    Service was friendly and fast. I got the Salted Brown Butter Latte and it was alright. Inside is small but cozy. I've driven by a few times and have seen this place so I already knew roughly where it was located. Parking was easy to find.

    Quaint Cafe is such a cute cafe! I love their vibe. I ordered the salted brown butter latte & unfortunately did not care for it. It was really milky and the flavors were too contrasting for me. It tasted a little nutty (like pistachio). I couldn't really enjoy my drink but understand they are a new business and know that they will fine tune things as they stay open!

    Viet & Mocha

    First visit to Quaint Little Cafe, and it definitely won't be my last! We ordered the Vietnamese coffee and the mocha. The Vietnamese coffee was rich, smooth, and easily the standout. The mocha was also delicious with a great chocolate flavor and wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciated. The service was warm and friendly, and there was plenty of easy street parking. There are also two tables outside if you'd like to enjoy your coffee. My only small disappointment was that there weren't any desserts available. I love pairing my coffee with a pastry, so I'd love to see some added in the future. Overall, a great first experience, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the banana latte!

    A new QUAINT sized coffee shop in old Torrance... I love it!! Super duper cute and tiny ! It has public street parking, no private lot or anything. No restroom either just strictly a coffee shop. They have a very small bakery case at the cashiers, I believe it had banana bread, it was hard to tell with no labels and I didn't want a pastry so I didn't ask but it def looked like banana bread to me. They also have a case with spindrifts and pellegrino available. The menu is quite limited which I do not think is a bad thing as it allows them to perfect their drinks. I ended up ordering the Salted Brown Butter Latte that came out to $7.72. I waited about 10-15mins after 3 other customers to get my coffee. Not that bad. Service was very standard nothing special. Now let me tell you !!!!! If you ever had brown butter cookies or even smelled brown butter before, they NAILED it. This coffee tasted exactly like brown butter. Absolutely delicious. But now leeeet me tell you, that lid with all the cold foam? I went home for privacy.... That lid ended up looking new when I was done with it. BUT IT DOESNT STOP THERE. My back is so huge I grabbed a mini spatula to scrape all the last of the foam from the cup. Honestly. It looked like it was never used at the end. I left it spotless. The cold foam was salty. I looooooooooove salty stuff so it was in my alley. I was having a VERY intimate moment with this cold foam. I would def come back. 12/10. Delicious signature coffee. I haven't seen a salted brown butter latte before, only the generic brown sugar one and I prefer this one WAAAAAAAAAY more. They have a table outside otherwise not much space to enjoy. You can hot gurl walk with your cafecito!

    Pretty delicious salted brown butter latte! Similar to the viral nyc brown butter one it's a smooth coffee and the cream on top adds a good sweetness. The cafe is small but cute with a few tables but more than a grab and go place.

    Located off Torrance Bl. in Torrance. Street parking and it's not that easy since where this place is located you may have to park a block or two away. The place is small a few sitting spots and a couple tables out side as well. The staff awesome the two guys working friendly and very courteous, I got the banana cream matcha it was good they definitely take time to make it right. The matcha was on point as well. Only downside for me is they close early at 2pm during the week and at 1pm Sat & Sun. If you are an early bird they open early at 7 during the week and 8:30am on Sat and Sun. It may be tough for the 8-5pm or 9-5pm workers out there. If you do work in Torrance near by you get a 20% discount only weekdays. Overall a good experience here and the matcha was good.

    Cute little café that just opened not too long ago. I went right at 7am when it opens, and I was the first customer. Barista was still setting up shop, but was super nice and took my order for a matcha cream top. The drink was beautifully-crafted, creamy and sweet, although I personally would've liked the matcha a bit stronger. Overall, a nice little pick-me-up to start the day!

    This place was amazing and the food was also crazy good. would definitely come here again the ambiance was nice and the service was too.

    *quick update! They are one of the few coffee shops who won't charge extra for swapping out milk types!! I think they used to charge during the soft opening so I super appreciate that adjustment!

    Salted brown butter latte, delicious.

    What a brand new gem added to Torrance! Finally got to check it out today. The staff was super sweet! I was torn between ordering the salted brown butter latte or their banana cream latte. Ended up going with the salted brown butter latte and it was the perfect pick me up. Loved the blend of the drink, not too sweet, but just the perfect balance of what I was looking for. Also purchased their chocolate banana bread which was also delicious! The Quaint Cafe lives up to its name. An adorable small coffee shop for the perfect caffeine pick me up. Highly recommend. Will definitely be coming back to try their banana cream latte next!

    The Quaint Cafe is small, but it's seriously charming. The workers were genuinely kind and patient. You can tell they care about what they're making, because they took their time to craft the perfect latte. I ordered the salted brown butter latte, and wow--it was really good. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, with that "special treat" vibe in every sip. I'm already excited to come back and try the banana latte! Overall, this cute little coffee shop is definitely worth supporting, especially if you love great drinks and friendly service.

    I was working in the area and found this place while searching on Google Maps. The name caught my attention right away, so I figured I'd give it a try. The shop itself is pretty small ... you order inside, and there's tables outside if you want to sit, but that's about it. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee, and it definitely hit the spot. Exactly what I needed to get through a long workday. Sometimes the best coffee shops are the simple ones, and this is one of them. If I'm back in the area again, I'll definitely be stopping by.

    I highly recommend checking out this place! the quaint cafe is very cozy, customer service is excellent and the workers were very nice. We got a matcha latte with cream top and a salted brown butter latte, so so good. We will definitely come back again :)

The coffee was pretty solid, the baristas were all friendly as well. My only issue with this cafe is that the line wrapped around the store, but the only menu faced the door away from the line or right up at the counter. When waiting that long, I feel it helps to actually see the menu before I order and wish it was more accessible. The one menu on the wall was not the full menu just the featured drinks which was somewhat helpful.

Everything is flight-themed, which makes the space feel so cute and unique. The menu is also pretty big, and there were so many drinks that caught our attention. We ended up ordering the Jasmine Matcha Cloud and Earl Grey Matcha. The Jasmine Matcha Cloud was amazing and easily my favorite of the two. I'd probably get it a little less sweet next time if possible, but even at the regular sweetness, I really enjoyed it. The Earl Grey Matcha wasn't bad either, but it wasn't particularly memorable for me and was also a little sweeter than I prefer. Overall, I really enjoyed First Flight Coffee. I'd definitely come back for the Jasmine Matcha Cloud and to work my way through some of the other drinks on their menu!

You can tell they put a lot of effort into their food and drinks. As for the ambiance, it's perfect for those who want to hang out and catch up with friends/family or to study. When I visited, there were easily 5 other groups and individuals studying here. I have a big soft spot for banana flavored items. A BIG SOFT SPOT. Banana Cream Pie Latte - this one carries the biggest punch for banana lovers. Banana cream the entire way from start to finish. Not too sweet. Awesome foam top too. I highly recommend drinking these without the straw. Foam top drinks are best appreciated when you get a nice 50:50 ratio of the foam and drink. Banana Matcha Latte - the name speaks for itself. It's a nice mixture of both. So if you're looking to feel a little healthier with the matcha element, then go for it. This was probably the prettiest drink of the 3 that we had. Americano - delicious and got the job done here. I naturally enjoy Ethiopian and Colombian beans. I brew them often at home. I was definitely wide awake after these drinks lol Strawberrynana Waffle - If you LOVE belgian-style waffles like me, then you'll find yourself ordering this again and again. It wasn't too sweet but sweet enough to easily go through 2 or 3 of these plates if you're crazy enough. Banana Walnut Honey Bread - the best for last! I really loved eating brick toast growing up. There were so many stores back in the day that sold them, and now I can't find them as easily. In fact, Caffe Bene is the only place in the South Bay that I know that sells them. This one brought me back to the past and put a gigantic smile on my face. Delicious, perfectly sweet, balanced, and finished wanting more. Highly recommend!

La Cha x The Bowl currently has a second location in Hawthorne in addition to this flagship location in Torrance. The shop is known for its viral cracking chocolate shell boba cup. [Parking]: Easy parking within the plaza. [Atmosphere]: A very casual setup for this tea shop and customers can place their orders via one of two kiosks. One thing to note is that the tea shop plays fairly loud background music so it is hard to have a conversation unless you are sitting right next to the person you are talking to. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Strawberry Matcha W/ Milk Foam, Strawberry Taro Milk Tea, and Caramel Cheese Latte. Other featured items include Popcorn Chicken, Biscoff Shake, and Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. *** Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea (100% sweetness - $6.20): The drink was slightly too sweet for me, but the overall flavor was there. Chicken Teriyaki Bowl (Charbroiled Chicken Teriyaki + comes with white rice, chopped lettuce, macaroni salad and grilled fresh pineapple - $13.90): The bowl was surprisingly better than I had expected. The bowl had a slice of grilled pineapple and decent macaroni salad. I was actually able to split the bowl into two smaller meal portions. It was certainly a lot better than the teriyaki bowl from Flame Broiler. *** A solid 3.5-star for the drink and rice bowl. I personally slightly prefer their rice bowl over their drinks and overall this is a nice neighborhood tea shop to grab a quick meal or get a-okay drinks as there aren't too many tea shop options in this part of Torrance (closer to the city of Carson).
