I'm so sad to learn that after five years Mellow Tea Studio is closing! I first discovered Mellow Tea Studio during a Yelp Elite Experience back in 2024 and since then I've gone back a few times to this boba shop for some more tasty drinks and for their Monday specials. I love their pumpkin spice drinks. Their pumpkin Oreo Spice Milk Tea is so good! I also like their Taro Milk Tea. The shop is super cute too! I love the floral swing and the different cats drawn on the wall. June 9 is their last day. I will definitely miss this cute spot and their yummy drinks. read more

Checked this place out one Saturday afternoon. A decent spot for your boba craving in the Redondo Beach Riviera area. Overall, I thought they could have tasted better. It wasn't bad though. It's close to a 4. But the service was nice and friendly and a fair amount of seating. Decor was a little hodge podge. Parking is conveniently in a parking garage. read more

Mellow Tea Studio is a locally -owned and -operated bubble tea spot in the Redondo Beach area. They have an extensive drink menu, offering fresh milk, milk teas, fruit teas, cheesefoam teas, and yogurt. We decided to stop by to check out their drinks while in the area, and we ordered: +the Golden Pineapple - jasmine with golden pineapple +First Love - jasmine with strawberries and lime +and, the Cantaloupe Feast - blended cantaloupe All the drinks well lovingly made and were pretty refreshing! One of the owners, Joey, was just so friendly and welcoming - he has such a great sense of humor and such an amazing human being! The space is bright, clean, and cheery, with a nice handful of seats - perfect spot to play catchup or do some work. There is an adjacent garage offers free parking for the business!

I was first introduced to fresh taro pure milk tea at this place. It's my go-to. The people work there were so sweet. This was my regular stop after work out, church and beach. So very sad I won't have that routine anymore. You'll be missed! read more

So sad mellow tea is closing. I loved this place and it was nice to study. I loved the oreo boba milk tea with custard

Craving some milk tea, we stopped by Mellow Tea Studio to try their Green Thai Milk Tea. The staff member was friendly and prepared my drink promptly. The interior was simple and clean, with a cute wall filled with cat artwork that added a nice touch. While I enjoyed everything up to that point, I was unfortunately disappointed once I tasted the milk tea. It ended up tasting very watered down, almost like diluted milk, and lacked the bold tea flavor I was expecting. In hindsight, I probably should have asked for a remake or requested it to be stronger, by the time I took a sip we were already on our way to our next stop. If I do come back, I would try something else and hope for a better and stronger drink experience next time. read more

Mellow Tea Studio - Green Thai Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

My friend recommended this place, and it has become my must-visit café whenever I go to Redondo Beach. Since it's summer, I've been going there a lot. The interior is super cute with cat-themed decor everywhere and a swing where you can take fun pictures. And the drinks are amazing. Truly, the drinks are the highlight. Iris is my favorite person there. She really knows the menu and can recommend something even if you only have a vague idea of what you want. You know those moments when you're standing there not sure what to order and just say, "I don't know"? Iris is like a drink psychologist. She'll ask questions like whether you're in the mood for a smoothie or a fruit tea and guide you from there. My favorite drink is the strawberry blend with cheese foam, 25 percent sweetness, and a tea base. It tastes real, not artificial, and the balance of flavors is just perfect. read more

My friend and I had a great time here today. Mid-day on a Saturday it's popular but the calm vibe remained as people came and went. I loved my Thai tea taro drink with boba! I got 75% sweet which helped it not be overwhelmingly sweet, and the boba pearls aren't very sweet either imo. I look forward to coming back! read more

Mellow Tea Studio - Bubble Tea Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

This used to be my absolute favorite milk tea place. Boba was always soft and fresh, and mellow milk tea was so creamy, flavorful, and simply delicious. However, at this point, Ive given them more than 3 chances across the span of 6, 7 months to get a drink and it has been utterly disappointing. Across different drinks, none of them taste like they used to be anymore. It is very sad because I live out of town but i love this place so much i always make sure to stop by, and its flavor definitely is not there anymore. 2 stars for the excellent service but unfortunately the drinks are a big no for me. read more

The Service: Love the customer service! Sara was taking our order & preparing our drinks. She definitely knows how to multitasking. Super efficient! The Store: I bet the owner loves cats, the decorations & art work on the walls are so adorable. So many photos zone spots! Lots of seating inside the store. Great place to hangout. The Drinks: Their drinks are colorful. The flavors are creative. I like fruity flavors. My favorites are Strawberry Cheese foam & Mango Coconut. So refreshing! Not overly sweet. If you have sweet tooth, try the Oreo Boba Fresh Milk. It's totally a dessert drink. The Parking: Parking structure close by (1800 S. Pacific Coast Hwy). Free retail parking! read more

Came here after fellowship as it's the only tea place that was still open at this hour and a brother was craving for hot tea so here we are, late Friday night. I'm really happy to learn that there's free parking inside the building as for the longest time I thought it was for residents only for some reason. Now that I'm aware of this, I'll be visiting this plaza more frequent!!! The shop itself is nice and cute. They have very limited hot drinks so that was a bit disappointed. He got the hot Thai milk tea and i was unable to find anything hot that I would enjoy so decided to try the mango milk tea. Because my friend decided to order the drink 25% sugar, it prompted me to order mine 50% (big mistake). He enjoyed his drink but mine was definitely lacking. I would recommend ordering the mango milk tea normal sugar level. Next time! I like how the drink came with actual bits of mango, that's refreshing. I heard from the girl working there that taro milk tea is the same way. I'm definitely coming back to try that. I also love the fact that they have many snacks available but wish their selections were more catered to their drinks. There were nothing that matched the drinks which was quit disappointing. Overall: loved the service and the chill ambient. It was pretty empty by the time we got there but it's almost closing time and it was appreciated. I live close by so I'll be back soon to try more drinks and maybe suggest some snacks that would match your drinks :) read more

Haven't been down PCH in a while so decided to take a stroll around. Parking: There's a free parking structure at 1800 S PCH. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with a decent amount of indoor seating and very limited outdoor seating. I love the kitty art on the walls and furniture! Sooo cute! Perfect spot for a boba date or simply hangout with friends & family. I visited around 16:00, and they were consistently busy. Service: There were only two workers. Shout out to them for holding it down. It was busy, but they were quick & efficient. Drinks & dessert: 1) See-side (green Thai milk tea) - This is one of their newer drinks. The color looked great, though I thought the flavor was very light. Maybe steep the tea a bit longer? 2) Thai Milk Tea w/ Taro - This is one of the employee's favorites. It looked aesthetically fun and tasted even better! The Thai tea and taro mixed well together. 3) Vietnamese iced coffee - This is 2/2 newer drinks. As someone who grew up drinking Vietnamese coffee, this was okay. It's not strong or bold like a viet coffee should be. It wasn't sweet either .. I mainly tasted milk. 4) Mango Lime Tea w/ boba - Now this was refreshing! All the flavors came through! The boba tasted as expected and not too chewy. 5) Creme Brûlée & Strawberries bubble waffle - Perfect to satisfy a sweet craving! The creme brûlée drizzle was sooo delicious! Pricing: Prices are reasonable. I love the ambiance here. The bubble waffles were delicious. Some drinks can use an adjustment, but I'd come back to try their other drinks. read more

Cute little tea shop in Redondo Beach. A bit of a drive for me so I would only come out if I am in the area. All their drinks are made with fresh ingredients and milk. I like how you can taste that it is not processed. My fave is their hong kong waffles. Its crispy and warm. The Nutella one with strawberry is a little thicker than i like with the Nutella but still good. My fave drink is their first love mixed fruit tea and their version of Vietnamese ice coffee. Inside has a swing bench and decorated like a cat cafe. Nice study and work spot, read more

From the moment you walk into this tea spot, you're welcomed to a charming decor of cats. It's a very inviting atmosphere that puts you in a pleasant mood. We had two drinks, which were both delicious. The Mango Coconut milk tea w/ sago was tasty. The mango flavor paired well with the coconut and sago added a zest and texture to the drink. We also had the Real Love, which was essentially a strawberry and peach tea. You can't go wrong with these almost universally beloved flavors, so it's no surprise that it was also pretty good. Although I'm not in Torrance too often, you can bet that this spot would a good choice when in the area read more

The café is beautifully located in the heart of Redondo Beach. Even so, parking is not an issue because they have a large, free parking lot. They offer a great selection of drinks - I especially loved the egg waffle and mango pomelo sago (a favorite among Hong Kongers). I originally thought the café was only for young people, but even older customers come here, and my little toddler loves it too. The entire shop is Instagram-worthy and very beautiful. read more

The milk tea is super underrated. Got the milk tea at 25% sugar level and it was bitter. It was actually perfect. The Thai ice tea was also good. Only regret was not getting the large size.

Mellow Tea Studio - Mango Feast, Milk Tea Blended, and Strawberry Feast - Bubble Tea Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I honestly don't expect much from a cafe that's too cutesie, because I always assume it's just cute for the gram. I've had way too many drinks that were cute or looked ultra aesthetic but tasted like TRASH. So, my expectations were not very high. BUT after giving up dessert for Lent, I really wanted a simple boba milk tea with real ingredients. A younger sister from my church recommended Mellow, so we drove nearly half an hour to try this joint and HOLY MOLY, it did not miss. This was hands down the BEST milk tea I've yet to have! Now, I didn't love the cleaning product smell in the cafe. Esp because I'm pregnant, that smell makes me want to gag and I cannot stand it. BUT I was able to sit down and tolerate it and enjoy my drink because it was THAT good. I have NEVER had a milk tea boba that was THAT creamy and just...PERFECT???? Also, I love cats and have 2 of my own at home, so the cute cat art all over the walls were a plus. I will definitely be back. I am still dreaming of Mellow's milk tea. read more

We enjoyed 3 drinks, all good - Thai tea with boba (50% sweet) - Taro milk tea with boba (50% sweet) - Mango Feast (blended smoothie) with boba (50% sweet) Super that we can personalize the level of sweetness. This makes it easy to modulate just how much sugar I and my kids take in. Same with caffeine - lots of ways to use milk instead of milk tea. Makes drinking in the afternoon or night feasible for light sleepers like me :) Nice family run boba shop with the cute decor. Our favorites were: - what I like to call: The Meowna Lisa - The Ginger with a Pearl Earring - swing bench inside to relax The owner participates in the local run club (Runnershiii on Insta) and hosts sometimes with great post run discounts. Nice way to get a jog in with nice friendly people. All levels and ages welcome. My kids, fit runner husband and slow waddle me all had a good time. read more

I was very disappointed with the mango coconut drink. The mango tasted extremely sweet and artificial, more like a purée than fresh-cut mango. It didn't taste fresh at all, and the overall drink barely had any real mango flavor. For an $8 drink, this was really disappointing. On top of that, during the weekend there was only one staff member making more than 10 drinks at the same time. Paying $18/hour while expecting one person to handle that volume seems unrealistic and affects both drink quality and service. Overall, the management and staffing felt poorly handled. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there was one other party here. Ordered the jasmine milk tea and it was really BAD. I got it with 100% sugar and oatmilk and it had a weird chemically after taste. Asked if there was anyway I can change it out and they said they'd have to charge me for another drink. .. without even acknowledging why. err, then that just means no. Would never return. Terrible drinks, terrible service. read more

Mellow Tea Studio is a cute cafe with delicious drinks made with real fruits and flavors. There's free parking and plenty of seating. My favorite thing was interacting with the staff and seeing how there's a group run/walk community event. The people working were so friendly and shared with me how the owners are a group of siblings who run the tea Studio together. But the highlight was truly the drinks. I loved the Taro Milk Tea - it was the best I've ever had because it's flavored with real taro with the perfect balance of sweetness. My friend also enjoyed the first love (strawberry and lime) fruit tea and an egg waffle. Everything was so delicious and they have free wifi!! I would highly recommend coming here for a snack or for a cute cafe to work at!! read more

(4.5 Stars) This is my second visit to Mellow Tea, which was better than the last. Upon entering, there were lots of tables available in different sizes along with a very spacious area for waiting relaxing with your drink/food. The inside of the restaurant is The service was great. Both employees at the front counter were extremely nice and were very helpful in the ordering process. For my drink, I ordered the Mellow Milk Tea with boba. It was good. The milk tea itself was lacking a little flavor, seeming as though it was bitter although I had ordered my drink with 100% sugar, but it was nothing bad enough to lower my review significantly. The boba was great. It was cooked good, not too soft or too chewy. The bonus for Mellow Tea is their prices. A large was $5.55, if I recall correctly, which is very cheap compared to other boba shops nearby, saving $1-2 dollars by going to Mellow Tea instead. They also offer snacks and food such as waffles and ramen if requested. Good Boba shop if near the area. read more
