Cafe Dulce

The hottest spot in USC village! We got Pastrami sandwitch, matcha latte and Hong Kong tea latte, the sandwitch is delicious !! full of meat and the portion is big. The space inside the store is small and noisy, it's better eat outside, enjoying the sun and breeze. I tried the breakfast burrito before, it's tasty too! Definately would come back and try different meal next time. Love Dulce as always

Wait can be long at lunch time Food and drinks are worth it! Reasonably priced as well Matcha is sweet but great! Iced pumpkin latte was also nice just one size only :| Kale peanut salad is AMAZING. that SAUCE

Cafe Dulce sandwiches and salads just hit different!!! I ordered the Spicy Chicken sandwich, which had herb-roasted chicken breast, tomatoes, house slaw, provolone & sweet chili sauce, and the Peanut Kale salad, which had fresh herbs, serrano, roasted peanut vinaigrette & grated reggiano. Everything was so fresh and delicious, especially the bread on the sandwich!!!! I appreciated that they had plenty of vegan options for my vegan friend, and can’t wait to come back and try other ones. The line was worth the wait, and it wasn’t terribly bad. Went fairly quickly for a weekend crowd and food came out fast. The music inside was too loud for conversation, but there is a patio area and the food and service were excellent!

The food is all good I’m sure you would be satisfied with anything on their menu, good place to grab food not horrible pricing for LA. However the service is very minimal but understandably, Cafe Dulce is always packed. So if you are looking for a sit down place this isn’t the one, this is great for to-go food or sitting outside in the village. They have amazing matcha and great options for anyone with a dietary restrictions with Vegan and gluten free options.

The food: Green Tea Roti is what my friend and I came here for. It was pretty good, although it did not have that matcha flavor, which, for me, was a good thing, as I don't like matcha-flavored anything but my friend was a bit disappointed, lol. The service: The line runs out the door and they explicitly ask people to line outside so as to avoid the inside to get too crowded, I think that's a fantastic ideas as the outside has near limitless space (this Cafe Dulce is nested inside the USC Village, so there's PLENTY of room to make a line even almost half a mile long, lol. The atmosphere: it was ok, I did like that one column that's full of stickers, it's very hipster and fits the criteria of being part of a vibrant and active college campus such as USC.
