Very cool and hip coffee shop in Inglewood. My aura went up 1000 points coming here…read more No but really, the coffee was great, and I like that they have a variety of drinks here. It's also quite pleasant to spend time inside or outside where I enjoyed my coffee with some friends. One of my friends even got some beans to go! This is a very cool small business, and I saw that they have a DTLA location now, so will have to check that out.

They dont have much to eat...only a few muffins, cookies, and croissants. We ordered a matcha latte and hot chocolate, along with a couple of muffins. Everything tasted good. This is a nice spot for a drink and conversation. It has a great neighborhood vibe.

I normally only drink coffee once a day, but I came here three times in one day, and every visit was amazing. Their Banana Matcha is hands down the best I've ever had, and the Espresso Tonic with real fruit purée is just as good. The croissant and bagel were both delicious and generously filled. The space is huge, with plenty of tables and couches, making it perfect for working or just relaxing. The staff is incredibly friendly, and they're open from 5:30 AM to 11 PM, which is almost unheard of for a coffee shop. Now whenever I'm in the area, I can't help but stop by. One of my favorite coffee shops in LA.

I've been going to MAI coffee for the past couple of months, and I've been able to try out their…read morevariety of options. 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!

Thoroughly enjoyed the coffee - I ordered a half sweet iced white chocolate mocha with oat milk. Great lighting and gentle ambiance. I'll definitely be back to play chess and chat, read a book, or get some work done. They are the perfect location. Edward Vincent Park is also ~10 minute walk away. Super excited to have a locally owned coffee shop in the area. Just wish they were open later than 3pm!

The toast is apparently so good that they ran out when we got there! I'll have to come and update this review when I get a chance to try it. I got a cold brew and a coffee cake muffin, my bf got a matcha. I have to say I've never had cold brew this good, and that's without sweetener! They use Groundwork beans but didn't confirm if that's what the cold brew was made from. The muffin was also delicious, very soft and moist, tastes homemade. My boyfriend, who doesn't like muffins, loved it! And after his 1st sip of matcha he said it's 'the truth'. The women's working at the counter were very nice and personable. The service was pretty quick too. I love the warm, plant aesthetic the shop has too. 10/10 recommend, I look forward to coming back for to try the avocado toast

I only wish they made larger drink sizes (especially when it's hot). The Vienna latte (with oat…read moremilk) on ice is usually my order. It's delicious, and I love to drink through the cream on top before later swirling it a bit. The matcha ginger date scone is the best scone I've ever had in my life. I'm not usually a scone person. Perfect amount of sweetness and balance. It's good to split with someone, and don't forget to get it heated up. When I'm feeling matcha, I get the Vienna matcha (with oat milk). It's really good. This place can get busy, so order ahead online if you don't want to miss out on treats. And don't forget your jacket. It's cold inside, as they need to cool the place for their espresso machine (or so I was told). They've changed up the chairs a bit to improve the ambiance, but it's more of a spot to grab a drink and go than hang out. My fav coffee shop in Gardena.

I ordered a decaf oat latte and avocado toast - the avocado toast was more flavorful than the usual I have, which was a nice surprise. Our group took up a sizable number of tables, so Carmen came over and offered to let us use the back area the next time we come if we give her a heads up. The food and drinks were on point, the staff were friendly, and we felt so welcomed! Will definitely be back to support this community cafe.
