    I am a sucker for Strawberry Matcha and they make a decent one here. Friendly staff. Service was great. There's this place that I love getting Passion Fruit Matcha Tonic. I'm literally obsessed; it's so good, so when I saw it on their Summer Seasonal Menu, I thought I would order it. I didn't like it as much as I do at the other place. I thought it was flat in more ways than one, but the drink looked really nice. Love the little details in this shop. The theme is really cute!

    Such a cute coffee shop! Parking was good, has good seating for the area and line was small compared to being just down the street from Chrome. Service was great! Everyone was very welcoming and eager to help. Ordered the French Toast Latte with whole milk and WOW, 10/10 I love this coffee. I want to make this my regular go to place asap.

    This is a small hidden coffee spot that can be easily missed. Found this place via google- wanted some caffeine for the road and wanted to try a new spot. Had their strawberry matcha at 50% sweetness and had to say it was delicious! Love the quality of the matcha powder they used. It was smooth to drink! Will def come back! Parking lot is compacted though so can be hard when it comes to parking, small space mostly made for to go, but there are limited seating and tables. Cute decor on airport vibes with themes of airplane tickets.

    Excellent coffee and service! I stopped here at 830 during the week and was a bit nervous with the line. However they were fast in getting orders placed and even faster with getting my coffee. By the time I pulled my phone out, my coffee was ready. The barista was fast and efficient clearly hitting his flow! Don't be worried about how fast the turnaround is because the coffee was delicious! I will be back and I'm excited to try the rest of their menu.

    This coffee shop is super cute and modern, it's very kitsch with all the airport designed things inside. We were greeted when we came in and they have a loyalty program , which I think is great. I had the first flight matcha and it was excellent perfectly balanced and creamy and the right amount of sweetness. My companions had a Spanish latte and French toast latte and both report them as being excellent Overall vibe is super chill and they had little bursts of long lines while we were there which was good to see. The staff seemed really happy and most of all efficient , can't wait to come back.

    S tier matcha!!! Might I say it is one of my top three matcha spots? I got the First Flight matcha, which is their version of a double matcha. It was so rich and the perfect sweetness for me. I mean, look at the color of that matcha. BEAUTIFUL. The size of the cup is good for the price too, and I savored each and every sip. I would also like to note that it's $1 for alternative milk. Service is good, and there is some seating in the front of the cafe and a small lounge/couch area in the back of the cafe by the restroom. There is a parking lot in front of the cafe with ample parking. They also sell some really cute merch that I was tempted to purchase. Overall, I love their travel concept and will definitely be back to taste their other matcha options.

    Halfway through the day and I really needed a caffeine kick just small case of the Sunday Blues. I stopped by right before closing and was assisted immediately. I ordered the French Toast Latte, which comes topped with a delicious cold foam. You can get it hot or iced; I went with iced and swapped the whole milk for oat milk. The cold foam is honestly the best part it's incredibly creamy and almost tastes like cheesecake! The shop has seating in both the front and back, making it a perfect spot for remote work. They also sell super cute apparel, stickers, and keychains. Definitely worth a visit!

    Located off the corner of Crenshaw Bl and Sepulveda Bl in Torrance in the little strip mall. Parking is shared with the other businesses in that little strip area so it can get filled up. This place has changed its' name many times I been here when it was Ding Tea then they changed to Lotus which I never tried and now it's First Flight Coffee. The inside hasn't changed as far as layout upon entering is the counter to place your order along the wall are some tables and seating and as you walk down the hallway to the back there are more seating basically a couple tables and a couch. I got the strawberry matcha latte it was not bad. The two gals working were friendly and service was pretty fast . Overall the spot is not bad but keep in mind there is not a lot of seating inside oh there were two small tables outside as well.

    Pretty busy at 9am on a Sunday. Got a strawberry matcha latte, spinach feta danish, and a blueberry muffin. The strawberry matcha latte tastes more like strawberry milk with a hint of matcha. Overall the flavors are not very strong. Wish it had more strawberry and matcha taste. If you don't like strong flavors or overly sweet drinks then you might like this. Blueberry muffin wasn't too sweet but had few blueberries. Danish was okay. Because it's mixed into the bread, you can't really taste the spinach or feta that much. Overall, might come back for the drinks.

    I've driven by here several times and finally stopped by on a weekend to give them a try. I got their First Flight Matcha with their matcha foam. I asked for it less sweet and paired with the foam on top, it had a nice balance of bitter/sweet to it. I think I still prefer Yeem's matcha, but this is a great alternative if you're in the area and aren't planning to go into Gardena. Parking can be difficult as spaces are limited and the actual space is pretty tight. There are some chairs inside, but I think this is more of a grab and go place.

The waitress taking my order had no personality and didn't check in on me after my food was brought over. I decided to bring my family for dinner, shortly after their official grand opening. I called in to ask if they had a table for four and I was assured they did have one available and would hold it for us over the next 20 minutes. We arrived within 13 minutes and were told that they didn't have anymore tables available and when I mentioned I'd called and one was promised to be held, I could see the "oh crap!" Look on the hostess' face. I was told once again that they didn't have a table available for us but we could sit outside in the cold, with no heater. Since I'd hyped the food up so much, my wife was eager to try it, so she asked that we sit outside and dine there; so I obliged. Service was once again mediocre. The food was tasting great when suddenly my wife spat something out; upon further examination it was literal broken glass! Seriously, broken glass! I immediately took the plate to the manager and he was apologetic and offered to "comp everything" or remake the dish. My wife was still hungry so she opted to have it remade. For me, the experience was ruined. I couldn't finish my meal, while my wife ate most of her remade meal. Once we got the check, my wife's meal was removed. I chose to not pursue the offer to "comp everything," further so I paid and we left. We've not been back and we've told everyone about our experience

After getting over the fact that there were no bean stuffed fishies for me-- I made my bold choice to get the roasted soybean flavor. Oh wow! You can get strawberry n blueberry anywhere but these multi layered Korean flavors on top of the fluffiest shave ice ever made is a treat that grows on you until before even finish it you realize you're addicted forever! Then there's more! There's another layer hidden down below - soft mochi buried inside the cup with yet ANOTHER big layer swirl of the most roasty toasty flavor that tastes just a tad salty, a bit caramelly, and somewhere n there was a coffee flavor or did I just imagine that!!?? All I know is I was already planning my return before finishing the one in my hand- yes, I'm def hooked- a goner! The next even mildly hot/ warm day I'm going to wipe my brow and something will take my brain ... causing me to end up back in Gardena for more!

There's shared parking on the ground level and underground in the plaza.

The restaurant has inside seating for 40 guests and outside for 30. We arrived between breakfast and lunchtime and were able to get the last outside table. The attentive staff got us seated right away, and after browsing through their menu, we ordered the following items (arrived in 15 minutes) : Marine: The buckwheat outer layer was soft, not soggy, and with nice resistance. The light creamy tomato-based dressing with sliced mushrooms was pleasantly flavorful. Both shrimp and scallops were of good size, fresh and juicy. Fromage: Like Marine Crepe, the buckwheat out layer was soft. The mild brie cheese provided pleasant creaminess to the filling.
