    Covinten is exactly what Hermosa Beach needed. The moment you walk in, you feel the care and intention behind everything -- from the friendly staff to the beautifully balanced drinks. My coffee was smooth, flavorful, and clearly crafted with pride. The space is bright, inviting, and perfect for slowing down or getting a little work done. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

    The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The drinks were also very good with perfect presentation . The soft music and the exquisite decoration made it feel very upscale. The service was top notch. I would definitely return.

    Ricotta berry pancakes. Really good and filling!

    Fancy looking place with great tasting and visually appealing food. Ordered the ricotta pancakes and am pleased with what I got.

    Covinten Café is a really nice surprise in Hermosa Beach. It has this laid-back tropical feel, but there is also a subtle French vibe going on that makes it feel a little more special than your usual coffee stop. I had the sangria tea and loved it. It was super refreshing and not overly sweet, and the edible flower was such a cool touch. It actually tasted fresh and clean, not just something thrown in for looks, which made the whole drink feel thoughtful and different. The place is welcoming, the kind of place you want to sit for a bit instead of rushing out. Definitely feels like something new for the area, and I will for sure be coming back.

    Everything about this place is beautiful! They executed such an immaculate ambiance here! The food and pastries options are great and several steps above what other places have to offer. They are very nice here and I loved my experience. I'm glad I was able to stop by while I was in town. I would come again! I hope they have great success!

The aesthetic inside is really nice, clean, sunny, and with a few spots to sit and enjoy your drink or get some work done. They have a good variety of drinks, plus a few seasonal options as well. I got the Earl Grey matcha latte, and my husband went with the banana cream matcha latte. Both drinks came out pretty quickly! And they were SO good. I love Earl Grey in my matcha, and Otto Tea Shoppe nailed the flavor. The matcha was earthy and a great green color. My husband really enjoyed his banana matcha (and so did I... wife tax hehe). The banana flavor was super enjoyable and clearly not artificial. I'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks!

    The matcha was disappointing. For something presented as ceremonial grade, the drink had none of…read morethe care that should come with that word. It was not whisked properly, the texture was off and the flavor was flat in that unmistakable way bad matcha announces itself immediately. Matcha is simple, but it is not casual. When it's done well, you can taste the attention. When it's done poorly, there's nowhere to hide. This tasted rushed, underworked and overpriced. Service didn't help. The whole experience felt indifferent. There are too many places taking matcha seriously now to settle for a cup that feels like someone bought the right language but skipped the discipline.

I had a coffee, which was good and hit the spot, and my friend ordered the grilled cheese with a fruit plate - simple, comforting, and nicely done. Service was good and staff friendly. One cool detail out front is a small wishing tree where you can hang tags, which adds a fun, thoughtful touch to the place. The gift shop next door was bright and festive, perfect for the holidays, and a great spot to pick up some last-minute, unique gifts you don't see everywhere. Overall, a really pleasant café and shop combo that's worth checking out.

I'm an adult woman, almost 48, and I don't appreciate being told how I should behave in a disrespectful way. At one point, an employee even told me not to talk to other customers--even when they were the ones starting conversations with me. That felt like bullying. Thankfully, that employee is no longer there, but the overall attitude still hasn't fully improved. I've been bringing my two dogs with me for a long time without any issues. Recently, I was told I can't use the bathroom anymore--even just to quickly wash my hands before eating. I understand rules about dogs not being allowed in certain areas, and that was explained properly, but the way everything was handled felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. Because of this shift in attitude, I've noticed other customers have stopped coming as well, like Alex and Trisha. Some people have even mentioned that the overall environment and customer treatment aren't as good as they used to be. It's disappointing, because this used to be a place I really liked. Now it feels like the attitude has changed, and not in a good way.
