    Teofilo Coffee Company is a new Filipino coffee shop located in Carson and this spot used to be GREENDOOR Powered by Intelligentsia. They specialize in serving coffee sourced from the Philippines. Teofilo Coffee Company recently opened a second location in Long Beach. [Parking]: There's a designated parking garage, but it was surprisingly packed on Sunday morning and I barely found an available spot at 10 AM on Sunday. [Atmosphere and amenities]: This is quite a popular coffee shop, but there were only two employees working so expect to wait a bit even if you order drip coffee. Ask the cashier to print the receipt as the Wi-Fi password is listed on it. The cafe is very spacious and plays modern background music. There is also a small section of the cafe called the Tayo Na Library with books for kids to read. [Menu]: According to the sign, the best sellers are the halo-halo latte, turon latte, shaken bibingka latte, and ube matcha - so basically dessert-style lattes. They use the Aeropress to make the single origin coffee. *** Shaken Bibingka Latte (hot - $7.50): Not overly sweet with hints of coconut and a caramel aftertaste - good smooth finish. *** This is a solid coffee shop for anyone who is open to try latte flavors with a different twist.

    The people who worked there were very kind and helpful when choosing a drink from the menu. Their coffee is very tasty and not too sweet! There is plenty of space to study or get work done. There are outlets along the wall. It is street parking but it was very convenient. Definitely worth checking out!

    3/22/25 Woohoo! I am HERE! Grand Opening Teofilo Coffee Co!

    3/24/26 Long overdue review! (Check my photos dates)-Attended the grand Opening & everything! Great Filipino-owned coffee shop in Carson, Ca (it might as well be Filipino town ) beans mostly sourced out of the Philippine farmers highlighting one of its wonderful natural resources: COFFEE. Check out "Barako"-known to the people of Pampanga as a "strong, robust cup of kape", at least my mom & dad would say over & over as we were growing up. This shop is spacious, clean, modern , formerly occupied by another coffee shop, Greendoor. TCC features Filipino coffee culture, supporting the hardworking Filipino farmers. The beans are roasted in-house, its humble beginnings of roasting in the proprietor's (Ron Dizon) garage. Barako is the inspiration, Liberia cultivar. My parents would often reminisce that it is the best coffee they've ever tasted, drinking it black. Teofilo was the patriarchal namesake, Ron's maternal grandfather. His very strong work ethic was embedded into the fabric of this coffee shop. Proud Filipino culture in every cup. The space faces the Carson Civic Center with ample, free parking. One can easily spend some time at their comfortable indoor & outdoor seating. High ceiling, modern music playing in the background, it's an ideal place to hang out do some work or just chill and enjoy a cup of kape. Staff are amiable & helpful Whether you enjoy your coffee black, hot or cold, this shop offers innovative flavors for beverages that are Filipino- inspired &/or pair it with baked goods (sourcing local bakers like Gemmae Bakery), it's worth trying. Plus, it helps support the small business owner & the Philippines coffee farmers. Come & check em out--see their IG page: @teofilocoffeecompany The branch in LONG BEACH is on its soft opening tomorrow 3/25/26 7am to 12 noon CONGRATS! MABUHAY

    Ube Matcha Latte $6 with Ube Foam $1

    This is one of the best coffee shops in the South Bay. The customer service is always kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. It's also a great spot to work or study the atmosphere is comfortable and easy to settle into for a few hours. They use coffee beans from the Philippines, and you can really taste the depth of flavor without it being overwhelmed by syrups or add-ins. One of their best drinks is the Shaken Bibingka. It's so addicting. I also tried their chicken siopao, and it was so good I honestly couldn't tell if it was store-bought or homemade, but either way it was savory & delicious. It reminded me of my grandma's. My family is from Pampanga in the Philippines, so we know good food, iykyk.

    Turon Latte
    Zeeshan Q.

    Really amazing coffee shop off of Carson St. They have a nice spacious open interior with plenty of seating for studying, socializing, etc. Their Filipino-inspired lattes and teas are also delicious. I ordered the Turon Latte, which is a banana latte with brown sugar, and it had a rich distinct caramel flavor that wasn't overly sweet and had a hint of banana as well. Definitely one of my favorite cafes in the area.

    Turon latté
    Gianni C.

    Wonderful local (Filipino) coffee shop. Free SHADED parking behind and free Wi-Fi with uniquely flavored lattés and ethnically inspired coffee. My favorite go-to's are the Turon latté and shaken bibingka latté, both reminding me a bit of home. Both sweetened with brown sugar. Come support the Phili-beans!

    5/10/26 Teofilo Coffee Company Carson, CA... Stopped by here to get a Mango Dream tea and a Ham & Cheese croissant! Super yummy!!! Rei shows great customer service here. Place was very inviting and so clean. I love the interior and was greatly surprised when I walked in! You gotta visit here!!!

    Highly improved, my recent visit was positive! I was in the area to do some early errands and they opened at 7am. I ordered two iced drinks: 1. A matcha latte with almond milk and two stevias. 2. An ube matcha latte with oat milk. Both were good, specifically the ube matcha because it wasn't overly sweet. I also ordered two everything croissants and they were tasty. They were stuffed with cream cheese, warmed up and so flakey. The cost was $32.66 including tax and tip. They also sell ready to eat food like burritos. Service was welcoming and the wait time was reasonable! The space is utilized with plenty of seating. They still have their Tayo Na library which was cool!

    It's a lovely coffee shop with plenty of seating and great Filipino pride. I had the banana turon latte, garnished with fried spring roll wrapper. It was a fun dessert latte, but lacked espresso flavor. I'm relieved that their whole milk is lactose free. However the hot and cold drinks are served in different sizes. Cold drinks are served in larger size, so it's an additional $1. The cashier was really kind and helped prepared drinks during the morning rush. I might stick with their hot coffee drinks if I decided to revisit.

    Turon coffee & siopao
    Angelica L.

    Needed a place to do some work & found this cute little spot during my search. What a gem of a coffee shop! Ambiance is very chill -- lots of outlets and the chairs were actually pretty comfy. There is also ample seating, with some 4 person tables too if you're coming with a group. I love how they have snack options here in case you get hungry while working. I got the turon latte, pork siopao, & ube pan de sal. The turon latte was strong, but tasty if you like bananas! Sio pao was okay, but it hit the spot for something savory. The ube pan de sal was yummy. I'd definitely come back for both the coffee & the vibes!

    The Ube latte is ok, wasn't the best I've ever had but it was drinkable. I went here when it was Green Door, and thought I would check it out. Interesting menu and the cashier was friendly.

    Book area for adults and kids!

    My very first coffee was not the best but I'm happy I returned and now I go every single day. Teofilo is probably one of the BEST coffee companies I have ever, EVER tried. My husband got the iced Bibingka latte and I got the Turon Latte. How DELICIOUS these were! It has easily become our favorite go to's! Can't wait for our next visit! And how lucky am I that it's down the street

    Filipino owned café using coffee beans from the Philippines. It's definitely a nice addition to this part of Carson. Parking is free at the adjoining car park.

It's delicious, and I love to drink through the cream on top before later swirling it a bit. The matcha ginger date scone is the best scone I've ever had in my life. I'm not usually a scone person. Perfect amount of sweetness and balance. It's good to split with someone, and don't forget to get it heated up. When I'm feeling matcha, I get the Vienna matcha (with oat milk). It's really good. This place can get busy, so order ahead online if you don't want to miss out on treats. And don't forget your jacket. It's cold inside, as they need to cool the place for their espresso machine (or so I was told). They've changed up the chairs a bit to improve the ambiance, but it's more of a spot to grab a drink and go than hang out. My fav coffee shop in Gardena.

The Thai tea was nicely balanced and not overly sweet, and the Jasmine tea was fragrant, thick, and perfect at 50% sweetness. The matcha latte was the best drink here for me: earthy, not sweet at all, and with a subtle nuttiness that made it so satisfying. The only miss was the strawberry taro, which leaned too sweet for my taste. Overall, a beautifully designed shop with some truly great drinks.

There's screens to order as well so maybe he was not expecting the human interaction. Either way it threw me off unfortunately. I'd have to wait a while to see if I wanna come back and try something different. There's too many coffee and milk tea shops that come to my mind first to visit instead.

We understood that we came in pretty late and close to closing, but we weren't planning on dining in, we just wanted to get 3 drinks and 1 food item to go. As soon as we walk in, we received with "we're closed for dining" which all three of us said okay, got it. As we took a look at the menu to figure out what we had wanted, we were met with annoyed stares and sighs as they watched us. This interaction in its full entirety lasted about 10 minutes from walk-in, to waiting, and leaving. It was a pretty uncomfortable situation, and kind of disappointing, as the girls making the drinks not only rolled their eyes and let out sighs while simply making our drinks, messing up one of them up and saying "oh well" and continued to make faces. Which is fine, I didn't ask for it be remade since I didn't want to further interact with the women during this closing shift in this establishment as to not want to feel anymore uncomfortable as we had been with the treatment from the staff. Along with the service not being the greatest, the food item we had ordered Pad See Ew, ended up containing quite a few pieces of meat that we weren't anticipating, considering one of us doesn't eat meat, it unfortunately caused pretty bad stomach issues. We hope that maybe we had just caught an off day with the staff and this isn't the usual service, but as it was our first time at this establishment, it will more than likely be our last.

After taking our order, the employee returned to chatting with coworkers.

It was overwhelmingly sweet and overpriced for what we received. We were hoping for layers of flavor and nostalgia but got a sugar rush that could probably power a small city. As a business owner myself, I understand that customer service is one of the biggest drivers of customer retention. Great products can bring people in once, but great service brings them back. Unfortunately, this visit missed the mark on both. The good news? These issues are fixable. A little more warmth, engagement, and hospitality would go a long way. Until then, we'll continue our search for our next favorite halo-halo spot.
