LAITH’S CAFE

the matcha latte here has pulled in a loyal following on carson st, and that kind of repeat business doesn't sustain itself without consistency. laith's cafe sits at the quieter end of the 860 building off carson, which means you're not fighting foot traffic to actually settle in. the regulars who show up often aren't there by accident, they found something that works and kept coming back. specialty coffee in the south bay doesn't always get its due, but this spot operates like it has something to prove. if you're in the area, the coffee drinks trend toward the kind of careful middle ground between approachable and genuinely interesting. start with whatever's espresso-based and cold before you default to drip.
