Bought a pure yogurt but the yougurt is just milk in a slush. Taste bland. For 8 bucks. Too much for a price not worth it. Quality is not good. Did not deliver as advertised. read more

Nice place if you're a student or someone needing a quiet place to work or study. Seems too much of a library type environment for the average person wanting to hang out with friends and have a snack. Counter staff are OK and indifferent, devoid of emotion. The Gelato is yummy and so are the cakes, but WAY overpriced! Parking spaces are limited so you may have to park in the street. Just ehh overall. read more

This is my go to study spot. Lots of seating and some outlets. I have an old computer that needs to be charged whenever I use it so being next to an outlet is essential. I would say there's about 7 tables that have access to an outlet. Ambiance is nice. They play chill, classical, instrumental music. You have to purchase something to gain access to the Wifi (printed on your receipt). I have tried their Honey Breads. My favorite is the Strawberry Cheesecake Honey Bread. I love their Green Tea Frappe. I try to stay away from coffee so this is the perfect tasty drink for me. Cons of this place: Some of their seating is a little awkward. Tables are sometimes too small or short. The wood furniture gets uncomfortable after long study sessions. read more

This is a spacious coffee shop in Torrance that is excellent for working and grabbing a coffee or some dessert. I went here around 4pm on a Tuesday to wrap up some work while waiting for a friend and ordered the Misugaru (multigrain) latte. For $7+ it's a bit pricey but decent, not too sweet, though they didn't really fill the drink all the way, but I trust it's close to 16oz. It has a bunch of grains like barley, black soybean, brown rice, black rice, and black sesame mixed in, with milk to complete the drink. I would've expected a bit more flavor but the drink is fine. The seats are not really ergonomic for working but there is plenty to choose for some quick work. read more

They close at 10. Went in around 9:50pm. Ordered Misugaru Latte, guy said he cant take order because they close in 10 minutes. Why? Put a last call time by your door. read more

Great place to enjoy some premium coffee in a nice casual setting. This is an ideal place to get some work done or catch up on some light reading. Wish the prices weren't so high! A bagel costs $6.25 which I had to decline. read more

This is one of the go-to spots for college students living in the south bay. That being said, during the week in the evenings especially, seating can be extremely limited, and a good amount of the tables do not have access to the outlets. The tables that do get taken quickly. If you are coming here to study, there are tables that come to socialize, and though there is a no laptop area specifically for that, they do often sit among the tables of students, but throw your headphones on and turn on the noise cancellation, I know I have had to many times. As for the drinks and food, their drinks are pretty basic, not the best i've ever had but also not bad. Their food can be on the expensive side but if you're hungry, the sandwiches are delicious. I will say, if you are not familiar with korean style sandwiches you may find even the savory sandwiches to be sweet due to the mustard seed "sauce" found on most of them, but it's what makes them so good! read more

Came in around 9:20ish with a wooden sign that said closed but a sign that said open til 10pm. There were people inside so I walked in and asked a worker and they said yes they close at 10pm. When I tried to order, they said the kitchen was closed and that all food items not being served. (We came for the dessert) Employees did not seem to want to serve us and made the experience very off putting. read more

Horrible service. Awful attitude. Do not recommend. They were an hour away from closing and they took upon themselves to alter my order so that they can close faster. It's such bad customer service. read more

Service could be better. I have gone a couple of times as it is one of the few cafes that are open past 5 and I usually go to study. There is nothing special about the service and baristas have never really given a smile. Once there was a baseball game that I believe the owner was playing on the tv in the lobby, but the calm environment soon became chaotic as the game went on and I was disturbed from my work (people cheering and loud talking even after the game had finished) . Long story short, I would appreciate a more welcoming environment. read more

It 9:45 and im outside and they are closed. I called 5 mins before arriving and they said i had 10. Till they closed. Furthermore, they staff does understand what your asking them. I asked if they are still serving ppl. She like we close at 10pm. But my question was if they are still taking order but couldnt comprehend the question How do you go against your hours and don't understand question about your wrong doings? This the second time this happens. So the staff is used to close more then 15 minutes early read more

this place has hands down the best ham and cheese croissant and strawberry matcha. i would say it's a little more pricey but so worth it!

Caffe Bene is a cute cafe with lots of space to work or meet up with friends. They have a large variety of treats and drinks. My daughter wanted a mango smoothie, and I was craving a sweet treat. I ordered her mango smoothie and got this huge banana and walnut honey bread. The mango smoothie was made quickly, but it took a little while for my banana and walnut honey bread. The mango smoothie was really bad. It tasted really artificial and just terrible. Both my daughter and I couldn't even take a second sip. But man o man, the banana and walnut honey bread were terrific! It was warm, sweet, moist, and delicious! I would definitely come back for more. I would be open to trying a coffee, but I would avoid fruity drinks. read more

This is a hard no for me. Sorry, I took one sip and didn't swallow it at first as the texture was weird and then when I finally did, it was odd. I took another sip (this time I mixed it) and still gross; overly sweet, sour, artificial... just plain nasty. I threw it away as the drink was not drinkable... I don't like to waste money but I also don't want to drink something this is straight up disgusting. I didn't eat anything here but if their coffee is any indication of their food... yikes. There were a couple of people in front of me and one paid in cash. There was only one worker and she was taking orders and also making the orders and she did not wear gloves nor wash her hands... so, that's also something that was concerning. Will not be returning back. read more

I was excited to get a matcha banana cream latte , unfortunately it did not look like I was expecting no cream top or banana. I tried it and taste of banana was one sip and just all matcha , still good but a little disappointing . Also worker who took our order seemed like she didn't want to be there maybe it was just an off day for her. Honestly won't be coming back but glad I got to at least try it read more

I don't usually come here because I prefer grabbing my coffee through a drive-thru but Coffee Bean and Starbucks were both busy. Got here at 9 am when they're supposed to be open. Wooden sign on the door still says closed. I poke my head in to ask if they're open and both employees are like "no, we open at 9." I'm like.. it's 9 and they go "okay sure then". And then they both proceed to go back to ignoring me. I put in my order at the mobile kiosk and the drink gets made after maybe 5 minutes. No issue here. Coffee is a 3, but service is a 1. Almost as bad as the Yankees defense. Not coming back. read more

We got Oreo cookie gelato and "Oreo cookie cheesecake". What we ended up with was Oreo cookie gelato that taste like a lot of coconut was used in making it, and instead of Oreo cookie cheesecake, we got Oreo cookie crepe cake. All of this was because the person taking the order was acting like they didn't want to be at work. They took the order and gave 1 gelato when we asked for 2 and gave crepe cake instead of cheesecake. Both were not bad but wasn't exactly what I asked for or was expecting. Someone else behind the counter asked was everything ok and we said no we were supposed to get 2 gelato's so they scooped us a second gelato and charged us for it. Everything there is expensive. For 2 gelatos and 1 crepe cake that we received cost $30. Thirty dollars for 3 things and bad service. This could be a really great cafe if the workers were pleasant. A lot of people were eating and working on there laptops even tho it was really warm inside of the cafe which was surprising because it was hot outside and they serve gelato so I would think it would be cooler. Doubt I will come back here , because I would like friendly service and to get exactly what I ordered read more

A Korean cafe that gives off great study vibes and a wide selection of drinks + food to keep up your energy. I tried the hot misugaru latte since it was advertised as one of their classics and a healthy multigrain drink. The drink is slightly sweet with the barley and grain flavor standing out as the most prominent flavors. It's definitely a drink worth trying if you're looking to expand your palette. If you need to charge your devices, I highly recommend sitting against the wall because none of the center seating has access to outlets. Also, I studied here for about 6 hours and the peak time is around 2-4 pm so if you want to find seating I would recommend coming before or after this time frame. read more

Although caffe bene is really cozy, and a good environment to study in.. it does have its pros. I do wanna start off with their drinks being good, the interior is huge and lots of tables to study in but.. it's not ideal for studying in often Since they make u pay for wifi essentially u have to buy a drink for the password which will be given on the reciept. And their drinks are pretty expensive as well- paid $10 for a large matcha latte w one shot of espresso. Also I had almost an 1 hr having trouble signing into the wifi I was getting really annoyed and impatient but eventually I did. Also when I was studying there the AC wasn't on- it was super hot and made studying even more frustrating for me. Overall I wouldn't really come back unless I really had to since I live 2 mins away from this place , I feel like Starbucks is the way better option since free wifi!!!! And THEIR AC IS ALWAYS ON. Caffe bene is good however for food and their drinks but I wouldn't suggest studying here unless u don't mind buying overpriced drinks . read more

Went here for a post-dinner dessert drink. The cafe is located at the end of a plaza packed with restaurants. Parking can be pretty difficult especially around lunch and dinner time. Inside, there is a large space with plenty of tables and chairs that you can eat/drink/work at, definitely has a nice calm ambience to it. On the side opposite from the tables there is the ordering area where you can order pastry, ice cream, coffee, tea, waffles, pancakes... honestly there are a lot of options, you can probably find SOMETHING you're interested in for sure. We ordered the lemon mojito (mocktail) since neither of us wanted anything heavy and the drink was pretty solid, nice and sweet and sparkly. The price for the drink was a bit much at $6.50 for something that's half ice, but it was definitely a good drink. read more

i love caffe bene !! so good and such a vibe yesssss free wifi too . they can be understaffed at times but the food is worth the wait

This is a really nice looking place. I like the simplicity, the environment and the music. I got a frappe and a pastry (See picture attached) which both were delicious. Now here is my issue with this place, they have young people at the cashier and most of them have a bad attitude, from the cashier to the person who gave me the drinks. The only person who was nice was an Asian girl who gave me my pastry. If management was able to address this issue and the staff was able to understand the importance of customer service then this place would be a 5 star place without a doubt. read more

The atmosphere was amazing, very beautiful interior. I ordered a teriyaki chicken sandwich and a mocha, the mocha was done quite a while before the sandwich though. If you order a sandwich that has bean sprouts, I recommend ordering it with light bean sprouts because dear god, I got about half way through that sandwich where most of the chicken was gone already and it was like biting down on a nest of worms, there were so many bean sprouts it was a decent sandwich though. A little pricey, but pretty good! read more

Beware! This location overcharges and doesn't honor their displayed prices. Ordered the strawberry ice parfait as displayed. Was charged an extra $2 on top of the price displayed. I asked one of the workers why the price charged didn't match the price displayed. She responded that it was because it included the tax, which didn't make sense because there was an additional tax charge. I asked a different worker why the price charged was different and she said it was always $18.55 even though I showed her the sign. She said there was nothing she could do since the manager wasn't there. That's unfortunate because food, service, & ambiance tend to be good and this time it was otherwise. The staff need to get their stories straight and management needs to honor their displayed prices & train the staff on how to do the same. read more

Misugaru frappe with so many ice chunks I ordered misugaru frappe and they didnt even grind the ices properly. I had about 15 pieces of ice that wasnt even touched by the blender blade. What a shame. Also the frappe didnt have enough milk in it so it was really bland and underwhelming. They charged this for $8.15. Very disappointing experience. read more
