I've tried their banana matcha (top tier), strawberry matcha (has real strawberry bits ), coconut matcha, ube matcha (seasonal), biscoff latte (off menu). All so very good! They also have many pastry options to complement your drink. All the workers are nice and are always hustlin to get the drinks out with a quickness since the line tends to be long during peak hours. Unfortunately no online ordering still due to said long line. Aesthetically pleasing and love their music choices. A definite must in Torrance!

I love this coffee shop! They make the best Iced Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk around. Not to mention…read morethey provide ample and comfortable seating to enjoy the coffee purchased. I'm so glad there is a place around that prioritizes the full coffee shop experience. The only major caveat is parking... it fills up fast and can be difficult to visit the place if there is no parking around.

So grossed out. I got to the bottom of my vanilla latte and felt a chunk of something in my mouth…read more It was light brown and I brought it to the barista and they told me it was the skin of a vanilla pod. I told them vanilla beans are black and they kept claiming it was the vanilla pod. I make my own vanilla syrup and extract at home and even with it sitting in alcohol for years it never turns to brown. I wanted to throw up I was so disgusted and they did nothing but make me feel stupid for not accepting their answer of it being a pod. Bummer cause this was one of our usual spots but after this experience never again. To the owner who just responded, the two baristas did not have any offer to remake the drink or fix the situation. The initial barista just told me what I explained and all he did was include the other one to show and agree with him. And as a baker for over 12 years I have never seen a vanilla pod turn brown in my life even after steeping it for years so that should not have been the case. I have worked with vanilla pods for years and that never had that texture nor color.

OFFSET.... Not the rapper, the coffee shop!…read more I've been hooked on their dirty horchata for YEARS now. It could be store bought horchata mix for all I know but it is uuuhhhhhMAAYYYZZZIINNGGG!!!! It hits everytime!! All the dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, all of them rush my brain once that first sip hits. This location is much smaller with the most horrid parking spots known to man. & with the traffic on Crenshaw.... Phew good luck. Anyways love my dirty horchata!! I tried the waffle from the bakery case, it was good. Way too sweet for my liking but fluffy and a nice bite to it!

LOVE this place. The cream puffs are the biggest seller here. I saw someone had driven in from a…read moredistance to order these cream puffs to go. They offer these ice packs which are genius and a must since these cream puffs will melt and worse, may not taste as great after the drive home. This place is cute and TINY. The ladies who work here are so kind,hard-working and humble about how amazing these puffs are. My favorite is the black sesame one. Of course, there are several other desserts here. Their cheesecake is another favorite of ours. Parking is limited but I've been able to snag a spot. Definitely check this place out.

Order 24 hours ahead for the cream puff so they don't run out!…read more I got all the cream puffs to try: black sesame, vanilla, and chocolate. I'm not a fan of chocolate, but that one was definitely more prominent than the vanilla. The black sesame is the one to get. It was on Jonathan Gold's 99 things to eat in LA before you die. I need to come back to try the other pastries!

We brought my little granddaughter here after school for a treat. She has visited here often and…read morepointed out her favorite goodies to us. Considering it was our first visit she recommended a few things to her PopPop and me. She ordered the hotdog in pastry and the spam musubi. We ordered the apple croissant, ham and cheese croissant and the beef curry pan. Everything was quite tasty. We will return to try a few other things and buy bread next time. The service was spot on and friendly, in addition, we were asked if we wanted anything heated up. The ambiance is light and airy with windows all around. Items on display make it easy to pick out whatever you like. Highly recommend a trip to the Cream Pan. Unfortunately, we devoured our treats before I remembered to take a photo.

As many say here, I have been going to this bakery for past several months every weekend to grab…read morebaked goods. As many say this is a great bakery with great pricing. A month ago, they raised their prices quite hefty probably due to the inflation and tariffs. I was okay with this price increase. However a week ago, I bought and ate an apple pie (apple croissant) and while eating, I noticed in my mouth there was something sharp and metal. I took it out and saw that it was this metal piece that was IN the baked good! Like how does this even happen! I even feed the baked goods to my 1.5 year old toddler and if my kid ate it, I woulda had to take him to the ED! I am extremely disappointed by this and I don't think I would like to go back. This is a shame since I really liked this bakery. Other customers please be aware... there maybe some metal piece in your food...

The double matcha was on the creamier side while still carrying the rich matcha flavor. The cookies & crème held a rich chocolate flavor.

I got the coconut paradise matcha, banana beast matcha, and mexican vanilla latte…read more I think that the matcha is not strong, so if you like a less intense creamier matcha where you can taste the cream top/syrup more, then this will be for you. I prefer a strong matcha flavor, so this was not for me. But their cream foams are yummy. The coffee was better, it has a strong flavor and is not too creamy which one of us preferred. Overall, I think their coffee is better than their matcha, but I am glad I tried. Love to support small local businesses! I would go back to try a different coffee or a refresher

Bada Coffee is an independent coffee shop located in Torrance, at the Plaza Mayor Shopping Center…read more It combines Korean Café' looks and taste and it even has a robot to make your coffee, but have no fear, there are people there to help out. The place is ever so cute. It is spotless. The service is great. Even the robot is adorable. We love their Mango mango and all of their lattes are great. Their espresso is perfect. I wish it was open a bit later. We often end up there near closing. But it is one of our favorite coffee shops in the South Bay. It is fun, the prices are fair and again, they have a robot. They close at 6 pm so get there. Please stay open until 7, we will come. The attention to detail in every cup is consistent and amazing. You will love it.

This place had a line out the door and was super packed inside too. We came when some friends…read morewanted to grab a drink there. There were only a few tables and benches inside a somewhat L-shaped shop with a very narrow hall and one all gender restroom available. To be honest, I don't know what the hype was about. I ordered a golden hour expresso tonic and the frozen matcha. Both were good, but nothing that was inherently unique from other coffeeshops. My matcha was smoothly blended but definitely more on the milky side. My husband's tonic was refreshing and slightly citrusy, but not different than tonics we've tried at other shops. Due to the small space and random amounts of people standing around and just chatting and hanging inside the shop, I wouldn't come again unless it's a quick grab and go. Even then, not sure if it's worth the line or wait, but I guess some people seem to really like this place.

Sidecar is located in a busy shopping center, right across from the entrance to Trader Joes, so you…read morecan imagine what parking is like. They have two main types of donuts -- super dense and cakey, or lighter and airy. Most are the cakey variety, so if you are into lighter Krispy Kreme type donuts, there won't be many options for you. They have some interesting flavors to choose from. I have tried both the thick, crumbly ones and the lighter variety. Both are high quality, but their cake donuts are just way too dense and chewy for my liking. I did enjoy their light vanilla glazed traditional style donut, but at more than $1/bite, it's not worth it in my opinion. They do have good, made-to-order coffee; iced oat milk latte with a touch of vanilla is my go-to. Props to the staff for keeping the line moving, offering suggestions, and making good drinks. I'm giving 5 stars because there's nothing bad to report, I'm just more of a Krispy Kreme or rundown mom & pop donut shop kinda guy.
