    Being in a strip mall is a certain win as it meant dedicated parking spaces and yes it's free! Also IYKYK, strip mall around this area was typically coming in decent size and so did the parking. Well-lit venue, plenty of seats and even abundant plugs. As expected, you could see tons of guests were studying and working. Not few even came in bigger group. Not realizing that they provided detailed version of the menu, I initially was thrown off looking at the wall menu as most of the names weren't familiar. Thanks to the helpful attendant, making me going for what she said as one of their favorites; the latte served with honey, vanilla, and cinnamon - called as miel. Being the specialist in beans as well, no doubt the coffee was of great quality. One tip, if you weren't that much into sweet, you might wanna customize it and request for less sweet.

    Pure Coffee in Manhattan Beach is a great spot for a relaxed coffee break. The coffee is smooth, fresh, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere is clean and welcoming, and it's an easy place to sit, chat, or get a little work done. Friendly service and quality drinks make it a solid go-to for locals and visitors alike.

    Exceptional selection of coffee beans, including numerous single origins. Great merch too!

    There were a number of positives about visiting Pure Bean coffee today. It's a very well designed space. Spacious but not overly so. Numerous four person tables with chairs. A very nice long elevated table with lots of comfortable stools (that are way too noisy to move around, unless you pick them up). A barista that creates extremely impressive latte art (I mean seriously impressive). A very nice selection of branded merch, including the legendary Airscape coffee storage canisters (everyone should have at least one of these). AND to top it all off, an extremely extensive variety of well sourced coffee beans (including numerous single origins). The service was excellent, everyone was nice. The coffee was very good too. Pure Bean also boasts a very high tech roasting process known as Air Roasting. Honestly, the only negative thing about Pure Bean was their single origin decaf that is processed using the so called "natural" sugar cane method (IYKYK). I really can't understand why a coffee roaster who would go to such great lengths to do so many things so right, would use anything less than the "Swiss Water Process" to create their decaf.

    Popped in today for the first time and the Cafe and its open space were very appealing.I saw people working on their laptops inside snd a group of women chatting at their outside table. We were greeted when we walked in and the Barista did a really good job at explaining and highlighting what drinks there offer. I ordered a matcha cherry blossom drink and it was nice My friend had a iced Cafe Miel , it was very nicely balanced We shared a ham And cheese baguette and they cut it in half for us. Overall very cute and definitely worth checking out

    Feels like a promising place where they have a good variety of high quality beans. For the time I visited, my friend ordered a latte and I ordered a honey lavender latte. My drink was good where the coffee and sweetener was well balanced. It wasn't too bitter and not overly sweet. My friend's latte was unfortunately under extracted so it ended up more sour. We were in a rush so didn't get a chance to ask to remake the drink, but hoping it'll be better in the future.

    The coffee and food options are here are solid. The latte I got was well-balanced. The food, likewise. In addition to that, the parking in ample, and it's a perfect place to get some work done.

    What??? This place opened about 3 years ago and I haven't been around in a few years and I think I found my new Favorite place for Coffee but I don't come to the beach our here anymore and it is far away.... Anyhow I really did find my new favorite place for coffee now to make excuses to come out this far for a good cup of coffee.... I ordered a Pour Over Drip with what they called a true light roast...FYI they roast their own beans in Idyllwild which is quite the distance from this location. Basically it was the Ethiopia bag I took a pic of....It's actually hard to find a lot of coffee shops that do a light roast nowadays most go with a medium to light or medium to dark roast.... BEN is the one who did my pour over and I spoke to him a really cool guy who knew a good amount about the beans and coffee and what he enjoyed as well....overall he was quite knowledgeable and I feel he loves coffee! The layout is pretty spacious and clean i sat next to the baristas because they were somewhat busy when I got there....but it's okay.... I got one more pour over because I wanted to try their Medium/Light roast as well...Pronghorn...It was pretty good as well but still prefer the first one.... 5 Stars Coffee 5 Stars Employees 5 Stars Service 5 Stars Ambiance Equals AWESOME COFFEE Shop!!!!!!!

    The Gwen Stefani

    They had the cutest drink names ever! It was named after famous celebrities. My sister and I both got the Gwen Stefani, which has espresso, banana milk & organic chocolate sauce. It was pretty good! I do wish there was a stronger banana flavor, but it was still tasty. It also wasn't overly sweet which I appreciated. Workers were so nice and helpful. There were plenty of tables inside and seems like a great place to study or work. I def want to come back to try other drinks like their Lindsay Lohan matcha!

    Once again, Pure Bean supplied me with a savory latte, unique in taste. Try the wildflower honey, cinnamon latte! Sucha treat, and, Ben, the barista makes a beaut of a Pegasus trotting on top.

I had a coffee, which was good and hit the spot, and my friend ordered the grilled cheese with a fruit plate - simple, comforting, and nicely done. Service was good and staff friendly. One cool detail out front is a small wishing tree where you can hang tags, which adds a fun, thoughtful touch to the place. The gift shop next door was bright and festive, perfect for the holidays, and a great spot to pick up some last-minute, unique gifts you don't see everywhere. Overall, a really pleasant café and shop combo that's worth checking out.

I'm an adult woman, almost 48, and I don't appreciate being told how I should behave in a disrespectful way. At one point, an employee even told me not to talk to other customers--even when they were the ones starting conversations with me. That felt like bullying. Thankfully, that employee is no longer there, but the overall attitude still hasn't fully improved. I've been bringing my two dogs with me for a long time without any issues. Recently, I was told I can't use the bathroom anymore--even just to quickly wash my hands before eating. I understand rules about dogs not being allowed in certain areas, and that was explained properly, but the way everything was handled felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. Because of this shift in attitude, I've noticed other customers have stopped coming as well, like Alex and Trisha. Some people have even mentioned that the overall environment and customer treatment aren't as good as they used to be. It's disappointing, because this used to be a place I really liked. Now it feels like the attitude has changed, and not in a good way.

Not sure what it is or if its me personally for whatever reason, but, despite being super friendly 100% of the time, the owner just acts kind of rude and unfriendly to me for literally no reason at all. I promise I don't smell bad and I brush my teeth before I come. I smell really good. I promise! I think the owner is probably on some hipster nonsense bs energy. Cool man...yeah man... It's a shame because its literally the owner who is the rude one in my experience, not any of his staff. His staff never gives me any of his same stinky vibes. P.U. dude... Sorry, but I don't need to feel tension or your bad energy when I'm paying you like $7 for a flat white that takes you 30 seconds to make for me. Sorry to be such a big bother for asking about some of your food items to see if they are vegan so I could possibly pay you more money to buy a food product from you. SORRY FOR TRYING TO SUPPORT YOUR BUSINESS BY GIVING YOU BUSINESS WITH MY MONEY!!! SORRY!!! Okay?!! :( When you started rolling your eyes or exhaling that passive aggressive breath out because I was such a bother to you, it was in that moment, yesterday morning, that I left Gitana knowing that I wouldn't come back. From now on, I'll go buy the $7 flat white at Caffe Luxxe in MB located the exact same distance from my place. They do not have delicious food like you do, but they also don't have any of your attitude. Positive attitude to your friendly customers is WAY MORE IMPORTANT than sticking to your pretentiousness and icky, terrible vibes. Sorry if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and decided to be Oscar the Grouch to me while I was Elmo. Elmo sad now. Elmo REAL SAD. :( :( :( Caffe Luxxe it is because, even though I kind of like your café better, I like being treated with respect WAY MORE than I will ever like your coffee. It is what it is...
