    The service is incredible here. I came in a 9:40 and there were 3 people working. They had a really great system in place and were very organized behind the counter while having a pretty full house in the cafe. My drink came out in less than 5 minutes and the color of my ice vanilla latte is perfect! The flavor is perfectly balanced. It isn't overly sweet or bitter (from the coffee flavor), it's sooo good. I can't wait to come back and maybe try some pastries!

    Horchata lattes & breakfast empanadas
    Grace I.

    The Horchata latte is SO yummy! I love to try drinks I know I might not be able to try many places else, and it was definitely a hit the breakfast empanadas are also SO yummy. Wish they were bigger, because one WASN'T enough. So good!!! The space is small, clean, and eclectic in its modern and Argentinian decorations. There are plenty of spaces to co-work, chat, and kill time -- both inside and outside. The staff was super friendly and excited to serve us. Definitely a great coffee shop in the area.

    Got the Aztec Mocha, literally tasted like water. No chocolate taste whatsoever. The Spinach empanada was good.

    Regular here! I love this coffee shop. The service is amazing, friendly and very neighborhood/ around the way feels. It's cozy and vibrant but they are efficient. They know my order and it adds the perfect touch. I'm better with faces but I am working on names! Shout out to Elle, Joey, Nick and Juan. The 4 of them are the bees knees. Perfect location, customer service and overall vibe. Please visit!

    Nutty Latte

    Not a regular to the area, Tortoni caught my attention as I was trying to find a cafe nearby and seeing it being one of the highly rated. Having both indoor and outdoor patio, the capacity was decent and despite being busy the people's turnover went pretty quick. Their baristas were super helpful and patient waiting for me making my decision as I was firstly bit overwhelmed looking at the option including their seasonal fall drink menu. Ambiance wise, so long as you're fine with bit loud background noise, you'd be okay. I ended up following the crowd with their favorite Nutty Latte, which came with blend of macadamia and hazelnut syrup. They served Verve coffee beans so their coffee was pretty good, lil bit on the milky side for my liking but plus point was prolly it would suit those who fancied just subtle level of sweetness for their latte. I did enjoy the nutty aromatic hint from the coffee. I also paired my coffee to their walnut pastry which was enjoyable buttery nibble especially as they offered reheating pre-served!

    Nice little hidden Jen right next to 405. Loved the spot- they have a lot of drinks that are handcrafted pretty fast. Ambience is nice and playful but also calm, so you can come and work in a quiet environment! Service is nice and friendly and pretty efficient too.

    After driving by a couple hundred times decided to stop in and try it finally. Staff was very friendly, parking can be a bit tricky with no dedicated lot and only meter parking. The coffee is really good. Went with a vanilla latte and it's one of the better ones I've had. Also tried the cinnamon pinwheel pastry. Was really good warmed up and very buttery. Not too loud inside, fair amount of people working remotely as usual, and to be expected in any Los Angeles coffee shop.

    The manager who took our order was super sweet & helped me choose a drink i would enjoy. She was patient, helpful, & a great manager! The staff all looked like they worked together seamlessly & the vibes of the shop were perfect. The music matched the vibes & the coffee tasted absolutely amazing.

    First time at Tortoni Caffe! It's a cute cafe with friendly staff. I parked in the private lot next door without any issues. I tried the Golden Maple latte bc I stupidly thought that it was a latte sweetened with maple syrup only. Luckily the ginger and turmeric flavors were subtle. It was a nice and cozy drink. I'd like to try other specialty lattes next time!

    Horchata Latte!
    Enha R.

    The empanadas were delicious! We ordered 2 Breakfast, 1 Corn, and 1 Spinach. I enjoyed the breakfast one the most, it was cheesy and meaty and a great way to start the morning. Spinach and corn were also delicious, use the chimichurri that comes with them! I ordered the Horchata latte and it was sweet and flavorful; cinnamon was pronounced. Service was 10/10! Everyone was kind and we loved Carina! She spoke to our group and made us feel welcome. I truly enjoyed listening to her stories. We sat outside and had plenty of seating for our group of 5. Parking was iffy but street parking is available if you don't mind walking.

    My experience in Tortoni, was pleasant I got a mushroom coffee Americano and tried the spinach Parmesan empanada. The empanada came with a tasteful green Chimichurri sauce that complimented the empanada really well! I would definitely comeback to try a different empanada and comeback for the mushroom coffee.

    Decided to drop by this place since it was near our destination this morning! Parked nearby along Ventura at a metered parking. Pretty busy when we dropped by around 11am but they brought out the drinks QUICK!! Super satisfied with how short of a wait it was for our drinks. I went for an iced nutty latte 16oz and my bf got a hot green tea. Super small coffee shop and since it was so packed, we were awkwardly standing in the middle in front of the door basically. The seats and tables were all full and there wasn't really a good spot to wait. Thankfully the drinks came out really quick so we were in and out of there in no time. Staff are all extremely friendly! Will definitely be coming back. IG: @ammysalamii

    Spanish latte

    Can't wait to return to Tortoni Caffe. Ordered the Spanish latte. Was impressed with the service. Courteous and helpful. Some really nice looking quiche and bakery items. Cute decor. Coffee was good.

I ordered 2 banana lattes, one with oat milk and the other with almond milk. After waiting for my drinks, the staff called my name and said 2 banana lattes were ready! I went up to the counter, and then proceeded to ask which one was which. Which was almond , and which one was oat? None of the 3 employees working knew. There was no marks on the cup, no receipt under need the cup to indicate it nor did they even know which was which. One employee a few awkward seconds later after making me feel like I was the problem for asking which was which proceeded to then say " I think it's that's one, because the milk is separated a certain way " and I then asked her " you think ?" And I let her know in the future you guys should really pay attention to what your making, label the cups or leave receipts under the drinks if it's going to be a problem asking which drink is what? The employee then replied "well I didn't even make it, sooo ...." And I replied that's great to know but that's really not the point here, someone with a real food allergy could be allergic to nuts and you guys not caring nor knowing which drink is what drink is the real problem here. Of course you don't care, you down own the spot. You're not liable if someone dies from a food allergy now are you, ownership is. The whole interaction was just unpleasant and we became the problem for simply asking which latte had which milk. The staff continued to smile and roll their eyes, and we asked for a refund immediately after. Such a nice looking place but such unpleasant unprofessional staff unfortunately. Employee with purple hair was mainly the one with the issue and the attitude who seems to think everything was a joke.

Actually, all of their employees. Place was packed. Wanted to see and know the sizes of the cups for me to decide which one to go with and the price difference. I went with a medium size hot decaf (one shot) Vanilla Latte with Macadamia Milk. Also got a Blueberry Muffin and a plain butter Croissant. I thought that they would also have some breakfast items like egg, bacon, sausage, cheese etc..they didn't. They only had plain bagel and Cream Cheese. My Latte tasted very good, on the flip side the Croissant wasn't as warm and fresh as I wanted for it to be. I asked the ladies behind the counter to warm it up again. The muffin was very fresh and delicious. Lauren handed me the Latte and my goodies. I don't want to dock a star for the Croissant, but it could have been a lot more fresh. Place was clean, with one gender neutral restroom, inside and outside seating, and the price was right for the 3 items that I got. $14.00 in total plus my tip of $2.00. Street parking only, woman owned, beautiful art work on their walls by famous artists, merchandise for sale, and nice music from the 80's playing overhead. Last but not least, under the businesses amenities page it says, no dogs allowed. It was dogs galore inside and outside. No offense to people who have dogs, but outside is ok, not inside..

For two large iced coffees, I paid around $12.50, which is hard to beat for the quality. One of my favorite things about this spot is the atmosphere. The ambiance is warm, welcoming, and makes it a great place to relax or catch up with friends. The staff is always attentive, friendly, and genuinely makes you feel valued as a customer. My go-to drinks are the Caramel Royale and the Vanilla Rose Latte over ice. Both are flavorful, well-balanced, and never overly sweet. I also appreciate that they offer a variety of milk options, including 2%, which isn't always easy to find at other coffee shops.. Overall, this place delivers on quality, affordability, and customer service. If you're looking for great coffee without the premium price tag, I highly recommend stopping by. I'll definitely keep coming back! Thank you guys!

The main thing that stands out here is their 1987 coffee roaster which is the center piece of the cafe. They roast various single origin beans on a daily basis, so you know you can purchase some fresh coffee beans here. If you need your beans grounded, they do grind it for you depending on your brewing method. They have beans of light roast, medium roast and dark roast and sell by various weights for a very reasonable price. They also sell various tea leaves, baked goods (croissant, muffin, scones, bagel, Danish, coffee cake, Dessert Therapy cookies, and merchs. They also have a seasonable menu that changes. When I went, it was the Sakura season menu. Staff were all friendly and were very willing to answer any questions regarding the menu. Please note, the base coffee blend for each day varies and rotates on a daily basis For my visit, I tried ... 1. Buttered Coffee (4.5/5) The base coffee for the day was the Peru single origin, which was well-balanced; slightly sweet with a hint of tartness and nuttiness. They then add a chunk of butter into the coffee, which helps cut some of the acidity, but also is supposed to enhance the caffeine effect and give you additional energy from the fat. It does leave a layer of fat/oiliness so if you are not a fan of that, then this may not be for you. The butter did give it a subtle buttery flavor, which I personally liked. 2. Matcha with Sakura Cold Foam (4/5) The matcha was blended smoothly and was not grassy at all. The Sakura cold foam didn't really taste like Sakura (been to Japan, so know what real Sakura flavor should taste like), but instead, just tasted floral. 3. Columbia Supremo Whole Beans Full body and aromatic. Good for those who like to drink black coffee 4. Guatemala Huehuetenango Whole Beans: Crisp, acidic and a hint of nuttiness Glad I found this local roaster where I'll definitely be coming back to get some more fresh beans.
