    Thank you to Daniel for providing excellent customer service! I rarely visit Coffee Bean because there are few locations around, and I'm not a fan of their powders. They also can't control the sweetness level on some or most of their drinks. I had to wait for the traffic to lighten up before heading home, so I spent a few hours at this location. There were plenty of seats, and they do have outlets for charging. The place is pretty clean. Parking can be limited because of students staying long to study. I also saw the garage next door using their parking. I ordered their Ceylon Milk Tea with Boba. The drink was too sweet, and the boba pearls were okay. Overall, a good experience. I wished the sweetness was dialed down.

    Ice Blended

    Oh hello Ice Blended I've missed having a Coffee Bean location in the Bay Area. The baristas were very kind. They accommodated my mix of Mocha & Hazelnut ice blended flavors (with whip of course). My niece even tried their mango ice blended. I have only a few places that I can order a blended coffee drink that does not upset my stomach. The store was clean and even had some Holiday clearance items. It's a great location before you enter the freeway.

    Pure Vanilla Ice Blended drink

    I love the pure vanilla shake, it is amazing!!! The service is good and the interior and exterior is nice.

    4/4/24: It's so cute in here. (CBTL, Torrance - Crenshaw & 182nd)

    Had the pleasure of coming into Coffee Bean on Crenshaw + 182nd in Torrance today! First off it has a drive thru -- loved! I went inside, first time there and it was so cute! It's one of the nicest Coffee Bean's I've seen! I mean the decor, the modern style and aesthetics were everything! I was greeted so warmly and was helped by a manager Lorena I believe her name was. So, nice... was awesome to see that another customer who came in (a regular, it seemed) she knew names and greeted warmly, just the same. My drink (Reg. Matcha Ice blend w/ Almond Milk + Cinnamon in blend) was called out at the pickup stand... they actually had signage that said "Pick up" ...like I've been to many CBTL's and for me this one was just so super cuuuute in there to me! I also appreciated the little extra something to my drink as well (putting cinnamon on top), was a nice touch. OVERALL: I would recommend this location. Right off the 405fwy exit Crenshaw. Super Clean/Spacious. Drive-thru. Warm & Friendly Staff. I Would Definitely Return!

    First time here. Was a little confused on how to order but thank God for Brennan. He made sure to get my order correct the way I had imagined it. Great guy and had the drive thru moving despite the morning rush hour. Thanks boss man! I hope I spelled the name right, forgive me in advance if I didn't.

    We came to visit since we moved to Texas before last Christmas and we found out that sadly they do not have Coffee Bean and Tea Leaves where we live. My daughter's favorite drink was the Malibu Dream but they got rid of it for some reason. Now that we have Fall approaching that means it's time for all things pumpkin!! I decided to try the new Pumpkin Cookies and Cream Frapp since it sounded amazing and it was!! This drink was definitely Insta worthy and so pretty I didn't want to mess it up but I dove right in and didn't leave anything since it was yummy. I also got a pumpkin donut and that was fresh and full of pumpkin flavor

    Why did they close down ? I went by tonight and it was dark and completely covered . Why are most CB closing down 😭😭🙄

    My guess would be ANOTHER COVID case. This is the 3rd time they have been closed for 3 days. They were open back up today 2/11.

    When did this store started?

    This store first opened in 2014! I was there to get my first cup of joe for a buck!

    I've been going to MAI coffee for the past couple of months, and I've been able to try out their…read morevariety of options. I'm not a fan of coffee so I'm always deciding between their mochi, fresh fruit, or iced teas etc. My go-to drinks are the Yuzu Citrus No. 8 and Jasmine Frost Iced Tea (less sweet for both options). The Yuzu Citrus has the perfect amount of tang with a slight sweetness that cuts through the acidity. The tea flavor manages to shine through the fruitiness, and overall the flavors pair well with one another. The Jasmine Frost Iced Tea is very aromatic and brewed to really highlight the Jasmine. My boyfriend normally gets the mochi mango which has soft chunks of mochi mixed, and tart/sweet mango puree. I appreciate how the smoothie is never icy, and has a creamy texture. There are plenty of seating options for people, whether it's socializing or studying. It gets pretty busy and wait-times can vary greatly; I would recommend ordering ahead of time. The staff members are friendly and helpful. The only issue I have with the spot is that the drinks do tend to be on the more expensive side, with drinks ranging from $7-9. The matcha drinks are also not the highest quality, and often the matcha tastes quite diluted. Overall a solid spot!

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 service wasn't great and only one drink was good or correct. I'm still not 100% sure one of…read morethem was the correct drink. I ordered 2 drinks through the app yesterday, the Honey Bori Latte (seasonal) and the Banana Milk Latte. The Banana Milk Latte was delicious once everything was mixed well, but the Honey Bori Latte was just bitter and then less bitter when mixed. It was already half melted, there was no salted honey cold foam or Jolly Pong which is supposed to be part of the drink. I got the order to go, so I didn't notice that my drink was wrong until I got home, so I couldn't even get it corrected. I didn't realize the drink was wrong at first. I thought it was just a flavor I didn't like even though I noted that I couldn't taste Barley at all. Then half way throught it, I decided to look at the description on the app to remember what it was supposed to taste like because it tasted like an ordinary flavorless latte. The description said there's barley milk, salted honey cold foam and Jolly Pong. That's when it hit me that I either got the wrong drink or someone didn't make it right because there was no flavor of salted honey and definitely no Jolly Pong in my drink. It didn't even look like I had cold foam topping my drink, but maybe that's because it was melting already. Overall, I was very upset and disappointed with my drink, but was happy my mom's drink was fine. Now this is only a part of why I was dissapointed with yesterday's experience. The other reason was the app and workers. Maybe the workers aren't used to working with the Smoking Tiger app yet? Or maybe the app still needs work, but the drinks I ordered through the app took forever to be marked ready even though my drinks had been ready for some time which was obvious because my Honey Bori Latte was already half mixed because the layers of ingredients were melting into each other. I arrived at the cafe about 5 minutes after ordering, but the app's estimated wait time was another 10 minutes which wasn't a problem for me, especially since I saw a person waiting for his order and some people inside the cafe, although it wasn't full like usual. I just assumed some people ordered before me, so I just have to wait a bit, which again was fine with me especially since I was waiting for my mom to arrive. At some point after the one person waiting for their drink left, I realized the 2 girls at the counter were just talking and not making any drinks. I checked the app and it still said my order was being prepared. After 2 more people ordered their drinks and received them immediately, I went up to the counter, by this point it had been the app's estimated 10 minute wait. I told the girl with glasses my name and showed her the order on my phone. Then she walked toward the fridge and got my drinks, put them in a drink carrier, passed them to me and then turned around while looking at the receipt paper that was with the drinks. That was it. She didn't tell me which drink was which and they were not labeled, so my mom and I just had taste them to figure out which was which. At most places, they let you know which drink is which, so I was just confused with the service I received, especially when the place wasn't busy. And to top it all off, my order was marked completed 10 minutes after I received my order which again just left me in confusion. I usually love this place and was saddened when they got rid of their Choco Mugwort drink, but I'm always looking forward to their seasonal drinks and baked goods. This time though, I don't think I was even able to taste one of their new seasonal drinks because it tasted like a regular latte with milk. I want to try their other current seasonal drinks, but I'm also worried about what I will receive in the future and I'm not ready for another disappointing coffee any time soon.
