A Guide to Torrance Coffee Shops
Cozzi Cafe
Near and dear to the heart of town, Cozzi Cafe is one of the most aesthetically gifted coffee shops in Torrance, given its lush green tones, exposed brick and art-dappled walls, vibrant plants, chic furnishings, occasional live music performances, umbrella-shaded patio, and tantalizing aroma of gourmet java. The attention to detail that has gone into designing this quaint abode with a delightful balance of charm and utility makes it an easy go-to for long overdue coffee dates and solo study sessions.
Offset Coffee
Down at the end of an unassuming strip mall on Crenshaw Blvd, Offset has an adorable ambiance accentuated by warm earthy tones set against minimalistic white walls, well-nourished plants, amenities for a productive day, and an outdoor terrace. The picturesque decor serves as an accomplice to thoughtfully crafted, rewardingly delicious seasonal drinks like the Raspberry White Mocha, teas, and gram-worthy breakfast fare including avocado toasts and baked goods.
Caffe Bene
Conveniently situated along Sepulveda Blvd, Caffe Bene has a warmly familiar atmosphere with an abundance of cute seating arrangements, touches of greenery, great big windows that let the sunshine pour on through, later hours, and remote work accommodations perfect for students in need of a productive study session. The staff maintains a tempting selection of coffee beverages, toasted sandwiches, photogenic desserts, and refreshing fruit smoothies.
Clutch and Coffee
Snuggled amongst the storefronts lining El Prado Ave, Clutch and Coffee is an off-road racing inspired cafe providing patrons a relaxed yet refined culinary experience underscored by fantastic brunch fare ranging from plates loaded end to end with the classic breakfast fixings we all crave to savory omelettes and scrambles to heavenly pancakes and waffles. Sink into a cozy booth and appreciate the company of loved ones over a steamy cup of joe, dine al fresco with your furry four-legged companion on the patio, or grab a soul-stirring seasonal latte before exploring Old Town Torrance.
Peet’s Coffee
Peet’s maintains a reliable work and gathering space that features plenty of tables to sit down at and stay awhile, there’s also a lovely outdoor terrace shaded by umbrellas. The founder, Alfred Peet, wasn’t trying to start a coffee revolution when he set up shop in Berkeley back in 1966. He just thought Americans deserved a real cup of coffee.
Five decades later, his lone store has since blossomed into 200, each holding true to his vision: sourcing directly from the world’s finest estates, hand roasting to order in small batches, and making sure every cup is brewed as fresh and full-flavored as possible.
Copa Vida
This recent addition to the ever-budding index of Torrance coffee shops can be found nestled in the lobby of a gorgeous office building. Whether you’d like to snack on a scrumptious pastry during your lunch break or stop in for a high-quality pick-me-up on the way to work, whatever the case may be, Copa Vida has got you covered.
