This is a nice hidden gem in the city of Vernon. Went there not too long ago had a very good Matcha drink, but the star of the show was their pastries and their breakfast sandwiches, the employees were very nice and helpful. The restaurant itself is small, but they have a nice little patio to sit outside. will definitely be coming back. read more

Coffee fix before Smorgasburg event!! Ordered an iced blueberry matcha latte with oat milk (extra $0.75 for oat milk) and it was amazing! It tasted like cereal almost and I thought the flavor was so unique. Other people in my party also ordered it and they loved it too. Would definitely come back for this drink! read more

Cafe Dulce - Blueberry matcha latte - Cafes Near Me - Vernon, California

As far as flavor goes, I didn't think it could get any better than the Little Tokyo location. I got myself a bacon breakfast burrito and when I tell you that it knocks the socks out of the other Dulce location, it is an understatement. The flavor was on another level. The bacon, cheddar, scrambled eggs, pico de gallo were evenly distributed and the hot salsa on the side took it to the next level. The burrito was fresh and delicious. I coupled my burrito with a hot blueberry matcha. Thank you staff, they are quick, professional and amazing. Can't wait to come back and get other things off the menu. read more

My favorite lunch spot. The people are quick and never mess up my food. Chinese chicken salad is my favorite followed my spicy korean bbq sammich. read more

Great food and great service! I get the cranberry walnut salad with tuna. Blueberry macha is also delicious! read more

One of my favorite spots. I've never had a sandwich I didn't like but recently had the Korean Cheesesteak and I fell in love. The matcha is delicious, perfectly sweetened. read more

Loving the Peanut Kale Salad. I add chicken or Tuna a couple times a week. Great sandwiches too and I love the macha .

I love Dulce and love this location! It's very calm and peaceful inside and the staff is very kind. I always get a matcha and I drink way too many matcha's now bc of Dulce. I also had a breakfast burrito and they were so nice to accommodate all the changes i wanted (no onion or cilantro, egg white -- all of that). 100% my favorite place in LA. read more

We came in on a Monday morning to grab some quick brunch. We each got the breakfast burrito and shared a strawberry cream donut. The breakfast burrito was hefty and I couldn't finish it. I got mine with sausage instead of bacon and it was so good. The salsa that came with it was a little spicy, but had the perfect kick. For drinks, we got the iced Vietnamese coffee and the jasmine tea latte. The jasmine tea latte was sooo good. You can really taste the jasmine tea and it was lightly sweet--just the way I like it. I definitely wanna try their matcha bar next time as well as their other pastries. There was ample outdoor seating and parking! read more

Great food! I was pleasantly surprised with the breakfast burrito. It was.fresh and tasty. I will come back soon.

They have the best breakfast burritos and the perfect salsa to pair with them. Just skip on the pastries, there super oily. read more

We swing by Cafe Dulce as a lunch option pretty often! Their sandwiches and salads are so good and honestly pretty decently priced! Their baked goods are also really tasty like the fruity pebble donut hole. Also don't skip out on the blue berry matcha latte! read more

Love it! Super cute cafe with pretty quick service. Small but novel selection of pastries, drinks, breakfast burritos, and salads that are on par with pricing for the area. Out of the green tea lattes the blueberry matcha and matcha lattes are sweet, the Cha Cha one is not. I really like the matcha latte and green tea roti that I had and my friends like the breakfast burrito and the steak burrito. The building is nondescript from the street and the area isn't great, but you can park in front of the cafe and it is kept clean. Also, they have no straws. read more

Service, drinks, and food were great. The matcha is good and sandwiches are fresh. I will definitely come again.

Service has gone exponentially better! I appreciate the baristas knowing my go-to order and having it ready before I even walk in. Just goes to show that they pay a lot of attention to their customers. read more

The Asian chicken salad is so fresh & it comes with a lot of chicken. My go to coffee is the dulce latte. It's always pretty busy so I usually call in to pick up. Big outdoor seating area, good place to hang out or even study. Good parking lot with other good restaurants around. read more

I usually like this place and they do a good job on the food. Today I found a dead bug smashed into the lettuce for my salad... was the lettuce not rinsed properly? Either way it killed my appetite read more

Pesto Sandwich, top notch & pair with the Dulce Latte iced. Fast service and great outdoor seating.

This place looked inviting with the woodstyle indoor menu and glass walls so I had to check it out. Was warmly greeted and asked what was their most popular drink. They said the blueberry matcha latte so I went with that, iced. I also got a little dessert and tried the Mocha bun which looked like a rounded giant macaron. The blueberry matcha latte was pretty good and I definitely tasted the blueberry flavor. I also enjoyed the mocha bun, which I initially thought was mochi, with a nice mocha filling. They have a good variety of drinks and other dessert options so I'll probably return to try them out. read more

So, because I seem to always get shorted on my drink when I buy it iced, I asked for an iced latte with no ice. The girl told me that I would still be shorted and not compensated for the lack of ice. She said hot and iced are made the same way so it wouldn't be like she's giving me more. I'm confused. Does this happen everywhere? I don't get coffee drinks that often so maybe that's why this seems weird to me. I'll try asking this at other places before I decide to come back here or not. The Duclce Latte was delicious though! read more

This place is okay. I wouldn't recommend it to a person that loves coffee. If you're not a big coffee drinker don't do it. You'll definitely be disappointed. If you enjoy more of the "taste" of lightly watered coffee/lattes then definitely have at it. Service is okay as well. Ambiance is chill they have outdoor shared seating. read more

Update for the kale salad. TLDR - ask for dressing on the side for their salads! I always order the kale salad here. It comes already dressed with just the right amount of dressing (or at least it used to), so I never had to request for it on the side. I recently started to notice inconsistencies with the dressing, but never to the point where it was inedible. However, today my salad was SO OVERLY dressed that I could barely eat it. There were literally globs of the dressing at the bottom of the container. The dressing is pretty sweet so there was no way I could eat this salad. If I hadn't taken it to go, I definitely would have returned it. Since I had no other alternative for lunch, I ate what I could by dabbing off the dressing on a napkin. So sad :( read more

Food was delicious, sat outside (90 degrees but the shade and ambiance made up for it. I ordered the Club sandwich with no bacon but it still ended up being on there. When i took it back, the girl at the front was amazing and had it remade for me. I appreciate you girl, thank you! Telling everyone about this place read more

The service was excellent. The coffee and burritos were to die for. We even posted about it.

I came here on my lunch break, and it was my first time after hearing my coworkers raving about this place. I had heard of their Little Tokyo location before, and tried their pastries when someone brought them for potluck at work. Today I ordered the pesto sandwich, which they were generous with the avocado and the french baguette bread tasted fresh and perfectly crunchy. It also came with a side salad. I also got their iced matcha latte, which was perfect for today's weather! Everything tasted fresh, and I'm so glad it's so close to my work. read more

I like this place because of the matcha and their food. Unfortunately I came today and asked for less ice and they cheaped out on my drink and didn't bother to fill it all the way. As it is I'm paying 6 dollars for a reg size so I'm expecting my cup to be filled up. I then had to ask the worker to add ice since they decided to not fill up my cup. I hope this is not how they always operate. read more

Dulce has been a long-time favorite place of mine. I've been to all Dulce locations and I'm pretty biased towards the Row DTLA spot. But the Vernon one is actually the quietest out of all of them and the closest to where I work. I usually try to avoid the peak morning and lunch rush so that I don't have to wait too long. And just a warning that you'll probably be fighting for parking spots if you're here during the lunch rush. But what more can I say? Dulce never disappoints me. I never drink tea over coffee but I can't help but to get their blueberry matcha latte every time I go. Although the donut/pastry selection isn't as varied and regularly re-stocked as the other locations, I like that there's still a solid offering of all the classics. I do think the service could be a bit quicker but I noticed that it's not really anyone's fault -- they're understaffed a lot of the time. I highly recommend trying as many of their donuts as you can! Thankful that there's a location near my work so that I can continue to be a regular. :) read more

They have a bad attitude here. Came in, waiting forever to be called for 1 sandwich. They set my order next to the pick up at the register. The guy read the ticket didn't say anything. They called it 5 minutes later and then rudely said "we called this a long time ago" I'll while I sat watching and waiting for them. Poor customer service read more

You have to be the first to be a trendsetter Thanks Dulce for opening up in vernon. Great coffee and service. If you are in the area please check them out and support the coffee and its people. Dulce trains their crews well and they know how to serve up the coffee. read more

The salads, sandwiches, and staff are delightful. I made an annoying request for an extra chopped salad and they accommodated to make it exactly how I like it. I always appreciate good service. read more

Cafe Dulce - Asian Chicken Salad - Cafes Near Me - Vernon, California

3/17/21 - First off let me say that I love this place and the dulce latte is a must try for any coffee lover! I'm a regular and will continue to come back! But.... this is maybe the 2nd or 3rd time I've come here when the guy and girl duo are working together and I just have to say that the Only bad thing about the place is that it might be understaffed the guy usually does little to no work while the poor girl is running around doing it all during a rush and there's a line out the door. Waited almost 10 minutes for ONE drink :/ read more

I love this place! The staff is always so friendly and the food/drinks are so good. My favorite thing to get here is the breakfast burrito and the cafe Dulce latte. read more

Great place to go for bougie and "healthier" food on a budget. Pretty much everything I've tried has been really fresh and flavorful with the exception of a few of the gimmicky donuts. The salads, sandwiches and breakfast burrito are my go-tos. The strawberry jam donut is also good. I'd steer clear of the children cereal donuts. read more

YES Finally after months of being teased from when the first sign was released is Cafe Dulce in Vernon finally open. Everything tastes like it was made with care and love from their breakfast burritos to their green tea doughnuts. My favorite item here by far is their Blueberry muffin that apparently they only make here. The coffee could be a little bit stronger but nonetheless still very good and reasonably priced. Staff is friendly as well. This place does get busy during the lunch hours so be mindful of that. I like to come in during the off hours so I can grab my coffee and go. Great seating area outside shared with Jersey Mikes so this location is great to just grab some fresh air and get a good coffee before getting back into the craziness of the world. 5/5 will visit again. read more

If you work around this area you know there aren't many good options for lunch, so this place gets 5 stars from me! I ordered their pesto chicken sandwich and my sister ordered their kale salad. I also got their blueberry matcha latte to try along with some doughnuts to share between my sister and I. The sandwich comes with a baguette, but it wasn't ready yet so I settled for regular white bread. I was fine with this and even happy to know that they bake their baguettes fresh, I'll be back again to try it with the baguette! The blueberry matcha latte reminded me of a Vietnamese dessert I've had before, definitely unique. I've never been to a place that served this kind of flavor latte before! Fruity, creamy, and delicious! My sandwich was good but not amazing, it came with a salad and I was surprised at how fresh the ingredients were. My sisters kale salad was so good, I will be ordering that for sure the next time we go. I am not usually a fan of kale or salad, but it was so good that I prefer it over my sandwich. We ordered the oreo doughnut to share and it tasted like a regular doughnut and a hint of oreo from the crumbs on top. Prices are slightly above average, but the food is pretty good and so are the drinks. I would recommend this place for anyone who works around here! read more

I miss the sit in experience, their music playlist was always on point. Coffee is good, breakfast burritos are really good. Must have with the salsa. Doughnuts are a bit pricey, but they're totally worth it. Especially the Hazelnut Peanut Crumble. And please don't compare to Winchell's. Was hesitant to try their Dulce Latte, but I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't too sweat, well balanced. Glad I tried it. read more
