    Mango Crepe Cake
    Jon A.

    The family and I stopped into Caffé Bene after grabbing food at Arby's, curious to give it a try. Their self-ordering kiosk was a little confusing since not all pastries were listed, but the counter staff was very kind and helped me place my order at the register. We decided on the Banana Walnut Cake and the Mango Crepe Cake. The Banana Walnut Cake was a letdown--it felt more like a thick slice of Texas Toast than an actual cake. It was warm and tasted fine, but for $13 I expected something more substantial, like a pound cake. The Mango Crepe Cake, on the other hand, was delicious. It had a light, cheesecake-like texture with delicate layers and was easily the better of the two. Overall, while the service was friendly, I don't see myself returning here for dessert. The prices felt too steep for what was offered.

    Iced Blueberry Matcha (Regular Size)
    Robin H.

    I got their iced blueberry matcha and it was surprisingly really good. The sweet dried up blueberries with the matcha went so great together and I don't even like blueberries all that much. I honestly wanted to try something new and a blueberry matcha isn't seen everywhere. Price point for a regular was about $7.25 which felt a bit on the pricer side but overall, the taste came through. The service here was friendly and welcoming. Ambiance was also great, there's quite a lot of seating inside and welcoming for big groups to come by.

    Taro latte
    Alan B.

    Came here for a meeting on a Saturday night and the lot was packed. There were other stores and shops and I had to wait a few to get a spot. The place inside is huge and a lot of students inside studying or working on something with their laptops. What's funny was I thought this is Coffee Bean that's why I picked the place and when I got there I realized it's a Korean knock off lol. I ordered the taro latte. It was not too sweet but really hit the spot. It's a cross between coffee and dessert. We were able to find a spot to practice our presentation but felt all the tables were bunched up together so it's hard to get privacy. Overall: they had food/ice cream/desserts on the menu. We just came from dinner so none of us were able to try anything. Might be back again to try some items on the menu.

    Nice spacious place with a nice seating arrangement. The worst is parking in this plaza ... but I would say it was totally worth it !! They have a variety of teas, coffees and desserts. They also have a few lemonade mojito options & sandwich options that are on an amazing baguette. If you need a place to study, or want to meet up with a few friends.. this is your place! If you are a sweet treat person, you definitely need to add Caffe Bene to your list of late night sweet treat stops YUM!!

    I've always tried the Misugaru drink. And absolutely love it. Will definitely need to try their food and other drinks.

    Cheesecake W/ Dark Chocolate on top
    Michelle K.

    I met a couple of mu friends here to do a bit of catching up. I really wanted to try their pumpkin cheesecake but they didn't have any. So I tried the other cheesecake they had instead that had a hard layer of dark chocolate on top. I inhaled the cheesecake and left the chocolate. Lol! I also ordered a mocha frappe. It was yummy. The area we sat in was not as cozy. The chairs were so low that I felt like it was made for kids. Lol! If you don't have good knees, it's a really bad place to sit. The parking lot is pretty much always busy so be patient. If you come after dark, there is barely any lights on in the lot so be very careful.

    Cafe Bene in Torrance is my go-to spot for a relaxing and enjoyable Saturday. Whether I'm running errands or just want to unwind, Cafe Bene has something for everyone. The friendly staff, delicious food, and comfortable ambiance make it a perfect place to spend a few hours. I can easily spend hours getting work done with their amazingly delicious Cafe Saigon Coffee in hand. If you're in the area and looking for a comfortable place to chill, I highly recommend dropping by Cafe Bene as soon as possible. I would like to point out that parking in the shopping center is extremely poor, and the parking spaces are very close together. Additionally, the 30-minute markers on the parking curbs are completely ineffective because they are never checked according to the businesses in this center.

    Great food! The cafe looked spacious and seems like a place to go for doing work. The service was ok not too friendly, just direct. But the food was a great price and very tasty. Will come back and try the drinks.

    Empty.....
    Oliver T.

    Would give it zero Stars if given the option. Walked in at 10am on a weekday, only one gentleman working on his laptop near the front window, otherwise empty. No Good Morning nor May We Help You from the two employees working the counter. Pricey Menu, poor service, needless to say we all WALKED OUT and drove over to Creme Pan. We just thought we'd try someplace different this morning..... Anyone who has been to Creme Pan knows their service and broad menu of fresh items sell out daily! Prompt, kind and courteous service confirms their manager has trained them well. Save the trouble of Caffe Bene's cramped parking lot too. Poor Service, Poor Parking, pricey menu....none and done.

    Reservation area

    The good: I tried the s'mores honey brick toast with charred marshmallow and an Oreo, a peach mojito refreshment (non-alcoholic) and a liege Belgian waffle with salted caramel gelato on top. I liked the crispy outside of the marshmallow and the soft gooey inside. The presentation of all the items were great. The interior of the shop is massive and has designated areas for laptop use or no laptop use (conversation areas). Lots of people were inside studying or working. The front left space was designated for reservations and groups. They also sold macarons and crepe cakes. I liked the peach drink that bad chunks of fruit at the bottom and fresh mint. The bad: They have croissant sandwiches but it seems like they use Costco croissants or some type of store-bought croissants. I suspect that the waffle is also pre-packaged and then just heated up. The drink was almost $8 which I thought was expensive because it was bubbly soda with syrup and a few fruit chunks. There's no outdoor dining. The interesting: I've been to a Cafe Bene in two other locations but their menus differ.

    Caramel Latte Macchiato with whipped cream (.75 cents extra)
    Stephanie G.

    This place is an amazing place for those who like to study in coffee shops! It was quiet and calm even though there were quite a bit of people in there. The baristas were very warm and welcoming which made ordering easy and relaxing. The coffee, at least for me, was smooth. I liked the Caramel Latte Macchiato more than the Vanilla Latte. We also tried a Ham and Cheese sandwich without knowing what it had inside. To my surprise it had what I believe was pickled onion! I enjoyed the flavor, but maybe next time I'll order with less onion just because I'm not used to it- yet! The cheese on top of the sandwich was my personal favorite. Their food menu had a fair amount of options so I don't doubt this will be my last time here!

    Yes. We have tables close to electrical outlets.

    Yes this place is a haven for students. Wifi is available. I took my daughter last night to study and found several students with their laptops doing their work. There are several tables and different setting areas for groups or individuals. I am…

Exactly as advertised on Google Maps I ordered the Chicken Parmesan Sandwhich and a Diet Coke. They give the soda in the can so I recommend asking for a cup with ice. The food arrived pretty quickly and it looked stunning. The bread was toasted and had a nice brown color. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the crust was not flaky or falling off. The tomato sauce was served in a cup to the side. Which I really loved. The cheese was melted and mixed with the chicken so you tasted the sauce, chicken and cheese with every bite. I would come here again. P.S. I am always wary of getting chicken Parmesan sandwhiches because of the sogginess. Sauce on the side allows you to add it as you need, preventing the sandwhich from becoming soggy.

I sadly never got my lemonade as they didn't give it to me and by the time we got our order I completely forgot about it. The chocolate chip was good it is topped with sea salt. The sandwiches though were not as good as I thought they were going to be. We did add in provolone cheese, but I didn't enjoy the flavoring of the apple butter and that the chicken was chunky. I'm wondering if I'd like a tuna sandwich from here instead. This place has indoor and outdoor seating- I did notice most people chose to sit outside. The customer service was alright. We would not be getting that sandwich again and possibly not visit again especially for the price.

And the food from here was expensive in taste, and not costly either. What I want to eventually say, is that this place has unique pizza flavors, excellent service, moderate prices, and eye-catching ecore that makes the wait for the take-out order seem less, cause one can distract themselves with the cartoons on the wall. Preapre the brick pizza oven a review will be baked that honors this place with robust prose. I was celebrating a friend's birhtday. And the day got gone, without me really placing attention to the food I was going to honor him with. I had been invited to this place in the past (a Yelp experience) and I found the food good enough to remember. So I trusted that this place would somehow deliver cheese and sauce goodness to honor someone I consider a brother, from another mother. And to be honest, this place was close enough to be a choice option. But now the relatively closeness to this place is a plus, the food is the reason why I am going to go back. I surveyed the menu and I decided to do the Sausage Hunter, without the mushrooms. I realized that Sausage Hunter could be a name of a movie about a cougar gone wild. And the pizza was fantastic. The main flavor pop was the sausage. It provided meaty flavor and the fennel elevated the taste to Mozza-like quality. Not that this place can compete with Mozza that is not the point. More like the pizza of this place was unique enough to be called gourmet like the type you find at Mozza. And the pizza here was more accessbile in taste, price point, and does not require one wear shoes. One can enter here in sandals. I do not think I can do that at Mozza. Maybe. I won't try though. This place does not do itself justice with its name. Perhaps it can be called Piccini Gourment pizza to-go. Regardless, the pizza was a standout: White sauce, dollops of pesto, parmessean, mozzarella, and care. Hopefully one can see that these ingredients are not run of the mill pepperoni and olives. Even writing them seemed decadent and like I had enter a Nonna's kitchen on the eve where she was cooking for her only grandaughter's wedding. On this day, the sauce had to be white, in case she spilled it, it would match the dress. Imagine if she spilled red sauce on her white gown? Nonna's know what suace to make for each day. Since I rushed through my day I did not have time to buy plates, napkins, and forks for the mini party i was hosting. And yet I had a cake to provide to someone and also this pie. So I asked one of the workers, in a hushed whisper, do you mind providing me extra plates, and forks and napkins. And she was like how many? Anhe md I with a feeling of guilt I said 15. My inner person cringed. I got ready for the no, perhpas delivered in an italian accent. And the person who helped me said, I got you, with happy conviction. She did not make me feel like an ogre who pillaged a village of its straw and pitchforks to give utensils and comfortable seating for his ogre friends when he forgot to purchase these items on the way to the pit where the party was being held. Her behavior was attentive past the line of service. It was no wonder her name was Precious. I took a clip of the mural. It looked like a serious artist painted with crayons. It showed gelato and people about to kiss while racing to the center of a spaghetti strand. It had many things to see and wonder about while you waited like I said at the start of the review. So there was thought here, I think. What can stimulate people while they wait for their pizza besides their phone? Colorful images. It works with kids and cartoons. Why not with customers waiting for their pizza? This place will be on the rotation when i want pizza.
