Came here with my hubby to get our caffeine fix lol. There's plenty of parking in the complex. The aesthetic inside is really nice, clean, sunny, and with a few spots to sit and enjoy your drink or get some work done. They have a good variety of drinks, plus a few seasonal options as well. I got the Earl Grey matcha latte, and my husband went with the banana cream matcha latte. Both drinks came out pretty quickly! And they were SO good. I love Earl Grey in my matcha, and Otto Tea Shoppe nailed the flavor. The matcha was earthy and a great green color. My husband really enjoyed his banana matcha (and so did I... wife tax hehe). The banana flavor was super enjoyable and clearly not artificial. I'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks! read more

The matcha was disappointing. For something presented as ceremonial grade, the drink had none of the care that should come with that word. It was not whisked properly, the texture was off and the flavor was flat in that unmistakable way bad matcha announces itself immediately. Matcha is simple, but it is not casual. When it's done well, you can taste the attention. When it's done poorly, there's nowhere to hide. This tasted rushed, underworked and overpriced. Service didn't help. The whole experience felt indifferent. There are too many places taking matcha seriously now to settle for a cup that feels like someone bought the right language but skipped the discipline. read more

The Earl Grey Matcha was SO GOOD. I was pleasantly shocked by how strong the earl grey flavor came out. The matcha itself had a rich green color and deeply earthy taste. A combo truly well done. Service was also pretty fast. The shop itself is cute and simple with limited seating. Luckily, there's plenty of parking available, so it's a great spot for a quick grab-and-go! Safe to say, I'll be back soon to try more of their menu :) read more

My go to spot in redondo beach! Their matcha is incredible and so high quality, lots of flavors to choose from and you seriously can't go wrong with any of them. My personal favorite is the earl grey. Other than matcha their fruit teas are also so refreshing and tasty, i definitely want to try their boba drinks next. The staff is so sweet and service is fast. The shop itself is cute but I will say there is limited seating but tables are available outside. Overall this shop is a 10/10!! read more

Otto Tea Shoppe - Orange passion fruit tea, Earl Grey Matcha, Island Matcha, Matcha Einspanner - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Pretty drinks and ambience, pretty taste, for a pretty penny. - The seasonal white peach oolong was lovely, and I appreciated the staff rec of popping barley boba; 50% sweet was perfect. This reminded me of a similarly tasty mochi barley drink at 3cattea, both of which are extra fun to drink/eat. - The avocado mango drink was delicious without being overly avocado-y, which I appreciated. Beware: it felt high in dairy. - not sure how the gifted blueberry matcha latte turned out, but it was beautiful Parking was busy on a Sat mid morning, so you may have to drive down a second aisle. Service was helpful and prompt, though not exceptionally warm. I would like to come back to try other drinks when I am feeling fancy. On the pricier side (7-8 each) but I think the drinks come in a large size (at least 16-24? ounces). Overall a high-quality experience. Would five 4.5 stars if I could. read more

I drove down to Otto tea shoppe today because I had really been wanting to try their blueberry spirulina matcha latte specifically. the cafe is in a plaza with plenty of parking. when you walk in, you're greeted with a cozy atmosphere and a few spots to sit. I ordered what I came here for obviously lol, and wait time was very short, no more than 3 minutes! staff was friendly and attentive. the drink itself was pretty good, but I wish it had a bit more of the blueberry compote! I also was hoping to get that cute Otto sticker on the cup but unfortunately didn't get one )-: lastly, I would say the music when I came in was superrr loud and kind of depressing. maybe they don't want people spending that much time in there? not sure. eventually it was turned down and more upbeat music was put on but at first it was very hard to relax due to the initial songs and high volume level. read more

I got the island matcha latte and I was met with a delight of flavors. I really liked that matcha can have some tropical for my taste buds.

Great place to stop for drinks! This drink shop is in a plaza with easy parking. Admittedly, I've only had their matcha, but that says a lot as a picky matcha drinker. I never usually try matcha at boba shops, but based on other reviews, I decided to give the earl grey oat matcha a shot on my first visit. I'm so glad I did! There aren't many good matcha options in this area, but I even returned recently to try their Super matcha (matcha latte with matcha foam) which was also delicious. Boba shops matchas tend to be pre-sweetened or of an okay quality, which is fine, but this shop's matcha is earthy, smooth, and is balanced with whatever flavor you add into it! The staff is kind and there is seating (although not a lot) both inside and outside. I'll definitely need to try a boba next time! read more

My coworker ordered from here twice and it's seriously the best matcha and smoothie I have ever had. The strawberry avocado smoothie had strawberry jelly fruit chunks and it just melts in your mouth. The second time we ordered, I tried their strawberry matcha and it did not disappoint! I ordered it half sweet with oat milk, and it was perfect. I can't wait to try the other drinks on the menu! read more

Cute, clean, and surprisingly cozy for such a small spot. I didn't expect indoor seating, but there's just enough space to grab a seat, catch up with friends, or park yourself with a laptop for a bit. What originally pulled me in were their drink photos, whoever is behind those deserves credit because they look fantastic. The menu has a nice variety: smoothies, matcha, fruit teas, and more. I was tempted by the matcha but ended up going with the lychee jasmine tea. I ordered regular sugar and, for the first time in a while, I actually thought a drink might be too sweet, maybe my sweet tooth is mellowing with age. Still, it was refreshing and delicious, and I loved getting bits of lychee with every sip. The best surprise? Near the end I realized they use whole lychee fruit, not just the usual small pieces. That little discovery genuinely made my day. Service was quick and friendly. I'd happily come back, especially to give that matcha a try. read more

The drinks all taste like straight up water, I've tried 4 of them so far and it's nothing but slightly flavored water and when you ask for less ice they put even more. Not sure what the good reviews are about, maybe cus they look pretty? Waste of $8 for pre made flavored water. read more

This is such a great place for a boba tea they have it all matcha jasmine , best things, brown sugar boba... strawberry so yummy best thing ever lol! Price is 6:75 people who work here are all so kind and helpful , so much to choose from , go soon it's fantastic. read more

The last place I expected to have quality boba and tea was Redondo Beach. I would describe this place as the baby of nook, CHA REDEFINE, and HeyTea. They have an incredible selection, good prices, and the vibes are so nice in there! I saw several guests studying/working. Apparently their standard sweetness is 75%, so if you typically like to order less sweet, get 50% or less. I absolutely adored this cafe and will be back for more. read more

There aren't too many good boba spots in the South Bay, but this one definitely meets standards. Parking is pretty easy as it's in a big lot shared with other businesses. I ordered the Lychee Green Tea with Boba and my friend order the Strawberry Blended with Boba. Both were really good and the flavors were distinct. Definitely one of my new favorite spots for boba in the South Bay! read more

This is an underrated spot in the South Bay! I came here because it was close to Jus POke, but it ended up being one of the better places I have tried in the area. I got the Avocado Mango and the Earl Grey Matcha. Both were stellar choices. The Avocado Mango had great fresh fruit flavors. The Early Grey Matcha had aromatic earl grey and noticeably high quality matcha. I would definitely stop by again to grab a sweet treat. read more

So many options it was hard to pick which drink to get! We tried the Earl Grey Matcha and Banana Cream Matcha. Both had very good matcha flavor. Since it was our first time we tried the recommended 75% sweetness but next time would definitely get 50% or lower. Couldn't taste the early grey - mostly tasted matcha and sugary milk. The banana cream was perfect - wish there was more of it throughout the drink and not just the top! read more

I had a really great strawberry matcha from here several months back! Took a bit longer than I typically wait other places but the drink was worth the wait. Pretty good location for them being right by the high school! I know there have been a couple different places in this little spot over the years, hope to see this one stay! read more

I think I found my new favorite boba shop! The quality of the tapioca is 10/10 and the drinks are amazing! I have gotten their signature milk tea and ichigo milk slush. Black Ceylon Milk Tea - 75% sugar with tapioca balls. 10/10! The perfect amount of tea and milk ratio. Perfectly sweet too. If you like it less sweet, try 50%. Ichigo Milk - I loved the freshness of both the strawberry and milk. You could taste both flavors. I drank mine so fast! Definitely a refreshing summer drink. read more

I really want to show appreciation for the way the owner responded to my original feedback. They were so thoughtful, kind, and receptive. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and about maintaining the quality of their drinks. It meant a lot that they took the time to acknowledge the inconsistency and reassure me that they are reinforcing preparation with their team. That level of accountability and care is exactly why I love supporting small businesses. I will absolutely be back and am excited for my next einspänner. When it is made the way I had it the first time, it is truly one of my favorite matcha drinks. Thank you again for taking my feedback so graciously! read more

The drinks here are always great. They are flavorful, consistent and accurate. So far have tried the : Ceylon Tea Cloud Hojicha Latte Matcha I would recommend all three. The location has limited inside seating and some outside seating. read more

Stopped by Otto Tea Shoppe and tried a couple of their specialty drinks. I ordered the lychee jasmine fruit tea with regular sugar. The lychee flavor came through nicely and paired well with the jasmine tea. It was refreshing and well balanced, though next time I'd probably go with half sugar to adjust it more to my preference. We also had the blueberry spirulina matcha, which was really good. The combination of blueberry, spirulina, and matcha came together smoothly without being overly sweet. It felt balanced and clean, with the matcha still coming through. Overall, a solid tea spot in Redondo Beach if you're looking for something a little different from a standard milk tea. read more

A spot where I can get blueberry matcha is the South Bay, hooray! Blueberry matcha has been my latest obsession, and I was happy to see it on the menu at Otto Tea! There's plenty of parking in the shopping plaza lot. The shop itself is a little small. they have two tables inside and two tables outside where you can sit and enjoy your drink. I enjoyed the blueberry matcha. It has a pretty good blueberry flavor! They use blueberry compote, so there's some little pieces of blueberry at the bottom. They also use blue spirulina for the blue color. I appreciate that they use ceremonial grade matcha! I also tried some of the Thai Tea Einspanner, but I didn't think it tasted much different than a regular Thai Tea. Overall, would go back for the blueberry matcha! read more

Really yummy quality tea! Great parking lot. Quick service. Clean spacious aesthetic. If you remember the boba shop from before, it looks very similar, just the decor is more minimalistic. I ended up getting a roasted oolong and a Jasmine tea latte with alternative milk, super yummy! I initially came in to get matcha. I wanted a banana matcha, or something interesting under the premium matcha line BUT they pretty much all have DAIRY except for the basic matcha drinks you can get at other places. Honestly I was pretty disappointed because the shop seems to do matcha well. I wish there was a was to get the drinks with non dairy versions of the creams. read more

They offer a great selection of drinks, and I really liked that they highlight staff favorites--it made choosing something new easy and fun.

I love their toppings. The barley popping bobas are rarely offered elsewhere. This was the first time I tried them. The brown sugar mochi jelly is not too sweet. This is a good thing. Even for someone who doesn't like match, the matcha foam on the coconut jasmine has a creamy and milky flavor, enhances the originally boring matcha flavor. I will definitely visit this place again. read more

Such a cute spot :) I'm not a huge matcha connoisseur but came here with a friend who is as well as my teen and we all enjoyed our drinks.

My teen said the Mango Snow smoothie was one of the best smoothies they've had in a while. Will definitely be back! read more

My friend wanted to check out this new matcha place so we went on a Thursday night. There was a steady stream of customers but the wait for our drinks wasn't long at all. I was excited to try the strawberry matcha latte (one of my favorite matcha drink combos). They use ceremonial grade matcha but I noticed that the green matcha color varied between mine and other strawberry matcha lattes. Overall, the drink tasted fine but the layer of strawberry was so small that I could barely taste the strawberry. read more

Finally, a good boba spot in the area! I know there are some in Torrance/Gardena, but when the boba craving hits and you need to satisfy the craving fast, Manhattan Beach is far from those areas. Otto Tea Shoppe is a quick 10-ish minutes down PCH and is probably my favorite boba spot of anywhere atm. My go-to is a matcha latte with boba, quarter sweet with oat milk. When I have one of these guys, I am instantly in a good mood! Love that you can order ahead for quick pick-up. 1000% recommend. read more

The place has a few chairs for seating, but its a little small. Not much of a place to socialize and sit down. It's a small tea shop tucked away in a shopping plaza, so it's a little hard to find. The drinks are the star of the show. I ordered a Passionfruit Mango with Cloud topping. And it was refreshing and delicious. The cloud topping was milky and fluffy. Service was typical. She took my order and got it ready. read more

Went here a couple weeks ago with my friends and this was when they were still soft-opening. I got the Island Matcha and they got Banana Matcha. I didn't really like my drink because that coconut syrup and macadamia was strong and sweet. Definitely would prefer coconut water over syrup. My friends thought their drinks were okay as well. It did take some time to get our drinks because there were only 2 staff members working with a lot of orders coming in after the other. The location is also hard to find because it was in such an obscure place. If i came again, i would definitely try other drinks instead. read more

I was here last week for a Yelp event and came back today with my LO to try another drink because what I had ordered at my first visit was just so good. Came around 2:30 and it wasn't very busy. There was plenty of parking spots. The construction throughout the plaza seems intimidating but all the stores are open. I can't drink anything caffeinated after 12 noon if I want to sleep at night so I chose the avocado mango smoothie. They use fresh avocado and fruits and you can definitely taste the difference. I don't like my drinks too sweet so 30% sweet was perfect for me. The drink had mango and bits of grapefruit. It was delicious I ordered the ichigo strawberry for my LO at 30% and got a thumbs up from her. I can't wait to come back and try their premium matcha drinks. read more

I stumbled into this café to grab a matcha latte after going to Michaels next door. I ordered an earl grey matcha with oat milk and it was really great! I wouldn't call myself a matcha connoisseur, but I do love myself a good matcha. It was a perfect level of sweetness and the matcha wasn't grainy, which is pretty much the main criteria I'm concerned about. The earl grey flavor was nice and not overpowering. I was surprised to find this little mom and pop gem and would probably come back next time I'm in the area. I haven't jumped on the banana cream matcha bandwagon, but that may be on my list to try next time. They do also have non-matcha boba shop drinks, which also look pretty good too! read more

This spot has unexpectedly become my go-to for a treat yourself drink. They offer an admirable variety of matcha drinks (my personal fave being their banana matcha) and are constantly adding new and seasonal drinks to the menu. I love the revolving door of inventiveness. It keeps the place fresh, and keeps me coming back, unfortunate for my wallet. Other drinks I can vouch for are the hojicha lattes and twilight taro. Yum! They get extra points from me for using my tried and true, Straus milk. Service is usually kind! Space is small and seating is limited however. read more

dude, I am addicted to this tea shop! been in 2x in 2 weeks already... their matcha strawberry latte is off the hook.

Great quality matcha. Drinks are very delicious However, every time I've been here the service has been questionable. The workers are quite standoffish and rude. I am a huge believer in front store positions like theirs to be the face of the place, creating and setting the energy of the atmosphere. It's a cute cafe vibe inside and I eally do enjoy their menu. They have unique drinks like the Island Matcha as well as a Viet Coffee Matcha but then again customer service leaves a big impression. read more

I saw this place when driving by. Replaced the old bobahi. We ordered on DoorDash. Prices are about 10% higher than in store. We got the oolong tea latte, jasmine tea cloud and the avocado mango smoothie. All at perfect sweet. I think for the tea drinks, the perfect sweet (70%) is a bit sweet for me. I would've preferred it at 30% sweet instead. The oolong tea latte had a mid tea taste but I think it could've been stronger. The jasmine tea cloud taste a bit like the 85c sea salt Jasmine green tea but the tea flavor was weaker. The avocado mango smoothie was good and could taste the avocado. Not bad for boba in the beach cities! :) I'll come back but maybe ask for even less sweet. read more
