LA’s New Restaurant Openings

"One of Koreatown’s most popular cafes has expanded to the South Bay, with cream-topped Vienna lattes (which look like fancy milkshakes) and a new bright-purple ube buttercream latte. This location looks to have more tables than the original, but if the lines are anything similar, it’d probably still work best as a pick-up spot." - cathy park

Tried the Vienna Latte and the Buttercream Latte, both were delicious!!! A little on the sweeter side. I did not try any food this time, but they had pastries available. The line was long, but my order came out quickly. The staff was kind and efficient. I would definitely crave this again! $7 per latte (alt milk) before taxes.

Yeems Coffee is a gem! The iced Vienna latte was incredible. It is the perfect mix of coffee and sweet, fluffy cream on top. I also tried the almond Danish and plain croissant, and both were fresh, buttery, and absolutely delicious. It’s a popular spot, so there can be a bit of a wait, but the cozy location and great quality make it totally worth it. Great vibe, amazing coffee, and pastries.

Went here on a Saturday morning before heading to the beach and there was a line wrapping outside the building. I do not recall how long we waited outside in line, but once we ordered inside, we got our drinks in less than ten minutes. I do not live near the area, but this place seems more of a grab and go than a Starbucks where you can take your laptop and do homework/work. The staff was ok. The Vienna latte was good and creamy. I did not really like the ube buttercream.

I tried the Ube Buttercream Latte at Yeems Coffee in Gardena, and it totally lived up to the hype. The flavor is rich and smooth with that signature earthy ube taste, but the buttercream adds this sweet, almost dessert-like finish. It’s definitely a treat drink, not something I’d grab every day. But for when I want something different and indulgent, it hits the spot. The latte is on the pricier side ($7), so it’s a bit of a splurge, but the quality and flavor made it worth it for me. The shop itself has a cozy vibe, great for relaxing or catching up with a friend. If you’re into unique coffee flavors or just love ube, I’d say give it a try.

Gardena Location's Opening Hours: Monday - Saturday 7am to 2:30pm Sunday 8am to 2:30pm DRINKS 4/5 I had the Vienna Matcha, the Vienna cream is the biggest difference on "why" its so delish. - TINY DISAPPOINTMENT - The matcha wasn't made fresh it was pre-made in a container. Vienna Matcha is bold in flavor as the drink is crafted to satisfy matcha lovers with its creamy richness. Sweetened with Agave and topped off with our house-made drizzle for an extra layer of matcha! Would love to try their buttercream or strawberry matcha. PARKING 5/5 Easy parking within shopping complex or on W 154th place. CUSTOMER SERVICE 4/5 No issues from a grab-n-go type service

Sooooo creamy, smooth finish, not too sweet, decadent and very satisfying. Their Buttercream latte is exceptional. I enjoyed my drink thoroughly. Son loved his Americano. Parking is cramped and spaces are compact. Spot stays bustling with activity but don't miss out. I will be a repeat customer. My only critique is they should have bigger sizes. I wanted MORE.

What a hit! Finally got around to trying something close by and I was not disappointed. Yeems is located in a little plaza with a lot of parking. The place is very small and the line gets so big it goes out the door! For me it felt like it went by fast , 5-10 minutes. (Went on a Saturday). The choices they have are simple but plentiful for any coffee enjoyer. I went with the butterscotch cream latte as I like sweet. I know it’s a good latte when I don’t even taste any coffee, and the flavors are the main stars of the show. Definitely worth trying, just know it’s best on the go as seating is hard to come by.

This spot just open, the line wait is pretty busy. We ordered 5 drinks in total and waited under 5 mins. The cashier was super helpful and nice. She recommended the Vienna Latte 10/10. Thank you again. My favorites so far Vienna Latte and Buttercream latte, 2 favorites so far under specialty drinks. Will be coming back and highly recommended for the outstanding service. Thank you.

This summer I am rating coffee shops, roasters and cafes as i travel throughout California. Yeems is a great community coffee shop in Gardena that's worth exiting the freeway and trying out. They have a decent assortment of pastries but where they shine is their coffee. the Ube Butterscotch Latte is the thing of memories. I can tell you the only downside is the size of the drink this you might need a second one.

The Divine Awakening at Yeems Coffee Gardens The café doors burst open as I stepped into what could only be described as a culinary battlefield disguised as a serene garden oasis. The aroma alone was enough to make my taste buds tremble with anticipation! The Iced Vienna Latte - A Symphony of Frozen Ecstasy! "Impossible!" I gasped as the barista placed the magnificent creation before me. The layers of espresso and milk swirled together like a caffeinated tornado, topped with a crown of whipped cream that seemed to defy gravity itself! The first sip sent shockwaves through my very soul! The bold Austrian-style coffee crashed against my palate like a tidal wave of pure awakening, while the icy temperature created a thrilling contrast that made my entire body shiver with delight. The whipped cream melted slowly, creating creamy clouds that danced across my tongue in perfect harmony with the robust espresso below. "This... this is the true power of Vienna!" I declared, my eyes sparkling with tears of joy as the caffeine coursed through my veins like liquid lightning! The Strawberry Matcha Tea - A Forbidden Fusion of Eastern Mysticism! But wait! The ultimate challenge awaited! Before me materialized a drink that seemed to glow with an otherworldly pink-green aura - the legendary Strawberry Matcha Tea! One taste and reality itself began to warp! The earthy, ceremonial matcha powder erupted with ancient wisdom, its bitter complexity immediately balanced by the sweet, innocent burst of fresh strawberries. It was as if spring itself had been captured in liquid form! The matcha's grassy notes intertwined with the strawberry's fruity sweetness in a dance so perfect, so harmonious, that cherry blossoms began falling from the ceiling (or was that just my imagination overwhelmed by flavor?!). "Incredible! The balance is absolutely divine!" I shouted, my hair somehow flowing dramatically in a non-existent breeze. "This isn't just a drink - it's a meditation on the very essence of nature itself!" The Verdict Yeems Coffee Gardens has achieved something truly extraordinary - a culinary experience that transcends the mundane world of ordinary beverages. Both drinks showcase masterful technique and an understanding of flavor profiles that would make even the most seasoned taste warriors weep with admiration. The Vienna Latte delivers classic European sophistication with modern iced perfection, while the Strawberry Matcha Tea represents innovation at its finest - a east-meets-west fusion that shouldn't work but absolutely, magnificently does! Rating: - A true feast for the gods! "I shall return to this sacred garden of liquid artistry!"

If you get the butter cream, get the creamtop .... Don't drink right away , Let it sit for a few minutes the flavors can marry cause baaaaybbbeeeeeeeeee when it hits it hits The strawberry matcha also was good! Perfect combination to share , so Bring a friend so you can try more than just one flavor Not as big as the location it was before , but they do have some seating and it's a quick tune over place so you can sit down in a few minutes

Vienna Latte - cream top girlie here. This is about my most favorite iced latte near me. Do yourself a favor and do not mix the cream and latte together, unless you want it to taste like a milkshake. I usually ditch the straw and personally prefer to just drink the latte from the cup with a little bit of cream with each sip. my bf has tried the ube buttercream latte and the strawberry matcha. He said both were good. Line is usually out the door but wait time is about 10 minutes after ordering. Nothing special about ambiance, the seats are usually filled so you have to stand around to wait for your drink(s).

I was convinced by my neighbor to try this place again, so I did. And I have updated my score to a 4 :) I got the matcha Vienna latte and it tasted much better if you stir the cream into the drink.

Excellent customer service. Get here early if you need to be somewhere. Waiting in line seems to be the only reason it takes long to get your drink. Other than that, the second you place your coffee order it usually takes about 5-6 min. to get your drink. This place is a good place to get in and out. I don't find it esthetically pleasing to the eye in terms of wanting to stay there at a table for catching up on anything in life. This place seems to be very busy as it has been the last 3x I've been here. Not exactly a place to sit down and do homework. Drinks are solid. Customer service is great. Sitting down at a table enjoying the coffee...not really the place, in my opinion.

Went on a weekday around 1:45pm; there was a line and it was pretty busy inside! It moved reasonably and my drink was out in under 10 minutes. I got the Vienna matcha, which is one of their more popular drinks! The matcha was good, but nothing outstanding. More on the bitter side, which I liked. The sweetness came from the cream top, which I also liked! It added a nice sweetness and creaminess to balance the matcha latte by itself. Glad I got to try and I did like it but probably not something I'd crave.

Solid coffee spot! I've visited both the Ktown and this location several times, and I've always enjoyed my drinks. I've tried the Vienna latte and Vienna matcha latte, which are lattes with cream on top. They run a bit too sweet for my liking, but are perfect for people who like sweeter drinks. This location has lots of seating and parking! Service is always friendly, and the pastries are great too.

My sister picked up coffee for us at Yeems. I ordered an Americano with no ice to be enjoyed the next day. It's strong and I diluted it a bit, so that's good. My sister got the Vienna and matcha lattes and she thought it was good and well worth the trip. Overall a solid coffee shop. Casual. Please come and create your own adventure.

Honestly, I was sold on trying this chain as soon as I saw photos of the Ube buttercream latte. I walked in, quickly ordered it, and received it within a few minutes. It was as delicious and delectable as expected. Completely worth the visit! From the multiple times I've gone, the baristas are so sweet and welcoming! I've never really had to wait long to order or to wait for my drink. They may be busy, but they are quite fast and efficient! Some times I'll just take my order and go, but other times seating is available and I'll work from the cafe for a bit. They don't have a lot of seating, but it's great for smaller parties, and groups of 2-4 people. I recently had their matcha scone and iced matcha strawberry latte. The matcha scone was fantastic! Just a perfectly crumbly scone with delicious matcha icing. The matcha strawberry latte was okay. I could definitely tell the matcha was pre-made, but it was still good overall. Would rather go somewhere else for matcha and stick to coffee here. The Ube buttercream latte is absolutely worth it!

Yeems is overhyped. The strawberry matcha was tasty, however I've had better. I came here bc a friend told me they had a strong matcha flavor. I was expecting something more bold. For not delivering the bold flavors I think it's overpriced as well. You can't find the price for alternative milks anywhere on the menu. I believe I had an up charge of $1 for oat milk. They only have one size, and they left a good amount of room in my cup. For $8, I'd like more of a drink. I came back a second time to try the Dulce de leche latte and same thing, just hella room in my cup, as if someone had a swallow of it before it was handed to me. I thought it might only be for matchas since that's what's they're known for, but it seems like all drinks. I wish they had a rewards system as well. If I'm going to pay so much at least make it worth it to be a loyal customer.

I saw this spot opening next to me and was curious to check them out, but unfortunately the only times I can check them out is on the weekends and there's always a line for this place! You know there's something cookin' when there's a line! Everytime I come here I always don't know what to get but I always end up getting the same drink haha ube buttercream latte, Vienna latte, or the Vienna matcha. The cream makes it their signature of the business. They do make pretty good matcha and their ube doesn't taste artificial. I will definitely come back for their beans!

I was working in Gardena and needed coffee, STAT! Yelp search brought me here and I was familiar with the plaza and was glad to see they had a coffee spot. Parked in front of the store and the parking was already a bit full out front. I came here around 11:30 and it was busy! There was a crowd of people waiting for their order and receipts all over the counter so I anticipated waiting for my order for a while I counted 6 people working behind the counter and with no drive-thru and in the smallest space. Luckily my drink was ready within 7 minutes despite the crowd and long line growing outside the store. I got the dulce de leche iced coffee and it was very good. I could taste the flavors of the coffee without any bitterness and the cream or cold foam was a nice balance. DEFINITELY coming back in the future as it's my go-to coffee spot in Gardena now.

Very cool drinks and aesthetics, the cream was super yummy and not that sweet so you know that Asian had to praise it. Honestly drinks were really well made so I understand why it's a lil pricey. Also super popular cuz line went out the door it was crazy. Torotea flashbacks.

For a newer coffee shop it is doing great! Absolutely love the ube latte! It is definitely the star of the show and a must try. I love that it is right around the corner from me. The line is usually wrapped around the corner. I hate how they close so early at 2:30pm. Ambiance is nice but I think since it's new they're still working out the kinks. The first time I was there the plants inside were dead and the worker didn't give the person in front of me their croissant when they payed and ended up having to give them a refund bc they sold theirs (which was the last one) to another customer. Matcha is ok. Will definitely be back.

Ordered the Vienna Latte (4.5/5, a little sweet) and Vienna Matcha (5/5), along with the ham and cheese croissant (5/5). Customer service was very nice! Cashier entered my drink wrong, but the baristas were happy to remake it. Went on a Saturday morning and the line was long the entire time! There are about 5 tables inside. Knocking off a star because they ran out of a lot pastries early on in the day.

This spot has a long line all the time but it goes by quick! Their service is very fast and consistent, which is nice. Now onto the coffee & matcha! If you are looking for your traditional Japanese style matcha, this is not the spot for you. If you're looking for a strong, sweet and tasty matcha or coffee, then you've come to the right spot. My go to here is the Vienna matcha; imagine a strong matcha base topped with a sweet cream top. If you'd like it extra sweet, you can add syrup. I usually opt out because I'm more of a typical Asian "sweet but not too sweet" fan. I have also tried their buttercream ube latte with Vienna added on top. This was delicious! Imagine a strong coffee base (as strong as Vietnamese coffee) sweetened with a hint of ube and cream top. You can still taste the boldness of the coffee and the sweetness of the ube. It's delicious! But very dehydrating lol

Im a big fan of the Yeems in KTown so I was excited to try this location which happens to be a lot closer. Came on a busy Sunday morning and got in line that wrapped around the side of the building. Luckily it went by quick! I ordered my usual which is the Vienna latte, I hate to say it but it just didn't taste the same as the Ktown location. I'm hoping to try again to see if maybe it was made too rushed and it will taste better next time.

Yeems is my favorite spot for early coffee. Around the area, there isn't many nice coffee shops that are open early. My favorite items is their famous Vienna Latte (you can get hot or ice), but if you want something less sweet, you can get the Vienna Black instead. Their coffee is really tasty and you can even buy the beans yourself to brew at home. This place is always packed, yet the staff are pretty quick so the line goes quick

Yeems is a new coffee shop in Gardena and I love it! This location is in a plaza with a lot of other restaurants and the parking isn't terrible. It can get pretty crowded with a long line that goes out the door on to the side walk. There are a few tables inside but it's not the biggest for a coffee shop. I will say the service is really fast! They usually have a good amount of people behind the counter so the drinks don't take too long after being ordered. You can also order online (through their website) most days! I think it is closed on the weekend mornings. I have tried the Vienna matcha, Vienna latte, and cold brew latte and all are great! The Vienna matcha comes sweetened and mixed with the einspänner is super creamy and has a good matcha flavor. The Vienna latte is a regular latte with their einspänner cream, definitely not on the sweet side but very creamy and sweet enough for my liking. The cold brew latte is also really good and is a little sweet. I would recommend all those drinks to try!

I came at around ~12 on Easter Sunday and the line was out the door! Luckily, the line moved quickly and my drink came out super fast. The interior was sparsely decorated and there were around 4-5 tables. However, there were a ton of plugs around, so I would definitely study here! I got a Vienna Matcha Latte for ~7.50$. Definitely pricey, but I could tell they used quality milk and matcha. It was a little too sweet for my taste, so next time I would get it less sweet. It was pretty good, but something I'd only visit if I was in the area. I prefer this location over the Ktown location because it's a free parking lot which is...almost impossible to find in LA.

3-1/2 stars for friendly service. Having tried the OG Yeems in K-Town, I was interested in trying the newer location in Gardena. I popped in after lunch, and luckily, there wasn't a huge line; by the time I ordered and paid, the line started forming and wrapping around the corner. I ordered the vienna matcha, which was beautifully presented. Unfortunately, the taste was a bit lackluster; even though I mixed it, I wish the matcha could've been stronger, as the oat milk and cream top overpowered everything. Perhaps it was my milk of choice, but any case, the matcha could've shone through more. Overall, staff and baristas were super nice and friendly, despite rush hour. Sadly, the vienna matcha fell flat, and I think I'd prefer K-Town's location more.

I was pleasantly surprised by Yeems coffee. I personally dislike coffee because my body is weird and it goes into automatic crash mode right after drinking coffee. Most of the time I tend to avoid drinking it, but out of curiosity, I decided to try Yeems due to the fact that they always seem to have lots of customers every time I pass by. I was super happy to realize that their coffee did not give me that automatic crash feeling I get when I drink specifically coffee. Hot buttercream latte: 10/10 If you guys have ever been to Universal and have tried and liked their Butter beer then you will love this buttercream latte from Yeems. It taste like a milder version of butter beer. Cold Homemade Vanilla Latte: 8/10 The homemade vanilla really shines in this latte! According to my boyfriend, it tastes pretty similar to Starbucks's iced vanilla shaken espresso but the vanilla Yeems used is superior. Tips: Parking lot is fairly small. What we loved about Yeems was they offered non-dairy options as my boyfriend is lactose intolerant. Ambience of the café was clean, neat and simple. Not much room inside they had about three tables to sit at and two areas that were more of low coffee tables with seating. Overall: Would I come again? If I I am in the area, it's a definite yes for me!

Gave Yeems another shot and tried coming on a Sunday morning around 10am this time. Line wasn't long at all and didn't extend outside the doors. Got the ube buttercream latte with oat milk, and it's amazingly delicious! I'm trying hard not to chug it like I usually do with coffee so I can really savor it.

I had a fantastic experience! The service was great--everyone was friendly and very efficient. The customer service was truly exceptional, especially the cashier who was incredibly helpful. I appreciated her asking what type of milk I preferred for my drinks, as most places don't offer that unless you specifically request it. The drinks were absolutely delicious! The sweet foam on top was delightful, and it's probably one of the best Matchas I've ever had. My sister ordered the Vienna latte, which was also really good, though it was a bit strong for my taste. Plus, the drinks were beautifully presented, and we received them quickly! The menu does seem small and it looked like there was only one size for the drinks. But I don't mind it. The location was very clean and had a more relaxed modern vibe to it. Parking is convenient since it's located in a small plaza. The inside can get a bit busy at times, with only about four tables available, but I can see why it's such a popular spot! I will definitely be back!

I was visiting from TX this week and looking for a place to grab a coffee and do some work. I walked in and it was pretty bare on the inside - simple in aesthetics, but a ton of people working. I was so confused. I got myself the Vienna Latte and sat down to do some work. Before I knew it, there was a line, OUTSIDE the building. WHAT?? Why is everyone in line for some coffee?? Well I know why. That Vienna Latte with oat milk is fire. Absolutely delicious. It was $7, which for a one-sized latte is pretty expensive to me and I do wish it had a little bit more of an espresso flavor, but overall one of the best lattes I had while in LA (top 2). But I came back one more time the day I was flying out and got the same thing again. It was again, really delicious. There was a guy pacing around on the phone and I don't know if he was the manager, but I saw him working the other day when I was in there working. Here is how I judged it. Even though he was on the phone, he made eye contact with me and smiled. As a Texan, I appreciate the hospitality and the warmth and it made me want to support the business more. So would I pay for a $7 latte daily? No. But will I want to support a business like this with a $7 latte, each time I come to LA? Yes.

Came here on a Sunday around 2pm. There was a line of maybe 7 people ahead of me. I waited about 10 mins to order and another 8 mins to get my drinks. I ordered the Vienna matcha latte and a matcha latte unsweetened. The cashier asked me if I was sure I wanted it unsweetened bc it can be pretty bitter. Hm, interesting. I'm very familiar with matcha and do prefer it unsweetened so I can actually taste the matcha and judge the matcha's quality so I told her I was sure. I also got the Vienna matcha bc everyone on yelp was raving about it. I didn't make any adjustments because I did want to try it how it's supposed to be. The Vienna matcha was good, but def too sweet for my liking. The cream foam was thick and delicious though. Next time I prob would ask for 50% sweetness. The matcha latte was pretty standard. I didn't find it bitter, maybe slightly but that's just how matcha is. I would say this makes my top three favorite matcha places in LA, but the list of places for me to try is pretty long still. Welcome to the South Bay, Yeems!

They are cashless and the parking lot is cramped and they stay BUSY. Do not let this stop you! I ordered the buttercream latte with Vienna cream on top. It is soooo smooth, creamy, decadent and not too sweet. Omg!!!!! Delicious!!!!! My son liked his Americano as well. Will definitely be back! My drink is phenomenal!

One of the trendiest coffee shops in the South Bay. There other location is from Ktown so many people wanted to see what the buzz was about, me included! The wait has died down now that everyone has had a chance to get their coffee so my wait time was around 10 minutes. They are known for their "Vienna Series" or sweetened cream on top of their drinks. My first time I was not a fan, as I felt that it was too sweet even for a latte. But my second time back the cashier was more than helpful in helping me customize my drink (I went less sweet and less cream). And the coffee was definitely a lot better for me! Their matcha is really good especially their Strawberry Matcha. Staff is super friendly, tons of parking available, and this location provides a nice seating area to converse and hang out with friends! IG: Lovingyourtaste

I used to go to the one in LA and I was so happy when they opened this location. My go to order was an iced Vienna latte and it was delicious, creamy and just oh, so good! However, I've been trying to swap matcha for coffee and the matcha is just ok. I've tried the strawberry matcha and Vienna matcha and both were just mediocre. If you want to wait in a line that's out the door, come on the weekend. Otherwise, if you come during the week and it's fairly early, you can just walk right in. The parking lot can get full, but again, if you come early that won't be an issue. But I have come here when it was full and it's def not an ideal parking lot because I find some of the spaces to be really tight. Service was great. Very friendly... I just wasn't really impressed with the drinks I've gotten lately.

Thursday morning around 8am and it was really busy, but drinks came out fast. I feel like because of the busyness and layout, it's not really much of a place to take out your laptop and work. This place could still work as a coffee catch up with another person or two. Vienna Latte is really good, not as sweet as I thought. Their croissants are flaky and soft too.

I use to live very close to the yeems in Ktown and was so excited when they opened up in the south bay area! I've been coming to yeems way before they even had any branding on their cups or a logo. The Vienna cream is always delicious. The matcha itself isn't as strong as the ktown one or like it used to be but it was still good. I don't know how often I'd visit since it is $8 per latte and the matcha isn't strong, but it's a nice treat. The space is significantly larger than the ktown one but it's quite busy, so it may be difficult to get a table if you're looking to study. The opened mobile ordering is very nice as well.

2/18/2025 Second time coming here. Came in on a Tuesday after 1:35pm and with less than an hour left, people were still coming in, lines were forming. In addition to the lines, people standing by waiting their orders too. So it was getting crowded. Parking was not bad at that hour though. Many open spots. VIENNA LATTE Creamy and sweet cream with espresso. No bitterness of the coffee at the end. Very clean flavor. The cream top is light and not overwhipped. Some of the cream top coffees I've had in other shops leave a weird, filmy aftertaste, but this was done very well! ICED STRAWBERRY MATCHA LATTE As a matcha lover, this was delicious! Good quality matcha! The Nekohama Ceremonial Grade Matcha was a clean, sweet, floral flavor with no bitterness. The strawberry milk was light, but the matcha did not overpower the strawberry milk. It complemented each other so well! This reminded me of a good summery drink on a hot day. It was refreshing! CUSTOMER SERVICE Very chill and friendly service. The person at the front had a lovely, friendly demeanor inspite of the long line forming in front of her. She was taking all the orders by herself too! The baristas were working in an open kitchen. So you see everyone in action. All the baristas were side-by-side cranking out all the drinks one by one! Impressive! ONLINE ORDERING Online ordering is available on their website. If there's no available timeslot for pickup, then that means there's no more space for online orders for that day. Haven't used their online ordering system, but if I lived or worked in Gardena, I'd probably order online and save some time. HOURS Still in the soft opening phase and is open until 2:30pm daily. Hope they will extend hours soon! The only thing I ask is that if and when they do extend their hours, that the quality of their drinks will not fall. Eventually, I'm gonna work my way through their coffee & tea menu and try it all!

I stopped by to grab a drink the other day while I was in the area for work. The shop was clean and and just recently opened. There was a decent line but it moved fairly quickly and they were well-staffed and bringing drinks out pretty fast. There's a decent amount of seating for studying/doing work and I saw all of the tables occupied. I got the ube buttercream latte and it was very creamy and not too sweet which sort of surprised me. I was hoping for a little more ube flavor but I otherwise enjoyed my drink. I also got the kouign amann on the side and it was delicious and warmed up. One of the better ones that I've had at a coffee shop. When I'm in the area again, I'll try their matcha drinks and other pastries, those also looked appealing. Parking was also easy to find as there are plenty of spots in the parking lot.

I was in the area and wanted matcha and this place popped up on Yelp. Parking was easy as they have a lot, the line was a bit of a wait but goes by fast. I ordered the matcha einspanner and it was pretty good. I prefer Airoma's matcha einspanner but this place did the trick.

New Coffee Alert* Found out about Yeems Coffee through Yelp! Noticed their original location was in k-town and it had very high reviews. Knew I had to check it out asap. Located in a plaza across the street from Tozai Plaza, parking was easy and accessible. It's a few doors down from Yukdaejong. The line was out the door and around the corner. Came during their soft opening, so we thought it would take a while, but to our surprise it only took 15 minutres. We had their specialty, most popular drink which is their Vienna Coffee. It's definitely a 5/5 fun coffee. Strong espresso flavor topped with heavy cream/foam and cacao powder. I suggest drinking it without a straw so you get a bit of the drink and whipped topping in every sip. It's very unique and different than other coffee drinks I've tasted. Give it a try if you're in the area! Don't be intimidated by the line, it moves fast!

Yeems Coffee has been on my hit list for so long and I finally got to try it. I didn't realize they had this location so I jumped at the chance to go! Service was okay but the ambiance of the shop is nice. There was minimal decor and a few tables. I ordered the Vienna Matcha and I thought it was very mediocre. The matcha was drowned out by the sweet cream and milk. It was milk with a side of matcha for color. I would not recommend this to my fellow matcha lovers. Although this drink wasn't great, I heard the Vienna Latte is what people mainly come for. I found out from another customer after I already ordered.

I am always looking for new coffee places to try or hang out. I was browsing and came across that Yeems is opening in Gardena. So glad they did because they're not too far from work and they open at 7am! I treated myself a few times already and have tried their Ube latte, it was good not too sweet or not too bitter. The Ube was light and wasn't too overwhelming. I finished my latte in less than 10 minutes. The Buttercream latte was just as good a lightly sweeter especially compared to their most poplar Vienna latte. The Vienna latte is not sweeten but if mixed with their Cream on top, it balances out perfectly. Overall I don't have a favorite, I do love all 3 of their drinks I tried. However I wish the sizes were larger because I always end up finishing within a few miles down the road.

YAY I'm so happy Yeems opened up in the South Bay!! I've been to the one in ktown a few times, and the drinks are the same quality here, which is great! We came on a Saturday morning around 8:30 AM, expecting a huge line since they just opened, but there was no line. They did have a lot of workers so I'm sure the service is quick even if there were a line. We got their Vienna Latte and Vienna Matcha, and both were just as good as I remember! Their drinks are great, and the cream on top adds a nice sweetness. It is a slightly thicker cream, so it was a little more difficult to get a nice balance when drinking since the cream would sort of clump together at the top. But either way, both drinks were so good! The coffee shop is located in a small plaza with plenty of free parking. There's lots of small tables inside if you want to work, study, or hang out with friends. Fast service and amazing drinks!

I was there for their soft opening and the line was going out the door. But they move fast and drinks come out rather fast (maybe waited less than 10 mins for ours). I got their matcha latte ($6) 25% sweet and honestly wasn't too impressed by it. I think it's because it needed more sugar. I don't think they use sweetened powder which is a plus! And the drink was a nice shade of green, so they don't skimp on the amount they use! What was really good was their Mocha Latte ($5.75). It wasn't too sweet, chocolatey, and wasn't too hot (which is a great thing when sipping coffee). There aren't many seating options inside, just FYI. And the seats they do have are kind of close to the cash register - there's really not a lot of room. I think this is a grab and go type of place.

Very excited to have Yeems Coffee in Gardena! Glad it's already drawn a crowd for only being open for a couple weeks. There can be a pretty big line but don't be intimidated, they move pretty quickly. I usually order the Vienna matcha or the Vienna latte! I think they are their most popular drink options. I still have to try their baked goods, but they do sell out quickly. They do have a pretty small shop, with about 4-5 tables. May be tough to grab a seat or to work. There is plenty of parking, I'll definitely will be back!

FINALLY SOME LOCAL GOURMET COFFEE I feel like gardena/ carson lacks these types of coffee locations. I swear they just started popping up but a majority of them are still in fountain valley, garden grove. It's all about the Vienna foam. We got Vienna lattes and Vienna matcha. It's an airy and light cream on top of the coffee itself. I thought it was good. Don't tell me how much sugar is in it, but i was ready for a second drink right after finishing. Line was long but went quick. Parking is tough but there's a residential area nearby and I just got lucky.

Didn't even realize we came to Yeems during their soft opening but so glad we did ! It was a bit busy, but worth it once we hit our drinks. We ordered the Vienna Latte + the Vienna Latte. I liked the Vienna Latte better -- strong expresso flavor and the cream was THICC! It was creamy + sweet and I was impressed as a coffee connoisseur. The Vienna Matcha was not as good in my opinion. The matcha taste wasn't so strong -- definitely had a grassy aftertaste. I'd come back for the Vienna latte ... but not matcha.

It is so nice to see Yeems now in Gardena. I loved their drinks and would recommend as a place for quick stop. The service was good and the workers seemed to work efficiently as their line moved fast. They do have a small indoor seating. I'd recommend this place! Plan accordingly as the parking lot can fill so quick. They are neighboring other restaurants and retail stores.

This is my first time trying yeems coffee! I first seen it in ktown and it was always super busy. So when I saw it open down the street from me I knew it was a sign and I had to try it. I went around 12 and the line was out the door, not one seat available. The line went by really quickly as the workers were getting out the orders fast and efficiently. Maybe 10 mins after I ordered our drinks came out. Every single drink was amazing!!! That whip cream? Frosting? Cold foam? DELISH!! When you fully mix it, it gives the drink such a sweet and creamy texture and flavor. One thing I was like eh was that it's only card but it's okay! Other than that this place is amazing and I'm def coming back :)
