    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

    Coffee on the patio

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Holly K.

    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.

Behind the counter is a poster of the 25th anniversary of The Godfather. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Rustico, Caprese, and Cotto. Breakfast panini is only served from open to 11 AM. The cafe also sells coffee, gelato (six different flavors), salads, affogato, and croissants (plain, cream, nutella, and apricot). I had a cup of house brewed coffee and the drink wasn't quite on the same level as other third-wave coffee shops in the South Bay. They sell coffee beans from Danesi Caffe. *** Breakfast panini (Scrambled egg, fontina cheese, tomato a avocado - $10.95): A healthy-tasting sandwich, but it probably needed more sauce to add flavor. Bread was good. Rustico (RUSTICO: 24-month aged prosciutto di Parma smoked scamorza cheese, arugula, & white truffle extra virgin olive oil - $11.95): A solid sandwich, but it definitely lacked the "it" factor. *** A solid local cafe for anyone looking for a healthy Italian panini.

The gelato is velvety & soft with prominent flavor profiles. It's tasty. (Important Note: Bring cash. Card has a small additional fee, about 3.5% extra. Also, there's no flavor sampling.) I arrived at Il Gusto (West Covina) on Monday (around 7:29pm). This location shares the busy parking plaza by 85 Degrees (West Covina). Fortunately, it was easy to find parking this evening. Staff is professional and helpful. Staff worked quickly, and staff answered all my questions. Line went very fast despite a group being ahead of me. As mentioned, I ordered the Medium Cup (2 Scoops - $8). I selected a milk chocolate scoop and a cookies-flavored scoop. Portion sizes are fair and adequate for its quality. The flavors are delicious. The milk chocolate scoop reminded me of rich, dark chocolate milk. Its consistency felt very velvety, and its strong chocolate flavor almost teetered towards chocolate brownie territory. The cookie-flavored scoop was very tasty as well. This scoop flowed smoothly, and I happily enjoyed the soft cookie chunks within. This had a milder taste, but it felt very satisfying. This gelato was not icy; rather, it had delightful flavors while flowing like chilled silk. Concerning ambiance, Il Gusto (West Covina) shows genuine effort. The location is very clean and well-ventilated (refreshingly chill). I also enjoyed the Elvis Presley music. However, the music was occasionally drowned out from the loud electronic buzzing/humming sounds from the kitchen's containers. Also, some portions of the walls and floors looked scuffed with black marks. Il Gusto (West Covina) is also fairly small. It has three reflective tables inside; customer-only restroom; and three nearby shaded tables outside. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Il Gusto (West Covina). Its prices are adequate, the gelato is a good quality, and the staff is hardworking & helpful. If nearby, I recommend. 4.6 out of 5

Even though I have been to other Bacio's, I still like to try the same flavors sometimes just in case they are somehow different in taste due to location. I tried a few free sample flavors. I ended up with half Liana's Shortcake and half Torta Paradise. Both were very good and delightful. Very smooth. Unfortunately, the gelato was on the softer side. It was already melting by the time I exited the shop. It was a warm day, but still, not while I'm still inside the shop. I don't like melty gelato. I prefer they are a bit firmer in texture. Hence, 3 stars! One small gripe, very limited seating inside. No restrooms available. It's just a grab n go gelato spot. Nevertheless, I will always be back to Bacio di Latte wherever they are. Thanks for amazing gelato! Just don't serve melty ones.

I'd rather skip the wait and grab dessert somewhere else One thing I highly recommend is getting the waffle cone. They make them fresh in-house, and they're so good! They have a wonderful vanilla flavor that pairs perfectly with the gelato. The shop itself is beautiful. The floor-to-ceiling shelving around the walls gives it and elegant look. The decor is clean, neutral, and inviting, creating a cozy atmosphere. That said, don't expect to sit and enjoy your gelato inside, this is more of a grab and go place.
