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!

A combo truly well done. Service was also pretty fast. The shop itself is cute and simple with limited seating.

The Boy & The Bear is a popular local coffee shop in Redondo Beach (just across from Eat at Joe's)…read morewith local customers often bringing their kids or dogs. Oddly enough their logo reminds me of the logo from Boba Guys. The shop was originally rebranded from The Fika Company and this Redondo Beach location is the flagship store. The Boy & The Bear places a strong emphasis on store design and each location is named after a different color as this one is called the Black Store. Currently, they have multiple locations in Los Angeles (Redondo Beach, Culver City, Westchester, Pasadena, Sherman Oaks, and Gardena) with new shops opening in South Pasadena (Summer 2026) and Little Italy in San Diego (Summer 2026). [Parking]: Metered parking on N Francisca Ave. Otherwise visitors will need to circle around for local street parking. [Atmosphere]: Spacious indoor seating (about five tables) and a bar table & 5-6 small outdoor bench tables and additional cozy outdoor seating. [Menu]: A straightforward coffee menu with only three syrup flavors: mocha, vanilla, and caramel. They also offer teas and various croissants. *** Vanilla latte (to-go & hot - $7.50): No latte art - just a simple hot vanilla latte. It was a solid latte with the right amount of sweetness. *** A nice coffee shop in the South Bay with a good first-date vibe and above-average drinks, but beware of the parking situation.

A friend introduced me to TOT Coffee because she was completely addicted, and as a fellow coffee freak, I had to try it for myself. Well... after my first order, I was hooked. The NOLA was strong, rich, and packed with flavor -- exactly the kind of coffee I've been searching everywhere for. Honestly, I think Blue Bottle Coffee should come study TOT's NOLA because its better than theirs. The Chai Latte is another favorite of mine. Everywhere else, chai usually disappoints me with that artificial taste and overpowering sweetness, but here you can actually taste every single spice. Perfectly balanced and never overly sweet. And then there are the seasonal drinks... always delicious, but this round was next level. Who would've thought pineapple and coconut could work so well in an espresso latte? I seriously cannot stop thinking about it. The Pineapple Match Lemonade was incredibly refreshing too. Honestly, I'm just happy I live nearby and can grab TOT whenever the craving hits.

The coffee here is…read moreconsistently great, and their matcha is just as impressive--smooth, balanced, and clearly high quality. The space itself has a clean, modern aesthetic that feels both stylish and welcoming. They usually have chill house /hip hop music playing in the background, which adds to the overall vibe without being overwhelming. It's the kind of place you can hang out for a bit or just enjoy a peaceful coffee break. I also loved the small retail section--it's thoughtfully curated and adds a nice touch to the experience. On top of all that, the staff are genuinely friendly and make you feel right at home. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the area.

I came here…read morewith my brother and his girlfriend and we immediately realize seating is a bit limited but we're able to manage a spot. Everything felt super clean and state of the art machines to making the drinks. We ordered the chamomile tea, coconut matcha cloud, Amai special coffee, and Vietnamese coffee. Chamomile Tea - 3.5/5 it's not bad but it did come from a tea bag so nothing special and was not made in house. Coconut Matcha Cloud - 5/5 was extremely refreshing and balanced so well with the matcha. It definitely was a waker upper. You definitely taste the coconut and a hint of matcha Amai special coffee - 4.5/5 was definitely a huge kicker but also extremely strong and bold. It does come with 2 espresso shots as is Vietnamese coffee - 5/5 definitely hit the right spot for me. One thing I found interesting and unique is that the do top of with their version of sea salt cream which balanced the drink from its boldness and sweetness

I've experienced kind and attentive service here as well. Nice amount of seating to socializing or enjoying your drink in store. Pricing may be expensive to some but in my option it's pretty on par with your average cup of matcha in los angeles-- about $8ish with a choice of regular milk. Only downside i've experienced is no pastries available a lot of the time when i come not sure how often they restock them. would recommend to a matcha gyal!

Good coffee, beautiful interior…read more Hi-Fi Espresso is located in a good location, however there's several coffee stores in the same area. It's very competitive here. I got iced mocha ($7.50). It's only one size. Service was quick and it tasted very good. Some other coffee places, their iced mocha is overly sweet but this place was perfect! They also didn't fill the entire cup with ice which is good. They filled it about a quarter of the cup. Interior is spacious, have tables, they have a corner closed off for employees only. It's a coffee roaster(?). They sell bags of coffee so I assume it's a roaster. My only complaint if I have any, is that for my iced mocha, I didn't see any straws anywhere. I saw lids, wooden stirs, but no straws.

It's located in a strip mall on PCH near the Dodgers mural. There was a pretty steady flow of traffic but the line moves quickly. You can look at all their pastries and tarts on display while you wait. There isn't much of an interior to sit. I tried the green apple tart, fruit tart, cream puff, and white chocolate strawberry cake. Everything was delicious, and surprisingly awesome for being totally gluten free. My favorites are the tarts, with the crust being the standout. The cake was extremely light as if eating a cloud. I will definitely be coming back. There's so much more on the menu to try out, including drinks and breakfast sandwiches, there's no doubt I will be getting another dessert to go along with it.

They also have a dedicated mini room where people will print out pictures of themselves with a free nearby photo printer and tape it to the wall. This wall also doubles up as a gigantic chalk board. The drinks are delicious! Classic foam top heavy drinks that perfectly complement the coffee underneath that they roast themselves on-site. I got their Tiramisu cream latte and Banana kick matcha latte. Both were delicious. If you like tiramisu then you'll like this. The banana matcha latte is perfect for those who like bananas and/or matcha. They're creamy and not too sweet. They also have an entire brunch menu as well. So this place is more than just a spot for studying and socializing. We got their Dutch baby pancake which was very filling on it's own. But the highlight of our meal was their Tortilla Pizza Truffle mushroom. We had never heard of a tortilla pizza before but it was surprisingly delicious. The tortilla allows you to focus on everything above it which is exactly what I wanted! Highly recommended!
