Stopped by one morning for coffee and loved it. I got the TOT Cream Latte -- it was both strong and delicious. I have yet to try the pastries but my friend loves the Pumpkin Nutella bread. Inside has a couple tables, and there's a cute lil eclectic corner by the register. Service was friendly too! read more

Great new coffee shop in redondo beach! Nice little plaza with plenty of parking. There's an underground parking lot as well as plaza parking. Clean interior with a decent amount of seating as well. The staff are super friendly and attentive. They even had some milk bones for larger and small dogs so it's dog friendly! The menu is simple and prices are really fair. Tried the Blues Clues iced latte which has house made blueberry purée and peppermint. It sounds like an odd combo but I love unique flavors. This really worked better than I expected. The blueberry puree isn't too sweet and the minty aftertaste made this so refreshing. Also tried the TOT cream latte hot. It uses a butterscotch cream which I've never seen anywhere else. It is so addicting I could just spoon eat that. The espresso flavor really shines through despite the other flavoring which is the most important thing. I can't stand overpowered or extra sweet flavors. I wish I lived closer because this is becoming my new favorite coffee shop!! read more

I absolutely love Tot Coffee. Their blueberry cream matcha with oat milk is my favorite drink. It started as a seasonal item but might be on their menu permanently now. My coworker loves the Blue's Clues signature latte, which has blueberry purée, peppermint, milk, and espresso, and my other coworker switches between the pour-over coffee and cappuccino. I also love their pastries, especially the spinach pastry, baguette with jam, croissant, and pain au chocolat. Everything we have tried has been delicious. You can tell the owner is very mindful, which makes for a consistently pleasant experience every time we visit. The drinks don't change depending on who makes them, and I find comfort in that consistency. I love the café's minimal but mindful aesthetic. I could sit there all day to work, read, or meet with friends or clients. The café has a mellow and inviting vibe. They also host the No Bounds Run Club, which is very inclusive for both slower runners like me and faster runners. There is a group that runs 2.5 miles and another that runs 4.5 miles. They meet every Saturday at 7 a.m., and afterwards you get a password for a discount at the coffee shop. You don't need to sign up, you can just show up. I'm not a consistent runner, but the No Bounds Run Club has made me more consistent because I love the reward of a yummy drink after the run, and I love that someone will walk with me without judgment if I don't feel like running the whole time. I love that Tot Coffee is not just a coffee shop but also building a community. read more

I'm very particular about my coffee and, more specifically, the coffee-to-milk ratio, and Tot is impressively consistent. I never end up with an overly milky latte, which I truly appreciate. They also have a great selection of both sweet and savory pastries. The barista recommended the mushroom pastry and it was absolutely divine. Safe to say, Tot has officially earned a spot in my regular coffee rotation! read more

New coffee spot in Redondo! I came because I keep seeing their drinks on Instagram from some South Bay pages I follow and was piqued by the blueberry latte so I stopped by today while en route to an errand. Honestly The tot cream latte was a solid 5! The butterscotch flavor really pops and it has that perfect balance of coffee, cream, and sweetness. Unfortunately the blues clues left a lot to be desired. It was a 1 for me. I couldn't taste the blueberry puree at all which is what I was craving :/ Additionally I specifically asked the sizing because I don't love 16 oz drinks (I want to taste my coffee) and the cashier told me they were all one size but then they proceeded to give me drinks in two different size cups - the tot cream being in a 12oz cup, and the blues clues in a 16oz. I wish he would have told me the actual sizing because I would have asked for the blues in a 12 and that may have helped the drink be a bit more balanced.

Great Coffee | Great Vibes This placed opened up recently and I've been here twice now, and tried several drinks including the Blue's Clues, TOT Cream Latte and the NOLA. All 3 drinks were amazing and came out quickly. The Blue's Clues is made from blueberry puree, peppermint, milk and espresso, and I love blueberries so this was a no brainer and I'm a bit biased but of course I enjoyed this. One tip I have on this is make sure to stir THOROUGHLY as a lot of the blueberry puree is on the bottom. The first time I got this drink I didn't know, since they drizzle some on top (which looks great) and the drink itself tasted good already so I couldn't tell the blueberry was mostly on the bottom. The 2nd time I got this, i stirred it a bit more but still ended up with syrup mostly on the bottom (which made my 2nd half of the drink taste amazing), but for the full experience make sure to stir thoroughly! The TOT Cream Latte is made from Milk, Butterscotch Caramel Cream and espresso. The cream on the top is delicious and goes really well with the espresso/milk below, rich but not too heavy and not too sweet, I got it iced but it's great hot too. The NOLA is made from cold brew, french chicory, agave and milk and as you guessed, also really good. The french chicory (which is a roasted & ground root) lends a slightly peppery taste and overall the NOLA has great flavor without being too heavy. Overall, you can't go wrong with any of the above choices. They also have some great looking baked goods that I haven't tried yet, but they look tasty. The workers are friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is perfect for meeting up with a friend for coffee, or getting some work done. read more

drinks? * matcha latte with oat milk and simple syrup (5/5): wow so SO GOOD. very surprised at the perfect sweetness and quality of the matcha. would say that there is no place really in the south bay for matcha- this is one of the few that can compete. the pictures don't do this matcha justice. * matcha yuzu tonic: my friend got this one, and it was so strong and refreshing. vibes? so aesthetic. love the decorations that give a pop of color to the neutral ambience. plenty of seating, but seems more like a pick up and go type of place. they also do have a parking lot for other restaurants in the same plaza, and some street parking as well. come back? YESSSSS. please I want to SOOOO bad. please let me come back every day. I would love to try their coffee as well. read more

Their light-medium beans are perfect for their yuzu espresso tonic. It's light, crisp, slightly tangy, and not too sweet. Most importantly, they're so kind!

This coffee shop is such a gem, and I'm so glad I found it. The vibe is clean, simple, and welcoming, with a cool retro-modern touch. The little details, like the orange lamp and plants on the shelves, make it feel super cozy but also really thoughtful. I've tried a lot of lattes over the years, but their "Tot Cream Latte" stands out, it's honestly next level. It's so different from anything I've had before, and that says a lot because I drink a ton of coffee. They've also got plenty of pastries to choose from, so it's easy to grab a coffee and treat to make your day. The owner is awesome, I had a chance to chat with her, and you can tell how passionate she is about coffee. She spent five years learning all about it, and it shows in every drink. There are a ton of coffee spots in the area, but this one just hits differently. I have a feeling it's going to be around for a long time. Parking is pretty easy since it's inside a plaza, though it might not jump out at you the first time. I usually swing by in the mornings, and there's always a spot. They've got a few tables inside too, so it's a nice place to sit and enjoy your coffee if you're not in a rush. What really sets this place apart is the value. The prices are so reasonable, especially for how unique and high-quality the drinks are. I find myself coming back several times a week, even though one of my other favorite coffee shops is literally just down the street. That says a lot! If you're into great coffee, friendly service, and a chill vibe, this is definitely the spot. It's easily become part of my weekly routine, and I can't recommend it enough. read more

Finally new coffee shop in Redondo Beach area with good coffee, pastry, service, space, parking!! Coffee/Pastry Tot Cream Latte (signature) -Taste of butterscotch caramel cream and epsresso blends super well. I can say it is the one of the best cream drink that I had. It is not too sweet which I love (it does not taste like those heavy creamy dessert drink) Blue's Clues (Signature) -Housemade Blueberry puree gives satisfying fruit taste that goes well with the espresso and kick of the peppermint does make this drink more special Nola (signature) -I love NOLA coffee from tot so much. This drink can replace as your daily coffee drink. Must try. Espresso Cioccolato -If you are planning on dine-in and love getting espresso, definitely recommend to try this. Or if you are new to drinking espresso, but looking for something to start, try this drink! Pastries are really good! Good amount of selection of pastries are waiting if you want something to treat yourself. Both savory and non savory pastries are available! Space -Parking : there are a lots of parkings on the ground level and also extra parking on the underground?? Already went to multiple times here but never had trouble parking! Interior/Exterior -Very aesthetic and comfortable chairs and tables provided for you to work on stuff. Also outlets available inside ! There is also patio if you want sunlight and coffe or visiting with group of people. Restroom is availalble and very clean. Water dispencer for both human and for dogs :) read more

Tot Coffee is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a cozy, welcoming vibe and the smell of freshly brewed coffee that instantly lifts your mood. The baristas are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do -- you can really taste the love and care in every cup. Their coffee is consistently excellent -- smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced -- and they have a great selection of pastries and snacks that pair perfectly with your drink. I especially appreciate how the space is thoughtfully designed; it's the ideal spot to catch up with a friend, get some work done, or just relax and enjoy a quiet moment. Tot Coffee has become my go-to spot for great coffee and even better service. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves quality coffee and a place that makes you feel like a regular from day one! read more

The most charming coffee shop nestled in Redondo Beach, and it instantly became my go-to spot! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for both catching up with friends and enjoying some quiet time alone. The coffee is exceptional--rich, flavorful, and brewed to perfection. I tried their signature latte, and it was smooth with just the right amount of milk. The pastries are fresh and delicious. What truly sets this place apart is the friendly and attentive staff. They make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in, and their passion for coffee is evident in every cup they serve. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this coffee shop is a delightful find. Highly recommend stopping by for a caffeine fix and a warm atmosphere! read more
