OMG. you GUYS. THIS is the place to be. Street parking, cute seating inside and outside, perfect for people watching and catching up with friends. Melanie (I hope thats how you spell it) was SO kind to us. She was incredible. Brought us waters with our coffee and brought our drinks out to us. Absolutely blown away by the service. The drinks and food were incredible. Everything was so perfect. I had to get a shirt to support even more. Do yourselves a favor and come here ASAP.
Was in the area for fiesta Hermosa and decided to visit café Minerva because I had seen on Instagram that they were open. The mural outside is so welcoming, we felt the positive vibes before we even entered. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the barista. We had some questions about the menu and she was so lovely answering all of our questions. I ended up having the Minerva iced. They also have the option of getting it hot. I loved the mixture of the café de Olla with espresso. It hit the spot. The place is a little small, but they have a really nice area out front. It lets you enjoy your coffee with some friends while enjoying the fresh ocean air.
So happy to have this place in Hermosa Beach. We stopped in on the Fourth of July. It was busy, but the line moved quickly and everyone was genuinely friendly. You can tell it's a family-owned business, and that comes through in the way they treat their customers. I had the Iced La Minerva, and it was outstanding. The spices really make it - smooth, unique, and delicious. We also picked up a few conchas to take home, and they were excellent. A great addition to Hermosa Beach. We'll definitely be back. 5 stars
It was my first time coming to Cafe Minerva and I loved it! I asked the cashier what she recommended and she asked me what I liked more between chocolate/vanilla/cinnamon I told her I liked vanilla/cinnamon flavors more and she suggested La Minerva Latte with Cajeta Cold Foam and it was sooo good! Her name was Araceli and she was great, and provided amazing customer service! The space is so cute, it's small and very cozy. They have a few seats inside and outside. There's plenty of street parking. Also, their branding is so nice, I love how it all comes together. I'm looking forward to going back soon to try their other drinks & pastries.
Excellent coffee shop with the best staff. I stopped here early Sunday morning and there was already a nice stream of people. The coffee was delicious. Can't wait to try the entire menu!
first timer! Mexican owned! service - 10/10 great recommendations & very friendly coffee - 10/10 not too sweet, perfect balance, amazing coffee - Unique flavors and foams food - 10/10 chori man breakfast burrito HIIIIT! ambiance - small but cute! Nice little outdoor patio
Incredibly warm and kind customer service, delicious chorizo breakfast burrito, the Minerva Lattes were delicious and smooth (my husband had it hot, I had it iced). Conchas were fresh and not dry and crumbly. Really cute place, cool mural with Mexican talavera styling outside and cute merch and stickers, too! Will come back again.
I stopped by this café on a weekday to meet a friend for coffee, and it was such a lovely experience. There isn't a parking lot, but we were able to find street parking nearby. Just be careful not to block any driveways in the neighborhood. The café itself is cute, cozy, colorful, and welcoming. It's a small neighborhood spot with a few tables outside, along with table and bar seating inside. It's the perfect place for a quick caffeine boost or to catch up with a friend. They offer a variety of drinks, pastries, pan dulce, and croissants. I ordered the iced matcha latte with strawberry foam and a brioche croissant, while my friend got the iced Sacred Vanilla Latte. My matcha was delicious--well balanced and not overly sweet, with the strawberry foam complementing it nicely. The brioche croissant was buttery, slightly sweet, and very flavorful. I also loved the pan dulce; it was soft, fluffy, fresh, and tasted amazing. What really stood out was the kindness of the staff. We were there close to closing time, and they generously gave us extra pastries to take home. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made the experience even more memorable. I would definitely recommend this café and look forward to coming back to try more of their drinks and pastries!
Service was amazing! The sweet lady at the register was incredibly kind and took the time to walk me through the menu. I never felt rushed instead, she was patient while I decided what to order, which made the experience even better. coffee? Absolutely delicious. There was something about the cold foam that made it stand out, it was so creamy and flavorful. If you're in the area, don't skip this place. You have to try it!
Excellent service. Super friendly. Amazing coffee with unique flavors. Support local. I'll be back!
Cafe Minerva is a small cafe nestled on the familiar street of Aviation, and I think it's my new favorite in HB! I tried their La Minerva iced latte which is sooo yummy, it has a cinnamon aftertaste which blends in really nicely with the coffee. Additionally, the employees are very kind! Show them some love and go give them a try
I am thrilled this establishment opened! I am a fan of they have incorporated the culture with the Hermosa Beach vibe and aesthetic. The colors and ambience are inviting. The owner Herman has created a welcoming environment but his baristas and staff are all just as welcoming - that makes a huge difference. It is what sets a commercial coffee shop apart from a neighborhood coffee shop. They have Mexican sweet bread and breakfast burritos too. I ordered the cold brew black (cafe Minerva) and truly enjoyed every sip. It's so earthy and easy on the palate, balanced, smooth. The prices are so reasonable as well. I enjoyed the burrito and look forward to them expanding their menu and hours (I hope a salsa comes with the burrito soon, like a creamy chipotle or something, yum!) If you're in the mood for a cozy, neighborhood coffee shop with chill Hermosa Beach vibes, this is your spot. Come check them out! I definitely will be back.
Amazing addition to the neighborhood. Their doors are finally open and we couldn't be more excited. We are obsessed with our go-to order (cafe de olla) and conchas. We look forward to picking up burritos with our coffee on the weekends. Today I tried their warrior cold brew with cold foam and it may be my new favorite! I can't wait to try their matcha too. My wife and I have already put ourselves on a budget, otherwise we would be here once or twice a day. And to top it all off, the couple who owns it could not be more welcoming and friendly towards everyone who walks through the door, excited to share their coffee and food and culture. You can feel the love when you walk in. Hermosa is so lucky to have this gem in our neighborhood.

The service and homemade syrups really set this place apart! Everyone was so welcoming and kind this morning & answered all of our questions as it was our first visit to Cafe Minerva. I had the vanilla latte (made with Mexican vanilla) which had a really nice flavor profile & was aromatic in the best way. My husband got a drink with the Cajeta foam which was such a unique & yummy flavor too! It's always refreshing these days - with lattes being so expensive - that at least the syrups are made in house :) We both ordered ours with extra ice (we don't like when our drinks are watered down, especially on a hot day) and I'd definitely suggest getting extra ice here as our drinks came with an average amount of ice. read more
I've been here twice now. The first time the service was super friendly!!!! I immediately knew what I wanted when I saw their offerings, however on this particular morning, I wanted coffee and not matcha. I asked if the Matcha Mi Amor could be made with coffee instead of matcha and they happily obliged. The cream top is delicious!!! However, the coffee was lacking and that was disappointing. I knew I wanted to come back and try the Matcha Mi Amor so that's what I did. It was definitely better with matcha. However, it's not a sweet drink. I don't like overly sweet but I don't want my drink not sweet either. Definitely popular and there's street parking in the front which I've always been able to find. read more

Been wanting to try this new coffee shop since it opened recently, and I already look forward to coming back to try more! I ordered the La Minerva latte with their cajeta foam, and it was well-balanced with its blend of spices and rich caramel flavor from the foam. I definitely wanna try their matcha latte next. Parking might be hit or miss since it's street only and a fairly small space that you might miss when driving by. Also, it's family-owned! Show your love and support. read more

Stopped by Café Minerva during their grand opening, and it was such a fun experience! The live mariachi music created a festive atmosphere, and the café itself is absolutely adorable. The owners, Luisa and her husband, were incredibly welcoming and made everyone feel right at home. Their hospitality really stands out. The burritos are absolutely delicious; fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth coming back for! Seating is limited both inside and outside, but don't let that stop you. It's the perfect place to grab your order to go or take it down to the beach and enjoy your meal with an ocean view. If you're in Hermosa Beach and looking for a charming local spot with amazing food and genuinely friendly owners, I highly recommend Café Minerva. Wishing them much success! read more

Feeling so grateful (and spoiled!) to have Cafe Minerva around the corner. I became hooked back at their pop ups and got to try cafe de olla for the first time. Now they are fully open and we've put ourselves on a budget so we don't end up here 20 times a week! Staff is delightful and the drinks are so inventive. I keep finding new favorites and my kids love the conchas. This place is pure positive energy. read more

New fave in South Bay. The friendly service, the unique cultural aesthetics, and their coffee that brings more than just a caffeinated beverage... IT TASTES LIKE A RITUAL. Obsessed with their cold brew + La Minerva syrup and the Cajeta cold foam. Everything is so thoughtfully created. Thanks guys for bringing this into our community. Cheers! read more

New favorite coffee spot!!! Every single staff member working at Cafe Minerva welcomes you with a smile! The family that owns this small business is nothing short of friendly and welcoming! All their syrups are made in house and the staff is knowledgeable and attentive in making sure you order exactly what you're craving! The drinks and pastries are delicious and you might try something new that you fall in love with. I tried my first Bolillos at Cafe Minerva and it blew me away! Definitely give this spot a try you won't be sorry! read more

I've been following Cafe Minerva on social media since their pop-up days and I'm excited they are now open! From the moment you walk in the staff is so friendly, like they've known you for years and the music makes you want to dance! I tried the bolillo and iced xocolate and it's absolutely to die for. Growing up I remember getting the mini version of the bolillo so this was very nostalgic for me. I've also tried the iced sacred vanilla latte and topped it with the cajeta cold foam- definitely recommend the cold foam! read more

Our new favorite coffee shop! I've gone every weekend for my weekend splurge and have not been disappointed. The Cafe de olla Latte with cold foam is my favorite drink ever! And the conchas omg sooooooo good! I'm obsessed with the fact that she did not tone down her culture and instead lets it shine through her delicious drinks. The decor makes me feel at home and I love showing my kids the culture we sometimes lack in our little sleepy beach town. Her staff is amazing always sweet and smiling which you don't always find. Yay to a new local favorite for us! read more

This place is absolutely perfect. Not only did it live up to my expectations, but exceeded them. It has such a warm and welcoming vibe, the whole staff is so sweet! My iced La Minerva Latte was easily one of the best lattes I've ever had. Unfortunately I've grown to be pretty picky about my coffee and this one was top notch. The flavors were perfect! Not too sweet, everything perfectly balanced. My daughter loved her iced strawberry matcha too, she said it was "way better than starbies". What a great addition to the community, will be back!! read more

Cafe Minerva is a gem in The South Bay! It's just what the community needed with its authentic flavor. The aromatic coffee drinks are so delicious and have that nostalgic feel to them. Their syrups are made in house, with high quality ingredients. You can even buy some to take home (when they aren't flying off the shelf). And the space is absolutely adorable and is a true representation of The Mexican Culture! I just love popping in for a coffee, conversing with locals, and taking a moment in the space, it's that welcoming. read more
