The hazelnut crumble is dry and lacks flavor The coffee donut is really good Overall their stuff is great
Omggg their blueberry matcha ($5.50) always hits. It's like a florally taste which is totally up my alley. Also got a strawberry matcha ($6.50) to compare and it lacks in comparison -- it tastes artificial almost but that may be due to the use of almond milk in addition. SO recommended the Roti ($3.25) and it's a wonderful combination of savory (perfect amt of butter? Inside) and sweet (crunchy crusting and almonds outside). Such a yummy lil snack! Next time I'll try the snowcap, its cheesier counterpart I hear. Service is fast and attentive. Free 2 hour ticketless parking underground.
So my partner brought me to the USC village to go have a coffee and we tried out "Dulce." They had food and other options that looked good. So I got their breakfast burrito with a Blueberry Matcha latte and both items were fantastic! The spicy mayo and ketchup were a good combo The ambience of this place was nice and simple for a school cafe. It does get busy though as people were coming for their coffee/ tea fix. The service was good too.
I love going to Cafe Dulce for their blueberry matcha and donut holes. I normally go to their Little Tokyo location but happened to be at USC Village so decided to grab something quick here. I saw that they had a strawberry matcha as their seasonal drink so I ordered that instead. It tasted just as good as their blueberry matcha! Subtly sweet strawberry and earthy matcha makes a good combination. I also picked up a matcha donut which was so soft and fluffy. Service was fast and they validate parking. There was lots of ample seating to sit and do work (perfect for USC students!) and they provided WiFi too. Overall, I would definitely stop here if I'm in the village for CorePower or Trader Joe's and need a quick pick me up!
Tasty spot with food, drinks, and baked goods. Tried the blueberry matcha latte (5/5), strawberry matcha latte (5/5), breakfast burrito (5/5), and mango creme donut (5/5). A bit pricey but all delicious!
Ordered the blueberry matcha, pastrami burger, and portobello burger Everything was so good and it was perfect meal before a concert at the shrine. It was hard to eat the burgers in a clean manner, but I would order them again
Cafe Dulce @ USC Village is always packed but the line goes pretty quickly. I come here pretty frequently and LOVE their blueberry matcha latte - it's the right amount of sweetness and just so good! The regular matcha latte is fine too, but just get the blueberry one. I've had the matcha roti and mocha roti too, and the latter was a bit too sweet for me but they're perfect little treats to get on the go. The staff is friendly despite it being so busy all the time and always ask if I want the pastries warmed up.
I LOVE THIS PLACE! Their coffee and matcha is delicious and is a must get when I'm in the area. My personal favorite food item is their pesto chicken panini, the crunch and softness of the bread is phenomenal and the mango jicama side salad is the perfect complement to the sandwich. The line is usually long and many folks are waiting for their orders inside so it can be crowded and noisy, but despite that service is quick. I haven't had to wait more than 12 minutes for my order to be ready. Check it out if you're in the area, it won't disappoint.
This place is a great spot for a sweet matcha latte, located at the Village at USC. The line is always out the door, but it moves fast. There is free 2-hour validated parking in the parking structure for the Village. I tried their popular blueberry matcha latte and I was surprised I enjoyed it. I typically don't like blueberry with matcha and am more of a strawberry matcha person, but the blueberry flavor wasn't overpowering. It is definitely on the sweeter side so if you like your matcha sweet, Dulce would be the spot for you. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for high quality matcha though. They sell ceremonial matcha latte, but it doesn't taste much stronger than their regular matcha latte. I was craving a sweet drink that day, so I really enjoyed the drink although this spot wouldn't be my go-to for matcha.
Old reliable matcha at USC. Fast service during the summer. Beautiful campus. This location has several seats, and can grab a bite here as well.
