    Mango Crepe Cake
    Jon A.

    The family and I stopped into Caffé Bene after grabbing food at Arby's, curious to give it a try. Their self-ordering kiosk was a little confusing since not all pastries were listed, but the counter staff was very kind and helped me place my order at the register. We decided on the Banana Walnut Cake and the Mango Crepe Cake. The Banana Walnut Cake was a letdown--it felt more like a thick slice of Texas Toast than an actual cake. It was warm and tasted fine, but for $13 I expected something more substantial, like a pound cake. The Mango Crepe Cake, on the other hand, was delicious. It had a light, cheesecake-like texture with delicate layers and was easily the better of the two. Overall, while the service was friendly, I don't see myself returning here for dessert. The prices felt too steep for what was offered.

    Taro latte
    Alan B.

    Came here for a meeting on a Saturday night and the lot was packed. There were other stores and shops and I had to wait a few to get a spot. The place inside is huge and a lot of students inside studying or working on something with their laptops. What's funny was I thought this is Coffee Bean that's why I picked the place and when I got there I realized it's a Korean knock off lol. I ordered the taro latte. It was not too sweet but really hit the spot. It's a cross between coffee and dessert. We were able to find a spot to practice our presentation but felt all the tables were bunched up together so it's hard to get privacy. Overall: they had food/ice cream/desserts on the menu. We just came from dinner so none of us were able to try anything. Might be back again to try some items on the menu.

    Nice spacious place with a nice seating arrangement. The worst is parking in this plaza ... but I would say it was totally worth it !! They have a variety of teas, coffees and desserts. They also have a few lemonade mojito options & sandwich options that are on an amazing baguette. If you need a place to study, or want to meet up with a few friends.. this is your place! If you are a sweet treat person, you definitely need to add Caffe Bene to your list of late night sweet treat stops YUM!!

    I've always tried the Misugaru drink. And absolutely love it. Will definitely need to try their food and other drinks.

    Cheesecake W/ Dark Chocolate on top
    Michelle K.

    I met a couple of mu friends here to do a bit of catching up. I really wanted to try their pumpkin cheesecake but they didn't have any. So I tried the other cheesecake they had instead that had a hard layer of dark chocolate on top. I inhaled the cheesecake and left the chocolate. Lol! I also ordered a mocha frappe. It was yummy. The area we sat in was not as cozy. The chairs were so low that I felt like it was made for kids. Lol! If you don't have good knees, it's a really bad place to sit. The parking lot is pretty much always busy so be patient. If you come after dark, there is barely any lights on in the lot so be very careful.

    Cafe Bene in Torrance is my go-to spot for a relaxing and enjoyable Saturday. Whether I'm running errands or just want to unwind, Cafe Bene has something for everyone. The friendly staff, delicious food, and comfortable ambiance make it a perfect place to spend a few hours. I can easily spend hours getting work done with their amazingly delicious Cafe Saigon Coffee in hand. If you're in the area and looking for a comfortable place to chill, I highly recommend dropping by Cafe Bene as soon as possible. I would like to point out that parking in the shopping center is extremely poor, and the parking spaces are very close together. Additionally, the 30-minute markers on the parking curbs are completely ineffective because they are never checked according to the businesses in this center.

    always one of my favorite cafe a bit overpriced on their sandwiches though but its delicious

    Empty.....
    Oliver T.

    Would give it zero Stars if given the option. Walked in at 10am on a weekday, only one gentleman working on his laptop near the front window, otherwise empty. No Good Morning nor May We Help You from the two employees working the counter. Pricey Menu, poor service, needless to say we all WALKED OUT and drove over to Creme Pan. We just thought we'd try someplace different this morning..... Anyone who has been to Creme Pan knows their service and broad menu of fresh items sell out daily! Prompt, kind and courteous service confirms their manager has trained them well. Save the trouble of Caffe Bene's cramped parking lot too. Poor Service, Poor Parking, pricey menu....none and done.

    Egg ham and cheese Sandwhich

    Great food! The cafe looked spacious and seems like a place to go for doing work. The service was ok not too friendly, just direct. But the food was a great price and very tasty. Will come back and try the drinks.

    Caramel Latte Macchiato with whipped cream (.75 cents extra)
    Stephanie G.

    This place is an amazing place for those who like to study in coffee shops! It was quiet and calm even though there were quite a bit of people in there. The baristas were very warm and welcoming which made ordering easy and relaxing. The coffee, at least for me, was smooth. I liked the Caramel Latte Macchiato more than the Vanilla Latte. We also tried a Ham and Cheese sandwich without knowing what it had inside. To my surprise it had what I believe was pickled onion! I enjoyed the flavor, but maybe next time I'll order with less onion just because I'm not used to it- yet! The cheese on top of the sandwich was my personal favorite. Their food menu had a fair amount of options so I don't doubt this will be my last time here!

    Went here last week and I just wanted to make a review about their desserts because I think they're delicious and worth the price. I got a strawberry shaved ice dessert and didn't expect it to be up to 4 servings considering its size. I do think the ambiance is nice and perfect for studying or meetings.

    Reservation area

    The good: I tried the s'mores honey brick toast with charred marshmallow and an Oreo, a peach mojito refreshment (non-alcoholic) and a liege Belgian waffle with salted caramel gelato on top. I liked the crispy outside of the marshmallow and the soft gooey inside. The presentation of all the items were great. The interior of the shop is massive and has designated areas for laptop use or no laptop use (conversation areas). Lots of people were inside studying or working. The front left space was designated for reservations and groups. They also sold macarons and crepe cakes. I liked the peach drink that bad chunks of fruit at the bottom and fresh mint. The bad: They have croissant sandwiches but it seems like they use Costco croissants or some type of store-bought croissants. I suspect that the waffle is also pre-packaged and then just heated up. The drink was almost $8 which I thought was expensive because it was bubbly soda with syrup and a few fruit chunks. There's no outdoor dining. The interesting: I've been to a Cafe Bene in two other locations but their menus differ.

    Does the Misugaru Latte contain coffee or caffeine? I don't mind if it does, just wondering!

    I have it a handful of times and I don't remember it having caffeine in it.

    Are there many outlets to use for charging laptop/phone?

    Yes. We have tables close to electrical outlets.

    Are they open for indoor sitting, I need to find a spot for studying and coffee?

    Yes this place is a haven for students. Wifi is available. I took my daughter last night to study and found several students with their laptops doing their work. There are several tables and different setting areas for groups or individuals. I am… Read more

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.

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.

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.

You can actually taste the flavor of the earl grey and their matcha is really good. Together it's just the right amount of sweetness. If you're a coffee person, I recommend their New Orleans cold brew with cloud. The cold brew is delicious, but the cloud just gives it a little something extra.
