Looked on Yelp for some Coffee shops nearby before I went to dinner...boom found this odd place hidden on Crenshaw and saw this Seasonal Menu that intrigued me.... I personally don't usually get some weird concoctions but I had to go with this Root Beer Latte!!! Got it with Oat Milk..... Hey this wasn't too bad! The place is rather small with 2 small tables indoors and some seating outdoors..... The employees were cool and nice and though the place is unassuming I liked it! I chilled for a bit spoke to the employees during the downtime as they were cleaning as well..... I definitely would come back.... read more

This coffee shop caught my eye a few months ago because the name reminded me of the rapper named Offset. Ha! Any who, the two are unrelated. We came in pretty early just a few minutes after they opened. There's a parking lot in front. But we accidentally parked in front of the business next door. No problem there since they weren't even open yet! I opted for an oat milk cortado with a pump of rose while my sister got the same thing, but as an iced latte. With two baristas at the counter, our drinks only took a few minutes. They also sell a few baked goods options. A few folks came in to order black coffee, but that was about it. Not too many people coming in around 7am! It's tiny inside. Only a couple tables and a handful of chairs. There's seating outside though but still not much. Overall, fabulous espresso! I enjoyed my cortado and wouldn't mind coming back! read more

Went in looking for a quick coffee shop and this one had the aesthetic but not taste. Ordered the hazelnut latte, while price is the same as a Starbucks it is smaller. Taste was okay but would not get it again. I had a cookie and looked good but tasted like a cookie out of a vending machine. Overall 3.5/10 Had more the cool coffee shop look, but no coffee shop smell of fresh beans or coffee aroma like other shops. read more

First, service was good. The worker was really nice and answered my questions. I am more disappointment about my drink. I went with his recommendation of flavored latte. When I got my order, it was mostly milk. To the point where the drink color was mostly all white with a slight hint of brown. I couldn't even taste the coffee. I'm not sure if this was the standard or I just got a bad drink. He even topped off the drink with more milk! But overall, very disappointed about the latte which is sad because I was really looking forward to trying this place. read more

I stopped in for a latte because it was a new place for me The latte was the best! And service was very sweet Thx u I will be returning Marti read more

Small shop on the corner of an odd 3 store strip mall. The 2 shops next to it weren't open. Got a regular latte, which was good. Didn't see their Xmas seasonal menu, otherwise I would've tried their gingerbread seasonal drink. The salmon toast was tasty. Got 2 bags of whole beans as well ( they don't have decaf whole beans ). Since they were closing up as I got my bags, they gave me 2 drip coffees for free. Which was really nice. Haven't tried the whole beans yet. But the packaging was cute. read more

Now I have been going here since... see previous review. I was even happily supporting this business during the pandemic and even today I got a rose latte and another with macadamia and an avocado toast and all of that was very wonderful and i enjoyed it. But the service has been inconsistent. For example, the guy who took my order today was a gentleman and he was friendly and had a wonderful attitude. But, in general some of the ladies working there have really bad attitudes. I don't want to name names (nor will I), but they wont even acknowledge you when you come in, they wont say hi or how are you. I felt so awkward the last few times i went in. I had to resort to mobile order to avoid going to the cashier. I thought it was just me, but a couple yelpers echoed my concerns. Its hard to give this place 3 stars after recommending this to so many people, including friends and family. But since the last review, there are multiple coffee shops in the area that have opened with consistent friendlier service. I don't know. read more

Nice coffee spot in south bay (Torrance) area. Small cafe with 2 tables indoors and a few outdoors. The staff were friendly and service was very quick. Got some lovely drinks (cap and latte) and enjoyed them indoors with the festive decor all around. To get the wifi, one must ask for the Wifi from the baristas as there are no signage posted for the wifi password. Offset has a dedicated parking lot with ample spaces so no need to fret on parking around the area. Will recommend this cafe spot to yelpers! read more

As an ex Starbucks partner turned home barista, I love to check out less commercialized coffee. I've had my eye on this place for a while. Consistently great reviews all around, but they're only open 7 am to 5 pm, which is when I'm normally at work. Fortunately, today I had a short day, so I could kill a little time here while I waited for traffic to die down. I was pleasantly surprised. The vanilla nitro cold brew was super smooth. Nothing was overpowering, not the coffee, milk, or vanilla syrup. It was a pleasure to sip. I sat here for 30 minutes enjoying the small dining area. It's clean and bright on the inside, and the staff are very pleasant to everyone coming in. 10/10 coming again if I'm around during operating hours. I just wish they were open a little sooner for us hospital people, hehe... read more

Offset Coffee Roasters - Front counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Perfect hot latte. Temp. Flavor. Texture. Yum yum yum. I went with a whole milk lavender vanilla latte.

Consistently excellent espresso drinks. Also had one of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever tasted here. The horchata latte is bomb-not too sweet. Not sure about other pastries as I haven't tasted any others. Parking can be a struggle-I sometimes park in the Kinecta/Aldi lot and then walk over so I don't deal with the small-ish and usually packed lot. It is a tiny place so it's fine for small group but place fills up quickly with folks getting their to-go orders. Cool ambiance and modern aesthetic. Not really a study friendly vibe. read more

Offset is a cute coffee shop in Torrance that is very easy to get to. They have their own parking lot that is free and unlimited time parking. It is a great place to study or do some work and they do have wifi. They don't have too many tables inside but they do have an outdoor patio. All the tables inside are also within reach of an outlet. The baristas are super friendly and they also have a seasonal fall menu! I got their cinnamon latte, I don't like super sweet coffee and this latte was not too sweet at all, it also had the perfect amount of cinnamon. I recommend checking this place out! read more

Offset's pretty much my go-to for the last few years. When Offset first started, they had a rotating supplier and it was actually really fun to try out the different beans and some were great, while some were a miss. However ever since they started roasting their own beans, I've found their offerings to be very good and consistent. You know what you are getting everything you order. While it was fun trying out different roasters, I think it's even better now. Huge fan of the breakfast items, esepcially the egg & bacon biscuit. Egg salad toast is a close second! On the weekends it can definitely sell out so be sure to go a bit early. Ordering online is easy and a really great addition. read more

I ordered a lavender almond milk latte and my bf ordered a coconut vanilla latte. I could tell by the color before I even took a sip, that it wasn't going to be good. The coffee flavor was weak, I felt like I was mainly drinking milk with syrup. The staff should work on the milk to espresso ratio and learn how to make proper espresso drinks. I was excited to try this spot, but was greatly disappointed. Such a waste of time and money. read more

++EXCELLENT COFFEE IN TORRANCE++ Finding legit coffee in Torrance is like a needle in the haystack, and here comes Offset to the rescue. PARKING ======== Not many spaces, but we managed to find a spot every time. Depends on time and day. AMBIANCE ========= There are a few tables outside in front and a few inside. Good lighting, good vibes. Minimalist and cool. RATING: 5/5 CAPPUCCINO =========== Bold, strong, and aromatic. Great with a pastry (if they have availability, get one). I also request in a ceramic cup and the staff complies. Tastes so good. RATING: 5/5 OVERALL ======== Service is very friendly and kind. No snobbery, good attitude. Love that. Highly recommend if you're ever in dire need of good coffee, and you happen to be in the South Bay. RATING: 5/5 read more

The coffee here is pretty good. So an A for coffee. The interior is clean and minimal. Pretty small but they have a long outdoor bench and counter. But somehow I didn't feel much warmness or friendliness. It was kind of a dull atmosphere. Maybe giving it a touch of smiles and welcome from the employees may pump up this business. Full of people hanging out working so apparently others may like the atmosphere. read more

I came here not too long ago to try out a new cafe during finals week. Normally I'm not much of coffee drinker, but I did notice that Offset Coffee does have a somewhat wide menu that expands into teas and other drinks. I had the Matcha Passion Milk Tea that is part of the seasonal off menu, and the Salmon Lox. The Matcha Passion was very a milky tea with hints of matcha and lavender. I personally would've liked a bit of a stronger matcha flavor but it was still good. The lavender is also very light. The Salmon Lox was really good. The sourdough was very crunchy and nice. The dish overall was very refreshing and light. I enjoyed the Lox a bit more than I did the tea, both were fairly good. The cafe itself is very small, but decorated nicely. There were only two tables and a barstool seating area. Parking is also really small as well. read more

My go-to coffee shop in Torrance! Offset has been around for a few years now, but I remember being so struck by the realization that there hadn't been any legit coffee shops in the area until Offset arrived. Their coffee is always so good and really made with so much care and craft. You literally cannot go wrong with anything on their menu. (I LOVE their pumpkin spice latte. I wait with anticipation for fall each year) While not as conducive a space for studying since the shop is on the smaller size, it is a great place for catching up with friends! If you do need to study though, they do have wifi and outlets. read more

Came here based off other reviews raving about the drinks and food. I ordered the lavender matcha latte which was very watered down and barely tasted of matcha or lavender. It was essentially just milk. It was also quite expensive for the drink I received and was definitely not worth it. I can only base my review off my order but my friend mentioned that her americano was very good so maybe I'll have to try the coffee instead. Their avocado toast looked very good and was aesthetically pleasing. read more

I tried out the matcha latte and hazelnut latte from here. Both tasted like watered down milk and so I couldn't finish the drinks which is unfortunate considering the price. I don't think I would come back here. The workers were very nice though. read more

CUTE coffee shop in a small lot with a nice view of Palos Verdes. It's small inside but super clean and I like the aesthetic. There are a few seats outside and the view of Palos Verdes makes it a nice spot to chill at. I tried their lavender latte and it definitely had a different taste than other coffee shops that I've tried this latte at. Overall, a very cute meet up spot that's more intimate than a Starbucks. read more

Offset Coffee Roasters - Cute - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

TLDR: convenient location, good coffee, stable wifi, small space. First off, open till 5 pm. Mega pro in my book. More coffee shops need to stay open till 5-7 pm! Second, coffee was good. I got an iced americano and asked for a dash of oat milk, which they forgot to do, but I didn't say anything cuz the espresso tasted pretty good on its own. Fairly priced. 12 oz iced americano cost $3.75 plus tax. They had a place to stand and work, which is another major pro. I think the one thing to know is there is very limited indoor seating (fairly small space), which on a Wednesday afternoon wasn't a problem. But I could see it getting crowded on a weekend? Good amount of outdoor seating but it's on Crenshaw so pretty noisy/not cute. Employees were so nice, and wifi worked well for me! Would return fo sho. read more

The barista recommended lavender syrup instead of simple syrup to sweeten my tea and it was DELICIOUS!

Would definitely come back to test their wifi speed and for another great cup of coffee or tea! :) read more

I was in the neighborhood for work and was looking for a local coffee shop to get some work done when I found Offset. It seemed like a nice enough coffee shop and had good reviews so I decided to give it a shot. Service was great but the coffee was okay (I didn't get a chance to try the food). What's warranting this one-star review is the fact that the AC was BROKEN and it was getting unbearably hot inside the coffee shop. I tried moving tables thinking it was where I was sitting, but it didn't matter - it was hot EVERYWHERE inside the coffee shop. I ended up leaving after 20 minutes when I planned on staying a couple hours to get another coffee and grab a bite to eat. Very unfortunate that the AC was broken and I couldn't enjoy my time at Offset. read more

Got the iced vanilla oatmilk latte. It was good, but a bit overly sweet in my opinion. And i asked for half sweetened so i could only imagine full sweetness. Next time i'll ask for less sweetener. Will be back read more

Offset Coffee Roasters - Vanilla Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

My first visit here was a good visit. They have a table set up outside for ordering, but I ordered through a food delivery service. They mentioned at pick-up that you can order directly through their website. I got the matcha latte which has 2oz matcha and 10oz of milk. It was simple and good, if you like matcha that is. They also have the seasonal drinks, so I tried the mint mojito, a tribute to the infamous Philz drink. The mint and brown sugar-infused latte is both sweet and refreshing. It was comparable and now I have 2 places I can get this drink! I would like to come to Offset Coffee again to try their other drinks, especially the seasonal ones! read more

I'm giving this place a 4/5 stars, everything about this place was great except for the baristas vibe. The guy helping out wasn't very friendly or helpful with us and when we sat down it just felt like we had to rush to get out of there because we didn't feel comfortable. The coffee and the food were both Oh so delicious and we made sure to sit there and enjoy it, but that's the only reason we haven't gone back. We don't want to get that experience again. It's unfortunate because we loved the coffee and the food. read more

*Covid-19 Review* +Parking: Small parking lot across from In n out and they follow the CDC restrictions. You may sample here, b/c... food & drinks and 6 ft/mask rules...You know the drill by now, it's 2021. +Coffee: There is really some potential for Offset Coffee! Their home brewed Nitro & Cold Brew tastes wonderful! The Nitro is velvety and smooth; meanwhile, the cold brew has a sweet after taste. Unfortunately, the Macadamia Capp & the Cortado did not do it for my BF and I, in which we venture to find espressos for him. They also have Guatemala, Ethiopia, etc. drips in rotation. Although, it seems as though the flavor profiles resemble sweeter flavors. I will be back for the Nitro & cold brew though! Super hipster and the staff were super friendly! read more

I came here because we wanted a good coffee shop in the area. Based on the reviews, we decided to give offset a try. We really wanted to the nitro cold brew but just like the other reviews stated, they were out of it. I ended up getting the macadamia iced mocha latte and it was really good. Not too sweet at all. My husband got the iced horchata latte and I didn't love it. It tasted like way too much cinnamon in it. easy free parking in the shopping center read more

The coffee here is a hit or miss for me. Sometimes the milk to espresso ratio can be off when I order flavored lattes. However, my favorite avocado toast is sold here. It is refreshing and filling and perfectly seasoned. I always want this toast as my breakfast on my birthday. It is slightly overpriced but for the quality of ingredients, I think it is worth it. read more

Offset Coffee Roasters - Avocado Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

This review is for the Offset on Crenshaw Blvd in Torrance, the first of their stores. I was really excited when this store opened. Now I'm back after being away for a while, and what is going on??? The bathroom is absolutely disgusting. It smells like urine. The urinal is dirty. The floor is dirty and the toilet brushes are full of poop!!! They used to play nice music here but the speaker is now broken and rattling. It sounds terrible. As I sit and drink my flat white, I swear I can still smell urine from the bathroom. The paint of the wall behind me is all scuffed and dirty and the coffee just isn't the same. Tastes watery. This used to be a nice coffee place but it has really taken a dive. I won't be going here anymore. If they can't clean the bathroom, you kinda wonder about the food prep and everything else. Yikes. read more
