I seriously have no idea why this place is averaging only a 4.2 star rating. In my opinion, it should be much closer to a 5. My boyfriend and I both got drinks - a creme brulee boba milk tea and a banana cream iced matcha, and both were stellar! Service people were very friendly as well

This was my first visit to Lotus Coffee & Tea in Carson, and I loved it! The shop is clean, cozy, and has a nice modern vibe. I really liked how easy it was to order through the touch-screen panel — super convenient! My drink, the signature milk tea, was delicious and made quickly. They also offer free Wi-Fi and free parking, which is a big plus. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more drinks next time!

Their “less sweet/syrup” option is still waaaaaaay too sweet -_- had to throw the drink out

I usually only drink water, but their fruit tea was actually enjoyable.

I ordered the white peach jasmine milk tea with boba. It was delicious full of flavor and the boba was fresh. I'll be returning. To try a ube cookie to pair with my drink. Great service staff was friendly and sought answers when they did not know. I will be returning!

It’s my favorite time of the day because it’s boba time. Plus they make the drinks so quick!
I had: 1. Banana cream matcha 2. Ube coffee 3. Taho milk tea - classic sweet treat in Philippines made with silken tofu, sago or tapioca pearls, and a simple brown sugar syrup 4. Golden black peach tea
Asked for hot coffee. Received the worst leftover coffee ever. I had to dump it since life is too short for bad coffee.
Why offer coffee if you are going to serve dirt water? Do it properly.

My orignal review was 5 stars. However, the new increase of prices is discouraging. I come here often and to pay $9+ for a large matcha makes me want to find an alternative. I do understand quality and price increase. But this place is becoming an occasional treat instead of a weekly pleasure 😔

Was in the area for a meet and wanted to get some coffee and this place was within walking distance so here we are. There were plenty of tables if you want to dine in but we took ours to go. They also have restroom available FYI.
I ordered the ube coffee so I can get cheese foam with it. I'm not exactly sure what it is but while deciding what to get the girl helping us out gave us some samples for the cheese foam and let me tell you it's soooooo good!!!!! Heaven in my mouth good. The drink was good but I was disappointed that I felt it did not have enough cheese foam in it even though i requested extra. I'm def going to see how I can get more of that cheese foam next time lol.
Overall: friendly service and drinks are more on the dessert side but viet coffee is strong. I'll be back for more cheese foam :)

I’ve been to Lotus before, but I had yet to try their new matcha series. They added so many new matcha drinks to choose from, that I was overwhelmed (in the best way possible). One thing about Lotus is that they have a large selection of drinks to choose from, so I get to try something new every visit. This time, I ordered their Double Matcha and Rose Matcha latte. The matcha foam was soo yummy and more flavorful than I expected it to be. Would definitely get again when in need of a little pick me up. I don’t think I’ve ever had a Rose Matcha latte until now, and it was really good!! Floral drinks can easily be a miss for me, but this one was yummy and sweet. I thought the rose paired well with the matcha. It had a pink rose foam on top which really brought out the rose flavor, but wasn’t too floral. Loved the colors and how good it smelled too
Additionally, I tried their spinach and cheese pastry, and it was so good warmed up. My friend finished one and got up again to buy another. I also bought, 2 cookies to go which my family loved - matcha banana bread and ube white chocolate chip cookies I believe. Will be back to try more from their menu.

Went to Lotus to try their double matcha and it was sooooo good!! I’m a big matcha fan and this one was sooooo creamy, I finished it so fast. The workers were all very nice and friendly, and the lounge’s ambience was very super cool! The pastries also tasted so fresh and homemade. I would definitely come back and try other drinks!!
Not allowed to use tables and chairs?!?
