Solid little cafe with a great selection of beverages and baked goods. I ordered one of their hot lattes with a hint of mint (forgot the name - it's only on the kiosk not the physical menu) and it was really refreshing, with a good hint of mint. Their croissants were good, sweet and buttery but pricey (the chocolate one was more than my coffee lol). Good place to visit and get some work done. 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

Had heard so many good things about this spot to study and grab a coffee but unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. The WiFi did not work and there was only one plug available despite only people say it's one of the best places to work in the area. Coffee was also very mid. Personally I would skip this spot. read more

Cafe Dolce - Vanilla latte, ube latte soo good - Cafes Near Me - Torrance, California

Being a big coffee connoisseur, I was so excited to see the sign that Cafe Dolce is now open! Located in the same plaza as Jang Su Jang, this new coffee shop is currently in their soft opening phase. Their hours for now is 8am to 8pm daily (subject to change). I was excited to check this place out that I ended up getting there a bit early today around 7:30am. They weren't quite open yet but the owner/barista was so kind and opened up early when he saw me waiting. This new spot is so cute and welcoming. One wall has a colorful artwork painted by artist and illustrator @rfx.one. They have lots of seating featuring comfy straw chairs and tables with fresh flowers. The soft menu consists of a variety of coffee drinks from drip coffee to cappuccinos and lattes. They've also got teas and smoothies. For food they have pastries from baked bar LA. In the afternoon they offer ice cream treats. I spotted an ube latte ($6.50) on the menu and being the big ube fan that I knew right away that I wanted to order this. I also got a drip coffee with vanilla bean syrup for my mom ($3.50), a cinnamon twist ($4) and a chocolate hazelnut almond croissant ($7). Both of the coffee drinks were excellent. In chatting with the owner/barista he told me he really wants to provide quality coffee drinks. The vanilla bean syrup is freshly made in house and I was so impressed when I tried my mom's drip coffee. It had just the right sweet hint of vanilla. My ube latte was equally as good. It has that ube flavor and made for a perfect pair for the pastries. I enjoyed the cinnamon twist pastry. This was one huge piece and great with coffee. The chocolate hazelnut almond croissant was also delightful. It had the perfect flaky exterior and sweet dark chocolate paste interior. Food and drinks were definitely on point here. I was also impressed with the service. The owner was so nice and I enjoyed learning about his vision and hearing about future plans which include offering breakfast foods and more desserts in the future. You can definitely tell his heart is in this and he wants to offer the best coffee and food experience to his customers. Today was a wonderful first visit. I'm already looking forward to coming back and I can see myself being a regular here very soon. :) read more

Refreshing drinks! Came here with some friends and loved the vibe! We ordered from the kiosk and got our drinks made shortly after! Such a cute spot! read more

Perfect picture of a go-to neighborhood coffee shop! Plenty of seats and parking spaces (plus plus points in LA!), chillin' vibes with not overwhelming background music, super sweet barista, and obviously most important - DELIGHTFUL COFFEE! Their cutesy wall decoration and setting were the first to hook me, but the fact that they carried Little Marionette coffee certainly made it more appealing. I loved Little Marionette as its beans surely reminded me of the coffee I got in Aussie, which I still thought as the country carrying my most favorite cups of joe. Obviously it went back to preference, but mine was non-acidic with bold aroma and smooth finishing. I was pleased by the flavor play Cafe Dolce brought into its menu as it's offering fun one like Ube. I got mine hot and absolutely loved it. It came sweetened just at the level I precisely fancied, and the ube taste wasn't overwhelming, still let the coffee gots its spotlight. They're still on soft opening but the opening hour was pretty long, reaching 8pm in the evening so you could get your pick-me-up until pretty late. They also served pastries from Baked Bar, one of my favorite bakeries in town. Prolly room for improvement was if they could get the pastries warmed-up pre-serving given it must have been staying there for awhile on the showcase. I got the Almond Financier, which I was doubtless would taste better if served warm. read more

Yesterday morning it was my first time first I used the kiosk and as I looked around i saw they had pastries as well . The young lady charged me at the register she seem nice at first but as soon as she saw i left no tip her face expression changed radically. I guess you get treated depending on tips it was disappointing being my first time there i don't think I will be back or recommend that place . read more

Place is tucked inside of a nondescript plaza but it is buzzing with chatter and keyboards clicks from clientele. It is very well kept with love and care detailed all throughout the outside towards the inside of this cafe. This place provides a pretty distinct and interesting menu with an array of caffeinated drinks and even some kid friendly drink options. Service was prompt and amicable, will definitely revisit again when I am in the area! read more

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

What a cute coffee shop that my friend recommended! I tried the house made syrup and the ube latte both with almond milk. I really wanted to like my drink but idk for some reason my coffee tasted burnt :( Maybe I didn't mix it enough or should have gotten w the standard milk option LOL Will def come back to try the matcha! Super friendly service and cute interior :) read more

Cafe Dolce - Cafes Near Me - Torrance, California

Tucked away in a small place wiith two other korean eateries, this new café has already made quite the entrance. It was nearly at full capacity when I stopped by on a Sunday around noon, impressive, considering it's a fairly spacious spot with plenty of seating and a few cozy tables outside for those who prefer their lattes with a side of sunshine. The space is bright, airy and on the minimalistic aestethic side. I ordered an iced matcha latte, and I'm happy to report that it was no faint, milky imitation - the matcha actually stood its ground and shone through. My drink was handed to me quickly, which only added to the experience... There's nothing like having to wait 30 min for simply a drink. I can easily see this place becoming a go-to for student, remote workers or anyone looking for a calm corner to chat with friends while sipping on their favourite drink. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other drinks, maybe their Nutella Latte. read more

Clean & bright cafe, even on a rainy day. My friends said their coffee was good. I got hojicha latte & it had a good balance of sweetness & the tea flavor. Orange tteok is similar to boong-uh-ppang but we (my friends & I) prefer the latter. The place was packed & steady stream of customers came in. The person who took the order could have been friendlier & more welcoming. She looked unhappy working & repeated the orders to us in a barely audible voice. Other than that, overall a good experience. Will come back to get different teas & hang out with friends. 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

!!! Rip off ALERT !!! Drip coffee is $3.50 for a teeny weeny cup (4 oz?). Not even that good or coffee. Drip coffee is probably the highest margin beverage in a coffee shop and they're skimping. Refill is another $3.50. What a rip off. And one last thing. Super aggressive tip shaming at the point of sale. read more

I stopped by this location while I was in Torrance checking out some of the newer coffee shops along the main street, and that's how I ended up visiting Cafe Dulce. I've actually known Cafe Dulce for a long time. I remember going to their Downtown LA location years ago and didn't have the best experience back then, so I honestly didn't have high expectations this time. But this turned out to be the best Cafe Dulce I've ever visited. I ordered an espresso, an iced Americano, and a cortado, and all three drinks were excellent. I also visited twice recently in the evening, and both times the same female barista prepared my drinks. She seemed very passionate about coffee, and you could really tell she paid attention to every detail in each cup. Out of all the Cafe Dulce locations I've tried, this one is definitely the best. And among the coffee shops along this main street, this is the one I'd recommend the most. read more

The parking lot has plenty of parking. The Wi-Fi available is decent to connect your devices and I didn't have any problems. read more

My go-to spot for studying, great coffee, and even better vibes! I've been coming to this coffee shop regularly to study with friends, and it's honestly become one of my favorite places in town. The environment is perfect! It's calm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed with plenty of comfortable seating and good lighting. Whether we're grinding through assignments or just catching up, it always feels like the right place to be. The staff deserve a special shoutout, they're incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely seem to care about creating a great experience for everyone who walks through the door. It's the kind of place where they remember your order and ask how your day is going. Especially Zaldy! He's the epitome of excellent customer service (friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind) Great coffee, delicious food, great people, great atmosphere. Can't recommend it enough! read more

Cafe Dolce - Matcha Smash - Cafes Near Me - Torrance, California

I tried their spanish latte and spinach danish pastry. The coffee was alright, although the beans were a little burnt since it tasted toasty. The pastry was a little overpriced ($6) but honestly undterstandable since this cafe can get crowded with people studying/working for hours. They have to upcharge somehow to get profit. Has lots of tables, but i was only able to spot one charging station (so if you're going here to be productive make sure your devices are charged). The spot has very nice lighting bc of the big windows, i was very productive during my stay! It can get hella busy though and thats when it gets too much bc the coffee shop isn't that spacious. Could be overwhelming when it's busy bc of the crowd. Also! Has a parking lot so you don't have to fight for your life to park LOL read more

This place is legit! This is our second visit in three days. My wife and I are excited there is FINALLY a craft coffee shop in our neighborhood here in Torrance. We had the Matcha Smash - very refreshing, vanilla late and their espresso. Have enjoyed everything we have tried so far. I talked to the staff about the quality and care they put into the product. From where they source their beans, peak time to brew post roast, quality of water, home made syrups. They're really blending art and science and you can definitely experience it in the product. read more
