7 Leaves Cafe — Restaurant in Torrance

I'm always in search of new boba and coffee spots. One of my coworkers told me about 7 Leaves. So, of course, I needed to check it out. It's a cute little spot that serves coffee, teas, and macaroons. Their menu is small, but it's straight to the point. I actually prefer this because a lot of other boba spots menus can be so overwhelming. I went ahead and ordered their house special coffee with boba and a Thai ice tea with boba. I wanted macaroons, but they were sold out. :( They also do not take American Express can't so make sure you have another card to use. You are also able to sample certain drinks before you order. I sampled the mung bean milk tea, which was definitely different. They do have a seating area, but it's closed off due to construction. The drinks were very yummy, and the boba was perfect! I'm glad I checked it out and will most definitely be returning. Hopefully, next time they'll...

The flavor of the tea is really good, but the least amount of sweetness (easy sweet) was still way too sweet for me. I know it can be subjective, but I've gotten that level at many other places and they have by far the sweetest.

The last thing we got was the strawberry cream pastry, and it was soo good! The pastry was super flakey, and the cream was really cold and had a balanced sweetness.

Overall, love the flavor of the teas and the pastry, but I wish there was a less...

Edit 03/23/25: I love this place. It’s truly the best place to work and hangout.

Edit 12/11/23: they seem to be playing competing music in the kitchen now. Really ruins the cafe vibe with a cacophony of random sounds. Most of the time I just put in my headphones but now I can’t but help it.

This place gets so crowded now! 7 leaves please open a location near Manhattan beach! They are a boba desert!

As a long term 7 leaves customer, I like this 7 leaves a lot. It brings a lot of the nice things about LA to the OC concept. For example, they allow my service animal inside, whereas in OC they would ask for a “Service Animal ID” as if that’s an actual thing.

Edit: the wifi is way better now! (Original: 4 stars because the WiFi is dreadful. I mean dreadful. Even when I’m the only...
