Café Pruvia is the best! I've tried tons of different cafés/boba shops in the Gardena area -- there there are at least three competitors in the plaza that Pruvia resides in alone. Even still, since they opened, I'll go back to them every single time -- and we do go back, every single Sunday!
Their menu is smaller than a typical boba place (it is a café after all!), but everything I've sampled has been delicious. Pruvia uses high quality coffees and teas alongside premium Monin syrups to create a truly sublime beverage experience -- no matter what you order. Their matcha lattes are delicious -- not bitter or vegetal like some can be (when the matcha itself is not as good), and not overly sweet either. Their floral coffee lattes are perfect -- the lavender has a subtle aroma that comes in on the tail end of the coffee flavor, and the rose latte packs a stronger (though not overbearing or perfumey!) floral punch for those who want it. Their coconut latte is by far the best -- if you get anything here, please have it be that. You won't regret it! And if you want to add boba, PLEASE do - theirs is sweet, chewy, and cooked to perfection. :) But honestly, whatever you order, don't worry; Café Pruvia will impress.
This little café opened shortly after the pandemic really took hold, and they have been great about COVID safety precautions. Only one person at a time is allowed inside to order at a small plexiglass window, and you exit after ordering to retrieve your drinks outside. The interior is truly gorgeous, too, and I can't wait to support them by dining in once the pandemic is over.
Thanks, Café Pruvia! And I'll seeya...
   Read moreI've been going to Café Pruvia for like a month or two with my sisters and this place is dope! Compared to the other tea places nearby they're relatively new but they come in with full force!
If you like Sweet Rice's Thai Tea, then you'll definitely enjoy Cafe Pruvia's. It's a perfect balance between the tea itself and the milk and sugar. It's not too sweet but it also isn't overpowered by the milk.
Their other milk teas like the Rose and Lavender are great floral milk teas that don't taste like perfume but are deliciously fragrant. They also give you the option to choose between a Black Tea and Jasmine Tea base.
The macarons are great with the lemon macaron being my particular new favorite. It has a strong tangy but sweet taste that feels oddly refreshing for a little pastry. For the moment, they offer Red Velvet, Lemon, and Cookies and Cream.
They also have delicious lattes of different flavors. They do a great job of balancing the coffee with their respective flavor such as lavender, vanilla, and hazelnut to name a few.
If you're looking for a latte, coffee or a milk tea (they also can add boba at customer's request), I'd say go to Café Pruvia for it's myriad of...
   Read moreWhile searching for coffee, Cafe Pruvia popped up and Iâm glad it did. It's a cute shop located in a very busy shopping center in Gardena. It felt like a study room with lots of people studying together on their computers and enjoying a yummy drink. It reminded me of when I was in college studying in the library.
Cafe Pruvia offers coffee, lattes, and tea lattes. I went with an iced vanilla latte. Not only did I really enjoy the drink, but I also loved the cup that it was in. I know that's weird, but I just liked the sturdiness of the cup and the shape of it. Hubby and I enjoyed our coffee so much, that we turned around and ordered another drink. This time, we tried their swirled whipped cream matcha drink. That drink was also very good! I loved the way it looked in the cup and I love the way it tasted!
Overall, Cafe Pruvia was a success! Amazing drinks, great customer service,...
