    Berry lemon spritz

    This beverage was so refreshing. Service was great! Ambiance was clean with plenty of seating, cute wall art, and music in the background. There's plenty of natural lighting as well. This was well-deserved after a massage and acupuncture.

    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.

    Matcha latte and Hojicha latte
    Naomy V.

    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 :)

    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.

    Hot Matcha Latte sub oat milk

    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.

    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!

    Came here with my girlfriends for the first time and we thought it was cute cafe. Had huge tables and nice decor. Staffs were very friendly and tried the Hoiji cha latte for the first time. Very tasty. My friends said their chai latte was also good. Definitely will come back again to try other drinks.

    Met my client here yesterday and it did not disappoint. Very welcoming vibe, love how easy it is to order. I got a basic latte but it was really good. They've got a lot of options and even swag. PLENTY of tables and chairs and easy parking. Will definitely be back.

    cream cap latte
    Yoandra V.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Vanilla latte with cream cap
    Lauren T.

    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.

    Cute shop with lovely staff. I was given an excellent recommendation…read more The turon banana with banana foam is perfection if you like banana bread, caramel, and coffee flavors. It is a well crafted dessert coffee. Lots of places have flavored drinks that either feel like the coffee is incidental/nonexistent, or they feel like coffee with a La Croix hint of whatever flavor is advertised. The Amai banana turon, on the other hand, is beautifully balanced. It's like eating a slice of salted caramel banana bread while drinking a latte. Both flavors are fully present and complement each other. I usually avoid foam, since I can find the texture unappealing, especially when it feels close to bubble bath suds. The foam at Amai is thick and creamy and genuinely added to the drink.

    This review is regarding a visit on June 1 between approximately 12:10 PM and 12:30 PM…read more I am leaving this feedback as a regular customer who has purchased different matcha drinks from this business on multiple occasions. I have consistently enjoyed visiting this location, which is why I am sharing this experience in detail rather than simply not returning. On this visit, I ordered the House Matcha with almond milk and paid $7.75. The drink was significantly underfilled, which resulted from my request for no ice. While I understand that removing ice can affect volume, the amount of empty space at the top of the cup made it feel like I received less than a full drink despite paying the full price. In addition, I was charged for an almond milk substitution, which further contributed to the expectation of a properly filled drink. The cup size also raised concerns. I recently ordered a Banana Cream Matcha at the same price point and received a noticeably larger cup. On this visit, the House Matcha was served in a smaller cup, and even the sleeve did not fit correctly. The combination of a smaller cup and reduced fill level created an inconsistency in value that was immediately noticeable. The most significant issue was that the drink contained no sweetness at all. The House Matcha is described as "perfectly sweet matcha" and includes agave syrup, so it is reasonable to expect sweetness as part of the standard preparation. Instead, the drink was completely unsweetened. There was no communication during ordering that sweetness needed to be selected separately, and in prior visits I have never been asked about sweetness level. This is also not the first time I have received a matcha drink without sweetness despite it being described otherwise. By the time I realized, I had already left the store and was unable to return due to time commitments, and it does not feel reasonable that multiple preparation issues should require a return visit. It is also concerning that there is no clear pricing listed next to the different matcha options in the matcha section of the menu. The lack of visible prices makes it difficult to understand the cost of each drink at the point of ordering and reduces transparency for customers. From a broader perspective, consistency issues across cup size, fill level, and recipe execution affect the overall experience. I regularly purchase specialty drinks and would be comfortable paying $7.75 if the product consistently matched the menu description, portioning was accurate, and expectations were clearly communicated at the point of sale. As someone who visits this plaza several times per month, I would genuinely like to continue supporting this business and have consistently positive experiences. That depends on clearer communication, more consistent preparation standards, and attention to detail during both ordering and fulfillment. At home, I am able to prepare matcha easily using a variety of milks, including almond, oat, coconut, cashew, pistachio, banana, and pea protein, along with simple sweeteners such as agave, maple syrup, honey, and organic brown sugar. I also keep ingredients such as whipped cream, sea salt, strawberries on hand, blueberries, and mango, allowing me to make specialty drinks like strawberry matcha, blended matcha with frozen strawberries, or other customized variations. Because of that, the value of a café drink comes down to consistency, accuracy, and convenience rather than ingredients alone. If issues such as inconsistent cup sizes, underfilling, missing ingredients, or unclear customization options are occurring across orders, it may point to a need for improved staff training and clearer standardization. Addressing these areas would likely improve the experience for both regular and first-time customers. I hope this feedback is received as constructive input from a returning customer meant to improve overall customer satisfaction and repeat business.

Seating is limited, but they have seating both indoors and outdoors. There are five tables indoors. Two are small tables for two. There are four small tables for two outdoors. I chose to sit outside. It's a little stuffy inside, and when at full capacity, it gets crowded. I ordered and paid before sitting outside. They only have one laminated food menu and one laminated drink menu to order from. I ordered the avocado toast and a 12 ounce latte with almond milk. In terms of types of milk, they offer almond, oat, soy, and whole milk. Staff are friendly, but they need more staff. Unfortunately, there was only one person taking orders and making drinks in the front. I believe someone was in the back cooking the food. When I got here, there were only two parties ahead of me. After I placed my order, there was a large group of people who arrived, but they received their drinks before I did. I had to go back inside to ask where my drink was twice. He delivered my latte. No design. If you squinted a little, it could possibly look like an embryo. Afterwards, my avocado toast was delivered, along with a wooden container full of utensils and napkins. The avocado toast was alright. It consisted of toasted white bread spread with cream cheese, scrambled eggs, topped with peppered and sliced avocado. It came with a side salad; not too much dressing. Parking: There is plenty of free, shared strip mall parking.

You can tell they put a lot of effort into their food and drinks. As for the ambiance, it's perfect for those who want to hang out and catch up with friends/family or to study. When I visited, there were easily 5 other groups and individuals studying here. I have a big soft spot for banana flavored items. A BIG SOFT SPOT. Banana Cream Pie Latte - this one carries the biggest punch for banana lovers. Banana cream the entire way from start to finish. Not too sweet. Awesome foam top too. I highly recommend drinking these without the straw. Foam top drinks are best appreciated when you get a nice 50:50 ratio of the foam and drink. Banana Matcha Latte - the name speaks for itself. It's a nice mixture of both. So if you're looking to feel a little healthier with the matcha element, then go for it. This was probably the prettiest drink of the 3 that we had. Americano - delicious and got the job done here. I naturally enjoy Ethiopian and Colombian beans. I brew them often at home. I was definitely wide awake after these drinks lol Strawberrynana Waffle - If you LOVE belgian-style waffles like me, then you'll find yourself ordering this again and again. It wasn't too sweet but sweet enough to easily go through 2 or 3 of these plates if you're crazy enough. Banana Walnut Honey Bread - the best for last! I really loved eating brick toast growing up. There were so many stores back in the day that sold them, and now I can't find them as easily. In fact, Caffe Bene is the only place in the South Bay that I know that sells them.
