    A charming little coffee shop on PCH. Inside is simply decorated and that makes it clean. Clean lines, no clutter. Good for people that don't like to be overstimulated. Small seating area inside and patio seating out the back door. I ordered the French Toast Latte, iced. Very good. They have a small menu. I like a small menu. Took a couple minutes to decide what I wanted. Service was friendly and fast. Smiles and thanks.

    Hi-Fi Espresso in Redondo Beach is a great little neighborhood gem. It's a small spot with true local vibes, the kind of place that feels welcoming the moment you walk in. Their pastry selection is nicely mixed, with plenty of options to pair perfectly with your coffee. Everything feels thoughtfully chosen and fresh. The staff really stands out. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there, which makes the experience even better. Whether you're stopping in for a quick coffee or hanging out for a bit, Hi-Fi Espresso is the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommend supporting this local spot.

    I loved everything about this place from the staff to the vibes inside everything was just right! They have a ton of seating inside and outside plus the iced matcha latte was good! Ceremonial matcha as the girl told me which I love because a lot of other places I've tried it's tasted way greener than usual. I definitely recommend this place to everyone!

    I like the name and it's very convenient. However, I go to alot of coffeeshops and this one struck me as pretty average but trying to seem better. First negative is the prices are very high for small cups and my mocha was kind of gross and powdery. Service was not too friendly and I had to ask where the stirrers were located. It's also very small so I hopped back on my bike and left. I will not repeat visit.

    My wife and I were on a walk and saw a sign for their French toast cold foam. Sounded delicious! We stopped in and I used the restroom which was very clean. The drink was good the cold foam was perfect not too much and not too little either. The shop is very cute too. Will definitely come back.

    Solid matcha latte! I added vanilla syrup to make it sweeter. I love that they don't charge extra for alternative milk options like oat or coconut. Their drinks are a bit pricey. My mom tried the French toast latte which has maple syrup, vanilla, & cinnamon. If you like your drinks on the sweeter side I'd recommend adding some agave in your drink before you go! Parking is located in the back of the store :)

    I was in the area today & decided to stop in. I ordered their "French toast latte". The latte was so good & it wasn't too sweet ! I added cold foam onto the drink as well. The customer service was great & I will definitely be back.

    Simply put, my daughter sent me to experience the French toast latte. I walked in and basically said just that. The place is small. I found good parking in the back and walked through the back door. Very friendly staff and made the entire brief experience pleasant. The feel of the cafe was clean, quaint and accommodating. Get the French toast latte. It's heaven.

    Quality espresso, unique and creative blends of syrup/flavored lattes, it just doesn't feel like the espresso is strong enough even though the quality is there. I want to like it more than I do, we have visited each time on our visits to LA area and I rank in my top, but it's not my favorite spot in the area. This location is a very tight spot, but thankfully it wasn't busy. Bf got the french toast latte and felt like it wasn't sweet enough for him, I did the coyote and as much as I love orange-vanilla (and cinnamon) flavored things, I just don't think orange and espresso pair well together (IMO). The ambiance is stunning, beautiful modern beachy vibes. Service was quick.

    Bring back the coyote syrup. Or better yet, sell the syrup in bottles. Lattes are good, but the coyote syrup is the best.

    Not the best latte but convenient location, quick pickup and online ordering makes it a go-to.

    I would see this place pop up on my social media quite a bit especially since they plan on…read moreexpanding and adding a new location..... sooooo I decided if I'm in Hermosa, let's go ahead and finally give it a go. I had a pretty solid positive outlook on them. I ordered the "French Toast Latte". I feel like it should have been called the Burnt toast latte. I genuinely took 3 sips and tossed it away in the trash can on the side walk. I tried to mix it and grabbed a straw to do so and it made it WORSE. I'm extremely disappointed that I wasted $7 on a latte. I've had bad coffees before, but this one took the cake. It tasted like milk, and the espresso tasted acidic, burnt have you. At least with other bad coffees I could stomach at least half of it but this was just really acidic. I noticed other people mentioning the coffee scene in LA isn't the same anymore and this attested to that. They started picking up foot traffic & I wasn't going to wait to ask for a remake or anything, I took the L and life moves on. I wasn't going to play Karen about it. The Lamington pastry somewhat saved the experience. This was an extremely moist, spongy, sweet cake that was delicious with coconut flakes on top. She was AMAZING. I snagged a piece off my friends and it was reeallllly good. I would recommend if you like coconut and a softer spongy cake like pastry! Talk about the underdog in this trip. The aesthetic is cute, it's clean and resembles a house. I like the scheme they have going on. The other half looks like a gift shop that I did not go into. They have a restroom available as well inside. Customer service was just customer service. Nothing amazing or bad about it. Pretty standard. We mentioned it's our first time & the girl didn't really care lol. We had questions and it was very whatever kind of vibe. No enthusiasm. Parking would be on the street so good luck!

    I used to really enjoy the atmosphere, but over time things changed. Some employees started…read moretreating me poorly as a customer, and that didn't feel right. I'm an adult woman, almost 48, and I don't appreciate being told how I should behave in a disrespectful way. At one point, an employee even told me not to talk to other customers--even when they were the ones starting conversations with me. That felt like bullying. Thankfully, that employee is no longer there, but the overall attitude still hasn't fully improved. I've been bringing my two dogs with me for a long time without any issues. Recently, I was told I can't use the bathroom anymore--even just to quickly wash my hands before eating. I understand rules about dogs not being allowed in certain areas, and that was explained properly, but the way everything was handled felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. Because of this shift in attitude, I've noticed other customers have stopped coming as well, like Alex and Trisha. Some people have even mentioned that the overall environment and customer treatment aren't as good as they used to be. It's disappointing, because this used to be a place I really liked. Now it feels like the attitude has changed, and not in a good way.
