Me encanta Café Minerva! Every visit, it's so hard to choose what to order because everything sounds amazing My current favorite is an iced Sacred Vanilla with cajeta foam. The cajeta foam is life-changing! I'll usually rotate between the Sacred Vanilla and their Dirty Xoco and both are so yummy. Everyone is really sweet there read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

Stopped by on a Saturday morning and what stood out the most was the customer service. The smiles! Everyone is friendly and beyond helpful. We asked the cashier about the flavor of their syrup and they provided us a sample without hesitation. Even with the line out the door. after working in customer service, I LOVE THAT. If people are waiting in line, make their experience worth while and ensure they leave the line satisfied and excited for their order. They did just that. We both ordered their vanilla latte. While it wasn't our favorite latte, the service and family oriented environment will make me come back and give them another try. One note on space, not too much space so be ready to head out after. read more

Cafe Minerva is a small cafe nestled on the familiar street of Aviation, and I think it's my new favorite in HB!

Show them some love and go give them a try read more

Cafe Minerva is a small cafe located at the heart of Manhattan Beach. Some of the stuff we ordered was their La Minerva, Chori-Man Breakfast Burrito, and La Xocolate. When I found out they sold Cafe De Olla, I immediately informed my husband because of his love for it. While it did have the seasonings, the coffee tasted slightly "stale" on our tongues. We were slightly disappointed, especially because our hobby is to try different coffee and coffee beans. The Xocolate was also a questionable drink. When I first got it, I had to double-take whether I received the right order. It was very watered down. I was expecting something reminiscent of a chocolate drink, but when I took a drink out of it, I barely tasted anything but the syrup. The last thing we ordered was their breakfast burrito. This burrito was probably the highlight of our order! Each bite I took was amazing, and it had the right amount of ingredients in it. The only downside would be the size of it knowing that we paid $12 for it. Overall, if you are looking to try something new in the area, Cafe Minerva would be up your alley! 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

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. read more

Cafe Minerva - La Minerva (iced) and chorizo burrito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

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. read more

Friendly staff, a cozy interior and quaint exterior with a view of the ocean. A warming drink in your hand and the dulcet tones of the passing traffic, what more could one want to start the day? There is street parking directly in front but limited overall so biking, walking or ridesharing would be best. I look forward to their menu expanding and did I mention they have ChoriMan burritos available?! Perfect for a weekend morning. 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

I love everything here! I've been coming for a while now, and it's always sooo yummy. My current obsession is the Dirty xhocolate (chocolate + espresso) with strawberry cold foam. You seriously can't go wrong with their Café de Olla either paired with a concha--Everything I've tried has been so good! Their breakfast burritos are also super buss down ‍and the team?! They're the sweetest. You can really tell the owners put their heart and soul into this place. The quality, the service, the atmosphere... it's all so good!!

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

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

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

So excited Cafe Minerva finally opened, every time I would drive by I would eagerly look to see if it was open and I can say without a doubt it is worth the wait.

I also had the chori man breakfast burrito and of course it was delish. When I woke up today I was craving the coffee immediately. I can see why there are already so many repeat customers.
