The BBL was sooo good!!! Definitely recommend getting that if you're wanting a sweet drink. Staff were super friendly and helpful, and service was quick! Would definitely come back:) read more

Came here on a weekday for an afternoon pick‑me‑up. Parking is street only and can be a little tricky. I think there's a parking structure nearby, but I'm not totally sure. I came with a few friends so we could try different drinks. The shop is cute and cozy, with moody California vibes. They have decorated skateboards hanging on the walls, which adds a fun, laid‑back touch. I ordered the classic matcha latte. The matcha had a nice, earthy umami flavor and wasn't overly sweet. Just a heads up, you have to ask for it to be sweetened, otherwise it comes unsweetened. The rest of the group ordered BBLs (LOL). Yes, $7 BBLs, not what you think! It stands for Brown Butter Latte, and it was definitely a crowd favorite. Rich, smooth, and very comforting. read more

My guest and I came in and ordered a latte and mocha respectively. The young man behind the counter was nice enough, but he specifically stressed whether or not we wanted it iced and or heated-to which both of us responded heated, please. Guess how the drinks came out? They didn't have ice, but they were far from heated-lol not to be fair, a line of humanity was forming behind us and there were a few others in front of us as well. Given the sheer volume this small place was about to be hit with, perhaps that played a role in terms of rushing the product? I'll go ahead and chalk this up to the laws of average thrown in with the fact that the product wasn't bad, it was just slightly above average. In some respects this sucks because I'm one of those who go out of their way to support the mom and pop, or non-traditional chains. No worries, I'll be back. It is what it is. read more

The iced matcha was meticulously crafted by the baristas and stimulated my senses. As I sipped, I awoke to the joy and peace within Manhattan Beach as I strolled into the morning. Strongly recommend this spot for a nice morning cup of your choice. read more

GOODBOYBOB was pretty Good We went on a Sunday morning so you know you get what you get in Manhattan Beach. We got there pretty early around 8AM (not so early) and there was a decent crowd waiting outside already. Its a grab and go situation here with 2 or 3 tables on the sidewalk, none on the inside, and a small space able to queue maybe 3 to generously 4 people inside the door. Names for orders are called by yelling (maybe?) from the inside to the outside. I say maybe because we didn't actually hear anything, just saw our order on the counter which looked like our order and checked. Service! simple, uneventful, the staff were nice, but busy so good I'd say. Ambiance! eh, just go walk down to the beach and decompress from the wait lol. Menu! They have your standard fare menu, but their seasonal specials definitely are the way to go for me. I don't want to come back but will probably come back to try their summer specials! We ordered the Icy Blue Flash Brew and the Blueberry Pie Matcha Latte. The Icy Blue Matcha (note: not the ordered flash brew...but didn't want to bother with the line and wait) was actually the favorite of the two drinks. It has a good sweet, milk, and tea rate. The Blueberry Pie Matcha was visually pretty but wildly and overwhelmingly sweet. Overall I probably wouldn't recommend you go out of your way to visit, but I'll probably be back in the summer to try their summer specials because I see the drink potential, and hope to get to try the coffee next time. read more

The plus side is the coffee is delicious. The down side is you may have to wait almost 30 minutes for your drink, like I did today. I got the BBL and it was the perfect texture and tasted great! But I was not expecting to wait that long for a coffee. It seems like iced drinks tend to come out way faster. They also have an order online option which may be the better way to go. Not sure if online orders are prioritized to be faster, but the wait time will probably keep me from coming back to this location if I'm being honest. Hopefully they can get some more machines or hire more baristas to make the wait go down a little. read more

Ordered: Iced Nilla Latte (~$7): iced latte with house made vanilla bean syrup Aya's take: Goodboybob is a specialty coffee roaster that is cool, minimalist, and most importantly -- has good coffee! The Iced Nilla Latte was a solid afternoon pick-me-up. The espresso was pulled properly, the vanilla was subtly sweet without masking the espresso, and every sip was velvety & smooth. All in all, well-made and a great try if you're looking for a coffee spot in Manhattan Beach! read more

Goodboybob was some pretty great coffee out near Redondo Beach. In the quest for my favorite coffee, I knew I had to check this place off the list and it didn't disappoint. If you're looking for good coffee you gotta check this place out. The staff was friendly and it's a small space, but you can quickly navigate the menu and their food options to find what you need. The pastries were solid, too. Wishing this place continued success, and definitely visiting again soon when I'm in the area. Good luck Goodboybob! read more

Yummy iced vanilla oat latte. Super small in the inside. The cashier was super friendly and I love the decor inside. Lots of people on a Saturday morning, but overall, the wait time wasn't horrible. Love how close it is to the beach!!! read more

When I used to work in Torrance, I would make the drive because they were the only local coffee shop open at 6am. I opted out of the larger coffee chains. My go-to drink was their espresso tonic with calamansi. I also tried their seasonal cranberry tonic. Their drinks are solid. The espresso wasn't acidic. They also sell baked goods, which look good. The service is always welcoming and quick. The shop itself is on the smaller side, and all the seating is outdoors. I wouldn't consider this cafe for studying or remote work. Regardless, their coffee is delicious, and the hospitality is good! read more

Amazing coffee- got the caramelized brown sugar one- I forgot the name. Perfect amount of coffee vs ice- cute little shop walking distance from beach. Only wish they did cream top on any drink and not just the matcha one read more

Visited on a Saturday around 11:00 am and while they were extremely busy, we probably waited about 5 minutes to order and another 10 for our orders to be made. Very reasonable! The inside is very small, so you order then wait on the sidewalk if they are crowded. I am a huge matcha fan and let's just say I'm going to be dreaming of their matchas every day until I get the chance to return to CA! I visited on my last day in CA and ordered two matchas because I couldn't possibly decide on just one. ZERO REGRETS! I ordered the seasonal blueberry pie matcha (with almond milk) and the signature yuzu matcha tonic. Omg both were incredible! The blueberry pie matcha was rich and decadent. It tasted exactly like blueberry pie, not just a matcha with blueberry puree. The yuzu matcha tonic was so light and refreshing, almost like a lemonade. Highly recommend for a hot day! Staff were super friendly, helpful, and patient. read more

Was psyched to stop by Goodboybob Coffee Roasters for a Flat White with (homemade) almond milk this morning... My SIL also had a Flat White (with whole milk) and we brought my husband a drip coffee. We didn't get any food with our drinks but the pastries and baked goods looked fresh and appealing. Service was friendly and fast and our drinks were great! This is a small little shop but they make great coffee, have some retail items available including coffee beans, cute key chains, and additional accessories. I will return! read more

Usually I'm not even one to post a review just because I know how yelp reviews can be a lot of the time...but I felt this warranted a review. My partner and I are pretty big coffee people, we both work in coffee. We have a setup at home and frequent places in our area to see what's good and what great coffee is out there, and we'd both worked in an MB coffee shop in the past and had heard so much about how good goodboybob is so we really were excited to try. We ordered the BBL (house made brown butter syrup latte) and the side show Bob (an espresso and a pourover). We were pretty disappointed with the quality of the shot and the pourover--both were incredibly under-extracted: the shot was sour and the pourover pretty much tasted like water. The BBL I can see folks liking if they like sweet drinks, but it was soooo sweet. Not really docking anything for that cause I know some people love their sweet drinks but it just didn't do anything for me. Mostly just disappointed that I paid about $20 for three items that didn't really reflect the quality we paid for. Not super impressed with them. Two stars just for sheer quality of product received. The staff were super nice and friendly but drinks were disappointing. read more

I highly this small coffee shop. It serves big flavor. Warm pastries, and a cozy, welcoming vibe, it's the perfect spot to recharge, chat, or just savor a really great cup of coffee, or matcha drink. read more

Some of the best coffee I've had in a while. It's high quality and made carefully. It's small and they have lines going out the door but it's worth it. The service is great, the inside is very cute and they sell adorable stickers and greeting cards. Dog friendly and a lot of parking nearby! Check it out! read more

Super hidden coffee shop in alleyways and with their own parking lot. Seating indoors and outdoors. + Guava Matcha Latte ($7; half sweet): Matcha very light, milk also light, strong tart guava flavor and subtlety sweet. Too watery, needs to be full sweet (6/10) + Rolex Burrito ($10 + $2 avocado): delicious, crunchy carrots, roots, slaw, with egg scramble, creamy avocado. Mild green sauce was sweet and not really spicy. Tortilla had nice grill, and chewy texture (8/10) read more

Popular coffee shop with matcha and pastry options. Stopped by here with a friend as they were doing a popup collab with a perfume brand, and we wanted to grab some caffeine while we were waiting for our table for brunch. I had a hot matcha latte which was smooth and sweetened with honey. You have to wait outside while your order is being made, as the shop is quite small. Metered street parking available. You can pay via ApplePay / credit card. read more

I usually get an iced BBL latte, and every time I get it, it's always so good. Very consistent with the flavors and ratios of everything. It is a really small establishment and parking is tough, but I tend to go around 11, so it's usually not as packed compared to early mornings. read more

Went here two days in a row because I needed to try the weekend cinnamon roll and regretted not getting it the first time around. The cinnamon roll looks better than it tastes.. but it does look exceptional so the standards are high. It didn't have much cinnamon flavor other than the frosting, mostly just bread. It wasn't bad but wasn't amazing. The coffee is good but a little bitter, depends on your taste. I got a cold brew with vanilla and it was quite sweet so I'd recommend getting it half sweet if you don't like it super sweet. I liked the coffee and the vibe of the shop, plus a great place to walk to when in Manhattan Beach. read more

I ordered a brown butter latte (a seasonal drink) ! The coffee was smooth & it was perfectly sweetened. The description said it had real butter in the drink, so it kind of solidified after a while at which was a little odd. I would definitely order this again, maybe hot next time! We parked further up the street. There's free parking during the holidays which was nice! The worker was also helpful in offering recommendations. read more

Manhattan Beach is such a lovely haven and located here is this awesome little coffee shop. After a quick run at the beach, I Yelped for a local coffee shop nearby and found this place. Luckily enough, they had matcha. There's no seating inside but there's some outside. I ordered an iced matcha with vanilla and was ready quicker than I thought. Though it was not prepared with the traditional teaware (chawan and chasen), I was surprised with how much of the bitterness of the matcha I could taste. It's not the best matcha I've had but compared to others I've had in LA, it's decent. read more

GBB COFFEE ROASTERS (est 2021) is cute lil modern coffee shop that offers coffee and tea, pastries and breakfast items. It's located in the heart of Manhattan Beach (the corner of Highland ave and 13th street) gives surfers and beach visitors the ideal coffee kick just steps from the pier. They have locations in Santa Monica and Culver City. I came to grab a Flash brewed iced coffee. It was perfect thirst quencher. Staff were great, as well as their service. Some drink and food items were a bit pricey. Overall, I had a good order experience and enjoyed their iced coffee. read more

came here to try the blueberry pie matcha but to be honest it wasn't my favorite. the cinnamon didn't balance well with the blueberry and matcha. we also tried their regular matcha which was okay but again not the best. Would be back to try their coffee since i've heard good things and the pastries look delicious too. Service was nice, not much space inside definitely grab and go to take down to the beach! read more

We genuinely drove from Orange County to this place to visit Manhattan and have a solid beach day and enjoy the breakfast burrito. Low and behold, they do not serve the breakfast burrito at this location and I was genuinely so disappointed because we brought friends to try their burrito since it was one of the best burritos I have ever had in my life. They have breakfast options but like half the menu from their Santa Monica location. Was a big let down and huge bummer. However, my wife pointed out that they have a cosmic Ube drink that saved the day because my wife and I love a good Ube and Matcha Latte. Well, to our luck and the food gods, we were able to get both and the Ube Matcha was honestly very good. The Ube was the perfect amount and matcha was not over powering. Great flavor and sweetness that was not overbearing. I would definitely recommend getting their Ube Matcha with whole milk and give it mix and great option. Again, not a place I would recommend for breakfast food as they really only have like 3-5 options, but a good range of drinks and coffee offerings. read more

Coffee's good but staff can be a little more friendly. When they take your order its like they just want it rushed nd over with. I bought 2 coffees, beans and came back within 5 minutes to purchase another drink and every single time the cashier just looked like I was bothering him They also served my coffee in a cup without a logo but everyone else before me and after me had it? I was going to share it in socials too to promote them then I realized that. read more

I actually was not a big fan of my drink (blueberry fizz with espresso) it tasted slightly sour and I felt like the blueberry, tonic water and coffee just did not go well together. We also tried the same drink with matcha and that was alright. However I tried my friends drink (s'mores latte) and it was delicious. Definitely would go for a latte instead next time. The drinks were on the pricier side $7-8.50 for our drinks. Workers were super sweet and gave us their advice on what to order. Service is fast drinks came out immediately. I loved that it's next to the library so we were able to grab a drink and study after. read more

Service was friendly, Vanilla latte & Chai both 8.5/10. Stand outside to wait for name to be called. Finding parking by the beach is anxiety inducing for me, so I definitely wouldn't come back bc its on a busy street ;( read more

Fun little spot to grab something in a rush as there is not seating inside. I tried their standard latte and a croissant sandwich. They had so many staff behind the counter but were really inattentive because they were so busy! So it does seem like a popular place. The latte was good. The sandwich was really greasy so I don't think I would get that again. I would lean into one of the pastries instead. read more

Only front of shop outdoor seating (2 tables and benches) but great little spot for ceremonial matcha, seasonal lattes, and incredible pastries and sandwiches. The pastries look amazing but there are on the higher price point ~$7, the croissant sandwiches looked really big and around ~$10 so not too bad for around this area! Blueberry coffee cake I'm coming for you next time. Service was friendly and I enjoy how you can see them making the drinks. They take their time on making them so you know it's not a rushed job! The milk texture was perfect. read more
