“A hidden gem with a trendy taste that’s hard to find elsewhere. I ordered Matcha Latte with macadamia milk and it was SO GOOD, just the right amount of sweetness! 🥰 I was also impressed with the quick and great customer service! (Torrance Area) Definitely coming back. 🍵☺️“

“I tried the Philly cheesesteak, seasoned classic fried and cheesecake. My god was it good. I was visiting from london 🇬🇧, the cheesesteak was so hot, soft and fresh. The bbq sauce dip is a an absolute must! The fries were so damn good, way better than any of the spots I’ve eaten. And the cheesesteak, I’ve had cheesesteak from the cheesecake factory and from bakeries, this was the best! And for $3.99 I’m so happy with the pricing can’t complain. Will absolutely come again. Thank you for lady who served me at the till!“

“fresh made churros gilled with chocolate or others fillings and served with soft icecxream.“

“Visited this place for the first time the other day. We will definitely be going back sometime soon!! The staff were beyond helpful and very sweet with my daughter too. 😊“

“I was there during a random power outtage a few weeks back and the whole staff was friendly and attentive while their machines were down. The young lady cashier was super kind and accommodated me with a gift card for the wait. Robert, one of the managers, went out of his way for a week to help me get my payments back.“

“We were visiting a nearby restaurant but stopped here as the other one had crazy wait. This turned out to be a nice little surprise.

They are a bit disoriented with their management though. We struggled to find a table and service was highly lacking - it was chaotic to be precise. This place has a cute ambience and it can do better with efficient management.

However, once we got the table and were able to place our order, everything fell in place. The food was tasty , a lot better than I expected. The pinsas that we got were both very good. The Gnocchi pasta was also to the point.

They have nice dessert options as well , we got the gelato sampler(nice and cute) and the Tiramisu (OK).

Overall - A Good Experience !“

“This is our go-to Nekter, both for the convenience and the consistency. We’ve never received a wrong order, and we always get friendly service!“

“Good tasty donuts for a great price.
Half the price of dunkin donuts but tastes 10x better. Gentleman behind the counter was friendly and patient while I was asking questions and placing my order.
Will definitely be back !“
