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

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

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

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

Pure Bean - Lavender Honey Latte to take away - 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is by far the best coffee shop in the South Bay. I would say in all of LA. I have gone to Long Beach, Hollywood and so many other coffee shops and nothing compares to Pure Bean. I love the friendly customer service from everyone but Kevin is my favorite. He's always so kind and friendly. The pastries and food are delicious, I highly recommend. read more

Decided to try out a new coffee place and I could not be more disappointed with customer service and quality of the drinks. Service was slow. The cafe wasn't even busy. No one was greeting or have a smile. I ordered a cappuccino and chai latte. The chai latte was watered down. Cappuccino was sour!! Probably the worst chai latte and cappuccino I've had. Sad to say this is the first and last time I'll be coming here. Although the positive is the cafe is nice, clean and spacious. read more

Cute little spot I meet a friend here once a month. It was very busy for a Friday morning at 9 am. Hardly any room to find a seat luckily we did. Even saw Manhattan beach Pd there which was awesome ! You know it's safe when MBPD is enjoying some coffee and pastries. I wonder why when I was dining in I got the paper cup instead of a nice mug . Meh it's ok still delicious. read more

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

This is a relatively new coffee shop in the South Bay. I love going to coffee shops so I knew about this place earlier. The ambiance is nice and warm, with leather seats and stylish furniture. What I like most about this place is their signature coffee list. They make these incredible concoctions of coffee- based drinks but with interesting ingredients. The ingredients are all complementary to each other, so the drinks turn out good and not strange tasting. My favorite is the cardigan with pistachio milk. I tried cafe miel, which the baristas recommended. It has honey and cinnamon. While it was good but the flavors were not as bold as I expected. I haven't tried their pastries. The items on the menu, both coffee and food, are on the pricey side, but it you are looking for good coffee with a nice ambiance, this fits the bill! I go here a few times a month to try different drinks on their menu and to read or work on my laptop. It gets crowded from 1-4 pm, so finding a seat might be tricky. But it depends on the day, you might luck out and find a seat. Parking is easy. read more

Pure Bean - It's nice they put your order in a glass if you decide to stay to drink your coffee! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Stopped by this place to meet a friend and grab some coffee. I was delighted that my friend picked a place that was not Starbucks. This is a really cute place and looks like it is a fairly new place. Went there on a Friday morning and was very crowded. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, so easy to find some seating. The coffee is decent. But be prepared to wait if you are used to Starbucks efficiency. Not sure if they are still trying to get in the groove or if they were short staffed, but could not help notice how long I had to wait after ordering for coffee. I did not mind the wait as I had company and the staff was lovely! I love cute coffee places and therefore, this place is a win! read more
