    Ethiopian au lait. Delicious
    Elizabeth H.

    Cozy and intimate coffee bar. Husband actually found this location for me and I absolutely loved the pour over. Wish we had time to sit down for coffee to enjoy the deep moody setting but was in a rush, so took it for take out. I really appreciate the barista's knowledge in his beans and his patience in explaining the details. Will need to be back whenever we are in the area !

    Drove in from Las Vegas early Saturday morning and found Knot Alone on Yelp. Convenient location right off the 91 freeway and 3 doors down from Rascals. Walked into the place and the atmosphere felt like a luxury spa that smelled of fresh ground coffee. Ordered a latte made with Indonesia beans and whole milk. The latte was the perfect balance of strong and silky smooth with a mild scent of fruit. Happy to find high quality coffee in Gardena! Check knotalone_coffeeroaster IG account for shop hours.

    Knot Alone Coffee Roasters is a cute cozy spot for anyone who truly appreciates quality coffee. My friends and I stopped by to try it out, and we were really impressed. I ordered the latte, made from Ethiopian beans, and it was smooth, well balanced, and clearly made with care. The vibes are great: cozy, relaxed, and welcoming. The owner is incredibly kind and clearly works hard, which makes supporting this new spot even better. Overall, it's a great place to visit, and I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the area.

    I love this place. Their bean selection is solid and the drink choices are good. I will be coming back. Justen told me about the shop and about the coffee and was very cool. The coffee was astounding. I bought some beans too. I highly recommend this roaster! I can't wait to make some drinks with these beans.

    Incredible, pour-over focused coffee shop! Justen really knows his craft and I'm so impressed with every drink I've gotten. My sister usually gets a vanilla latte, but since he doesn't do syrups, she decided to try without it. She kept raving about how the roast had so much flavor and sweetness from the beans itself, it didn't even need the syrup she thought she wanted in the first place! The coffee here is so fresh and high-quality. Also the vibe of the shop is this peaceful oasis that really adds to your experience. I love this place!!!

    This coffee bar is incredible, there is almost always a wait (especially during noon so prepare for…read morethat) but it's always 100% worth it. Their coffee is phenomenal. I have gone with a few people many times and our favorites are: the Spanish latte, Mexican Chai, Chai Latte, and Mocha Latte. The Spanish latte is especially good, and the Chai latte is the best I have had in my life it's so well made. The Mexican Chai I can only describe as a cinnamon heaven with the best Chai base flavor ever. The Mocha latte is heavy in the best way possible, it's super strong and I love it. The best part I think for all the drinks is the baristas do not hold back on the coffee, and you always get your moneys worth. None of it is water down, and it's such a great pick me up. I can't really speak on the Matcha cause no one in my group has tried it since we aren't really big Matcha enjoyers. But I have been told that the strawberry Matcha is transcendent and absolutely fantastic. They have a bunch of Matcha flavor options as well, which would be amazing if I was a Matcha connoisseur, but unfortunately, I'm not . So I can't really speak well on that yet, but have only told fantastic things about it. The workers are all kind and work really fast so you get your drinks really quickly even though the line is pretty long. I will say the best time to go and get drinks is around in the morning when they open around 7:30 on the weekends. Again I have to restate wait is always 100% worth it for the amazing quality drinks you will get. I also forgot to mention the fact, you can customize your drinks to have different types of milk and they also have a bunch of other vegan food options as well. I think this is amazing even though my group doesn't really get those options, because I've been told even when people change out the milk, it taste the exact same, which I think is absolutely incredible. (Side note I may update this when I take a photo next time I go because I always forget to before I put on the top on and start drinking ) The experience is great. The drinks are absolutely incredible and the workers are very nice and very helpful.5/5 stars

Made with coconut, macadamia syrup, and oat milk by default, it had a perfectly balanced, tropical flavor--great for vegans or the lactose intolerant. However, it's not the best spot for working or studying. The WiFi was so slow that I had to use my personal hotspot, and the seating consists of benches and mini tables that aren't comfortable for long periods. There are a few outlets, but you have to cross the street to a food court to use the bathroom. They have a shared parking lot out front. I'll definitely be back for the Island Matcha, but not to get work done!

    Super chill spot that is big on community!…read more Location/Parking: located near a bunch of other small businesses in Gardena. You'll be able to find free street parking somewhere on the block. Service: there was just one guy that was there when I went (who I assumed to be the owner) and he was super helpful and kind. Very welcoming and easy to talk to! Vibes: chill, funky, casual spot to just vibe at. I believe there is a hangout spot in the back of the store, but I didn't have the chance to check it out-- I'll have to check it out next time. Drink: That peach cobbler matcha was absolutely delicious. I downed it so fast because it was so good! It legitimately tasted like there was a peach cobbler in my matcha. So good. Not too sweet, just the right amount of cinnamon, and the peach worked well with the matcha. I appreciate good food and drinks, but even more than that I appreciate excellent service and a hospitable host. Good Coffee has both of these things which is why I highly recommend it and will definitely be back for that peach cobbler matcha!

    The service wasn't great and only one drink was good or correct. I'm still not 100% sure one of…read morethem was the correct drink. I ordered 2 drinks through the app yesterday, the Honey Bori Latte (seasonal) and the Banana Milk Latte. The Banana Milk Latte was delicious once everything was mixed well, but the Honey Bori Latte was just bitter and then less bitter when mixed. It was already half melted, there was no salted honey cold foam or Jolly Pong which is supposed to be part of the drink. I got the order to go, so I didn't notice that my drink was wrong until I got home, so I couldn't even get it corrected. I didn't realize the drink was wrong at first. I thought it was just a flavor I didn't like even though I noted that I couldn't taste Barley at all. Then half way throught it, I decided to look at the description on the app to remember what it was supposed to taste like because it tasted like an ordinary flavorless latte. The description said there's barley milk, salted honey cold foam and Jolly Pong. That's when it hit me that I either got the wrong drink or someone didn't make it right because there was no flavor of salted honey and definitely no Jolly Pong in my drink. It didn't even look like I had cold foam topping my drink, but maybe that's because it was melting already. Overall, I was very upset and disappointed with my drink, but was happy my mom's drink was fine. Now this is only a part of why I was dissapointed with yesterday's experience. The other reason was the app and workers. Maybe the workers aren't used to working with the Smoking Tiger app yet? Or maybe the app still needs work, but the drinks I ordered through the app took forever to be marked ready even though my drinks had been ready for some time which was obvious because my Honey Bori Latte was already half mixed because the layers of ingredients were melting into each other. I arrived at the cafe about 5 minutes after ordering, but the app's estimated wait time was another 10 minutes which wasn't a problem for me, especially since I saw a person waiting for his order and some people inside the cafe, although it wasn't full like usual. I just assumed some people ordered before me, so I just have to wait a bit, which again was fine with me especially since I was waiting for my mom to arrive. At some point after the one person waiting for their drink left, I realized the 2 girls at the counter were just talking and not making any drinks. I checked the app and it still said my order was being prepared. After 2 more people ordered their drinks and received them immediately, I went up to the counter, by this point it had been the app's estimated 10 minute wait. I told the girl with glasses my name and showed her the order on my phone. Then she walked toward the fridge and got my drinks, put them in a drink carrier, passed them to me and then turned around while looking at the receipt paper that was with the drinks. That was it. She didn't tell me which drink was which and they were not labeled, so my mom and I just had taste them to figure out which was which. At most places, they let you know which drink is which, so I was just confused with the service I received, especially when the place wasn't busy. And to top it all off, my order was marked completed 10 minutes after I received my order which again just left me in confusion. I usually love this place and was saddened when they got rid of their Choco Mugwort drink, but I'm always looking forward to their seasonal drinks and baked goods. This time though, I don't think I was even able to taste one of their new seasonal drinks because it tasted like a regular latte with milk. I want to try their other current seasonal drinks, but I'm also worried about what I will receive in the future and I'm not ready for another disappointing coffee any time soon.
