I can summarize it all by saying that, if I were to buy/build a coffee shop, it might be this one. It's casual and inviting with delicious menu offerings, generous servings, fresh baked goods and delicious coffee. The service is timely and friendly. And there are 5 different sitting areas (booth, bench, bar, bistro and patio), good background music and they offer beer/wine for day-drinkers. I wish they were open later and wish they had dairy-free/vegan baked good options - but not enough to deduct a star from this daily visit during my 1-week stay in the Hermosa Beach area. read more

What a great spot--even in a town with plenty of cool cafes, Bolt has some extra charms: great outdoor dining spaces, house-made pastries (the lemon cookie is so gooood), and savory dishes that are delicious and different, and very tasty drinks too. A block from the strand. If you need a cafe break but can't face another blueberry muffin, you want Bolt. Oh and bonus: fun t-shirts! read more

Bolt - Coffee cake, lemon cookie, iced Nutella latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

It's a self service place you order food at the counter and get a number for them to bring your food to the table. The Drinks you get there at the counter. Definitely lots of bolt Decor everywhere hence the name. The eggs Benedict were delicious and the chilaquiles were a bit simple not the best. Would definitely come back for their raspberry muffin it was freshly baked and to die for. If you're in look for a good coffee and freshly baked goods and great friendly service this is definitely the place. read more

Good coffee, friendly coffee staff but food was lacking. The chilaquiles shouldn't be called chilaquiles, it tasted like the opened a bottle of Pace salsa and dumped it on the chips with some cheese that wasn't event melted all the way. The breakfast sandwich for the price you're better off going to the grocery store and buying all the ingredients so you can make 4 of your own. They tasted premade as of hours ago and all it is an English muffin, some egg; one piece or can cheese and two slices of bacon for 16, at max for the size and quality of ingredients that should be like 8 bucks. read more

Today I had the pleasure of my Saturday morning treat after my walk at Bolt in Hermosa Beach. The avocado toast is simply divine it's filling, and fresh, and the eggs are made just right. They make the most amazing drinks I had a decaf sugar-free iced vanilla latte and it was awesome and my daughter had an iced Matcha which was fabulous as well. The young lady that is there at 8 AM on Saturday mornings is always super sweet. Staff is always kind pleasant, and welcoming! The pastries look so divine it is a must try you need to stop in and say hello to the staff and get some nice pastries and coffee. read more

I walked in and took at look at the menu and immediately felt a bit rushed by the patrons behind me so I let them order first. I was standing there, alone after the other people ordered, for quite some time and the woman at the counter takes off into the kitchen without a word. She didn't say, " any questions about the menu? Or, "I'll be right back to take your order". She awkwardly made eye contact popped into the kitchen for several minutes then came back to take my order. She returns to take my order and I wait. There are several areas to sit and relax, one immediately when you walk in and then 2 others as you walk back. It's a chill spot but I didn't immediately feel the warm and fuzzies. The ice coffee was good but it was the breakfast sandwich that makes up for the awkward interaction at the counter. The biscuit is delicious and who doesn't enjoy and bit of sweet and savory mix with the bacon. read more

Good coffee. Great pastries/baked goods. Mediocre food. I don't like paying to eat out and then getting your food and it's more basic or worse than what you could make for 1/4 the price yourself at home. We have eaten here a handful of times now and the pastries are always great and the hot food a bland, disappointment. read more

I haven't tried their food yet, but their coffee is great and so is their service. Love the various outdoor/indoor seating options too. The pastries look really yummy and fresh so I'll have to give one a try next time. read more

I was excited to try a new brunch spot in HB, but it definitely has room for improvement. We sampled their brunch (see the picture below) -- I ordered the huevos rancheros, while my partner got the eggs Benedict. Unfortunately, my huevos rancheros were quite bland and lacked some key ingredients. I've tried this dish at various brunch places, and this is the first time I didn't finish my food. It's frustrating to waste food! That said, this place is new in town and has a trendy vibe, so I'll definitely visit again. Next time, I'll probably stick to safer options like their pastries and coffee. Hopefully, the brunch dishes will improve with more ingredients and flavor! read more

Some items are worth the money but their avocado toast is a rip-off. I have never had such a sad avocado toast for that much money. Also, $6 for the tiniest matcha I have ever received? And, it was super strong. My fault for choosing the wrong things, Other dishes looked amazing. If I come back, I will try something else. Also, experienced a salty bartender. I couldn't find them so I went and ordered in the other room. When they were handing me my beer, they apologized for not hearing me yelling for them. What? i never did that. I guess they don't like when you go and order in the other room. Not sure if I want to give them any more of my money. read more

Came across this spot as I was walking to my car from Proudly Serving and I couldn't resist checking it out! The inside had a very modern feel and had hella outdoor seating to enjoy the beach views. I was super full from lunch, but just had to try out some of their pastries! The staff there was super helpful in suggesting some options and i decided on the rocky road cookie. Not too sweet and had amazing flavor! I also had this 7 layer dessert that was pretty damn good too lol. I will definitely be back to try more! read more

It's unfortunate, because we found this place over the summer and fell in love with the breakfasts and the cookies, we were going back almost weekly... But since then thimgs have gone downhill. Unfortunately, the last time we went in, might be the last. We came in and she was helping someone else but didn't even acknowledge us I til after she was completely done with making their order. All the while we stared at fly after fly crawl over the last 2 rows of cookie and kept crying when it walked onto one that we wanted. When she finally realized we existed, we told her about the fly (that was still there) and she did nothing. Pointed out the cookies that the fly was on and she looked at them, did nothing, and said oh sorry. And then left them there. We ordered our food, she not only forgot my extra order of extra crispy bacon, the bacon we did get was all undercooked and the food was under seasoned. I asked her to have it recooked, she did but looked very unhappy about it all. It was just a very disappointing meal and experience over all. read more

I love this place! I got a hot mocha and a piece of their homemade chocolate and walnut cookie that was yummy. We tried the Ultimate Bolt Breakfast Sandwich.

Super friendly service, great cookies! Dog friendly! Great location in Hermosa beach!!

Super good bacon breakfast burrito! It came with bacon, egg, cheese, potatoes and salsa! The salsa could be a little bit more seasoned but it was still delicious! I also got a vanilla iced latte and it could be a little bit stronger and sweeter even after I got 1 extra pump of vanilla lol My sister got a quesadilla and she gave it a 10/10 lol read more

Great lattes here, homemade pastries, and love the breakfast and lunch menu. I've tried the avocado toast (if you don't like spice, don't add the spice topping), breakfast burritos are good, love the homemade blueberry muffins, the classic breakfast is really good to (love the potatoes!) Service is friendly and quick for grab and go style as well. Always a great beachy neighborhood vibe. Def recommend for a local coffee and pastry pit stop. read more

Super fast and they pull a solid shot. Staff are friendly. It's a fun neighborhood joint.

We chose Bolt based on rave reviews for the breakfast sandwich and it was on-point delicious. The service however leaves a little to be desired. Our group of 5 chose a quiet area in the back since there were only 4 tops everywhere else and were enjoying our meals. Slowly, a big group rolls into that area after about 40 mins into our meal. Surprisingly, a server carrying a large tray of burritos sat it down on our table. One of our group asked if he'd like us to move and he said "Yes, that'd be great." No offer to move us to another table (we were nowhere near being done with our coffee), no nicely asking us to quickly finish. So up we went and won't be going back. Being overwhelmed is no excuse for rudeness. (He did afterwards say thanks for understanding as he handed me a togo box)...so not all hope is lost. read more

Barista Sophia was so kind, made my coffee super quick and with a smile. I loved her my little pony shirt 2 :) us girlies have to stick together. Food was overpriced however read more

Food GREAT Service GREAT Atmosphere GREAT It's not overpriced for what you get in terms of quality however the pricing is not competitive with similar restaurants which also serve quality options. Enjoy but be prepared to pay a little more than you would elsewhere. read more

I'm obsessed with this café. The menu is full of flavorful dishes, the pastries are always fresh and irresistible, and the coffee selection is impressive (whether you're into classics or specialty brews.) The beautiful patio is the real charm! Bright, peaceful, and perfect for lingering. If you love great food, great coffee, and appreciate good service, this place is a must!! read more

I like to come here early Mondays breakfast is always good delicious and fresh! The seasonal pumpkin muffin was the hit! Can't wait to check what seasonal menu they have this winter! Come early mornings for best service after a quick run at the beach! read more

I'm consistently impressed by this place! From the incredible array of house baked goods that are rotated, to the excellent food. The sandwiches come with fries, chips or salad which is a nice touch.you should check it out! read more

Stopped by for a quick breakfast with a friend. You order at the front counter & they give you a number to bring to a table of your choosing. The cashier informed us it would be about 20min-25min wait since they were backed up on orders. The place wasn't busy at all so I thought that was a little odd and it wasn't a weekend, but maybe they are short staffed. The store is cutely decorated and a nice spot for breakfast. We chose to sit outside since it was a nice sunny day. We both ordered the breakfast burrito with sausage. It was yummy & a decently sized burrito. Love that they put a large piece of sausage inside. Their other menu items seem interesting as well, so if I'm ever back in the area, I may want to try something else. read more

Bolt - The BOLT Breakfast Burrito with a healthy dose of cholula's - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Walked in, no one greeted us. We stood at the register for so long and no one still said anything customer service here is terrible.

The service was very good, very polite, and very friendly. The ambiance was also very nice, you just order your food upfront and then sit down and wait. I enjoy all the little coffee tins with cutlery in them. The breakfast burrito was incredible, the eggs inside were made very well and didn't feel "gross" and the potato's were very delicious. However, the iced vanilla coffee tasted very odd. It had a kid of burned milky taste and barely tasted like vanilla or coffee. I would come back again for the burrito though! read more

I tried Bolt for the first time yesterday just to pick up some coffee so I can't speak to the food yet, but I will say that the coffee was delicious! I ordered a regular latte and a drip and the flavor of my latte was really good and hot. The pastry display is gorgeous too and if I had been in the mood, I totally would have gone for it cause everything looked actually good and not like it'd be sitting out for awhile like some places. Lots of variety. The only thing I will dock them for is that they appear horrifically understaffed. I know they have requests for more baristas but the poor girl who was serving us had a line of 5 people out the door trying to take orders and make drinks. She was smart in that while she was at the espresso machine, she took a few of our orders verbally and just cranked out our drinks. So I was holding my latte and enjoying it when I paid for it, but for a coffee shop, I waited much too long for my drink. The woman behind me ended up getting out of line and leaving because it took too long. Finally, two guys came out from the back and helped the woman, but I think they have to have at least 2-3 people working to process the morning rush if they're going to keep getting business. The menu looks delicious (chilequiles and breakfast tacos? yes!) so I can't wait to try it again soon! read more

Loved it! Actually used to go there many years ago, when it was Tammy's! Love how they freshened up and redecorated. Loved the ambiance! Good was great! Will definitely be returning! read more

BOLT seems to be known for their breakfast and lunch, which we have yet to try (no, I know). But, we stopped by for dinner, which they just started doing, and it was awesome! They do rotisserie chickens, brisket, and pulled pork plates, along with burgers and salads. There are even kids options, but our daughter wanted my chicken over her quesadilla (which was still tasty)! The plates come with roasted squash, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato fries, salad, etc. They also do cauliflower bites with a tasty dipping sauce. Great beers on tap, too. I will definitely be back - gives you that home cooked feel, without having to clean the kitchen. The price point is great, too. Highly recommend the rotisserie plate! Oh, and the staff is amazingly nice! It's casual too, order at the counter and grab a seat. Go support BOLT! read more

Avoid this place if you enjoy shitty coffee, spend your time and money in chain restaurants, and consume prepackaged garbage food. If you are not one of the above, Bolt is for you. It's what a neighborhood coffee joint should be. Fun, friendly, and good hang spot before or after your beach adventure. The soul of Bolt was created from the DNA of the South Bay community. Enjoy it. Cherish it. Respect it. read more
