    The service is incredible here. I came in a 9:40 and there were 3 people working. They had a really great system in place and were very organized behind the counter while having a pretty full house in the cafe. My drink came out in less than 5 minutes and the color of my ice vanilla latte is perfect! The flavor is perfectly balanced. It isn't overly sweet or bitter (from the coffee flavor), it's sooo good. I can't wait to come back and maybe try some pastries!

    After driving by a couple hundred times decided to stop in and try it finally. Staff was very friendly, parking can be a bit tricky with no dedicated lot and only meter parking. The coffee is really good. Went with a vanilla latte and it's one of the better ones I've had. Also tried the cinnamon pinwheel pastry. Was really good warmed up and very buttery. Not too loud inside, fair amount of people working remotely as usual, and to be expected in any Los Angeles coffee shop.

    Nice little hidden Jen right next to 405. Loved the spot- they have a lot of drinks that are handcrafted pretty fast. Ambience is nice and playful but also calm, so you can come and work in a quiet environment! Service is nice and friendly and pretty efficient too.

    Regular here! I love this coffee shop. The service is amazing, friendly and very neighborhood/ around the way feels. It's cozy and vibrant but they are efficient. They know my order and it adds the perfect touch. I'm better with faces but I am working on names! Shout out to Elle, Joey, Nick and Juan. The 4 of them are the bees knees. Perfect location, customer service and overall vibe. Please visit!

    My experience in Tortoni, was pleasant I got a mushroom coffee Americano and tried the spinach Parmesan empanada. The empanada came with a tasteful green Chimichurri sauce that complimented the empanada really well! I would definitely comeback to try a different empanada and comeback for the mushroom coffee.

    The manager who took our order was super sweet & helped me choose a drink i would enjoy. She was patient, helpful, & a great manager! The staff all looked like they worked together seamlessly & the vibes of the shop were perfect. The music matched the vibes & the coffee tasted absolutely amazing.

    First time at Tortoni Caffe! It's a cute cafe with friendly staff. I parked in the private lot next door without any issues. I tried the Golden Maple latte bc I stupidly thought that it was a latte sweetened with maple syrup only. Luckily the ginger and turmeric flavors were subtle. It was a nice and cozy drink. I'd like to try other specialty lattes next time!

    Horchata Latte!
    Enha R.

    The empanadas were delicious! We ordered 2 Breakfast, 1 Corn, and 1 Spinach. I enjoyed the breakfast one the most, it was cheesy and meaty and a great way to start the morning. Spinach and corn were also delicious, use the chimichurri that comes with them! I ordered the Horchata latte and it was sweet and flavorful; cinnamon was pronounced. Service was 10/10! Everyone was kind and we loved Carina! She spoke to our group and made us feel welcome. I truly enjoyed listening to her stories. We sat outside and had plenty of seating for our group of 5. Parking was iffy but street parking is available if you don't mind walking.

    Decided to drop by this place since it was near our destination this morning! Parked nearby along Ventura at a metered parking. Pretty busy when we dropped by around 11am but they brought out the drinks QUICK!! Super satisfied with how short of a wait it was for our drinks. I went for an iced nutty latte 16oz and my bf got a hot green tea. Super small coffee shop and since it was so packed, we were awkwardly standing in the middle in front of the door basically. The seats and tables were all full and there wasn't really a good spot to wait. Thankfully the drinks came out really quick so we were in and out of there in no time. Staff are all extremely friendly! Will definitely be coming back. IG: @ammysalamii

    Can't wait to return to Tortoni Caffe. Ordered the Spanish latte. Was impressed with the service. Courteous and helpful. Some really nice looking quiche and bakery items. Cute decor. Coffee was good.

    Empanadas and quiches (Feb 2025)
    Luke L.

    Recently I visited Sherman Oaks for a special errand. Since I don't visit this neighborhood as often as I used to, I didn't want to waste the trip. After a quick Yelp search, I decided to stop by this café for a cup of coffee. Inside the café, customers will notice Argentinian and U.S. flags and glass display near the cashier counter with food items like empanadas and quiches. [Parking]: Local street metered parking on Noble Ave - $1 per hour with a 2-hour maximum limit. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlights include the Iced Horchata Latte, Nutty Latte, and Chagaccino. Other drink options include drip coffee, caffé au lait, cold brew coffee, pour-over, seasonal lattes, and other 'surprise' drinks. *** Iced Horchata Latte (small - $7): Oh wow, the drink was really good! In fact it was probably the best horchata latte I have ever had. Most horchata lattes I have tried before were overly sweet, but this one had the right amount of sweetness. The horchata flavor did not overpower the coffee aroma too. *** A bit on the pricey side, but worth every penny. Just an absolutely fantastic horchata latte!

    Always a welcome stop. Perfect location, great service, friendly and cordial no nonsense staff, pet friendly. They will serve you in ceramic whenever you ask and the the coffee is subtle, smooth and prepared to your exact specifications. Inside is cool, outside is better. Pause for a moment, meet a friend, bring your dog. (Leave your laptop in the car and laugh at all the people in traffic on Ventura Blvd) This place is my go to coffee spot when I need a pause for reflection. It's not that important, visit Tortoni Caffé and relax.

    Matcha Latte and Dulce de Leche latte
    Michelle B.

    I came here on a Monday morning after a workout in the area. I did not see plaza parking available for Tortoni, so I parked on the side street just before the cafe. You can also find free street parking on the residential streets nearby the cafe. There is indoor and outdoor seating available and the cafe was busy on this Monday morning! so it is definitely popular. However, the seating is fairly limited and I don't think it would be good place to sit and get work done. They offer both sweet pastries on display as well as savory empanadas! Tortoni also serves Verve Coffee and sells their own merchandise if you enjoy collecting local coffee shop merch. Matcha Latte w/ simple sugar sweetener and almond milk 1/5, I did not like this. I asked about how sweet this was when I ordered and they did inform me it does not come sweetened, so I added sweetener. My issue is the matcha powder was not appropriately blended within the hot water / milk, so I ended up drinking solid chunks of matcha powder which was,, unpleasant. Dulce De Leche Latte 4/5, this was STRONG omg, the double espresso shot really hit me and woke me right up! I loved the taste of this because it did taste significantly of Ducle de Leche, however, it might be a bit too sweet for some.

    Delicious

When selling premium coffee at premium prices, I'd expect at least a working knowledge of the major high-end coffee makers your customers are using. When I brought the issue up, I asked if they could at least offer a complimentary coffee for the inconvenience, but they refused to do anything. Disappointing experience overall. Expensive coffee without the expertise or customer service to match.

    "Sunday, Monday, HAPPY DAYS!…read more Tuesday, Wednesday, HAPPY DAYS! Thursday, Friday, HAPPY DAYS! Saturday, what a day..." Don't forget about Sunday! Open 7 days a week in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles on Ventura Blvd between Cedros Avenue and Van Nuys Blvd. You can enjoy a plethora of options including gluten free and vegan ones from their milkshakes to their coffees, teas to ice creams, churros (the star of the show, of course) and everything in-between! For ice cream their Vegan Salted Caramel & Chocolate Ice Cream is incredible, my fav and first choice - but don't sleep on their Vegan Coconut Vanilla Ice Cream or Vegan Coconut Chocolate Ice Cream. Classic dairy flavors include: Cookies & Cream Ice Cream, Dulce De Leche Ice Cream and Vanilla. Ordering inside is easy peasy at the counter, but H.D.C. does use third party apps like UberEats/Postmates for pickup/carryout as well as delivery. I pop in now and then and most recently after dinner I had a nice post meal treat of churros to go. Water at their water and utensils area with beverage enhancers: sugar, stirrers, etc. Churro Ice Cream sandwich is incredible - best if you can enjoy it right away though I have order deliver twice this year just from craving that Vegan Salted Caramel between two of their delicious churro "bun" - best invention ever! Non dairy milkshakes all day! Though I rarely indulge in those extra decadent and rich dessert beverages - highly recommend you do. Seating inside is cool cozy but warm and chic. You can enjoy things outside as well with some seating. Prices are thoughtful, as is Happy Days Cafe. Open to all from PM to AM, see days for specific hours and times. Come out to Happy Days and have yourselves a hopping good time!!

This was not about the $25 spent, but about the lack of professionalism and customer care. A simple acknowledgment or willingness to address the issue would have made a difference. Unfortunately, the dismissive attitude ensured we will not be returning.

The main thing that stands out here is their 1987 coffee roaster which is the center piece of the cafe. They roast various single origin beans on a daily basis, so you know you can purchase some fresh coffee beans here. If you need your beans grounded, they do grind it for you depending on your brewing method. They have beans of light roast, medium roast and dark roast and sell by various weights for a very reasonable price. They also sell various tea leaves, baked goods (croissant, muffin, scones, bagel, Danish, coffee cake, Dessert Therapy cookies, and merchs. They also have a seasonable menu that changes. When I went, it was the Sakura season menu. Staff were all friendly and were very willing to answer any questions regarding the menu. Please note, the base coffee blend for each day varies and rotates on a daily basis For my visit, I tried ... 1. Buttered Coffee (4.5/5) The base coffee for the day was the Peru single origin, which was well-balanced; slightly sweet with a hint of tartness and nuttiness. They then add a chunk of butter into the coffee, which helps cut some of the acidity, but also is supposed to enhance the caffeine effect and give you additional energy from the fat. It does leave a layer of fat/oiliness so if you are not a fan of that, then this may not be for you. The butter did give it a subtle buttery flavor, which I personally liked. 2. Matcha with Sakura Cold Foam (4/5) The matcha was blended smoothly and was not grassy at all. The Sakura cold foam didn't really taste like Sakura (been to Japan, so know what real Sakura flavor should taste like), but instead, just tasted floral. 3. Columbia Supremo Whole Beans Full body and aromatic. Good for those who like to drink black coffee 4. Guatemala Huehuetenango Whole Beans: Crisp, acidic and a hint of nuttiness Glad I found this local roaster where I'll definitely be coming back to get some more fresh beans.
