Breakfast Plate
Peter H.

So excited to see Bread, Espresso & in LA. We live in Highland Park and visited on a Sunday morning to avoid traffic. It took 40 minutes -- not terribly convenient. Please open a location in Little Tokyo! The an pan was fabulous. The bread was flaky and buttery, more like brioche than a white bread. I had the breakfast special, $15 for egg on toast with a piece of bacon and ham, plus salad, clam chowder, and yogurt. The bread and egg were perfect. While the food was fabulous, the staff could use some training on typical formalities for interacting with customers, for example greeting and thanking. The girl who was working at the counter seemed really uninterested.

GREAT espresso drinks as the name would suggest. I had a fantastic iced latte where the espresso really shone through. I shared the mentaiko bread plate and clam chowder bread plate with three friends. My favorite was the mentaiko which I'm always a sucker for. We a were still hungry so we also got more bread - the croque madame was decent (probably better fresh or warmed) but the mushroom brioche was KILLER. Just an insanely good combo with the arugula and the creamy cheesy sauce inside. They also do $5 surprise bags, I assume with day-olds. We got matcha red bean, bacon cheese, and a canele in ours. Parking available in the lot/garage in the back.

I've had both the bread, food and shaved ice here and I don't know what all the hype was about. In this day and age of health/weight consciousness who the heck wants to eat a square brick of bread... or if I'm gonna eat it, it better be damn good... but it's just ok. When I went on a sat around 5:30pm they were about to close shop when online it says they are open til 9pm... I'm not going back here...

I absolutely LOVE this place! They have the most amazing bread super soft bread and tastes so fresh. The only thing I wish If prices for pasteries was less but otherwise everything I had here is so good! The best thing to get here is their French toast! Their French toast kind of tastes like cake in a way just because how soft the bread is. The French toast plate comes with sausage, bacon, Greek yogurt with berries, and a salad. I'm not a sausage person but my friend enjoyed it The clam chowder bread bowl plate was also good I split it with my friend I just wish there was more clam pieces my friend says that there was some in his maybe he took them from me lol. From the pasteries I loved their cinnamon roll bread I didn't expect to love it so much because it wasn't technically a cinnamon roll but it tasted exactly like a cinnamon roll and because their bread is soft it works so well I ordered the ham and cheese croque and I brought it home and toasted it in the oven and it was really good. Also one of best things I had here is their cheese focaccia bread that was one of the best things I had here as well. Super soft bread I would highly recommend this place! If you love bread and bakeries! Sometimes i hear it can get crowded on weekend but depends on the time I went during the weekday and there was no line. If you go towards the end of the day they may be out of certain pasteries

The pastries here are pretty good, some clearly better than others, but they're on the pricey side compared to similar bakeries. My favorite was the ham and cheese croissant. Super crispy and nice balance of flavors. The cinnamon roll and matcha mou were both good. The bread was very soft, but not special enough that I would go out of my way to get them. My least favorite was the hojicha cream bun. The cream was more bitter than I expected, and the bread itself was very average. I would not get it again. Very friendly service. The staff told me how they just got the croissants in and were very popular, and if I did not plan to eat the pastries the same day, I should keep them in the fridge.

Melon pan + raspberry cream bread
Athena K.

One of the 7 wonders...of LA. Sitting here enjoying my pastries reminds me of a cafe in Hokkaido. You can't go wrong with any of their breads, but so far I really like their melon pan, croque madam (warmed), and mou! I'm pretty sure this was the best unsweetened hojicha latte I've had. Simple and refreshing. They're running a $4 summer promotion so go try it!!

iceUji Iced Uji Matcha Latte
Miya S.

The matcha here is very good. It was on sale the time we visited and I almost went back to get another because it was so good and cheap! the chocolate croissant was fresh out of the oven when i tried it. It was soooooo good! The warm melted chocolate was phenomenal with the crunchy outside and soft flaky inside. The only downside is how much the croissant costs. I would only get it again if i saw it come out fresh, because it is too good to ignore then. But, i am not confident i can make it taste that good if it was taken home and reheated. The mous were both good, but I liked the melon pan more. If you ever had the boro japanese snacks, this melon pan tastes more like that than a typical melon pan. We also got a pork sandwich that was very good

Iced Blueberry Matcha Latte
Kerry N.

This place was so cute and so good! The style of the cafe and pastry assortment feels like I'm transported back to Japan. The menu has so many options, I got the iced blueberry matcha latte with almond milk and while it was a bit expensive, it was delicious. Real smashed blueberries to create a homemade blueberry syrup that was so unique. Will definitely be back!

Mentaiko & Butter
Bonnie I.

I wish I lived closer to this cafe! I got the mentaiko entree & I love how it comes with a side salad, yogurt, and fruit. It makes for a nice brunch. It's a very clean & cozy spot with outdoor seating as well. The staff were all friendly & the food came out pretty quick. We parked in the parking lot just up the hill by the plaza. I already want to come back to try their other entrees, bread, and drinks!

Mou clam chowder
Yasmeen A.

I have been going to bread, espresso & since it first opened. If you haven't been to Bread Espresso & yet, you are missing out. Those signature bread cubes are a work of art. The crunch on the outside gives way to the softest, most buttery interior. We went a couple of weeks ago. It's the first time i have tried the corn mou which i think is a must-try. We also had the Mou clam chowder which was really good. Super cute spot, amazing food, and easily a new favorite in Redondo!

Food menu

Pros: - baked goods were amazing!!! 5/5 for the bakery section. Definitely try to go earlier because they sell out of things (I went around 1pm and they sold out of a few things). - The vibe of the place was soooo cute, nice, and clean. They really used the space well with all the seating and outdoor area. - There is a small parking lot up the hill behind the building. - all the staff except the barista that day were super nice! - plain iced latte with oat milk was solid. Not mind blowing but still good. Room for improvement: - the drinks were very mid and not worth the price (basically $9). I'm sure the quality of matcha powder is exceptional; however, the ratio to milk was very off and it was so milky you could barely taste the matcha. The barista that day was kind of rude to the customer in front of me and when I asked a question about their Hot Drink Tokyo Fog, he brushed off the question and shortly replied it was an iced tea. - there's a bottleneck at the cash register because of the workflow. The register person takes orders, cashes out, cleans and refills the trays, wraps each of your baked goods, and probably more. So there ends up being a longer wait there even if you're only grabbing 1 baked good, I ended up waiting a lot longer than I thought I would. I would come back for the hot food and baked goods if I'm in the area. Excited to see them grow!

Menu February 2026

Their best item is the curry cube bread. Big chunks of beef inside with some traditional curry sauce. Very savory and tasty even at home after toasting it in the air fryer. The bacon version didn't have enough bacon and was a little boring with nothing inside after eating the curry version. The melon pan was best fresh. The earl grey was a little too subtle. Fig focaccia would have been better if the bread was softer. It was a little tough to eat. The Americano was excellent because of how strong it was. Some inside and outdoor seating. Parking on the street and behind the restaurant. Very nice location for brunch or lunch.

French Toast Plate
Haylie P.

The food was good I loved the French toast plate! The bread was good apart from the corn. It wasn't inherently bad but I'd think it would be a type of corn custard or corn cheese but it was just straight up corn lol Matcha latte was a skip, it wasn't horrible but it was too milky and I don't think they know how to sweeten it well.

The interior is stylish, clean, and welcoming, with a chill atmosphere and nice music playing in the background. It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy a good drink, and take a little break from your day. The staff were also friendly and helpful! I asked for a recommendation and decided to try their Banana Cream Matcha, and I'm so glad I did! It genuinely surprised me with how good it was. You could actually taste little pieces of real banana in the drink, which made it feel extra special. The banana flavor paired so well with the matcha, and it was such a delicious combination. Definitely a great recommendation! They also have a cute assortment of pastries that looked so tempting. I can't wait to come back and try some of those, along with more of their drinks. One that caught my attention was their Coconut Matcha, made with a coconut water base and topped with coconut foam. That sounds amazing! I'm also looking forward to trying their Strawberry Matcha and exploring more of their coffee options. Overall, I had a wonderful first experience at Chrome Coffee Studio. Between the stylish interior, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, and unique drink options, there's already plenty that makes me want to return. If you're in Torrance and enjoy matcha or discovering cute new cafés, I'd definitely recommend giving this spot a try. I'm excited to come back and see what else their menu has to offer!

I liked that the bread wasn't overly sweet. Wish it tasted more banana and nutty. It came with dark chocolate chips. Hojicha drink was nutty, classical flavor. Worth checking them out.

I came on a Saturday afternoon, not looking at any reviews or Yelp tips. As mentioned in other reviews, the line was out the door. I told my friend "I am extra introverted and impatient today but that coffee smells so good." That was when the person in front of me turned around and said "I am so sorry. I don't mean to be listening but I just wanted to let you know it is so worth it." She proceeds to tell me a little more about Nook and the other locations and her favorite drinks. I ended up getting TWO drinks for me and kouign aman. The island matcha is something I have never had before. It is matcha with coconut milk and macadamia nut syrup. It is not too sweet and absolutely refreshing. It does have a very strong coconut water taste so for those who love fresh coconut water, this is for you. Honey lavender lattes are one of my favorite drinks and this one is just delicious and would make me come back to Torrance Nook for this drink. The floral taste is smooth and complements well with the honey. The coffee is robust but smooth. The kouign aman was okay. It was a little dry for my liking. With all that said, yes, I can see what Nook is well loved. The baristas were very friendly and made the drinks with craftsmanship and care. The line moved along nicely but it seemed like I got my drinks in a very timely manner. The shop itself is bright and open with a few spots in the bench to sit. Most of the seating is outside. This place seems like more of a place to hangout casually with friends than being a place to work. Thanks to the local patron who convinced me to wait in the long line.

Yamari specializes in Uji matcha straight from Kyoto. [Parking]: The parking lot for Mitsuwa can get busy during the weekend, but it is not impossible to find an open spot. [Ordering]: There was no long waiting line and I was able to get my order within 5 minutes after placing an order at the counter. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Iced Matcha Lattes, Strong Uji Matcha Green Tea (sweetened), and Stone Ground Uji Matcha (contains no sugar or milk). They offer small, medium, and large sizes for their drinks. In addition, they also sell hojicha drinks as well as parfaits and soft-serve ice cream. *** Strong Uji matcha green tea (sweetened - small $4.50): The matcha flavor was strong alright. The drink did hit the spot and the sweetness level was about right. Mixed Soft Serve (half matcha and half hojicha - $6.75): Ice cream had a strong matcha flavor, but the texture didn't hit the spot. It would be nicer if the flavor was slightly less dense as this ice cream really made me want to drink more water afterward. The milk chocolate was a nice add-on, but I am not sure if it was really needed. *** I would stick with their drinks and there are better soft-serve matcha ice creams in Los Angeles (e.g. Meccha Matcha in Artesia or Tea Master Matcha Cafe & Green Tea Shop in Little Tokyo).

It was one of those drinks I genuinely looked forward to, and I'd usually finish it before I even made it home. I was back in the area today and decided to stop by, hoping to enjoy an old favorite. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to what I remembered. The matcha flavor was a little dull, and the drink was noticeably less sweet than usual. I don't necessarily need my matcha to be super sweet, but the balance felt off this time. It just didn't have the same flavor that made me enjoy it so much before, and I found myself not really wanting to finish it. At around $8 plus tip for the Vienna matcha, I do expect a certain level of consistency, especially with a drink I've ordered and enjoyed so many times. That's what made this visit disappointing. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't feel worth the price this time. Maybe it was just an off day, and I can't speak to their other drinks, but based on this visit, I probably won't be going back.
