Location: plaza on the corner of Bloomfield and Carson Parking: big parking lot (free) Seating: lots of seating options! Good for a chit chat or matcha date or solo time Experience: very good. I got the double matcha which was matcha with matcha cold foam. Literally the best I ever had. Even my friend who doesn't care for matcha super enjoyed it. I think it was $7 tho. Not cheap. Overall: dig the aesthetic. So cute. I am willing to bet it's Korean owned too. It's a vibe. I will be coming back. read more

I came here to do some work for a few hours and it was just ok as a work space. There's plenty of space / it wasnt too busy mid-day on Tuesday, and there's outlets available. Wifi was ok, a bit slow but I was able to join a meeting with my camera off. But the tables are all bizarre heights - either way too low or too high to be ergonomically comfortable. Majority of tables are really low so you'd be hunched over, the one large shared high table puts your arms at a weird angle. Drink wise: they have some interesting sounding drinks on the menu. Just got a cold brew einspanner this time and it was pretty good. Barista was nice and brought it out to my table. Prices were ok too, maybe $1 lower than some other places. read more

I really wanted something that wasn't matcha or coffee and Mate Coffee Bar offered exactly what I wanted. I ordered their London Fog Einspanner and it did not disappoint. It had a nice thick cold foam with flavorful tea base. I loved how spacious the interior was and parking was easily found. You can also place the order ahead of time and the cafe is also dog friendly. The people who work there are very welcoming. I would love to try their afternoon tea set you can make a reservation 2 days ahead of time to enjoy in the future. read more

Mate Coffee Bar Tried switching it up from my usual matcha (still undefeated), and went with the Eaton Mess Latte -- espresso with oat milk, strawberry purée, house cream, and a meringue cookie on top. Really solid drink. Leans on the sweeter side, but not overpowering -- the espresso still comes through and balances everything out. The strawberry adds a nice freshness, and the cream + meringue give it that dessert-like finish without feeling too heavy. The space was pretty full when I stopped by, mostly people working on laptops or catching up with friends. Good mix of energy without being too loud -- definitely a spot you can post up at for a bit. Staff is always welcoming, very helpful, and friendly -- which honestly makes a big difference. Service was smooth and quick, even with the crowd. Would I get it again? YES-- especially if you're in the mood for something a little more fun than a standard latte. Still coming back for the matcha though! read more

*Note: TDLR at the end of the review Eaton Mess Latte: 10/10 Super yummy! Espresso itself tasted great with the strawberry puree. Strawberry was very apparent. Drink is slightly on the sweeter side. Drink to ice ratio is great! Would happily order this again. Service: 8/10 Cashier seems a tad timid but was very nice and had a smile on her face! Ambiance: 10/10 Located in a pretty empty parking lot. Music was at a good volume, clean restroom, ample amount of seating, big tables available, outlets, wifi is good. A great place to study or catch up. TDLR: Come here! Super easy parking, great drinks, super reasonable pricing, outlets, clean restroom. Great study spot, small and large tables available, but not a crazy amount. read more

Stopped by Mate Coffee Bar and tried their signature Mate Latte. It leaned a tad sweeter than what I usually go for, but still really enjoyable overall. The flavors were smooth and well-balanced, just a little on the indulgent side. Definitely worth a try if you like your coffee with a hint of sweetness. read more

This place is so cute and has the best vibes. We thought the space was very well decorated and is spacious to grab a drink, hangout, or study. We tried two matcha drinks and they both were sweetened perfectly. I thought that the banana was very fresh and added a nice flavor to the matcha. We do wish the drinks had a little more matcha to give it a stronger flavor, but it was still very solid. The workers are very nice and make the drinks very quick. ig : @cravingswithcat read more

I found this place by merely casually when I was heading to a store. I came to have my coffee and ordered the honey coffee latte, there's not much variety as I wish they have. I like the flavor , but I would preferred more hot. The everything croissant was good had cream cheese inside already but I didn't know. As a recommendation always ask if it has something inside , you might be lactose intolerant. Also chairs are small , something different but is cool. They also have tea parties you can check the picture for more info. I thought it was nice since you don't see places holding tea parties often. Service is good they are very attentive and kind. There's also a lot of parking, bathrooms are very clean. read more

I would and plan on coming back for the London Fog Einspanner! Whoa, first time have a LFE and it changed my LIFE! The London Fog flavor was not overshadowed at all. It was super tasty, a tad sweet, even though I ordered it 50% sweetness. Service was nice. The ham and cheese croissant was solid, I feel like a few coffee places in this area and Artesia all get it from the same supplier. Wish it had more ham and cheese inside. It was mainly a croissant. The vibes were chill. Plenty of seating. I am happy HG got a coffee place like this! Go try the LFE! read more

Found this gem thanks to my bank teller! Mate Coffee is run by a husband and wife team inspired by British culture. Their menu is unique, with drinks like the Wembleton, Eaton Less, and London Fog. The vibe is minimalist-chic and cozy, perfect for solo study or a buddy session. Pheobe, the barista, was amazing: warm, friendly, and made the experience feel personal. Latte art? On point. Matcha? Solid. Coffee gave me just the right boost on a rainy day. The space is clean, even the bathrooms, which tells you the owners really care. I will definitely be back! read more

I am in love with Mate Coffee Bar!! Please come try this family owned shop out. This coffee bar is what happens when a person takes their appreciate for music, American culture, and coffee and pours it into this place. The decor, the music and the amazing staff brings me home and feels like I am walking into their kitchen to be served drinks. The coffee is pleasant, it's not a harsh Vietnamese coffee nor is it a sugar filled Starbucks. It's a thoughtful grind and a baristas creativity. Each sip is smooth and full of delightful flavors. Even if you don't like coffee, you can stop by and feel the vibes. read more

Mate Coffee Bar - My dog approved - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hawaiian Gardens, California

#185 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. One of the latest coffeeshops to join the local scene, Mate Coffee Bar has an incredibly spacious interior with ample seating, warm and welcoming atmosphere, the friendliest service, and bonus points - they're dog friendly! I also love the inspiration behind the shop name, which references the British term for friend and reflects the connection the husband and wife team hope to share with everyone who visits. The Drinks: 1. Wimbledon Melon Latte - melon milk with espresso. Not for me, but only because I now realize I REALLY don't like the taste of melon. I always knew I disliked the taste of cantaloupe but I never put two and two together that melon includes fruits like cantaloupe, and that melon milk would taste like a liquid version of cantaloupe. That was completely my fault, and my aversion to the drink is entirely due to my own preferences. 2. Mate Latte - toffee with a cream top. I love toffee lattes but I wasn't a fan of this one because the flavor tasted overly artificial. I wasn't a fan of the drinks I tried but I added an extra star because dog friendly places and staff deserve extra bonus points in my book. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

Brand new coffee shop. Huge space for hanging and out and studying. The coffee beans are from Stereoscope and the pastries are likely from Nonna Mercato. Service is nice and friendly. Their signature coffee is the Mate Coffee, it's a toffee cream top latte with crushed Biscoff cookies. Thoughts: I want to love it but I don't. It's just okay. The bitterness from the toffee syrup and the shots of espresso doesn't give me the coffee latte flavor I love like at other coffee shops. It doesn't taste smooth. It's sharp bitterness that can't be covered. FYI, this coffee shop just opened like yesterday so, I'll give it some time for this coffee shop to perfect their cream top lattes. So I would say, hold off. Mate Coffee Bar, you need to recalibrate your pull shot because it taking too long. The people who love lattes won't come back. It's too bitter and taste burnt. read more

This coffee shop just recently opened in the plaza where BBQ Night is located. There's plenty of parking so that's a plus!! When we walked in, it looks spacious and there's several tables and seatings. Some of the tables looked small but it was cute! There's a few high chairs along the wall/window. We ordered the below drinks and both were really good. And for the price?? Definitely worth it!! It was about $6-7 per drink, which is reasonable. Mate latte 8.5/10 Double matcha 9/10 Overall, must visit! I will be back soon! read more

Such a cute and charming place! The girl working the counter was so attentive and gave great recommendations. We got the double matcha latte, the banana matcha latte, and a couple of pastries. The pastries were AMAZING, i've never had an almond croissant taste so good. The matcha actually had the most decent amount of caffeine, I've only been able to replicate this caffeine when i make my own at home. This would be the perfect place to catch up with a friend over coffee or even do a little work. The service alone is worth the 5 stars but the drinks and food make it a solid choice. read more

Mate Coffee Bar - double matcha latte and banana pudding matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hawaiian Gardens, California

Mate Coffee Bar is one of my favorite cafés around the area! I always go for either their matcha or their mate latte, depending on my mood! Both are REALLY REALLYYYY GOOD! Their mate latte especially is something other cafés do not have. When my friend from LA visited me, I took her here and made her try mate latte (she's been craving it since LOL). Food: 100/10 - their pastries are BOMB!! I'm glad Mate is so close to me and I can just grab pastries from them whenever I feel like it Service: their service is top-tier! everyone's very welcoming and one of their baristas know his coffee a lot which is so nice to to know that he's very knowledgeable at what he's making and selling (you don't see this a lot from "baristas" nowadays). also, they serve the drinks to your table :) ++ you can also tell them you're not having it for to-go and they will serve it in a glass (yes aesthetic ) Ambiance: it's korean-owned so you already know it's going to be aesthetically-pleasing. the vibes are always great, it feels very chill inside and the music they play is also so nice so even when i need to focus on something, i can, even when there's music playing in the bg. OVERALL: 1000/10 would recommend this place! always love visiting mate :) owners are always so lovely too! honestly this place deserves more love read more

PSA because a new café just opened up in LA County and it's too good not to share Mate Coffee in Hawaiian Gardens is officially my new spot. The inside is super spacious but still cozy, with plenty of seating, WiFi, and free parking (a win already). I tried the hojicha latte with the hojicha cream top AND the Wimbledon melon latte -- both were so good and crafted with so much care. The flavors are unique but balanced, and they paired perfectly with the pastries. You can really tell they put intention into everything they serve. They also offer afternoon tea sets with snacks and teas, which is such a cute touch if you're trying to chill, study, or catch up with a friend. And if you're reading this in time, save the date because tomorrow (Friday, Dec 5) is their grand opening with BOGO specials all day Hawaiian Gardens finally has a café worth gatekeeping... but I won't. Definitely check them out! read more

Nice clean and chill coffee shop in a Hawaiian gardens strip mall that I discovered after getting my haircut. I think they just opened last week and wanted to try it out. Staff was super friendly and helpful with ordering which I ended up trying their Mate Latte (a biscoff style latte) and got it half sweetened along with a ham and cheese croissant. I ordered the hojicha latte half sweetened for my wife. Cafe vibe and seating - 5/5 Staff friendliness - 5/5 Hojicha latte - 5/5 - half sweetened Mate latte - 5/5 - half sweetened Ham and cheese croissant - 5/5 - warmed eaten at the cafe parking availability - 5/5 Location Hawaiian Gardens Strip mall - 4.5/5 Overall 5/5 experience.

Soft opening in a plaza that has not really seen a coffee bar for eons. Quite friendly staff. Not busy for a Saturday morning, so I did not have a long wait. I truly enjoy freshly brewed coffees, without any of the syrups or fancy foams . Got two flat whites, one with whole milk and another with oat milk (up-charged $1 for the substitute). Ended up mistakenly drinking from the non dairy , and I did like it - no sugar or other sweetener needed! Whole Beans for sale by the 10 ounce bag, sourced Kenyan coffee. Pastries available: I got a chocolate chip cookie and a morning bun (flaky and not overly sweet). Spare decor , multiple tables, brightly lit. All gender restroom. Someone had their corgi with them! Do come by to support this Asian minority and woman owned business! read more

Okay, the coffee here is very good indeed. I tried their Mate Latte in iced form which is the second one I've gotten from them and I highly recommend it. It's a sweet latte with the components used to make it and I enjoyed it to the last drop I could slurp up. My coworker also got the iced Mate latte and the London Fog Einspanner with the Hoji cream. From what he told me it was quite delicious and from reviews it seems to be a popular drink. The location of this coffee shop is one that I'm not too sure about. Nothing dangerous or anything like that, I just think it might not be the best spot to get incoming traffic unless you know about them (or find them on Yelp ). Once you find them the interior is very nice. Has a cool, low key set up and it felt very comfortable to me. I can't say enough about the staff. They are very friendly, knowledgeable and will to help with questions. Plus, plus all around. I'll be back to try some more drinks and I hope they get lots of traffic to keep going we'll cry years to come. Sorry, I didn't take a photo of my drinks... I was too anxious to drink them Next time I'll try to get a photo. read more

Agree with fellow yelpers.... nice place to hang out or get some work done. Drinks (honey oat latte, milk earl grey tea) were hot and ratios on point. Next time may ask for some honey in my earl grey.. just saying. Prices reasonable and staff very accommodating. Trying sweets next time! read more

Stopped by Mate Coffee Bar recently and it instantly became one of those places I'm excited to come back to. The space is clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. It has that calm cafe atmosphere where you can actually slow down and enjoy your drink instead of rushing out the door. The highlight for me was the Toffee Nut Latte. It was rich, sweet, and incredibly satisfying, almost like having dessert in a cup. The toffee flavor was bold but still balanced, and every sip felt smooth and indulgent. Overall, such a charming spot with a great vibe. Plenty of parking. Definitely a place I'll be returning to whenever I'm in the area. read more

Came here when the place opened. Such a chill vibe. The service was great. He was very honest because I asked if the double matcha was sweet and he recommended the ceremonial Matcha latte since it's not sweetened. The London Fog Einspanner has great Hoji Cream and it reminded me of a chai latte. I will definitely come here again. So glad a nice cafe opened near me. read more

I'm pretty particular about my coffee, so I gave this place two visits hoping for consistency, unfortunately, both times left me a bit disappointed. My go to way of testing any coffee shop is simple: I order an Americano and a latte. No frills, no fancy syrups. If a place can nail the basics, I trust everything else on the menu will follow. Here, both fell short. The Americano lacked boldness and depth, coming across flat and one-dimensional, missing that rich, satisfying character you'd expect. The latte had a balance issue too, with the milk overpowering the espresso rather than the two working together harmoniously. The coffee flavor just got lost in it. These are the most fundamental drinks on any menu, so when they're off, it's hard to feel confident about the rest of the offerings. That said, the issues feel more like consistency and calibration problems than anything unfixable. The place has a good vibe and I genuinely hope they tighten things up. I'd love to have a reason to come back and update this review. read more

I'm obsessed with the London Fog Einspanner! This cafe has such a cute and spacious interior. There's lots of seating, and during my visits I see a lot of people working/studying or elderly people just hanging out (which is a good sign!) Service is always friendly and the drinks come out quick. You can order drinks for here (in a glass) or to go in a plastic cup. I especially love that they hand whisk each matcha or hojicha drink, but my favorite of all time is the London Fog Einspanner, which is earl grey tea, milk, and hojicha cream top. As a lover of both earl grey and hojicha, it's the perfect combo and such a unique drink that you can find anywhere else. I wish the best for this cafe and I think everyone should give it a try! read more

Hey Mate! Come get your coffee here at Mate Coffee and bring your mate or find a mate, or just be your own mate and enjoy a hot or iced cup of coffee! I ordered the iced Mate Coffee with whole milk when I came here for the first time on Wednesday, 12/17/2025, and indulged in the biscoff crumb topping. It tasted as if you were to drop a Werther's original candy into some milk and coffee, then swirled it a bit for that sweet caramel type flavor. My husband had the iced coffee that had a melon milk similar to honeydew milk tea and was very original in flavor, which I complimented the baristas for having a coffee item like no other compared to the other local coffee places. Worth the try to come back again, mate! read more

I was looking for a new coffee shop to check around and had to stop by Mate Coffee Bar. The London Fog Einspanner caught my eye because it has earl grey and a hojicha cream top! I'm a sucker for anything floral and hojicha is one of my favorite tea flavors so I was really excited to try it. I don't usually go for cream tops in my latte but the London Fog Einspanner delivered! The earl grey isn't overpowering and you can really taste the richness of hojicha in the cream top. I would definitely get this drink again. The staff is very friendly and even brought my drink to me while I was waiting. The inside is incredibly spacious with lots of seating, and it was easy to find parking because of the large parking lot. I'm looking forward to grabbing a drink and studying here the next time around. read more
