Best cappuccino in the South Bay. Old school style with a mountain of froth. No fancy latte art, no hearts. Just espresso, steamed milk, and pure goodness. read more

Java Man - Old school style with a mountain of froth. No fancy art here. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Yup! Stopped by on a whim as there was enough of a crowd to look exciting in the AM, but not too crowded to deter me. I make pretty good coffee at home now, so it's getting harder to satisfy my coffee tastebuds on-the-go. What a cute space. The interior was 1/3 filled with folks working remote or studying. Plenty of comfortable seating inside, quiet enough to work or study, or read. The service was friendly and PROMPT. I barely sat down and my iced vanilla latte was ready at the counter :) And I must say, it was pretty satisfactory! I will stop by again. The last thing anyone wants is to try a new coffee place and be disappointed after spending almost $10 nowadays. They also appear to make breakfast items like burritos and such. I didn't try any of the food items yet. Parking: nearby street parking with time pay meters. read more

A longtime Hermosa Beach establishment and popular with everyone from little leaguers to retirees. I personally love the casual and non-prissy vibes of the coffee, food, and seating. I recently enjoyed a large black coffee and fresh, sugared donut on a warm outdoor bench. Perfect. read more

Friendly staff, good coffee and pastries. A Hermosa morning staple... Service is fast, the people that work there are great and they have morning pick me ups that people need. We've been twice... Both times we were spending the weekend on The Strand so that walk up to Java Man was needed. They have a few small tables outside and some benches closer to the sidewalk. The lady likes to get her morning coffee here and I like my crumb cake. Recently, we stopped in before the beach and she got an iced latte ($5.75) and a hefty sized rice krispie treat ($4.50) They're located on Pier Ave just up the hill from Hermosa Pier. They're closed by 3pm. read more

Came by to use the gift card a friend gave me for this place awhile ago. Cute local coffee shop. Owners were warm and welcoming. The coffee choices were plentiful, the burrito decently tasting/priced and both pastry items were delicious! Would definitely come back read more

Love the coffee and the owner and baristas are awesome but allowing big dogs inside is unsanitary and shouldn't be allowed. There are posted signs saying no dogs but are ignored. read more

Ordered a cold white chocolate oat milk double shot latte. It's okay. I don't have much to say about it, as it was very typical. Only pleasant thing was that it wasn't watery or too milky. It came out to about $9 a coffee which is pretty high in my opinion, given the presentation and taste. I was debating on getting a breakfast burrito as it said it was $6 (crazy how a burrito is cheaper than a latte nowadays..), but now that I've read the reviews for the burrito, I'm not sure I'll bother. read more

I love this place I go every weekend. I love the service,coffee,and food. Always welcomed with a great good morning makes you feel special.

Love this place, but it is definitely not beachside. Particularly excellent baked goods and breakfast burritos.

Great coffee. Can't believe it took me a while to discover this place. From the second I entered, service was friendly and fast for a place that seemed busy. Ordered a simple iced vanilla latte and it was delicious. Place was cozy as well and was able to enjoy my studying while sipping on my drink. Can't wait to go back here read more

I was a bit surprised at paying over 4.00 for regular brewed coffee. And even more surprised that they close at 3:00 pm. On the bright side, they do have a fair amount of indoor seating and a few spots outside. read more

This is based solely on the breakfast burrito ($5). It was primarily egg and tasted like a frozen burrito they put in the microwave. This makes sense since it took 3 mins between order being placed and getting the burrito. Recommend getting a pastry instead but if you're craving a burrito, this will be a let down. read more

This place was lovely for studying. Lovely choice of menu, locally owned. I want to try all of the drinks and all of the yummy looking pastries. However, the homemade breakfast burrito was only $6, which is unheard of in this area! It did need a bit more seasoning but I also came with fresh salsa and there was plenty of fixings available. Pros: Big, lots of table space and outlets. Good for studying. Extensive menu, good prices Jovial service :) Host local improv events. Cons: lots of signage and request for dogs only allowed outside, (they have water bowls for them and ample seating but just be aware not to try to bring pup inside), fans instead of air conditioning. read more

Busy coffee shop, yet there were plenty of seats inside & outside to relax & enjoy a good cup of drip coffee, a delicious latte or a very tasty lemon bar. Service was friendly & quick. Sorry, phone died before I got a pic of the delicious lemon bar & the smooth tasting coffee. I will be going back read more

This place is such a chill vibe. All men running this place. They're efficient, friendly, and accommodating. The menu has pretty much anything you want. Seating inside and out. Match folks, they have us covered. And it's unsweetened. read more

This is a perfect coffee shop if you want to sit, relax or do some work! Nested only a few blocks away from the beach but in a relatively quieter area, the location is a perfect combo of convenience and peace. I came on a Sunday late morning, ordered a whole wheat bagel served with cream cheese with an iced coffee and sat down doing some work for a good 1.5 hours. Half of the seats were empty with the majority of customers lining up for to go orders. The food and drink were delicious, and the whole atmosphere was a perfect substitute for Starbucks across PCH. They also offer FREE WiFi which is a must for any remote work. read more

Love the Coffee shop! The staff is super friendly and service is fast. Their coffees are delicious and their Espresso drinks are top notch. Plenty of seating and outdoor seating too. The ambiance feels cozy Definitely the best coffee in Hermosa Beach. read more

Came here on a relaxed Sunday stroll. Java man is like coming into someone's house library to participate in a book club. There's not much space in the front so you have to kind of squeeze in to see the menu and bakery items. The chalkboard menu is a bit assaulting to the eyes so if it's your first time, you may want to spend a few moments to familiarize yourself. I just ordered a talk cappuccino and they made it very quickly even though there were more than a few orders at that time. The interior provides several large wooden tables for chilling out, or reading newspapers or magazines. The tall Cap was smooth and easy. Definitely would come back here. read more

Really wanted to like Java Man, but it fell short. Ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and it was not good. I would not get again :( I also got a honey lavender latte which was good! I would get this again. The place has ample seating inside and outside, and the workers are very kind. Parking was easy to find on this Saturday morning. Willing to come back, but probably still to the pastries and not the burritos. read more

Great coffee shop! They have amazing food, coffee, & tea! I've gone here the past three days for breakfast and a Matcha latte. I ordered the egg white turkey breakfast burrito which is so good and comes with a side of salsa. The burrito itself is very simple but I love the taste. I've also ordered a low fat boysenberry muffin and it was heated. Parking has never been a problem. I just park in the 15 minute spot to the left of the business. The have a bathroom inside as well. Prices are reasonable. If you are able to sit and hang out, they have a cute area inside the coffee shop with couches and tables where you could work or just sit, relax and drink your coffee. The staff is always friendly, helpful and quick! read more

Looking for a coffee shop on a Friday morning, I wandered into Java Man. The pastry selection was so tempting, but the Coconut Pineapple Coffee Cake grabbed my attention. I got that and a chorizo breakfast burrito. The breakfast burrito came with a cup of salsa and was light and delicious, but it wasn't as packed as the breakfast burritos I'm used to having. Most of its flavor had to come from the salsa. The Coconut Pineapple Coffee Cake has a crunchy crumble topping and the cake is very soft. It literally tastes like eating a Piña Colada! I will be back to try more breakfast decadence. read more

Excellent coffee, amazing work space. Good people. The service was amazing. Need to get work done this is the place.

I had to do some work from home on a Wednesday so I decided to come Java Man. There are a lot of chairs and tables. I think I got the best area. I was very comfortable and I was able to do some work. Coffee and pastry was delicious. I was in heaven. read more

The coffee was not good (in my opinion). Maybe I got the wrong thing but I did not enjoy it. HOWEVER this place had a long line and it went fast, so kudos to that. Their menu is pretty big. They have breakfast, pastries, bagels, burritos, sweets and all kinds of coffee drinks. I was in the mood to leave my bubble of what I know and today was not the day to do so. I ordered a white chocolate truffle raspberry latte with almond milk and all I could taste was the raspberry syrup (which was thick and cough syrup like consistency). Also the price point wasn't on my side...$7 for a latte that didn't get me hyped wasn't a plus. Over all- cute local SMALL coffee shop feel inside, there isn't much space outside. This is more like a "get in, get out" stop. There's so many spots condensed in this area, I probably wouldn't come back and venture elsewhere. read more

Java Man - Eat drink and enjoy. Coffee and a pineapple scone. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Where to begin?! Java man is a proper institution in Hermosa. Great coffee, food, vibes, you name it. But the reason I'm writing this is because javaman, namely the employees on 7/5/25, just literally saved my ass. I lost my work phone outside of the shop (classic Fourth of July blunder, judge me for it) and had essentially given up hope of retrieving it. Just then, like an actual superhero, I got a call from the shop. They had my phone, reached out to me, kept it properly safe, and returned it without making me feel like the absolute idiot I am. Im typing this from the returned phone, first thing once I got it back. Java man deserves your patronage for being awesome in general, an outstanding pillar of the local community, and also delicious on the micro-level. Thank you, thank you, and also thank you. read more

Love this local coffee spot. Great location with excellent coffee and equally excellent pastries. What I love most is the passion they put behind their product and the level of customer service. Happiness is contagious and the staff here is dishing out happiness in a cup. A good selection of gluten free options are available and all are tasty. Great spot before or after a morning walk/run. read more
