a couple of friends recommended this spot to me and I'm so glad I went! The people there are so incredibly friendly and the coffee was amazing. Definitely have a customer for life in me! read more

Such a solid spot to get your coffee fix. Lovely baristas and there was great music playing. Atmosphere top notch. Good vibes all around! :)

This place was recommended to me, so when I was in the area, I decided to give it a try. I don't know if I went on an off day, but my drink was not good. I ordered the vanilla sky and it had no vanilla flavor and it was extremely bitter. I never want to be wasteful but it was so bad, I ended up throwing it away because it was that awful. There were a lot of people; perhaps they rushed it. Even so, no excuse. I'll maybe give it another try if I'm in the area, but first impression... the drink definitely wasn't good. On a positive note... The cashier was great! Super friendly. : ) read more

Obsessed with the matcha here it is LITERALLY one of the best I've had. It was perfectly made and not overly sweet. The workers are all so nice and have the BEST ENERGY; everyone was super friendly and made the whole vibe feel so welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests. And don't get my started on whoever is on aux because every time I walk in... LITERALLY goes with whatever the vibes are that day. Definitely my new go-to spot! 10/10 highly recommend for a good drink, a good environment to chit chat or study, and be welcomed by your best friends every time. read more

Want good amazing and superb coffee?! Come here! Want strong cold brew that is not bitter?! Come here! Want amazing service from staff!? Then yes come here! Want a place to sit and enjoy your coffee!! Then yes also come here! I ordered the cold brew and the vanilla latte which were great! I like my coffee strong and not too sweet and it was on point! I will definitely be back to try other drinks on the menu such as the Gwen Stefani which called my attention. I also want to try some of their pastries but if you get there later in the day, they will be out of them. Tip: There is plenty of parking at this location except it can get a little busy or difficult to get out of the area because there is a busy GOODWILL store next door which has heavy traffic at all times of the day! read more

Tried one of their signature drinks (Cardigan) and it did not disappoint! Very rich in flavor and not too sweet. Definitely will get it again. This place is pretty spacious and has lots of seatings available. Service was pretty fast and the baristas were also nice! Bummer that their WiFi wasn't working at the time, but management is working on getting it fix as soon as possible. Overall, a nice place to hang out, study, do work, and/or just to grab a coffee! They also have food available such as pastries, yogurts/parfaits, and burritos! read more

Pure Bean - Iced Cardigan w/ oatmilk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Just discovered Pure Bean and I will definitely be coming back. Ordered the white tea and it was delicious. Surprisingly had a subtle hint of sweetness for a drink that was only tea, and nice floral quality to it. Staff were all nice, friendly and welcoming. My favorite part though is definitely the ability to use Pure Bean as a remote working space. They have ample electrical plugs for you to use, they also have soft comfortable seating, and there is plenty of space inside the shop. The cafe is also inside a plaza with tons of parking. read more

I found this place by searching for coffee shops in MB. I'm not in the area often, so I wasn't familiar with the different establishments offered here. I'm glad I came across Pure Bean. I called ahead to see if they had any open seats. The person that answered the phone was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Once you walk in, you will be greeted by whoever is working. I noticed that not one person wasn't greeted while I was sitting here over the course of 3 hours. I ordered the Cardigan with oat milk. The other Yelp reviews highlighting the coffee and beans are truly spot on. Coffee was delicious and my drink wasn't too sweet. It's very clean and modern inside. Plenty of seating to get work done or visit with friends. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area. Free shared parking in the lot that is convenient and easy. read more

Drinks are very creative. they have seasonal drinks named after pop culture references. I got the gwen stefani with espresso, banana milk and chocolate. Employee was kind and patient and supported my processing of their overwhelmingly diverse menu. Lots of space to study and spaced out enough where you don't feel too close to anyone. expect to pay a lot though... look at where you're located read more

Pure Bean - Gwen stefani ((seasonal)) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I've heard good things about Pure Bean, so I decided to head over to check it out on my way to work. I ordered a Cardigan latte and an olive oil cake to-go. It was busy when I went, but the baristas were quick and friendly and I got my order within 10 min. The Cardigan was divine: it's cardamom-fronted, and its blend of milk and spices were smooth and comforting-- I'd 100% get it again. The olive oil cake was delicious, too: moist, slightly crusty, and not too sweet. While I didn't dine in this time around, I'd love to return for a proper brunch. The place is spacious with plenty of natural lighting, offering a bright and welcoming environment. I'll be back! read more

Pure Bean - Cardigan latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Spent a Friday working from here and was pleasantly surprised! I got one of the seasonal drinks (Pumpkin Spice) and it was delicious. They offer free wifi for customers so I was able to spend the full day working and drinking coffee from a table in the cafe. There were others working, as well, with light music in the background, so it made for a good space to focus but also chat / take a quick call if needed. read more

It's been a while since I've come across a coffee shop that excites me Pure Bean has a huge menu of unique drink options and a lovely staff to help you navigate and customize it. I ordered the Hepburn which is typically cold brew with a dash of heavy cream and vanilla, but being pregnant and wanting less caffeine they made it for me with 1/2 caff iced americano and it is by far one of the best drinks I've had in a while! Also love that their beans are clean sourced. The space is conducive for sitting and working - lots of chairs and plenty of outlets for your computer. I haven't tried the food yet but their breakfast burritos and sandwiches are delivered fresh daily from The Rooster, so it sounds like legit food! Highly recommend this place. read more

Pure Bean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Pure Bean is my favorite coffee shop in the South Bay. The shop has the perfect ambiance to study and work at, it is quite cozy with good music. There's quite a few regulars that work from home here and quite a few students from the local schools studying here daily. It is also a good place to catch up and have a coffee at. The coffee and matcha is really good. And, I really enjoy the Avocado Toast as well. The baristas are all really awesome Leo, Ben, Christian, Ash, Ashley, Justin, Ryan, Christine, Kevin, Dana, Lea and Hana and all the other Baristas all do a great job remembering your order and being very welcoming. And, their mission to charity is admirable. read more

Omg let's talk about it! Love. After one visit and super upset I love too damn far away from this cute little place. Ugh!!! The best damn latte I've ever put in my mouth. Like, who invented these crazy concoctions?! And the coffee was smooth and kept me UP FOR HOURS (which it was supposed to do). Powerful punch with great taste. My croissant was good too. All nice and crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. I did some work in here for about three hours. Plenty of power outlets, clean, fair amount of seating. Stat was super nice and worked quickly. Free shared parking lot with plenty of spaces. Paid street parking available as well. I love and appreciate a good cafe. read more

Pure Bean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

One of the things I love about South Bay is all the great coffee shops. We have another winner in Pure Bean, the latest addition to the Manhattan/Hermosa area. Located in what I believe was a former Coffee Bean, we definitely received an upgrade. I have now gone several times, tried multiple items and brought others to try it out... so needless to say, if you are bringing others to the shop, you love it and I do. Let me break it down - Atmosphere 5* - a nice patio, dog friendly outside, clean interior, a community table you can stand at and chat. Plenty of seats with tables to work at, or better, just to chat and enjoy your coffee. Best of all, it's always clean. Service 5* - I've been there enough I've met the owner Fritz who seems to be a really nice guy, new dad and involved with the shop. Some owners are "stay at home" owners, but he has been in the shop each time I've stopped by. The staff are all friendly, share their favorites and can help you find the right cup for you. But what really counts - the COFFEE 5* - the star of the show at Pure Bean is the beans... they have unique coffee options that keep the focus on the coffee... nothing too sweet... just frosting the tips.... I've enjoyed drink I've tried, but my favorite is the Cardigan. It has cardamon in it and it is so good, I'm hooked... I also tried the Afterburner, a blended expresso and protein drink that spoke to my inner refined gym bro... but again, the star is the coffee, I've had the expresso and drip and both are great. Looking forward to my next visit. 2 other notes... I've taken a few people to visit and they all have loved the coffee... one was from Paris and Pure Bean was our first stop... after trying 3 or 4 other shops, he wanted to make sure we went back to Pure Bean before he flew home, as it was his favorite... I would be remiss if I did not point out something I think can be improved, even 5 stars doesn't mean it's perfect... I'm not a big fan of the pastries... they tasted too commercial to me. Luckily that's not why I go, but I felt compelled to share. read more

Underrated coffee spot in South Bay! I'm a simple coffee kinda gal - drip, iced, cold brew - black, maybe some cream. Pure Bean has a great brew - flavorful & I have never had a bad cup. Never bitter, never tastes like dirt or burnt. The staff is charming and helpful. The ambiance is calm but warm - tons of seating and places to work or study. I come here when I'm too lazy to make my own or when I want to treat myself. read more

Best drip coffee ever, staff are very friendly, and the ambiance is amazing! Will definitely be coming back.

Happen to be running errands on Sunday after church and remembered hearing about this place. Glad it was open as I needed my morning coffee. The treats looked good. Maybe next time. I ordered the dark roast of the day, Golden Bear, a medley of several flavors. Service was friendly and fast. The place is very clean. May be a good work space. Parking in the small lot. Will be back! read more

I found this coffee shop almost by accident while grocery shopping across the street. There is an easy to miss sign and the shop itself is pushed back from the street in a shopping center. But I'm so happy I did!! Since they are a roaster I expected good coffee and was not disappointed :) I had a Flat White, my Mom had a Latte and we both enjoyed them. We also had some goodies, banana nut muffin & chocolate chip cookie, that were tasty and went well with the coffee. I do plan on picking up some beans next time. The shop is spacious with plenty of seating inside & some outsider, a large bar & places to work (w/ outlets). The decor is minimal and the lighting is moderate, plenty bright enough to work but soft enough the be relaxing. I enjoyed the vibe of this place, it's very comfortable. Baristas are very friendly and made great drinks. There is ample parking in the shared lot and they are open till 5pm which is pretty late for the Southbay LOL read more

Espresso is ok, service is subpar, ambience ok. Not close to great experience for the price point. .Always difficult to find a spot to sit unless you want to hear everyone as the seating is literally net to each other. read more

Yes, I recommend this business. Very nice. They take their time in creating that special custom drink to order. I had a latte. My cup started out filled with hot water as an initial warmer. After the espresso was ready, the barista emptied the cup; poured the espresso; and poured the steamed milk. The establishment is sleek and clean, not cluttered. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Free Wi-Fi. It's a great place to just relax with a latte. Parking: Plenty of free, shared strip mall parking. read more

Pure Bean Is a fun new coffee location that's recently opened up in Manhattan Beach. They have a nice selection of the various coffee drinks, the kind that you would expect, all made to order.They also have a few bakery items to snack on while you're enjoying your coffee orientated drink. The interior space of this business is very inviting. It is open and airy and the tables are nicely spaced apart. Plus, they have counter space where you can sit, work in your computer, and stuff like that. In terms of enjoying your drinks outdoors, they have very nice bench style seating along with some chairs to compliment the small tables where you can rest your drinks. They have a very interesting process of creating your drinks at this location. What the barista does is to first fill the cup with warm water. They then empty the water before they actually create your drink within the mug. Of course, you get a nice design on the top of your latte, which is always fun to see what you get. Overall, the pride they take in creating their drinks creation is very thoughtful and unique. They're located right on the corner of Pacific Coast Highway/Sepulveda Boulevard and Artesia. So it is very easy to get to. In terms of parking, this coffeehouse is in a strip mall style location so there is plenty of parking. Overall, fun place to sit back and enjoy a latte or to grab one on the go. read more

It's one of my favorite coffee spots in LA! I love their honey lavender latte! It's delicious! The service is incredible, they are always super friendly, and greet you. There is plenty of seating, this place does get super busy!! It's clean inside, and a good vibe. I have tried other lattes as well but I keep coming back for honey lavender! read more

This place is unlike any other cafe in the South Bay. I have lived here my entire life, but it took moving to Irvine for school to make me realize how much we lack cafes with good work spaces. This place has plentiful seating and parking, wifi, and great drinks. I spent 4 hours studying here on my first visit and intend to come most days during my winter break while I study for my DAT. I remember seeing this place go under construction thinking there is no way it would last because everything goes out of business hidden in the back of the complex. I highly recommend this place for students or anyone who works from home. The ambiance is warm even on a winter rainy day and is truly a hidden gem! read more

Friendly, coffee was good, would definitely skip the food at this place, no flavor (bland) and almost all the contents of my burrito (hashbrowns, bacon, cheese) were cold. read more

The baristas are very kind and the atmosphere is happy, good vibes all around. There is free wifi and outlets along the walls by the tables. There is a good amount of seating. There is also a center bar, but it does not have any outlets. It's a great place to study or get some work done. There is a parking lot outside and it is relatively easy to find parking. I got the cold brew kicker and it has the perfect balance of coffee. Overall definitely worth a visit. read more

I got a coffee to take away from Pure Bean. I ordered the Lavender Honey Latte with oat milk and it was absolutely delicious. The staff was so friendly and answered my questions to help me choose the perfect drink. There were a lot of people inside the coffee shop and it would be a great place to bring my laptop and work from. It's quite bright inside with a lot of natural light and plants. Highly recommend checking out Pure Bean if you're in the area. read more

7/10. I ordered the cardigan and it was okay, the cardamom was a little overpowering which was a let down for the price you pay. The wait was also a tad long, but their customer service was great. Sweet Staff. I would still go again bc they had a big menu that sounds good! read more

The coffee was good and the shop was cute with a nice vibe. I think the prices are a little high but that's all coffee currently. What I didn't appreciate was the terrible customer service from the baristas. No greeting, no smile, no thank you. They weren't even busy. I felt like I was annoying them by simply ordering a coffee. Did not feel valued to be a customer AT ALL. These are the small but critical things that keep customers coming back. Hoping the owner gets the message. read more

Stopped in for a latte and a doppio while I was in the area. Cool little spot to come in and work. Free wifi and a decent amount of work space . The coffee is good and they do have ceramic cups for those coffee connoisseurs. I managed to get some work done and now off for lunch on the water. They also have wall outlets to charge your devices.
