    We stopped by Sea Beans and ordered their chocolate gelato--one of my absolute favorites. I actually forgot to take a photo because I ate it way too fast (it's that good!). Sea Beans has always been one of our go-to spots whenever we're at Terranea Resort. They offer so many great goodies, from sandwiches to snacks, and their gelato never disappoints. I also love how they always have a festive theme going on--like the adorable gingerbread house display they have right now. It adds such a fun and cozy touch to the whole experience.

    I needed a break caring for my mom who has Dementia, so I called up my friend and we headed to Rancho Palos Verdes. The costal drive was so relaxing: winding with a panoramic view of the Pacific ocean. When we arrived, the helpful and friendly valet directed us to the public parking lot and the path that led to the coffeehouse. As we walked down the sidewalk, the huge shade trees and landscaping gave off a tranquil and serene feeling. We saw the coffeehouse to our right, before the Terranea resort. What caught my eye was the case of beautiful desserts by the cashier, needless to say, we grabbed one to pair with our coffees. The cashier was super sweet and accomodated our every request with a smile; she even played the part of our photographer. We sat down at a comfy banquette that had pillows: my back thanks you. The light was dimmed which helped give the place a cozy atmosphere. The coffee was good, and the desserts divine! My friend commented that, for the area (RPV), the prices were reasonable. We brought home a fruit tart (YUMMY!) as a treat for my mom, and to help console my reliever (she loved it) who had just lost her grandmother. With my spirit rejuvenated, I was ready to get back to the challenges of caregiving. Thanks Sheila for the girly date, you're a godsend. NOTES: - Self parking available in the lot to the left - valet parking $27 - They are cashless - Afterwards, definitely take a stroll toward Terrenea Cove

    I like their ambiance and the variety of treats they have. I came around 30 minutes before closing so i only ordered something sweet that was ready to go and honestly for $16 the tiramisu was not worth it. It came in a chocolate edible cup which was small and didnt really taste like tiramisu but it was cute. I get it, its located at a resort but for a small pastry at $16? I gave it a 3 since the staff were friendly and gave good details on their items

    Beautiful location - love the chill atmosphere. Perfect location to catch up with the girls. The staff there is friendly, and the coffee and pastries are quite good. Will definitely be returning.

    Average coffee. The flavors were a little sweet for my taste, but their espresso was good. Plenty of other snacks inside if you need something, plus tables inside and out for working on a laptop. We went 3 times and the staff seemed uninterested in being there. The only person who was more kind than others seemed new, but that faded when another employee got upset with her for asking too many questions about where menu items were on the screen. At least the service was quick, and it's coffee.

    This is the coffee shop located inside of the Terranea resort. Service was very friendly and they have a great selection. Also a nice variety of gifts and granola to take home. They're baked goods are delicious, as is their gelato. I really enjoyed the Matcha lemonade as well. Great option if you are staying at the resort or visiting.

    Friendly staff and good coffee flavors. They also have lots of healthy food/snack options but we only got lattes.

    Very cute coffee shop at the resort! They have a nice selection of snack and house made packaged treats as well as gelato and pastries. I just went in for a latte and also got an adorable whale cookie for my son. The latte was good, but I wish they offered a small so that it was less milky. Lovely outdoor seating area to enjoy your coffee.

    tasty treats to stay cool

    sea beans is a cafe by the front entrance of the Terranea resorts. They probably get most of their customers organically for their location alone. My boyfriend and I were in the area exploring the sea coves and we decided to stop here for a refreshing treat. My boyfriend had an iced 20oz Lemonade ($5.50). They asked if he wanted it sparkling and he said yes, but it was served flat. I had an iced 16oz Mocha Latte with Oak Milk ($7.95) and a Gelato ($5/single scoop) in which I opted for the Tiramisu. The drinks were nothing special. This was a tourist trap and we definitely fell for it. The most disappointing thing of all was the wanna-be gelato. The texture was so awful when they scooped it up, this was definitely no gelato. They didn't even scoop it with the typically gelato scooper. They used a basic ice cream scooper. I definitely wouldn't consider coming back here even if I was in the area. There was indoor and outdoor seating but it was limited and not well maintained with the tables being dirty. Not exactly the image of luxury when it's so pricey.

    Nutella Baklava was my wife's choice.  She liked it.

    Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes is a lovely place. We had lunch at one of the restaurants at the resort. After having lunch with my lovely cousin and her fantastic family, we then headed to Sea Beans for dessert which is also located at Terranea. They got some awesome dessert selections at this shop. Of course, they carry other stuff as well. My eyes, though, were drawn to all the delicious looking sweets in their display cases. I wanted one of everything. My wife would not let me do that. Boo!!!! I ended up buying the New York Cheesecake with a strawberry on top. Tasted yummy! My wife bought the Nutella Baklava. It tasted quite good, but I'm a cheesecake person so I preferred my choice. My cousin and her family chose to try the gelato, and they said it was also delicious. Sea Beans should be on everyone's list to drop by whenever they are at the beautiful Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes.

    Cute place for coffee breaks

    Located at the front entrance of the Terranea resort. They serve coffee, sandwiches, and deserts. Price is comparable to Starbucks. Their deserts are beautifully displayed. We had cheese cake and tiramisu, each is $15. Chocolate cheese cake is no Bueno, very sweet, doughy. Tiramisu is too pretty to be eaten. I was looking at it for a while before breaking it down. The cup is dark chocolate, mascarpone mixed with coffee liquor, coffee macaroon, and lady finger dipped in mascarpone. It is kinda deconstructive version of Tiramisu. Thumb up! There is also an outdoor seating area with fireplace. It is a nice place to get coffee and snacks before or after hiking the beach trails.

    Got to enjoy some delicious London Fog and daily salad on a late Friday afternoon to get some work done. Beautiful ambiance and friendly service. Did I mention all their deserts are absolutely eye catching? Will come back for more...

    Great wine for sale

    Gelato! This shop is located in the Golden Cove Center. I've been meaning to visit for a while…read morenow, but finally came in. They have an A rating, and the place looks clean. Staff came out as soon as I walked in, and the doorway bell rang. Interior has three small round tables and wooden stools with counter along the window. Exterior has a couple large square metal tables with chairs. Those look like they're shared with the other businesses in the shopping center. So many flavors to choose from, and they all look good. I ordered an Affogato with a vanilla bean gelato and a small scoop of the Chai tea latte gelato. The Affogato was served in a small plastic cup with plastic spoon. The small scoop of gelato was served in a small paper cup with an even smaller plastic spoon. Both were delicious. The consistency of the gelato is smooth, as expected. Service was friendly and efficient. My order was ready and I was rung up in minutes. Parking: Free, shared shopping center.

    Golden Scoop Gelato is a great shop located in Golden Cove Center. As the name implies, what they…read moreoffer is a really nice selection of gelato. They have all of the traditional flavors as well as some very unique flavors. Thus, you'll have a great time choosing what you want to indulge in. More than just gelato, they also offer items like affogato. This is my favorite. As you may know this is espresso poured over gelato. With this concoction they allow you to choose two different flavors of gelato if that's your choice. Personally, I just stay with one, vanilla bean. But, that's really up to you. It's really a great little drink to have in the afternoon. There's a massive parking lot located right in front of this business So, you should never have a problem parking here. Though, I will say, sometimes the parking lot does get very full on those sunny weekend days. Nonetheless, you should be able to find a place to park. This is very clean shop. That's the first thing you noticed when you walk inside. They also have some nice seating inside. So, this is a great place to come and kick back and enjoy your treat. Overall, if you're in the PV area, and you'll want some great gelato, this may be your place to go.

It could be store bought horchata mix for all I know but it is uuuhhhhhMAAYYYZZZIINNGGG!!!! It hits everytime!!

My personal favorites are their iced dirty horchata, hot lavender matcha latte, and cinnamon chai croissant. There's usually a tiny chalk board displaying seasonal drinks by the register. I recall having an apple cinnamon cold brew back in the fall over a year ago and really enjoyed it. So take this as a sign to try their experimental bevs that aren't on the traditional menu if you get a chance! The vibe of the shop gives minimalist - nothing flashy about this place, but it's clean and you can even purchase merch from there too. One major con: small, cramped parking lot. For this reason, I'm usually in for a quick pick me up and out.

    Been coming here since they opened. My wife makes us visit every new coffee shop in the South Bay…read moreas she loves to try all the new things she sees on Tiktok. While some of them are okay, we always ALWAYS end up coming back to Corridor Flow the next week. Yes there might be a chic looking cafe with some fancy fad drink or a roaster just opened up their new industrial styled flagship store. But look forward to copious amounts of sugar covering up the taste of badly roasted beans or concrete blocks used as chairs and grossly high water to bean ratios. It should be a crime to sell over a 15:1 ratio. So why do we keep coming back to Corridor. Obv the coffee is great. The normal drip blend is something all coffee shops in the southbay should look to as an example. They used to use stereoscope beans which is known to be one of the best local roasters, and probably have a partnership with them because the roast is still exceptional. The coffee is flavorful, great mouthfeel, NOT watered down, just enough complexity to keep you curious but not so intense it is not longer balanced. If you actually like coffee, real coffee. This is the spot. It's like a slightly lighter cup of handsome coffee and a way better bang for the buck than blue bottle. They are constant supporters of artists and small businesses in the community, they have awesome style, like seriously their branding is legit. There are plugs everywhere. Like everywhere. Even in the back shaded patio. It's a great spot for getting work done. They even have an entire back area coworking space with private phone booths, printers, and all sorts of business supplies. The business is family owned and run. I forgot the owners names but the guy is an amazing individual and constantly is walking around connecting with people in the shop. I recently complimented someone on their style and the owner happened to be sitting across from me working, and then complimented me for being aware, present, and noticing things that made other people smile. This guy literally complimented me on complimenting others. Dude is meta af. The community is great and this is a big plus. This coffeeshop tends to attract just really honest and good-hearted people. I've met so many cool people here that are passionate about pursuing great things and moving humanity forward. In this time and day where there is so much hate and animosity, this is one of those very rare places where people can connect again. There is seriously no other coffee shop like it. It's comfortable. It's perfect for first dates, casual lunches, catching up with old friends, taking the kids somewhere (they have a dedicated children's section), grabbing a great cup togo (thank you for that dedicated pickup parking spot). and of course, getting work done. We've introduced at LEAST 30 people to this hidden gem over the years, and almost every single one of them says this is the best coffee shop they've ever been to. Yes parking sucks. But it's worth it. I looked around for parking for almost 20 minutes a couple months ago. Blame the city, not the coffee shop. They basically shut off public parking for the whole street opposite of the shop. I hope you guys open up another location someday. I know it's hard to expand in this day and age, but you guys seriously have a fantastic formula. Bravo friends. Cheers.

The shop has a huge lounge where you can relax, do some work, meet up with friends, or get the creative juices flowing. Decor is great they have a lot of local art, with a lot of slice of life hand drawn portraits by a local artist along with a small coroner of buyable showcased art. The coffees are very artisanal, thinks not the run of the mill black cup of coffee with sweetener pumps so be prepaid to pay a premium but very and fair affordable price. Coffee is well made and very balanced with flavors nothing overpowers the entire drink. I had the G.O.A.T, RIP Kobe, and the wifey had the Calamansi Tonic. Both refreshing. Staff was amazing made me laugh immediately, great way to start the day!
