Such a nice coffee shop... really nice environment and friendly staff. It has a great variety of drinks as well... very convenient for usc students. read more

This place is amazing. A great spot in USC. Drinks are amazing. They have great service. Especially Vickie.

Loved the blueberry matcha latte. I thought it would be either delicious or really terrible, and thankfully it was the former! I have a problem with going here and getting donuts when I'm supposed to be cutting back on added sugar... they're just so damn good! Fruity pebbles and strawberries!!! Ahhhhhhhh! read more

Great service and food! The breakfast burrito was amazing, but the donuts will literally change your life! If Dulce opened earlier in the morning, I would definitely be stopping to bring some donuts home! read more

Exactly how the other location in little Tokyo taste like, I like the places around usc village because it's just a different vibe. This place is awesome because it's also open late. read more

I typically love Dulce, but my latest experience leaves a sickening taste in my mouth. Knowing how busy the restaurant typically is, I decided to order my food online because I was in a rush. I received an email with a pick up time and upon arrival, the employees made me wait in a line that took about 30 minutes to get through. The line was filled with people who had yet to order, while I could see my order sitting at the front door and had already paid. Somehow every other restaurant has figured out how to make pickup a quick and easy option for their customers, but at Cafe Dulce they simply cannot figure it out. read more

This is probably my favorite place in the USC village to drop in for a quick bite or have a business meeting. The atmosphere created by the Lo-fi music encourages a productive mindset while keeping it groovy. The Breakfast Sandwich hits the spot perfectly, providing all the classic components (ham, a perfectly medium egg and lightly toasted bread) while introducing new qualities: spinach, and what seems to be a honey-mustard inspired sauce that make this the best breakfast sandwich on USC campus. The oat milk in the matcha latte is the way to go if you're trying to reduce your dairy footprint. It is CREAMIER than milk and leaves you feeling good afterwords. I always leave Dulce with a huge smile on my face because the people and the food impress every time. read more

A nice addition to the USC Village, Dulce offers a variety of drinks, baked goods, and salads/sandwiches. I've personally never had their drinks, so I won't comment on those. What I do really like are their sandwiches-- particularly the chicken pesto sandwich. They come fresh and warm with a crispy baguette bread and a little side salad. I've also tried the red bean roti, which was pretty good & not too sweet. However, I do not recommend their churros because they are way too oily. Definitely would return for their sandwiches though! read more

Wife forgot to mention she needed an alternative to milk. They remade the drink for free! I would recommend the creamy chocolate donut, it has a custard filling inside, not too sweet. read more

First of all I have to say the staff goes above and beyond, especially doing COVID they're doing a great job. My only qualm is with the limited menu and general taste of the food. If you're here you have to get the brick toast, it's seriously out of the world. But the menu is so limited and even the things they have on there they don't do well. The matcha blueberry latte which they're known for is overpriced and wayyy too sweet, and the breakfast sandwich and apple tuna sandwich are so lackluster and disappointing. To the owners of this establishment I recommend putting more effort into your menu as you do with your pastries, and spicy mayo on a tuna melt just doesn't work. Also please offer more non dairy milks with your teas!! I'm specifically hinting at the chai tea and blueberry matcha to be offered with oat or almond milk instead of whole milk, it just overpowers the flavor. read more

the food is great but can you ever make my food with no cheese when I ask for it with no cheese? I'm lactose intolerant and it's happened multiple times... read more

Went here the first time. Had the spicy chicken and the dulce latte. The spicy chicken sandwich was okay. The dulce latte was normal, nothing special. I definitely will not return for a long time unless I am super hungry. read more

This has become my go-to spot for that much needed caffeine/sugar fix whenever I'm in the area. I followed them over from the Little Tokyo location. Don't forget to try their food food menu as well! Was super impressed by the chicken pesto sandwich and tried a few salads too. Get some. read more

Though pretty expensive, especially for a college setting, the rose milk tea latte is worth it. It's the absolute best!! I get it basically every single day. However, some of their drinks are way too sweet, so I always ask for reduced sugar. Donuts and sandwiches are amazing also, but I've only had them about once or twice. Definitely recommend rose milk tea latte, jasmine milk tea latte, or iced matcha green tea latte! read more

This is a USC student favorite! They are known for their sandwiches, salads, pastries and coffees. I like the chicken pesto sandwich! There is indoor and outside seating. People do work and study here. Sometimes the line gets long but it usually moves pretty fast. There is free parking in the usc village lot. read more

Great ambiance and good drinks. Came here to study because this place open late and has plenty of open tables. However once I got settled in...I realized it was a mistake! Music is obnoxiously loud with bass that make your heart pump and your ear drums pop, which is nauseating. I was hoping to study and not be in a club. Could not phase out music with headphone. Ask staff to turn down the music multiple times, which they did a little bit each time -__-. While appreciative, I still feel the music choice and loud bass pretty annoying. Won't be back for studying. Okay, heading out to Starbucks! read more

I wanted to find someplace to do some work and I didn't want to go to Starbucks yes this place is in the USC Village and is surrounded by students but the atmosphere is so chill you don't feel like you're surrounded by students the music is awesome and the coffee is fantastic the donuts is blow your mind good and I stayed there all day long with my laptop my coffee my Donuts my salad and totally was chill and enjoyed myself I love it over Starbucks any day only down the men's bathroom is out of order and everyone has to use the women but I'm returning it was absolutely the workplace away from work for me read more

The coffee is very good and the food is surprisingly tasty and well made!! Definitely recommend a visit in the beautiful USC Village!

Great coffee and donuts. Lots of options, non-dairy and vegan also available. Have not tried the food items, but will soon!

I came to Dulce to grab coffee with some girls I connected with on Bumble Bizz, and Dulce was a great environment for us to collaborate. We grabbed our lattes and found a table inside, and we were able to hear each other well and stay focussed because of the smaller environment. The coffees, too, were awesome -- it was more popular than the starbucks down the street! read more

Great food and drinks are mediocre but do the job if you want a matcha latte one step up from Starbucks. Only problem and why it has 3 stars instead of 4 is that the BATHROOMS are actually disgusting and not tended to at all. I don't know who the manager is but they should really start replacing the soap and toilet paper because I've been coming here a few days in a row to study and the same bathroom has been out of soap. Very easy fix read more

Their breakfast burrito is pretty good. Ordered the rose milk tea, which was also pretty tasty. The donuts and other pastries looked so scrumptious! Will definitely be coming back. read more

Dulce has a friendly manager at Both the Little Tokyo location and the new one at USC Village. Prices are a bit high for those delicious donuts, but the healthy food options are tremendous. Great place for a late lunch or brunch. :) read more

Five stars because I am always thinking about my next visit to Dulce, Combination of great coffee, pastries, service and food! The roti and donuts may be a little higher priced, but you can definitely taste the quality and freshness in their pastries. The most pleasant surprise about Dulce is their food. I have only tried their mango jicama salad and spicy korean cheesesteak sandwich. The salad taste super fresh and love their dressing. Everything about the sandwich was great from the kimchi to the bread. The sandwich also comes with a side salad. The food is very affordable. Will be trying the asian chicken salad today and I can't wait to try to their cakes in the future as well. read more

Wasn't the best expense so far but it got the job the job done so I guess that's a plus. Very limited seats and ok customer service probably won't be coming back read more

I'm pretty torn on this one. I had their Hong Kong milk tea the other day, and while it was sweeter than I wanted, still pretty damn good. However. I had a small iced latte from them yesterday, and it was hands down, the worst coffee that I have ever had. Other than the color and consistency, I could not have told you there was coffee in it. Baaaad. But the doughnut selection is beautifully curated and they have a great selection of drinks, so I'll be giving it a second chance. read more

I come to Dulce almost every single day. Pretty much the entire staff knows my name and exactly what I order, it's usually ready for me or being made before I even order - which is amazing. The service here is really incredible and I've never had any problems. If you're looking for a great modern coffee/tea shop with friendly people look no further. read more

If you're hoping to get work done here, don't come to Dulce. The music is overbearingly loud and the wifi does not work. Nice tables and lighting enticed me to come in, and the coffee prices weren't that terrible. But after committing $3.75 for a coffee and having found a spot to work, I discovered that the internet speed was less than 50kbps. I switched between Dulce, USC Secure, USC Guest, and Amazon's wifi, each of them were unusually slow and extremely high-latency. Ended up spending an hour there and getting no work done except for fiddling with network settings and waiting for 4mb PDF files that never finished downloading. read more

Music deafeningly loud, overpriced. Drinks and cake are good but not worth the price. Depending on worker that day, they can be quite rude. Nice to study if your eardrums can last read more

Fantastic donuts. Good cold brews. The Korean Cheesesteak is delectable - ask for it on White Bread!

always a staple for coffee, in the heart in the social/food hub on campus. the club sandwiches are classic, and the fries and hamburger are underrated favorites read more

Was craving a sweet drink and decided to stumble upon Dulce in USC village. From the beginning of the experience, it was awful. I ordered a matcha latte and they first gave me a milk tea. After kindly correcting them on what I ordered, they spitefully made my matcha latte with 99% milk. There was a faint matcha taste of any. Definitely not worth my money and will not be going back read more

I bought an entire cake but they didn't offer any plates, forks. I would like them to write congratulations on the cake, but they don't have that service either. A little disappointing... read more

I was excited to see a new coffee place pop up in the area that is not a Starbucks and not a Coffee Bean. Please note this review is for my first time visit, and I'll need to write an update after more visits. I didn't realize that they also have a location in Little Tokyo, which is why this place sounded familiar when I first saw it. I decided to order a Green Tea Roti, which was described as a bread like pastry with a cookie like top layer and cream in the middle. This pastry was around $3-$4, and is a pretty large size. I debated on getting a coffee to go with my pastry, but with coffees being around $5, which I guess is pretty standard-I decided that I didn't feel like spending around $10 for a coffee and pastry and decided to get a coffee another time. I thought the Roti was honestly just okay. I don't think I would order it again. It's too heavy, and in my opinion not delicious enough for all that extra weight. My friend got the hong kong milk tea, and said it was pretty good, but that she also noticed that it was poured from some kind of pitcher, which made it seem like it had been pre-made. For around $5 a drink, I wouldn't want something pre-made. I'll need to come back, and try the coffee for myself. Being in a college area, it would be nice if they had some kind of student special, or like a special combo for a pastry and cookie since their prices are a bit steep. read more

Amazing food (breakfast burrito!!) and amazing drinks. Friendly workers and drinks come out pretty quickly considering how busy they get. Love the environment as well. Only complaint is that sometimes they don't fill the drinks up all the way read more

its a lil pricey but everything in this village is. i love their pastries - have tried the green tea, original, blueberry roti and all taste amazing. the breakfast burrito is also really good and filling. def my go-to place to grab quick bfast. next to try on my list is their green tea donut! read more

Love their coffee and everything else! Good price and place .... love the donuts, salad and sandwiches! Great experience our third time coming around read more

Had the jasmine green tea latte. It was literally a jasmine green milk tea except warm because they said they couldn't put it on ice. And it was 4.75 for a cup half the size that you would get at a boba place. Y'all crazy for those prices on drinks. Yes many wealthy students willing to pay that but not I. I was scammed. read more

The staff was very nice and the order was hot and fresh. I got a breakfast burrito. It was very good. I also ordered a Masala Chai Latte and it was really good too. I recommend Dulce to anyone who wants to eat good food. read more

I love me some Dulce!! A little pricier drinks than Starbucks but the quality is definitely superior. The cold brew is my favorite and it has a ton of caffeine! Also the salads and breakfast burritos are delicious- and can be bought for under $10 unlike other USC village places. The staff is so friendly and they are always bumping the music. No complaints! read more
