    Enjoyed the beautiful ambiance, great sandwich, coffee and pastry. Very close to the strand. Service was great and personable. It was a cozy visit indeed. I would definitely come back.

    The food, the service, the quiet ambience was so amazing from start to finish. This gem of quiet intimate dinner experience is one of a kind in the South Bay. Scott & Mary will not disappoint with the food and wine and quiet dinner experience that is so hard to find in the South Bay. Please book yourselves a dinner that will want you coming back to try more!

    Ricotta Pancakes with Berry Compote

    Absolutely delicious! The ricotta pancakes were fluffy as a cloud and practically melted in my mouth. The Garden 2 was delicious as well, and the Austrian coffee is an absolute must-have. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

    Delicious hibiscus tea

    I am so excited about this place. What a hidden gem! The caprese sandwich is delicious, I love the drinks, the hibiscus tea is my favorite. The peaceful, calm interior almost feels spa like. The staff is extra helpful and always friendly. I plan to go there daily for my tea

    Cendrillon Doré Pancake

    Covinten Cafe is such an amazing place to be where you can spend some quiet time. The ambience is quite soothing. Always have had a pleasant time there. I ordered the Cendrillon Doré Pancake. It looks so appetizing but tastes even better. Such a filing plate. There's a burst of flavour in your mouth. Cafe is highly recommended.

    Covinten is exactly what Hermosa Beach needed. The moment you walk in, you feel the care and intention behind everything -- from the friendly staff to the beautifully balanced drinks. My coffee was smooth, flavorful, and clearly crafted with pride. The space is bright, inviting, and perfect for slowing down or getting a little work done. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

    Drinks menu

    Covinten Café is a really nice surprise in Hermosa Beach. It has this laid-back tropical feel, but there is also a subtle French vibe going on that makes it feel a little more special than your usual coffee stop. I had the sangria tea and loved it. It was super refreshing and not overly sweet, and the edible flower was such a cool touch. It actually tasted fresh and clean, not just something thrown in for looks, which made the whole drink feel thoughtful and different. The place is welcoming, the kind of place you want to sit for a bit instead of rushing out. Definitely feels like something new for the area, and I will for sure be coming back.

    Everything about this place is beautiful! They executed such an immaculate ambiance here! The food and pastries options are great and several steps above what other places have to offer. They are very nice here and I loved my experience. I'm glad I was able to stop by while I was in town. I would come again! I hope they have great success!

    J.'adore coffee drink

    The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The drinks were also very good with perfect presentation . The soft music and the exquisite decoration made it feel very upscale. The service was top notch. I would definitely return.

    Ricotta berry pancakes. Really good and filling!

    Fancy looking place with great tasting and visually appealing food. Ordered the ricotta pancakes and am pleased with what I got.

So when we heard they were opening a new location in the Redondo Village, we were excited. Even more so to learn they'd be offering dinner and cocktails as well. For a newly opened location, we were thrilled to see they were already well staffed. Coffee and water were served quickly, giving us time to look over the menu. The moment I closed the menu, a server was right there ready to take our order. It was really busy when we visited, so we expected a wait for our food, but no, 10 minutes later our omelette and eggs Benedict arrived. A few minutes after that, the owner stopped by to chat, and we learned how they were able to open the restaurant so quickly. (Turns out it wasn't quick at all, they'd been looking for a location for quite some time.) We were so impressed that we went back two days later for a late afternoon sandwich. The Village was already thriving, but with Martha's here, it just keeps getting better.

The environment was chill and relaxed and it was nice to be seated in the back area, away from the hustle and bustle. If you're looking for a hangout place after work, this would be a nice happy hour spot. A downside is that with the restaurant being two floors, it's not stroller/ kid friendly. We had to park our stroller downstairs and lug all our stuff upstairs.

I had a pretty solid positive outlook on them. I ordered the "French Toast Latte". I feel like it should have been called the Burnt toast latte. I genuinely took 3 sips and tossed it away in the trash can on the side walk. I tried to mix it and grabbed a straw to do so and it made it WORSE. I'm extremely disappointed that I wasted $7 on a latte. I've had bad coffees before, but this one took the cake. It tasted like milk, and the espresso tasted acidic, burnt have you. At least with other bad coffees I could stomach at least half of it but this was just really acidic. I noticed other people mentioning the coffee scene in LA isn't the same anymore and this attested to that. They started picking up foot traffic & I wasn't going to wait to ask for a remake or anything, I took the L and life moves on. I wasn't going to play Karen about it. The Lamington pastry somewhat saved the experience. This was an extremely moist, spongy, sweet cake that was delicious with coconut flakes on top. She was AMAZING. I snagged a piece off my friends and it was reeallllly good. I would recommend if you like coconut and a softer spongy cake like pastry! Talk about the underdog in this trip. The aesthetic is cute, it's clean and resembles a house. I like the scheme they have going on. The other half looks like a gift shop that I did not go into. They have a restroom available as well inside. Customer service was just customer service. Nothing amazing or bad about it. Pretty standard. We mentioned it's our first time & the girl didn't really care lol. We had questions and it was very whatever kind of vibe. No enthusiasm. Parking would be on the street so good luck!

At my latest adventure at this place, and I have had problems before, I ordered their Croque Monsieur, which is my main go-to at this cafe. I've gotten it so many times I can't even count the number. The way our order arrived was first my wife's quiche was brought out. Then, several minutes later, our lattes arrived. Don't you hate it when your drinks are delivered after your meal? Then, about twenty minutes later, they brought out my Croque Monsieur. I was about to go and ask where it was when I finally see a staff member coming out with it. The problem was, she brought it to me in a to-go container. They brought my wife's quiche out on a plate, our lattes in mugs, so why was there any confusion? We never ordered anything to-go! From that, we had to go inside and ask for silverware, a plate, and all of that kind of stuff. Just an annoying waste of time! This may seem like a small thing. And, it is. But, this stuff has been going on a lot lately. They really need to get their staff under control, get them listening to their customers, and bring their customers what they ordered. The other problem I have with this place is that it has become overrun with flies. It's really annoying! I mean, we were just batting flies away from our table the whole time we were sitting there. As were a lot of other people. Looking at the open tables and chairs, there were flies just resting on them. I realize this is not their fault. And there's probably nothing they can do about it. But, it's really becoming an annoying experience to eat here, not only in terms of service but in terms of flies. They really need to clean up their act. Awh, Cafe Bonaparte, Redondo Beach, where have you gone?
