such a cute and clean space, friendly staff, and the coffee and pastries were so good!

This is a new(ish) coffee shop in Torrance. The prices are about the same as anywhere else in the neighborhood, BUT the quality of the coffee is much better. They are using Australian beans that are quite good and this is definitely the best latte in town. They also have outdoor seating with comfortable chairs and spotless bathrooms. A few food items (croissants, etc.) make this a great spot for chilling on the weekend. Check it out! read more

The Berry Good Matcha was ok. Service was ok. Parking was ok. Inside is cute and has seating inside and outside. I've only tried the matcha but maybe I have to try their coffee? I just thought everything was ok. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon There is plenty of parking in the lot. It is very pretty, colorful inside. LOTS of seating for anyone who needs to study work or catch up with friends. It was definitely more quiet as people seemed to be studying when I came in. I ordered the Matcha latte with oat milk and agave as my sweetner. My friend got the iced peach lemon drip. My matcha was amazing, tasted great, not overly sweet, a good balance. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't filled all the way to the top. I def recommend this place though if you are local, and want to do some work at a cafe or get a nice drink. read more

Our experiences at Cafe Dolce have been okay. Specialty drink menu is small, but drinks are good! So far we've tried the berry matcha, vanilla latte, and mint mocha (which to me, was just a plain mocha--didn't taste much mint if any at all). Prices are about the same as the many cafes down sepulveda. We paid $30 for 2 drinks and 2 pastries. We came in on a Saturday morning with a group of friends, the cafe was empty as we came in right after opening at around 8:15. We ordered, drinks came out swiftly, but our pastries didn't. After about 15 minutes of waiting, we had to go back up to ask if they were ready, to which they then began "heating them up". All 4 of our group who got pastries noted that they were still completely cold after asking to have them warmed up. We felt bad since we already had to go back up to ask about our forgotten pastries, so we just decided to wait to eat them until we got home to actually warm them up. If it was busy, I would completely understand. But we were the only group there, so it was disappointing to see that service was lacking. Otherwise, the seating is good, the baristas were courteous and friendly! read more

I recently visited Cafe Dolce and found them on yelp with high ratings. They are located on a busy street inside of a plaza with plenty of parking. The café is chic, clean and trendy. They offer great seating inside with Wi-Fi. They have a nice variety of options for drinks and pastries. There is a kiosk for ordering, however we want it to ask a couple of questions so the barista was kind enough to assist us. I ordered one of their signature drinks which is the cream cap latte and it did not disappoint. My daughter ordered the matcha and she was impressed and she's kind of a matcha snob The baristas were friendly and I would definitely visit again and try something else. read more

Been coming here since earlier this year. The coffee has been amazing. Their hazelnut latte and vanilla latte are amazing, both aren't too sweet. The hazelnut latte has a roasted hazelnut flavor that isn't overpowering. The vanilla latte even has specks of vanilla seeds swimming around. The coffee flavor is warm and toasty. The people working are always very friendly and efficient. They're very accommodating and happy to answer questions. The space is so nice, a great place to study or sit with people to talk. The outside has tables as well. I keep recommending this place to people and they love it! A friend had the matcha latte and said it was very good: great matcha flavor and not too sweet! read more

My second time at cafe dolce and I came with a friend to do our studying on a Saturday morning. Pretty busy but we managed to grab some seats. They do have outlets if you bring your laptop. I ordered their pesto Danish and a hojicha latte. One of the best hojicha latte I've had in terms of it actually having a strong hojicha taste. Typically when i order one its super sweet and the hojicha is faint but this one is super smoky and nutty, love it! Will be coming here for it :) read more

Really enjoyed the cafe especially with open parking lot and plenty of seats. The room is bright and welcoming and lots of guests either studying and reading. The attentiveness of the staff is super amazing and calming. Thank you for making great suggestions on the pastries promo and the matcha latte really hit the spot for me. Will come back to try the other drinks but definitely come here to relax. read more

I came to check this place out one Friday afternoon. It wasn't super busy there were a few parties at the tables. The place was moderately sized with various sized tables. Additional seating can be found outside. It is a good place to study or hangout. We opted to order from the kiosk on side when you walk in. Though you can definitely order at the counter in the back. I tried the matcha latte with oat milk and got a 3 piece Obangtteok with red bean filling. There was an additional filling options such as Nutella or get them plain with no filling. Our drinks took around 5-10mins to prepare while Obangtteok took a little longer around 15-20mins. The matcha latte was good but alittle on the sweeter side. I think you can modify the sweetness, which I probably will the next time I come. The Obangtteok was the highlight. It was warm and right amount of crispy on the outside. Inside was fluffy and paired well with the red bean filing without it being super sweet. Overall a pretty standard cafe. The parking lot was decently sized and didn't have any issues with finding parking. read more

One of the cutest coffee shops I've been to! When you walk in, the strong aroma of beans and baked pastries will hit you right away! The whole shop smelled so delicious! You can place your order at the counter or there is also a kiosk to place your order on your own. Their espresso was alright I found it to be on the bitter side with a sour after taste. Both decaf and caffeinated. Therefore the affogato was a perfect combo bec you can mask the sour after taste coffee with the icecream. Their affogato here is huge! I'm sure to a small cup with a shot of espresso and a small scoops of ice cream. Here, it's more like a cup of icecream serving and a shot of espresso poured on top on your own! Their ice cream is delicious so I'm not complaining at all! I also got the 'spresso highball, which I thought was so clever and tasted refreshing but still retains that coffee taste. It was pretty strong but citrusy! I think it's the best post meal drink! People who like the more green coffee bean taste will like the espresso here. Their cookie was delicious and did I already mention so was their icecream? Service was great and plenty of space to sit and work or hand out! read more

As mentioned in previous reviews - there have been several coffee shops popping up along the South Bay. Three of them are on this street. Now this may sound controversial, but this is the best one. The atmosphere is very welcoming with ample seating inside, and patio seating. Additionally, the baristas are all very sweet and caring. I've had nothing but wonderful interactions with all of the staff members who ensure that the drinks are prepared fresh and to your liking. That alone is what makes this Cafe Dolce stand out from over half of the coffee shops on this side of town. I tried a couple of their drinks (by the way, they offer a great mix of traditional and fun drinks): - Cream cap latte - which is sweet cream mixed with two shots of espresso. I really enjoy this one. It's strong and remind's me of Flat White's Einspanner. - matcha smash - I was very spectical on this drink. Its matcha with citrus lemon mixed with mint. and I think club soda or mineral water (correct me if I am wrong here). This was surprisingly delicious and perfect for heatwaves and summer drinks. - hot matcha latte - my friend and I got to try this when we were catching up on life and it was delicious and the person who made the drink had the perfect latte art and it made me happy. thank you : ) They also have fresh pastries including this one that was like a bagel but it was croissant - I want another one as I am typing this review. Now, there was a yelper who said that drip coffee is $3.50 for 4oz. Sadly California is expensive now. Drip coffee for $3.50 is actually on the cheaper end considering drip coffee at other places are $4.50 - $5. Anyways, I am rarely in this part of town but when I am - this is the go to place for great coffee. Yes there 3 coffee shops on the block, but I recommend you skip them and go here. read more

Awesome find in the South Bay. Truly on a whim and many places were closed, this spot had later hours. There was plenty of parking in a shared lot with other businesses. I was interested in the matcha, it sure didn't disappoint. Presented nicely and in a festive cup. For close yo closing, it was quite packed with friends socialing and some people working. Lighting was dim inside. read more

3.5 stars rounding up to 4. Love how this cafe has a lot of seating inside and it's a fairly quiet space to get some work done or meet up with a friend. The space is clean and brightly lit. They have a variety of coffee drinks and tea drinks on their menu as well as a few caffeine-free kid friendly options which I appreciated. I got the Cream Cap which is their iced americano with house-made cream on top. I also got a misugaru smoothie for my daughter. Both drinks were okay but not amazing. The cream cap was a little more acidic and not as smooth as I expected. Next time, I want to try one of their matcha drinks. They also sell some pastries and sandwiches. If I'm comparing the drinks alone, I'd prefer Chrome Coffee down the street but this space has its own charm with more of a stay and study kind of feel. Service was fine, no complaints. Parking: free in plaza lot read more

Went out to dinner with coworkers and this place caught the corner of my eye, literally. So I already had dessert on my mind. Walked in and wanted ice cream. The beautiful Kayla greeted me and walked me through the menu. She was super chill and has positive vibes. Pointed out the pastries and I was sold. Ice cream and a warmed up pastry on top of my heavy dinner. Winning. If ever you're in the area, definitely check this spot out. read more

After seeing some social media marketing for this spot, I finally caved to come try it out. Luckily I live pretty close by, so I decided to come and do some studying here. The inside of the cafe is pretty nice, as the colors and aesthetic were pleasing. The placement of the menu was very odd, I was unable to locate it until I sat down after ordering... I only knew what to order because I looked online ahead of time. They also do include a touch screen kiosk you can order from. The menu is on the right side of the wall when you walk in, after the kiosk. They had a smaller menu of the sandwiches on top of their bakery display. Which was pretty empty when I got there around 2 and they never made more by the time I left so I'm left to assume the bakery items are morning only items. They have their own restroom, there's plenty of parking in the plaza. I thought the customer service was odd. I ordered with the cashier, nothing crazy. Not overly friendly or anything. After I ordered, the two workers were talking the entire time, at a pretty loud level for me know the details of their conversation which was also filled with foul language. It was not pleasant to hear... as I understand people talk at work, this just felt more disturbing. It also bled into dealing with other customers and I overhead the cashier say "oh I knew you didn't f*** with a sweet matcha" and it was clear these 2 did not know each other personally. The overall experience of sitting there to study and overhearing such interesting things was not something I was expecting. I ordered the cream cap latte I believe is the name and it tasted burnt. Really bad. I was so frustrated because it felt like I kept getting bad coffees from everywhere-- that burnt coffee taste seems so common I don't know how it occurs but it was unpleasant. I did not ask for a remake because I didn't want to come off as a Karen or something, but it genuinely was so bad, I drank maybe 20% of it and threw the rest away. So I wasted $7. Honestly this is not a coffee shop I see myself coming back to unfortunately. At least I was able to try it. read more

Another great coffee shop in Torrance! I got an iced vanilla latte (they make their own house syrup) & added cream cap. Their coffee is smooth & the cream added a lot to the drink! Will definitely be back to try something else. read more

Cute cafe with plenty of seating and plenty of parking. I was greeted immediately as I walked in. Super sweet and friendly barista. I told him it was my first time there and asked for recommendations. He gave a few and I decided to try the Ube Moo shake. I also got the Bourdeux Canele. The Ube Moo shake was delicious and not overly sweet, I don't remember if I said not too sweet. The Canele was a tasty bite as well. The interior is light and cozy, a great place to meet up with friends or clients. read more

This cafe is incredibly cute and cozy. I would love to come back and read or work on my laptop because the seating looks so comfortable and the atmosphere is so welcoming. The employees are also very friendly. I ordered a hot vanilla latte and they use a homemade vanilla flavoring, and it was delicious! It is not too sweet, and it does not have that weird artificial flavoring that big chain coffee places have in their flavored drinks. I can't wait to go back to try more of their offerings! They had pastries that look delicious, but I, unfortunately, didn't try one during this visit. read more

There have been so many new cafes popping up in the South Bay and I'm always up for trying a new cafe - especially in our area! Right when you walk in, CAFE DOLCE gives off the most friendly, welcoming vibes. The cafe is bright, clean, and very inviting. I have never walked into Cafe Dolce without someone greeting me with a smile. My first time here, I couldn't decide what to get because their coffee looked delicious, but I also love my matcha. Their matcha smash sounded so interesting and different that I HAD to try it. It is my absolute favorite thing from here. It's so refreshing and delicious. Even if you're unsure about it, just order it because the flavors just work. I've also tried their hojicha latte and asked them to make it less sweet and it was absolutely perfect. The cream cap latte is also delicious. Cafe Dolce can really do no wrong. Baristas are friendly. Drinks are good. They have a lot of seating inside and so much parking. Worth a try if you're in the area! read more

First time trying this new shop and I'm glad I did. There is plenty of parking and very inviting storefront. The inside is spacious and welcoming with lots of seating and places to work. There was no greeting when walking in but the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their menu items. I usually order a quad on ice but today I decided to order the espresso highball with an added shot. Its actually incredibly tasty! I want to chug it. Their pastry case looks delicious and I will try one of them soon. I recommend this place. Next time I'll get my usual quad on ice and see how the espresso alone stands out. read more

My little one and I stopped into this cafe on a Sunday afternoon. No line despite the shop being busy, just pop your order in the kiosk, pay, and wait a few minutes for your drink. The system seemed very simple and streamlined. We tried: - Spanish Latte: A classic made well. Espresso, made creamy and sweet, with a healthy sprinkling of cinnamon. The flavor was mild, not overly sweetened with syrups to mask the espresso. Everything was really balanced and pleasant. - Vanilla Moo-Shake: They managed to really capture the richness of a milkshake with this one. It literally tasted like a melted vanilla shake. Super sweet and the vanilla sauce they use was not messing around. So delicious. There were several tables packed with people, as well as a few outdoors; if you're able to score a table, this seems like a great spot to have a social coffee with someone. read more

I was looking for my coffee fix this morning in Torrance. There's a bunch of coffee shops here. But I saw this one and based on their menu they had a lot of teas and smoothies and pastries on top of their lattes and coffees. Its in a nice size strip mall. With plenty of parking (Friday morning). There's seating outside as well as plenty of seating inside. Its a nice place to either have a conversation with a friend, read a book, study or do some work or just chill. I love the vibes here. We ordered an ube iced latte as well as a mango smoothie. Our Barnstable was super nice and friendly. The drinks came out quickly. We really enjoyed what we ordered. Not crazy sweet. You can taste the ube and the mango. Very refreshing. Colors are just so vibrant. I would definitely come back here again to sample their other drinks and try some of their pastries as well!! read more

There has been a lot of coffee shops opening up in South Bay. I have tried like 5 new places in the last few months but this place takes the prize in terms of friendly service. The lady at the register was so kind and she even brought the coffee out to where I was waiting. They not only served coffee, pastries, but also ice cream. My bff had her children with her and they got some ice cream so a little bit of everything for every one. I went on a random weekday afternoon and the place was so packed with patrons. I believe it is Korean owned and you can tell many locals young and old visit. They have games inside so they don't mind if you stay long. A super welcoming store and kind to my pup. I can see myself visiting before my son's school pick up. read more

This new cafe in Torrance is great! There's plenty of tables, the decor inside it cute and comfy. Definitely a great spot for studying or meeting up with friends. The staff was friendly and helpful when we ordered at the counter. It was the end of the day, so they also had some pastries that were discounted. We tried the affagato, and the cafe lets you choose your flavor of ice cream so we opted for strawberry. They gave a generous portion of ice cream, and it was stunningly smooth and creamy. Paired nicely with the espresso. read more

great cafe in a great location. huge parking lot which is convenient. the inside is cute, with a large amount of seating, but it was busy throughout the day (sunday). many people were here to study or to spend time with friends/family. it's a great space for studying with comfortable seating, but one downside is there were only two visible outlets which are not as accessible unless you have those two specific spots nearby so be mindful of that. we placed out orders on the kiosk which was convenient, and the drinks came out quick. the matcha is on the weaker side, with the base of the sweetener somewhat pushing through more stronger than the matcha itself. the matcha was simple, not much complexity to it. the color is great but didn't taste very impressive. the notella latte was great, however. it had that expected nutella taste to support the espresso - a great pairing. it didn't feel heavy with chocolate, and i ended up finishing it quick. they have two single restrooms which is convenient and clean. they have free wifi which is always a plus. overall, a great place to visit for longer periods of time or for a quick treat. read more

This was my first time visiting after they recently opened, and I was pleasantly surprised. The coffee had a rich flavor, and I loved that after 7PM they offer a 50% discount on their pastries -- such a great deal! The pastries themselves were fresh and delicious, and I was happy to see that they also sell Häagen-Dazs ice cream, which made it even better. The interior was modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, creating a comfortable atmosphere! We came in a little late, close to their 8:30 closing time, but the staff kindly allowed us to stay a bit longer, which we really appreciated. Their warm hospitality, along with the tasty coffee and treats, made the visit extra special. The next time I'm in Torrance, this will definitely be on my list of places to return to! read more

Cute little place to meet up with friends or study! PEANUT ALLERGY WARNING: THE MISUGARU HAS PEANUTS IN THE FLOUR. Came on a Tuesday morning around 9 am and while it wasn't packed, the two workers were busy getting everyone's orders ready. I would have done the kiosk order, but I needed to check to see if what we were ordering had peanuts. Good thing I checked. I asked the worker if the misugaru had peanuts in it and he said he didn't think so. GOOD THING I ASKED HIM TO CHECK THE INGREDIENTS bc he came back and said that there indeed was peanuts in the powder! Ordered 2 Nutella and one red bean Obang Tteok- they came out piping hot and are soooooo good. Be careful to not burn your finger or mouth when you bite into them. They're crunchy on the outside, chewy and sweet on the inside. Got one of the breakfast sandwiches, which was sort of plain and had too much brioche bun. Would not order again. Definitely would come back just for the yummy obangtteok! read more
