The Local Place Bakery and Cafe

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!

Happened to be in Torrance to do some shopping. Got a taste for the Hawaiian Local Bakery & Cafe and was hungry, too! I got their Hawaiian Plantation Chicken plate and my sister got their Beef Stew plate. Oh my was it delicious 😋 and really hit the spot! The rice and macaroni salad were perfectly made and so yummy. Ate so much and did not even have room for their deserts 🍰. Going to have take some home for later.

Good sized portion. I got the one entree plate with teriyaki chicken, salad and brown rice. They messed up on the salad (missing the dressing), but fixed it when I brought it to their attention. The chicken was ok but not spectacular.

I love this bakery & restaurant. I just did not like the macadamia pineapple dole whip once it got towards the bottom. 😵‍💫

My wife love Thor food most of the lunch time she picked up there. I also tried sometimes.

I've only ever visited King's Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant on Sepulveda which is full service, so I wish I had discovered The Local Place sooner. Conveniently located off the 405 freeway at Western Avenue, this offshoot of King's Hawaiian is more fast casual yet features many of the same menu and bakery items you can find at their parent location. Mahalo to the staff for their friendly and efficient service. I ordered the Breakfast Loco Moco which was a solid choice, but the serving size was on the smaller side probably due to it being a breakfast item. I washed it down with a sweet cup of Iced Vanilla Kona Coffee. I also got a Spam Musubi and Mac Salad to go that provided a delightful snack later in the day. King's Hawaiian serves up great tasting Hawaiian food but IMO the bakery is where it's at. I was in a rush or I def would've picked up some sweets to go. You can't go wrong with any bakery item but if you haven't tried the Paradise Cake yet, where have you been??

First time here. I bought the grilled chickens the fruit mini parfait cup. Total was 15.67 The chicken teriyaki sandwich came with no teriyaki sauce. An employee named lamar was getting water. I asked for a water cup. she got the cup of water for me strangely, but thank you. Rayu, the employee who took my order and gave me my food, he needed to go home he working sick and sneezing. I asked for an extra teriyaki sauce, and he said it would be an extra charge. Luckily, I checked my food and planned on doing a review for my first-time food location. Walked in, and I think his name was Scott gave me some sauce. It was not none on my food. Sandwich ok
