Banger !!! The breakfast sandwich with the Portuguese bun was next level. Perfection in carbs. Great service, coffee was a little too milky so they gave me an extra shot on the house. So nice of them. Go here you won't be disappointed read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Verve is a cold coffee spot located in Manhattan Beach. Super nice area plenty of parking and there's a lot of shops around but it was pretty quiet. Nice chill vibe to it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: it's a small corner coffee shop located near the manhattan beach pier, limited seating, and it's a bit chaotic inside, disorganized lines for orders and pickups[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service: it's early during the day, but they ran out of two items I actually wanted to order on their menu, the water bucket was empty and never got refilled even after I acknowledged the staff Drink: regular and special coffee and matcha drinks Mocha - *** overpriced bland latte Price: generally pricey for the mediocre quality, fair for the location, expect medium size cups cost $5+ for drip coffee and $8+ for latte read more

This place was such a surprise for me. I came here on a Saturday morning before I checked out of my hotel. I was staying at the Shade so this was steps away, right around the corner. When it comes down to coffee I want to try the best place in every new town or city I visit and anything less than 5 stars I don't bother trying but the convenience of this location I decided to give it a shot. There was a line out the door, which was a good sign. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had seating both inside and out, there was standing room only inside however so I grabbed a drip coffee and headed outside, sat at a table and took a sip.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was probably the best cup of coffee I had during my entire Pacific Coast roadtrip starting in San Diego, ending in San Francisco and I went to a LOT of coffee shops. I have had a lot of coffee in my time and this is up there. Absolutely delicious so glad I decided to come in! read more

Location is nice walking distance from the pier. It was a gloomy morning in Manhattan so opted for a warm latte . Though my coffee was extremely beautiful it didn't hit maybe it needed more coffee. I think going back and asking them to fix it would have been okay since they were all very nice . Unfortunately I wasn't able to go back. I did like the chamomile tea so much felt very fresh and flavorful. Also if you order the breakfast sandwich with sausage the patty is big . For whatever reason the flavor of the meat wasn't sitting well for me so decided to remove it from my sandwich. I think if you like hearty breakfast styles that might an okay option. read more

Such a nice little spot right near the beach! I stopped in for the first time and tried their matcha latte--it was absolutely delicious, perfectly creamy, and hit the spot. Since it was my first visit, the barista was incredibly helpful and welcoming in guiding my order. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

First time at this location and wanted to give it a shot unfortunately did not impress me too much. I asked if they have any honey and lemon tea which the lady at the counter assured me they did. I also ordered a coffee and two cinnamon buns that were actually quite good. When the tea arrived I asked if there was honey and lemon. I received a little honey and a tiny cup and was told they did not have any lemons the whole reason I came in for the tea. This along with the fact that my coffee was lukewarm definitely gave me the idea they have to work out some Kinks. With the total price of over $22 for what I got definitely expected more. read more

A good approach here is to park up here near the top, either finding a spot or using one of the parking structures (not expensive at all). The head over to Verve and get your drink on. The coffee and smooth whether you like it bold or smooth. They got choices for the tea and chilled drinkers also. A nice pastry if you need it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The either have a seat and let your wellbeing improve or take a walk through along the sidewalks and window shop or head down to the ocean shore and pier.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The walk can be a bonus because you may note some spots you want to visit now or later. Maybe hitting up a place for lunch later on. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The key is, you started up at Verve is the coffee roaster set the tone. A chill vibe crew set the positive energy which is just what you needed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]My friends and I came here on a Sunday morning & loved the vibes there![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got orange creamsicle lattes & the blueberry matcha latte. The blueberry matcha was delicious. Loved the cold foam & the way they decorated the latte was so creative & pretty! I do wish the orange creamsicle latte had a stronger orange taste, but the sweetness level was perfect and the coffee was smooth which was great. Parking is difficult to find around the area - there is metered parking & a parking structure & it does take a bit of patience to find parking. On a weekend day, it's perfect to be able to walk around the stores in the area and grab a coffee from Verve. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's also patio seating which is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely come back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice designed coffee shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It looked clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a couple tables inside and a couple more outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got a latte, it was tasty but little pricey, which is probably normal because you are by the beach. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They do not have restrooms inside, they showed me the way to restrooms in the strip mall, but I couldn't find it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Street parking only. There is also a parking structure nearby Overall, good experience. read more

Upgrading the review after several return visits. The consistently excellent coffee combined with a solid food menu makes this an excellent choice of a café in Manhattan Beach.

It was really good; not too sweet or bitter. My only concern was the drinks are on the pricier side as my coffee was over $10. Overall, great work cafe with good coffee! read more

From what I've tried here at Verve, they have some quality coffee. They also have matcha and house made oat milk soft serve. There are also sweet and savory snack options. They have coffee on draft! The draft coffee comes right out of a tap and made it feel like a bit like a brewery. The ambiance of this place is aesthetically pleasing and looks like it's right out of a trendy tik tok that you'd find on an influencers page. Nice warm welcoming looking place, although we didn't feel very welcomed coming in. The worker felt slightly annoyed that we were first timers and needed some guidance on what to order. They also got the order slightly wrong and charged us a little more for something I didn't want. Aside from that, it was a nice clean place. This coffee shop is right up the street from Manhattan Beach pier, so very convenient to grab a coffee/snack and walk down to catch a nice view of the ocean and get some sun. read more

A hip little coffee shop located in a community plaza. This shop has limited seating for both inside and outside seating, but that's okay because most people take their orders to go. The baristas are welcoming and friendly, offering fast paced service. I ordered the caramel latte, which was smooth and blended well together. I loved the coffee foam art work. read more

Well well well, what to say about this adorable shop? It's a really nice example of how great and accessible specialty coffee has gotten. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a really bright space with plenty of sun and pastel goodness.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is efficiently used, with a small low bar for seating, and plenty of outdoor tables (with umbrellas!).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The line to order goes from right to left, which is not my favorite, but not gonna knock 'em for that! Anyways, I ordered an iced short latte with oat milk. Generally I like a smaller milk-to-espresso ratio, so an iced flat white is ideal for me. It was made quickly, and after a trip to the loo, they called my name! I grabbed my drink and sat down, and sipped away! It was super pleasant. In a place with so many options for coffee roasters, why not choose this one? The coffee was very neutral, and I happy with it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It wasn't the best ever, but the vibes were perfect![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perfect coffee for a stroll around a beach city, and, if you dare, you could even take a stroll down the steep hill towards the beach itself![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I think I'm pretty much done with Verve at this point. It's a bummer because I've been a loyal customer for almost 2 years and they were my favorite coffee shop in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the service, the coffee, the food, the ambiance. Most of the employees were very friendly and the manager (Jesse) was super nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I love the location, since it's close to the strand and located in the heart of Manhattan Beach. However, I'm truly fed up with how expensive everything has gotten. I remember when I thought $5 was expensive for a basic latte. Then it went up to $6, $6.50, now we're at $7+ for an unsweetened latte. I'm always happy to support local businesses and pay for quality, but this is a huge rip-off. I don't appreciate being gouged. The food is equally ovepriced. Did their rent go up or something? Is this just the standard since we live in a beach town? I don't get it. The quality is the same, the sizes are the same, yet I'm paying more for....some reason. Today, I gave them one last shot. I ordered an iced latte, which was very underwhelming. $8.30 (after tax and $1 tip) for milk flavored with a little coffee. I was suprised because I've always enjoyed their hot lattes. I also buy a variety of their beans (which have gone up $2 a bag) and have always loved the taste and quality. So, I decided to conduct a little research to see how much they're overcharging me for coffee. When I make my own lattes at home, they're the same size as their standard lattes, and it costs me about $1.90. Keep in mind, I'm using 2 shots worth of their beans and 8oz of organic grassfed milk. Compare that to $7. That's a 350% mark-up. I don't know...you decide if it's worth it to you. As for me, I'll be making my lattes at home going forward. read more

Honestly not sure if we ordered wrong but really wasn't a fan of the drinks we got. I love the lavender honey latte at captial one cafe and i saw they use verve coffee so wanted to give this a shot but the lavender honey here was more bitter and didn't have a lot of the lavender or honey flavor. we also tried the iced matcha latte but it was really just milk and the flavor felt flat. the staff are all really nice and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the inside is cute with some outside seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] line can get long so i would suggest ordering online. read more

The coffee was amazing!! The iced vanilla latte here is one of the best I've ever had. It was so smooth and perfectly balanced flavor wise. I can't wait to come back to get this drink again! The cappuccino was very tasty as well, strong but smooth. read more

To Verve or not to Verve...that is the question... On this day in sunny, iconic Manhattan Beach California named after the iconic Manhattan Big Apple, I decided to Verve. My latte was refreshing complementing my fried chicken and chocolate cake from Vons across the street. Verve has a cool facade, cool interior, lacking seating though(but there are nice outdoor seats and tables)and cool people watching. It's worth repeat visits. It does not quite make my five star rating but there's always room for an upgrade. I'll see how more of the drinks turn out. read more

I have to admit..........not in the slightest impressed! Came here on recommendation of a good friend to try Tokyo egg salad croissant and also ordered a small drip coffee...................$19.70. Croissant was definitly a day old (struggled to even cut it with a knife) and egg filling was totally blah! Coffee was presented in the tiniest paper cup I have ever seen.......like those water dispenser cups and NO WAY an 8oz ($4.70). Coffee was drinkable but sandwich was not good!

Nice cafe in MB. Has outdoor seating so you can bring your dog but it isn't shaded so just make sure you bring a hat. It also gets super packed. I got the chai latte and felt like it was okay. It was a bit watered down and I didn't get the amazing chai spices that come with a chai latte. I wouldn't order it again. My husband got the espresso tonic and said it was fine. Their breakfast sandwich was the best part of the meal and I would recommend it over their drinks. read more

My girlfriend hates when I react to the price of things, but $8.25 for a Dirty Chai Latte is cccccrrrrraaaazzzyyyyyyyy work lol. Wifey rolled her eyes at me in the middle of this beautifully curated coffee shop as my neck shrugged back and my eyes blinked quickly a few times in disbelief. I couldn't help it. I feel like I'm taking a left hook to the liver if I pay over $4 for a cold brew as I know how cheap it is to make, but $8.25 for a dirty chai latte is wild. I don't know. Maybe I'm trippin. $8.25 is after tax to be fair. And the Latte was damn good. And it's Manhattan Beach so people don't really care about the price of things anymore. If customers are paying these prices, why lower them? Rent gotta be expensive too. Nobody forced my gf to buy it either. They not hurting anybody in here. As a consumer, I guess the only thing I can do is write this review and take my business elsewhere. Or I could get my bread up. Yeah I think I'll do that. I may come here to just get a black coffee and a croissant in the near future, I bet these croissants SLAP. After $8.25-gate though I couldn't get anything. How could I support that? Apologies. This review was all over the place but I can only give you the real me on here and the real me is fighting demons. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews read more

Verve is a name that I recognize because their beans are used at Capital One Cafes. While there is free street parking blocks away, there are also closer options in the Metlox parking structures and will be a "stop by if convenient" location. Entering and exiting is super easy and convenient - imagine a popup with two entrances but covered with a roof. The overall theme is quite beachy - quite fitting - and their products and colors provide very relaxing feel with the exception of customers lining up. Because of the smaller size and frequent foot traffic, this is more of a "grab and go" or hangout than a "stay and work" for me. For drinks, I ordered my regular iced latte. The taste of their beans run on the darker and bolder side and less on the sweet, on par with what I had at Capital One. Though a relaxed atmosphere, the Verve staff are very efficient in getting orders in and out! read more

Cute little coffee shop. We found it by wandering. Lots of other cafes in the neighborhood were closed on a late Sunday afternoon/early evening around 4pm but we were delighted to find this one open. I ordered the Honey lavender cold brew draft w oat- which was delicious and up in an instants because it's on tap. Really refreshing, floral. Service was fantastic. Great bright and airy aesthetic. Decent amount of seating inside, with a few benches outside, and more general outdoor seating further down within the mall. I noticed that they had homemade oat milk soft serve (cone or coffee float option) - woulda loved to try that, but didn't because we were going to dinner soon after. Great place to get your caffeine fix or stop to chat with a friend if you're in the neighborhood! read more
