I say this as a coffee fanatic - This is the best latte ive ever had. The flavor, the freshness, the consistency; unmatched. Every latte is made by hand, poured fresh, and they wont pour the shot into the milk (for iced) or pour the milk into the shot (for hot), unless you are there ready to recieve it, ensuring the final product is as fresh as it can be. Nothing sits, everything is done to ensure the highest quality finished product. Side note, I am a Celiac and they have Gluten Free blueberry muffins that are an oat/almond base. The wife in the husband/wife duo that runs this excellent establishment grinds the oats for the flour and mixes the quantities by hand for each batch. You can absolutely taste the care they put into these muffins. They are small, but fantastic. No one asked me for this review. This coffee is the best in the South Bay, maybe LA. Period. read more

This is a lovely cafe off of Aviation in Redondo Beach. It's great for sitting down for a morning latte. I have come here to enjoy coffee with my husband and a few other times to sit down and read after a walk. Parking can be challenging at times and it doesn't look like much from outside, but it's very cozy and nice inside. I really loved coming here while we were in Redondo Beach. Highly recommend! read more

Pursue Coffee is a family run neighborhood coffee shop. They have so much heart and soul. You can feel it in every sip and each delicious bite. The house espresso is roasted by Four Barrel out of San Francisco. The espresso blend rotates seasonally, along with a featured single origin. The baked goods are homemade with gluten-free options. The Basque cheesecake is one of the BEST in the US. (They just added chocolate and macha flavors!) Avocado Toast and Egg salad toast are staples. Each visit brings me joy. There is a loyal following of regulars. Note: The parking lot can be a challenge. There is plenty of street parking on side streets. read more

The best hot chai latte I've had in a while. It was easy to order on their iPad and choose how my milk and flavoring. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. The parking lot is tiny but I parked across the street and crossed at the light. read more

Whenever I'm on this side of town, I make an effort to go to Pursue Coffee. On this day, I wanted to have coffee and a treat, and get some work done. There were a few spots available when I went in. I love their huge wooden table that looks like it was sliced from a log. As usual, I asked the server what their favorite thing to eat is and they recommended the blueberry scone so I went for it - it did not disappoint. I am always a little bit nervous with scones because sometimes they can feel super heavy. This one has a great proportion of berries to scone and was delicious. The flat white was beautiful, and I made it to my table without spilling it. Their drinks are served perfectly temperature and perfect flavor! The drink is smooth which I like compared to some coffee shops where the bitter coffee bites. I can't wait till my next visit and to try something new! read more

Pursue is one of my favorite coffee shops in Los Angeles. I am a total coffee snob and the vanilla lattes here knock my socks off. Both the iced and the hot just taste so good because the espresso is so creamy and flavorful. Also love love love their egg salad toast. To die for. read more

I stopped by one Tuesday morning after hearing so many good things about this place! It's a small, cozy and inviting Korean-owned cafe. I got their hot vanilla latte with oat milk. They use real vanilla beans in their vanilla latte and you can taste the difference! I normally don't love lattes but this one was amazing! I loved how light and perfectly balanced it was--not too sweet and not too milky with beautiful latte art on top. This is my new favorite vanilla latte in the South Bay! They also had some fresh pastries in their display that I didn't get but would love to try next time. Service was awesome too. The owner was super friendly and warm! I will definitely be back! Parking: free in small lot in front. read more

Was in the area for work and knew I was about to spend an hour + commuting back to the Valley. Decided to come here because of their Homemade Chai. And so happy I did! I ended up getting the Chai, Vanilla Latte, and a butter biscuit. Everything was delicious! The Chai was intentionally prepared. It has the perfect balance of spice and sweetness. The biscuit was such a yummy treat while stuck in traffic. Crumbly, buttery, & sooo satisfying. Service is friendly. If I'm not mistaken its seems to be a husband and wife duo, and they are so sweet! Feels good to support a family own and ran business. The space is perfect if you have to do some computer work, or catch up with a friend. A very easy laidback vibe. Definitely worth a visit! read more

This coffee shop is such a precious find. It's small and cozy, and seems to be run by a family. They have quality coffee, probably one of the best coffees I've had in South Bay. If I lived closer, I would probably go all the time. Can't wait to be back when I'm in the area. read more

This place is something special. You can feel how intentional everything is from the sourcing of the beans to the way each flavor is brought out so thoughtfully in every cup. There's a real sense of care, passion, and pride behind what they do, and it shows. Honestly, it awakened a deeper love of coffee for me. Not just something to drink, but something to experience. read more

Visited from out of town and will definitely find excuses to be back. I recommend the Vanilla latte for those who like sweeter drinks but still a strong taste of coffee 10/10. And I had the specialty drip coffee which was also pretty good! I like to judge a place by their black coffee and I'd give it a 9/10, I could tell they really care about their craft! I just wish it was a little stronger but that's personal preference. Great beans, great service. The ambiance was nice and welcoming. read more

I've been here several times and it's a great local coffee shop. The lattes are delicious and the service is always so friendly

Last week, I ordered an heirloom mocha & one sip just sent me waves of pleasure. I can distinctly taste the richness of each ingredients: the coffee, the chocolate, & my choice of Almond milk. This new ratio of ingredients brought this whole new flavor to incomparable richness of mocha anywhere in the South Bay, possibly in the whole world, making all other mocha too sugary and diluted to taste. The creator, David, said he changed the ratio of ingredients in many drinks! Oh David, you sure poured your heart out on this one!!! Thank you and Sujen for making all your recipes incomparably tasty and always a surprise to our palate!!! read more

So happy I got to try this coffee shop! It's adorable!!! It has inside seating where you can enjoy your coffee or use your laptop. David was very sweet and helpful while ordering. His suggestions were helpful. It was a much-needed impromptu coffee stop after the gym. Ordered vanilla latte with the almond butter banana toast. Everything was excellent! Can't wait to come back! Thanks, David! read more

We discovered this cute coffee place a few years ago and absolutely had fallen in love with vibe, the owners who were kind and friendly and the exceptional coffee and unfortunately forgot the name of the place. So happy to have found this place again. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place. One of the signs of a good coffee shop is consistency, and this place nails it every time. I'm not a latte person typically because a lot of places put too much milk and you can't taste the coffee, that is not the case at Pursue. The service is always great and everyone is extremely friendly and kind. Couldn't recommend enough to coffee lovers. read more

I found this cute little cafe while walking around the neighborhood. I ordered a latte while my fiance ordered an americano - both were very much on par with our coffee preference! The owner was very friendly and made sure the coffee he made tasted perfect for us. His warm welcome made our morning coffee experience even sweeter! I definitely would love to come back for other coffees on the menu! read more

A small family owned business that bestows a cozy, welcoming space to settle into. The genuine, kind smiles and hospitable voices upon greeting are humbling and heart felt. And with every sip of one's drink, you can tell they carefully craft it with care. The quality is utterly outstanding. read more

I've been a Pursue regular for about 3 years now. I first discovered this hidden gem when I was studying for a grad school exam and needed some quality caffeine. Needless to say, Pursue did not disappoint, and has only gotten better over the past few years. Pursue's success largely exists because everyone at Pursue knows coffee. And I don't mean "know" as in they know different coffee drinks and can recommend a drink. I mean "know" as in understands the chemistry of extracting flavor from quality coffee beans. Every cup, whether it be espresso-based, small batch drip, or pour over, is brewed with years of knowledge and genuine pride in producing the best product possible. Beyond coffee, Pursue offers an exceptional selection of pastries, toasts, teas, and desserts, all crafted with the same pride as their coffee is. It's truly a one-stop shop for a great way to improve your day: every single menu item is a slam dunk. In summary, Pursue is not your average small coffee shop. Rather, it is a community of passionate, kind, and talented people absolutely dedicated to providing the best possible experience. In a world where quality is being systematically deemphasized, Pursue serves repeatable perfection. To the fine folks at Pursue, thank you for all you do. You've earned a lifelong customer and friend. read more

Really great little coffee shop. Everything is made with care and attention to detail. The scone was amazing. I love the vanilla bean latte and their cold coffee. My daughter loves their hot chocolate. We will definitely return every time we are in the area. read more

I really love this coffee spot IF you can get the parking! Tiny parking lot on a terrifying corner means it's not for the faint of heart haha BUT if you make it in the drip coffee, vanilla latte and the avocado toast with perfect egg are delicious. The service is always impeccable too, they really care about their coffee and the owners are so polite. 10/10 read more

Came in for a midday coffee break with my coworkers and the staff greeted us right away when we walked in. They seemed really busy with orders but were still very welcoming. There were many different drink and pastry options that we had a hard time choosing. I ended up getting an iced matcha latte - regular unsweetened. I appreciated that they had sweetness level and different dairy options! The casual space is super cute for catch ups over coffee, or even a space to do work. It isn't super loud here and there's a small parking lot in front. read more

Coffee Crawl Today! After having a classic Italian experience earlier, we decided to try Pursue seeing that they serve Four Barrel Coffee. The test for any shop is how well they can pull espresso shots. Anyone can use bad roasted beans and bad extractions and make lattes as the espresso gets lost in all that milk. Service is a bit on the slower side, but we are willing to wait for a correctly pulled shot. The single origin espresso was pulled well offering a juicy, sweet espresso with no bitter or burnt aftertaste. The vibe and ambiance is nice a chill as this seems to be a neighborhood shop catering to those living around here. We felt comfortable sitting and sipping our espresso in this quaint little shop and so will you! read more

Pursue Coffee - S.O Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

This place makes the best dirty chai latte and avocado toast in the South Bay (which is saying a lot as there are many other places making good ones). Everything is made to order and takes a little time, which gives the whole experience a relaxing framework in which to enjoy your order. The chai is very spicy without being overly sweet, and the pickled onions and micro greens on the avocado toast are a nice touch. It's served with a perfectly done egg. Come when you have a little time to spare and you won't regret! read more

I've been meaning to try Pursue Coffee for a while, especially having passed by it on my way to work. Finally stopped by and got the signature vanilla latte (with oat milk). The barista (owner?) was really nice and courteous and I could tell he takes the time to make each customer's drink with precision and care. My vanilla latte had a lovely scent and full-bodied flavor, but I admit, the oat milk watered down the overall taste (not the fault of the barista, but rather of my milk choice). Overall, decent little cafe for a solid cup of coffee: definitely support this local business! read more

Local Starbucks has closed (RIP), so gave this spot a try. The vanilla bean latte was absolutely fantastic. Strong AF and tasty!

They do coffee right here. Everything tastes dialed in and their affogato is a must. They've elevated my standard of what coffee truly can be. read more

Pursue Coffee is the essence of a neighborhood shop; warm, inviting, and serving exceptionally delicious coffee & breakfast. The atmosphere is this shop is fostered by their owner David, who really cares about people and coffee. Their water kettle is perpetually set at the exact temperature needed for pour overs, and these cups end up tasting better than what the roasters could have hoped for. They also do all their baking in house and the food delicious. This is obviously extremely rare, and another example of just how different this shop is. If you want a great, local experience, go to Pursue Coffee! read more

The service is always so nice here. The ambience is nice too. Very limited parking, like 4-5 spaces. The matcha is not good. It looks perfectly green but it tasted like milk. I got it without sweetener it tasted chalky and grimey and it kept clumping up in the drink showing it wasn't mixed well enough. The flavor of it was dull and the taste itself just tasted like cheap/bad matcha. I love matcha and drink it often and this place is close by so it's unfortunate that I can't get matcha here again. The vanilla bean iced coffee is good but the flavor itself is mild and it doesn't taste a bit on the milkier side. read more

The coffee was excellent. I'm generally quite a coffee snob and appreciate quality espresso and a barista who knows what they're doing and cares equally about the quality of the coffee they serve. It's clear the folks here care about the quality of their coffee. A great little find while visiting the neighbourhood! I'll definitely be back. read more

Quaint cafe to stop by where you can study, read and relax with baked goods and hot tea/coffee or iced as well. The owners are so polite and desire to make your time there pleasant. They have been around for 6 years and I hope we can keep this gem around. I had their London Fog and as mentioned, it was "good". Baked banana bread warmed up had a wonderful, home made taste. The location is off the street, if it gets busy, someone will leave soon enough for you to park. read more

First time coming here and was greeted by the friendly gentleman (I think he is the owner?), I didn't get his name but I ordered the chai latte...he made it so perfectly! It was so delicious and I love how they use eco-friendly material. I did take a look at their yummy pastries...my mind and heart were telling me yesss but my waist line was telling me noooo... But don't be like my waist line, go for it! I will be back to try more of their beverages though! The cafe has some small tables inside and a few outside. There's parking available as well, but plenty of street parking, so don't get discouraged if all the spots are full. read more

Pursue Coffee - Mocha and Avocado Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I recently had a chance to stop by this coffee shop with a solid 5-star average Yelp rating. At first I want to keep my expectations low, but I was amazed by how good the drink I actually had. [Parking]: Small and tight parking spots, but they are free. [Atmosphere]: The atmosphere of the café felt more homey than cute and the barista behind the counter was pretty efficient. [Menu]: The menu is pretty straightforward, focusing on espresso-based drinks, drip art, tea, and tea lattes. Their specialty lattes include vanilla bean latte, heirloom mocha, house chai latte, matcha latte, London fog, and affogato. In addition, they offer a selection of baked goods such as homemade banana bread, croissants, and cheesecake. *** Vanilla Bean Latte (house vanilla flavor made with A-grade Tahitian vanilla beans & unrefined organic cane sugar + signature espresso - $6.50): There's something special about a drink that has the perfect balance of sweetness and just let the aroma speaks for itself. This cup of latte was absolutely amazing - just slightly sweet and the aroma and smoothness hit all the right notes. *** That was one darn good cup of vanilla bean latte and I find myself possibly revisit this place more frequently whenever I happen to be in this part of town. read more

Wow. When I arrived for the first time, I saw how quiet this coffee spot was and off the beaten path, and I almost didn't go inside. I was looking for a different vibe to write, but went in anyway. Yesterday was my first time here, and I will definitely be returning. I sat in quietude for about an hour and a half and wrote. The food was actually pretty good. So was the tea, and I'm not the biggest tea fan. I had a turkey and avocado "grilled cheese" sandwich. Other than a little too much arugula that I took off, it was surprisingly yum. I'm a pretty hard judge of food. Most coffee shop food is not good, decent and edible at best. But this sandwich was warm, not overly toasted or crumbly, and flavorful. With it, I also enjoyed ginger turmeric tea. I'm trying to reduce my coffee intake. I was skeptical, but oh boy! The tea was not just water from a tea bag; it was a little thick, somewhat creamy in consistency and sweet. SCORE! I couldn't stop thinking about that tea, and the heavenly ginger turmeric flavor was in my head the rest of the day. I could definitely see myself stopping by here sometimes just to pick up a tasty drink while running errands on that side of the South Bay, which is what I noticed other customers doing. Finally, David must be the owner, and he is so nice, humble, and attentive. They've definitely got a new fan in me. read more
