    Ordered Not Your Mama's Banana Bread with espresso. Delicious! Will have to come back to do some laundry.
    Irene Q.

    Ordered Banana Bread espresso. Delicious! Service was friendly. Good music. Clean and chill. Enough seats to do work while doing laundry.

    This is really my go-to spot when I go for my runs in Hermosa. It just hits every time and it always makes me look forward to the end of my run so I can swing by for my coffee. The workers are always welcoming and the place in general is so convenient. Parking can be a hit or miss, but nothing a short walk can't fix.

    A cute little café in Hermosa Beach! It's connected to the laundromat next-door, but there's no need to get laundry done if you just want to stop by and get a drink. There's meter parking that was pretty easy to get. The café itself is small, but it was pretty busy on a Saturday morning. Even though it was busy, I was greeted by a very friendly barista who made my drink really quickly. I ordered the good neighbor's choice latte with almond milk. It was so good! The cream top tastes like a really creamy, but subtly sweet ice cream. When mixed in with the rest of the drink, it's just a very lightly sweet but delicious and refreshing drink. I forgot to ask for light sweet, but this definitely didn't need it! Can't wait to come back and try more of their signature drinks.

    The cashier was very kind. I told her it was my first time and what she recommended; she said the Neighbors Choice or honey I'm green! She also said if I wanted it sweeter the Not My Mamas Banana Bread. I went with Neighbors Choice and it was so good! The ambience is nice, it's super cute inside! They have a few tables to sit and enjoy your coffee, definitely looking forward to coming back to try the other drinks!

    Hidden gem!! so good, the staff is really friendly and gave a few suggestions as it was our first time I ended up going with the banana signature matcha and we also got the neighbors matcha latte. super good and refreshing. House-made syrups were also really delicious

    Wow! Just wow! I did not expect this drink to be as good as it was but it's so freakin' good!!!! Service was phenomenal. The cashier was super friendly and you can tell just has an incredible personality, definitely like a good neighbor. Parking was not bad. I also went in the morning but I was able to find a parking nearby. I could definitely see parking being an issue depending on the time though. Would definitely recommend! Not My Mama's Banana Bread is seriously SO delicious! This is coming from someone who really doesn't like banana flavored anything.

    Iced Americano & Banana Bread Latte

    We heard good things about this cafe so decided to check it out. There is plenty of street parking during the weekday mornings. It has a cute aesthetic, but the seating is limited inside the cafe. Honestly it is right near the Strand so why not enjoy the beach! What makes this cafe unique is that it is connected to a laundromat so you can have a nice drink while doing your laundry. I ordered their Iced Americano which had a nice flavor - very smooth and had the right amount of ice. We also ordered the Banana Bread Latte. This drink was also very nice, but it could have had a bit more banana flavor. The staff is very friendly and willing to make suggestions when we asked. I am looking forward to going back and trying their tea lattes and spam musubi.

    banana latte and honey matcha

    Surprisingly great! Lots of metered street parking available, inside is a half cafe half laundromat so if you don't have an in unit come here! It's cute and the coffee is great. Service was good, they were very helpful when picking what to order. Banana Bread Latte is a must try. I'd happily come back.

    Honey, I'm Green with Espresso, and Not My Mama's Banana Bread with Matcha
    Tiffany C.

    Got the Honey, I'm Green with Espresso and the Not My Mama's Banana Bread with Matcha and they were both great! You can really taste the banana, cinnamon, and brown sugar in the Banana Matcha. Also thought the bee pollen was a nice addition to the honey latte. I do wish the jasmine flavor would be a little stronger, but the honey flavor was balanced. The girl who took our order was also super kind and helpful! LOVED the location and decor of the cafe. Super cute and lovely neighborhood addition :)

    My friends and I came here on a Saturday morning and we were blown away with how good the coffee was! I love how the options of lattes were very unique. I got the Not My Mama's Banana Bread - it was delicious! Perfect balance of banana flavor / coffee / milk. I added the house cold foam which is a must to add that extra creaminess! The banana was also tasty and didn't have that artificial taste. Only downside is the parking here. There's street parking but you do have to pay for parking. Definitely one of the best banana lattes that I've had!

    A new fav spot in the South Bay! Good Neighbor is a new coffee place in Hermosa Beach! Parking is kinda hard- I had to find street parking and pay with the meter, which is one of the downsides. I got the banana bread latte and it was delicious! It was super smooth and had the perfect sweetness. I would definitely come back!

    Nice addition to the neighborhood! The coffees are great, service is friendly & fast and it's the perfect location to grab a drink before walking along the S. Hermosa strand. Oh, and my dog loves the people watching.

    cabana latte
    Celine K.

    cute coffee shop with an area to sit next door. the cabana latte was really good, i liked the notes of caramel and the topping. the drinks come in 12 and 16 oz which is great if you don't like super milky lattes. parking is tough but it was worth it!

    The cabana latte is really good! It's probably one of the best drinks I've had, the coconut crumbs are chefs kiss

    I would see this place pop up on my social media quite a bit especially since they plan on…read moreexpanding and adding a new location..... sooooo I decided if I'm in Hermosa, let's go ahead and finally give it a go. 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 used to really enjoy the atmosphere, but over time things changed. Some employees started…read moretreating me poorly as a customer, and that didn't feel right. 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.
