Quick drop by to try their specialty señorita bread while we were in Torrance. It wasn't busy but…read morethe staff greeted us quickly. We ordered a 10 señorita bread bag. Our bread was piping hot and fresh. The sugar and butter is nice and melty when you get it hot. Flavor and taste was on point. Very solid treat. The bakery storefront is small and parking is a bit awkward but it's totally worth it if you're looking to try. I would definitely return just for the señorita bread.

I like to go right at opening when the bread is freshest. This is definitely a must-stop bakery if you're in the area!

Easy eats ice cream with a bunch of Filipino flavors…read more Went after dinner for a bit of dessert. Parking was a bit confusing - there's a lot of electric vehicle parking (which should have but did not think to use), but found regular parking further out. The ice cream spot is in the food court area near the restrooms. Menu consists of many different Filipino and some regular flavors. Ended up getting a split scoop of ube and macapono. Was well made - def more natural tasting than others I had. Would def come back!

Visited when they were at their first location a couple years ago and the owner is great!…read more Because the service was so great in the past, we wanted to come visit their new location (the person who helped us was not the owner) and when we got there, there were no customers ahead of us but once we ordered another group lined up behind us and ordered after us. We were waiting for our ice cream and noticed that the party behind us got theirs first. We wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt but once the party after us got theirs, we noticed that the cashier came back to the register ready to take another order so I went up and told her that we were still waiting on ours scoops and she said "oh i forgot " Not sure how she could forget when we were first to order with no one ahead of us... Seems like this staff needs more customer service and ice cream training.

Stopped by Noon Korean Bingsoo House with my significant other and yeah... we already know we'll be…read moreregulars. We went with the small mango bingsoo and immediately regretted not getting the large. To be fair, the small is actually a great portion for the price--but it's so ridiculously good that you're going to wish you had more. Lesson learned. Staff was friendly, the place was super clean, and it's just an easy spot to relax and enjoy something sweet. Definitely coming back... and next time, we're not making that "small" mistake again.

Why 5 stars? Because I'm pretty much an auto 5-star when it comes to bingsoo…read more --- --- --- I cannot recall ever having a bingsoo or any concoction of legit shaved ice that was not a 5-star experience for me. Was this the best I've ever had? No, but it was still refreshing and a great way to cap off my dinner with something sweet. The main piece of constructive feedback I'd offer is that when you fill the bowl so high that a strong breath causes some to spill onto the table, I think I speak for most patrons when I say we'd take 5-10% less bingsoo for a dramatic decrease in spillage chances. But the mango was a solid experience, even with sticky hands from said spillage.

I initially gave this spot a lower rating last year because my drinks felt watered down, but I'm so…read moreglad I gave them another chance. I came by recently with some friends after dance class and we were all impressed. I tried the Biscoff Matcha Latte and it was fantastic. You can tell they use high-quality ceremonial grade matcha. The flavor is spot on. It's rare to find that level of quality in a specialty latte, and I'm definitely coming back just for that drink. I'm looking forward to trying their other matcha options next time! Also need to try their desserts.

Boba Bunny, let's chit chat…read more I've been here twice already, but I'm barely coming around to review the place. The first time I tried this place, it was kinda busy, very stuffy inside, unsure if the AC works or not. Service was quick. Coffee was not anything memorable. I just remember whatever I had ordered tasted exactly the same as the chrome studio signature latte. It was the muscovado latte. Which.... I did not like. This second time was also very stuffy inside. Like, I am really unsure if they pay for AC inside or not. This second time that I had visited was more recent where I had ordered the Hawaiian Paradise tea with golden honey boba. I actually really did enjoy this refresher iced tea. It was not half bad and included a slice of orange inside. The honey boba was very soft and easy to chew. I enjoyed how refreshing it was as it was what I was craving. I also had ordered a banana pudding latte that was horrid. Foam was amazing. The actual coffee was so bad. Like, actually. I threw it away. I did not bother to even ask for a remake. It tasted so burnt. Like the most burnt coffee bean taste ever. I do not know what happened there, but it was a very big disappointment. Ordered 2 churros, they were good. Nothing crazy, just something that helped curve the horrible taste from the burnt coffee. You don't interact with the workers, so service I can not comment on. They have a restroom. Parking is in the plaza in front, which is shared with a few other businesses, the major one being Ralph's. You can order on a large screen and tap to pay on it as well. Sad to say, but I really do not see myself coming back as Torrance has plenty of other coffee shops to go to 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.

Over the weekend I tried Moom Maam's Artisanal Thai Gelato and am now obsessed…read more I hadn't planned on getting dessert at 10am at Smorgasburg, but I did plan on a coffee. When scanning the shops for a caffeination boost, I couldn't stop thinking about the "Over Caffeinated Cold Brew Float" I saw advertised at Moom Maam. So intriguing! I circled back and ordered the indulgent morning treat, slightly skeptical of such a mix. I'm happy to report though that yes, it was a monstrosity to have first thing in the morning but I'd do it again in a second. You get to pick what flavor gelato is in the coffee and I went with chocolate to which they replied, great choice! I agree, it was such a good mix with the cold coffee brew. The gelato was so creamy with amazing flavor, I can't wait to come back and try more off their menu!

Moom Maam is so unexpectedly good it's hard to describe! When I first saw it opened in Torrance at…read morethe mall I was so excited, I love gelato & never tried thai gelato and this place exceeded my expectations! The portions are huge which is really nice so you feel like you get your moneys worth. The flavors are all super unique and really good I'm sure there is something for everyone. I love the thai tea of course, they have the best thai tea gelato I've had. The Matcha is really good too, very rich and strong matcha taste which I like. The Tofu & Kuronitsu is such a different but amazing flavor that I never had before but I'm obsessed! It tastes so good and creamy, full of flavor and just overall some of the best Gelato in the South Bay. So lucky to have a location so close to home. Before I forget the coconut rice waffle is the best thing ever!!! It honestly ruined regular waffle cones for me because now I always compare it to the Moom Maam cone. I always order the Special and it always has a little sticky rice at the bottom of the waffle cone which always soaks up the ice cream and it's the perfect little surprise at the bottom of the bowl. Moom Maam is always coming out with new flavors so it's always exciting to go and try something new. The menu is so huge too, I want to try their floats sometime because they sound amazing. Basically I can't rave enough about my new favorite gelato place in the south bay! It deserves so much more love please go check it out asap!

In the food court area of Mistuwa is this matcha place. They serve matcha drinks and matcha soft…read moreserve desserts. I had the matcha soft serve which reminded me a lot of the matcha in Japan; authentic.

If you're into desserts that aren't too sweet, the matcha soft serve here is perfect for you…read more The matcha soft serve itself was creamy and smooth. The matcha flavor was bitter, but in a good way. It was earthy and not too weak which I liked. It was also super aesthetic with the chocolate square which provided a nice and sweet contrast to the bitter matcha. Definitely a high quality dessert. This spot is located inside the Mitsuwa marketplace food court area with parking outside shared with the Del Amo mall. It can get pretty packed in the area. I would get the soft serve here again, but I am a bit skeptical about getting the drinks here. That's because the matcha drinks look super diluted based on the color.

Such a cute and hidden spot in Long Beach! I ordered the Dutch apple pie slice and whiskey peach…read morepie slice with ice cream. Both were absolutely delicious. Very warm and comforting.

This pie tasted like it was full of sugar and the crust was awful. I love a good pie and this crust was too thick in a bad way and bready. It was not soft and the filling was massively lacking, being ALL crust and no bosenberry made me feel like it was not worth the steep price we had paid for it. I did preorder the pie so it was ready and they were nice and made sure that I picked it up in time.

Apparently the theme of the evening was snacking while waiting for dinner. While killing time…read morebefore our table at Momo Paradise, we wandered into this charming little shop devoted almost entirely to chestnuts. One thing was immediately clear: everyone was ordering the snowstorm. Most people seemed to go with either the matcha or the original, though they also had other flavors like sesame. Naturally we followed the crowd and ordered the matcha. It's matcha soft serve topped with chestnuts, and it turned out to be a great little pre-dinner snack -- creamy, earthy, and not overly sweet. What surprised me most was that they carry different types of chestnuts. I preferred the smaller ones, which were softer, more moist, and sweeter. The larger ones were firmer, but you can buy them already peeled, which honestly feels like a luxury if you've ever battled chestnut shells before. It's a quirky specialty shop, but a fun one to browse. And judging by the number of snowstorms coming out of the kitchen, that's clearly the move here.

I've been wanting to check this place out for some time now…read more I always see it passing down the street and finally got the chance last weekend. Hisaya Kyoto specializes in all things chestnuts, including soft serve chestnuts, and chestnut baked goodies. I came on a hot day and got their vanilla and chestnut soft serve on a cone. I also got one of their chestnut cakes. The ice cream was very creamy and definitely a good treat after my lunch. The small cake was not too sweet and light. It had some sweetened chestnuts inside which was really nice. It came out hot and went well with the ice cream. They also have cookies, donuts, and a variety of ice creams as well. They also have drinks like their chestnut milk too. For soft serve they have their fuji soft serves which comes with toppings. I want to come back to try their other items. The people behind the counter wasn't the friendliest and out items took awhile. The inside is small and casual and not really anywhere to sit. But they do have seating outside. There is plenty of parking since it is on a strip mall.

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.
