop located in Redondo beach, plenty of parking spots in the shared plaza and there's also a underground parking Service: very efficient but wouldn't make accommodations for customer requests Drink: classic and seasonal menu for coffee drinks TOT CREAM LATTE - **** milk, butterscotch caramel cream, espresso, cinnamon, creamy and tasty, recommend BLUEBERRY CREAM MATCHA - *** creamy blueberry top, and plain matcha taste Price: overall fine quality, overpriced for the quality and size of 12oz for hot and 16oz for cold drinks, not worth $7~$8 per drink

    Blues Clues & Tot Cream Latte
    Julissa R.

    I loved the iced lattes here. I tried the Blue's Clues and the Tot Cream latte. My favorite was the Blue's clues. The blueberry drizzle was the perfect touch! I also tried the mushroom pastry. It was delicious. I will definitely return to this coffee shop!

    Tot coffee is a local favorite located near the beach! The streets are always busy but lucky parking is not too shabby on the times that I visited. The exterior is beautiful and it is located amongst other stores. The people are kind and the interior is well designed! It's a perfect place to either do work or meet with friends! I recommend this place for their interior design and aesthetics. I got the matcha with Creme top and my friend got their coffee. I'm a fan of their matcha and food. Their bread is delicious and served fresh/warm! Definitely recommend Tot coffee and will be returning soon.

    Blue's clues. Yum!

    New cafe and I tried the Blues Clues specialty drink. It was excellent. It's a very clean aesthetic. It does fill up since it's not a large space. Small parking lot.

Oddly enough their logo reminds me of the logo from Boba Guys. The shop was originally rebranded from The Fika Company and this Redondo Beach location is the flagship store.

Currently, they have multiple locations in Los Angeles (Redondo Beach, Culver City, Westchester, Pasadena, Sherman Oaks, and Gardena) with new shops opening in South Pasadena (Summer 2026) and Little Italy in San Diego (Summer 2026). [Parking]: Metered parking on N Francisca Ave. Otherwise visitors will need to circle around for local street parking. [Atmosphere]: Spacious indoor seating (about five tables) and a bar table & 5-6 small outdoor bench tables and additional cozy outdoor seating. [Menu]: A straightforward coffee menu with only three syrup flavors: mocha, vanilla, and caramel. They also offer teas and various croissants. *** Vanilla latte (to-go & hot - $7.50): No latte art - just a simple hot vanilla latte. It was a solid latte with the right amount of sweetness. *** A nice coffee shop in the South Bay with a good first-date vibe and above-average drinks, but beware of the parking situation.

It is a well crafted dessert coffee. Lots of places have flavored drinks that either feel like the coffee is incidental/nonexistent, or they feel like coffee with a La Croix hint of whatever flavor is advertised. The Amai banana turon, on the other hand, is beautifully balanced. It's like eating a slice of salted caramel banana bread while drinking a latte. Both flavors are fully present and complement each other. I usually avoid foam, since I can find the texture unappealing, especially when it feels close to bubble bath suds. The foam at Amai is thick and creamy and genuinely added to the drink.

    This review is regarding a visit on June 1 between approximately 12:10 PM and 12:30 PM…read more I am leaving this feedback as a regular customer who has purchased different matcha drinks from this business on multiple occasions. I have consistently enjoyed visiting this location, which is why I am sharing this experience in detail rather than simply not returning. On this visit, I ordered the House Matcha with almond milk and paid $7.75. The drink was significantly underfilled, which resulted from my request for no ice. While I understand that removing ice can affect volume, the amount of empty space at the top of the cup made it feel like I received less than a full drink despite paying the full price. In addition, I was charged for an almond milk substitution, which further contributed to the expectation of a properly filled drink. The cup size also raised concerns. I recently ordered a Banana Cream Matcha at the same price point and received a noticeably larger cup. On this visit, the House Matcha was served in a smaller cup, and even the sleeve did not fit correctly. The combination of a smaller cup and reduced fill level created an inconsistency in value that was immediately noticeable. The most significant issue was that the drink contained no sweetness at all. The House Matcha is described as "perfectly sweet matcha" and includes agave syrup, so it is reasonable to expect sweetness as part of the standard preparation. Instead, the drink was completely unsweetened. There was no communication during ordering that sweetness needed to be selected separately, and in prior visits I have never been asked about sweetness level. This is also not the first time I have received a matcha drink without sweetness despite it being described otherwise. By the time I realized, I had already left the store and was unable to return due to time commitments, and it does not feel reasonable that multiple preparation issues should require a return visit. It is also concerning that there is no clear pricing listed next to the different matcha options in the matcha section of the menu. The lack of visible prices makes it difficult to understand the cost of each drink at the point of ordering and reduces transparency for customers. From a broader perspective, consistency issues across cup size, fill level, and recipe execution affect the overall experience. I regularly purchase specialty drinks and would be comfortable paying $7.75 if the product consistently matched the menu description, portioning was accurate, and expectations were clearly communicated at the point of sale. As someone who visits this plaza several times per month, I would genuinely like to continue supporting this business and have consistently positive experiences. That depends on clearer communication, more consistent preparation standards, and attention to detail during both ordering and fulfillment. At home, I am able to prepare matcha easily using a variety of milks, including almond, oat, coconut, cashew, pistachio, banana, and pea protein, along with simple sweeteners such as agave, maple syrup, honey, and organic brown sugar. I also keep ingredients such as whipped cream, sea salt, strawberries on hand, blueberries, and mango, allowing me to make specialty drinks like strawberry matcha, blended matcha with frozen strawberries, or other customized variations. Because of that, the value of a café drink comes down to consistency, accuracy, and convenience rather than ingredients alone. If issues such as inconsistent cup sizes, underfilling, missing ingredients, or unclear customization options are occurring across orders, it may point to a need for improved staff training and clearer standardization. Addressing these areas would likely improve the experience for both regular and first-time customers. I hope this feedback is received as constructive input from a returning customer meant to improve overall customer satisfaction and repeat business.

I'm not a fan of coffee so I'm always deciding between their mochi, fresh fruit, or iced teas etc. My go-to drinks are the Yuzu Citrus No. 8 and Jasmine Frost Iced Tea (less sweet for both options). The Yuzu Citrus has the perfect amount of tang with a slight sweetness that cuts through the acidity. The tea flavor manages to shine through the fruitiness, and overall the flavors pair well with one another. The Jasmine Frost Iced Tea is very aromatic and brewed to really highlight the Jasmine. My boyfriend normally gets the mochi mango which has soft chunks of mochi mixed, and tart/sweet mango puree. I appreciate how the smoothie is never icy, and has a creamy texture. There are plenty of seating options for people, whether it's socializing or studying. It gets pretty busy and wait-times can vary greatly; I would recommend ordering ahead of time. The staff members are friendly and helpful. The only issue I have with the spot is that the drinks do tend to be on the more expensive side, with drinks ranging from $7-9. The matcha drinks are also not the highest quality, and often the matcha tastes quite diluted. Overall a solid spot!
