    Honey cake and Madagascar vanilla latte
    Ethan P.

    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!

    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.

    Large Acai bowl

    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.

    Amazing Açaí Bowls

    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

    Mocha latte
    Leani R.

    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.

    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!

    Iced vanilla latte absolutely delicious
    Brenda B.

    Great service! coffee taste amazing! Fresh espresso been my guilty pleasure for the past few weeks must try. Daughter has also tried. The Matcha and son recently tried the lychee gelato, which he loved!

    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!

    Strawberry Matcha Latte
    Diana C.

    Such a cute space with lots of seating and plenty of street parking. I stopped by for takeout but the space is so cozy for catching up with friends, I will definitely be back to spend some time in there. All the Matcha drinks I have tried here have been great and the service is always pleasant. I need to try their pastries and coffee next time.

    Rose cream matcha
    Jade L.

    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

    Madagascar vanilla latte & cold brew
    Angie J.

    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!

    Madagascar Vanilla Latte
    Debbie F.

    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!

    French Lavender Latte ($7) & Cherry Croissant ($4)  07-16-2025
    Alana M.

    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

Laura and Carol were especially warm, cheerful, and attentive, which made the experience even better. We ordered the chilaquiles and the breakfast sandwich, and both were fantastic. The chilaquiles were fresh and full of flavor with crispy tortilla chips topped with a rich green sauce, egg, cheese, and red onion. The breakfast sandwich was a generous portion on a warm brioche bun with thick bacon, egg, chipotle sauce, and fresh greens. We also tried the churros, which were clearly made fresh to order. They were not overly sweet, perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft inside. The horchata coffee was absolutely divine and something I would come back just for. Everything here is made fresh, and you can taste the difference. The outdoor seating area with music created such a joyful, relaxing atmosphere and made the whole morning feel special. I can't recommend this place enough!

There are only a couple spots in the lot. It is very small, so you'll likely have to park on the street. The shop is nicely decorated, and very vibrant and colorful. They have a few swinging egg chairs you can sit in, which is a nice touch. The drinks & desserts are really good. I highly recommend coming here.
