    Had a brunch date with a friend and we decided to eat here. We both really liked it! We sat outside and enjoyed the weather. They also have tables inside but outside became our fave. I usually get the avocado toast and that's a 10/10 Service is always very friendly!

    Cinnamon roll
    Jennifer H.

    Very cute cafe with delicious food. Highly recommend. Got pesto chicken sandwich with mom's potato salad (not pictured). Cinnamon roll, veggie breakfast wrap with fruit and cold brew. Staff was friendly and food came out pretty quickly, however they brought the food first, then the drinks, then the cinnamon roll. Check this spot out!

    Stopped by the cute, cozy & relaxing Gum Tree Café for coffee with my husband & ended up enjoying so much more. We had delicious avocado egg toast, tomato soup, great coffee & a wonderful pumpkin latte. The staff was very friendly & helpful, which made the experience even better. Next door is a charming gift shop filled with festive, unique holiday finds. Out front, there's a thoughtful wishing tree where you can write a wish on a tag & hang it on the branches...lovely touch. II'm ready to stop in again for another pumpkin latte!

    Spiced Chai Latte
    Ruchita S.

    Gumtree makes the best spice chai in this town! I say this as somebody who grew up making chai authentically from scratch. The barista is super sweet and friendly. Can't wait to go back! The vibe of the cafe was also very cozy and inviting. I enjoyed getting some productive work done while sipping on my creamy, oat milk chai.

    Turkey Sandwich (added bacon)
    Alejandra D.

    Came for a coffee and instead got a turkey sandwich and the potato leak soup. I'm so glad I listened to the cashier because he did not lie about the soup. It's amazing! The sandwich was just ok, but will definitely be back for the soup. They also have seem to have good lattes, but will have to come back for that. We hadn't planned on sitting, but everyone was so friendly and the chatter of everyone enjoying their meals in the beautiful weather made us stay.

    Cafe Latte and treat!
    Julia K.

    Still absolutely delicious in spite of a tiny kitchen. Has adorable patio with a surprisingly large amount of seating, and the best view in all of Hermosa Beach. Nothing has changed in all the years. This establishment has operated except the prices have gone up. But who has not experienced that?! Try the delicious lavender latte for a spring time treat!

    Bayview and Pier

    Light and fresh Australian breakfast place. Tiny/cosy inside. Beautiful outdoor seating. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The salsa was spectacular. Serving sizes are a little on the smaller side. Coffee was good. The pastries inside included overpriced tim tams. The the person taking my order came off to me as standoffish and impatient. Luckily the rest of the service from the other people were helpful and friendly. This cafe also has a small shop with really fun goods to look at!

    Cafe Mocha, cinnamon roll
    Ross W.

    Went just to get a mocha but ended up getting their Homemade cinnamon roll because it looked so good! They were both presented amazing and the mocha had a beautiful chocolate design in it that I wasn't expecting. The service was quick and good and you pay up front and they'll bring everything out to you. Inside has a white clean look to everything and very inviting. Only issue is there's little parking so it can be a little tougher to get to.

    Lavender lattes
    Rebecca T.

    I haven't had an Aussie pie in such a long time, so I was thrilled to find a café that served it (as well as Australian coffee). Ordered the chicken curry Aussie pie and a lavender latte before grabbing a seat outside on the patio overlooking the street, with a decent view of the promenade and beach from the distance. Aussie pie had a good, hearty crust, and the curry was strong and flavorful, but my god was the chicken so dry, to the point it was almost unbearable to eat. The lavender latte was cute in the mug, but there was a notable sour aftertaste which I didn't really care for. Overall, it was just okay, but the location and views made up for it!

    Food here is p bougie. Like I got a Brie cheese and peach jam sandwich. That was pretty good even tho cheese and jam wouldn't seem good together. The scone was dry bc scones are dry but the flavor was also good. The bacon egg and mushroom sandwich was probably the least fav. There was too much bread so that was dry when some sauce could be added to be bussin. The price was very expensive but ig that's bc we are like 10 min walk to the beach so it's a nice vibe. I guess u would go for the experience and nice atmosphere bc beach. But they had a screen that went behind a the fence probably to protect people from falling but the screen was pretty dirty.

    Ambiance: cozy home style brunch place, and its next door is the gift shop, two businesses sharing the same establishment, street metered parking only Service: friendly and patient with questions about their signatures and speciality, attentively served water and food Food & Drink: variety choices from the menu and daily specials, they strive to use organic and locally sourced ingredients Avocado Toast - **** breakfast special, half toast, topped with arugula, egg whites, feta cheese, pesto drizzle, unique combinations, recommend Meat Pie - **** Aussie pie, ground beef, diced carrots, celery, onion, gravy, served with tomato sauce, crispy outside and juicy inside, recommend Mixed Greens - *** side dish, rotten leaves, not very fresh Fruits - *** side dish, not so fresh either Cafe Mocha - **** beautiful latte art and sweet taste, recommend Price: moderate portions and reasonable prices, expect $20+ per person

Great location. Short walk to the beach after your meal. Go early or prepare to wait a bit. I'd say 15-20 mins for a couple and double for a larger party than 4.

    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!

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.

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 .
