I wanted to update my review because my most recent visit completely changed my experience. As…read morealways, the food and pastries were amazing, but what truly stood out this time was the service. Anais was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and attentive, and she made us feel genuinely comfortable and appreciated from the moment we walked in. She's so nice and positive energy made such a difference and really elevated the entire experience. This visit reminded me why Sweet Wheat has so much potential not just because of the quality of the food, but because of team members like Anais who truly care about customers. I'm happy to say I'll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Anais, for such a lovely experience!

Dropped by Monday morning to pick up lunch and treats. They have a really big selection of cakes,…read morepastries and sandwiches. Got the smoked salmon croissant sandwich, quiche, iberico ham baguette, chocolate croissant, tarte tatin, chocolate almond French toast. Overall everything was good. Our fav was the quiche and French toast. Still in search of a great chocolate croissant. Would likely go back to try other items. I got a latte and my mom got a cappuccino. My latte was just ok but my mom thought the cappuccino was really good. Service was good. I was pretty indecisive going back and forth looking through the options and the guy was very patient. (No one was behind me in line). He was helpful with his recommendations on what to get.

At first, you'd be confused since you're not sure what type of food they have to offer. I ordered…read moremyself the Yasai Bolognese and my lady got herself the Unicorn Bolognese. They were both made with Wagyu beef, which has lots of flavor in the sauce. The pasta as very well prepared!! The service is great, very respectful and responsive, although we arrived at 2:30p on a Friday which was a holiday (not so busy). Loved what they did with the space. They have multiple tables indoor and a cute little outdoor seating area with heaters if need be. They have a few parking spots, but they're in the back of the building. They only have one restroom which was very well maintained as well. Overall highly recommend this place. Ivan was very helpful!!

This was our first experience dining here. We had a reserved table for 6:45 on a Friday evening…read more Parking was available in their parking lot next to the restaurant. When we walked in the first words out of the hostess's lips were "Do you have a reservation?" Hardly welcoming. Fortunately, our waiter, Dennis, was very gracious and attentive. I honestly didn't get a Japanese vibe, maybe because I rarely go to dine on pasta. I ordered the Unico Bolognese which was very flavorful and a good size portion. Our waiter asked if we'd like some garlic bread and we got two pieces for $6 which we felt should have been complimentary. But the garlic bread had a nice flavor and went well with the meal. My guest had the Uni Truffle and loved it. He said he'd love to dine here again and I feel the same way. The menu was large so we need to explore other items next time. All in all they're doing a very good job managing the establishment.

I pleasantly liked the matcha banana bread, even though I'm not really a banana person. I think the matcha flavor was strong enough to overpower be banana (crazy because banana holds its own) and the bread was nice and light, not dense. This is located in the food court of the Del Amo mall. Plenty of seating in the area as well as many other Asian food shops.

I think it's safe to say that there can be too much of a good thing because matcha was rich and a little too much for me. The powder was grainier than I'd like. It's a decent quality matcha! Just too much for me. I guess I should have stuck with a latte.

Loved the black sesame flavor and I have zero complaints. Shaved ice likely also incorporated condensed milk, so that was also a plus Interior was clean, restroom was clean, ambiance was not too loud when I visited during afternoon hours

When I asked what the cashier thought about a couple of the flavors I appreciated her honesty. I ended up liking the coconut chocoate chip ice cream. The graham on was also really good and had great texture (reminded me of chocolate malted crunch in a way IYKYK). My son tried mint chocolate chip and mud chocolate and he liked both. The portions are hearty! It was so good I'm amazed I actually almost ate the entire thing and this was following a filling dinner. I want to go back for another one! I just saw there is one in Manhattan Beach. Yay! Parking: Large private lot for the shopping center. Decent spots. Not too big, not too small.

I had a very disappointing experience at Hansel's Ice Cream Redondo Beach Location…read more I came in to order for my two young children and was simply asking questions about portion sizes since they don't offer kids servings. The employee refused to accommodate a simple request, then accused me of having an attitude and closed the service window in my face. When I asked for a manager, another employee came out and said they supported the coworker and also refused to serve me. I was eventually served only after being told to "not have an attitude." I only completed the purchase because I had promised my kids ice cream, but the overall experience was disrespectful, unprofessional, and felt discriminatory. I would not recommend this place, especially for families.

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!

Tried Moom Maam at Smorgasburg Los Angeles at ROW DTLA, the big Sunday pop-up food event downtown…read more The event itself was pretty cool, although a few of the vendors I was hoping to try apparently didn't show up that day. Luckily this was one of the stands that had good reviews, so I gave it a shot. Between the language barrier and my excitement for dessert, I somehow ended up ordering more than I planned. The ice cream was good and the Asian-inspired flavors were definitely different from the usual. It didn't completely blow my socks off, but it was a solid treat. I kept thinking a little syrup or extra topping would've taken it up another level. Overall, glad I tried it. Half the fun of these food events is randomly discovering stuff you normally wouldn't eat anyway. I'd probably check out their Torrance brick-and-mortar location sometime and give them another shot.

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.
