I'm so excited to find a new cafe spot in Torrance. This place is so cute and quaint - perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee or catching up with a friend. I love how friendly and helpful the service is, plus all the food recommendations I had were super good! We had shakshouka breakfast (delicious eggs) , matcha and cafe latte) , and a pastry. The Russian Napoleon pastry was my absolute favorite here. I would definitely recommend and come back!!! read more

I absolutely love this place! Their "Raf" is my favorite. The owners are a lovely couple who make you feel truly at home from the moment you walk in. The cafe itself is super cozy, with an art wall that they update from time to time. There's also a bookshelf with various books you can grab and read while enjoying your coffee and breakfast. Honestly, the perfect way to start your day. read more

Came in for the first time today and it was great! Adis was the person who helped me and he was so kind and attentive. I told him it was my first time and asked for his recommendation. He suggested I try the Matcha Latte and I add the mango jam and it was to die for. I was waiting for a friend so after they got there we got some coffee. I got an iced latte with strawberry jam and he got a regular iced latte! We both loved them. We also shared an avocado toast later which was to die for. The owners seem so kind and I love that it's family owned. The ambience is so nice, u love that they have books for sale and they have inside and outside seating! Will definitely be coming back to try more drinks and food. read more

Finally had a chance to stop by here for on lunch to grab a coffee and some food. Very quiet at Noon on a weekday, but hopefully that's just my luck. Went with the syrniki since it was something I've never experienced, and sounds unique at least around here. Wasn't disappointed, a delicious balance of sweet and savory. Next time I'll be getting a piece of the cheesecake which looked wonderful. read more

On a SUNDAY?) & the other was like $19.. so I wound up here, and thank god I did. I ordered to go, and although it took a minute (worker lmk that there was a mixup in the back but I wasn't in a rush so I didn't mind). The wait was well worth it. Easily best avacado toast I've had in a while. CHEFS KISS!! 10/10 will be back!! read more

I am so glad I visited Cool Beans today. I love visiting new coffee shops, and this one did not disappoint, with unique drinks and food, lovely service, and a warm, inviting space. I ordered the syrniki, which is a fluffy, farmers cheese pancake from Kyrgyzstan, and which might just be my new favorite food! It's a perfect mix of savory and sweet. To drink I got the iced espresso tonic, which was delicious. I ordered the honey cake to go, and loved it. Not too sweet, but had a wonderful flavor. Cool Beans has a space near the front of the shop featuring books and gifts from The Fleuria, a romance book truck, (another locally-owned small-business), that often has events at the cafe. I will definitely be coming back often - can't wait to try the shakshuka and the other drinks! read more

Excellent!! I purchased a cherry cheese danish, a blueberry muffin and I had to try the honey cake! The blueberry muffin was still warm and absolutely delicious ! The honey cake was really good it sounds super sweet but it is really perfect perfectly balanced with layers of sweet cream in the middle it's so unique and delicious. Definitely a must try. For me the star of the show was the cherry cheese danish! It was perfect and not might actually favorite dessert so this one was by far the best I've ever had! I will definitely be back as I also want to try the Shakshuka and Syrniki. There was a couple outside that tried both and i talked to them and they loved it. The strawberry Matcha was absolutely delicious I will definitely go back for that again as well ! There wasn't one thing that I didn't like! The owner is exceptionally nice and they actually have a book while where they're starting to do book events so the ambiance is also fantastic! Give it a try and support small business!

Aroma was so enticing ... they were impressed with everything: had gotten Honey Cake and the 2 stuffed cookies; they chose the Iced Americano and Iced Matcha Latte. We got the anticipated Shatshuka this time, another appreciated try for the Syriniki that we shared; reg'l cookies and Berry Danish. Shatshuka was yummy; Syrniki was much tastier, firmer than previous; White Choc was tastiest so far from 3xs; Banana Nut Muffin: able to taste the banana and spices; Danish was yummy ... Matcha Tonic, cos saw owner had; good, and provided caffeine needed; love Tonic Water; could really taste the fresh mint (love it) in our fav Strawberry/OJ!

Cool Beans is such a cute little addition into the long standing plaza it's located in. There seems to be a sweet sense of community already in its walls. The inside seating is cozy and super cute & there is a bookshelf with romance novels, which are delivered and set up by a traveling romance novel company. It's very cute to see :) stopped by to get a matcha latte & was very impressed with their selection & their execution. They had a hojicha latte along with the matcha & wow ! The matcha was very good & their base for their lattes is unsweetened which is refreshing to see & delicious to taste. The hojicha was really so amazing , the flavor was strong and bold. It was balanced perfectly with just the milk & ice. It has set the standard for me with trying hojicha lattes from other places. The service was very sweet & we were sold on one of their traditional meat pies. It was a little pricey for the side for it hit the spot , especially warmed up. It was so good , I would absolutely like to go back for more! read more

Walked by this place after lunch to checkout since the previous establishment (No Mad/Mediterranean food) frequented closed in a short period of time. Food: 5/5 Afternoon tea of Earl Grey in a coffee/tea press (3-4 cups) with large size honey cake was perfectly shared for 2 people. The honey cake is perfectly balanced, not too sweet, right texture. Perfectly paired with British style tea or even coffee. Service: 5/5 Although small in size compared to other coffee shops, the owner is very friendly and helpful. Ambiance: 4.5/5 It's pretty cozy cute setting with 3 tables inside with windows bench and chairs. Pretty cool with AC and feel relaxing. Just want to sit there enjoying the tea with cream and slowly eating the honey cake.

I stood in line for about five minutes waiting to be helped while multiple customers who came in after me were immediately acknowledged and assisted first. I was wearing a bright yellow shirt and standing clearly in view, so it was difficult to understand how I continued to be overlooked. I even glanced toward the camera because I genuinely could not believe what was happening. What disappointed me most was the customer service. When I later asked for the names of the staff members working during the interaction, Nick, Anianas, and two others.. they questioned why I was asking. I explained that I felt ignored and wanted to accurately reference who was present during the incident. As I was leaving, I overheard one of the workers say, "I feel bad for her walking out," which only added to the frustration because it confirmed they were aware of the situation the entire time. Sorry that I apparently did not fit the "typical clientele" you were more interested in helping first. This occurred between approximately 9:55 AM and 10:05 AM on Thursday, 5/21. Ironically, I had planned on purchasing a large order of pastries for my fiancé and his coworkers, but after the way I was treated, I decided not to spend my money here.

You pay at the counter and you can sit anywhere and the food and drink will be brought to you at the table. I enjoy my Earl Grey tea which was brought in a French press. Rockefeller's is my Go To place whenever I want to meet a friend thanks to the excellent service, food and ambience.

We chose a restaurant down the street from this place (Montauk), and boy was it terrible. My wife and I were still hungry and wanted dessert so we went to the Rockefeller, and it was a great choice. After dropping over $200 at the other place, we were pleasantly surprised to see the very reasonable prices for the food at the Rockefeller. We told our waiter that we were in a hurry to get our kids because of the bad experience that we had down the street and did a fabulous job of getting our food to us super-fast. Food: My wife got the baja fish tacos and they were presented amazingly and my wife loved them. I got the hot chocolate chip cookie and the bread pudding and literally inhaled both of them. Both were great. Ambiance: This place is so cute, inviting, relaxing, friendly, clean. Just a place that feels comfortable. Staff: Our waiter was so nice, understanding, quick and made a great recommendation on the bread pudding. Price: When we got our bill, just wow! The total bill was less than the tip that I left at Montauk and the food was 10 times better at the Rockefeller. This Rock(s)-efeller. Thank you! We will be back for sure.

SALMON POKE DELECTABLE ! Came here for lunch with my son and…read morewe loved everything we had. We started with the salmon poke and it was uniquely marinated and delicious (would think about getting this as my main next time). My son order the pick three (they also have a pick two). He got clam chowder which creamy and also uniquely flavored, it had bacon, he had the fish tacos which were delicious, the toppings made them even better, and the furikake fries. I ordered the steak sandwich, it was really good but a lot sweeter than I expected with a shallot jam. The bread was toasty and the melty cheese was great. We shared the fries but even had some extra to bring home. The only thing I didn't love was my cocktail. I don't remember what it was called some spicy tropical drink. It would have been ok but there was some cherry foam on top that I don't think was listed on the menu. I dislike cherry flavored stuff it tastes like cough syrup to me. So if I'd known I would have ordered something else or ordered it without the cherry. I would definitely come back again. I especially recommend the lunch specials they are a good price. The service was great! After lunch we walk down to the beach to enjoy the beautiful views!

We sat outdoors and it was a bit awkward all around the fire pit, since we had small kiddos, but I can imagine that would be nice at nighttime with the fire pit on. They have kids menus and crayons and can sub fruit for fries, which is great. Both kids got grilled cheese with fruit, and they liked it. My husband and I split some dishes: tuna crudo, peach and burrata salad, and crispy chicken sandwich. Tuna crudo was awesome - definitely recommend that one! Peach and burrata had a great flavor combo, but it basically is a dessert on some arugula lol. I was expecting fresh peach slices, but it looks like they were diced and marinated. Not too surprised since it is January :). Crispy chicken sandwich was good, but a bit too salty (I'm not usually one to say that either). They do have some non-alcoholic beers and lots of others + cocktails. Family friendly and good food and good location! Will definitely be back!

Enchiladas were delicious and had a very rich mole sauce. Parking is iffy depending on if you're familiar with the neighborhoods or what time you come. there's a small lot next door and a good amount of street parking if you're willing to walk a little block. The music is loud and the lights are dim with some neon ambiance lights which is a fun little vibe but I wouldn't recommend for a family unless you're okay with less talking or honestly sitting outside would be nice too! The service was great as well. I unfortunately forgot our servers name but she was very sweet and attentive to the party until later in the evening when it took a while to get our check sorted out but it's to be expected on a busy Saturday night in Redondo. I would return for a bday or special event. I'm interested in trying out their brunch too!

I fainted and when I came to my wife was by my side and the tall blonde manager/owner took the time out to stop by, sit down, and check on me, actually chit-chat-(that helps me a lot). I was upright the whole time-but the only thing missing from the picture was a fireplace and a dog. I felt safe and comfortable even though I'd fainted. It was nice cause I kind of unraveled all my anxiety after, he was really engaging. Glad I didn't faint at Jack in the box. :-) Talk about the all around service experience, this place responded great-he even asked if I wanted some tea. We hadn't been there in a while, but the food was great, portions seemed large and healthy-I got the Blue Plate special, Walnut Loaf for my wife-really filling healthy and the service was tight. Feeling comfortable and welcome was the successful focus. Extra bread for cheap really made it amazing. When I came to the other customer had left, but hopefully she got her sunglasses she left that we alerted the owner manager about, sorry if my casual attitude and conversational ribbing upset you ma'am-I trust you'll forgive me and simply remember your good food and service you had instead. Thanks Green Temple This place was attentive in a million ways-we left well fed, attended to, and again had a unique and exotic dining experience, charming, healthy and delicious. You guys are truly one of a kind.
