    Classic Syrniki
    Lynn L.

    Cute little place. The Syriniki was so tasty. Matcha Latte was the best and they were able to substitute with oat milk. Will have to come back again for their honey cake and other items on the menu. Great service.

    Syrniki with Cheese & Dill Classic Syrniki Honey Cake (Medovik)
    Natalie O.

    Finally got to try this place! We got the classic and dill and chives syrniki. I personally preferred the dill and chives! Also got a slice of honey cake and each bite was indulgent. Service was great! The menu was explained to us with recommendations and they brought the food to us. I also watched them bring out a menu out to an older couple to take their order which I thought was so sweet of them. Decent amount of seating and we enjoyed seating outside since it was a nice day.

    Chicken & Mushroom Crepes
    Derek T.

    Who would have expected this plaza to have such a great coffee shop? That's Cool Beans. And it's not just a coffee shop, it's Russian inspired with the food they serve. From pancakes to crepes to shakshuka, it's all a delightful menu to eat while you drink coffee. The chicken and mushroom crepes were incredibly light yet rich and savory, I'm not sure how that works but it does. There was a nice balance of chicken, mushroom, and crepe so nothing overpowered the other. The sauce was also pretty bomb too. Maybe next time I'll get the other food items on the menu. I opted for a citrus matcha this time around which was also nice and light. For whatever reason, the theme is light and for asians, that's a win.

    Mango matcha

    Cute little cafe hidden in this plaza. I got the avocado toast something so simple tasted so good lol. Came with a small salad as well 10/10. I also ordered a matcha and asked for mango puree. The matcha was okay id give 5/10. They have some small seating inside and few tiny tables outside. The parking wasnt too bad it is a small lot tho.

    Offering standout hospitality, delicious food and drinks, and an easy parking lot, this Russian cafe-meets-coffee shop is my new obsession! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with genuine warmth - special shoutout to Adis, who is super friendly and welcoming! FOOD (5/5) - Shakshuka: Mmm..two eggs poached in a rich, spiced tomato sauce, served with bread that's perfect for mopping up the savory goodness! Seventh heaven warm comfort food! - Syrniki: it was our first time trying Russian cheese pancakes, and they were yummy! Fluffy cottage cheese, lightly crisped edges, berries, and a dash of sweetness. - Honey Cake (Medovik): do not leave without trying the delicately sweet, many-layered honey cake! - Hojicha Latte: wash it all down with this smooth, nutty Japanese green tea blended with milk. SERVICE (5/5) Adis' smiling hello and knowledgeable recommendations made our visit such a pleasure! He surprised our niece with a gorgeous handmade origami napkin rose - what a truly thoughtful human being! AMBIENCE (4/5) Indoor and outdoor seating - including a delightful cushioned corner nook - as well as a super cute Fleuria romance bookshelf - make for a cozy and clean vibe. Highly, highly recommend Cool Beans for brunch, lunch, or just because!

    Raf Apple & Kiwi Honey Cake (Medovik) Chia Seed Syrniki
    Shamika M.

    Coffee was good, tried the RAF and it was tasty. The star of our visit was the mango chia seed syrniki and the honey cake. These 2 were beyond amazing and were so good, my son and I ate them slowly to savor the flavors lol. Service was perfection and we felt so welcomed and loved the little nook area to sit and eat in. I totally didn't expect to walk in and think I could have a meal here but man was I pleasantly surprised. Can't wait to go back.

    Medovik & basque cheesecake
    Brenda L.

    The good: I tried the syrniki, medovik, shakshuka, hojicha latte and basque cheesecake. Everything was so delicious. I liked how the tea latte wasn't sweet. The honey flavor of the medovik stood out. The basque cheesecake was fluffy and tasted like flan. It was superb. I don't know anywhere else in Torrance area where you can get syrniki or medovik. This made my Ukrainian husband happy (and me too!). The syrniki was fluffy and had nice fresh fruit and yogurt. The pastries seemed to be fresh. The shakshuka came super hot and with toasty sourdough bread. I wonder if they sell whole cakes as well. They had a lot of matcha drink options. They sell stickers and keychains inside too. The bad: They were out of crepes that day. The interesting: The interior has 3-4 small tables and a corner nook area. Outside there are 4 small tables but you can combine them to make a larger seating area.

    Matcha Latte  Avocado Toast  Latte
    Keesha P.

    Real cute cafe that serves food, coffee and teas. I learned about it through The Fleuria Mobile Bookstore. I had a matcha and the avocado toast and they were delicious. I will definitely be back. I ordered a book and that's the pick up spot. A perfect excuse to sit down, relax and eat again!

    Wan L.

    I'm in love with their Honey Cake aka Medovik. It's been days since I've had it and I'm still dreaming of it. It's not too sweet and pairs well with coffee or tea. You can see the different layers. I counted at least 12. Their white chocolate cookie was good too, soft and chewy. I'll be back. Give this cute shop a visit. You won't be disappointed.

    Bookshelf. So cool for this bookworm
    Dora T.

    So I had to return after coming for the Yelp elite event. The nice server had given me a couple of coupons for a free croissant when you buy a coffee. I really wanted to return for a sit down breakfast but since I had errands to run I only could grab a hojicha latte, honey cake, and the free croissant. I liked the hojicha latte because it had lower caffeine level and also the earthy and rich tone. It's very different from matcha and I think I like it more. The croissant was a regular croissant but oh man the honey cake was sooo good. The portion is larger than I expected and I really didn't think I would be able to eat in in one sitting but I totally did. The layers of cake and cream fit so perfectly This visit I noticed the book shelves. I didn't ask about that but it's definitely a nice place to sit, eat your breakfast, and read a book. I think that will be my next visit

    Hojicha Latte
    Paula L.

    Cool Beans in Torrance has such a cozy, inviting ambiance - the kind of café where you can relax with friends or get some quiet time with a book. They've got a great selection of coffee, teas, and specialty drinks along with fresh pastries and light bites. I tried the Hojicha Latte and it was absolutely delicious -- smooth, nutty, and perfectly balanced. The berry croissant was also very good, flaky with just the right touch of sweetness. It was not overly sweet, which I liked. The next time I'm back, I'd love to try the other drinks as well as the Syrniki, Shakshuka, and Honey Cake. The service was also friendly and attentive, which made the visit even better. The only downside of this place was the location. It's located right in the middle between Hawthorne and Crenshaw, on PCH...which is not really convenient. It's definitely a place I'd like to grab another drink, or have breakfast/lunch at, so I'll definitely be back.

    Cappuccino
    Allison Y.

    Cozy cute. Warm, welcoming customer service. The servers are eager to help and give tasteful recommendations. Love the mango chia seed Syriniki, along with the cheese, dill Syriniki. Savory Shakshouka, too. Top notch cafe beverages adorned with adorable latte art makes it hard to want to drink your top notch cafe beverage it's so cute.

    Lauren A.

    Fantastic honey cake + avocado toast + some of the friendliest staff ever! We love coming here bc of the cozy vibes and delicious food. It's hard to come across quaint coffee shops in Walteria, but thank goodness we have one now!

The restaurant has inside seating for 40 guests and outside for 30. We arrived between breakfast and lunchtime and were able to get the last outside table. The attentive staff got us seated right away, and after browsing through their menu, we ordered the following items (arrived in 15 minutes) : Marine: The buckwheat outer layer was soft, not soggy, and with nice resistance. The light creamy tomato-based dressing with sliced mushrooms was pleasantly flavorful. Both shrimp and scallops were of good size, fresh and juicy. Fromage: Like Marine Crepe, the buckwheat out layer was soft. The mild brie cheese provided pleasant creaminess to the filling. Seasoned bacon, scrambled egg, onion, and mushroom added nice savoriness to the dish. The portions were sensible and the prices were reasonable. Very nice culinary experience.

We started with the salmon poke and it was uniquely marinated and delicious (would think about getting this as my main next time). My son order the pick three (they also have a pick two). He got clam chowder which creamy and also uniquely flavored, it had bacon, he had the fish tacos which were delicious, the toppings made them even better, and the furikake fries. I ordered the steak sandwich, it was really good but a lot sweeter than I expected with a shallot jam. The bread was toasty and the melty cheese was great.

My husband and I split some dishes: tuna crudo, peach and burrata salad, and crispy chicken sandwich. Tuna crudo was awesome - definitely recommend that one! Peach and burrata had a great flavor combo, but it basically is a dessert on some arugula lol. I was expecting fresh peach slices, but it looks like they were diced and marinated. Not too surprised since it is January :). Crispy chicken sandwich was good, but a bit too salty (I'm not usually one to say that either). They do have some non-alcoholic beers and lots of others + cocktails. Family friendly and good food and good location! Will definitely be back!
