This place holds a special kind of nostalgia for me. I used to come here as a young boy when it was Marineland, and over the years I've eaten at the restaurants, stayed at the hotel, and now I find myself back for something simple: coffee at Sea Beans. I love sitting in the lounge area near the fireplace, sometimes journaling, and today I played cards with my daughter there. It was a quiet, grounding kind of afternoon . But what I really want to highlight is the staff at Sea Beans. Today's experience was with Izabella and Sam, and last week I was helped by Austin, who was just as kind. I have a lot of tattoos, and I'm used to encountering judgment in certain spaces because of it. I didn't feel that once here. I felt genuinely welcomed, and that matters more than people realize. What stood out most is that the kindness didn't feel performative. It felt natural, like these are just people who treat others well as a baseline, not as a service tactic. There's a real shortage of that in the world right now. When you receive food, coffee, or even just a smile from someone who's in a good place themselves, you feel that energy transfer., I feel it clearly here. Grateful for the experience, and grateful to Terranea for consistently being a place where I feel like I belong. The coffee and Gelato is amazing. Thank you so very much. read more

Talk about a hidden gem! located inside the terranea resort! they have a free parking lot and great seating inside. The space has so much room with any kind of treat or drink you'd ever want during your stay. Service was great. Everyone was so kind and sweet. Made our drinks so fast. Apple Butter Latte with Almond milk was so good, matcha had a good flavor but was a bit grainy. Nothing they can't fix easily. Will absolutely be back for the rest of those drinks!! read more

Our afternoon visit was wonderful. We had a lovely iced herbal tea which was perfect for the hot afternoon. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the restroom inside the hotel lobby is easily accessible. We have been here many times for coffee which is equally as good as the tea. The bakery items are wonderful as well as the assorted gelatos. Many visitors pick up premade sandwiches and salads to take to the beach, etc. What you must try are the ice cream sandwiches which can be found in the freezer. They are to-die-for. Know that this is a very busy morning coffee shop so patience and time is important especially during the summer and high travel tourist periods. We try to keep that in mind when we make the trip to Terranea and plan a coffee break. read more

While at the Terranea I came her to get coffee and dessert. It's a very nice coffee shop selling coffee drinks, desserts, croissants, gelato, snacks and more. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Customer service is friendly. I got an iced coffee and a chocolate banana tart. It was very fresh and delicious. I shared it with my son and we both loved it. Prices are on the higher side but at least the quality is good. My son also ordered a gelato and liked it a lot. The ambiance is great here. It's a beautiful place. read more

We stopped by Sea Beans and ordered their chocolate gelato--one of my absolute favorites. I actually forgot to take a photo because I ate it way too fast (it's that good!). Sea Beans has always been one of our go-to spots whenever we're at Terranea Resort. They offer so many great goodies, from sandwiches to snacks, and their gelato never disappoints. I also love how they always have a festive theme going on--like the adorable gingerbread house display they have right now. It adds such a fun and cozy touch to the whole experience. read more

I needed a break caring for my mom who has Dementia, so I called up my friend and we headed to Rancho Palos Verdes. The costal drive was so relaxing: winding with a panoramic view of the Pacific ocean. When we arrived, the helpful and friendly valet directed us to the public parking lot and the path that led to the coffeehouse. As we walked down the sidewalk, the huge shade trees and landscaping gave off a tranquil and serene feeling. We saw the coffeehouse to our right, before the Terranea resort. What caught my eye was the case of beautiful desserts by the cashier, needless to say, we grabbed one to pair with our coffees. The cashier was super sweet and accomodated our every request with a smile; she even played the part of our photographer. We sat down at a comfy banquette that had pillows: my back thanks you. The light was dimmed which helped give the place a cozy atmosphere. The coffee was good, and the desserts divine! My friend commented that, for the area (RPV), the prices were reasonable. We brought home a fruit tart (YUMMY!) as a treat for my mom, and to help console my reliever (she loved it) who had just lost her grandmother. With my spirit rejuvenated, I was ready to get back to the challenges of caregiving. Thanks Sheila for the girly date, you're a godsend. NOTES: - Self parking available in the lot to the left - valet parking $27 - They are cashless - Afterwards, definitely take a stroll toward Terrenea Cove read more

I like their ambiance and the variety of treats they have. I came around 30 minutes before closing so i only ordered something sweet that was ready to go and honestly for $16 the tiramisu was not worth it. It came in a chocolate edible cup which was small and didnt really taste like tiramisu but it was cute. I get it, its located at a resort but for a small pastry at $16? I gave it a 3 since the staff were friendly and gave good details on their items read more

Sea beans is a great spot to grab a coffee and a snack when walking around or staying at Terranea. They have a selection of desserts like small cheesecakes, fruit tarts and croissants. Their big cookies are delicious! I recommend those the most! They also have gelato and small prepackaged meals. Their service is always friendly and they have small tables to sit at but take it with you to grab a seat nearby with an ocean view. read more

My latte was not strong, overly milky. I'll have to add extra shots. Ambiance is excellent. The sho has a nice relaxing feel to it. Refrigerators with wine, bubbly, and other cold beverages. Also light snacks available in the fridge. There's also a little shop with small travel sized items, such as a medical kit, etc. The cafe also has baked goods that look fresh and flaky. Lots of movement and people going in and out. Lots of tables for space for working, meeting, or just relaxing. Nice open outdoor area too. There are lots of different people around, tourist, residents, etc. parking is ok, it's a little far if you don't want to valet, but the walk is nice and flat. read more

Average coffee. The flavors were a little sweet for my taste, but their espresso was good. Plenty of other snacks inside if you need something, plus tables inside and out for working on a laptop. We went 3 times and the staff seemed uninterested in being there. The only person who was more kind than others seemed new, but that faded when another employee got upset with her for asking too many questions about where menu items were on the screen. At least the service was quick, and it's coffee. read more

Very cute coffee shop at the resort! They have a nice selection of snack and house made packaged treats as well as gelato and pastries. I just went in for a latte and also got an adorable whale cookie for my son. The latte was good, but I wish they offered a small so that it was less milky. Lovely outdoor seating area to enjoy your coffee. read more

sea beans is a cafe by the front entrance of the Terranea resorts. They probably get most of their customers organically for their location alone. My boyfriend and I were in the area exploring the sea coves and we decided to stop here for a refreshing treat. My boyfriend had an iced 20oz Lemonade ($5.50). They asked if he wanted it sparkling and he said yes, but it was served flat. I had an iced 16oz Mocha Latte with Oak Milk ($7.95) and a Gelato ($5/single scoop) in which I opted for the Tiramisu. The drinks were nothing special. This was a tourist trap and we definitely fell for it. The most disappointing thing of all was the wanna-be gelato. The texture was so awful when they scooped it up, this was definitely no gelato. They didn't even scoop it with the typically gelato scooper. They used a basic ice cream scooper. I definitely wouldn't consider coming back here even if I was in the area. There was indoor and outdoor seating but it was limited and not well maintained with the tables being dirty. Not exactly the image of luxury when it's so pricey. read more

Sea Beans never disappoints. For a 5-star resort, the drinks here are surprisingly reasonably priced, which is a huge win. The quality is always top-tier and consistently excellent. My absolute favorite is the chai tea latte--perfectly spiced, smooth, and comforting every single time. And if you're a coffee lover, their cold brew is amazing: rich, smooth, and not bitter at all. Easily one of the best cold brews I've had, resort or otherwise. Whether you're starting your morning or grabbing a mid-day pick-me-up, Sea Beans is the go-to spot. Great drinks, great value, and a perfect complement to the Terranea experience. Highly recommend read more

Sea Beans is such a cozy spot to have coffee and a treat. The coffee is delicious and what an incredible variety of pastries! I love muffins and was fortunate to get a berry-type muffin.it was fantastic and had tasted like it was just baked. Service was personable and welcoming. We enjoy people watching, so this was a perfect spot to do it! There is also a seating area outside, if you prefer. Worth the trip ... sit and relax ... enjoy. read more

The good: They have a cute outdoor seating area in front of the hotel resort. They also have indoor seating. I tried a cookie and a latte. They also had a lot of gelato options. Their name is so cute since they are by the sea. They offer savory foods and many desserts like parfaits, cakes, cookies, and more. The inside was more spacious than I expected and was cozy. I like how nestled it feels and I like its proximity to the ocean. The bad: The cookie was just ok. I would've liked for it to be chewier and fresher. Parking can be difficult. There's a guest parking lot on the left as you enter the resort but it's often full. You have an option to parallel park as well on the left side as you enter the resort area. The interesting: They have a pancake station on the weekend from 8-11AM. read more

Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes is a lovely place. We had lunch at one of the restaurants at the resort. After having lunch with my lovely cousin and her fantastic family, we then headed to Sea Beans for dessert which is also located at Terranea. They got some awesome dessert selections at this shop. Of course, they carry other stuff as well. My eyes, though, were drawn to all the delicious looking sweets in their display cases. I wanted one of everything. My wife would not let me do that. Boo!!!! I ended up buying the New York Cheesecake with a strawberry on top. Tasted yummy! My wife bought the Nutella Baklava. It tasted quite good, but I'm a cheesecake person so I preferred my choice. My cousin and her family chose to try the gelato, and they said it was also delicious. Sea Beans should be on everyone's list to drop by whenever they are at the beautiful Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes. read more

Located at the front entrance of the Terranea resort. They serve coffee, sandwiches, and deserts. Price is comparable to Starbucks. Their deserts are beautifully displayed. We had cheese cake and tiramisu, each is $15. Chocolate cheese cake is no Bueno, very sweet, doughy. Tiramisu is too pretty to be eaten. I was looking at it for a while before breaking it down. The cup is dark chocolate, mascarpone mixed with coffee liquor, coffee macaroon, and lady finger dipped in mascarpone. It is kinda deconstructive version of Tiramisu. Thumb up! There is also an outdoor seating area with fireplace. It is a nice place to get coffee and snacks before or after hiking the beach trails. read more

Terranea is one of those upscale resorts I never think to ever stay at, but that's probably cause I live in PV. So naturally, the thought of eating any food or drinking any coffee here never crossed my mind either until now. Coffee shops are few and far in PV so sea beans is a great place for a coffee and some pastries before you stroll along the ocean. Their coffees taste good and the pastries nice and sweet, but not overly sweet. You can't go too wrong here just might have to pay a little more than your typical coffee shop but hey, that's resort business. If you're not staying at Terranea, they have a free public parking lot not too far from the resort entrance. It may or may not be full depending when you come by. read more

Spacious, cute coffee shop on the Terranea resort that has lots of cute cookies, pastries, gelato, and of course - coffee. They also have a toiletries section for travelers who might've forgotten something. However, it's kind of a red flag when a shop doesn't post their prices on their menu. Ordered a hot americano that tasted bitter and burnt. Needed to doctor it up with lots of half and half and sweetener to make it more palatable. It was about ~$5 for the Americano. Ok place if you're in the area or staying at Terranea, but I wouldn't go out of my way for this place. read more

Ambiance and staff are cool! Vegan/Vegetarian choice though limited, very tasty. Prices are a bit steep, however for the convenience for guest on the resort it is a very good option. I am not sure if I would drive out there for quick bite but while staying at the resort will surely visit again! read more

The coffee shop is at the front of the Terranea resort and is so cute! They have grab and go foods, pastries, coffees/teas, and smoothies. It's a really great entrance and you can take your food and drinks into the resort and sit by the ocean. The service was pretty great but we also had a pretty simple order. I got an iced Terra coffee which is honey, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Very yummy!! Considered getting the cake but ended up opting for the restuarant's happy hour. read more

Beautiful location, but the experience fell short. Sea Beans has a charming coastal café vibe and a great location within the Terranea Resort. The ambience makes you want to linger over a coffee and pastry. Unfortunately, the staff weren't particularly welcoming or friendly during my visit, which really took away from the atmosphere. The food and drinks were also underwhelming for the price--everything felt overpriced for the quality. I don't mind paying resort prices when the service and product match, but in this case, it just didn't feel worth it. Great aesthetics, but I expected more from both the hospitality and the menu. Disappointing overall. read more

Really cool cafe located at the front entrance as you enter Terranea. Sea beans has a large variety of delicious coffee options, baked goods such as cookies and muffins, and the best part after or during a long walk, gelato. I've been here plenty of times before, but recently ordered a cookies & cream gelato. It was amazing and very rich, downed my scoop in just under a few minutes. You can sample flavors here, with a selection that includes tiramisu, nutella, mango, and many more. read more

sea beans was a staple for us on our recent long weekend at Terranea. Great coffee and bites. Easy place to stop in to grab some drinks. On weekends, they have a fantastic pancake and waffle station just outside (pay inside at register where you order coffee, etc). Definitely grab one of their s'mores kits to use after dark at the fire pits on property. No brainer to check out sea beans while staying at Terranea. read more

The cafe is located on the grounds of Terranea resort. Parking lot available for parking. I tried the gelato - strawberry rose and rocky road. Strawberry rose tasted just of strawberry and rocky road was good (can't go wrong with chocolate) but it tasted more like ice cream than a creamy dense gelato. Also got a latte which was good. I liked the cute travel theme cup design. Service was ok tho - tad slow but I suppose if you're on vacation mode you should have time to spare...? read more

If you're not a big breakfast person, I would go to sea beans. I'm wary of unsanitary hotel room coffee makers and prefer iced coffee to hot. The iced espresso drinks and pastries are good, and I also liked the Terranea homemade granola bar. The service is quick, although it takes longer on weekends or days when a lot of people are checking out. There are ice water dispensers, which are great when it's hot, and this seemed to be one of the few places where you can pay in cash and get change. read more

I ended up going to sea beans instead of a Starbucks when I found myself in PV, and it did not disappoint. This small cafe has a plethora of pastries and desserts.

I would order it again. read more
