A cozy coffee shop located in a business center, with a relaxing vibe of new age music playing in the background. There are a descent amount of seating for anyone who wants to stay and sip. The staff is friendly and fast with their services. I ordered the Tiramisu Coffee which was rich, smooth, creamy and not too sweet, which was good. I also loved the coffee foam artwork and toasted biscuit displayed on top. read more

This cafe really cares about the quality of ingredients put into their drinks. So, that does mean it's a little pricey but worth it haha. The Butter Pecan is so amazing. They toast and season the pecans. No artificial flavors here! The only downside is that the plaza is have construction. It's a little loud but definitely worth a quick coffee run. -South Bay Coffee Buzz read more

Tried this cafe out today. Had the most amazing iced salted caramel latte. The flavor completely trumped any version of this I had ever tried from mainstream coffee shops. The barista, Melissa, was welcoming and even had me check my coffee to ensure it was to my liking before I left. read more

A little disappointed. Came in expecting a cortado to be about 4-5 dollars, menu said 4.69 which isn't terrible. I asked for a cortado with normal milk, 2% or whatever they had. Then the price popped up and said $5.80, it ended up being over 7$ with tip which I think is kind of insane for a double shot with some milk. After some looking at other pictures on Yelp and Google it turns out they charge extra for normal dairy milk and oat milk is no extra charge. I feel like this should've been mentioned to me at the register, the standard for most cafes I've been to is to charge extra for plant based options. I love oat milk in my coffee but not enough to be charged extra so I normally just go for dairy milk. The cortado was ok. I think espresso shot could've been pulled a little better but I'm picky, price aside I would get it again. I just wish the milk pricing thing would be made more clear. I liked the vibe of the place it smelled pretty nice. read more

I keep coming back here!! Service is definitely great. I like to explore with different latte flavors at times and it always hits. Drinks are definitely great and the place has lots of sitting, they have WiFi and plenty of parking too. Ambiance is just perfect. I could focus on doing my stuff comfortably. They have a construction going on so that can be too loud but overall experience it's still a nice place to hang around read more

Honestly the intention of this small business is good the woman was very attentive and gave us a few recommendations but coffee was not great for my personal taste read more

Melissa is a café alchemist. She's always making new and delicious drinks and snacks and is truly becoming a pillar in the community. The vibe is unmatched, the lattes are ridiculously good, everything is super intentional, and she is constantly partnering with and elevating community. She has vegan and non-vegan snacks, something for everyone. Not sure what you want or have flavors/a vibe in mind? She'll make new things on the spot with what she has, pays incredible attention to community and details, and will leave you satisfied every single time. I'm so impressed by Melissa and Ritual Cafe. She even has a Toro Discount for folxs from CSUDH! The coffee is mostly Black-owned and always brewed fresh. Literally cannot say enough, this isn't just a café- it is an experience, and for so many it is becoming a ritualistic home away from home. Go see for yourself! read more

I recently visited Ritual Cafe and I absolutely loved the experience. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and full of personality -- you can really feel the positive energy as soon as you walk in. Their drinks are handcrafted and creative, and you can tell they put a lot of care into every cup. The service was warm and attentive, which made the whole visit even better. Overall, it feels like a hidden gem in Carson -- the kind of place you want to keep coming back to and also tell your friends about. read more

My little sister and I made a coffee stop after leaving CSUDH and saw this right around the corner ! soooo close to the school which is great for a caffeine break haha. I got the butter pecan latte ( i always take advantage of a seasonal drink ) It was sweet but strong ! I need to come back and try more of the menu. They have pastries as well that I didn't have a chance to grab but maybe next time. They don't charge extra for non dairy milk which is a HUGE plus as someone who is lactose intolerant!! Ambience was quaint, lots of paintings and plenty of seating with tables if you need to get some homework/work done. read more

Love this place! I randomly drove by and saw the sign and had to check it out. Since I don't support Starbucks it's been hard to grab a coffee locally. I love that the owner makes her own syrup, milk alternatives are free, and she uses black and brown owned coffee brands! I've been raving about ritual, the service, and the delicious latte and fresh juices! read more

This is my favorite coffee shop! This is a Small business owner not a Chain! Coffee is made by the owner every time. not made by a bunch of different baristas and you never know how that's gonna turn out! My Coffee Always tastes the same no matter what I get, Which is Delicious! Great place to collaborate, Study or to just get a cup of coffee! This spot also offers a lot of community based events as well, like open mic, Yoga, a pour over class etc... I strongly suggest you check it out! Great Service Great place to Chill! Enjoy read more

PHENOMENAL coffee. Just what I was looking for in a local coffee spot. The owner Melissa is kind, knowledgeable, and truly cares about quality and source. Ritual uses CXFFEBLACK beans and Ghost Town Oats Milk, two high quality Black owned brands. She makes the syrups in-house as well. I love that milk alternatives are free, and dairy gets the upcharge - the exact opposite of major chains. The space itself is cute and inviting, with a nice amount of seating and even a tiny table for kids. My butter pecan latte was FIRE, and the candied pecans she sells as a byproduct of making the syrup were equally as delicious. Literally ate the bag in the parking lot. I will be back!! read more

It tastes pretty, and the herbs in it are so beneficial. I'm so glad this spot exists read more

I stopped by for the first time, the barista introduced the menu to me and was incredibly kind. I went for the Strawberry Matcha and it was by far the best matcha I have had! I went back the next day to get two different coffees the Mazapán and Butter Pecan iced lattes and they were also incredible. All the drinks were smooth, had a good sweetness to it, and not overly powering, it was perfect. I highly recommend this place!
