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

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

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!

Great coffee & great service. There's a nice courtyard to sit and enjoy your beverage or you can take a short stroll to the beach.

The Boy & The Bear is a popular local coffee shop in Redondo Beach (just across from Eat at Joe's)…read morewith local customers often bringing their kids or dogs. Oddly enough their logo reminds me of the logo from Boba Guys. The shop was originally rebranded from The Fika Company and this Redondo Beach location is the flagship store. The Boy & The Bear places a strong emphasis on store design and each location is named after a different color as this one is called the Black Store. Currently, they have multiple locations in Los Angeles (Redondo Beach, Culver City, Westchester, Pasadena, Sherman Oaks, and Gardena) with new shops opening in South Pasadena (Summer 2026) and Little Italy in San Diego (Summer 2026). [Parking]: Metered parking on N Francisca Ave. Otherwise visitors will need to circle around for local street parking. [Atmosphere]: Spacious indoor seating (about five tables) and a bar table & 5-6 small outdoor bench tables and additional cozy outdoor seating. [Menu]: A straightforward coffee menu with only three syrup flavors: mocha, vanilla, and caramel. They also offer teas and various croissants. *** Vanilla latte (to-go & hot - $7.50): No latte art - just a simple hot vanilla latte. It was a solid latte with the right amount of sweetness. *** A nice coffee shop in the South Bay with a good first-date vibe and above-average drinks, but beware of the parking situation.

I ordered vanilla latte and the espresso shot tasted really good…read more The almond yuzu croissant was also extremely delicious and well done I love the atmosphere inside - very relaxing

As a consistent customer of smoky hollow, I'm really disappointed with my recent visits to this…read morecoffee shop. The customer service has noticeably gone downhill. One of the employees in particular has been consistently unpleasant, making the experience feel unwelcoming the moment you walk in. Simple questions or requests are met with attitude instead of courtesy. From the long wait times to the employee taking a nap on the sofa, there has generally been a decline in the customer service in this establishment. On top of that, the quality of the drinks has declined. The espresso is clearly burnt and orders have been inconsistent, poorly made, and definitely not worth the price anymore. This used to be one of my favorite spots, but the combination of rude service and declining drink quality makes it hard to justify coming back. I hope management addresses these issues soon.

Ordered smoothie online. And went to pick it up after 20 minutes. Waited at the pickup counter for…read moreanother 15 minutes and finally asked them what's the holdup. The manager said they ran out of bananas so the order was refunded. I told them I did not receive any refund/cancel notifications, and they respond with "yea we don't do that but we should put a system in place...". Seriously, WTF. This is a coffee shop in an office building. People don't have time to wait around for over 30 minutes for a drink and over an hour for their food. And how do you run out of bananas on a Monday at noon?!! This was not the first time you see the staff just sitting around. Get your shit together and don't waste our time.
