Cool Beans - Flat White - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

See all

Opens at 8, got there at 9. Wanted crepes and matcha latte. Got upsold "similar" dry "sweet breakfast" that crumbles and was more expensive because they ran out of crepes. Kind of odd considering you dont make a lot of food and didnt have it 1 hr after opening. Also had cinnamon which wasn't listed and that I hate. Leads me to believe that things weren't planned very well for opening or there was a massive influx of people that happen to come on a Thursday morning that I missed. Matcha latte was more ice than anything else. For the price I paid I would've been happier anywhere else read more

Their Iced Matcha latte was great and the Honeycake is amazing! Cute little spot in south Torrance.

There's no other cafe options around here quite like this spot. Very chill setting on the inside. Fresh healthy ingredients. They just opened so some of the menu items were sold out. The sausage they use is my fav kind. Helpful staff. I'll def be coming here more regularly. read more

Cool Beans - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Great, cozy place with quality food and very friendly service. If you want to try eastern European breakfast food and really interesting specialty coffees, make sure to stop by. read more

I come here as much as possible. Cool Beans is a much needed casual coffee and lunch place in our complex, and I drop by every work break I have. Coffee: the standard espresso fare is good, with the coffee flavor coming out nicely in the milk drinks (cappuccino). Raf coffee is a neat discovery, kind of like a hot version of a nitro texture. Other drinks: the lemonades blew me away, they are basically sparkling mocktails. There are several options, but their original strawberry orange lemonade is an order I come back to. The teas are also brewed fresh and loose leaf, a perfect pairing for their baked goods! Meals: the shakshuka is a great healthy option, and the portion is enough to keep me going until dinner. I also appreciate that the omelet plates are balanced with toast and salad. Bakery items: The honey cakes are another regular order of mine. They got the balance of the crumbly dry honey body with the cream just perfect. I have also sampled some Central Asian/Russian items they have rotated through the menu (meat pie, chocolate-coated cottage cheese, etc.). I'm looking forward to their future menu expansions! Service: the owners and workers are always friendly, and it is so nice to have a chat in a relaxing place in the middle of my workday. I proudly support Cool Beans and am so happy that their first month is off to a strong and wonderful start. read more

Such a cute find! We ordered lattes, avocado toast, syrniki, and honey cake. It was also delicious! Staff was kind and friendly as well. We will definitely come back and recommend to others! We didn't take pictures... read more

Food is amazing A cozy corner coffee shop Friendly Staff It reminds me of a small town shop where you meet up with your friends for coffee and breakfast and pastries read more

Went on a Sunday around lunch time. They do not have much indoor seating. The indoor seating that did have was taken up people who had dogs, which is definitely a health code violation. I hadn't noticed before I ordered or else I would have walked right out. Had to eat outside, where they had left black metal tables and chairs in the sun and were burning hot. Tried to order a couple of things off the menu and was told they weren't available like crepes or samsy. They are apparently changing their menu. Got the syriniki, avocado toast, cherry cheese croissant and a chocolate chip cookie. I asked for the eggs on the avocado toast on the side as I wanted to share it with my young son who doesn't like savory cream cheese. They left everything on the toast. The salad the toast came with was barely dressed so it felt like eating just oily salad. The cherry cheese croissant was good. The syriniki was ok. Asked for water and was only given 2 glasses for 3 people. The prices reflect the amount of food you get. Left the place still feeling hungry. read more

What a great little gem in torrance! Their breakfast is amazing, the shop is adorable and the service is top notch. I especially loved the fact that they have partnered with a local book seller @thefleuria and have allowed her to set up a shelf in store. My only feedback is that the coffee lacks a bit of imagination on the flavor side - which in a city like LA with so much coffee competition is not a great thing but I hope they're able to figure it out as they're still pretty new! Definitely check this spot out if you're in Torrance! read more

Randomly found this place when I was searching on Yelp if there is any new breakfast place at southbay. Well guess what! Cool beans! It is such a cute place! The coffee was great. The food was great. The service was great! Only thing is the place was a bit small. There are only 3 small tables which cannot accommodate if you have a big party. They do have a few tables outside. read more

Cool Beans - Avocado toast & shakshuka (must try) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

My experience from this place has been okay. I had the matcha ice latte and it was alright. I tried ordering some items to-go but apparently only some of the meals can be taken for takeout, as some are only for dine-in. The items were underwhelming, and also overpriced. Not sure about it tbh, but the service of this place was pleasant! The place was also cute & quaint. read more

Love this place! Cozy vibe, tasty food, and I can't stop ordering the syrniki as they're incredible read more

It was my first time here, and everyone was extremely friendly. The cashier recommended that I try the RAF hot coffee -- a creamy, sweet coffee originating from Russia -- and it was fantastic. I also had their breakfast: the turkey ham and cheese omelette, which was delicious as well. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Russian pancakes were delicious; fluffy yet crispy on the outside placed upon a bed of sweetness and sour cream with fresh fruit - perfecto. Espresso = Good. Can't wait to go back. read more

The coffee is yummy and the atmosphere is cute! The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because they don't have chocolate to make mochas! Why not? Please add it to your menu and I'll be there more often! read more

My teen and I went for brunch. She got the eggs and sausage plate and I got the Shakshuka. We sat at a table outside and the food came pretty quickly. She said the eggs and sausage were fabulous. My shakshuka was surprisingly bland. Her strawberry orange lemonade was delicious, and my flat white was great as well. The outside tables lack ambiance as you're basically next to the parking lot, but inside is compact but cozy and cute. The honey cake slice we took home was light, fluffy and delicious, not too sweet. Other baked goods also looked good though not tried. We'll be back! read more

Had a wonderful breakfast..and coffee ?would highly recommend. Small but some outside tables too. read more

It's not only delicious, it's also healthy. Great atmosphere. The vernissage of the author's photographs also gave me aesthetic pleasure. So the saying of the Roman emperors is relevant - people will be happy if you give them food and a show:)...I'm happy read more

I'm really sorry, but this place was not what all the other reviews have portrayed. The only reason why this is not a one-star review is because the staff (owners?) were incredibly sweet/kind and it's a cute space. We ordered the avocado toast, shakshuka, and the "American plate" for our meals. The avocado toast: the bread was NOT toasted... pretty much the name of the item and the bread wasn't toasted. It's just bread, mayo, scrambled eggs, avocado and pepper: $13.50. The shakshuka: stewed tomatoes and eggs. Very basic, no additional seasoning, nothing special: $15. The American plate: don't be fooled, it's not actual "sausage," it's hot dog. So, three eggs (unseasoned), two hot dogs, a piece of barely toasted bread, and undressed greens with cherry tomatoes: $18!!!!! That's right, almost $20 for a meal you could easily make at home at least 3 times for that price. For $1.30 more, you could go to an actual bakery that makes their own bread, gives you house made sausage with a ton of flavor, dressed salad, and delicious bfast potatoes with your eggs. (See Lodge Bread, you won't be sorry for the drive) There was also a massive misunderstanding before we actually saw what the American breakfast entailed. We tried to order sides of eggs and "sausage" for my daughter who was likely to be less than enthusiastic about a salad. However after asking multiple times, it was clear that "sides" of these items were lost in translation. I then requested just to get a full American breakfast, and figured I would just eat the salad and "toast" myself. When only eggs and hot dogs were brought on the plate and the staff explained that "that's all we had requested," I about fell out of my chair. I had paid $18 for three unseasoned eggs and two hot dogs???? As I said, the staff was sweet and quickly brought us salad and lightly toasted bread, but still, who on Earth would pay those prices for that food!! We did try the raved about honey cake as well (as you can tell, we swung big during ordering and very much regretted spending a dime after we received our food), this was also pretty basic. Like graham crackers with icing. Good, but I certainly wouldn't say "life-changing." For a bunch of food we really could have made at home for a fraction of the price, we will not be returning. We wanted to try something new, but we should have just eaten at The Pan next door or driven a little further for food we know is worth it. read more

Love the Matcha Latte/Tonic and the cheesecake! No hype, cheesecake is a must-try. A noticeable balance of sweet, creamy, and textural fluffiness. Will be back! read more

I wholeheartedly recommend this place. My sister and I came here for breakfast today and were so happy we stumbled upon this café by chance. I had the syrniki -- it tasted just like the breakfast from my childhood. My sister got the avocado toast and loved it too. You should also try the raf -- it's amazing. Service: 10/10 Food: 10/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 We'll definitely be coming back as often as we can. Huge thanks to Gulnura, who served us so kindly and warmly! read more

Amazing place in South Bay for breakfast. Homemade handmade farmers cheese signature food like sirniki, avocado toast with cream cheese amazing. Coffee raf was so creamy and flavorful. Can't wait to come back and try more menu items. Great location. Friendly staff. Made me feel like home in Eurasia's coffee shops. Great ambiance, comfy seats by the window. Also, outside sitting area available too. Guys are hard workers. Go support your local family owned business! read more

First off, this is much more than a cafe. They have a very interesting menu that includes some Eurasian dishes as well as breakfast standards such as omelets and avocado toast. Tried a central Asian treat called Medovik which is a layered honey cake. It was really, really good. Also tried a farmers cheese pancake called Syrniki which I will be ordering many times in the future... it was really tasty, They use house-made farmers cheese... this restaurant really prizes quality ingredients. As expected from the restaurant's name, the coffee was fresh and high-quality. The staff (co-owners?) was very friendly and welcoming. This is a place where I will be a regular! read more

I ordered the cheese pancakes and another item that included tomatoes and cheese. The food was good and service was great.

Such a cute little cafe! The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious. I love getting the omelettes when I come here. They also have a special pancake from their country of origin. read more

Delicious espresso and shakshuka! This cute and cozy cafe is a hidden gem in South Bay

The coffee and cookie were both very enjoyable. However, I personally felt that $10 for a single cookie was a bit too pricey, so I may not purchase it again in the future. read more

Super cute!! Staff is super nice! And the food and drinks is amazing!! I love the sparkling strawberry and orange lemonade

This is a cute little cafe that serves pastries, breakfast and drinks. I love the Honey Cake, not too sweet and very tasty. Hope more people give this place a try. The people that run the shop are friendly and welcoming. read more

Cute little place. Glad I stopped by. The honey cake was so good! I'll have to come again to try their other things

Tastes as good as Brad Pitt looks. It gives off such an amazing vibe Their avocado toast is so good

To me their avocado toast is the best I've ever had. A cream cheese covered sourdough toast, with layer of scrambled eggs and then the avocado! This accompanied by a salad. Both are delicious! But, my favorites are their sweet items. The Honey Cake and the San Sebastián cheese cake excellent! All this comes together because of the great service the staff provides. read more

Lovely owners and staff. Fresh ingredients. Omelettes, coffees, honey cake and a strawberry lemonade were all great. We'll be back to punch our Cool Beans reward card for sure. Love the name too! read more

Such a great place for coffee and treats! Such a great addition to our community. Highly recommend. Keep up the good work! See you soon!

Local place, very friendly and clean. The staff is so nice and helpful. The food was awesome, I had a mushroom omelet that was cooked perfectly with Gruyère cheese and came with a salad and very fresh farmer style bread. So tasty! I also had a cappuccino that was so good. I recommend this place over all. read more
