Amazing service and tasty breakfast! They follow covid 19 protocols. The tea is great, they have a lot of flavors and the bags can be used twice (they refill the cup with hot water)

Great, friendly service. Its a Tea Bar, but their coffee is also great. Tasty waffles on Saturdays with strawberries, bananas and blueberries. Mamas Peach Cobbler is absolutely The Best!

Super Delicious!!! Will go again. The mango sunrise pancake was super fluffy and comes with the most delicious white cream and mango puree sauce. Their fruit medley oolong tea was yummy and refreshing.Just in case you want to save 30 min of wait time for the fluffy pancakes, they ONLY take online orders for pick up.

I ordered the matcha mousse genmai tea with agar pearls. And as a tea lover, I can taste the high quality of the ingredients they used and the care they put into making each tea! The Mango crepe is amazing!! A must try!! So fresh that I feel its better than Lady M in my opinion. The macaroon is so cute! Im impressed with the quality, presentation, and the taste of their items. Its also a well-decorated place!

Awesome kauki cocktail tea cold & refreshing drink on a hot day and the zucchini loaf was warm and amazing. The space is cozy and welcoming, outside eating is available. The owner Laura is a wonderful spirit and im not just saying that cause I went to high school with her.

Great little gem in Inglewood to meet for conversation, delicious desserts and a wide range of tea. The owner, Lara, is wonderful! Give Mingles Tea Bar a try....youll definitely come back for more!

Lara was wonderful! The peach cobbler made me want to slap her mother because her mother makes it. I had a hot chocolate as well and it was really good. My sister had an Americano and it woke her up. Its not watered down coffee. The atmosphere was great, everyone there was really friendly and inviting. Customers felt comfortable enough to talk to one another. Jazz music played in the background and we were still able to record a video. I will be back!

Ive made a couple of trips to Mingles. In addition to delicious tea, the owner of Mingles is an absolute sweetheart! Instead of a visit to a tea bar, I felt like I was visiting my favorite aunts house for afternoon brunch. I highly recommend a visit.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon with a group of 5. Pretty small place with minimal indoor seating. There are some tables outside though so when its not cold outside Im sure its nice to sit there. Unfortunately when we went it was raining and chilly, but he large table was take up by 2 girls who spread their stuff all over it to ensure nobody else could share it so we braved the weather outside.When we got there, there was no line which was great. We ordered the mottos signature mousse and Mingles soufflé pancakes with cheese. For drinks we got a mango in Kyoto and tiger milk tea both with Mingles .

Hands down, this is one of the best tea bars that I have been to. The owner is a treasure and her shop is a hidden gem for sure. Not only was the customer service amazing, the tea was phenomenal. I ordered her matcha tea which was the best tasting matcha that Ive had and her plum oolong. Im a Vegas local but I will definitely come back to her shop. Its also black-owned which was another plus.

I really loved going there and being able to feel the Mingles experience! The Lemmon cake.... the wholesome smell of delicious and aromatic teas brings you to an emotional state of mind where you really feel you’re welcome! Lara is a fabulous host and kind individual, her voice is soothing and she will extend her empathy to anybody that comes through her business’ door!!!! Highly recommend!

Ive had lots of boba in my lifetime. I didnt think boba could get any better than the really tasty ones Ive had. I mean, how different or unique can another boba joint be? ...but I was wrong.Motto really switched things up for me with their mousse and silky smooth drink. I got the Mango in Kyoto and it was life changing. You have to try it. If you love mango and matcha, this is the drink too try. I dont even love mango or matcha but I still loved this drink! I would drive so the way to Pasadena to get Motto again.

A close friend went here all the time, so during my weekend in L.A. from Phoenix, I stopped by. So glad I did! You can tell its a very special place from the minute you step in the door. Such a cozy and welcoming vibe. I got a great iced tea too! I will definitely be back!

I really enjoyed my first time at the Mingles Tea Bar. I got an iced latte with almond milk which was delicious! And my boyfriend got the cold brew which he also enjoyed. For lunch I had their spinach salad which comes with strawberries and chicken and it was delicious!My boyfriend got Jims breakfast and he substituted the regular pancakes with banana walnut pancakes. Very delicious!Overall I really enjoyed the ambience and vibe of this cafe. Well definitely be back.

I enjoyed the Plum Oolong tea when I was here.They have a nice variety of teas here,they have food and dessert as well. I had some lemon cake from here that was ridiculously good! The young lady that helped me out was very wise for her age she knew a lot about the different teas and there various benefits. She was also fluent in several languages and didnt have an issue with you asking a numerous amount of questions. Basically,I think this is a great place to go and just relax for a bit.

This is a rare gem in Inglewood, one of the best tea houses Ive ever been. Really great for tea drinking. I had breakfast there and really enjoyed myself. Very good selection of teas here and loved the tea timer of the tea. Way better than a Starbucks. Will be back again to enjoy the atmosphere there.

Review №46

Totally enjoyed the atmosphere and wonderful tea selections. This is not some typical branded chain coffee/tea spot, Mingles is boutique grade west coast comfort! The owners are super friendly and can brew a mean blend! My favorite so far is a green tea infused with pomegranate. Heres a description of this tea from the menu:Green PomegranateThis Award Winning Organic green tea is hand tossed in a large wok, dried to perfection, then carefully blended with raspberries and rose hips and the antioxidant-rich essence of pomegranate.The flavor was amazing!!! Tea selections are served in a generous french press with sand in the hour glass tea timers. Our hosts made us feel like honored guests with smiles, warm conversation and attention to detail.Put Mingles on your to do list. Take a friend and make lasting memories in Inglewoods finest tea bar, MINGLES!

The tea was great! Their lemon cake was great to!They have two rooms, one for people who want to sit down and enjoy their tea, and a booth for those who want to get their tea and go. I had the pleasure of becoming their youngest customer and they showed love to me and everyone who came. I would recommend this to anyone best tea spot i have been to and undoubtedly best in the neighborhood!

The Best Tea Bar in LA County. They have multiple tea blends and mixtures to try. The Italian Blood Orange, Amore and Endurance teas are a must try.

It was excellent!! I had great service which I’m huge on and barista was hilarious and kept the experience positive and entertaining from the beginning to end. She’s literally a comedian and invited us to her show she was genuine and informative because I was definitely unsure of what to do when I seen the setup. The tea was delicious, it came with custom sand clock timers for the infusers and level of flavor (a very nice touch 👌🏾) and it was full bodied and fragrant as read on the menu. I’d most definitely visit again. It was a pleasure!!

I switched from coffee at that well known coffee house to tea. I was so happy to find a tea bar in the neighborhood. The owners are so welcoming.The service is excellent. I love the decor, and the free WiFi is a plus. I highly recommend the Chocolate Monkey herbal tea...hot. Mingles also offers coffee, espressos and lattes for those who enjoy it. My personal favorite decaf black tea, that I recommend to the owners, is PG Tips. I enjoy it served with milk.

Outstanding. Starbucks will never see another cent of mine, why would they? if I am in proximity of this place, I will feed my body, mind, spirit, and most importantly I will feed the spirit of my community by keeping my cent in my neighborhood for longer than it takes to swipe my card. Owners are inspired and favored, space is honorable, service is stellar, product is solid and delicious...star who?

Now about the food- we visited the restaurant twice while visiting London and the first time we ordered paav bhaaji, Kathi roll, aaloo paratha and chai. We came close to licking the plates. Even chutney was prepared the same way we prepared back at home with mint and usual ingredients. The following time, we again ordered kathi roll, paav bhaaji team and this time Bombay bhel. We were equally pleased with the bhel.

Rasta Cue and I-dj stace-from sep 25, putting Parliaments Motor Booty Affair title track into the mix. Room 389 is one of the few places where you can still listen to real deejays spinning vinyl, or wax-and you can see that its a disc, thus the term disc jockey, or DJ for short. If youre not using vinyl, youre not a DJ. You are a technical jockey, or . Anyway, Room 389 is a chill yet sacred spot for great drinks, laid back attitudes and hip hop junkies alike.Mingles Tea Bar

Discovered this cute lil unassuming cafe while out with coworkers after lunch. We wanted to order something different and was suggested the brad pitt which is like an iced cappuccino sweetened just enough to make it a perfect dessert coffee. Coffee flavor came through the moly froth but lacked a bit of ice. Next time I shall order it with extra ice!
