I had a pretty solid positive outlook on them. I ordered the "French Toast Latte". I feel like it should have been called the Burnt toast latte. I genuinely took 3 sips and tossed it away in the trash can on the side walk. I tried to mix it and grabbed a straw to do so and it made it WORSE. I'm extremely disappointed that I wasted $7 on a latte. I've had bad coffees before, but this one took the cake. It tasted like milk, and the espresso tasted acidic, burnt have you. At least with other bad coffees I could stomach at least half of it but this was just really acidic. I noticed other people mentioning the coffee scene in LA isn't the same anymore and this attested to that. They started picking up foot traffic & I wasn't going to wait to ask for a remake or anything, I took the L and life moves on. I wasn't going to play Karen about it. The Lamington pastry somewhat saved the experience. This was an extremely moist, spongy, sweet cake that was delicious with coconut flakes on top. She was AMAZING. I snagged a piece off my friends and it was reeallllly good. I would recommend if you like coconut and a softer spongy cake like pastry! Talk about the underdog in this trip. The aesthetic is cute, it's clean and resembles a house. I like the scheme they have going on. The other half looks like a gift shop that I did not go into. They have a restroom available as well inside. Customer service was just customer service. Nothing amazing or bad about it. Pretty standard. We mentioned it's our first time & the girl didn't really care lol. We had questions and it was very whatever kind of vibe. No enthusiasm. Parking would be on the street so good luck!

I've been coming here for the better part of 12 years. They've never disappointed. The service is…read morealways top notch, and I've tried pretty much everything on their menu. The Mediterranean Skillet is my favorite. Their coffee is delicious too. The OJ is yummy. The portions are great. It's the kind of place that takes you back in time. There's an ample amount of seating. There's plenty of parking close to the diner, with a few spots in the rear. The kids enjoy their food offerings, which is a huge plus, given how picky they can be. There is some outdoor seating, but I prefer the atmosphere inside personally. They definitely make you feel right at home. You're going to get your money's worth. Good price point for what comes to your table. They don't skimp. Give this place a try. You'll be glad you did.

We loved that it was empty and open before dinner, most places close in between lunch and dinner. So it was great to see it open to take advantage of their delicious crepes. I ordered the lemon butter crepe which satisfied my friend crepe craving at the time. I believe my husband got something with almonds and powdered sugar. His was pretty good, I almost wanted to trade with him. He sometimes ends up ordering better than I do and I'm the self proclaimed foodie . Absolutely loved the touch of the yellow roses. It set the mood and made me feel like I was somewhere in Paris on a date with my little family. Best crepes I've had in the Southbay!

We were surprised to learn there had been a change in management, as we have enjoyed dining here many times in the past and have always had positive experiences with both the food and service. This visit was noticeably different. The manager/server who attended to us came across as cold, unfriendly, and rude, which made us feel unwelcome. In addition, the food was very bland and dry, far below the quality we had come to expect from this location. Because we have been loyal customers over the years, this experience was especially disappointing. I am currently waiting to hear back from the owner, as I hope these concerns will be addressed. At this point, we are uncertain whether we will return to this location.

It's connected to a hotel and a private beach club it seems. But the ground level outdoor area is directly on the Strand. I saw a few more robust Dinner menus floating around on line but we were offered the more streamlined All-Day menu when we stopped by. My wife was a pretty big fan of the seafood Louie and my son crushed his grilled cheese sandwich. I went with the fish tacos and while I enjoyed the tortilla, I didn't love the fish itself; a fried Baja style would have been significantly better in my opinion. The burger also looks solid but do note that they don't serve french fries and instead have some pretty underwhelming fingerling potatoes. The vast majority of folks seemed to be there for the drinks and the offerings were quite robust. Service was also pretty decent given just how busy they were during the Friday dinner rush.

Where do I start? Lovely location right on the Strand. Parking was really difficult to find, but…read moreonce there, it was super cute. But it all went down from there: 1) Super hot on the patio, not enough shaded areas or umbrellas. Felt my skin frying and everyone took turns moving around to sit in the shade. Or, place napkins on our heads or arms. (Lady at another table had a napkin on her head - literally.) 2) If you're gluten free you should skip this place. There are virtually NO options other than the fish tacos or the Louie (crab and shrimp) Salad. I asked if the Eggs Benedict could be served without the English muffin, and the server looked at me like I spoke an alien language. I said if so, would it be possible to get some arugula or spinach instead of the English muffin. She said she didn't think so, and went to check with the chef. She left and came back to tell me NO substitutions. Excuse me? Are we at a food truck or an upscale establishment where this should not be an issue? It was the simplest request, and didn't require any altering of the way the meal was cooked - just leave off the English muffin/put down a handful of arugula or spinach. FAIL. 3) Service was slow. No one came back to check on us. We had to flag her down. 4) The bathroom was dirty and disgusting. It was shocking, but the trash was overflowing and partially on the floor, the sink was clogged and had yellowish water pooled there, the floor was wet probably from people trying to wash their hands.. There's no excuse for this kind of negligence. 5) That all being said the food was okay. The salad wasn't bad... it just wasn't what I wanted. I was at a party so I couldn't up and leave. I really wanted the Eggs Benedict since all the ingredients other than the English muffin were safe for me to have. My coffee was just okay, and really strong. I was charged for an "Americano" but I just had an iced coffee, so not sure about why they billed it as something else. I will NOT be back. I was uncomfortable, and unhappy being there. It was overpriced for the (limited) menu options, the (poor) service, the (hot and loud) ambience and the (lack of) cleanliness.

Filled with lots of natural light through large glass windows where you can see the palm trees dancing in the breeze. I was greeted with a big smile and hello from Antonio who was so pleasant and recommended the Flat Iron Steak. I love that he asked how I liked it cooked and was served perfectly as requested (medium rare). It was served on a fresh ciabatta roll that was nicely grilled for the perfect crunch. The steak was dressed with fresh arugula and tomato with a flavorful chimichurri sauce that interestingly had grilled onions as well. The steak was juicy, perfectly seasoned and cooked and overflowing nicely from the roll, definitely well portioned. I opted for the green salad as my side, which was served separately (which was nice), and filled with fresh mix lettuce, carrots and cherry tomatoes, cucumber and ranch dressing. The restaurant had some games for kids to entertain them which is great for families, especially while away from home. They offer a full bar and specialty coffees as well. Antonio shared they have a new breakfast menu that I hope to try in the morning.

It's family-owned, the service is impeccable, and everyone there is incredibly kind. The sandwiches are the reason you come here. You build your own by grabbing a ticket, heading to the back, and checking off exactly what you want. My go-to is a French baguette with prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, pesto, and tomatoes. It's absolutely generational. This is the perfect spot to grab lunch before heading to the beach. If you're lucky enough to know about The Green Store, don't take it for granted--it's another generational South Bay find. (But between us... let's keep this one on the down low.

The bread was toasted just right, the sauerkraut had great balance, and everything came together exactly how a classic Reuben should.

The vibe is laid-back, service is friendly, and it's the kind of local spot you end up craving again a few days later. If you're in Hermosa Beach and looking for a great sandwich, especially a Reuben with pastrami, The Green Store is a must. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu.
