new fave spot!! my friend introduced me to this place about a month ago and I'm so glad she did because I've stopped by a few times already. my go-to drink is the Ton Up (I love a spicy chai + with the turmeric I tell myself it's pretty healthy) but I definitely want to try the other drinks too (+ at the bar and check out the live music at night). I also got the lavender lemon scone this time and it was so good -- really soft and not too sweet. overall I loved the vibes as well and the staff are super friendly and personable! Definitely a hidden gem in the Riviera Village

Was walking by and came across this gem. It is NOT what you expect it just from the outside. Once you step in, you're def in for a treat. Biker vibes, polaroid wall, dark and vibey ambiance, and it even has a bar, that lights up from the flat table side. I ordered The Mod - it's genmai cha oat milk latte with brown sugar. The man takes his time brewing our tea with loose leaf so he tells us it'll be a few min. Hubby got The Greaser, which was good too, but we both liked The Mod better. They also have a bar menu with alcohol that sound really refreshing. I'll be coming back for that next.

Really good tea. Cute little shop to grab on the go. The pastries were amazing and definitely worth trying. The pricing was fair location is a little hidden.

This place was a little hard to find at first, but once found it was very entertaining. Lots of pictures all over the wall, which made it quite interesting while waiting for my order. The service was very quick and pleasant and one asked they coached you on what you would like. The açaí was delicious and reasonable priced. Overall very good experience for the area would be coming back if I lived here.

Super cool vibe at this all tea bar. Tried several drinks, both mocktails and tea lattes. Big fan of The Greaser and The Hillbilly.

Never had a drink here I didn't want to have more of! This place is fantastic- the tea is delicious and goes beyond anything I've had before in flavor and variety. great ambiance, great people, great spot. If you're on the fence, just go!

HOLD THE PHONE, not just a tea shop! Mrs. Flask has been coming here for years and I've been standing outside like a chump while she orders her fantastic Chai specialty drinks. The other day I finally decided, hey why not try and iced coffee from Racer. IT WAS FANTASTIC. As per usual, it's all about the beans, and my guy found some magic ones. He said it was just a coffee brew on ice nothing special, but it was so flavorful, light and delicious. No no need to mask with lame nut milks, just straight up good coffee. Coming back all the time.

Been getting this tea since it was being sold out the van. Love supporting this guy and witnessing his journey to get this store front. Old school diner/bar vibes, chill employees with good recommendations. PS. Don't say no to the Lime cold foam on the Rasta

Been visiting Racer Tea for a few months now and it's a certified hidden gem. Listen, they truly don't miss - I've let the staff pick something new for me to try each time and I have yet to be disappointed (highly recommend dealers choice, by the way). All of the baristas we've met bring their own unique vibe but everyone's helpful and welcoming overall. I hate that I'm becoming a "regular" anywhere but I think it's justified supporting this local business.

I've never seen a place like this before, really interesting theme feeling like a biker dive bar. You feel like you're walking into one but then you look at the menu and there is nothing but tea on the menu. We tried the tea flight and was served 4 small glasses of different tea lattes as they say. The service was really friendly and our server took the time to explain each drink to us (but we didn't remember them by the time we left ) all I can say is that each one had a very unique flavor profile, and I didn't really love any single one of them but I definitely liked every single one of them. I feel like this could be a cool place for a casual afternoon hangout.
Just a cool placeI probably get the greaser which is a mocha nut mate 5days a weekAll the teas are goodCool merchThe people who work there are super coolAnd the place is just super cool dogs are welcomed also :)They have live music or DJ on Saturday from 7 to 9I’ve tried their peanut butter, açai bowl, decentThey’re starting to introduce MocktailsThis place is tiny, though
The employees are extremely friendly and kind. They took their time explaining the items on the menu in great detail, and were very patience. The teas were excellent! I highly recommend The Rasta. I think best of all is the ambiance. The tea shop is decked out in polaroids and posters of musical artists. Definitely coming back and I wish I heard about it sooner :)

Fun, lively, and hip! This redondo coffee shop is such a fun vibe with its punk rock, racer inspired decor and menu. They're a tea bar that serves tea at different caffeine levels and in fun, flavors. The service is great as well, I would highly recommend this spot!

Google map directions got me confused. I can't believe I've never knew of or been here before, so for easy reference, it's located next door to Sacks on the Beach if you know where that is. This is probably the cutest bar that serves non-alcoholic drinks and I ordered the "Double The Rocker", an Earl Grey with Lavendar and honey. This is a freshly brewed tea, no lame tea bag with hot water! The staff is friendly and great at explaining their menu. This is a great place to meet a friend for tea. There's a cafe side and a more "bar" looking side further inside. Definitely recommend if you want to unwind and enjoy a crafted cup of tea.
