Yeems Coffee
15420 S Western Ave, Gardena, CA
Crema's Take
“Yeems' Gardena outpost captures that sought-after sweet spot of a serious espresso bar with genuine charm—their Vienna Latte has clearly become a cult favorite for good reason, balancing milk and espresso with a smoothness that keeps people coming back. Despite the inevitable crowds that follow them from their original Koreatown location, the space maintains an unexpectedly calm, welcoming vibe, and their pastry game is just as strong as their signature creative drinks, making it worth timing your visit for that weekday lull when you can actually breathe.”

yeems is one of my favorite spots in koreatown, but decided to check out the gardena location on a weekday. parking lot was still packed, but inside felt surprisingly empty and the vibes were nice.🤎 there's street parking too! which is impossible to find in koreatown. honestly, i still prefer koreatown spot over this spot because of how they make their coffee and matcha there. the best part for this one is it's not crowded and there's plenty of FREE parking 🙌🚗🍵
Very tasty pastries, their Vienna latte is delicious. Lines are long but service is fast. Very cute and small coffee shop.
Finally got to go probably because I had a week day off. The line is usually wrapped around and now I know why. I got the Vienna Latte and it was amazing. Everything just blended so well and was not overly sweet(for me ha). I will def go again...its pricey but what coffee isnt nowadays. Treat yourself n support local shops and restaurants.
Been in a fan of Yeems since I tried it in Ktown and certainly have been missing out not knowing they have another outlet in Gardena. You can certainly tell a place is good when it’s been long-standing yet the line is still constantly long. It’s totally not only the hype but people’s keep coming back. They do magic though behind that barista tables as the drinks are ready in a blink despite the crowd. Their podium winners are the Ube Butterscotch Cream Latte and Vienna Matcha, for which I went for the first one sans the ube to let the butterscotch flavor stood out. My preference was to stir it well before sipping to let the coffee, caramel-ly foam, and milk blended well. I did go for almond milk substitute and loved it. If there’s anything I could add to make it better I’d say extra espresso shot to balance the creaminess.
Tried the Vienna Latte and the Buttercream Latte, both were delicious!!! A little on the sweeter side. I did not try any food this time, but they had pastries available. The line was long, but my order came out quickly. The staff was kind and efficient. I would definitely crave this again! $7 per latte (alt milk) before taxes.
