Lisa's Bon Appetit - Café & Bakery - Cafe in Torrance - 2809 Pacific Coast Hwy, USA

I love this place but I ordered the thai chicken salad and I found this . Its like grease dirt. You know when they clean grills or dirt from counter tops , Or like cement I still ate the salad( half of it) i couldnt finish the whole thing thinking about the stuff i found , I had no choice because I work nights and Cafeteria is close. But hopefully they check on their salad next time . Just a warning.

Want a great place for a nice sit found lunch. You order at the counter with really nice ladies, then find yourself a seat and your food is delivered to you by name. You're not just a number here! Awesome set menu with daily specials....today was salmon with veggies & mashed potatoes for example. Excellent soups and salads with take to go option along with a humongous choice of cookies, cup cakes and other tempting items.

Breakfast was quick and happy for dine-in! So glad this place is near the Ramada hotel. Potato shreds are solid.

I did a terrible mistake going here.Ordered a Tarzana Panini. Suppose to have avacoda. Indeed there was but it was so so little, could hardly see it. The sandwich had only meat, no lettuce or tomatoes, no veggies at all. Just no taste. Only bread and meat. I think there was some sauce but again very less. Horrible food.

We came in for a quick afternoon pastry and coffee. Everything we ordered and ate was delicious. My favorite was the raspberry custard tart. One orders and pays at the counter and then you find a place to sit down, however, I saw a lot of folks just taking their food TO GO. The food items such as breakfast, lunch and salads sound delicious from the menu descriptions. The staff was friendly and efficient. I will come back again if I am in the area. Parking is easy in front of the bakery or nearby

It's my first time here. I ordered half a sandwich with their grill3d chicken salad, soda and a lemon bar. Lemon bar isn't too sweet & taste like it was just made 30 mins ago. The sandwhich I ordered is cold sandwich so there's really nothing much to say about that lol, but they do serve hot sandwhiches. I came here to try their chicke. sandwich and boy it did not disappoint! Their salad tastes super fresh and the dressing although very tasty, isn't heavy and does not overpower the freshness of the vegetables in the salad. The cashier lady who helped me was so kind and helped with a big smile on her face. I love it here! I will be a regular customer! P.S. I went to their restroom to wash my hands and I am pleased to say that theri restroom is CLEAN! Nice!!!

AWFUL CATERING EXPERIENCE. The business owner Susanne will ignore you and any attempted requests to address customer service issues. I paid a $1500+ catering invoice for my baby shower last May, and the day of the event was poorly executed. (Server was not prepared to manage the event on her own, table settings were not set at time of event, family needed to step in a help support/ set-up, coffee machine was broken, missing utensils, no final receipt or invoice provided.) After my event, Susanne (business owner) called me to inform me an extra charge that was needed to be applied to my credit card, and at that time i shared my concerns about the poor catering service during my event. —She agreed to look into the matter and call me back to further discuss. We even set a time to follow up (Wednesday at noon). She never called me back at our agreed time or returned my calls or attempts to contact her. Im still shocked— SO unprofessional of a business owner to agree to “look into the matter”, set a time to call back, and NEVER call and proceed to then ignore from there on out. This business clearly doesn’t not value customers experience or service. I wish I could order from here again but experience with the business owner was terrible — you would think she would care about customers willing to pay $1500+ for catering service for a private event for 40 people, but this experience is telling otherwise.

This is a sandwich and salad cafe and bakery. Very good food and a massive salad for under $10. Pleasant atmosphere. The baked goods look wonderful but I haven't tried anything yet.
