Mai coffee & tea house gets busy and crowded with people and there's a reason why!…read more We got there around 11 am and the place was already pretty full. We ordered the biscoff coffee & marble drip. For food we got the plain croissant & ham & cheese croissant. Service was kind & quick! And our cashier gave great recommendations. Mai coffee is the place to go if you want a good strong drink! Their croissants were also delicious and flaky. We even got to try their teas and those were delicious on the hot day we went. They have lots of seats and there's lots of parking as well, so it shouldn't be an issue.

First time at Mai and I was impressed!…read more We got the new cheese top biscoff coffee, mochi mango, and black sesame coffee. They use high-quality Vietnamese coffee that were strong and bold but not extremely bitter. It was milky and perfectly sweet. I loved the biscoff crumbs and the caramel after taste of the biscoff coffee. The sesame coffee tasted like a mix of oreos in a coffee drink. The mochi mango highlighted the fresh mangoes very well and the subtle chewiness of the mochi paired perfectly in the drink. This will be a new go-to in Gardena. Plus, there's plenty of parking and they are reasonably priced!

Chocolate bread and banana bread were delicious, esp when they warm it up for you. Staff were friendly and quick. Easy to park in the lot. Love how there's no more long lines.

Yum! Adorable coffee shop with such great vibes!…read more Parking was easy since it's in a small plaza. I came on a weekday afternoon so there wasn't any line but there were plenty of people sipping on their lattes inside and hanging out. I ordered the Vienna Matcha since it is their most popular item and I'm not from here so I wanted to try what they're most known for. The latte was so good! Not that sweet until you mixed the foam and even then it wasn't overly sweet. It was just right. The girl helping me seemed very sweet and kind and ready to answer any questions I had. Since I was on the road I wanted to also try one of their pastries so I got the mushroom croissant with cheese and that tasted so good especially warmed up. It was like having a mini pizza. I'm glad I got to try this spot!

Loved that it wasn't sweet and just was a perfect sip. Also decided to try the ricotta croissant. It was good but it's ricotta and jam.. so you have a hint of sweetness. All in all nice coffee/tea latte spot. And if I came back I'd love to try the hojicha latte. Note - There is no seat inside but plenty outside the store.

I'm not one to write reviews but I had to say something…read more First off, love the coffee here. Needed to mention that yesterday the employees did a great job handling a rude and disgruntled customer. Kudos to the Nook for keeping it professional. The staff is always super friendly and they make my Spanish latte perfect every time. Sucks they have to deal with crazy people time to time but hey, that's life!

Not too sweet, not too bitter. The service at this place is top notch! The workers are so sweet and hands the drink out to you. I love the atmosphere there! It's super cozy, a place where everyone can have peace and study. If I had a place to choose to study, definitely here!

I saw this place on Yelp and wanted to check it out since it's so close to my house. I'm glad I…read moredid! There is plenty of parking, and it's located in a small plaza, which makes it easy to find. The cafe itself is very spacious with lots of natural sunlight and a nice, relaxing atmosphere. The space is beautifully decorated, I love the art work on the walls. I especially loved the cute Vietnamese-style chairs. It feels like a great place to spend a few hours. There's plenty of seating whether you want to work, study, or catch up with friends. They also have a large variety of drinks on the menu, so there's something for everyone. I ordered the matcha. It was a little more bitter and astringent than I personally prefer, but that's just my taste. Overall, I really enjoyed the space and atmosphere, and I'll definitely be back to try some of their other drinks!

As you may have read in other reviews, El Sereno Greengrocer features different coffee pop-ups at…read moreits location, and I them for that as it provides us the opportunity to explore different vendors we may not otherwise come in contact with. For May, TLC Coffee Co. was featured. This vendor had a cute setup and it was a sweet duo of mom and daughter. Ya'll already know lavender drinks are my thing of the moment so I had the iced honey lavender latte. I could not taste any honey but the lavender syrup, which is homemade, was good. The coffee beans, however, just didn't come through on this drink though, hence the three . So, for me it was just another latte lacking that sparkle I look for in my coffee. Glad I got the chance to try this vendor but I wouldn't seek them out at further events.

Laura and Carol were especially warm, cheerful, and attentive, which made the experience even better. We ordered the chilaquiles and the breakfast sandwich, and both were fantastic. The chilaquiles were fresh and full of flavor with crispy tortilla chips topped with a rich green sauce, egg, cheese, and red onion. The breakfast sandwich was a generous portion on a warm brioche bun with thick bacon, egg, chipotle sauce, and fresh greens. We also tried the churros, which were clearly made fresh to order. They were not overly sweet, perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft inside. The horchata coffee was absolutely divine and something I would come back just for. Everything here is made fresh, and you can taste the difference. The outdoor seating area with music created such a joyful, relaxing atmosphere and made the whole morning feel special. I can't recommend this place enough!

And the time we waited for two drinks was 28 minutes from the time we got in line, (with no one ahead of us in line) not worth it at all The girls were friendly but they were not efficient in service. They advertise chisme in form of little post it notes but you can't actually write any chisme in yourself. They might have run out of post it notes but who knows. The coffee shop was pretty and low lit which I appreciate but it was very small and felt kind of cluttered. They have outdoor seating tho. Paid $18.58 just to toss my coffee in the trash.... Im a bit of a coffee snob so please take this review with a grain of salt.

I got a ticket while I was in the cafe. I suggested to the people working there that they should warn their customers as this is new to all of us from here. They said, and I quote "they have signs everywhere and the signs are there for a reason." There was no need to say this in this way. Rude, dismissive, and no they had no intention to help tell their customers. If you are part of this community its because you want support us as much as we support you guys. Straight up just don't care. Not sure I want to support this business any more.
