    Crepe
    Randy A.

    The server suggested the most popular dishes, though I went for my staple chilaquiles breakfast that I try everywhere. I really enjoyed them. The complimentary conchita was a plus. Paired well with the horchata coffee. Would return for sure.

    Kids are back in school so me and the wifey are having breakfast. I like the loaded steak eggs. Can't go wrong with that

    This morning, my wife and I visited this restaurant for the first time. I'm glad we did. We had a very good breakfast to start off the day. I ordered the basic combo which comes with eggs, hashbrowns, your choice of 2 pieces of bacon/sausage, and buttermilk pancakes. I got scrambled eggs, one sausage, and one piece of bacon with the hashbrowns and buttermilk pancakes. My wife ordered the same combo except with two pieces of bacon, eggs cooked over easy, and crepes. Before our orders came out, we got a plate with a couple of mini conchas on it. The conchas were a tasty and sweet surprise. The orders came out pretty fast. The scrambled eggs were warm and fluffy. The hashbrowns were nice and crispy. The entire meal was satisfying. My wife did notice that her crepes were a little undercooked, but overall, she enjoyed her meal as well. I think the service here was solid, not phenomenal. Even though, we were the only customers dining in the restaurant, we weren't really checked upon until we were ready for the check. That's not to say that the staff were just standing around doing nothing. There were a handful of people coming in for takeout and delivery orders. They helped with that. Additionally, a couple of the restaurant employees were diligently cleaning the ceiling of the restaurant. They keep this place very tidy and clean, which I can appreciate. I'm not sure why this place isn't more popular. Their dishes are reasonably priced and of high quality. I would recommend this place. I think it's better than a lot of the larger and well known chain restaurants who serve breakfast.

    I was in town with my mom for a concert. We wanted to go to Norms for breakfast the day after the show but their power was out. We stumbled upon this place and we are so happy we did! We came in with a little rush of others so we had to wait maybe 10-15 minutes before we were sat. It looked like there were only 2 waitress working and no bussers. They were both very nice considering how busy it got. My mom and I split some scrambled eggs and hash browns and bacon. I also ordered the French toast and my mom had some sort of crepes. Coffee was good too! I would definitely recommend checking this place out! We also loved the panecitos we got while waiting for our food :)

    Such a delicious diner! Definitely a hidden gem in the rough. It was a Monday morning and I had a vet appointment in the area. It was 8:30am and hadn't eaten yet needed to wait so why not go to a local diner. Loaded was at the top of my Yelp app and it filled me perfectly. Easy, strip mall parking and as a weekday, it was a breeze getting a booth by myself. The one waitress serving the customers was very sweet and felt comfortable right away. The diner itself is newish, clean and modern. Menu-wise, there's a Latino flair which makes it all delish! I like there's the Crepe Combo which is really good! The plain crepes have a soft sweetness and I opted for sausage and poached eggs. It came with a side of concha which seemed to have a dash of cinnamon and I wolfed it down! To drink, I had a horchata latte and that's really sweet! A great meal - I'd definitely go back if I'm In the area. Thanks!

    Love love LOVE. Loaded Cafe and anytime I come I'm looking for Norma to be my server. She is kind and attentive and will keep you feeling looked after. I have a really specific taste for chilaquiles this is where I will go. Family vibes on the inside definitely a family friendly rest

    Nice lady seated us right away. Very cheerful in the morning. Empty restaurant but everything clean including the restroom, we got there at opening. My pancake never last very long. Was so good. It looked nicer than my picture because I wanted to try it so bad. I didn't take a picture of my friend's breakfast because I was so hungry. He said it was very good. Breakfast burrito.

    I had high expectations before getting here. The Warm panecitos and the Orchata latte were the best. I was personally disappointed on the food. CANNOT say it was bad, but it was definitely none-eventful. The chilaquiles had yellow cheese and that was the nail in the coffin for me. I was looking for authentic yummy Mexican food. The enchiladas had yellow cheese! As well.... The service was great. She was very informative and amicable. The ambiance was good (not too loud) and it had a relaxed family atmosphere. I will more than likely not be back.

    It's just the empty table because the food was so great I forgot to take a photo before.

    April my server was amazing. The food was also amazing. I got the basic combo with a horchata as my drink. It was delicious , the eggs were sunny side up with bacon and sliced up potatoes. And to top it off fluffy buttered up pancakes. The Whole meal was amazing. I will be coming back with my family next time. Highly recommend this location.

I think the tea flavor could have been stronger, but the texture of the boba was good. I did think it was a bit odd that my iced drink was served in a paper cup while my friend got the usual plastic cup. The croissant was delicious. It had a nice guava filling, but the cream cheese was thinner, more like a condensed milk consistency. Still very good, just different from what I was expecting. My friend got the iced cheese coffee with biscoff, which was pretty strong and tasty. The restroom was not terrible, but could have been cleaner.

This place is a total gem, and if you haven't been yet, you are seriously missing out! Let me tell you about the star of my visit, the Matcha Cream Filled Croissant. Oh. My. Goodness. This thing is on another level. The croissant itself is buttery, perfectly golden, and incredibly flaky -- with just the right amount of crisp on the outside. But the matcha cream filling? Silky smooth, lusciously rich, with a beautiful earthy matcha flavor that isn't overpowering or too sweet. It's the kind of bite that makes you stop mid-chew just to appreciate how good it is. I honestly could eat three of these in a sitting. The Korean-American fusion approach to their baked goods is inspired and completely unique, you won't find anything like it anywhere else in the South Bay or in Gardena. Seriously Impressive, I paired my croissant with their Iced Matcha Latte, made with premium grade matcha sourced from Jeju Island, and WOW, this drink is stunning. It's vibrant, beautifully layered, and tastes as amazing as it looks. The matcha is bold and authentic without being bitter, perfectly balanced with creamy, cold milk. Not too sweet, not too earthy -- just absolutely perfect. It's easily one of the best iced matcha drinks I've had in a while. You can customize your milk choice too, which is a great thoughtful touch. This place is warm & welcoming: The staff here is attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and made to feel at home. The baristas are well-trained and knowledgeable, they took their time explaining the menu and made sure my order was exactly right. No rushing, no attitude, just genuine hospitality that keeps you coming back. Decor is absolutely Charming. The interior of Smoking Tiger is adorable and so well thought out. It's modern, clean, and stylish with a cozy Korean café aesthetic that feels fresh without trying too hard. The lighting is warm and inviting, the seating is comfortable, and the whole vibe just makes you want to stay for hours. There's both indoor and outdoor seating available, which is a great bonus. Whether you're catching up with a friend, working on your laptop, or just treating yourself to something special, this place sets the perfect mood. One thing that really stood out to me was how immaculately clean this café is. The tables, counters, floors, and display cases were all sparkling, it's clear that the team takes real pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for every guest. A clean café is a happy café, and this one passes with flying colors. Bottom Line, Smoking Tiger Coffee & Bread is the real deal. Creative, high-quality food, exceptional drinks, warm service, gorgeous decor, and a spotless space, this place checks every single box. The Matcha Cream Filled Croissant and Iced Matcha Latte alone are worth the trip. Do yourself a favor and go try yourself. Miguel C.

Since my first visit, there's been many competitors opening around Gardena, but I find myself drawn back to this place because of the balance of spaciousness (there's actually places to sit whenever I go!), quality of products (the espresso shot is pretty strong and they have many beans to choose from), and best of all, price of their drinks (specifically the specialties). While I wouldn't say the prices are a bargain, it feels more reasonable than other local competitors. One thing I do miss is that 2 years ago, the pastries weren't individually wrapped. We used to have the option of selecting pastries with tongs, the typical experience you'd get when going to a bakery in Japan. Hopefully they would bring that experience back again! Until then, I'll keep returning for their quality drinks!

I continued to yell back at them, explaining that there were absolutely no hash browns in my omelette and I want a refund for the hash browns immediately. Finally, after making me yell and argue with them for probably 3 minutes in front of the whole restaurant, she finally agreed to refund the $3. Horrible service, and dishonest. They tried everything they could to not give me a refund when there was no hash browns and I paid for them. Worst service ever.
