    The Service;: Super efficient. Just a few minutes after I placed my order on their app... It was ready on the counter!! The Drinks: They have special promotion now.... Any 4 drinks (any size) for $20! Of course I ordered all venti size~ my favorite drink will be frappuccino Matcha! So refreshing and a great dessert for me. The Parking: private parking lot

    Where do all the locals go? Well, they are hanging out at the Starbucks on Torrance Blvd. Coffee drinkers dawn the tables with their laptops, iPads, Kindles, you name it you'll see it. A rather laid back location, you can get your beverage and snack and sit indoors or if weather permits, they do have the outdoor patios where the locals go with their 4 legged friends. Starbucks Menu, Starrbucks beverages. Lots of parking BUT depending on which direction you are in, beware only of the left turn getting into the parking. I recommend going around the block for a right turn entrance to the mall where Starbucks is located

    I always mobile order and pick up at drive thru , staff is nice but they do take some time to make orders . I get my drink as pictured and I don't even know what to say. This and many other Starbucks serve their drinks like this just because I ordered light ice. And if I don't mention the ice I get more then half the cup full of ice and gets watered down fast. The location El Segundo and Cedar is the only Starbucks that is amazing and doesn't get stingy with their drinks. Unfortunately I moved away and the one on Crenshaw is my closest one or the one by the galleria mall. It's just disappointing to see considering the drinks are almost $7. I know I'm not the only one going through this issue. If I bother to ask to remake they get real pissy and bothered even if I park and go inside. So whatever.......

    After a rough day at work, I thought I would drive by and pick up the new Lavender Matcha drink as you can see mine had NO LAVENDER ONLY sweet cream or some type of cream, but it sure was not lavender when I brought it to the young ladies attention, and even held it out in the sunlight, you could see no lavender, she did not offer to remake drink , which I was a little disappointing , she just kinda gave me a crooked little smile. I did not want to be rude, so I even left her a tip. I guess I will not be ordering that drink again anytime soon.

    Came here to study and it's actually really nice outdoor seating and had an outlet for me to use. Barista was nice and drink and spinach feta wrap were good, as always. Recommend!

    Outdoor seating.  Great even in the rain. Unless you are a sourpuss and can only be happy in sunny days.

    It's Starbucks, you've heard of them right? Well it's got all the usual fixings. What's great about this one is that it's all walk up and seating is all outside. So you inevitably end up talking to people in line and petting their dogs. Plus being outside even in our February super storm is what makes LA great. They also have a drive though, which I know communities hate because they don't want to be a drive through neighborhood, but for mom's like me with kids in the car and am always in a rush, it makes it easier. There's plenty of parking. Victoria at the window gave me a massive smile and was just delightful. Keep shining pretty girl!! I didn't it more stars because they don't allow you to use their outdoor, coded entry bathrooms. I understand that we are in a humanitarian crisis with unsheltered individuals setting up camp in bathrooms but, what is a middle-age woman who needs to pee every thirty minutes to do? I've always felt that a soft benefit of their over priced drinks, is the access to their moderately maintained bathrooms. I need to peel y'all!!

    This is the new kid on the block! This new Starbucks location is mainly a drive-thru, and geared to serve busy cross-town commuters such as myself. This place is clean, nicely designed, and has friendly and efficient staff. I finally had a chance to stop here for a nice cup of joe. I saw them advertising their nitro cold brews, so this is what I ordered. The nitro cold brew is strong! Which is exactly how I like my coffee. The nitro made it taste smoother, which provided a balanced flavor. This location is conveniently located, and a good alternative to other coffee drive-thrus in the area.

    This is a brand-new Starbucks location next to El Camino College on Crenshaw. I've been waiting for it to open since I saw the "Coming Soon" sign :) It has a drive thru, large patio & big parking lot. I'm sure it will be packed during school hours but It's going to be a great spot at night, weekends & holidays. Here's the Starbucks Checklist: Baristas are quick & friendly. Line was none but I'm sure it will fill as people find it. Drive thru. Plenty of parking. Lots of seating on the patio. Store & patio cleanliness = A Bathroom cleanliness = n/a Had a great experience with the friendly barista, can't wait to come back. This will go on my list of 'regular' locations.

    Great Demand, But Poor Convenience for Working Customers…read more I've had The Nook's mushroom coffee before. My best friend took me here on a weekend afternoon, and even then there was a line, although it was manageable and mostly stayed inside the shop. Because of that experience, I knew The Nook was popular, but I wasn't prepared for what I encountered on a weekday morning. I wanted to pick up a coffee before work, so I actually planned ahead. Before leaving home, I checked the mobile website expecting that, given the obvious demand, there might be an order-ahead option. Unfortunately, there isn't one. So I gave myself an additional 30 minutes specifically for parking, waiting in line, ordering, and waiting for the drink to be prepared. I figured that should be more than enough for a morning coffee pickup. I arrived around 7:30 AM, and as I walked toward The Nook from the south side of The Enclave, I could already see the line stretching out of the door and into the courtyard. I was honestly shocked. There were easily 15-20 people ahead of me. I decided to give it a fair chance and got in line. After 10 minutes, the line had barely moved. At that point, I walked out. I understand that popular businesses get busy, especially in the morning. But there is a difference between being busy and having a customer wait in a line of 15-20 people with virtually no movement at 7:30 AM, particularly when there is no mobile ordering or order-ahead option. For a coffee shop with this level of demand, I find the lack of an ordering system especially frustrating. If you're going to consistently have lines extending outside the business during the morning rush, there should be some way for customers who are trying to grab a drink on their way to work to order ahead. And that's really my issue: the customer experience doesn't seem designed for people who need coffee efficiently. If you're coming here on a weekend, have nowhere to be, or are willing to dedicate an unpredictable amount of time to waiting, you may have a completely different experience. But if you're trying to get coffee before work, I would strongly recommend accounting for significantly more time than you think you'll need -- or having a backup plan. I no longer work as close to The Nook, and I don't drink coffee after noon, so I don't have much reason to make a special trip. Unless I'm conveniently nearby and see little to no line, I won't be making another attempt anytime soon. The Nook clearly has a loyal following, but popularity shouldn't come at the expense of basic convenience. If the demand is consistently this high, the ordering process needs to catch up with it.

This place is a total gem, and if you haven't been yet, you are seriously missing out! Let me tell you about the star of my visit, the Matcha Cream Filled Croissant. Oh. My. Goodness. This thing is on another level. The croissant itself is buttery, perfectly golden, and incredibly flaky -- with just the right amount of crisp on the outside. But the matcha cream filling? Silky smooth, lusciously rich, with a beautiful earthy matcha flavor that isn't overpowering or too sweet. It's the kind of bite that makes you stop mid-chew just to appreciate how good it is. I honestly could eat three of these in a sitting. The Korean-American fusion approach to their baked goods is inspired and completely unique, you won't find anything like it anywhere else in the South Bay or in Gardena. Seriously Impressive, I paired my croissant with their Iced Matcha Latte, made with premium grade matcha sourced from Jeju Island, and WOW, this drink is stunning. It's vibrant, beautifully layered, and tastes as amazing as it looks. The matcha is bold and authentic without being bitter, perfectly balanced with creamy, cold milk. Not too sweet, not too earthy -- just absolutely perfect. It's easily one of the best iced matcha drinks I've had in a while. You can customize your milk choice too, which is a great thoughtful touch. This place is warm & welcoming: The staff here is attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and made to feel at home. The baristas are well-trained and knowledgeable, they took their time explaining the menu and made sure my order was exactly right. No rushing, no attitude, just genuine hospitality that keeps you coming back. Decor is absolutely Charming. The interior of Smoking Tiger is adorable and so well thought out. It's modern, clean, and stylish with a cozy Korean café aesthetic that feels fresh without trying too hard. The lighting is warm and inviting, the seating is comfortable, and the whole vibe just makes you want to stay for hours. There's both indoor and outdoor seating available, which is a great bonus. Whether you're catching up with a friend, working on your laptop, or just treating yourself to something special, this place sets the perfect mood. One thing that really stood out to me was how immaculately clean this café is. The tables, counters, floors, and display cases were all sparkling, it's clear that the team takes real pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for every guest. A clean café is a happy café, and this one passes with flying colors. Bottom Line, Smoking Tiger Coffee & Bread is the real deal. Creative, high-quality food, exceptional drinks, warm service, gorgeous decor, and a spotless space, this place checks every single box. The Matcha Cream Filled Croissant and Iced Matcha Latte alone are worth the trip. Do yourself a favor and go try yourself. Miguel C.

Since my first visit, there's been many competitors opening around Gardena, but I find myself drawn back to this place because of the balance of spaciousness (there's actually places to sit whenever I go!), quality of products (the espresso shot is pretty strong and they have many beans to choose from), and best of all, price of their drinks (specifically the specialties). While I wouldn't say the prices are a bargain, it feels more reasonable than other local competitors. One thing I do miss is that 2 years ago, the pastries weren't individually wrapped. We used to have the option of selecting pastries with tongs, the typical experience you'd get when going to a bakery in Japan. Hopefully they would bring that experience back again! Until then, I'll keep returning for their quality drinks!

A teenager looked a little blank and I said, 'this place is void of furniture and the cups, lids and straws aren't uniform, like at other Sunrise Tea Studios.' He laughed and said the owner was having some finance troubles. WHOA! Okay, I was have joking, but not expecting THAT answer. lol My brûlée was good, the cheese foam perfect and the staff friendly enough but, man, this is such a sad looking studio. I hope things turn around soon. Cheers! "CC"
