"I enjoy exploring and café hopping, so I was happy to come across this coffee shop not far from Cerritos ☕🌿 The café has a cozy and welcoming feel, and the customer service was great from the start. The staff clearly knows what they’re doing, and there’s a good variety of options, which makes ordering easy. 🍵✨ I ordered a ceremonial matcha, and Rachel was especially helpful. She did an excellent job preparing it—the taste, texture, and balance were spot on. It was exactly what I was hoping for. I’m really glad I found this place. There’s plenty of seating, making it a nice spot for studying, working, or just enjoying some quiet time. On a relaxed Sunday, all I wanted was a good matcha or coffee, and this place delivered. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to 💚"

"Really enjoyed the very laidback old-school college-town coffee-shop vibes and the college age staff who were very kind to a man walking-in-off-the-street, into a café full of most 20 something young ladies. That's why I didn't hesitate to pay $6.50 off their Premium Signature Menu for a Mate Latte (Espresso + milk + enalish toffee + house cream + biscoff crumble). The service was excellent, and my second purchase was rewarded with a tip reflecting it, as I saw how well they treated their other customers."

"PSA because a new café just opened up in LA County and it’s too good not to share 😭✨ Mate Coffee in Hawaiian Gardens is officially my new spot. The inside is super spacious but still cozy, with plenty of seating, WiFi, and free parking (a win already). I tried the hojicha latte with the hojicha cream top AND the Wimbledon melon latte — both were so good and crafted with so much care. The flavors are unique but balanced, and they paired perfectly with the pastries. You can really tell they put intention into everything they serve. They also offer afternoon tea sets with snacks and teas, which is such a cute touch if you’re trying to chill, study, or catch up with a friend. And if you’re reading this in time, save the date because tomorrow (Friday, Dec 5) is their grand opening with BOGO specials all day 😭🫶 Hawaiian Gardens finally has a café worth gatekeeping… but I won’t. Definitely check them out!"

"Mate Coffee Bar is such a great local spot. The shop feels cozy and welcoming, and it’s an easy place to relax, work, or meet up with friends. I’ve tried a few drinks here and everything has been consistently good — especially the lattes and matcha. You can tell they care about quality and presentation. The staff are always friendly and helpful, which really adds to the experience. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area! ☕️"

"New coffee shop in the town! I love the atmosphere of the coffee shop and the hospitality of the baristas 😊 And my to-go coffee is wimbledon melon latte. It has a unique coffee favor with the sweetness. I would definitely come back!"
