There isn't a lot of seating, but it's a clean and modern open space with coffee roasting machines on the side. Pricing is reasonably moderate for the freshness and high quality. The service is very efficient. It is located within a decent size free parking lot. There are a couple of restaurants there too, so it's easy to grab a coffee or tea after a meal.

Their coffee is so smooth & I love the uniqueness of their summer menu! There was also a yuzu lemon curd matcha option. Also, the staff here is great!

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.

Verve is a cold coffee spot located in Manhattan Beach. Super nice area plenty of parking and…read morethere's a lot of shops around but it was pretty quiet. Nice chill vibe to it. The service was good and the hot chocolate came out pretty fast and my friend drinks also came out pretty fast. So I'm not a big coffee person, but I got their hot chocolate and it was cool. I'd like that I had a little whipped cream flour on top of it. The presentation of it was awesome as far as the hot chocolate itself. It was OK. It's not the best hot chocolate I've had good flavor, good consistency, but it could've had something more. I'm not exactly what the more could've been but it was OK.

I'd been to the El Segundo location of Offset once before, a few years ago, and didn't love it, but…read moreI found the Manhattan Beach location to be considerably better. I don't quite remember when this location but I believe it's been here for less than a year. Since our first visit here, we've been here multiple times and I've enjoyed their flavored matcha drinks and coffees. There isn't much in the way of ambiance because there's only a tiny section of the store to stand in to order, and then you have to wait on the street to get your coffee. Service has always been friendly and quick. They also have a range of pastries available. I've liked the drinks on a number of occasions here, however when we visited last weekend, I got an unsweetened matcha latte that just tasted like almond milk. I would recommend visiting this place if you just want a grab and go coffee.

Been hooked on their strawberry matcha! Best one in town…read more Doesn't have that bitter aftertaste that matcha drinks usually have and it's not too sweet either. Just perfection.

The Boy and the Bear is a pretty impressive coffee roaster that has a lot of attention to detail…read more They have seven locations in LA from Pasadena to Redondo, and they're expanding soon to San Diego. While you certainly can come here for lattes and matcha, what jumped out at us were their offerings of light roasted, single origin, pour over coffees in their "emerald class". I went with their light roasted "la reserva" pour over, which had nice tea-like flavors. Because they lightly roast their beans and hand pour the coffee through a V60 filter, the fruity and tea-like notes of the beans pop out in ways you can't find in dark roasts brewed through a machine. We may come by to get a latte one of these days; however, I do also want to come back to try more of their "emerald series" pour overs!

He did not rush anything or anyone, just made a beautiful looking and great tasting drink! Ordered a hot nico, no half and half, substitute almond milk.

The Honey Buzz was super delicious and smooth! I really enjoyed it and would repurchase again…read more I love Manhattan Beach but I definitely have a love/ hate relationship - sometimes parking can be a pain, especially on the weekend and/ or when I just want to pop in places and pop out. Regardless, I still keep going and will continue to because I love this city and the views are incredible! I've been to other Caffe Luxxe locations and this one has the same aesthetic, which I love. Staff are very friendly. There was a line but it went by fast. Parking on the weekend is hard to find, at least in my experience. During the week, it's much easier to find parking, especially if you go in the morning.

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.

Other than conveniently located in my office building, this coffee shop is the worst. I've been…read moregoing here daily for over a year...so I say this with some level of experience. The coffee isn't that great. Neither is anything coming out of that kitchen. Any why can't this place keep their area behind the glass clean and organized? It's so messy back there. The WORST is the service. Just bad all around. This sentiment is shared by most of the people in my office. Again, if not for the convenient location, none of us would ever step into this place.
