    Cappuccino
    Anastasia L.

    I've only been here a couple of times, and both times I ordered a cappuccino. It was honestly one of the best cappuccinos I've ever had. The coffee was smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced - not bitter and not acidic. The atmosphere feels modern and youthful. Most of the people seem to be students or young professionals working on their laptops, or small groups of friends meeting over coffee. The service was good. I haven't tried the food, so I can't comment on that, but based on the coffee alone, I would definitely recommend this place.

    I stop into Pure Bean every time I am visiting Manhattan Beach, CA! Since my last trip, I have cut coffee from my diet - but love matcha. Their matcha with almond milk is a lovely classic, highly recommend. Really can't beat quality here, no matter what you order! I really appreciate the gluten free & dairy free options.

    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.

    El Jefe is the iced drink.

    Came for the first time last week. Very nice and the person at the register was polite and provided good information on the different coffee selections, patience. Enjoyed El Jefe. Very good, 2 shots. My friend enjoyed her hot drink.

    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!
    Richard R.

    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

    Service & drinks here are always good! The humans that work here are very personable and kind. They smile a lot. I love it. I order the Cafe Miel - it is delicious and hard to find other places, let alone, this good. I added the picture of food because very few people are aware of it. The vibe is good. Music playing but it's good music and not too loud. Good amount of seating, good work space, WiFi available, some outlets, one gender neutral restroom, and everything is very clean. Parking is good (ample) when I come (weekdays, am).

    Delicious coffee and friendly service. Lots of parking and nice selection of coffee beans. Definitely recommend!!

    Specialty Drink Menu
    Amy H.

    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.

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.
