I've visited Café Dulce in Little Tokyo before, and I usually enjoy stopping in, especially when…read moreI'm in the area with my two kids. The drinks and pastries have always made it an easy place for us to grab a treat, so I'm not writing this based on one random first impression. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing enough that I felt I needed to say something. When we came in, the trash cans were overflowing, and the floor looked like it had not been cleaned in quite some time. I understand that cafés can get very busy, especially in Little Tokyo, and I never expect a place to look perfect every second of the day. However, the dining area felt noticeably neglected. With two children, cleanliness is something I pay closer attention to, and it was uncomfortable trying to find a clean area for us to stand and sit. The overall atmosphere also felt disorganized. We waited at the register for help, but it took a while before anyone acknowledged us. A simple "I'll be right with you" would have made a big difference. I have had better experiences here in the past, which is why this visit stood out so much. I'm hoping this was simply a bad day, because Café Dulce has always been a place I was happy to visit with my family. I'm sharing this because I would genuinely like to see the cleanliness and customer service return to the standard I remember. Private Feedback for Management I did not feel comfortable putting the full details of this experience in a public review, but I believe management needs to be aware of what happened. While I was standing at the register waiting to order, the male employee working there was engaged in a conversation with another person and appeared to be openly gloating about drinking while on the job. Based on what I heard and observed, he also appeared to be impaired or intoxicated. He continued the conversation while ignoring me, even though I was standing directly in front of the register waiting to place an order. The tone of the conversation was not subtle or professional. It created a much darker and more uncomfortable atmosphere than what I would ever expect from a family-friendly café. I was there with my two children, and hearing someone behind the register casually talking about drinking while working was deeply concerning. Someone who appears intoxicated while operating a register and handling customers' money creates a terrible narrative for the business. It raises concerns about judgment, accuracy with transactions, food-service safety, and the overall professionalism of the workplace. Even if the employee was exaggerating or joking, it was still completely inappropriate to have that conversation openly in front of customers. What bothered me most was not only the conversation, but the fact that I was being ignored while it continued. I was waiting to spend money at the business, yet the employee seemed more interested in talking about drinking than acknowledging a customer. As a mother standing there with two children, the situation felt uncomfortable, disrespectful, and honestly a little disturbing. This is not my first time visiting Café Dulce, and I have never felt compelled to complain before. I understand that employees are human and that businesses have difficult days. However, the combination of overflowing trash cans, a dirty floor, being ignored at the register, and an employee appearing impaired while discussing drinking on the job crossed a line for me. I am sharing this privately because I believe management should have the opportunity to address it directly. I hope the situation is taken seriously, not only for the reputation of the café, but for the safety and comfort of the customers and employees.

I came here to pick up a cake and decided on a whim to give their drinks a try. I got the salted…read moredouble matcha and was pleasantly surprised!! It was creamy, had a good strong matcha flavor, and the salt added a nice touch! The drink was comparable to other popular matcha spots, and I'd definitely get it again. The tiramisu I got was also delicious - light, creamy, and not too sweet. The workers were helpful when I had called about the cake, although unfortunately their cake decorator had left for the day already so I wasn't able to get writing on my cake. They did provide complimentary candles which was nice. The bakery is inside of a shopping mall, but there are seats inside. I didn't stay to enjoy my drink, but you definitely have the option to. Would definitely come back again for both their drinks and the cake!

Everything smelled fresh the moment I walked in, which already felt promising. The pastries themselves were really delicious -- flaky, soft, and full of flavor without being overwhelmingly sweet. They tasted fresh and homemade instead of mass-produced, which made a big difference. I also liked the cozy atmosphere inside. It's the kind of bakery where you can grab coffee, sit for a bit, and actually enjoy the experience instead of just rushing out with your order. Definitely a place I'd come back to whenever I'm craving good pastries.

Surely if you're gonna charge .10 cents for a bag you purchased in bulk you should ensure your customer has everything else needed to enjoy their slice of tuxedo cake I guess I'm lucky she didn't ask me for a tip. This is a trend here in Little Tokyo charging for bags. How ridiculous I already paid close to $10 for 1 slice of cake they probably didn't even make in-house as I just watched the delivery of cakes Oh well, there's plenty other places to try

But being around the area just triggered me to try my luck in case I got some nice findings! It's interesting that the moment you entered the bakery, it felt like totally different vibes from the busy hectic street where it's located. Simple and gorgeous. As per my usual, my most go-to for first trial would be almond croissant. Call me lucky, I got the last one and it's even no more on the showcase so great that I asked! Despite surviving the day, which I could imagine the pastry had sit for hours there, it's still crispy and flaky. The almond paste inside was luscious and came in right proportion. Plenty of crunchy almond on top, which was surely the creme de la creme. Would probably give it a 5 star if only I had it reheated and enjoyed it warm.
