    The very reasonable price for a sandwich and a Metro Tossed Salad!! Bargain City!!
    Wellington J.

    This is one of those well-kept secrets for lunch, especially if you want something closeby and quiet!! It's like a paradise break in the middle of the day. The place is very clean, the 2 ladies are gracious and polite!! My wife and I split an egg salad sandwich and a salad. Hard to go wrong with simplicity!! The salad was large, and the sandwich was very adequate. The only problem is location and lack of any signage. Otherwise, it is our new Go-to lunch spot!!

    The ambiance is very clean and very well kept. The service is also great, our waiter was very attentive and polite. Now as far as the food goes, I will rate it 7.5/ 10, our food needed a bit more seasoning. Thank goodness for the pepper and hot sauce on our table . Others than this, it was good. Their plates are huge, two people can eat out of one plate, prices are very reasonable.

    Pastrami--really good

    This is a little hidden cafe in a corporate building. What a nice, convenient surprise! Ordered a pastrami sandwich, egg salad sandwich, Asian chicken salad and an iced mocha. Everything was really good and the portions were really good for the price! Super reasonable! I can't wait to try the breakfast foods! I will definitely be frequenting here! They also sell specials like lasagna, beef bulgogi bowl, and teriyaki chicken bowls--yum!

    Torrance Food Crawl #105 I was pleasantly surprised. I'm accustomed to avoiding the little cafes serving business buildings with their captive audiences and offering limited selections in an environment that usually has a distinctive smell (often its grease that the ventilation system can't remove). But here is a cafe that should stand as a destination of its own and not one that is a secret to the people working in the Park Del Amo business complex. There is a typical selection of cafe items, coffees, teas, sandwiches, salads, chips, drinks, etc. I tried the Californian Sandwich which comes with turkey, avocado, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, lettuce, sour cream sauce, on a French roll. The sprouts added a nice touch and there was plenty of avocado. Everything was very fresh. The only knock I have was that there perhaps could be more turkey meat, but that being said, the sandwich was good and it was filling. The place was very clean and the two ladies working there were courteous. The full menu is not prominently displayed - I found it behind a sign when first walking in. Some of the menu items are displayed in paintings on the wall, a nice touch. Walking out I noticed that the clock on the wall had only the number 7 on it. When I asked about that I was told that it was a lucky number. Well, good luck!

    This coffee bar is incredible, there is almost always a wait (especially during noon so prepare for…read morethat) but it's always 100% worth it. Their coffee is phenomenal. I have gone with a few people many times and our favorites are: the Spanish latte, Mexican Chai, Chai Latte, and Mocha Latte. The Spanish latte is especially good, and the Chai latte is the best I have had in my life it's so well made. The Mexican Chai I can only describe as a cinnamon heaven with the best Chai base flavor ever. The Mocha latte is heavy in the best way possible, it's super strong and I love it. The best part I think for all the drinks is the baristas do not hold back on the coffee, and you always get your moneys worth. None of it is water down, and it's such a great pick me up. I can't really speak on the Matcha cause no one in my group has tried it since we aren't really big Matcha enjoyers. But I have been told that the strawberry Matcha is transcendent and absolutely fantastic. They have a bunch of Matcha flavor options as well, which would be amazing if I was a Matcha connoisseur, but unfortunately, I'm not . So I can't really speak well on that yet, but have only told fantastic things about it. The workers are all kind and work really fast so you get your drinks really quickly even though the line is pretty long. I will say the best time to go and get drinks is around in the morning when they open around 7:30 on the weekends. Again I have to restate wait is always 100% worth it for the amazing quality drinks you will get. I also forgot to mention the fact, you can customize your drinks to have different types of milk and they also have a bunch of other vegan food options as well. I think this is amazing even though my group doesn't really get those options, because I've been told even when people change out the milk, it taste the exact same, which I think is absolutely incredible. (Side note I may update this when I take a photo next time I go because I always forget to before I put on the top on and start drinking ) The experience is great. The drinks are absolutely incredible and the workers are very nice and very helpful.5/5 stars

Made with coconut, macadamia syrup, and oat milk by default, it had a perfectly balanced, tropical flavor--great for vegans or the lactose intolerant. However, it's not the best spot for working or studying. The WiFi was so slow that I had to use my personal hotspot, and the seating consists of benches and mini tables that aren't comfortable for long periods. There are a few outlets, but you have to cross the street to a food court to use the bathroom. They have a shared parking lot out front. I'll definitely be back for the Island Matcha, but not to get work done!

    This is a fairly new cafe. They don't have a permanent sign yet…read more The interior is fairly small. They have artwork on the wall, along with a bookshelf on the right hand side wall. Seating is limited, but they have seating both indoors and outdoors. There are five tables indoors. Two are small tables for two. There are four small tables for two outdoors. I chose to sit outside. It's a little stuffy inside, and when at full capacity, it gets crowded. I ordered and paid before sitting outside. They only have one laminated food menu and one laminated drink menu to order from. I ordered the avocado toast and a 12 ounce latte with almond milk. In terms of types of milk, they offer almond, oat, soy, and whole milk. Staff are friendly, but they need more staff. Unfortunately, there was only one person taking orders and making drinks in the front. I believe someone was in the back cooking the food. When I got here, there were only two parties ahead of me. After I placed my order, there was a large group of people who arrived, but they received their drinks before I did. I had to go back inside to ask where my drink was twice. He delivered my latte. No design. If you squinted a little, it could possibly look like an embryo. Afterwards, my avocado toast was delivered, along with a wooden container full of utensils and napkins. The avocado toast was alright. It consisted of toasted white bread spread with cream cheese, scrambled eggs, topped with peppered and sliced avocado. It came with a side salad; not too much dressing. Parking: There is plenty of free, shared strip mall parking.

You can tell they put a lot of effort into their food and drinks. As for the ambiance, it's perfect for those who want to hang out and catch up with friends/family or to study. When I visited, there were easily 5 other groups and individuals studying here. I have a big soft spot for banana flavored items. A BIG SOFT SPOT. Banana Cream Pie Latte - this one carries the biggest punch for banana lovers. Banana cream the entire way from start to finish. Not too sweet. Awesome foam top too. I highly recommend drinking these without the straw. Foam top drinks are best appreciated when you get a nice 50:50 ratio of the foam and drink. Banana Matcha Latte - the name speaks for itself. It's a nice mixture of both. So if you're looking to feel a little healthier with the matcha element, then go for it. This was probably the prettiest drink of the 3 that we had. Americano - delicious and got the job done here. I naturally enjoy Ethiopian and Colombian beans. I brew them often at home. I was definitely wide awake after these drinks lol Strawberrynana Waffle - If you LOVE belgian-style waffles like me, then you'll find yourself ordering this again and again. It wasn't too sweet but sweet enough to easily go through 2 or 3 of these plates if you're crazy enough. Banana Walnut Honey Bread - the best for last! I really loved eating brick toast growing up. There were so many stores back in the day that sold them, and now I can't find them as easily. In fact, Caffe Bene is the only place in the South Bay that I know that sells them. This one brought me back to the past and put a gigantic smile on my face. Delicious, perfectly sweet, balanced, and finished wanting more. Highly recommend!
