About The Local Place Bakery and Cafe

The Local Place Bakery and Cafe is an asian bakery in Torrance, California. It is listed at 18605 S Western Ave, Torrance, CA 90504, which places it among the local businesses of Torrance that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as cafe, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Bubble tea, tea houses, Asian bakeries and dessert shops in this group are usually walk-in, counter-order businesses with a menu board overhead listing sweetness and ice levels you can adjust when ordering. Standard bubble tea customization includes sugar level (0-100%), ice level, and a choice of toppings like boba pearls, pudding or jelly, usually at a small extra charge. Asian bakeries sell items individually with tongs and a tray, cafeteria-style, rather than pre-boxed, and pastries are typically less sweet than Western bakery items. Lines build up quickly after school and in the evening, especially near colleges. Most of these businesses accept cards and mobile pay and skew younger in clientele and atmosphere.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. Typical hours are 7 am–8 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (310) 523-3233. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is thelocalplace.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 2,427 reviews, which is a strong result for an asian bakery in Torrance and suggests consistent service.

Torrance is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Torrance follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Super good! Hey we loved checking this place out, who doesn't love Hawaiian food? They have a neat fish tank and some merch to buy if you'd like as well which is fun. The food was really good, very solid beef, chicken, rice, and salad too! They serve very good desserts and tons of pastries. The parking is right outside, and they have restrooms there as well. 10/10 reccomend, very friendly staff and decently quick service!

What a gem! I came to buy a Paradise Cake and decided to get dinner to go too. The food was great, super fresh and really reasonably priced. The staff was great. The restaurant was really clean. They have seating to stay and eat but not like the bigger Kings Hawaiian restaurants, more like self serve dinning but it's still really nice. Definitely worth trying.

Their Hawaiian sweet rolls and rainbow cake are well known - the rainbow cake has a light, Asian-style sponge texture and isn’t overly sweet. The Dobash cake was also excellent, rich but not too sweet, and the Dole Whip had a nice sweet-and-tangy balance. For five people, we ordered the Ohana combo ($60). The fried rice was average, but the fried pork chop was pretty good. Overall, it’s a great spot for a casual meal and desserts. 📍 The Local Place Bakery and Cafe 18605 S Western Ave, Torrance, CA 90504

THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FISH AQUARIUM!! No need to drive all the way to King’s Hawaiian on Sepulveda, The Local Place has many of the same bakery items, and they’re just as delicious! I ordered the Kama‘aina Plate with three entrées (beef, kalua pork, and chicken katsu), all perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I couldn’t leave without something from the bakery! I purchased a slice of pumpkin cake with a rich orange icing and a piece of bread pudding, both absolutely fantastic. I also met Amethyst, the manager, who was such a sweetheart and provided outstanding customer service. My only small critique is that I wish the same friendliness she shows could be reflected a bit more by the rest of the staff, especially at the register. Overall, a great experience, I can’t wait to go back for more bakery treats and another delicious meal!

King's Hawaiian is local staple in the South Bay. I grew up having their wonderful Paradise Cakes for special occasions and the taste always reminds me of sunny summer birthdays. My favorites treats include the sweet rolls, rainbow bread slices, guava cake, and paradise cake. They also have wonderful pies, crinkle cookies, fruit tarts, and pineapple dole whip. They also have a large savory menu that is worth a try. Definitely worth a detour and visit!
