I stopped by Brother's Burritos on 11th Street and I'll be honest, this one is a mix of highs and…read morelows for me. I'm giving it four stars overall, but that last star really comes down to the service. I always try to bring a warm vibe, even spoke Spanish hoping to get a little friendliness back, but it just wasn't there. Nothing rude, just kind of cold and unwelcoming, which stands out more when you're by the beach and expecting that easygoing energy. Now the food... surprisingly good. Not mind-blowing, but good in that satisfying, "okay this hits" kind of way. And the portions? Huge. It honestly feels like you're getting two burritos in one because of how they wrap it. That alone makes it worth it. If you're hungry, you will not leave disappointed. Big shoutout for opening early too, because that's clutch for a breakfast burrito spot near the beach. You can grab your food, sit outside, and just enjoy the morning vibe, which is exactly what you want in that area. The outdoor seating is a nice touch and definitely adds to the experience. If I could give one piece of feedback, it would just be to the front staff, a smile and a little warmth would go a long way. Everything else is there, the location, the portions, the convenience. With a better first impression, this place could easily be a five.

I stumbled upon this little breakfast, taco, and burrito place which is just one block from the…read moreocean, and I have to say, it's got a wonderfully relaxing vibe. The outdoor seating right by the sidewalk, just a few small tables is perfect for a leisurely morning. They're open early morning until about 3 p.m., so it's a great place for a late breakfast or lunch. Just be aware that the parking is in a large lot shared with beach parking, so you'll need to pay for it. As soon as you order, they get to work. my burrito was ready in just a few minutes. Everything was fresh, and I loved that I could customize my taco or burrito just the way I wanted. The prices were very reasonable, too. The food quality was good although not outstanding, but definitely solid. Inside, it's a bit hit or miss. the air can feel a little stuffy, and it's not the cleanest, but it's fine for a casual visit. One letdown: they don't have fresh agua fresca, and the coffee is just self-serve, sitting there for who knows how long. Still, I really enjoyed it overall especially the sweet lady at the counter, who was so kind. I love supporting this hardworking local business.

Oh Martha. We gotta have a talk girl. What is going on?…read more I stopped by on a Sunday about 11:30ish for a party of 2. We got sat pretty quickly as this place was busyyyy. busyyy worker bees. Everyone was wanting to get a seat at Martha's! I only waited about 20 minutes if that. Not too shabbyyyy ! I started with an iced Spanish latte as I love my Spanish lattes. This is where everything started going downhill. First sip, questionable. Second sip, even more questionable. Mix the coffee with the straw for a minute, another sip, even worse. It tasted like I was drinking the water from a burnt coffee bean with a hint of cinnamon. It was NOT good. I was very sad. I ended up ordering an iced chai latte as a secondary choice.. because how hard is it to mess up a chai? WELP. It was managed to be messed up as well. How?! Martha girl, who was making the drinks this day, cause nuh uh, more training now. The iced chai latte was watery. It did not resemble a chai at all, even the color was weird. I took 2 sips and never finished either drink. I had my counterpart try it-- mind you, I took a sip and gave no reaction to not bias my counterpart. Once they tried it, they were just as astonished to how horrible both drinks were. They ordered the banana bread latte. oh my-lanta. Artificial, sweet, sour banana flavor, he had it switched out for a blended pump shake that was much better-- REALLY sweet, but they loved it. For the breakfast option, I ended up ordering the huevos playa. The hashbrowns were cooked evenly and tender. The sauce/salsa it was sitting in. not it. you're not that guy pal. tasted like pace salsa from a jar or something. that weird salsa taste that makes you aware that it is not home made. I did not like it whatsoever. The sour cream, guac and eggs were the only thing I enjoyed out of this dish. I would not order this again. The cinnamon pancake was the only thing that saved the experience, but even then, $17 for a singular pancake is absolutely insane. Overall, I was extremely, and I mean extremely, disappointed. I wish it lived up to all the social media hype that is around, but my taste buds were extremely unhappy leaving. Service was great, the lady removed the banana bread latte off our bill for not liking it, but I stayed with my 2 awful drinks. I ended up going to a coffee shop to fill my Spanish latte cravings after leaving. Parking is on the street, metered. fills up FAST.

I got a mimosa to start which was good but small. I then got a Aperol spritz which was good and worth the price. I ordered the breakfast burrito with sausage. It was so yummy! My friend got the burrito with bacon but the bacon came in chunks which wasn't good. The burrito also wasn't on all of the menus so just know it's available even if it's not on the menu you have. Overall the vibe was good and the food was tasty. Make sure to book a reservation in advance otherwise you might not get a table outside.

Hubbers and I had a mid-week day free, and with a couple of pups on hand, we brainstormed and…read morethought about where to spend that free time. Hermosa Beach it is. And Hubbers suggested this place for a late-ish lunch because he's been here before and had a positive experience. Outdoor seating only since we had the furballs. We had our choice of where since we were the only customers on a late lunch hour. Servers were so patient with our pups (even when they were moody - my apologies!) and were even nice enough to bring them water bowls! It was a cool and cloudy day, but that didn't damper anything. In fact, we appreciated it coming off the heat wave from the last couple of weeks! Everything on their menu looked so good, it took me awhile to decide. But Hubbers and I agreed on the Kayak Tide Tray (+4 extra oysters) and the charred watermelon salad. In the meanwhile, I battled between lobster pasta and five dragon pastrami. (The pasta won out.) Hubbers went for the cedar planked Ora king salmon. And a couple of cocktails to wash it all down! KAYAK TIDE TRAY: The seasoned scallops were my favorites, hands down. The sauce was fantastic and didn't overpower the scallops' main essence. The oysters were shucked fresh and the sauces elevated the flavors a bit. Shrimps were chilled tender and had a nice chew. Cocktail sauce added flavor. The mussels? Sad to say, but half of them were served still frozen hard. So we took our time with it and let it thaw out which didn't happen until we were halfway our meal. Overall: excellent. CHARRED WATERMELON: This plate was so well put together! And not only is it pleasing to the eyes (nice touch with the micros!), it was the same with the palate. Watermelon was fresh. Charred only on one side (I'm curious what it would be like if they charred ALL the sides - will make this request - only if possible - next time!) Taking bites from each component of this salad makes all the difference: the acidity of the tomatoes are tempered by the burrata and the cucumbers, and the freshness of the watermelon makes it all refreshing. The onions added a bit of tart, as did the pomegranates. Didn't notice any macadamia nuts, but no matter! This is a must have! LOBSTER PASTA: Didn't happen... see below. LOBSTER ROLL: Served along with Hubbers' salmon plate (more on that later.) We had a different server at this point (our first one told us he was going on his break.) I thought Hubbers put in an order of this too, so I moved the plate to his side. Our server noticed this and said, "Are you sharing? Would you like an extra plate?" Hubbers confirmed he didn't other this. And that neither did I, but we are waiting on the lobster pasta. He then explained they are out of that dish, "was this not related to you?" Long story short, I told him I'd take the roll, no biggie. He offered to comp it, and if I like, I can put in another order. So I went for the pastrami. And as we waited for that, Hubbers and I split this and WOW. Bread was toasted and buttered perfect, generous with the amount of lobster, plating was a delight to the eyes, and overall delicious. I appreciated the aroma of the tarragon. Yum! FIVE DRAGON PASTRAMI: This is a generous serving, plenty to share with another. Lots of flavors with each bite but the well-seasoned and flavored pastrami dominates them all. The slaw was strong but the subtleness of the lappi balanced it out. Sourdough was perfectly toasted. I thought about not ordering this since I knew the lobster roll might have been enough, but I'm sure glad I went for it! Delish! Hubbers let me have a couple of bites off his salmon plate and O.M.G.!!! He sure picked a good one! Skin was seasoned crispy and the fish was so moist! This is probably one of the best versions of salmon I've had. (For the record, I rarely order anything salmon since 90-95% of the time, they're served dry, but this one here, I'd highly recommend.) FOOD: 4.75. SERVICE: 5. They were AMAZING!!! VALUE: 4. Given the location, pricing is understandable. But worth it. PARKING: Street/Structure only. All metered. And getting here will require a bit of a walk depending on where you parked. OVERALL: 4.5. Plans on coming back here with more people is now in the works. Looking forward to doing that soon!

The gift shop next door was bright and festive, perfect for the holidays, and a great spot to pick up some last-minute, unique gifts you don't see everywhere.

I'm an adult woman, almost 48, and I don't appreciate being told how I should behave in a disrespectful way. At one point, an employee even told me not to talk to other customers--even when they were the ones starting conversations with me. That felt like bullying. Thankfully, that employee is no longer there, but the overall attitude still hasn't fully improved. I've been bringing my two dogs with me for a long time without any issues. Recently, I was told I can't use the bathroom anymore--even just to quickly wash my hands before eating. I understand rules about dogs not being allowed in certain areas, and that was explained properly, but the way everything was handled felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. Because of this shift in attitude, I've noticed other customers have stopped coming as well, like Alex and Trisha. Some people have even mentioned that the overall environment and customer treatment aren't as good as they used to be. It's disappointing, because this used to be a place I really liked. Now it feels like the attitude has changed, and not in a good way.

Unfortunately they closed the Cafe Bonaparte in Redondo Beach, which was closer to home. Felt like…read morecatching breakfast, so I came to this location. It's right off of Pier Avenue, on the way to the pier. You order and pay inside. You're given a number on your receipt, so before food and drinks are delivered to your table, staff call out your number. Staff are friendly and efficiently ring you up at the counter. I sat outdoors in their patio. There are mostly small round tables for two, so it's not really good for large groups, unless you want to move tables around and hog up all the outdoor space. There's also free entertainment, whether you want it or not. When I was here, it was a singer/acoustic guitar player. Fortunately, not bad or annoying. I ordered my usual, oak milk latte and avocado toast, which comes with a side salad. Get ready, it's a lot of hard boiled eggs strategically placed on a slice of toast.

The food here is always prepared very well, and it's a fun place to take a break during your day and enjoy a drink or a meal. In terms of seating, Café Bonaparte has a great outdoor patio. There's a number of tables, and it's really a great place to sit back and enjoy the air of Hermosa Beach. The one thing I will say, is that every now and then, particularly on the weekends, you're gonna get some musician busking right next to this patio. If they're a good musician and a good singer, this isn't too bad. But, on the other hand, sometimes there's some busters in the area that just are not very enjoyable to listen to. This can really kill the experience. They also have a few tables for interior seating if that's your choice. Overall, this is a really great place in Hermosa Beach to grab a latte, maybe a bakery item, or a small meal. You can sit back and enjoy the day, have a great conversation with whoever you're with, or just enjoy the vibes of Hermosa Beach .
