Cute place, nice and open. Amazing location by a bookstore, and for shopping and strolling near the beach. And good coffee and light bites. The had a nice selection of pastries; we got the lemon poppyseed and blueberry muffin and both were delicious. Our drinks were good and we were served quickly after we ordered as only one person was working. Worth a stop in if you're in the MB area!

I walked straight to this shop after leaving the books store next door. What a lovely coffee shop. Great customer service and delicious coffee. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. The coffee tastes and smells amazing. The macchiato was delicious. . Freshly roasted coffee. They also have matcha and tea. Freshly baked goods, snacks and gift items. I tried their Positano lotion. Omg ... smells and feels heavenly. I regret not buying it but I will next time I'm in town. Overall a great place to stop by to get coffee and more.

Came here on a weekend morning. There was a bit of a line hut the baristas moved so fast and efficiently that the line moved along pretty quickly. I dont think I had to wait more than 10 minutes. I came back again for their matcha latte which I love. Next time I will try a baked good. But I needed something warm for the morning before heading down to the beach. The metered parking isnt too bad if you come early enough there is plenty of metered spots in front of the caffe. They also have a great patio seating area so people can bring their pets and family and kids with them. The baristas were friendly and provided great service too. It's a great local spot I like to stop by when I have time on the weekend mornings.

Beautiful little coffee house on the main strip offering teas, coffee, baked goods, and breakfast burritos. Service was fast... And the coffee is delicious. They offer indoor seating as well as a bunch of covered and uncovered outdoor seating too.

As a coffee enthusiast, I've been wanting to try this place out, so glad I did!... upon entering I was met with a moderately longline, that was moving along quickly as it was before 11am, ladies were there post their work out session, business people, waiting to get their morning fix of caffeine...as there was someone at the counter ringing people up, the other barista was asking the next in line what they wanted- so line was moving pretty fast... ( I love an efficient barista ) I had my eyes set on the signature drink Caffe Nico.... Iced... WOW.... It was pleasing to the palate. You can tell it was a well-extracted espresso with creamy, nutty, velvety mouthfeel and with the very light hint of citrus at the end... very low- acidity, with a bright body taste finish... can't wait to try their other signature coffees. The place is fairy roomy, with a patio out front, and a sitting area on the other side.... They even had body lotion products, I sampled a rose lotion- it smelled so divine... I might purchase it on my next visit....

Came here after walking around in Manhattan Beach. Nice and clean place. I was not familiar with the menu so I just ordered a ice coffee, called the honey buzz. It was a little pricey for what I got. It was a shot of espresso and a lot of whole milk froth and very little ice. Don't get me wrong it was tasty but not worth it. I was a bit disappointed.

The customer service wasn't great. I understand it was early, but the person helping us (possibly the owner) had a bit of a smug attitude. Unfortunately, the coffee also tasted off--more like bitter milk than coffee. I couldn't finish the drink so I tossed it.

Cafe Luxxe in Manhattan Beach continues to be one of those neighborhood spots that feels equal parts polished and relaxed. I came here to avoid the line across the street at another favorite spot, Paradise Bowls. On this visit I'd land at a solid 4 out of 5 stars, a really enjoyable stop with just a few small things that kept it from perfection. There was about a 10-minute line which gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted. I ordered the honey espresso while my daughter went with the strawberry dolce. Both drinks delivered on flavor and presentation. My honey drink had a beautiful, layered look and a smooth sweetness, though I will say it came with quite a bit of foam. It wasn't the classic dense cappuccino-style foam, more like light micro-bubbles that gave it an airy texture. Not bad at all, just a little different than expected. The strawberry coffee was the standout surprise: bright, slightly fruity, and balanced well enough that it still felt like a true coffee drink rather than a dessert. We also each got a breakfast burrito, which were hearty without feeling overly heavy. The real highlight was the sauce, a zesty, tangy salsa-verde style drizzle that added just the right amount of kick and freshness. It tied everything together and elevated what could have been a standard breakfast item into something memorable. Each bite had a nice contrast between the warm filling and that vibrant sauce. The atmosphere remains classic Manhattan Beach, clean, energetic, and perfect for people-watching while you sip your coffee. Service felt efficient and friendly, even during a busy stretch. We sat outside in the side patio, which has several tables. Overall, Cafe Luxxe delivers a strong experience with creative drinks and flavorful food. A few tweaks to foam balance and it's probably a five-star morning. Still, definitely worth the stop, especially if you're exploring their specialty beverages.

Desserts

Great handcrafted coffee place, a league above Starbucks. Friendly baristas, lovely outdoor seating, perfect seaside weather -- what's not to like? :-) I got the Pistachio Holiday drink, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I licked the chocolate they lined the cup with!

Teas
Ellen S.

Clean, minimalist, posh cafe with creative drinks (coffee, teas and non caffeinated drinks). Service is friendly and they work quickly. They have a mini cap, which we've never seem at other cafes. It's a small cappuccino which sometimes is the perfect amount after a meal (whereas a regular size is just too much), the honey buzz is light, sweet (but not overly sweet) with a strong robust espresso flavor. It's iced and tasty! The black tea latte is also very nice. The cafe also has specialty items - jams, teas, shortbreads, etc Very nice place!

As you enter
Vanesa R.

After dinner we were looking for a spot to have some coffee and pastries and just hang with some friends and came across this spot and instantly fell in love with the vibes, simplicity and amazing customer service. This little spot had a shared outside patio space and indoor seating as well. The open concept is great case at times you feel a bit crammed. The service was great, even though we showed up 45 min before the closed they still helped us and appreciate that. The tea they had was great and loved the way they served it. The rest of the group had coffee and they said it was good and strong and that only means Fresh and Great coffee beans. I had their Apple cake pastry that was so good and not sweet at all and we devoured it next time we'll get it warm but was still great and their chocolate chip cookie was great and the hint of salt was the cherry topper I love sweet and salty. The ambiance was great, not too loud and love the patio seating outside for a group of 4. Their bathroom was clean and a good size. Loved their little side walk that has some funky and hilarious cars that you can purchase along with other fun gift giving items and merch. There are many coffee shops here in the downtown area but h the some stood out for sure. Can't wait to be back..

Caffè Nico ($6.75)  06-05-2025

I love Caffè Luxxe! Their coffee is smooth & luxurious! This shop is located in Downtown Manhattan Beach on Manhattan Ave. Metered street parking is out front. There is no indoor seating available here. Just outside to the side there is a courtyard with seating. Next door is a bookstore and I'm thinking their clients may share this space. I can't say I felt very welcomed here, but the two men might have just been in work mode. A little bit of congeniality sprinkled in would be nice. The one guy asked me what I wanted and I told him. I ordered the Caffè Nico which was made while I was standing at the counter waiting to pay with the other guy. He handed me my drink and I paid. They have a loyalty program. There was another customer who had his loyalty rewards number added so he could get points. The guy helping me didn't ask me and I asked him if he could input mine. Unfortunately, he told me it was too late and that I should've told him before I paid. Well, I wasn't too happy about that situation. The saving grace to my experience here was that I enjoyed the coffee. It was served without a lid so one can see the latte art. Over where the condiments are is where you can find lids and cup sleeves. Near the bottom of the Caffè Nico it gets gritty, I think with the candied orange & cinnamon spices. It's a shame that this is the closest location to me. I may give them another chance in hopes for a better experience. I prefer the shop in Long Beach, but it is further away. (Yelp is hosting a Yelp Elite Experience Event here during the week and I didn't make it on that list.)

Love that there's a Caffe Luxxe in this area! Can't go wrong with any drink. Recently tried the shakerato al pistacchio off the holiday menu - didn't taste too much pistachio but was still delicious and not overly sweet. Staff are always welcoming and friendly too!

This is a small-ish, relatively outdoors coffee shop in Manhattan Village, located in Manhattan…read moreBeach. The menu is large with some Asian fusion options, which I always appreciate. You'll find some (rather skinny) breakfast burritos and pastries, too. I love a good Nutella Latte, so I had to try it. Not sure I tasted a strong hazelnut flavor, but I did enjoy my drink. My date had the Tiramisu Cold Brew, which he unfortunately did not enjoy. We took it home and propped it up with some oatmilk - but the cold brew taste just didn't seem to jive well with the tiramisu flavor. Prices are on the higher end, but comparable to other places in Manhattan, Redondo or Torrance. Service was pleasant and efficient. Though a line formed behind us, it moved quite quickly. Reborn is in the same area as Joey's, Alo, California Pizza Kitchen, Saint & Second, and some retailers. Free parking is available not far from the location, though it can get busy during peak weekend hours so plan accordingly.

I've already been here three times with my daughter, and each visit has been consistently good…read more I'm a matcha girl and usually order their Blueberry Matcha with a matcha cream top, and I truly enjoy it every time. My daughter is more of a coffee person and sticks with her usual: vanilla latte with caramel and cinnamon, and sometimes she'll add a cream top depending on her mood. Both of us have been happy with our drinks. Customer service has been solid on each visit, and service is fast, which I always appreciate. They also offer indoor and outdoor seating, plus a selection of donuts, breakfast burritos, and other bites. The space has always been clean when we've gone. If you're ever in the area and craving matcha or coffee, Reborn is definitely a spot that will hit the craving.

The Hive is one of my go-to spots in Manhattan Beach.

You get that laid-back beach vibe with a great view, and it's ideal whether you're grabbing a quick bite before heading back to the sand for volleyball or settling in for a chill remote work session. It really feels like a local staple--easy, consistent, and exactly what you want when you're trying to eat well but still enjoy the whole Manhattan Beach lifestyle.

All the servers were warm and beyond the usual helpfulness. My friend saw an empty table they needed to be wiped so she asked a server for a towel to wipe it. He immediately said, "No, I'll do it." And he grabbed a towel and wiped in extra well with a smile. Two of us ordered the Buddha vegan bowl (9/10; quinoa was fluffy, tofu was tasty but a little firm for me, everything else about it was fresh and well-done. The mushroom serving was my favorite part.) My friend ordered the Beef Macro bowl (9/10: beef was the best part and everything else was good. The wild rice was tender; but it tastes "healthy"). My last friend ordered the salmon bowl (9/10: all of us raved about the salmon. Had the same wild rice. I liked it but my friend said it was too soft for her. The rest of the items that came with it were similar and tasty). Before I left, Molly helped me order a mushroom reishi hot chocolate drink. Molly was so sweet and helpful. She recommended the homemade almond milk. (8/10). The ambiance was warm and cozy. I loved the multi-level structure. Therefore, the name, "The Hive". Cute design and a good place to bring a computer and have a quiet spot to chill.

Not busy at all on a Friday afternoon!…read more Was able to find parking, walk, order and receive my order all in about 10 minutes. Got an apple fritter (only available on Fridays) and a Vietnamese iced coffee! The person who helped me was kind and quick. They informed me that if you download their app you get a free donut and coffee on your next visit! Inside is quite cramped and there is only 2 tables outside for seating so keep that in mind if you plan to stay here to enjoy your doughnuts. Apple Fritter was great! Not as crispy as I normally like but the inside was very fluffy and warm, not too sweet. 9/10 Vietnamese Iced Coffee was okay, stronger than I personally like but it's still good. 7/10 Would happily come back to try other donuts and drinks :)

So after a whirlwind of a day 1 on my 36 hr foodie trip to SoCal with my mother and 2 siblings-we…read moredecided to start Day 2 at a donut shop my brother had been telling me for weeks about this spot that was the best donut shop he has ever been-to which I always just rolled my eyes thinking "yeah right".Ive been to places-I've visited some of the best donuts shops in America-I always make it a point to find the best donut shops when I go to various cities within my travels-so yeah I didn't take his claim too seriously but I was definitely open to check it out-we headed to Sidecar Doughnuts in Manhattan Beach as soon as we woke up. This shop is located in a multi tenant shopping mall on N Sepulveda Blvd-so parking is plentiful-a true breeze. When we got in the shop I could tell this was not your everyday small town donut shop-there was a certain elegance to the design,the menu,the presentation and the donuts themselves. I also liked that they had a sampler donut out so a newbie customer like myself could try out their treats before deciding what to go with. These donuts aren't cheap by any means-they are going to cost you anywhere from $4.50 to $6.00 each-but this is one of those occasions where you truly get what you pay for-higher quality donuts come with higher prices and they are worth every penny. After a quick look at their impressive unique offerings we decided to go with the following donuts. Huckleberry-This donut was served warm and had a clean authentic flavor of huckleberry glaze with little bits of huckleberry infused-nothing artificial here-a true standout of a donut-9.3/10.0 item Butter and Salt-This may be their flagship donut,though huckleberry may give it a run for its money-This is a must try-great twist between sweet and salt with a light crisp exterior and super soft inside-this one surprised me-truly addictive with it's simplicity -8.9/10.0 item Magic Charm-This truly was Lucky Charms in donut form-talk about nostalgia in a donut-the glaze offers the milk flavor and the cereal toppings come in hard with the Lucky Charms topping-awesome trip down memory lane with this donut-8.7/10.0 item This trip these were the 3 I tried-others in the family tried others but I didn't get a chance to try em-so will leave rating those for next time. In closing-I hate to admit this,but I think my personal " Donut Wars" are over-in my opinion Sidecar Doughnuts is the best donut shop around and if you ever find yourself in the area and get a chance to try out their treats-Do It-In fact change your plans to get there-it's so worth it. PS-I wonder what they could do if they tried their hand at a maple bar one day.....
