The first time I went here I got an iced latte and it was sooo good. But the second time I went I ordered the same latte and it was terrible. It tasted like chalk and had a strange powder at the bottom. I tried stirring it up but it wouldn't mix and just made the chalkier taste even worse. I told the girl working and she said it was probably from the oat milk but I've never had that happen to me before. I went home to dump it out and the white stuff on the bottom of the cup would not come out read more

We have come here a few times for drinks and desserts recently. This place is very open and spacious with lots of comfy seatings, they open long hours everyday, so it's quite convenient for locals. I think they make very tasty drinks here, my favorites are green tea latte and frappe. I have tried some macaroons, they were OK, but I am never a fan of macaroons cause all flavors taste the same to me. The honey toast was so yummy, I have always liked toasts a lot though, will have to try all other flavors eventually. Shaved ice is perfect for summer times, I don't know about cheesecakes, we have tried a pistachio one, it was a bit bland. They also have sandwiches and grilled cheese for lunch or afternoon snacks, we have yet tried them but I would go for the grilled cheese sometime soon. This is a solid neighborhood spot for drinks and sweets, will definitely come here whenever I am not sweating on carbs and sugar. read more

Move over bar hopping, there's something called dessert hopping that is even more awesome! My bf has a huge sweet tooth, so we were just touring around the area looking for some sweet treats to try. To start off our morning, we decided to get some drinks here. We got the mango mojito and matcha latte. The mango mojito is pretty good if you like sparkly drinks! It's not overly sweet, and the mango tasted fresh. The matcha latte is good, although it was a bit too sweet for me. I personally prefer the mojito drinks here. Prices are reasonable. There's plenty of tables and chairs here, so it's great for studying or even catching up. Plenty of parking. Credit cards accepted. read more

Great drinks and teas. They also serve good coffee. They're friendly and there's place both for individuals and smaller groups.

I just left this place because the music is WAY too loud. I'm trying to finish a huge deadline and the reason we go to coffee houses is to think and focus. That is immensely hard to do when the music is blaring so loud from the speakers that I can't hear my own music through my headphones, almost like I'm at a club. So I came to Starbucks and the music is at optimal level- whirring in the background with peoples' voices and coffee machines. But not literally blasting everywhere. Prices-- they're too high. Lavender vanilla latte and Lavender milk tea taste amazing, as they should for nearly $6 and $5. I could suck up the high prices because the place stays open late. But when putting high prices together with loud, disruptive music, the experience becomes less tolerable. If I can't stay late and get into what I'm doing, I may as well go to Starbucks which is cheaper with lower music level. read more

Decent coffee and snacks, a touch on the pricey side. Their espresso is very bright and acidic, flavorful but a bit unusual. Tip - if you like your coffee/americano strong as is typical in most coffeehouses these days, order it with an extra espresso shot. We also split a strawberry cream waffle - this was actually pretty good, better than I expected. The waffle was rich and crisp, with some cocoa flavor. The room has plenty of tables and chairs, with an amusing number of signs stating various rules (a no laptop zone, no outside food, customers only, etc). Kind of reminded me of Singapore, with all of the rules posted everywhere. Borderline 3-4 star experience. read more

Location is easy to find in the Victory Center shopping center behind Ar.bys. Find this store off Sepulveda Boulevard East of Western Avenue and closer to the Lockness Avenue intersection (first signal east of Western Ave). Parking mostly available in the private lot with some street parking available on Lockness Avenue. Environment is spacious, warm and inviting and only available indoors. There is an abundance of group gathering spaces at this shop as well as free wifi for customers. Staff was professional, courteous and helpful with all of our questions. Food selection is more abundant than an ordinary coffee shop in that they carry pastries and make sandwiches too. The drinks we had were great as were the tiramisu and cheesecake we tried. The gluttons in us also tried the waffle sandwiches which were basically sandwiches pressed into a waffle iron. Though we were slightly disappointed the sandwiches were still warm and delicious on a cold night. WC Clean & spacious. Separate for ladies & gents. Overall this was a delicious experience and hope to be back to catch breakfast! read more

Dang this sucks. Was looking for some place late night to get tea and unfortunately this place was open. Crying inside while I drink this milk tea because I was expecting a solid drink having gone from the other caffe bene location near csulb. Sitting in my car looking at the 7$ milk tea I just paid for, dying inside. Btw the size of a large is equivalent to like a medium or grande size at starbucks. Place is spacious, not sure how to feel about the service felt an awkward vibe, but nice ambiance for a place to study. JUST EXPENSIVE AND REALLY SWEET DRINKS MAN read more

I'm all about supporting local businesses and this place is a treasure hidden in a dreary strip mall.

I really enjoyed my visit and more importantly it was great to get something sweet after a big meal that i just got done destroying that evening. #FeastAndBeastBish Anyways this spot is surprisingly inviting and more than welcoming to new comers. It has that Starbucks quality you wish was at Starbucks to be honest like for one its HUGE in there. I love all the space and the lovely lighting decor you got going on in there, it's definitely somewhere I'd like to hangout and hear all the weeks gossip i missed at work. Lol Very trendy spot. Price was reasonable and the energy was soothing. Thanks again guys! Till next time.... read more

Love this place. It's large too so you can come with several friends. The place is modern and cute. I ordered the misugaru, a grain drink. Something I havent had really since I was a kid but this was the grown up, more sophisticated version with crushed ice. Yum. Anyway, we already had dinner, so I was too full to get dessert and ordered this drink instead. Next time, I'll try one of their macarons or other coffee drinks. My friend ordered the affagato, espresso with ice cream which I'll probably try next time. The drinks are not cheap but you are paying for the cafe experience. There is a nice relaxed vibe here. You can bring friends, a date or come alone. I'll be back. read more

Solid working or studying spot! The wifi's improved -- despite the larger crowds, it still works quickly. Wifi is provided at the bottom of your receipt and changes everyday. The drinks are tasty and filling. Their portion sizes are bigger here. The food and cakes are on the pricier side for their quality. Cashiers and service are good. Not bad, not superb -- simply good. The tables are usually clean; sometimes you'd have to wipe them. The restroom is also clean. Parking: Now parking in this plaza can get crazy. Park towards the side street or the opposite plaza closest to Cafe Bene. read more

Great cozy cafe for studying or relaxing with friends! The prices for the food and drinks are overpriced and are subpar however :(

Early mornings are dead in this location. The Wi-Fi was OK but it was just me at 9am. There are probably 3 power sockets in this whole place so come fully charged. Breakfast croissant and coffee $5.50 was nothing to write home about. but the open plan floor space was relaxing. I couldn't be bothered to walk an extra 10 mins to Tea & Coffee Bean. This K-pop music is making me reconsider the walk! read more

I first tried Caffe Bene in Ktown for the pabingsu. Really solid shaved ice. Got excited that there's a Torrance location. We tried their mojito coffee and their multigrain coffee. I felt the mojito coffee tasted like full on syrup and reminiscent of bottled coffee in Asian grocery stores. Not worth the $7. The multigrain coffee was much better but just tasted like a protein coffee shake. read more

Cute Asian coffee shop. Everything has a bunch of carbs so if you're trying to cut carbs you might want to grab some chicken and then just a drink from here. They have cute presentation which probably makes everything taste better too. =) My husband likes the mojitos(the raspberry is his fave). Right now my favorite is the green tea frappe w 1/3 the powder. It's so good! The only down side is that if you want less sweet then you get less tea flavor. =\ I wish they could fix that. But even at 1/3 the flavor is still there. The strawberry cream cheese toast is good especially as a dessert if you want something a little less sweet. It's literally toast w cream cheese and strawberries. They don't make the macaroons or pastries in house but I've tried the duveyer macaroons at other places and they are really good! The berry tart/cake was good. I've been wanting to try the pistachio cheesecake. SKIP the black Forrest. It was dry and not worth the calories. They run a tight ship here. I like that. They have cute presentation to everything and it's always consistent. read more

Went to this place a couple of months ago. Menu might have been changed a little bit. This is a very cool, layback caffe where you can go to have delicious and unique drinks, waffles, breakfast items and sandwiches.

This place is a haven for college students who need a place to study. We walked in at night and lots of students had their work out and the atmosphere was calm and quiet. Very spacious cafe with tons of seating. Caffe Bene is said to have coffee beans grown around the world such as Ethiopia, Columbia, Papa New Guinea etc. And they serve lots of different drinks. They have menus laid out the whole counter detailing fresh sandwiches, gelato, fruit juice, tea juice, bagels, waffles etc. They have plastic models of select foods and drinks if you're curious to see what it looks like. This is my first time here so I kinda went big and got a Strawberry Shaved Ice Parfait and a chocolate Smores honey bread. The parfait was alright, I wish they added less of the ice and maybe more ice cream. The presentation looked exactly like the plastic models which is good. I thought I would get something that looks way off like fast food places. I think its a bit too pricey for over 10 dollars but mostly everything here is pricey than your average cafe. The chocolate Smores bread was very delicious, the chocolate/melted smores complimented the bread in every bite. It costs around 8 $ I believe. Great place, a bit pricey, great presentation on the food and drinks. read more

The place itself is pretty big lots of seats but can fill up. The offer WIFI and no outside food as indicated with signs all over the place. They offer waffles, Gelato, drinks, and even sandwiches. Overall a nice place to chill and hangout with friends or study. I'd probably come back. read more

My friend took me here to study. The food was good but in my opinion, it was over-priced. Food: I ordered a sandwich and coffee.The Sandwich was tasty but it totally was not worth the amount I paid for it, and the coffee was really acidic and was not good at all. If I were to come again I would definitely try their desserts because they get high reviews from them. Service: The servers were fine. They weren't terrible or anything, but I felt like the food took longer than it should have considering there was barely anyone in the store (we went semi-early in the morning) and there was one worker that was barely doing anything the whole time. Also kind of unrelated but the restroom is weirdly cold. (As in there is a definite temperature difference which was unnerving.) The free Wifi was really fast and easy to use, but expires every 2 hours and you have to put the password back in Ambiance: They have a clean and spacious environment which was nice, but the music they were playing was super droning and LOUD. I was listening to a video explanation on my laptop with earphones and I could hear the music over it. read more

Basically got kicked out because we were taking too long to order when I was looking at the menu on my iPad. I told the lady "I am looking at your menu" as she kept repeating we could not be there without ordering.

Thoroughly impressed with this cafe! They have so much to offer such as sandwiches, bagels, desserts, teas, coffees, smoothies, and gelato. I personally went there later in the evening. I purchased a hot ginger twist tea and 6 macarons for my husband and I to try. I like unique flavors and he likes original flavors. I tried the Earl Grey, Coffee, and Blueberry Lavender. They were some of the best tasting and softest melt in your mouth macarons I have ever had. I want to return and try their coffee and my husband wants to try their tiramisu. We were just stopping in, but they have a huge space and people had their computers and other devices and were working or relaxing. Seemed like a cool atmosphere. The parking can be tough to find a spot during peak hours because it is in a shopping center with many other establishments. read more

Today I went here with my friends and ordered a strawberry ice parfait and it tasted good. But when I came to pick up the ice parfait the worker accidentally tipped over the whole thing and it spilled on my hand. All she did was stare at me for a few seconds and didn't even hand me napkins while she was cleaning up after herself. I had to ask her for a napkin myself and she did not even say sorry to me. I feel she was being very unprofessional. read more
