Crema's Take

Tucked away in Little Tokyo's Japanese Village Plaza, Cafe Dulce is a beloved neighborhood gem where seriously good coffee meets an exceptional bakery case that'll have you debating between the blueberry matcha latte and their buttery green tea roti. The vibe is all about slow mornings and lingering conversations—expect a line during peak hours and a cozy corner spot where locals gather for creative breakfast dishes and pastries worth the walk through the shopping center. It's the kind of place where a friend's recommendation turns into your new favorite ritual.

A friend of mine introduced me to Dulce, and I instantly fell in love with the bakery. They have an amazing variety of pastries and desserts that are worth trying. My favorite is the blueberry matcha drink with oat milk!

This place looks good. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their green tea roti which had decent green tea flaves with a buttery cookie crust and and thin layer of some sort of filling. The bread itself was decently soft and chewy. Overall eh. Green tea roti $4

First time here, parking can be tricky, expect to walk, and expect a line depending on the time of day you go. Located in the corner of a shopping center so a little tucked away, can’t be seen from the street. Short line that moved quickly, breakfast food is available, as well as their fancy donuts and dessert breakfasts, we got a matcha latte and a Vietnamese coffee, both full of flavor, great size for the price as well. Lots of seating inside and out while you wait. Drinks came out quickly. Friendly helpful staff. Highly recommend annnd will definitely be returning.

good service, very popular little tokyo breakfast and lunch cafe. I had the blueberry latte and bacon breakfast burrito (not pictured) food was good, but I will say the burrito was VERY good in my opinion 5☆ while the matcha (thier most popular item) was okay. Mild matcha and blueberry flavor, but not bad. Decent price point esp considering how other cafes in LA try to rip you off. If you want to come here keep in mind they are always BUSY, there's always gonna be a line. And I reccomend their savory items.

NO GIMMICKS, JUST AMAZING FOOD & COFFEE! My bestie found this delightful cafe in the heart of Japanese Village Plaza. We were looking for a good breakfast spot and WOW, this was great! He got a breakfast burrito and I got a egg sandwich with ham and spinach. It's safe to say we definitely enjoyed our meal. Next, I ordered a cold brew with oatmilk which was served with a little tin cup. The coffee wasn't too strong and was a perfect pick-me-up. Lastly, we both ordered vegan coconut donuts as this place is famous for their bakery items! This was one of the best vegan donuts in the LA area. If you're a plant-based diva you need to try this! The service was solid, the girl at the counter was respectful and mellow. The staff seemed to really enjoy their job and the ambiance was great. All customers looked happy both inside the cafe and in the outdoor patio tables. The cafe is modern and cozy. It's got Japanese and Hispanic influence for sure! I think this is a GREAT spot to have a visit with a friend and chat about life.
