Coffee Cartel

A redondo beach staple! Quirky fun coffee shop with affordable amazing drinks. This isn’t your insta influencer aesthetic place, but the cool people and amazing vibes make it an even better place to be.

Favorite coffee shop! Great coffee options, simple treats, cool folks working behind the counter. Eclectic place that has live music occasionally, tons of books available to read, and board games! Bring cash if you're only getting a coffee - there's an extra charge for <$5. Also have to pay for parking most of the time (coins or card)

Have some coffee then go next door for gelato or pastry. Great gelato. Eclairs look fantastic.

I was in town for a couple days and both times I stopped by I had a great experience. The staff was super nice and helpful (even when dealing with obnoxious customers). I had some of their caffeinated teas (the rooibos and some vanilla) but they made them iced for me. My favorite place in Redondo so far!

The hours are wrong on Google. Wouldn't have been a problem, but when we went by around 7:15 (Google says they're open until 8), the guy closing up was sarcastic and rude when we asked to confirm they were open. A simple no would've sufficed. Feel unwelcome - at any time.

This is a cool place, and very spacious, with lots of comfy chairs and couches, and plenty of table space to set your coffee or tea drinks on. There are little alcoves that make you feel like you are in a small sitting room or den, which is really unique and nice for spending quiet time alone or with another person. I thought this place used to be called Catalina Coffee, though. It probably is the same locale, under a different name. But please correct me if I'm wrong! Thank you!

Best thing about this place is how late it's open! Great for a late night chat or work spot on the quiet streets of Riviera Village. The coffee is decent, the pastries look scary. The crowd is mixed. They have cool things like open mic nights. My chai latte was surprisingly good.

I've been going to this coffee shop for 20 years. It's got an authentic 'Mom and Pop' feel to it. Very homey, inviting and inspiring. A great place to make friends, read, write, or perform at their open mic poetry event on Tuesday nights.

Very nice place with fantastic oatmilk latte...also the 2 wonderful ladies that work there have fantastic customer service. My toddler knocked off a shelf with some stuff and they were so nice about it. Usually, its quite a momement for the parents:), they made it not emberrasing for us. You should definately pass by for some tasty coffee and yammy pastries.

Just came here a few days ago for the first time and I have to say I really liked it. Its got a nice laid back feel and the coffee is really good. They have a couple different areas to sit.. some with couches, theres a chess table, outdoor seating area and a couple small tables up front. Theres a lot of fun stuff to look around at.. I was with a group so I didnt look much around but I did notice it. They also have a variety of really good pastries and bagels as well as very friendly staff :) would absolutely come again.
