From Van To Store

It was the year 2020, LA has been shut down and Chad had a 1975 Dodge Van where creative, crafted tea concoctions were being steeped. Stopping at multiple corners throughout the City of Angels, one smaller beach town took hold of these tasty oatmilk based beverages.

The Esplanade in Redondo Beach is filled with dog walkers and open minds. The evenings turned into a gathering we called, Sunset and Tea. Nightly, Chad and his groovy 'Uncle Rico's' van would steep up a cup of tea that was out of this world as the community gazed upon the sunset and celebrated another beautiful day in paradise. Amidst all of this, a storefront was dreamt and found and the Racer Tea Bar was born.

Super high quality tea and well priced given the location and quality. Taste of the drinks is 10/10 and the owner takes passion in everything he makes. Redondo is lacking places like this.

I don’t usually write reviews but me and my cousin stopped in here on our walk today and omg! The best açaí bowl I have ever had. The place has super cool and unique vibe, I’ll definitely be coming back to try the tea. I love that all the drinks are made from oatmilk. The peanut butter açaí bowl was loaded with many toppings and the base was so creamy and perfect. New favorite spot for açaí bowls. Definitely try this out.

Fun, lively, and hip! This Redondo coffee shop is such a fun vibe with its punk rock, racer inspired decor and menu.
