    Hokkaido Milk Tea with Boba
    Ivy K.

    One of the better Boba shops in the area. The boba is soft and chewy and has the right bounce. When the boba hits just right, it makes or breaks a location. Their boba did not disappoint. I ordered the Hokkaido Milk Tea this time. I think I like their regular Black Milk Tea a little more. But it was good either way. Every time I've ordered from this place, the drink is scrumptious. The service is nice, efficient and fast and gets your order to you in a timely manner. They have a secret menu on the chalkboard, so you can order some specialty drinks that they have. They have macarons to order from too. A decent amount of seating, although they could replace some of their seating as its becoming dilapidated. It feels like you're in a home because of the couch, table, and board games. There's a parking lot for parking your car. The location is sort of hidden and you have to pay attention to the signs find it in a nondescript strip mall. But for San Pedro, I'm glad I have a place to go to for Boba drinks, and besides Boba Time. Boba Time has no seating.

    My go to post lagree matcha spot since it's right next to lagree studio. They make my matcha just the way I like it unsweetened with extra matcha but their matcha quality is alright like it just isn't strong enough and tastes way more milky as you can see by the color so it's def not the highest quality matcha but is also not the worse. It does the job for convenient post workout but nothing to write home about.

    Visited for the first time and had a great experience! The shop was decorated beautifully for Halloween, and they had a menu with special Halloween items! I tried the Fruity Pebble Smoothie (from the Halloween items menu) with boba, and absolutely loved it. I'm a fan of fruity pebble flavored desserts, and this hit the spot. Their menu and secret menu, posted on the wall were very unique and had so many flavors I want to come back to try! Service was great. The staff was friendly and worked hard to make the orders quickly. I visited on a weekday late afternoon, and there were a few people waiting before us, and several who came in after, so it was pretty busy! Definitely will be back again soon and often!

    Cali Milk Tea

    I went with their CaliTea Milk Tea since it was number 1 on their Top 5 list. Plus, I love milk tea. I wanted something to wake me up a little and this definitely did that. It actually woke me up a lot and lasted throughout the day/ night. Service was great. Fast and friendly. When I went, there were a bunch of people inside and people ahead of me in line. However, the line moved quickly. It's a great spot! I definitely want to come back and try other drinks here. Plenty of parking, but it is a busy parking lot; at least when I went. Would recommend if you're in the area. : )

    Tropic Osmanthus
    Jenn G.

    I am always on the look out for boba spots and finally got to try out Calitea! I'd spotted Calitea a few times and was quite curious about their drinks. I chose to get the Tropic Osmanthus. I thought the name was interesting and found out it is Osmanthus tea with lychee and guava. When I heard lychee and guava; I was definitely intrigued. My drink was $6.50 total. The drink itself was $5.90 and I paid an additional 60 cents for the lychee jelly. Overall the Tropic Osmanthus was a refreshing drink. It was my first time ever having Osmanthus tea and I could taste slight fruity and flowery tones. The lychee and guava flavors were there though a little light. I was happy that I added some lychee jelly to the drink. They gave a fair share of lychee and I thought it gave a nice sweet touch tot he drink. The drink was slightly on the pricey side for $6.50 but was overall glad to have checked this place out and try out Osmanthus tea for the first time.

    Chai notice

    The chai latte is amazing. I thought the order was wrong it had so much flavor. I returned the next morning and noticed the sign alerting of flavor. Have I been cheated my whole life with fake chai? Highly recommend! Very quiet and friendly coffee shop. Drinks are very high quality.

    Had to check this place out out of curiosity. It was a hot day and we wanted something refreshing to drink. There's quite a bit on their menu. You can design your own drink, or pick one of the boba flavors on the menu. They also serve coffee and espresso drinks if tea and boba aren't your thing! I decided on the mango kumquat while my sisters got rose green tea with boba and Cali milk tea (a mixture of two different teas). The teas were kind of light. Mine was still pretty sweet despite it being 50% sweetness. Was it Quality...ahem CaliTea? Nah. Not the best bubble tea I've had. But I did see a lot of families with their kids here, so it must appeal more to them. The staff was all super young. Maybe high school aged kids. Parking isn't too bad. It's located in a strip with a bunch of spaces to park in the parking lot. The space inside is pretty modern. There's a handful of tables and some folks were on their laptops and one family was sitting on a couch playing games. They do have a few tables outside too. They also sell baked goods and a few lunch items. They randomly sell candles too. LOL

    seating
    Lauren B.

    The service was nice and there were a lot of spots for seating inside, but the tea itself tasted watered down, even after getting less ice. My friend had gotten a taro milk tea, which wasn't as thick as other taros that you find and also tasted watered down. Overall, wouldn't come to the business just to get tea unless I really wanted boba and it was the only option nearby.

    Been coming here since they opened. My wife makes us visit every new coffee shop in the South Bay…read moreas she loves to try all the new things she sees on Tiktok. While some of them are okay, we always ALWAYS end up coming back to Corridor Flow the next week. Yes there might be a chic looking cafe with some fancy fad drink or a roaster just opened up their new industrial styled flagship store. But look forward to copious amounts of sugar covering up the taste of badly roasted beans or concrete blocks used as chairs and grossly high water to bean ratios. It should be a crime to sell over a 15:1 ratio. So why do we keep coming back to Corridor. Obv the coffee is great. The normal drip blend is something all coffee shops in the southbay should look to as an example. They used to use stereoscope beans which is known to be one of the best local roasters, and probably have a partnership with them because the roast is still exceptional. The coffee is flavorful, great mouthfeel, NOT watered down, just enough complexity to keep you curious but not so intense it is not longer balanced. If you actually like coffee, real coffee. This is the spot. It's like a slightly lighter cup of handsome coffee and a way better bang for the buck than blue bottle. They are constant supporters of artists and small businesses in the community, they have awesome style, like seriously their branding is legit. There are plugs everywhere. Like everywhere. Even in the back shaded patio. It's a great spot for getting work done. They even have an entire back area coworking space with private phone booths, printers, and all sorts of business supplies. The business is family owned and run. I forgot the owners names but the guy is an amazing individual and constantly is walking around connecting with people in the shop. I recently complimented someone on their style and the owner happened to be sitting across from me working, and then complimented me for being aware, present, and noticing things that made other people smile. This guy literally complimented me on complimenting others. Dude is meta af. The community is great and this is a big plus. This coffeeshop tends to attract just really honest and good-hearted people. I've met so many cool people here that are passionate about pursuing great things and moving humanity forward. In this time and day where there is so much hate and animosity, this is one of those very rare places where people can connect again. There is seriously no other coffee shop like it. It's comfortable. It's perfect for first dates, casual lunches, catching up with old friends, taking the kids somewhere (they have a dedicated children's section), grabbing a great cup togo (thank you for that dedicated pickup parking spot). and of course, getting work done. We've introduced at LEAST 30 people to this hidden gem over the years, and almost every single one of them says this is the best coffee shop they've ever been to. Yes parking sucks. But it's worth it. I looked around for parking for almost 20 minutes a couple months ago. Blame the city, not the coffee shop. They basically shut off public parking for the whole street opposite of the shop. I hope you guys open up another location someday. I know it's hard to expand in this day and age, but you guys seriously have a fantastic formula. Bravo friends. Cheers.

The vibe of the shop gives minimalist - nothing flashy about this place, but it's clean and you can even purchase merch from there too. One major con: small, cramped parking lot. For this reason, I'm usually in for a quick pick me up and out.

The cream puff was delicious and not too sweet, however for the size of it, I don't think it is worth the $4.00 price tag. The strawberry croissant on the other hand was cheaper and also very tasty and I would say it's worth the price tag.
