Breakfast Sandwiches are delicious - highly recommend the Sausage Sunrise Sandwich :) Drinks are also good. My cousin likes the matcha but I'm more of a fan of their coffee.

The ship itself has four two top tables and some picnic dining outside, not a place to work / study at in my opinion. I ordered the seasonal banana dulce de leche latte at half sweetness (thanks to the barista for recommending they could adjust the syrup amounts) and it was a nice balance of flavor but still being coffee forward and not overly sweet. I would definitely recommend that drink if you enjoy banana flavors and will be back in the future.

This is a place to come and hang out, work, study, or people watch a bit. There's a few tables inside, and a handful outside. We had iced coffees with oatmilk and honey vanilla sweetener - a first for me. I didn't like the sound of lemon vanilla, but others seem to like it. Drink prices and portions seem to be on-par with comparable places like Offset and Butterfly. Baristas were a bit hands-off when we ordered and asked questions about the menu, but not dismissive. The shop was quiet, I don't even remember any music playing. Some whispers and light conversation. I would return if I had the urge for coffee and was already in the area.

The Boy & The Bear is a popular local coffee shop in Redondo Beach (just across from Eat at Joe's)…read morewith local customers often bringing their kids or dogs. Oddly enough their logo reminds me of the logo from Boba Guys. The shop was originally rebranded from The Fika Company and this Redondo Beach location is the flagship store. The Boy & The Bear places a strong emphasis on store design and each location is named after a different color as this one is called the Black Store. Currently, they have multiple locations in Los Angeles (Redondo Beach, Culver City, Westchester, Pasadena, Sherman Oaks, and Gardena) with new shops opening in South Pasadena (Summer 2026) and Little Italy in San Diego (Summer 2026). [Parking]: Metered parking on N Francisca Ave. Otherwise visitors will need to circle around for local street parking. [Atmosphere]: Spacious indoor seating (about five tables) and a bar table & 5-6 small outdoor bench tables and additional cozy outdoor seating. [Menu]: A straightforward coffee menu with only three syrup flavors: mocha, vanilla, and caramel. They also offer teas and various croissants. *** Vanilla latte (to-go & hot - $7.50): No latte art - just a simple hot vanilla latte. It was a solid latte with the right amount of sweetness. *** A nice coffee shop in the South Bay with a good first-date vibe and above-average drinks, but beware of the parking situation.

I'd been to the El Segundo location of Offset once before, a few years ago, and didn't love it, but…read moreI found the Manhattan Beach location to be considerably better. I don't quite remember when this location but I believe it's been here for less than a year. Since our first visit here, we've been here multiple times and I've enjoyed their flavored matcha drinks and coffees. There isn't much in the way of ambiance because there's only a tiny section of the store to stand in to order, and then you have to wait on the street to get your coffee. Service has always been friendly and quick. They also have a range of pastries available. I've liked the drinks on a number of occasions here, however when we visited last weekend, I got an unsweetened matcha latte that just tasted like almond milk. I would recommend visiting this place if you just want a grab and go coffee.

It's the kind of place that immediately feels welcoming and thoughtfully designed. I ordered their mocha latte and it was perfect. It had just the right amount of sweetness without being overpowering, and the coffee flavor was strong but not so strong that it makes you feel jittery or anxious. Everything was really well balanced and smooth. You can tell they care about the quality of their coffee. I definitely loved it and will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend stopping by if you're a coffee lover!

Regardless, I still keep going and will continue to because I love this city and the views are incredible! I've been to other Caffe Luxxe locations and this one has the same aesthetic, which I love. Staff are very friendly. There was a line but it went by fast. Parking on the weekend is hard to find, at least in my experience. During the week, it's much easier to find parking, especially if you go in the morning.

As a consistent customer of smoky hollow, I'm really disappointed with my recent visits to this…read morecoffee shop. The customer service has noticeably gone downhill. One of the employees in particular has been consistently unpleasant, making the experience feel unwelcoming the moment you walk in. Simple questions or requests are met with attitude instead of courtesy. From the long wait times to the employee taking a nap on the sofa, there has generally been a decline in the customer service in this establishment. On top of that, the quality of the drinks has declined. The espresso is clearly burnt and orders have been inconsistent, poorly made, and definitely not worth the price anymore. This used to be one of my favorite spots, but the combination of rude service and declining drink quality makes it hard to justify coming back. I hope management addresses these issues soon.

The manager said they ran out of bananas so the order was refunded. I told them I did not receive any refund/cancel notifications, and they respond with "yea we don't do that but we should put a system in place...". Seriously, WTF. This is a coffee shop in an office building. People don't have time to wait around for over 30 minutes for a drink and over an hour for their food. And how do you run out of bananas on a Monday at noon?!! This was not the first time you see the staff just sitting around. Get your shit together and don't waste our time.
