I love how this place is close by to where I live! Such a cute and cozy place. I always come back to get their Banana Cloud Matcha, so tasty! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. Can't wait to try their other drinks! read more

Soft Cafe - Banana Cloud Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hawthorne, California

It's about time Hawthorne gets cool stuff. I find myself driving to El Segundo because Hawthorne is limited in options and has no spaces for community members to come together. I visited Soft right after their official opening and it was alright. I did not like the drink I got. But honestly maybe I ordered the wrong thing. It's been a few months now and I decided to visit again. I love the space. There are always people sitting working, studying or chatting. The wifi works great which is a plus for me since I work remotely. I ordered a matcha latte and it was delicious. I think I will be back! It would be nice to spend more time in the city I live in and supporting a local/woman-owned business. Keep up the good work, Soft. read more

Very pricey and not that great, two regular (tall) drinks are 19 + . They also offer over price Costco pastries. Nothing special and will definitely not come back. read more

Cute little local spot that opened in the summer of 2025. Glad I gave it a shot and tried it! Street parking was relatively easy and there's a decent amount of tables to sit and study. The decor is great and gives a warm cozy vibe. Owner here was friendly. The Madagascar vanilla latte was fantastic. Perfect warm temperature to sip right off the bat. Rich and creamy but not too sweet. I also appreciate how the vanilla flavor is homemade as well as the honey cake. The honeycake was a great combo to pair with the coffee and would love to try the cheese cake next time! read more

This is a cute little cafe. It was easy to find parking here. The line was long in the morning, but I didn't have to wait too long for my drink. I tried the Ube Coconut Latte. It was a little too sweet for me; should probably try a different drink next time. read more

Cute spot to work remotely from or go for some coffee with a friend. There are a couple of tables and a couch with board games. I have only ordered the Acai bowls from here which are pretty good. They give you a lot of variety of fruit for the large $17. Service is decent. There are a couple of other places around but parking is fairly available. read more

Amazing time at soft Café for the first time I go up and down the street all the time and never knew it was there. The ambience that they've created in addition to the quality of the açai bowls guaranteed that I'll be back the server was beyond helpful and kind. She took her time to explain how everything works so that we would get exactly what we wanted and they're ordering processed super super super simple read more

First timers here, super cute inside looks like a nice place to grab a bite or something with some friends. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Only thing is the coffee was not my favorite. It was pretty bitter and tasted watery. Maybe I'd give there other things a try but as for coffee, I would pass. read more

I've been to Soft cafe a few times and I'm hooked. I tried their regular matcha latte at half sweet and it was perfect. The matcha is hand whisked to order and has a grassy earthy taste. The grinch matcha latte is on the sweeter side and very creamy. The toffee cloud latte is also a fave! It has the right balance of bittersweet. Their chocolate chip, coconut, and oatmeal cookie is also very tasty! The service has been consistent and friendly. I will absolutely come back for more! read more

Soft Cafe - Iced vanilla latte absolutely delicious - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hawthorne, California

A super cool coffee place. I actually found it on Yelp and the reviews were pretty accurate. I'll start out with what was a miss for me and then finish with why you should still check it out. I went there to meet a friend and talk and most of the tables are occupied by laptop campers. It's as quiet as a library in there. It's so quiet, whatever you say can be heard by everyone else. On top of that, it was super cold. Maybe they made it so cold so the laptop campers would pack it up sooner. It's a beautiful space and they add a lot to the business area. Street parking is plentiful right in front. A woman with awesome glasses took our order. We both had one of their craft lemonades. They were way too sweet, even sweeter than a soda pop. I wish there was a way to order the level of sweetness you want. The woman who served us was so kind we didn't have the heart to send them back. Still, they have all kinds of drinks, so you can surely find something you like. They also have sandwiches and artisan ice cream. They do a steady business, so the word it out! Give it a try! read more

Soft Cafe - Strawberry Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I like this place. I visited here to wait out traffic (which proceeded to increase as I drove so I had no reason to wait :'0) but I'm glad I visited! I got a rose cream matcha which wasn't on the menu I just wanted to try rose cream but it was too late for coffee and they were very nice about it! (Can you tell I'm afraid of asking for things that aren't on the menu? I'm irrationally afraid people will boo and/or spit on me) matcha was $6 and 1.5 extra for the cream when I went. It was very yummy and the experience and drink was worth it even though it's a bit expensive to me (which is everything these days so it's pretty reasonable and seems like the standard now) still worth it compared to other places anyway. The barista was also probably one of the friendliest and most attentive I've ever witnessed?? When I was leaving he unprompted asked if I wanted him to refill my water cup. I was planning on just eating the ice from that empty cup in the car because I was dehydrated but didn't feel like asking for water a second time. This man single-handedly saved me from shriveling up out of dehydration so shoutout to him. Very impressive social and drink-making skills. The ambiance was also very nice and cute. I liked how at night they put on one of those LED changing lights it felt like I was studying in the clerb B) I also liked the music. There was free parking out front and good amount of seating. I'd come here again if i lived closer and didnt have to waste away in traffic to get to this area read more

Soft Cafe - Rose cream matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Soft Cafe is unassuming, especially from the outside, but once you walk in, it is a nice, cozy oasis from the busyness of the week. Their coffees are delightful, and I always appreciate when a cafe makes their syrups in-house. Their madagascar vanilla latte was perfection, and their cold brew (which was what my husband ordered), was perfect to his taste, which is saying a lot, since he's the coffee snob. We also tried their viral dubai chocolate strawberry cup which was good, but not my favorite thing in the world, especially given the price. The strawberries were fire, though. I definitely need to come back to get that vanilla latte again. But next time, i also want to try their acai, sandwiches, and ice cream! They've got it all! read more

I didn't expect much from the outside as I drove past it twice (wasn't sure if they were even open), but walked in to a beautiful space, bustling with patrons, and wonderful menu (drinks, snacks, acai bowls, and ice cream), and the best part...wonderful service! I only tried the Madagascar Vanilla Latte this time, but plan to return to explore more of the offerings. Ordered iced, as is, with foam and topped with cinnamon. Delicious! read more

I came to this cafe last week. It looked like a nice place to grab a coffee and a pastry. I found a parking spot right out front. You need to veer off the main part of Hawthorne Blvd at 129th St and go into the little lane alongside the businesses. I missed this the first time and circled around the block. It was quiet and nearly all the seats were taken. I almost walked out because I wanted to dine in. I had the option of sitting on the couch near the front or at the bar height counter near the back. I chose the latter. I ordered a French Lavender Latte & Cherry Croissant at the counter and waited. It was ready quite quickly. I appreciated my Latte being served in a real cup. The presentation could have been neat, but it was a bit awkward. My coffee cup was put on an oval board along with my pastry which was in a wax paper bag. I was a bit disappointed it wasn't served on a plate. It wasn't great for pictures nor for eating. Anyways... other than for the plating, both were delicious! I enjoyed my French Lavender Latte! I loved the Cherry Croissant which reminded me of a Danish. It was so good that I bought one for my husband to try! They have an Açai bar & Artisan Ice Cream that I'd love to try. I am still thinking about the Cherry Croissant, but I would like to try something else next time. Not sure I will be able to choose anything else! LOL read more

I recently stopped by Soft Cafe for a quick pick-me-up after seeing that there was a new coffee shop on Yelp. Soft Cafe is a cute little spot on Hawthorne Blvd with parking options behind the store. The inside is modern yet homey. They offer coffee, tea, açaí bowls, grab and go foods, and ice cream. There's a place to read (with books) and a large tic-tac-toe. There's also a small area for little ones to color. I wanted matcha and was debating between the banana soft cloud matcha and strawberry matcha latte. I ended up going with the banana because I love cloud foam. The drink is priced at $7.75 and while it was delicious, the cup was really small (I'm not sure of the oz). I'm sure it takes a lot of work to make it that yummy but it was on the pricey side. My boyfriend got the cold brew, which he liked. All in all, good drinks and a cute place. read more

Trying out Soft Cafe on their soft opening, no pun intended LOL! Been hearing great reviews about their coffee and their acai, I didn't wanna miss out. To my surprise, it was pretty close to my office neighborhood so stopping by to give it a try. The setting wasn't anything like recently flourishing ones with minimalistic monochrome design or cutesy boho theme. It somehow gave me that classic more old-school vibe. It was moderately busy yet not overly loud, which was awesome. I could see a lot of guests did go for their acai bowls which came in different serving sizes and the toppings were customizable. I was kinda stuffed so only going for their Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, which wasn't bad but not impressive either. The Madagascar Vanilla Latte I opted for was satisfying, served extra hot precisely as I requested. The 16oz with almond milk substitution ended up costing $9.75 pre tax and tip; kinda pricey IMO but I guessed it's LA tag (IYKYK). One plus point, when I placed my order they did ask for preferred sweetness level. I went for default regular, but appreciated them reminding should I fancy customization. read more

Cute little coffee shop in Hawthorne. Don't let the outside fool you, the inside is gorgeous/elegant and feels like a great place to study/get some work done. I got an iced vanilla latte and a salmon croissant. The latte was perfectly sweet and creamy, while the croissant was pillowy soft and the salmon had all the flavor I was looking for. They added cream cheese, avocado, some greens, and cucumbers, which perfectly complemented/completed the croissant. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back here again and trying the ice creams they have! read more

The lemon pastry is pretty good, tastes like your normal lemon loaf. However as I went in the lady was super nice but she seemed super stressed at the same time. I got a strawberry matcha and a lavender latte. The lavender syrup and the strawberry were really good but something that ticked me off was the fact that she charged me for the 12oz cups knowing she didn't have any. She gave me the 8oz cups and only until the end that's when she said she knew she didn't have any 12 oz cups since they had just gotten delivered. Another thing was that the drinks were super rushed. I feel like the drinks would've tasted better if she would've taken the time to do them correctly and not rushed. The place itself was really nice and aesthetic. However, next time don't lie to your customers, if you don't have something I would rather be let known than be charged extra without knowing. I kind of expected better because of all the reviews, but as a first impression it wasn't very good. read more

Happily stumbled upon this place Lots of parking in the front The ambience is peaceful, clean and aesthetically pleasing. I love all the huge plants they have! I love that t some color too! Not like the usual all white grey cafes! The associate was kind and helped me pick out what to drink and toppings for my açaí bowl I got the iced matcha latte with a rose foam top! It was soo good! Good matcha flavor and the rose complimented the matcha not overpower it. I also got the açaí bowl with a mango layer! I've never had that before so unique! They also do chai pudding layer as well (I opted out my own personal preference) All in all wonderful place to come chat with friends and grab a cute drink that actually tastes good! I will definitely be back since it's so close by! read more

Quality coffee. Probably a place for coffee enthusiasts when they want something authentic. They have decent food options, too. Love to detail to the interior and design. It's pretty small and it kind of feels sterile. But it's cute. The service is good. They're attentive, and quick. It doesn't feel like a welcoming and comfy vibe, so it depends if you're staying there for long or not. read more

I had an amazing morning at Soft Cafe. It was my first time stopping in, so I didn't know much about the menu. The gentleman at the counter was very helpful and patient. He talked about their flavors of matcha and gave me some suggestions. I also ordered an açaí bowl, and he made sure that I got exactly what I wanted. The matcha and the açaí bowl were so good. I love açaí bowls, and Soft Cafe definitely has the best I've tried. It's a convenient place to sit and have a breakfast drink. They also have pastries. I will definitely come back the next time I'm in Hawthorne. read more

Good quality matcha but you do need to get double shots like two extra shots for it to be strong but once it's strong it's really smooth and you taste the notes of matcha. It just gets pricey adding double shot I wish they used more matcha when making the matcha at its baseline so I'm not having to pay so much to actually taste the good quality you know. Also love how they make their own syrups in house (rose one was really good. I LOVE anything rose lol so was excited to try bc I hate store bought rose syrups). read more

I'm so happy Soft is here! I've tried a couple of their items. Banana Matcha is my fav! It's the perfect amount of banana and the Matcha quality is good every time. In the summer I tried the guava matcha and it was also good and refreshing! Recently they have a tiramisu latte and it was also good. It's not overly sweet but just right. Everyone is always so happy to take your order, service is great! The ambiance of the place is chill and a great place to study. I invited a friend and it's such a vibe in there!

Very delicious place. Come here for coffee frequently and really enjoy the flavors they offer. The matcha here is 10/10

Beautiful and clean cafe with a pleasant wicker-wood ambiance, friendly and helpful baristas and excellent selection of breakfast/brunch treats. The iced banana matcha was delicious; the blueberry muffin had a crumbly, almost cornbread-y soft texture that was lovely. My companion got a gingerbread Biscoff cookie with his latte, a nice and much-appreciated accompaniment. Their ham/prosciutto crossiant sandwich (it's not both, it's either, FYI. In my case I chose prosciutto) was amply filled, made on a soft buttery croissant with a generous medley of greens, guac, cream cheese, cucumber and, you guessed it, prosciutto. Delicious! Definitely worth a second visit. read more

I saw their menu and saw some of the drinks. The reviews were high so i thought the place would be fire. And I'll say damn that was some good coffee. I told the barista is was my first time here and she was really helpful and welcoming. Told her I had a nut allergy so she was very understanding. I had the Belgium mocha I think it's called. Iced with extra ice cuz I like my drinks cold cold. The taste was amazing, kind of like dark chocolate but having that coffee taste. 10/10. The inside is really cozy and I love the fountain they got in the corner. Parking is no issue. U can park near the outside spots or in the neighborhood area. I parked in 130th street cuz I just wanted a guaranteed spot and I like to walk. This place is a banger. I want to try the French lavender latte next. It looks awesome. The workers look happy here so they bring a good vibe read more

This review is a little late but I wanted to say how much I loved it here. Such a wonderful study environment with high quality drinks. I went a month or so ago and the workers are very friendly and warm. They additionally gave me and my friend two free lattes since they were doing a photo shoot with the two drinks. Out of the 3 drinks I tried, I can safely say this is high quality coffee. I also loved the caprese croissant I had for lunch. I stayed the whole day and was treated with kindness the whole time :) read more
