Lavender & Honey® Redondo — Restaurant in Redondo Beach

good atmosphere, average service. they are understaffed for the 7-8am crowd. we didn't have any breakfast food at home so my husband and I opted to try something new on the way to work. showed up at about 7:10, so they had just opened, and waited half an hour for our food and drinks. we got a mocha, white cherry matcha latte, a peachy parfait and the honey pistachio toast (which I only ordered because pastry options were already so limited). none of it tasted like it was worth the $30 spent (!!?). I expected the pistachio toast to be sweet, but they loaded it up with what I believe might be everything bagel seasoning, so I was unpleasantly surprised by how onion & garlicy it tasted. it looked good, but missed the mark on flavor - all onion and garlic, no honey and pistachio. the white cherry matcha just tasted like a regular matcha without any extra flavors. the peachy parfait was probably not worth the $7 paid, but I would give it four stars. a little too much cinnamon but I was so put off by the onion flavor of the toast that anything sweet was welcome. definitely the best-tasting thing we got. the mocha was average, there was nothing special about it and that's okay. scale of 1 to 5 I'd give this restaurant 3 stars for breakfast (meaning it's completely average, not the best thing I've ever had but certainly not the worst). by no means do I want to bash on the business, but it's has so many good reviews I thought it would be worth stopping in. unfortunately it did not live up to the hype and I do not...

Disappointed this time around.

I’ve been a loyal customer of Lavender and Honey since they opened in the neighborhood, and I’ve always loved the vibe, the drinks, and the overall experience. But I left today feeling a disheartened.

My husband and I came in to try the new spring menu and ordered two drinks: the pistachio latte and the espresso with tonic water and Cara Cara orange syrup. When asked how we wanted them, we said “hot,” assuming both drinks could be made that way. The espresso drink came iced, and we were told afterward that it can’t be made hot—which is totally fine, but that wasn’t clear from the menu, and it wasn’t communicated at the time we ordered and requested hot.

Unfortunately, the drink ended up being too bitter for my husband to enjoy. When I went back in to explain, the barista kindly offered to remake it, which I appreciated. I returned back to my husband to see what he would want. But when I returned later to request a warm alternative, I was told we’d need to pay for the new drink, even though the original was barely touched and didn’t work out due to the miscommunication.

Ultimately, we left without the second drink, and the experience just left us feeling a bit dismissed. I understand policies are policies, but what would have gone a long way was a little more flexibility or even clearer communication from the start. Especially for regulars who genuinely love your shop, moments like this can shift the tone of the whole experience. It’s a shame because I loved my...
