I alternate between their Spanish latte and their mojito lemonade. They're both sooooOOoOOoOoOOoOooOOo good. I love love love love love love love bada. Highly recommend Spanish latte for coffee and the mojito lemonade for something more bubbly, citrusy and acidic. But also VERY refreshing.

Such a bummer that I discovered Bada shortly before moving out of the area!…read more This coffee shop's warm tones and spacious interior made it a seriously inviting space as soon as I stepped in. My drip coffee delivered bright citrus notes with medium acidity while my wife's Spanish latte was finely made. We'd happily come back the next time we're in the area.

The drinks were decent but nothing special, a safe pick if you were already in the area. PISTACHIO BUN [ 6 / 10 ] - nice flaky crust that had a cheese savory tast and was not overly sweet. Not a fan of the cream though, that part was a bit too sweet. STRAWBERRY MATCHA [ 4 / 10 ] - matcha was bland and tasteless. The strawberry puree was very fresh and tasty though. Just wish the matcha that came with it was better. BLACK SESAME LATTE[ 7 / 10 ] - strong coffee flavor , a good choice for back sesame fans that like a strong Vietnamese coffee taste. - lots of free street parking - seating for groups, duos, and solos - Bathrooms available - WiFi available - Outlets available - Sells both drinks and pasteries

Caffe Bene is a solid spot if you're looking for a delicious caffeine fix, to satisfy your sweet…read moretooth, or to hang out and study. The service here is quick and professional. 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!

Cafe Bene reminds me of those college boba studying days; big spacious room, clearly loved tables…read moreand desks and people are actually studying here from what I can see..... large array of drinks and food items to choose from, mostly smoothies and some trendy banana creme drinks, waffles, sandwiches etc. They have a stamp card but its a stamp per purchase. Booo. Times are tough I guess. Its on a corner of a big parking lot but there's a lot of scary drivers around since its on a large street. Not too bad for Torrance.

Genuinely some of the best soft serve I've had in SoCal! The flavor of the chestnut/vanilla mix is…read moreso good and just the perfect combination. Honestly pretty decently priced as well.

The roasted chestnuts were good and were best enjoyed right away while they were still warm. The Fuji matcha mountain soft service and toppings were good and the sweeter side. The baked chestnut donuts were different and were not made of the typical donut texture that I was picturing. They were more sponge bread like. The chestnuts were soft and pureed like? The donuts tasted light and had only little hints of the various flavors. Cute decor.

Located at The Enclave, Nook Coffee Bar always seems to have a line, so I finally decided to see…read morewhat all the hype was about. On a recent Sunday, the wait really wasn't bad at all. My friend and I stood in line for about 15 minutes, and once we ordered, our drinks were ready in less than five minutes. I chose the lavender matcha, and I was impressed by how well the two flavors balanced each other. Neither overpowered the other, making for a smooth and enjoyable drink. My friend ordered the hibiscus lemonade and found it light and refreshing. One of the best parts of visiting is being able to enjoy your drinks in the spacious outdoor seating area around The Enclave. Prices were reasonable at around $6-$7 per drink, and the cashier was friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a great experience, and I can see why this spot is so popular.

The Thai tea was nicely balanced and not overly sweet, and the Jasmine tea was fragrant, thick, and perfect at 50% sweetness. The matcha latte was the best drink here for me: earthy, not sweet at all, and with a subtle nuttiness that made it so satisfying. The only miss was the strawberry taro, which leaned too sweet for my taste. Overall, a beautifully designed shop with some truly great drinks.

I finally got around to this tiktok famous spot…read more I wanted a matcha horchata but did not want to make the drive to a farther destination so I settled for trying this place out. It was not that busy at all. It's a small place but there's a good amount of seating for the size of the place. There's parking in the plaza & they have restrooms. I ordered their own matcha horchata and .... ...:. .... I only was able to taste milk. I have no clue how it is made, but I genuinely was like..... I feel like I'm drinking cows milk. I was not impressed at all. I tasted 0 horchata and 0 matcha it was the weirdest experience. The cashier was somewhat nice? It was a minimal interaction. There's screens to order as well so maybe he was not expecting the human interaction. Either way it threw me off unfortunately. I'd have to wait a while to see if I wanna come back and try something different. There's too many coffee and milk tea shops that come to my mind first to visit instead.

We stopped by Okrumong after lunch at Jang Su Jang, since it's located in the same center, and it…read morewas a nice way to wrap up the meal. We ordered two bingsoo and shared them. The black sesame bingsoo was my favorite - the ice was super fine and snow-like, light and easy to enjoy. It leaned a bit sweeter than other bingsoo spots I've tried, but was still very good. The second bingsoo was a more classic snow bowl with red bean and mochi on top, simple but enjoyable. The space felt clean and traditional, with good service. Overall, a great place to get bingsoo in Torrance.

Overall, this place is my favorite dessert place in South Bay…read more Location: next to Jang Su Jang restaurant so easy to come by after dinner. Has a big, free parking lot. Decor: cute decor with books on the side and a few tables inside. Service: efficient and speedy. Menu/food: I really like their bingsoo a lot, but what I really love is their boong-uh-ppang (taiyaki). I also love their red bean, which is not too sweet but rich and flavorful. They advertise that the red bean is imported from Korea, and it really is better than most other places. When the taiyaki comes out piping hot with crispy exterior and chewy inside with red bean, it's sooo good. I like their custard filling too. Probably best taiyaki I've had anywhere in southern Cal. I had stopped coming here for a while and when we came back, we noticed that the menu expanded a bit, and now they have some fruit based bingsoo. Recommend trying once. Their rice cakes are good too, very chewy and fresh.
