I do feel a little bad because the workers gave me another drink when I didn't like mine, but the second one was just as bad. The milk tasted sour.. the espresso tasted burnt.. the coconut cold foam was not sweet at all. The Bee Keeper Latte has great presentation but is probably the worst latte I've tried in 2026. The vanilla latte was terrible too. The matcha latte was honestly alright. It was tolerable, but I would not come back.

Hands down the best coffee shop in the South Bay. A wonderful variety of seasonal pastries,…read morebreakfast items, and coffee and tea drinks. Parking is a bit challenging as there are only 4-5 spots in the lot, but plenty of street parking both on Aviation and in the residential neighborhood. Interior of the coffee shop is so cute, lots of tchotchkes and one of a kind cards, sauces, and even their signature lavender syrup for sale. Plenty of seats inside to plop down with your laptop and do some work, or sit on the patio outside with your dogs. I've been coming here at least once a week since I discovered it. I'm bummed the pistachio latte is seasonal (and sold out!) but the brown sugar latte, either hot or iced, from their standard menu is absolutely divine. Coffee lovers, this place is for you!

They close at 2, so schedule all your meetings around 1 pm and VIOLA... you have a reason to keep to your schedule! This is such a find. It's like entering a hidden, refined world. Literal steps from the beach. Wow.

So when we heard they were opening a new location in the Redondo Village, we were excited. Even more so to learn they'd be offering dinner and cocktails as well. For a newly opened location, we were thrilled to see they were already well staffed. Coffee and water were served quickly, giving us time to look over the menu. The moment I closed the menu, a server was right there ready to take our order. It was really busy when we visited, so we expected a wait for our food, but no, 10 minutes later our omelette and eggs Benedict arrived. A few minutes after that, the owner stopped by to chat, and we learned how they were able to open the restaurant so quickly. (Turns out it wasn't quick at all, they'd been looking for a location for quite some time.) We were so impressed that we went back two days later for a late afternoon sandwich. The Village was already thriving, but with Martha's here, it just keeps getting better.

Jenny's latte's are super smooth and rich, with no bitterness. We don't how she does it but we love it when she makes our lattes.

It was nice that they had options for coffee sizes/cups, had pastries and light brunch options and etc... the downside is that the large was almost 8 dollars! The indoor space is pretty wide open and would make a good study spot. They also have a few tables outside but is fairly loud because the shop is located at the corner of busy streets. In regard to the vanilla bean coffee, it was okay; not the greatest or worst I've had. Overall, the space and vibe i get is an upgraded Starbucks feel. Good customer service and mediocre coffee.

It is bright and airy and perfect for a relaxed Saturday afternoon lunch. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome, almost like we had been invited over to a relative's or friend's home. The menu is approachable and thoughtful, with some really delightful Greek dishes. And yes, Uncle Stavros has to be Greek, right? My wife and I shared the Greek salad and the chicken gyro. Both plates looked amazing and tasted just as good. I almost went with the beef and lamb gyro, but for lunch the chicken felt right, and it did not disappoint. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The salad was full of great flavors and textures. After tasting the gyro chicken, we both agreed the salad would be even better with that same chicken added in. The real showstopper, though, was the pita. I honestly cannot remember the last time I had a gyro where the pita itself stood out. It was so good that we ordered extra to take home. All around, it was a fantastic experience. I was surprised to see some of the lower Yelp reviews, but after reading them, they seemed to focus on things like an Apple Pay issue, an unfriendly waitress, or even a chair being moved. We experienced none of that. What we did experience was great food, warm hospitality, and friendly regulars who added to the neighborhood vibe. We really enjoyed Uncle Stavros Cafe and cannot wait to return. 5 stars.

Only reason we came here is because we wanted to try Australian food and this definitely had some of the good stuffs. You need to order through this app or order over that counter and then sit at the tables outside or take something to go. But the name of the restaurant isn't very visible because it's through a food platform I believe. Either way, everything here was delicious! Peppered Steak Pie - This was so light and so yummy! The beef on the inside was very flavorful and went really well with that puff pastry. North Carolina this was so light it's like every bite just disappeared in your mouth! And it's not just me saying this. Husband also felt the same! Chicken Thai Curry Pie - I have no idea how that feeling is so creamy and cheesy on the inside of the puff pastry! Really nice filling one here, and it's very satisfying both in flavor and quantity! Lamington - This was served cold so it took me a little bit by surprise because I was expecting a normal room temperature Lamington. Either way, it tasted really delicious. Soft sponge cake with Rich chocolate and then the shredded coconut outside. Makes me want to try to make one of these myself haha! Anzac Biscuit - this was really soft and warm when they served it! It's like it was actually freshly baked and would just melt in your mouth! Overall totally recommend this place!
