2025.04.17 There was an order error that was handled graciously and although the order didn't land as expected, I was offered a free beverage. I went back again and was greatly pleased by the selection and quality. I'm definitely a fan and look forward to more!

First time trying this place, I got a matcha latte with banana milk and it was delish. The service was fast and great. All the pastries looked really good, we didn't get any because we were going to lunch. The ambience is nice and cozy, they have a cute outside area too. Looking forward to coming back to try other drinks and pastries.

I come here a few times a week to do homework and always find myself being able to do work here without being distracted, the workers are on top of their game at keeping the cafe look clean and presentable and are always so friendly when taking drink orders, my go to beverage here is the banana milk latte, I have yet to try their any of the pastries but am looking forward to doing it in the near future. Just a heads up there are hardly any wall plugs so keep that in mind but it's very spacious inside but there is limited seating, but I haven't found myself not being able to find somewhere to take a seat.

In the gray plaza opposite for yeems coffee, virtually no line. More parking underground. Its quite spacious with bigger seating ( not too much) and only two outlets by the wall. If they got extension cords it would probably be a better study spot. Chefs kiss to their graphic designer for making such cute menus and logo. Same items as the BP location from what I can tell. The cream cheese garlic bread smells really good. I got the sweet potato bread which is accurate to what I expected but nothing special, probably similar to the hmart. They have a lot of non coffee and matcha options/unique lattes. If you're not a coffee person I'd recommend their non coffee latte items that's located on the register area vs the screen above as their coffee has a medium roast. As a coffee lover, their coffee is roasted well (medium) with a nutty robust flavor. Making it good for a not too sweet latte. I got their iced corn latte which only came in a smaller 12oz cup vs the iced 16oz and you could upgrade size. The corn foam has a distinct corn flavor, but the coffee took away from the corn flavor making it more mild and sort of like corn to medium bitter aftertaste. I think this may be helped if there's was some sort of brown sugar syrup to it? ( like a grilled corn flavor loool), there is a splash of caramel syrup. However, if you like coffee i would recommend this place and they do have all those viral Korean breads to try. The staff was nice, the cafe was relatively quiet with students studying on the weekend so it's got good acoustics that's not too fitting for cafe chatting depending on the level of busy. Staff keeps the area clean~~

Came here for a nice lil bevvy and that is what I got This place is located in a little plaza with other small businesses. There is a lot of parking! The cafe is very open, lots of seating. There is lot of baked goods that you can pick from. Kinda like 85 degrees where you can take a tray and select. They have a wide variety to select from. I tried cream cheese garlic bread. Omg it was sooo good and very garlicy. I got it warmed it so it was even better. I also got their hojicha latte And my husband got their Spanish latte. both were so good! And made to perfection. I will definitely be coming back to try more pastries!

Initially intrigued by some of their unique bread, I made it all the way to the area to try the place out. I've been kinda missing mochi with unique fillings, which weren't that easy to find in LA. I called myself pretty lucky for literally getting the last piece of their ube mochi. It was uniquely filled with mashed sweet potato and it's delicate how the skin was so thin and moist while the filling was literally packed. For the size and price in LA, surely worthy! They did serve decent coffee and the space design despite being more like a chain-bakery-style sort of, I would say clean and convenient. Most guests seemed to be family or students coming for studying and hanging for awhile.

First time here and fell in love with the space and food! We got the iced banana milk latte, ube scone, jeju matcha latte, corn and sweet potato mochis, cinnamon honey scone. The drinks were delicious and the treats look so tasty. Good customer service and friendly staff. They made our drinks pretty fast. I recommend going early because they sell out quickly. We arrived around 2 pm and most of the pastry items were gone, but we still had plenty to choose from. Free parking in the lot and underground structure.

Parking on the ground level was packed but there is an underground garage with plenty of parking. They had a few tables with people studying at them. They have a lots of baked goods and a great selection of drinks. I got the strawberry matcha and it was smooth, rich, and refreshing. The sweetness of the strawberry balanced the earthy matcha flavor. The guys at the counter were nice and quick to make the drink.

One of my favorite coffee + pastry chain in socal Smoking Tiger opened quite a few more locations throughout SoCal since our last visit in December 2023. This location in Gardena is in a small plaza. The self-serve pastry bar has many offerings and a whole side counter of cookies. Inside is very spacious with many tables and seats. Would be perfectttt for working/studying or just hanging out with your folks here. Our go-to are the corn latte and vanilla latte with oat milk. They do not disappoint. I really enjoyed the corn mochi. The coffee salt bread and almond croissant were a bit drier than expected. 4.7 stars

This place is just too good. Been coming here for a while, everything from their tea, regular lattes to even the seasonal are amazing. Their pastries are over the top as well, they don't always look or sound over the top but the taste is amazing. There's lots of seating for working or just hanging out. Staff is always helpful and very attentive. Would highly recommend.
