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.

The Honey Buzz was super delicious and smooth! I really enjoyed it and would repurchase again…read more I love Manhattan Beach but I definitely have a love/ hate relationship - sometimes parking can be a pain, especially on the weekend and/ or when I just want to pop in places and pop out. 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.

I had parked in the parking structure underneath so this was so convenient and we have one close to us in Long Beach so I knew they know how to malke good coffe drinks!

Verve is a cold coffee spot located in Manhattan Beach. Super nice area plenty of parking and…read morethere's a lot of shops around but it was pretty quiet. Nice chill vibe to it. The service was good and the hot chocolate came out pretty fast and my friend drinks also came out pretty fast. So I'm not a big coffee person, but I got their hot chocolate and it was cool. I'd like that I had a little whipped cream flour on top of it. The presentation of it was awesome as far as the hot chocolate itself. It was OK. It's not the best hot chocolate I've had good flavor, good consistency, but it could've had something more. I'm not exactly what the more could've been but it was OK.

COME HERE IF YOU LOVE SPECIALTY COFFEE…read more DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU LOOK FOR: PRETTY LOOKING/LAYERED SUGAR BOMB DRINKS (nothing wrong with that though! Just wanting to help with expectations if you've never been here.) This place serves purely traditional coffee. I'm new to living in this area in LA (I come from Orange County) and have been trying to visit the coffee shops out here. So far, this is THE BEST from what I've tried so far in terms of specialty coffee. (I don't have a long list that I've visited yet) It's quite refreshing actually, to see a coffee shop that's PURELY specialty coffee. No frills or thrills, just traditional basics done well. Decor is great. I tried the emerald series espresso as a flat white (two of them) which is marketed as rare and exotic. I didn't want to read much too much into it at the moment. I was just wanting my caffeine fix. Both together came out to around $17 (oof!) They at least handed us 2 oz samples of coffee. Presentation of the drinks were done well. You can tell that they really care about the craft because we were waiting unnecessarily long on a slow day. I over heard a 'How did that pull?' while waiting. I appreciate the care.

A friend invited us here for a Sunday breakfast, and I'm really glad we finally had a chance to…read morevisit. 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.

You'll find some (rather skinny) breakfast burritos and pastries, too. I love a good Nutella Latte, so I had to try it. Not sure I tasted a strong hazelnut flavor, but I did enjoy my drink. My date had the Tiramisu Cold Brew, which he unfortunately did not enjoy. We took it home and propped it up with some oatmilk - but the cold brew taste just didn't seem to jive well with the tiramisu flavor. Prices are on the higher end, but comparable to other places in Manhattan, Redondo or Torrance. Service was pleasant and efficient. Though a line formed behind us, it moved quite quickly. Reborn is in the same area as Joey's, Alo, California Pizza Kitchen, Saint & Second, and some retailers. Free parking is available not far from the location, though it can get busy during peak weekend hours so plan accordingly.

Very unique experience with this being an omakase of coffee…read more Located in the house of the host, reservations are required; there's only 8 seats so it's a pretty cozy environment. The coffee was great and I learned a lot about different pours, coffee beans, etc. One thing I would of liked was more types of coffee as only 4 small pours were part of the experience.

What a fantastic and unique opportunity this was!…read more Tangible Gratitude is a coffee omakase experience that will ask you to not only taste different coffee approaches but also be a social experiment of sorts the minute you step into Victor's living room area. Reservations are tough to get with the limited seats (maximum of 8) - would suggest subscribing to their newsletter on their site as well as following their Instagram. When I finally did get to go, I followed the instructions and was able to easily get to the meeting area. Coming in, Victor greeted everyone personally, and we would choose our seats. This is a pretty intimate experience, so do expect to meet someone new, especially if you're going on your own. Victor also asks for dietary restrictions as well and is super accommodating. The entire experience for us took a little over 2 hours. Victor was there from start to end to guide the experience and was super informative about what processes were used and really making the experience one for all the senses from touch to smell to sight. Some processes were familiar, but a lot was new and learned so much both from Victor and the other participants as well. Loved seeing the different varieties of techniques utilized and the set-up as well which was very zen and Japanese-inspired. I also loved how we were not only told about where each coffee was from but also highlighting a local coffee location as well in LA. We even got a free small sample of beans to take home. I'm also super grateful to Victor for accommodating me months later after I was hospitalized. Super appreciative and was wonderful to chat through this. Thankful to Victor for the amazing hospitality and experience. Would totally come back!

Also, don't automatically assume you're ordering a low-calorie "diet" drink just because it's a smoothie. Some of these can be surprisingly high in calories, especially with all the nut butters, dates, protein powders, and add-ins. Delicious? Absolutely. Light and innocent? Not necessarily. I still enjoy coming here as a treat, but my wallet and calorie tracker both need a warning beforehand.

The first time I came here, it was busy. They clearly forgot my order. I had to inquire about it…read morewhen I started to notice people who came after me were getting their orders. Then, when the crowd dwindled, I was pretty much the only one still there so, yeah they def forgot it. I usually don't like to say anything, but I also didn't want to be there any longer than I already had been, so I kindly mentioned I hadn't received my drink yet. They were ok about it, I guess (definitely not nice) and I get when an establishment is busy, sometimes orders can sometimes get lost or accidentally not added. Whatever the reason may be, I eventually got my order and it was definitely rushed. I ordered the Tahitian Vanilla Bean Matcha and it was eh. I'm sure it's probably better but literally very low effort was put forth to make it. I decided to give this place a second chance during the week, when it's less busy. I got an acai bowl, I believe the Brazilian and it was good. I got a drink also, but it wasn't very memorable. Overall, it was ok.
