    french toast latte
    Mollie P.

    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.

    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.

    One of my favorite matcha shops in the south bay! I particularly love their hojicha matcha-it's double foam too! LOVE! They just released their summer menu although I havnt tried any yet im excited to try.

    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.

    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.

    Solid matcha. Location/Parking: the parking lot is pretty small and narrow. The parking lot could be easy to miss. Service: servers were smiley and cheerful. The drinks come out fast since most of their bases are pre-made. Vibes: not a lot of seating, so it is more of a grab-and-go kind of spot. There are some tables and chairs in the front and a few more in the back where you can find people studying/working. Drink: I've tried the sparkling Yuzu Ade and the First Flight Matcha, and would definitely say that the First Flight Matcha is the better of the two. The Yuzu Ade was just way too bitter for my liking; I took a few sips and couldn't drink any more. The matcha on the other hand, was really good! I drank it up so quickly and I enjoyed the matcha cream top. It wasn't too overpowering of a matcha flavor, with just the right amount of sweetness. Would come back again for the First Flight Matcha.

    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.

    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!

    Strawberry matcha latte
    Julia H.

    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.

    The French toast latte is their best seller and for good reason. It is a balanced and perfectly sweet. We also tried the Spanish latte (iced), honey cinnamon latte (hot), spinach croissant and a slice of banana bread. Everything was great. Just a heads up, the spinach was very garlicky and the hot honey cinnamon latte tasted more like a tea. Not bad just thought we'd give our notes. - South Bay Coffee Buzz

    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.

When we walked in the first words out of the hostess's lips were "Do you have a reservation?" Hardly welcoming. Fortunately, our waiter, Dennis, was very gracious and attentive. I honestly didn't get a Japanese vibe, maybe because I rarely go to dine on pasta. I ordered the Unico Bolognese which was very flavorful and a good size portion. Our waiter asked if we'd like some garlic bread and we got two pieces for $6 which we felt should have been complimentary. But the garlic bread had a nice flavor and went well with the meal. My guest had the Uni Truffle and loved it. He said he'd love to dine here again and I feel the same way. The menu was large so we need to explore other items next time. All in all they're doing a very good job managing the establishment.

    Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Redondo Beach…read more Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this place, it's one of my favorites. I especially love the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream, which is always delicious. One of the reasons I prefer this Redondo Beach location is their generous portions. They also allow you to choose two different flavors on a sugar cone, which some other locations (like Glendale) do not allow, they require the same flavor. That flexibility definitely makes a difference. Parking is plentiful, the service is excellent, and the ambiance is nice since you're enjoying your ice cream outdoors. Overall, it's a great spot, and I highly recommend it if you're in the area.

I only completed the purchase because I had promised my kids ice cream, but the overall experience was disrespectful, unprofessional, and felt discriminatory. I would not recommend this place, especially for families.

When scanning the shops for a caffeination boost, I couldn't stop thinking about the "Over Caffeinated Cold Brew Float" I saw advertised at Moom Maam. So intriguing! I circled back and ordered the indulgent morning treat, slightly skeptical of such a mix. I'm happy to report though that yes, it was a monstrosity to have first thing in the morning but I'd do it again in a second. You get to pick what flavor gelato is in the coffee and I went with chocolate to which they replied, great choice! I agree, it was such a good mix with the cold coffee brew. The gelato was so creamy with amazing flavor, I can't wait to come back and try more off their menu!

    Tried Moom Maam at Smorgasburg Los Angeles at ROW DTLA, the big Sunday pop-up food event downtown…read more The event itself was pretty cool, although a few of the vendors I was hoping to try apparently didn't show up that day. Luckily this was one of the stands that had good reviews, so I gave it a shot. Between the language barrier and my excitement for dessert, I somehow ended up ordering more than I planned. The ice cream was good and the Asian-inspired flavors were definitely different from the usual. It didn't completely blow my socks off, but it was a solid treat. I kept thinking a little syrup or extra topping would've taken it up another level. Overall, glad I tried it. Half the fun of these food events is randomly discovering stuff you normally wouldn't eat anyway. I'd probably check out their Torrance brick-and-mortar location sometime and give them another shot.
