    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.

    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!!!

Huge ups to coffee shops that make their syrups in house with real ingredients and it really shows through in the drinks. He even let me try the syrups - I had the blueberry, biscoff, rosemary and fig syrup. All were so good but I think what was really unique was what my partner got which was the blueberry chai. I ended up getting the rosemary fig latte which was earthy and interesting. The space is huge and there's tables in the front and there's a speakeasy spot in the back for people to hang. It's a real functioning water shop too which is cool. Will be back to try more!

They literally sell water on the side (so quirky, and decent pricing, love it), but the real star is the cafe. The layout is chef's kiss -- super aesthetic decor, cool little pieces everywhere, and don't even get me started on the BIG ORANGE COUCH. Like... it deserves its own Instagram account. Now, the drinks: Me: Dirty Biscoff Chai Latte w/ oat milk + espresso shot 10000/10. I asked for light ice and the barista actually checked with me mid-pour if the amount was okay . Starbucks could NEVER. The flavor harmony was unreal -- espresso, biscoff, chai all blending perfectly without overpowering each other. Sonny: Strawberry Rose Matcha w/ oat milk 8.5/10, perfectly sweet and floral. Rabsang: 8/10 Blueberry Matcha w/ whole milk solid, but he wished he'd gone oat milk instead. Iber: 9/10 Peach Cobbler Matcha w/ oat milk legit tastes like pie in a cup. This place is a whole vibe. Drinks are creative, staff is thoughtful, and the space is aesthetic AF. Highly recommend for the cozy lounge energy and plzzz have some patience while the gentleman running the cafe COOOOOKKKKssss if you want matcha magic .

    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.

Both the Grapefruit Jasmine and Lychee Fragrant Oolong with Aloe fruit teas were stellar - just the right amount of sweetness at 25% (free upgrade to honey!) and perfect harmony between the fruits and teas in every sip. Tie Guan Yin and Fragrant Oolong milk teas have also been top notch though I'd recommend upping the sweetness to 50% as the tea presence is ample. Ordering is a breeze on their touch screens and just be ready for more of grab & go experience as there's minimal seating.

Anyway, I found this spot while running my errands. I ordered the Hokkaido milk tea. With boba. The base price is just the drink. You have to pay extra if you want add ins like boba crème brûlée, pudding, etc. you can customize your nice level, sweetness am I believe milk alternative also. I liked my drink. The place is clean, the service was fairly fast and the employees were ok. They weren't rude, but they weren't overly excited to see us either. I don't know that I would exactly crave this place, but I might come back if I were in the area.
