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.

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.

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.

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.

IMO Sidecar has the best fancy doughnuts in the South Bay. If you can't decide what to try, here…read moreare my recommendations. Huckelberry is a bit tangy and fruity. If you like blueberry donuts, get this one. Butter & Salt is the perfect sweet+salty donut with a brown butter glaze. Maple Bacon is one of the few raised yeast donuts and the sweet+savory combo is the best! The Apple Fritter is really good, but only available on Fridays. I highly recommend trying at least one of their seasonal donuts too. They are very unique and delicious. What I recently discovered is that their coffee is quite good and reasonably priced for the Manhattan Beach area. If you still can't decide what to purchase, the staff is always very nice and helpful. They always seem to be in a really good mood. The donuts are presented in nice, branded boxes if you purchase 3 or more. The store is located in the Manhattan Village, right near the entrance, so there is plenty of parking. Definitely check it out!

The flavors are great and really unique which i like. They have a seasonal weekly flavor and the service is always nice. It has plenty of parking and there's seating on the inside. I also really like how there are samples if you go in the morning which has persuaded me to try some new flavors I wouldn't have gotten. Yes its a bit pricey, but definitely worth it as the taste is amazing. My only feedback is on Too Good to Go orders. PLEASE allow there to be a separate non-meat/vegetarian option. Since if you order through the app, sometimes they may have a maple bacon donut which I don't eat meat so anything that donut is touching I also throw out which is a waste.

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.

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.
