I honestly think the owner is a coffee genius. The seasonal flavors she comes up with are just insane. 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. read more

Tot Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Tucked in a corner of a small shopping center, TOT Coffee is such a gem. The coffee here is consistently 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. read more

Esther and the team at Tot are the absolute best! We've been searching for a good local coffee spot for a while now and finally found it and it's becoming an addiction. We look forward to our Tot visits all the time! read more

Gotta come back to this spot to try more drinks!! Ordered the Blueberry Cream Matcha and Vanilla Chai Latte. Both drinks weren't overly sweet and tasted so yummy. I love the whole interior inside the shop and the little tables/stools that you can sit outside as well. Great service, will definitely be back again. read more

Yummy! Came around 8am on a weekend, and it was already busy with many customers coming in and out. Ordered a Feels Like Home, which is an einspänner topped with cocoa powder. Also got a mushroom pastry warmed up, too, but honestly, it wasn't that warm; I had to heat it up some more back at home, but it was a flaky, buttery, and flavorful treat. The drink was delicious, strong coffee and not too sweet. Glad that Tot Coffee is a nice addition to the South Bay! read more

Tot Coffee - Feels Like Home drink- yum! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I got the blueberry cream matcha and that was tasty. Staff were super friendly and the cafe was set up nicely. Recommended.

Blueberry cream matcha - really good. The blueberry cream is sweet and the matcha is good quality. Mixing it together creates the perfect combo. I have tried some other matcha spots in the South Bay and I think this might be my favorite matcha. My husband got the yuzu jasmine tea. It's sweet but not super sweet and you can taste the tea and yuzu. However after an hour or two the tea became a bit bitter so I recommend to drink this one sooner rather than later. read more

Tot Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Stopped by on a Saturday morning for a beach-coffee run and Tot completely delivered. The space is funky, fresh, and eclectic--in a fun, curated way. Plenty of indoor tables for catching up, reading, or working (yes, outlets + laptop crowd spotted). Parking: So easy. Huge lot, underground garage, and street parking nearby. No stress. What I Ordered: Tot Cream Latte -- creamy, balanced, and absolutely worth the hype. Yuzu Tonic -- bright + refreshing, perfect for a sunny day. Would 100% order both again. Service: Fast and efficient (love that). Staff were fine--more transactional than chatty, which honestly works for a quick grab-and-go. Final Take: A perfect South Bay coffee stop: great drinks, fun vibe, and ideal for anything from a quick pick-me-up to a long patio hang. I'll be back. read more

I wish this cafe was closer to me because this was some of the best coffee/lattes that I've ever had! I was at Redondo beach this past weekend for a little getaway and I love checking out new coffee shops so I had to come here. The service was great, the girl who took our order was so nice when my partner and I were being indecisive, LOL! We ended up ordering the bananamisu and tot cream latte. Both drinks had a good sweetness to coffee ratio. There's plenty of seating inside but not too sure about any outdoor seating. The only downside to the coffee shop is the plaza it's in and the lack of parking spots. I'll definitely be back again when I'm vacationing in Redondo! read more

How have I not written a review yet for Tot? My friend initially told me about Tot, and it's not far, but not close to me (I live in Manhattan Beach). It's not convenient to get to because in between home and here, there are a dozen coffee shops.. but I will make the 15-20 min roundtrip trip for Tot. Their coffee is so good, definitely one of the best, if not the best, in the area. I also like how they have an online ordering system- makes it easy for quick pickup. I've gotten pastries here a few times and everything is excellent quality and delicious. Parking is super easy and plentiful. So happy to have Tot in the area! read more

Went to Tot for the first time today and I'd definitely come back. The drinks were really good. My partner got an Iced Vanilla Latte with oat milk and house cream top, and I got the Iced Tot Cream Latte. Both were smooth, flavorful, and not bitter at all. The shop itself was cute and cozy with seating available if you want to hang out for a bit. Service was fine overall. Drinks came out pretty quickly and the baristas were polite, but the customer service experience wasn't especially memorable. read more

Tot Coffee - Blues Clues & Tot Cream Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I've been a customer of Tot for a bit now, and I love their coffee! I usually get their Americano, but if I'm feel like getting something sweet, ill get the Blues Clue's (Blueberry Peppermint Latte)! The Blues Clues drink has the perfect sweetness and flavor! The sweet blueberry with a mild hint of peppermint make a huge difference. Its almost refreshing! If you have yet to try this one, i would 100% recommend getting the Blues Clue's! Customer service is always at a high level. Staff is very kind and always willing to help! read more

Stopped by TOT Coffee in Redondo and had one of the best lattes I've had in a long time. I ordered a honey oat milk latte and they took the time to recreate my dog in the latte art -- such a cool, thoughtful touch. Beyond the creativity, the coffee itself was smooth, balanced, and genuinely delicious. You can tell they care about quality and the experience. Great vibes all around. I'll definitely be back. read more

Tot coffee is a local favorite located near the beach! The streets are always busy but lucky parking is not too shabby on the times that I visited. The exterior is beautiful and it is located amongst other stores. The people are kind and the interior is well designed! It's a perfect place to either do work or meet with friends! I recommend this place for their interior design and aesthetics. I got the matcha with Creme top and my friend got their coffee. I'm a fan of their matcha and food. Their bread is delicious and served fresh/warm! Definitely recommend Tot coffee and will be returning soon. read more

We stopped by here on our way to redondo beach for a beach day ! It's located in a nice plaza with lots of parking !

I got the blueberry matcha latte with a blueberry foam top My husband got the tot latte iced The matcha was amazing!! You can tell it was real fresh blueberries not a syrup ! The tot latte was also spectacular!! It was super creamy and had like a nutty flavor? If I could I'd get it everyday read more

Such a cute cafe with unique drinks and delicious pastries. Absolutely love the creative, innovative drink menu at Tot. They also have a housemade milk that uses cream and almond flavor so any drink with it is reminiscent of a Philz-style heavy cream drink. The pastries are top quality and the staff are really wonderful. Tot is absolutely worth a stop in! read more

TLDR: feels like home indeed feels like home Stopped by Friday morning and it wasn't too busy. They have some unique artsy seats with vintage looking pictures on the wall and beans to buy on the side. I opted for their hot "Feels like home" drink. True to its name, it really does feel like home. The first thing you taste when you take a sip is the sweet cream with a touch of nuttiness. Tilting the cup even more, the espresso comes through. Paired with the cocoa, the drink gives the same nostalgia factor as a warm cup of hot chocolate (just with that kick of caffeine to keep you going throughout your day). Highly recommend! read more

I've been to this spot well over 10 times now, and by far it's my favorite. I literally drive from Long Beach to stop by, the feels like home latte is INSANE. Just wanted to share my appreciation :) read more

Originally we came for the bogo anniversary, but I didn't realize that it ended at 3pm. I've seen this place on Tik Tok a few times and finally got the chance to try it. The Blueberry Cream Matcha was good, my first time having a blueberry matcha with cream. It was not too sweet and good balance between matcha and blueberry. It definitely is the best matcha in Redondo. The matcha was smaller than the coffee that was ordered. We ordered the Bananamisu, the banana flavor was barely there and it just tasted like a regular latte to me. I think the drink could use cream top in it since most of the banana/tiramisu drinks I've tried at other places do include it. The cafe is super cute and well decorated, I really like the vibes in there. It was busy on a Saturday afternoon, they have indoor and outdoor seating. ig: @cravingswithcat read more

Quality drinks, good for chilling, reading, studying or socializing! Today was my first time coming here and I enjoyed it. The ambiance is pretty chill, seating is comfortable, the baristas are friendly, and my drink was good! I decided to go with the pour over and I really liked the presentation on a tray with a card that gives the details of the beans. There are other things in the plaza and nearby to eat if you are feeling hungry or want to get coffee from here after your meal. There is huge space for underground parking, which helps a lot. I got an opportunity to talk with the owner for quite some time and its great to see her journey into opening this cafe! read more

They were very quick with our order, and the front server was kind and patient while my partner and I decided what to get. I highly recommend the bananamisu. We did not try any of the food options, but they have a few and everything looked really good. It is a small spot tucked into the corner of a shopping plaza. It can get busy, and we waited about 10 to 15 minutes for our coffee. read more

Service was fantastic! Very welcoming, friendly and quick service. I got the Tot Cream Latte. Butterscotch caramel cream? Yes, please. I'm always really hesitant to try anything with butterscotch caramel because although I like my drink on the sweeter side, I definitely don't want it to be overtly sweet... and this was not overwhelming sweet. I found it to be just the right amount. Inside was clean. Would recommend trying it out. read more

Great coffee shop with very chill vibes. Went on a Wednesday afternoon and it was pretty quiet inside and outside (where we sat). I ordered the matcha tiramisu and it came out pretty quickly.

This place is a gem for coffee. The prices are so fair. The Coffee Purrfect! They are so nice, and the place is so cute!

Parking is a little limited, but there's usually something on the street or they do have an underground. read more

Cute cafe! Very minimalist, clean and modern space. Great spot to meet with friends. However, the times I have been here, it was pretty crowded and all the tables inside were full. They do have free wifi though so you can try to get your work done here if you're lucky enough to snag a spot. I've tried the following drinks so far: - Tot Cream Latte: This is their signature coffee drink and it's made with butterscotch caramel cream. I didn't like this drink because it was a little too buttery and heavy for me... but that's just due to my own personal taste. I can see others enjoying it. - Blue's Clues: I really enjoyed this iced espresso drink with peppermint and blueberry puree. If you like a hint of mint in your coffee (i.e. Philz iced mint mojito), then you will probably like it. I recommend this one if you want to try a unique iced coffee drink here that is refreshing and delicious. - Iced Matcha Latte: I got this unsweetened with oat milk and I loved this! They use ceremonial grade matcha and Peter makes it very well here. Very smooth, delicious, and not gritty or grainy at all like some other places. I would totally get this again. Possibly my favorite matcha latte in the area. They also have various fresh breads and pastries on display that I will have to try next time! Service: good, knowledgeable, efficient Parking: free and easy in plaza lot and underground garage. read more

Their "Bananamisu" is incredible, service was exceptional and the workers are very kind, best coffee shop in Redondo, hands down!

I wasn't expecting Redondo Beach area would get me fall for it the first visit given how rich their options were on places to dine and hang out. It's also not overly crowded like Manhattan Beach, making it perfect option. Discovered Tot from IG, I loved how cozy the space was, though I'd say not the most accommodative for bigger group unless you're just doing grab and go. They offered several house signature drinks, and doubtlessly I picked the top one (Tot Cream Latte) as it featured butterscotch caramel cream which I really loved to pair with my coffee. The default went with whole milk, but I substituted it with their house milk, which was basically sweetened almond milk just for fun and turned out lovely! The size was tad small for the price, relatively compared to similar ones, but I guessed the taste made it worthy. read more

They were out of most pastries when I went, so I got the mushroom pastry. It was ok, but the mushrooms weren't warmed the whole way. The bread with butter and jam looked really good though, I'll try that next time. There were a couple of ppl there with laptops, so I assume they have WiFi. Great spot, I'll def be back next time I'm in the area! read more

This new coffee shop in Redondo Beach serves unique coffees with solid cream tops. I tried their popular Tot Cream latte with almond milk and the Blue's Clues which is a blueberry peppermint latte. They have parking in the lot as well as an underground parking garage. I thought the Tot Cream latte tasted decent with a good taste of coffee and a butterscotch caramel cream that wasn't overly sweet. I guess I'm not the biggest fan of butterscotch or maybe the flavors of the butterscotch, caramel, and cinnamon was too much for me since I didn't think the flavor was amazing but I thought the espresso itself was good. The Blues Clues was a very unique drink with an interesting mix of blueberry puree and peppermint flavor. It was quite refreshing and good to try but I probably wouldn't get it next time. I wanted to try their Yuzu Espresso Tonic but they were sold out when I went Saturday afternoon. Not sure if I would return but if I do I would probably try the yuzu espresso tonic and the Feels like home latte. read more

Honestly I have been struggling to find a good matcha spot in South Bay. Long Beach has much better options but the places I've tried in redondo/manhattan/hermosa are usually a miss so I was pleased to find a place that actually uses good quality matcha (they get theirs from a farm in Japan) and they use a good amount of grams but I like mine strong so get 2 extras grams. You can see my order in the receipt but the one star less is for the high price point and they are only serving a 12 oz. Usually other shops it's standard to do 16 oz so I felt I finished the drink in like 2 sips. read more

The good: This has tot-ally been on my to try list for a while. I was glad I was able to come and try their pastries and drinks. The pastries were EXCELLENT. I got 3 different kinds and they tasted fancy and fun rather than generic and grocery-store purchased. They weren't too sweet. They were flaky and delicious. I tried a blueberry coffee (called Blues Clues) and an "apple of my eye" apple and earl grey tea from their spring/summer menu. The options were great and so unique. I was able to sit here for a few hours to do my continuing education requirements. They had outlets. There were some benches outside for seating. The bad: The interior is smaller so it's not great for larger groups. Parking can also be limited. I would've liked more peppermint flavor in the Blues Clues drink. The view from inside isn't interesting because you're just looking out into a parking lot. The interesting: It's a Korean-owned cafe I believe with interior retro decor that reminds me of other Korean-owned businesses like Old Ferry donut and Oncle's cake shop (which I think closed). I liked the thoughtful and retro interior design style. The parque-style tile flooring was reminiscent of 90s McDonalds. I think this was the same flooring at Old Ferry Donuts. read more

Blues Clues 4/5: blueberry compote mixed well with the lattee, good size too although the espresso flavor wasn't very strong Tot cream 3/5: the cream was delicious but the sizing was pretty small and the espresso didn't blend as smooth The inside is cute and spacious, though not a lot of tables for work could be a cute place for meeting up with friends especially with the outdoor patio. read more

I know that's super basic, but something about a combination of quality butter and fresh jam just HITS. I will definitely return! read more

Tot Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

New coffee spot in the South Bay!! The area has been in need of a cafe like this for a long time. We ordered the Tot Cream latte, espresso cioccolato, matcha latte and kouign-amann. All of them were excellent, but my favorite was the tot cream latte. Not too sweet but still had a lot of flavor and definitely stood out/is more unique than the typical "cream top" lattes you see at every cafe now. I'd even venture to say that this is my new favorite drink at any coffee shop. Because everything was so good, I ordered the Feels Like Home to take on the road. The owner is very personable, knowledgable and nice! She knows her stuff and it really shows in each drink on the menu. Plenty of FREE parking both in a lot and underground. The location is great as you are very close to the beach. I drove about 40 minutes just to try this spot and it was well worth it! I'd put it into my top 3 coffee shops in LA. read more
