My goodness, this place rocks! Marcel the rock star of this shop recommended me his best seller and I went for it. The best tasting coffe I have ever had and very unique. Everyone should try this shop. It was such a pleasure to chit chat with him as he also sounds exactly like my fav actor, Will Smith, and he is so fun to talk to. Thank you, Marcel and I hope you can expand your shop to many more. 🙏

This place is 🔥 . I got “The Good Latte”: house made orange syrup with oatmilk and espresso which tastes like chocolate covered oranges 🍊🤎☕️🤩 and is probably the best and freshest latte I’ve ever had. They offer many other unique drinks like honey lavender, blueberry and peach cobbler matcha with house-made syrups. Thanks for the great service 🧡💙

The vibe is so immaculate that it wouldn't be out of place in a movie. Intentionally decorated and very cozy but plenty of room to bring your friends or a date. The owner is kind and charismatic - reminded me a lot of the hospitality you'd find in the south. He makes all the syrup flavors himself which is super fun and definitely made me want to come back to try them all. I got the peach cobbler matcha and was impressed with how much it tasted like cobbler. It wasn't coyingly sweet and the matcha was smooth. My only adjustment would be to make the matcha a little stronger to stand next to the syrup, but that's more of a personal opinion. The owner mentioned they have open mic nights and other pop up events that is highlighted on their instagram, so I'm looking forward to checking those out! P.S. there's a lot behind the building with more parking

I traveled here for only a day on the way to San Diego, but I needed coffee right away after I landed. I came here to Good Coffee because of the description and the high reviews, and I’m glad I did! I got their iced maple brown sugar latte with oat milk. Not only did it look pretty, but it was delicious. The atmosphere was nice, the man was friendly, and the service was quick on a Saturday morning. Next time I’m in this area, I plan to stop by again! The parking was not what I was used to, but I was able to find a spot nearby and walk over.

Got the peach cobbler matcha and the rosemary fig latte (both with oat milk). I will say that the matcha is crisp and smooth, the roast for coffee seems to be dark. The peach cobbler tastes like real peach and has cinnamon spice notes that bring the feel of proper crumble! Syrups are definitely homemade and I would compare the craftsmanship to Flatwhite Coffee. It was done in less than 5 minutes but done well! The drinks were not even lukewarm (proper iced!) And even though strongly flavored--it is balanced and you can taste both the matcha and coffee. Was so excited due to matcha quality from initial inspection that both drinks were immediately mixed and sipped. Ratio for both (2 different sizes) was balanced, so definitely op for the bigger size! Typical coffee and matcha shops just add more milk but not here! Owner (who's also the barista) was friendly and seemed genuine. Will come here again with friends!

Everyone who works here is SO NICE, the drinks are creative and delicious, AND they make their own syrups in house. I had to know more. This is what I learned from the owner: In May of 2024 Marcel decided to start a coffee bar in the back of his alkaline and purified water shop because he wanted something exciting, and he was always stopping on the way in to get coffee, so he decided to bring coffee into his space. He designed and built the cart out of his previous work bench as his now permanent pop-up. It became official July 2024, and he’s loved making house made syrups. I went with the Espresso Pomelo ($7.25) from their summer menu with a double shot of espresso over Italian grapefruit soda and ice, and it was the perfect balance of sweet, citrusy, and still being able to taste the coffee. For their coffee beans, they use the Montenero Blend by local roaster Caffe Luxxe. There’s plenty of free parking right on W Gardena Blvd, as well as a large parking lot in the back that you can enter from Vermont, and they have a large indoor space with two spacious rooms and a variety of seating options, from couches to benches. Their new fall menu is launching next week, so we will be sure to be back!!

Absolutely love this spot! From the moment I walked in, the vibe felt warm and inviting—cozy yet polished, with beautiful attention to detail in the décor and seating. The team here clearly knows coffee: I ordered a latte featuring their house-blend espresso and I was blown away by how smooth and rich it was. On top of that, the matcha and herbal tea selections give great variety for non-coffee drinkers too. What sets Good Coffee Co. apart is the genuine hospitality — the baristas took time to chat about what I was in the mood for, offered recommendations, and made the experience feel personal (rather than just transactional). The space is calm, clean, and perfect for sipping and catching up with a friend or getting some work done quietly. If you’re looking for a local café in Gardena where the quality is top-tier, the service is friendly, and the ambiance is relaxed yet elevated, this is it. I’m definitely coming back and recommending it to everyone I know. Thanks for such a wonderful experience! ☕️

The Vibe A funky "water store turned cafe" concept. It is unique, low-frills, and very local. The Standouts The Espresso Pomelo is a refreshing, bright surprise. The "Good Latte" is bold and creamy. Elite Tips They sell out of popular flavors like Biscoff Chai early. Call ahead if you have your heart set on a specific seasonal drink.

Great coffee, homemade syrups, and super friendly service. The vibes are just right, uniquely styled and honestly just feels like a nice place to hang with friends. Unique flavors and not overly sweet! Worth coming out of the way for! I’ll definitely be coming here when I’m in the area again.
