I'm there, with Lucy - first in line every weekend! It has become one of our favorite rituals and my wife looks forward to our return with pastries. The croissants deserve special praise -- fresh, perfectly crisp on the outside, buttery and delicate inside, and simply lovely in every way. They are exactly what a French croissant should be, and honestly transport us right back to Paris with every bite. Beyond the pastries, there's a warmth and authenticity here that is hard to find. If you love true French baking and that charming Parisian feeling, this bakery is an absolute treasure.

Manhattan Beach Creamery is an independent, local Manhattan Beach landmark worth a stop for anyone…read morevisiting the area - and multiple visits if they are to your taste. While I've been here a few times this is my first formal review. I came with my family one Sunday evening on a hot July day, bypassing several chains on the way, including the new(er) Salt and Straw across the street. The inside is packed to the brim with sweets, small toys, and people, much like a candy shop of old. After reaching the front of the winding line our family shared a Banana Split ($13) - three scoops of ice cream, a split banana, hot fudge, a single dry topping (we chose coconut), whipped cream, and a trio of cherries - about as classic as it comes. The ice cream was good but not exceptional. The chocolate and strawberry were fairly generic, but I liked the third scoop of banana foster ice cream which had a nice banana kick. I doubt this ice cream is home made. The complements and construction to the sundae were great, however, and the flavors came together well. As I would hope for a location like this, the staff are local youths who served with patience and passion. In cases throughout the store are several of their other specialties - ice cream cookie sandwiches, dipped frozen bananas, and more - inviting repeat visits. Prices are elevated but not crazy for such a trendy area, although I would say with the middling quality of the ice cream a couple dollars less would be fine. Overall, Manhattan Beach Creamery is a local landmark worth at least a single visit for anyone in the area. If you can get past the generic, if a little boring, ice cream flavor and rampant commodification of the interior, you'll find a classic ice cream parlor with great service and history. Is it worth a repeat visit? I leave that to you. Food: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 4/5

Today, the inside was decorated for the World Cup 2026 fans, and there definitely were some global visitors, judging by the languages I overheard in the line while waiting for my turn.

Le Pain Quotidien is the perfect place to start your morning before spending the day in Manhattan Beach. The atmosphere is relaxed, cozy, and exactly what you'd hope for on a sunny California weekend. The staff were incredibly friendly from the moment we walked in and made us feel welcome throughout the entire visit. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. The Eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked, the croissant sandwich was flaky and packed with flavor, and the ricotta toast with prosciutto and peaches was a combination I wasn't expecting to enjoy this much. Every dish looked beautiful and tasted just as good. But the real surprise was the Pistachio Latte. It was honestly one of the best specialty lattes I've had in a long time. I finished my first one during breakfast and liked it so much that I ordered another one to go before heading out to walk around Manhattan Beach. Great food, excellent coffee, friendly service, and an ideal location just minutes from the beach. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Manhattan Beach.
