Coffee Cartel: Your Cozy Haven for Exquisite Coffee and Baked Delights

Stopped into Coffee Cartel for a little content + caffeine moment and let me just say—that cherry rose tea latte with oat milk was giving. Floral, creamy, and just the right amount of indulgent. My friend had a matcha latte (don’t ask me what kind—something green and gorgeous) and we both were genuinely impressed. We asked for our drinks “for here” hoping for some of those cute cups for photo ops (because, obviously)… but were handed disposables instead. Womp. Also, I had to ask twice for water and finally just handed him the pitcher—he was sweet about it, but still. That said, the vibe is classic Redondo—laid-back, surfer-adjacent, and the drinks really were that good. I’ll absolutely be back. Just give a girl a proper cup next time.

poetry nights are the best! expect a variety of acts (not just poetry) with talented locals keeping things refreshing and interesting! great sense of community and feels unique for the area, providing a safe space for all ages to be expressive

no minimum charge or limited time! nice place to chill alone, hang out with friends, and so on :) recommended!

Perfect place to study/work/social gather... Good coffee and you can hang out inside or out... Great wifi! They usually play fun music in the background. If you are in the area great place to hang!

Good local south redondo spot for coffee and working on laptop. Has an old school coffee house vibe like it’s from the 90’s, which is pretty sweet. Also, thy have open mic nights which are a throwback and are fun to see.

Awesome coffee, awesome vibes. So good. Great little spot, good wifi, not to loud, lots of places to sit. Parking is a bit hairy - lot is small, and everywhere else nearby is metered. But such a neat place. I bought a Moroccan spiced latte (spicy!) and a couple books too Such. A. Vibe.

This is such a charming little spot to get some work done. There’s a fair amount of seating, though all the best nooks are usually claimed by the early birds. My favorite hideouts are the single tables tucked between the bookshelves—perfect for a bit of quiet productivity and light literary ambience. Their coffee is solid, though the lavender latte isn’t really my cup of tea—literally. Not bad, just not for me. I’m more of a tea person anyway, and luckily, they have a surprisingly thoughtful selection. The atmosphere is cozy and calm, ideal for focused work… with a bit of casual people-watching on the side (guilty). I’ll definitely be coming back for the tea, the vibes, and the occasional mental break disguised as “observation.”

This place is located right at the beginning of the street and has a nice ambiance. The coffee is great and we enjoyed the Aussie Flat While there. The best part is that they allowed food from the neighboring Little French Bakery to be brought in and enjoyed with the coffee there. Full marks for that as they both places compliment each other. The service is good and I would definitely recommend it.
