I originally found The Coffee Bar because a super cute book truck I'd been wanting to visit was parked outside for their birthday celebration in August. Well, well, well... what a delightful surprise for me! Not only did I finally find the book truck but of course I also found a fantastic new coffee shop that I'll definitely be returning to! The Coffee Bar has a well-rounded menu with something for everyone. From matcha (yes, that's of course what I ordered) to lattes and plenty of other drinks in between. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality, and my drink was smooth, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. It seems like the kind of place where you can count on a good cup every time. The staff deserve their own shout out because everyone I interacted with was kind, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to enjoy working there - even when it was super busy for the birthday celebration! There is also seating both inside and out, which makes this an *even better* coffee shop! Whether you're settling in with a laptop to get some work done, bringing a book for a cozy solo morning, catching up with a friend, or just savoring your coffee quietly, The Coffee Bar is ready for it all! And, I was most appreciative of the public restroom. So, what started as a quick stop for a book truck turned into a potential new go to coffee spot. I'm so glad I found this place, I'll definitely be back again and again.
Super cute place tucked away in a neighborhood. Not a free table to be found, showcases the neighborhood culture and welcoming vibes. We got the barista's choice and my hubby got the lemon vanilla latte, which was delicious!
Certainly lovin' the vibes; nothing complicated just slow space to sit and chill. Despite sitting within the indoor area, the well-lit space with wide-open door gave that outdoorsy ambiance. Having their own roastery, I could really taste the high quality coffee. It did feel like a steal in this economy getting a 12oz latte served with 4 espresso shots and paying still a single digit price. If you're worried of having too much caffeine, it's customizable either reducing the shots or going decaf. They also had bunch of housemade syrup options, some of which were quite uncommon like the Lemon Vanilla I tried. I wouldn't call it my fave as it's quite strange for my palate having citrusy taste in my cup of joe, but at least I got my curiosity answered. Prolly next time would go more mainstream with honey or cinnamon!
THE COFFEE BAR is a great coffee shop that can be found in a semi-hidden shopping center in the heart of El Segundo. It's not on the main thoroughfare (Main Street) but is near a school so it's convenient to parents. Though I say "hidden", it's not, really. With a large free parking lot and easy to find, it's a great shop for employees of the large corporations surrounding El Segundo. The cashier and barista are super nice, super friendly. The CORTADO was strong, creamy and not tart. There are plenty of indoor dining chairs.
The Coffee Bar hits all the marks and then some. Was in search of coffee after a workout in the area and stumbled on The Coffee Bar. First impression: super homey and welcoming. Small coffee shop with vintage vibes (there was a vintage clothing sale inside). There was a woman doing cross stitch at one table, another working on a laptop at the counter, and a couple healthy plants to round out the decor. Loved it! What we ordered: - Cortido (hot, creamy, delish) - Flat White (hot, nutty, and yummy) - Lemon Vanilla Latte (hot, with almond milk, so freakin good. the lemon flavor was strong but not overwhelming. it honestly taking like I was drinking a lemon loaf/cake of some sort. Loved it so much that I ordered the iced version to take for the road. A must try). Next time I'm in the area, I'm coming back for sure! Tips: - plenty of parking in the plaza lot - small circular tables available for seating, more likely to take your order to go - super clean and airy bathroom, but there is only one so you might have to wait your turn - did I mention that you need to try the lemon vanilla latte? haha
I enjoyed this little coffee shop. It's very baby new. The service provided was exceptional. Conversation about their coffee was light and easy going. I loved seeing the option on their menu as a Barista's Choice. Some times I can be indecisive and will say, "dealers choice". What I was given was their popular drink. It was a cinnamon latte. To me it reminded me more of the cereal milk of sugary cornflakes or like an horchata. It was good, but something that didn't overly impressed me to stand out from other coffee shops I frequent. The drink wasn't a dud, it just missed the mark for me. I do look forward to going back and trying out their many other drinks. BTW, they offer other options for milk that they don't charge extra for. This is a huge deal in the coffee community and much appreciated from a customers perspective.
We stopped by The Coffee Bar in El Segundo after a nearby workout--always on the hunt for new coffee spots, especially when we're in a different part of town. This one came highly recommended by our friend Eddie, who knows his coffee, so we had high hopes going in. The shop is tucked into a small strip plaza that also houses a laundromat and a Mexican restaurant, and there's a large parking lot, which makes pulling in and out stress-free--a big plus in L.A. The space itself is pretty small with limited seating, and when we arrived, they had a thrift store pop-up going on inside, which made for some fun browsing while we waited for our order. Definitely added to the vibe. Here's what we got: - Miori ordered the Lemon Vanilla Latte (hot)--it was so good, we ended up ordering a cold version to go before we left. - I had the Almond Cortado--smooth, balanced, and just the right size post-workout. - Eddie went with a Flat White with regular milk, which got his stamp of approval. We grabbed a table outside since the indoor seating was full, and folks inside seemed pretty settled in (shoutout to the lady sipping her coffee while hand stitching and reading a book--living the dream). Coffee was excellent, and while we didn't get to try any pastries (the ones we wanted were already sold out), we're definitely coming back to explore more of the menu. Prices were super reasonable--all three drinks came out to under $20, which felt like a win. The staff was polite, and service was quick even with the extra foot traffic from the thrift sale. One heads-up: there's just one all-gender restroom, and it was being used as a changing room for the vintage shoppers when I needed it, so there was a bit of a wait. Highlights: - Great coffee, especially the Lemon Vanilla Latte - Reasonably priced (3 drinks under $20) - Fun thrift pop-up added to the charm - Large parking lot = easy access - Friendly staff and quick service Things to note: - Very limited seating inside - Restroom might double as a changing room during events - Popular pastries may sell out early The Coffee Bar is a cozy little gem in El Segundo--great for a quality coffee run with some character. Looking forward to going back for round two (and hopefully snagging a pastry next time).

I was staying in the area and looking for a good coffee. I just happened to drive by to find this place and decided to try. Very good coffee at a cute decor inside. They sell beans here and if I were living in the area, I would also buy a bag of beans.
I don't know how I have missed this cute little coffee shop but now that I know I'm telling everyone! They have their own syrups and it's so cool and different. The chocolate croissant was so yummy ! Also they gave us all of their old burlap sacks to use for my nephew's kindergarten gardening class. They are very sweet and so friendly!
Customer service lacks warmth and is uninviting. The reaction we got from the woman with curl hair was confrontational and carried a sense of entitlement bc she "works there." They have a small space on the counter where the menu is and take orders, a plastic display container that is shoulder+ height , and apparently where they also give out ready drinks. It was our first time and we were looking down reading the menu asking for house syrup recommendations when said lady shoved her arm between my bfs body and the display container, where there was little to no room to do so, to grab a ready drink sitting next to the POS setup. My bf asked for personal space - so calmly that she didn't hear him and as she walked away she asked, what did you say? I repeated for him since he was still focused on reading the menu saying - he asked for her personal space. She said "I work here." Lol. I can't help but laugh as I type this - bc that makes it better? That makes it even worse that you couldn't wait a few seconds for the order to be placed and/or accept when someone asks for personal space vs reacting as if it's an optional ask to respect or not. We said nvm thanks and walked out without finishing the order.
This coffee shop is nestled in a great location, serving up vibes as charming as a vintage record player). But beware, if you're craving a menu that's 100% intact, you might be left longing. Only about 75% of the offerings are available. I ordered a Cortado. The coffee was okay. Nothing special. The ambiance is cute, with cozy corners perfect for people-watching and hanging out with friends; However, the staff seem to think they're auditioning for the Loud Talkers' Olympics. Unless you've got a pair of noise-canceling headphones that could drown out a rock concert, studying here might be a bit of a challenge. Still, if you're looking for a charming spot to sip your coffee and watch the world go by (and possibly engage in some lip-reading practice), this place might be worth a visit.

I originally left this review after trying their cortado. The coffee itself was smooth, easy to drink, and tasted solid overall, but my main critique was the execution of the drink specifically as a cortado. The milk was a bit too foamy and aerated, giving it more of a cappuccino or small flat white feel rather than the denser, more integrated texture I'd expect from a traditional cortado. There were also quite a few visible bubbles on the surface, and it lacked the glossy, velvety texture that really helps bring the espresso and milk together. It also wasn't served in a proper cortado-sized vessel, which contributed to the drink feeling further removed from a traditional cortado. Service during my visit was friendly and straightforward. I'm updating my review after unexpectedly meeting the owner at Coffee Fest Los Angeles. I introduced myself and mentioned that I was the person who had left this review, and he immediately knew exactly which review I was talking about. Rather than being defensive about the criticism, he told me they genuinely appreciated the review and the feedback. What I respected even more was hearing that they actually took the feedback back to the team. He told me they had a meeting about always doing their best to make sure each drink is served as well as possible, and that if a drink genuinely isn't right, they're willing to remake it. That interaction gave me a lot more respect for the business. It's easy to accept positive feedback, but being willing to listen to constructive criticism, discuss it with your team, and use it as an opportunity to improve says a lot about an owner and how much they care about what they're serving. That's the kind of owner I respect. After meeting him and having that conversation, I would absolutely return whenever I'm back in the area and give the cortado another try. read more
A chill, unassuming coffee shop in El Segundo - quite small, but with free parking, a variety of coffee and tea options, and drinks that hit the spot. This is a place to come and hang out, work, study, or people watch a bit. There's a few tables inside, and a handful outside. We had iced coffees with oatmilk and honey vanilla sweetener - a first for me. I didn't like the sound of lemon vanilla, but others seem to like it. Drink prices and portions seem to be on-par with comparable places like Offset and Butterfly. Baristas were a bit hands-off when we ordered and asked questions about the menu, but not dismissive. The shop was quiet, I don't even remember any music playing. Some whispers and light conversation. I would return if I had the urge for coffee and was already in the area. read more

This local coffee shop is a gem! Other than having great coffee drinks and a welcoming and friendly staff, they are also a great addition to the community. They feature local art and host pop ups and really support the El Segundo community. read more

Tried their iced vanilla latte after I dropped off my kids to 2 schools. Loved their drink with their homemade syrups. The staff were very nice and helpful too! Would definitely come back now that school started again. I often see other parents hang-out there after drop off! read more
