We stopped by Bluestone Lane on the Fourth of July weekend, so we expected a long wait because the…read morecafé was packed. To our surprise, we were seated almost immediately at a clean table, even though we were with a child. The service was friendly, attentive, and everything came out much faster than we expected. The food looked just as good as it tasted. The smoked salmon and avocado toast was fresh and perfectly balanced, the spinach breakfast wrap was light but filling, and the yogurt bowl with fresh berries made a great addition to the meal. The coffee was excellent, and the iced matcha was refreshing on a warm day. The atmosphere is bright, relaxed, and perfect for a slow breakfast or brunch near the beach. Even with a full house, the staff stayed organized and never made us feel rushed. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Manhattan Beach.

Though the house salsa was delicious and added flavor, the huevos rancheros were still missing something. Burritos- hit Shrimp cocktail- especially with the house salsa-HIT Pancakes- HIT, tasted creamy, fluffy and caramelized.

I mean, why is their rating so low? If you sit on the patio, the views are great. I can imagine…read moremaybe they had an issue with poor service. That seems to be a bulk of their poor reviews. When I went, service was ok. They don't deserve such a low rating. I think Uncle Bills is better, but I understand why it's way more crowded. So come for the view, just don't be prepared to get your socks blown off by the food. It's passable, come for the view. So, I have a new rating system......I will be write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work."

Haven't been to this location in more than a year because they became sloppy with their hot latte…read more The girl baristas made bad coffee, and the customer service lacked luster. But I went in today at 5:10pm on a Sunday and Mauricio had a great personality + customer service + latte skills. He did not rush anything or anyone, just made a beautiful looking and great tasting drink! Ordered a hot nico, no half and half, substitute almond milk.

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.

The Hive is one of my go-to spots in Manhattan Beach. The food is super clean and healthy, but…read morestill filling--tons of great high-protein, well-balanced options that don't feel like you're sacrificing taste. The location is perfect too. You get that laid-back beach vibe with a great view, and it's ideal whether you're grabbing a quick bite before heading back to the sand for volleyball or settling in for a chill remote work session. It really feels like a local staple--easy, consistent, and exactly what you want when you're trying to eat well but still enjoy the whole Manhattan Beach lifestyle.

I had lunch at The Hive because highly recommended the "healthy-tasty food". I wasn't sure what to…read moreexpect, but my expectations were met! All the servers were warm and beyond the usual helpfulness. My friend saw an empty table they needed to be wiped so she asked a server for a towel to wipe it. He immediately said, "No, I'll do it." And he grabbed a towel and wiped in extra well with a smile. Two of us ordered the Buddha vegan bowl (9/10; quinoa was fluffy, tofu was tasty but a little firm for me, everything else about it was fresh and well-done. The mushroom serving was my favorite part.) My friend ordered the Beef Macro bowl (9/10: beef was the best part and everything else was good. The wild rice was tender; but it tastes "healthy"). My last friend ordered the salmon bowl (9/10: all of us raved about the salmon. Had the same wild rice. I liked it but my friend said it was too soft for her. The rest of the items that came with it were similar and tasty). Before I left, Molly helped me order a mushroom reishi hot chocolate drink. Molly was so sweet and helpful. She recommended the homemade almond milk. (8/10). The ambiance was warm and cozy. I loved the multi-level structure. Therefore, the name, "The Hive". Cute design and a good place to bring a computer and have a quiet spot to chill.

Le Pain Quotidien is the perfect place to start your morning before spending the day in Manhattan Beach. The atmosphere is relaxed, cozy, and exactly what you'd hope for on a sunny California weekend. The staff were incredibly friendly from the moment we walked in and made us feel welcome throughout the entire visit. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. The Eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked, the croissant sandwich was flaky and packed with flavor, and the ricotta toast with prosciutto and peaches was a combination I wasn't expecting to enjoy this much. Every dish looked beautiful and tasted just as good. But the real surprise was the Pistachio Latte. It was honestly one of the best specialty lattes I've had in a long time. I finished my first one during breakfast and liked it so much that I ordered another one to go before heading out to walk around Manhattan Beach. Great food, excellent coffee, friendly service, and an ideal location just minutes from the beach. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Manhattan Beach.

There isn't a lot of seating, but it's a clean and modern open space with coffee roasting machines on the side. Pricing is reasonably moderate for the freshness and high quality.
