Cafe Dulce - Pesto Chicken - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

So my partner brought me to the USC village to go have a coffee and we tried out "Dulce." They had food and other options that looked good. So I got their breakfast burrito with a Blueberry Matcha latte and both items were fantastic! The spicy mayo and ketchup were a good combo The ambience of this place was nice and simple for a school cafe. It does get busy though as people were coming for their coffee/ tea fix. The service was good too. read more

Tasty spot with food, drinks, and baked goods. Tried the blueberry matcha latte (5/5), strawberry matcha latte (5/5), breakfast burrito (5/5), and mango creme donut (5/5). A bit pricey but all delicious! read more

Can we say the two dudes working the registers were super friendly and helpful?! They greet you and don't rush you to order... knowledgeable and great energy. The korean steak sub I got was soooo good. The sauce was light, but not light on flavor, not too sweet and not too spicy. It comes with a side salad so didn't feel like the glutinous queen that I am. It's the prefect texture I like for beefs. And the baguette was fresh. The fruity pebbles donut has buttercream?!?!? Yes. And it was good ( Butthead vo*) lol Rose latte was perfectly balanced and just the right sweetness level. (Only comes hot fyi) Glad I stopped on the way home. I've been sitting on it but finally made the move to treat myself after a long work day. read more

Great drinks, food, and service!!! Love the Matcha Latte and Vietnamese coffee. Steak and bacon breakfast burrito was awesome

An overall really good food spot in the village! It gets pretty crowded here in the morning/afternoon hours so be prepared to wait in a line. I got the caprese sandwich and it was pretty good. The bread was toasted nicely and the tomatoes tasted so fresh and flavorful. I also liked that it came with a salad. It complemented the sandwich so well. I also ordered the Vietnamese coffee. It was okay. It's definitely not as strong as a traditional Vietnamese coffee but it gave me my caffeine fix. My only complaint is that this spot has limited vegetarian options. As someone who doesn't eat meat, this is a problem. If they expand their vegetarian menu past salads and caprese sandwiches, they'll be unstoppable! read more

I have always loved coming to Dulce in the USC Village for the drinks and the amazing atmosphere, and my most recent visit definitely secured its spot as my go to coffee spot in LA. I truly think it is a perfect place to get work done if you are around USC and need a calm yet productive place to work. All of their drinks are fantastic but I especially love the Matcha latte, which I most recently ordered, and their rose latte. The barista was very sweet and gave me recommendations on which pastries to try. They had a wide variety of pastries like speciality donuts and roti so it was hard to decide what to get. I got the blueberry roti, which was absolutely amazing and paired wonderfully with my Matcha latte. You are able to get 2hr parking validation if you visit Dulce, which is also pretty sweet! Definitely a place to add to your go to coffee spots in LA. read more

Food is good, but staff not all so nice.... I sat on the bar area for a minute while waiting for my food, keep in mind where I sat didn't say reserved and a girl that works inside with shaved side haircut took it upon herself to say with a loud voice, you can't sit there it's reserved while others that are sitting there with there laptops and don't work there haven't been told that! It's like people come spend money here and you don't even have the common decency to speak with manners in a lower tone and privately! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Their coffee and matcha is delicious and is a must get when I'm in the area. My personal favorite food item is their pesto chicken panini, the crunch and softness of the bread is phenomenal and the mango jicama side salad is the perfect complement to the sandwich. The line is usually long and many folks are waiting for their orders inside so it can be crowded and noisy, but despite that service is quick. I haven't had to wait more than 12 minutes for my order to be ready. Check it out if you're in the area, it won't disappoint. read more

Overhyped but not bad. I heard great things about their matcha latte and their breakfast burritos so I went and tried it. The burrito was tasty but it wasn't different from the rest. The matcha latte was just okay-- nothing to rave about. It was also on the pricier side. read more

Food: All of it was delicious, from the breakfast burrito to the pastries I loved it all. The breakfast burrito I got was dairy free but no need for cheese with the yummy chipotle sauce. Drink: If you want fresh earthy matcha this is the place. Personally I like a sweeter matcha but I think I am the odd one out with this spot. The latte on the other hand was amazing in my opinion. Service: Because I first ordered the matcha and wasn't the biggest fan the barista remade it no problem which was kind because I don't want to be that annoying person when there was a long line. That being said for how long the line was I got my pastured right away, drink too and food shortly after I ordered. Price: I got two pastries, a modified latte and breakfast burrito with added avocado plus a tip for $27 so I would say prices were good. Ambiance: Very cute and clean inside + outside seating area! read more

The matcha latte i got tasted good but wasn't anything super special. The breakfast sandwich, however, I would definitely come back for. It's by far the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. It was busy when I went even though it was drizzling so I assume it's even busier usually. I wish they had more seating but besides that, I had a fantastic experience. read more

As a student at USC, I'm so glad there's a Dulce at the Village. Their bakery is okay, but their blueberry matcha latte is bomb. It's not overwhelming and has the right mix of matcha and blueberry flavors. It's one of their most popular drinks, and I highly recommend trying it. I also tried their tuna apple sandwich, and it was really good too! The apple goes well with the tuna, which was surprising to me. There are seats outside the cafe, but it's usually pretty crowded there. This place is kind of expensive, so I would only visit once in a while. If you guys haven't tried it, you're missing out! The Village also has 2-hour free parking with validation! read more

One of the best matcha lattes I've ever had! I came to dulce on a Monday morning around 11:30 and there was a long line going out the front door. I waited for around 10 minutes to order and just 2 minutes to get my drink. I got the large blueberry matcha latte ($7) and it was so delicious. I like how the matcha is sweetened just to my liking, and the blueberry added a nice fruity flavor to the drink. They have some spaces to sit inside and plenty of outdoor spaces. I highly recommend this place for matcha lovers, and I wish I lived closer so I can come here every week. read more

I love this place! I have tried the matcha latte, breakfast burrito, and breakfast sandwich. While everyone recommends the breakfast burrito, I disagree because I found it to be bland and mediocre. However, I LOVE the breakfast sandwich! It is very flavorful and has the perfect amount of sauce that tastes similar to a hollandaise sauce. The eggs were cooked perfectly, with drippy yolks in the middle. I do wish this sandwich was a little bigger, but other than that it is a 10/10. I love the matcha here because it is the perfect amount of sweetness and pretty consistent in terms of flavor. However, I might not recommend it to someone who is really into strong matcha because it is pre sweetened and has a lighter taste--but for me this is perfect. The line is usually pretty long but is moves surprisingly fast, and the drinks come out even faster. The store is also cute inside and has a large selection of pastries. read more

Thank you Ian! I get my bday cakes there. They are the best..........,,.....so good .......................

* great coffee * amazing breakfast burritos * eye candy donuts and pastries * great salads * free validated parking in Los Angeles What more could you ask for in the middle of Los Angeles - heart of USC. The only flaw to this location is that there is always a line out the door - which is a testament to its amazing quality of drinks and food. When there's a line, there's a reason. When there's a line everyday every time, there's a reason. It's so crowded that it's annoying but that has nothing to do with its quality of coffee and food therefore a well deserved 5 star rating for dulce. read more

Cute little cafe on the USC campus. It surprised me because I usually don't expect much from campus coffee spots but this caught my attention. Look they have a pastry called a Dino egg. If that doesn't sell you then.....?! Anyway from what I gather, Dino egg is tapioca flour and spirulina giving it a soft but chewy texture. I LOVE this and wish I had gotten the plain one. I got the Dino churro which was sweet and fun but plain would have been great too. What also surprised me was the tea offerings. Most coffee spots give you matcha and maybe a green tea but that's it. Here they not only had matcha, but several flavors of matcha and a Hong Kong latte. Super impressed with this and am looking forward to coming back to try more. Service was speedy and I was in and out within 5 minutes. Parking: paid garage but 2 hours free validated at target or Trader Joe's etc Seating: indoor table and high top Wifi: yes Payment: card and tap to pay Vibe: cool cafe good for breakfast or lunch but not working (was fairly loud inside) Dress code: casual read more

Hands down one of the best cafes in LA - literally everything here slaps so hard: from donuts to salads to sandwiches and burritos to their drinks ‍ BIG chefs kiss My go to is always the breakfast burrito. The tortilla is always perfectly toasted and flaky, eggs are fluffy and smooth, and you HAVE TO ALWAYS get the salsa - it's the best part! Tangy, flavorful, fresh and just the perfect sauce for anything really lol The matcha is way too sweet for my liking but a lot of people seem to love it so Other recommendations/ my faves: - Korean steak sandwich - toasted brick toast - guava and cheese pastry IG: Spillingthe.beans read more

We were sitting in the outdoor plaza enjoying some live music, and I decided to get cookies and coffee to have while enjoying the concert. I picked up Insomnia cookies in the same plaza, but unfortunately they didn't have coffee. So I went into Dulce, which is really a popular spot. Although it was crowded, I didn't have to wait long. I ordered a hot brewed coffee and a hot latte for JJ. Service was fine and friendly. The regular coffee was good. JJ absolutely loved the latte! It was strong with great flavor... just right! He said it was so much better than Starbucks! Next time will be sure to try the pastries. Highly recommended! Also there is validated parking in the structure next to Trader Joe's. read more

This place closes at 8pm, but there's been a couple times where they closed earlier. Hours should be updated and service is lacking.

If you're here to try to premium matcha latte, look elsewhere. It tastes like watered down milk, and has no matcha flavor. The matcha is premade in a bulk liquid dispenser. That should have been the first red flag. Their hazelnut nut crumble is delicious though and not overly sweet. read more

My whole squad and I went to Dulce at USC Village. We all got the blueberry matchas with regular milk, and wow! We were pleasantly surprised. The matcha was delectable, on the sweet side, and the blueberry flavor was perf. On average, we rate the blueberry matcha a 9.2/10. And we are allll avid matcha lovers. We also got the ham and cheese croissant to share. It was room temperature. Would have been a stand out if toasted, but it was average. 7/10. Matchas came out very fast since they are premade and put into a tap, and we got the ham and cheese right away once we ordered at the register. Went on a Thursday at 11am. Pretty crowded but the line moves pretty fast. Would come back ! Would be 5/5 if they heated up their pastries. read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 The mango jicama chicken salad is to DIE FOR. I actually got recommended this from a friend and I really didn't expect myself to enjoy a salad this much. If this place sold the dressing I would buy a gallon of it. It is perfectly balanced - crunchy, salty, sour, sweet. The sweetness of the mango pairs so well with the sourness of the jicama. I thought I wasn't a fan of jicama until I tried this salad! The chicken is wonderfully seasoned and I loved the addition of pasta noodles in it so you get different textures. The portion is huge too and it tasted great the next day! I woke up excited to eat the rest lol. The breakfast burrito is also delicious, my bf said he didn't feel heavy after eating it which is rare for a breakfast burrito. He loved the creaminess of the eggs. The matcha is so delicious, but it's very sweet. It seemed like a popular drink as we saw many people like up just for it. The servers are all very nice. Helpful. The ambiance is chill, here's not much indoor seating nor room inside and a small area in the front so the line ends up extending outside. There always seems to be a line here. Overall, try the mango jicama chicken salad! I wake up craving it. Who would've thought! Matcha is also popular here. read more

The day started off gloomy but then I decided to see what the line was all about. I also heard people talking about this place last time I was here. So I checked out yelp and it seemed blueberry matcha latte was the go to drink. So I went and I am SO HAPPY I did. I can't explain the awesomeness that it is. The right amount of milk, matcha, and blueberry . This was my first and definitely not my last. The line was long and the place seemed busy but chill. The line moves super quickly so don't let that stop you and the customer service was awesome too. Over all if you want something to brighten your day, come to Dulce read more

Cafe Dulce - The brightness to my day. A Dulce blueberry Matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The first time I ever consumed anything from Dulce was around three years ago. Fun fact: I was actually on a date that I did not realize was a date until he asked me to go back to his place afterwards to watch a movie. Maybe I should've been tipped off by the fact that he paid for my iced matcha latte. In the moment, I was honestly just kinda hoping that I'd finally curated my vibe so perfectly that people couldn't help but feel compelled to give me free things. Today was not my first time getting the breakfast burrito at Dulce. I had gotten it a previous time with one of my roommates except they gave me bacon instead of sausage and I was feeling particularly lethargic that day so I didn't correct them. I hate bacon in general though, and the burrito was significantly better this time around with sausage. TIP: Get the iced matcha latte if you're feeling crazy in a bad way and get the iced BLUEBERRY matcha latte if you're feeling crazy in a good way. Like, if you want a drink that makes you want to twerk a little bit. But not too much. read more

Have ordered the Breakfast Burrito for pickup several times now, and it always tastes sooo good!! I believe their Breakfast Burrito is one of the bests in the area, and at an affordable price. Their blueberry matcha is also pretty good, would definitely rate it an 8/10. I've also tried their sandwiches which are all pretty good. You can not go wrong with anything on the menu!! read more

Came in on a late Saturday afternoon to try them out since I was in the area. I tried the iced dulce latte which has condensed milk. It tasted average, but I like that it wasn't too sweet. Prices seemed average for coffee shops in LA. The pastries in the case looked good but I didn't buy any. There is seating inside as well as outside in the shopping area. read more

I've been wanting to try Dulce for a long time and Dulce did not disappoint. Located in USC Village, this place was popping on the weekend. Locations are growing across SoCal, from Little Tokyo to Row Downtown LA, this place is a must-visit and really does live up to all the Yelp Reviews. There's coffee, sandwiches, donuts, salads, and even breakfast. I decided to go with the matcha latte and it was actually really really good. I was also able to substitute it with almond milk (there's also an oat milk option), which is always appreciated being lactose intolerant. The only thing I will note is that the small and medium sizes were almost the same amount of liters (see my attached picture), so I'm like is it really worth paying more? They didn't even really fill it to the top. But in any case, it was still really good lolol. read more

I love Dulce! The Honk Kong Milk Tea is legendary, the mini doughnuts are delicious, and the savory foods are really yummy! The only downside to this location is that it's so popular, which means the line is always so long. So, my tip is to go during less busy times or just brave the line -- everything at Dulce is worth the wait! Parking is super easy, though - just park in the USC Village parking garage. read more

Stopped by this cafe when I visited USC Village last week. The pastries all look amazing and they offer various coffee and tea drinks as well. I got a half dozen box of pastries and selected some of their well known roti, which is this fluffy circular bread. Also got a green tea donut to try. My favorites are the dino roti and the churro roti. Service was great. It was my first time visiting Cafe Dulce and the staff was very polite and patient in explaining the different pastries they carry at the store. Parking: there is an underground parking lot for visitors with 2 hr validation from majority of the stores in the plaza. There is also a target and trader joes in this same plaza so very convenient spot for one stop shop. read more

This bustling coffee shop/cafe is in the middle of the USC Village. Any time I'm near this spot, I love to stop by. Packed with students studying and great music, it definitely screams college hang. I got the matcha latte with oat milk and the apple pie donut: a soft sugar donut with a delicious apple cinnamon filling. My husband got the Fruity Pebble Donut for a good dose of childhood nostalgia. Service is decently quick, but considering the staff is constantly cranking out drink orders one after the other, you don't have to wait long. If you find yourself wandering the USC Village, this is a great spot to stop for a pick-me-up and some sweet treats. read more

If you're looking stay up for a couple of hours, the Vietnamese coffee here a Dulce will leave you bright eyed for some time. This is my go-to after going to TJ's for grocery shopping at USC University Village. My other go to here is the breakfast burrito. It's not great but it's good. Served with soft scrambled eggs, potatoes, spicy mayo, cheeses, salsa, onions with your choice of avo, bacon, or sausage. Since they're made to order, it can take as long as 30 minutes during peak morning times which USC is session or mid morning during the weekends. For a quick bite, their sandwiches take a shorter time to make or grab a donut, roti or pastry. Customer service here is friendly, though uninformative and unorganized during peak times with orders that come earlier for later orders. I learned it's best to ask how long it takes for orders to take (ie., breakfast burrito). read more

Dulce is all the hype! My friends have shared that I should experience the sweet goodness that is Dulce. I thought, why not! Be prepared to wait in line and wait for your meal. This is one of the most popular places to eat at at the USC Village. It does get packed, so I would have someone grab a table and chairs for you. My only thing is I wish there were more GF options. I did appreciate that they did have the tart and I can't wait to see more on the menu. read more
