I really like the Chagaccino with oatmilk. It was fantastic in flavor and smooth. The first drink was nothing like it. They said someone probably took mine but my receipt was attached to the first drink. Ugh! I'm so glad the offered to remake mine. Since it was my first time here I would know what my drink was supposed to taste like and I have also never ordered a Chagaccino before. I don't think my review would have been as favorable. I like the atmosphere. It is funny and cute. I hope I can come back soon but it is far from my house to make this every day. Street parking. There is also pay for parking lot in back. I don't know if they validate since I stayed on street. Otherwise it is normally $3 every 15 minutes.

Really cute spot and definitely worth checking out!…read more It's small and gets pretty crowded inside quickly. They offer a variety of drinks and refill their pastries daily. It's a great selection and some of the combinations work wonderfully. I'm not a fan of all of their drinks, but it's not bad. It's more a personal preference on how they make their drinks and it's just got a unique touch to it. This is where I say to each their own. Give it a try and see which ones you prefer. Customer service is wonderful! It's always nice to come here and talk with the employees. They're great people overall and they seem to be of similar personalities. The indoor space gets filled up very quickly. It's an open area, but there's almost always a line out the door. They can get really busy and your drinks may take a while if you come during peak hours. Thankfully, they might open up the window so an outdoor breeze comes through. This way, the place never gets humid. Plenty of outdoor seating areas if you want to spend more time here. It can be hard to get here because you have to street park, but it's worth it.

Always dependably open late. Cute and charming cafe. I've brought friends to this place for their…read morefirst time, and they've all seemed to love it. No exception to my most recent visit. Still loved it. One little negative would be that they don't offer customer use of their restroom. It's for employees only. I thought that restaurants that have seating for customers were required to provide a restroom. Maybe I was wrong?

This place has gone downhill dramatically. I used to love coming here, but apparently the…read moremanagement has changed, and unfortunately, not for the better. The prices are outrageous, and the quality is terrible. I ordered a matcha latte, and my friend ordered a Spanish latte. Both were poorly made, and we paid over $14 for two tall-sized drinks. To make matters worse, the cups were half empty and filled mostly with foam. The staff was unwelcoming, customer service was practically nonexistent, and the place itself was filthy and falling apart. They don't even have a restroom anymore, which is strange because I clearly remember they used to have one. It's honestly disappointing to see a place I once enjoyed deteriorate so badly. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't stay in business much longer. The place was practically empty, and after this experience, I can understand why. Definitely overpriced, poorly managed, and not worth a return visit.

Actually, all of their employees. Place was packed. Wanted to see and know the sizes of the cups for me to decide which one to go with and the price difference. I went with a medium size hot decaf (one shot) Vanilla Latte with Macadamia Milk. Also got a Blueberry Muffin and a plain butter Croissant. I thought that they would also have some breakfast items like egg, bacon, sausage, cheese etc..they didn't. They only had plain bagel and Cream Cheese. My Latte tasted very good, on the flip side the Croissant wasn't as warm and fresh as I wanted for it to be. I asked the ladies behind the counter to warm it up again. The muffin was very fresh and delicious. Lauren handed me the Latte and my goodies. I don't want to dock a star for the Croissant, but it could have been a lot more fresh. Place was clean, with one gender neutral restroom, inside and outside seating, and the price was right for the 3 items that I got. $14.00 in total plus my tip of $2.00. Street parking only, woman owned, beautiful art work on their walls by famous artists, merchandise for sale, and nice music from the 80's playing overhead. Last but not least, under the businesses amenities page it says, no dogs allowed. It was dogs galore inside and outside. No offense to people who have dogs, but outside is ok, not inside..

The blueberry scone was also "not too sweet" and went well with the blended drink. There is outdoor seating as well as an indoor seating area. It didn't get too loud even with the interior area being filled with patrons. Will have to try the Pistachio Latte next time I come.

I lucked out though and got a spot right in front. This coffee shop has kind of a punk retro vibe to it. Black and neon pink are the main colors found in its decor. They have some seating inside. We went with the gold digger latte (made with real honeycomb) and the 20 oz iced brown sugar latte. There was only one worker here and some orders ahead of us, so it did take a bit of time until our drinks were ready. I tried the gold digger and it was really tasty! Unfortunately I didn't love mine so much. I asked the worker about it, saying how I felt it tasted a little bitter or sour and they kindly were willing to help make sure the drink was something I enjoyed. The 20 oz has 4 shots of espresso so they had mentioned I'm likely tasting the espresso since it's a much higher ratio of espresso compared to milk than the other two size drinks. I tried it with more sweetener and it did help somewhat but I would get something else next time. I think the 16 oz size though is the better size to go with!

What drew me to this place was simply the name--"The boy and the bear." It's so cute! I had to…read morecheck it out. Honestly this is one of the most interesting cafes I've been to. You really have to respect the interior design, in how they placed the cafe in a furniture store yet were able to set up the perfect partition yet flow between the two. The vanilla and mocha syrups are made in house and honestly I'm not one to order a vanilla latte but this one was delicious! From the interior design to the drinks I recommend visiting this place. However, when reviewing cafes I also consider the "work space" factor, and this may not be a good cafe for it. No outlets, difficult parking, and limited WiFi make it a bit of a challenge to work here, though the ambiance makes it worth trying out! Additionally, the service was kind. They also got along with the pets that came in, which was fun to watch.

Got lucky with parking about only a block away and walked over. Very busy!! Love the high ceilings in here and it looks like it was connected to some kind of homeware shop? Didn't really look and was more focused on trying to figure out what to order lol!! They only have a small menu on the counter right when you order. Would be nice to have it on the wall to browse while waiting in the long line. The menu is very simple though so I ended up just getting an iced caramel latte and my bf got an iced matcha latte. I also got a toasted everything croissant which was absolutely fantastic!! Perfect jalapeno cream cheese in the middle. Delish!! The drinks took a bit but it was also very busy so I understand. Two workers but they managed and had great energy! Loved our drinks as well. Super creamy, strong, not overly sweet!! They are also pet friendly and even have a water bowl inside by the entryway. Great spot and would definitely come back if I happen to be in the area. IG: @ammysalamii

There's so many good coffee shops on Ventura Blvd. but this is my favorite coffee spot in the area…read more Their coffee is rich and full of flavor. My go-to is their iced latte with whole milk. It's the perfect start for the day! They also make a mean overnight oats! When they have it in stock, it's always an item I order with my iced latte. It comes with rolled oats, chia seeds, berries, agave, vanilla extract and almond milk. Yum! You have to try it when it's available! They sold out today, so I got their granola & yogurt. It was the perfect substitute. There's limited seating inside and out, but it's a great place to enjoy your cup of Joe or work. Staff is always welcoming and friendly and are quick to get your order to you. You also have an option to order online at https://www.tortonicaffe.com and it's super convenient. They also have delivery as an option too!

We got the banana coconut latte and the pumpkin caramel latte and both were really good! I will say their drinks are definitely more on the subtle side when it comes to the flavoring, so if you like your coffee a little sweeter or want the flavors to really come through, I'd recommend asking for a little extra. Overall though, really good coffee and a great little spot! Parking is probably the only annoying part since it's mostly street parking and can be tough to find, so you may have to park around the block. Still definitely worth checking out!
