I'm going to be honest--I almost don't want to write this review because I selfishly want to keep this place a secret. The Green Store is one of the South Bay's best hidden gems. It's family-owned, the service is impeccable, and everyone there is incredibly kind. The sandwiches are the reason you come here. You build your own by grabbing a ticket, heading to the back, and checking off exactly what you want. My go-to is a French baguette with prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, pesto, and tomatoes. It's absolutely generational. This is the perfect spot to grab lunch before heading to the beach. If you're lucky enough to know about The Green Store, don't take it for granted--it's another generational South Bay find. (But between us... let's keep this one on the down low. read more

Stumbled upon this spot while visiting Manhattan beach, they had just closed shop ended up letting me pick up some last minute goods. The service was excellent and their customer care really showed. Next time I am in town I will get there early for their sandwiches! read more

The Green Store is awesome! If you are down at the beach and need some last minute supplies, food, snacks, or drinks, The Green Store has you covered. Yes, it is a bit expensive, but you are paying for quality and convenience. Plan ahead next time, lol. The vibe is more boutique convenience store than gas station or 7-11. The staff is always friendly too, and that really matters. Seriously, it is a gem of a convenience store basically on Hermosa Beach, or at least a one minute walk from the sand. 5 stars. read more

The Green Store - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Cute little pit stop right off the strand in Hermosa with unreal sandwiches. Always has a good variety of soda and drinks to choose from as well. Small selection of candies, classy t-shirts and other kitsch. If there is a line it's worth the wait. Make sure to check in and see if the owner is there at the register she is wonderful and always cool to talk to. It's not just locals only, they make you feel like your at home! read more

The Green Store - Italian sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

We spotted this little gem in Hermosa one evening while out to dinner nearby and decided it was a must-try... My husband went back a couple of days later and ordered sandwiches for lunch. He built his own and ordered me the Turkey Havarti with no red peppers and added avocado. It was expensive, but clearly quality (Boars Head) and so delicious! I ate the whole thing and was very satisfied. He loved his also. Service was speedy... We will absolutely return when back in the area! read more

The Green Store - Tuna sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Stopped by The Green Store in Hermosa Beach and had the Reuben sandwich with pastrami, and wow... this one deserves the hype. The pastrami was stacked, perfectly seasoned, and super tender. The bread was toasted just right, the sauerkraut had great balance, and everything came together exactly how a classic Reuben should. You can tell they care about quality here--fresh ingredients, generous portions, and consistent flavor in every bite. The vibe is laid-back, service is friendly, and it's the kind of local spot you end up craving again a few days later. If you're in Hermosa Beach and looking for a great sandwich, especially a Reuben with pastrami, The Green Store is a must. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu. read more

The Green Store - Delicious Reuben sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

We always love going in to visit with Lana and enjoy our after beach/ walk drinks and some tuna salad!

Love this place! It's in a prime location right next to the beach. The folks who work there are super friendly. They have delicious sandwiches and sides to go with them. We haven't tried them all yet, but we've been a few times and haven't had one we didn't like yet! My wife and I also stopped by for cups of coffee before a morning dog walk by the beach recently. They have pretty good coffee! I take mine black and I enjoyed the flavor. I prefer their coffee over most of the other spots near the pier that have coffee. Definitely would recommend stopping by in the morning and/or near lunch time! read more

The pesto pasta here is always a winner. Not overly rich and always has me thinking I should have bought a second one. The Green Store is so convenient and the owner Lana is always so sweet and so helpful! I love their unique selection! read more

Super adorable right by the beach and he has all the little goodies that you could think of that you need

I like this store overall. Really helpful staff & great sandwiches. Prices seem reasonable & they have a good selection which is much needed in this neighborhood. I guess the only reason I can't put 5* is sadly because when I tried going a second time during normal business hours, the shop was closed. I had walked there & then had to walk back to my jobsite empty handed & drive somewhere else. Although this is likely a rare occurrence, a note or something might have helped understand if they were going to reopen that same day so I could try back later or something. There were other customers in the area that had a similar experience, although they had driven there. Anyway, when I work in that area again, I'll for sure give them another try as I really do love the Cesar salad wrap sandwich I had. read more

We had this deli cater our daughter's first birthday, and I honestly can't imagine how the experience could have been any better. Lana was incredible from start to finish. She went above and beyond in every possible way, helping us think through menu recommendations, accommodating an early pickup so everything would be ready for our girl's special day, and even proactively adding thoughtful presentation touches that we didn't ask for but truly made the day feel extra special. As first time parents planning our first birthday, that meant everything :) And the food is unreal. Always fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. A great assortment of sandwiches and sides made with fresh bread, top-quality meat and veggies (*Side note: They have the best Italian sub in the South Bay. No contest.) If you're considering this place for catering or just grabbing a sandwich on the way to the beach, don't hesitate. A true South Bay gem with outstanding food, great people, and thoughtful service every time. read more

Lana is so kind and welcoming! I just moved 1 block up the street and had no idea how awesome the store is filled with amazing goods of different varieties until I walked in. Amazing lattes/ coffee and seating w wifi. So so glad that this store is in my neighborhood! read more

I stopped in on a Saturday morning to grab a Reuben and had an unfortunately uncomfortable experience with the woman behind the counter. She asked if I had hired someone I'd just met for breakfast across the street. When I said no, she immediately jumped to conclusions -- telling me she "knew it" and that I had just taken the young man's gift without intending to hire him. She didn't ask for context. The reality was that he didn't have a work visa, so I wasn't in a position to hire him regardless. For what it's worth, I had paid for his Ubers and his breakfast that morning while we talked through his situation. On top of that, I didn't leave a tip on my sandwich order -- honestly, I wasn't sure whether tipping is expected when you're just grabbing a coffee or a sandwich at a counter-service deli. I tip 18-20% consistently at sit-down spots, but at grab-and-go places I genuinely wasn't sure of the etiquette. She took visible issue with it and asked about my ethnicity -- which felt pointed and inappropriate. She then told the chef to "take his time" with my order and, at one point, held up a pair of scissors and said she was going to "cut" me. I'm sure it was meant as a joke, but combined with everything else, it didn't land that way. I came in hoping for a quick sandwich and left feeling judged and uncomfortable. The food scene in Hermosa has plenty of warm, welcoming spots -- this visit unfortunately wasn't one of them. read more

I gave this place a second chance on an espresso drink after not loving it the first time around months ago. I was charged $1.00 for a splash of almond milk in my Americano. I understand charging that if I wanted a latte with almond milk but a splash? When I asked the woman working about it, she said they have been changing their pricing and gave an insincere "sorry." read more

Went here with my friend and the service was amazing! The owner was very personable and easy to chat with. The vibes were great, food was tasty! Will definitely be coming back read more

I love this place so much. Amazing food, the deli sandwiches/wraps and sides are so delicious. Customer service is wonderful too. Very friendly, food is always ready quickly, and consistently good quality food. They have everything you could want for a perfect beach day and walking distance from the beach. I come here twice a week minimum and it's fantastic every time. I love this place. read more

The Green Store - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

This sandwich shop/mini bodega is turning out fresh sandwiches and great customer service! I was greeted with a warm smile and "hello" the second I walked in and had no wait time to order. I opted for the "build your own" sandwich option and loved the concept to fully customize your sando. I chose oven roasted turkey w swiss on a baguette w avocado and all the fixings I wanted. The proportions were great and perfectly balanced, the baguette was delicious, and everything was so fresh! Total wait time to build the sandwich was probably 3 - 4 minutes, not bad at all! There are plenty of drink options and snacks here too, and the parking could not have been easier. Can't wait to come back and try more from this incredible spot! read more

The Green Store - Did the "build your own" option. Oven roasted turkey on a baguette w avocado and other fixings -- DELICIOUS!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

My wife and I have been stopping by fairly regularly and I realized that 4 stars just wasn't good enough! The sandwiches and wraps are really yummy, especially after a long bike ride. Lana and the staff are great so it makes it easy to stop by every week. Keep it going! read more

The Green Store has the best sandwiches in Hermosa Beach! All the food and groceries available feel hand picked and very high quality. I truly love coming here and the owner is always nice to me and my dog. You can tell she cares about her customers and the quality of service/product she provides. I highly recommend! read more

Unfortunately, we will never step foot in this establishment ever again! Saturday night, my daughters and a bunch of other local children went in to purchase candy. They struck up a conversation with the owner, Lana and the subject of the fact they were Jewish came up. Sadly, what happened next was disheartening. Lana proceeded to tell them to "free Palestine." Yup, you heard that correctly. She told a child who is Jewish and has nothing to do with the conflict in the Middle East that Palestine needs to be free. I have asked numerous people if she has ever said that to them but I have yet to find anyone. Lana has chosen to pick and choose who she wishes to say this too and it appears it's only to Jewish customer. Lana is free to hang a flag or place signage up in her store that says she supports Palestine, but when she directs her political views towards Jewish children, that's where I draw the line. Just hoping she realizes her plight for the Palestine's wasn't made any better by her saying that two my daughters and only spreads hate. read more

Ate here the other day and honestly did not like it one bit. The food is awful, the service is bad as the person taking my order had a really bad attitude, and the bathroom was one of the dirtiest bathrooms I've ever seen at a type of place like this. If you're gona eat here at least let it be your only option. I would never go back. I don't normally leave reviews but this one was just egregious! read more

The food, the service, everything about this place is a 10/10! Such a delicious hidden gem. Get a sandwich from the deli and enjoy it while watching the beach sunset. Would definitely recommend everyone to come here! read more

Amazing service, great wraps and sandwiches and a solid drink selection. One of my go tos whenever I'm in the area!

Great selection of food items, and incredibly kind and helpful staff. Wonderful location, right on the water. Will be back again very soon!

The veg wrap was 6!! As was the friendly service. Clean, quick & easy at a fair price read more

Really nice workers. Dont know if we got it on a bad day, but this was the most pathetic Italian sandwich I've ever seen in my life. Might have been 2 slices of meat. I will say it was quite tasty, but $16 for this is preposterous. read more

The Green Store - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

The prices here are out of control. They benefit from the location and there not being any good alternatives nearby for groceries. There are some nearby better places for coffee or coffeeshop-like items The quality of what you receive does not justify these prices. I will not buy anything here ever again. I have been disappointed too many times. Service has also been sketchy. One time there was no one to help me check out. They also just aren't welcoming. read more

Such a cute shop with lots of goodies. So close to the beach. Plus... the owner and staff are the nicest people! Will be back!

The carrot cake is my favorite thing from here. I get it every week. Best deli in hermosa beach. Phenomenal customer service the owners are so friendly. Service is fast too! read more

The best sandwich I've ever had! The service was great, and the sammy was ready within minutes. Great little shop with a nice outdoor seating. I tried the reuben which was good, but the ROAST BEEF SANDWHICH was amazing! read more

"I love the green store. The chicken Cesar wrap is my favorite wrap from here. The pasta salad and grape leaves are also really good. The customer service is the best!" The owners are so sweet read more

Great food. Great service and nice laid back atmosphere. Enjoyed my food on the patio. Great place to stop if you're in the area.

I'm surprised by some of the reviews for this store/deli spot - my experience was really positive! I met my husband for a quick lunch and we shared a tuna melt and a BLT with chicken salad wrap. Everything tasted fresh and delicious! I had showed up a little late so my husband went to order me an iced latte and the owner told us not to worry about paying until we were done enjoying our food. I always find it refreshing and surprising when an owner feels comfortable and trusting enough of us to take our time on payment. The sun was out, there's a nice little spot outside to enjoy your meal and you're literally steps from the beach. It's kind of idyllic and I would be more than happy to go back! One star taken off because it was rather expensive (we ordered 2 sandwiches and a container of chicken salad for our son and it was ~$41, but we're living in the world of inflation so I think it's more a reflection of the cost of everything these days, not high prices for no reason). read more

Not my first time nor will be my last. It's an older house look to it from the outside but the inside is a bunch of happy employees and yummy food and drinks. You can grab and go anything and chill beachside. I ordered ahead of time and our food was waiting for us, grabbed some bottled waters and hit the beach. Always a pleasant experience and I highly suggest anyone looking for a bite and even a to go cocktail this is your spot in Hermosa beach. Not to mention it's a block barely from the sand! read more

A deli with GLUTEN FREE BREAD! I can never get sandwiches because of the bread and it's rare to find GF friendly places. I got the ham sandwich with feta cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, Mayo and Dijon. Everything was fresh and delicious. Will be back if I'm around this area. read more

This store is a hermosa gem. The deli sandwich's and wraps always are nothing less than amazing. The Jackson is one of my favorites and the bread is perfection. The owner works so hard and makes all feel welcome. read more

The staff are very sweet! A bit busy and crowded on weekends, even during COVID. They're doing a great job trying to keep social distancing, but obviously they're too busy and can't control that Jimmy over there in chino shorts was walking around with no mask. Their sandwiches are delicious (and I'm not even a sandwich kinda person), so come early for more bread selection! I got some sort of chicken sandwich with sun dried tomatoes, and my friend got a tuna salad sandwich. Both were really good! Definitely will be back. read more
