I think this place used to be Old Torrance Coffee & Tea since that’s what I expected to find here. Anyway, it has a nice ambiance. Employees were very friendly! There’s ample seating, lots of outdoor seating. I went on a Saturday morning and it was not that busy, I was surprised!I bought an iced latte and it was great. I forgot to ask for less syrup so it was pretty sweet but that was my fault.One point for improvement would be to put some sign or something “Cozzi Cafe”-related outside.Overall a nice place that I’d go to again if I’m in the Old Torrance / DT Torrance area.
Really friendly barista and cute spot! I used to come here a lot when it was under different ownership. I think the baristas are probably still getting the hang of it because I ordered a cortado which is espresso and about 4 oz of steamed milk but when I opened the cup it was just espresso which was a bummer because it was $5. There might have been a splash of milk but it wasn’t steamed. I would’ve gone back but I was meeting up with a friend. Hopefully they build up their skills and maybe I’ll give it another try!
Cozzi Cafe stood out at first for several reasons: they have great outdoor seating, their coffee is good, and their baristas are friendly. But there is something very wrong about the way they are operating regarding COVID.There is a sign on the door that asks people to wear their masks. However, the owner and staff often do not wear their masks, and the cafe has no windows or ventilation. The owner tried to pull off her mask once when speaking with me and I also saw her speak with clients in the store with her mask off, while I was sitting outside. One of the staff persons sometimes does not wear her mask in the store, and puts them on only as someone is approaching. While that reduces the spread to some degree, it does nothing to prevent potential indoor buildup.I have also seen them let people in without proper or any masking (Im not talking about when people sit down to eat or drink, Im talking about masking full stop). And for some clients, eating and drinking means hours of sitting in a closed environment, which makes it way harder for others who are trying to abide by that request to enter or enjoy the store. I think they are nice people but they need to mean what they say, otherwise how can you trust that your health is important to them?(They also have some clients who smoke in the outdoor area, so you should come here if you appreciate secondhand smoke. Maybe its permitted but it wasnt enjoyable for me.)They might as well say, do whatever the heck you want. At least thats more honest. I would consider coming back if they improve this, but after running into this twice, Im taking my business elsewhere.
This place is awesome. Theres a little patio to sit in. Theyre dog-friendly. The few times Ive gone they listen to what I want cause I never know the name. I am a bad describe too! But they get it and are so kind.
Cozzi Cafe is great! The owner and staff are very hospitable and great at what they do. Drinks and food are great, very cozy and welcoming environment. Baristas are always friendly.
I read Yuris review and was intrigued by the zen feel that she mentioned. I agree! Old Torrance Coffee and Tea is a small, calm shop where we relaxed and discussed our plans for a vigorous day full of adventure! I got the acai smoothie for its antioxidants. It was filling, cool, and refreshing at the same time! That was a yummy breakfast for me!
Every single time I come in, I am treated with respect from the staff. I would not miss a cup of coffee and a walk through Old Torrance on any given day of the week.
I had a delicious coffee and a great sandwich as well. I think Ill make thia a regular morning spot!
When I lived in Torrance I used to go there more often than I do now that I dont live there. I was in the area today for breakfast and while I was waiting to meet my daughter I walked over to this fine store and made a couple of purchases. Theyre iced chai tea latte is the bomb! Great job, Jennifer!!
The best ☕ this side of the 405! My favorite,hands down!
Small town feel shop with arguably the best coffee in town. The folks running this place are down to earth and its always a pleasure coming here.
This place is very cool to relax
So I called during lunch which I had few minutes left to get back to work coming from the bank and hoping they had food, which usually the food suck at coffee shops, I got no choice so I decided to give it a try knowing I was hate it, but the way I was treated over the phone when I placed my order made me feel so welcome and for some reason very at home then I added an iced coffee. So when I picked up my order felt so happy with the awesome vibe and how professional they are.My surprise was the tuna sandwich was so big and healthy freshly made with a side of fancy fruit,, so so happy and grateful I enjoyed every piece of it .Im definitely coming back again when Im the area.thank you !
I’ve been coming here for a long time. It’s a spot where locals hang out. Jenny is super cool. Her daughter Kennedy loves Gavin Newsom!
One of my favorite places in old Torrance... Keep up the good work.. Jenny ♥️
Chill place to hang, feels like home, relaxed, artfully decorated, nice couches and tables, and good drinks. Lots of outdoor seating as well. Has restrooms - for customers only.Baristas are quirky and casual in the best ways. Has wifi and multiple, accessible plug outlets -yay!Tons of great antique shops are nearby including an incredible WWII antique store right across the street.
**GREAT BREAKFAST SPOT IN OLD TORRANCE**Support the local businesses! Located in Old Torrance, this family-owned café serves a variety of specialty coffee drinks, teas, smoothies, pastries, desserts, and other food items. We enjoyed a tasty breakfast on their patio -- quaint, friendly, and easy-going. All the good vibes.PARKING========Plenty nearby, on the street or the public lot.OUTDOOR DINING================Several provided patio tables and chairs, completely sanitized and COVID-friendly.Be sure to order inside first before claiming a spot.FOOD=====ACAI BERRY SMOOTHIE - $6.75Super fresh and delicious. Didnt taste any added sugar (thank you). Generous portion and I felt much healthier.RATING: 5/5BAGEL W/ CREAM CHEESE - $3What a deal. The bagels texture was chewy and toasty; the onion flavor was divine. Returning for this one.RATING: 5/5SERVICE=======Quick, efficient, and friendly. All the likes.They also accommodated us, 15 minutes after closing (sorry, thank you).Wonderful staff.OVERALL========Definitely liked the vibe here. Nice café and Im all for it.HIGHLY RECOMMEND if youre in town for breakfast. Will order coffee (duh) next time.
This is the only coffee shop in old town torrance would able to get a blended ice coffee. Not Torrance bakery, nor clutch and coffee. The trophy goes to Old Torrance Coffee and Tea.The coffee shop is not huge but with out door patio seating and the decor inside is so cozy with an edge. It’s that huge brick wall totally got your full attention. Owned by this young lady Jenni she is very sweet and brilliant. So if anyone craving for ice blended coffee drinks, you do not need to go to Starbucks anymore!
Great locally owned small biz. Coffee is legit 3 wave. Offers pour overs, cold brew and steamed milk drinks. Jenny is a great owner
Service at Old Torrance Coffee and Tea is excellent. Very welcoming and patient workers. I love this place!
Just another coffee adventure for me. And was glad I picked this super cute coffee shop. The vibes were good inside and out. They have seating indoor and outdoor which is great!The sweet Barrista made me a delicious sugar free Vanilla latte with soy milk.If youre around and looking for a good cup of coffee, this is your spot!
Thank you Jenny... great coffee and pastries...
Beautiful old fashioned Cafe with small eats, fantastic espresso, and the best smoothies Ive found so far!
Awesome coffee and a beautiful space!
I had their tea here with my friend and we liked it. It was so good. So relaxing with cool ambiance. Good people around. We are greeted with friendly staff as well. Really a good place.
Very local feel. The monthly antique fair is a must see plus its free! Some very good restaurants in the area as well such as the local place, la capilla and Foster freeze
What a great coffee shop I discovered in the city. Great taste of coffee bean and it was so good and perfect match with cookies and their almond croissants was the best. It was a great place to visit again and to relax as well.
Got here right when they opened. Had a soy latte and it was good, very nice favor and a good start to the morning . I will be back.
My fav coffee place in the south bay, this is a great place to relax and enjoy a coffee. Staff are all super helpful and welcoming. Really glad i found this place! And would give 6 stars if i could.
This is a cozy little shop. The staff were very friendly! I ordered a pour over of their Ethiopia roast and it was great. Its definitely has a local shop feel. The menu board was done by hand with chalk, which I thought was a nice touch. I would go so far to say that their pour overs can hold their own against the likes of Intelligentsia and Blue bottle.
Had tried their tea. It was relaxing and good. Place was homey and the staffs were friendly. Organized and well-maintained. Looking forward to visit again and try the coffee.
Sounds like a cool place also I have a YT
Friendly service and quality drinks, Old Torrance Coffee & Tea is a perfect place to sit and sip for a while. Customers make good company both inside and out, and the regulars are an entertaining bunch. My only complaint is the limited parking of Old Torrance itself, but that is no fault of the coffee shop.
Very friendly staff. Quick service. Perfect little coffee shop.
Great old-town feel and location. Absolutely incredible Reuben sandwich, which I would not have suspected. Love the outdoor seating and hip staff.
Hands down best iced chai tea latte in the area. My husband jokes that this shop would take our entire savings. They have good pastries too!
Great coffee and even better service. Very small inside which wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt so popular. Good seating outside as well with many places to window shop like the WW2 store.
The coffee was good. My tuna was dry to my liking but very nice employees polite and friendly. I will be back with more friends.
Great little coffee house with terrific treats ! I tried a pumpkin late which was a bit too much latte.I like my coffee more coffee flavored than milk.Although everything I ordered was great so a great experience and have been back twice since.
Needed to kill time and work from my laptop. Was hoping for a good matcha latte and a cozy corner with free wifi and clean bathrooms. This place did not disappoint! Small with a large patio, lots of cozy places to sit, and off the beaten path. Cheers to mom n pop coffee shops!
Awesome. My new fave coffee place with great service, free wifi, and of course, awesome coffee. Vibe is relaxed and welcoming. Drinks are excellent. Cold brew is divine. Dont come here so I can keep the place to myself! ;) No, seriously, come here. It rules.
Great coffee and their food tastes great. Friendly staff and very clean. Will definitely grab a snack next time.
Love this spot. Great place to grab some tea and chat with a friend, or read a book with your good self. You have to check out the restroom too, its kind of amazing.
GREAT place I love the food and beverage. And Downtown Torrance is the best, We used to live in Downtown Torrance. And the Houses are the best I would love to live in Downtown Torrance in a heartbeat !!!
Love places like this, very artistic, cozy, warm and welcoming.there is a restroom and decent patio. All sorts of coffee drinks and deserts are served there. Couple sofas and plenty tables to work or study at.
Best Coffee Spot in the whole area! Been coming here for years and have never been disappointed by the service, food or coffee. Lovely spot!
This is a great little coffee shop in a quiet and cozy part of old Torrance. Come here to study, people watch, enjoy the weather, and most importantly enjoy the coffee and tea!
This is a nice place to enjoy coffee or other items in downtown Torrance. They also have live entertainment when the weather is good.
Its raining all over Southern California so I figured Id go for a ride. Lucky for me I can now add to the hundreds of reviews for this charming coffee house in Old Town Torrance! The Old Torrance Coffee & Tea will not disappoint when you want to getaway but still remain close to home. Welcomed by a heavy wooden screen door & a beat up pock marked concrete floor I could hardly wait to sit down to watch the rain dancing down from the sky. The huge picture window here made it worth my while! Of course they have the standard old scratched up leather chair and couch plus an upholstered chair thats been sat in so often that the springs have sprung. Trust me though when I tell ya that you wont mind sinking in to it to enjoy your cup of comfort (coffee drinks, tea, chocolate...).
Cute coffee shop adjacent to Plum Market. They have a lot of seating with good sized tables (one of my gripes with Starbucks). They do not have skim milk or sugar free syrups, but maybe that means they are more authentic?I got a chocolate ganache latte. It was lovely. The finish on the top with the foam was a nice touch.
Visited from Chicago and found this quaint little cafe online within walking distance from hotel. Super moist pastries that were DELICIOUS!! Awesome selection of specialty coffees. Definitely coming back!
My favorite little cafe in all of torrance! Amazing drinks and amazing vibes,everyone is super nice and its definitely a ace where everybody knows your name. I love Jenny and if you stop by definitely ask her to make you a London fog! ♡♡♡
Nice people, comfy places to sit and chat, great coffee and WiFi, cool outdoor patio. Everything you want in a nice coffee shop. Super!
The counter person seemed in a rush and didnt give any suggestions we felt not welcomed. I tip just to be nice...
After grabbing a breakfast burrito from Astro Burger, head over here for some coffee! Its a very short walk across the street. I know it says Food in the name, but its hard to pass up that burrito from Astros yo. So no, I havent had any of the food here. But that coffee? Yes! Get the FLAT WHITE.
It was flavorful.
The sandwiches and good! My favorite is the chicken salad sandwich with an iced chai tea to go. They are so nice and welcoming to everyone
Very nice little spot to go meet with close friends.
Love this place! Great gathering spot and fantastic coffee and food! Jenny is wonderful!
Great not so well know place! If you havent been you need to. No chain coffee!
Dope spot! Got a tasty cold brew coffee with a splash of almond milk and excellent customer service while getting some work done on the comfy couches. No-hassle wifi handling. Ill be back!
Nice cozy place... huge variety of choices... a bit too many for my simple coffee taste.kind of a coffee boutique.
Great staff, good prices. Food and drinks are nice.
Frendly place in a cool neighborhood to get coffee and espresso drinks. The downtown area is quiet and frendly.
Amazed at the outstanding service here! Barista was very courteous and friendly! My drinks all came out delicious and the environment was very pleasant.
Cute lil establishment. Never been and not from the area. Came for reviews. A bit pricey. Cafe+sandwich+piece of cake=$20! Cafe OK, lemon souffle yum!!, sandwich good.
Nice comfortable couches to study on. They frequently have live music playing outside the coffee shop. Parking is pretty limited.
Thurs open mic 6-9 PM is the best community positive energy event
Coffee did not have much flavor. Setting is relaxing & homey. Pastries looked pretty good.
Awesome little coffee shop with amazing pastries and great coffee! Lovely interior with a couch and comfy chairs, as well as a couple of two person tables to sit at.Larger groups can sit outside at their larger tables with a street view!Pro tip - if sitting inside at the couch and plush chairs, dont use your computer and WiFi. That area is reserved for people who want to sit back and gave an IRL conversation!
Love this place. Good coffee and very nice people!
This is a friendly and comfortable coffee shop. Inside and outside seating, helpful staff, and good prices.
Very nice coffee shop in Old Town. Comfortable seating and very nice drinks. They make a pretty good sandwich too.
Good coffee and relaxed atmosphere. Seating inside is limited but they have a decent number of tables outside.
Cozy local spot with creative drink recipes. Good place to work or chill.
Okay this is one great coffee shop. The atmosphere is excellent and food or drink out of this world.
Small place, but nice vibe. Lots of people hanging out.
Fun place, really nice people, and yummy coffee.
This local coffee roster has THE most excellent coffee in the town. Their teas are superb as well.
Love the coffee drinks. Less than convenient hours
I took off a star since im not fond of smoke and they allow cigarettes on their outdoor patio area. The espresso is great and the sweets are tasty.
Great selection of coffees and teas. I like the raspberry mocha with a toasted bagel and cream cheese!
Quaint little place that will seat about 15 people with great coffee and drinks for the early morning crowd. Light snacks are available
Easy to maneuver the site. fast, easy check out. Thanks for the good service.
Their lattes are really gross. tastes like someone dipped a mango in the drink, and I feel like the milk was also bad
Real homey relaxing atmosphere they also have honey which I use it n my coffee
Mom-and-pop coffee shop great location cozy very friendly Associates.
Solid cozy coffee spot. great lattes with an eclectic cozy vibe
L have ordered from coffee for less for quite some time now and the orders are always accurate and more than timely.
My go to for my daily morning cold brew and blueberry lemon muffins..the staff is also amazing and extemmly attentitive to detail.!! Love this place!!
Very nice and cozy place, good coffee with great conversation!
Best coffee in Torrance, no place like it! Staff are super friendly too, my bf loves their smoothies, especially the banana Dana with chocolate and protein.
Always great coffee customer service
