Cafe Dulce (usc Village)

Amazing food and drinks located right in USC village! In my personal opinion, this is the best restaurant and best coffee spot on campus and within reasonable proximity. Both the savory meal items and sweeter desserts were all excellent. Drinks also hit the spot. Definitely recommend it and thanks so much for the quality service even during busy shifts! Parking: USC Village now offers free 2 hour parking underground automatically with no validation necessary!

It looked busy on this sunny day. There was a waiting line out the door. Blueberry Matcha Latte is quite good. $6 for smaller size; including tips. Staff was very helpful. I got to taste matcha before making my buying decision. Comparison of Matchas: The Matcha at Sunlife is almost $10; as compared to $6 at Dulce and $7 at Soboyeyo. Unfortunately, it seems like all the Matcha beverages come pre-sweetened at USC Village vendors. Bummer.

The buns are delicious! Tastier than Korean roti buns.. If you eat a snow blah bun, there is cream cheese inside. Best~ Blueberry matcha is an unexpected combination, but I like the combination of the subtle blueberry scent and matcha taste. There were two recommended menu items. *Revisit at 11:00 AM US time 7/26 It’s a taste that keeps coming back to me!!

This was on March 22, 2024 3:34PM and I 'm barely reviewing it June 30, 2024. I 've been debating if I should post it or not, due to the fact that I work in the Village as well and don 't want them to treat me WORST after this review. Here we go: Like mentioned before, I work in the Village and see my co-workers, along w/ clients/customers always walking around w/ the Green Drink and I wanted to try it to see what the hype was about. The hype was real. Matcha Tea is awesome!! •1st time I was there, I ordered the Matcha (NO ICE), and a Salad w/ extra dressing. When I received my food, I was missing the extra vinaigrette I had ordered, so I asked the cashier if she had entered it on my order. She looked at me annoyed and asked someone else to get it for me. I UNDERSTAND THEY ARE ALWAYS VERY BUSY, so I didn 't think much of it and walked away happy w/ my Matcha Tea. •2nd time, I brought my son to also try the Matcha tea. Again, I asked for BOTH NO ICE PLEASE. When they called my order, I saw both drinks had ice. The same cashier that helped me the 1st visit I made was now making the Tea and when I politely reminded her that I had requested BOTH DRINKS WITH NO ICE..... again, she gave me that LOOK and grabbed a big spoon and took the ice out. Once the ice was out, the teas were almost down to half the cup. I thought she would refill that missing part. ...yeah right!! She rudely slammed the cups on the counter kept going. I wanted to go off on her so bad ecause this was my 2nd time there and both times the same Asian girl treated me poorly. Since I was with my son; I walked away per his request. LOOK AT THAT PUCTURE I POSTED TELL ME IF THAT 'S APPROPRIATE.

Located at the Village at USC. It can be very crowded; however, it really has a fast service at the USC. Been going to USC for the longest time now. Love this campus and cafe. It’s always my good to. Came here for the mango jicama salad. Very refreshing and worth it. My husband wanted me to share…but I only got one. Sorry but not sorry. My toddler was already stealing my fresh mangos…..?
