Love this place! I actually enjoyed when this place was the previous cafe too, but it was just too hardcore for me (entirely raw menu!). Now this place offers some vegan choices but also does some AMAZING baking and juicing!! Vegan and gluten-free chocolate chip cookies!!! Soft and chewy. Very chocolatey!!! Customer service is always super friendly and helpful. Great vibe here and always stop in every time I'm in hermosa! read more

This is the most CUTEST place. I loved everything from their super healthy breakfast options to their cute art-filled cappuccinos. I ordered the frittata with a side of fruit and although the portion sizes are on the small side, the quality is there. I'd definitely come back! read more

The Source Cafe - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

We had the kale caesar wrap, veggie panini, cacao flax bar and coffee. Kale Caesar - lacked any real caesar flavor, so I purchased some of the spicy aioli, which was REAL spicy. Veggie Panini - really good, would recommend. It was hot, flavorful, the bread was perfectly pressed. Coffee - the bullet coffee tasted like if you melted butter and put it in water, not a whole lot of coffee flavor. The iced americano was okay, we added an extra shot but it still tasted watery. Another large issue is that they have no wifi. They're a cafe with $9 coffee options and no wifi, which is sad. read more

I had been wanting to try this cafe for a while, and finally was in the neighborhood to do so. I had the oddest experience--kind of similar to another Yelper's experience below like @Sandy. When I went inside I was looking to purchase a juice or smoothie. It being my first time there, I was unsure if they only had pre-made juices available in their open face refrigerator or if I could order something to be custom made fresh. There was one female staff at the register, I waited patiently as she helped check out the lady in front of me. I noticed she made some small talk with her. Mind you, I was the only ethnic person in the whole shop. When she finally acknowledged me, she asked if I had an online order. I said no--I told her I wanted to ask if they still carried a particular juice; she told me they no longer did. At that point I went back to the pre-made juice section to try to pick something out as I was in a rush. Then I had to wait again to check out. The whole time the front staff seemed very awkward, barely said two words to me as I was trying to process the transaction. I was still curious about the menu, mainly because I saw that behind her were some blenders. Again I tried to ask for clarity if they can make fresh juice. I asked if I could call in a custom order next time, the cashier just gave me a blank stare and said "yes" The whole time I couldn't help but feel as if I was unwanted there and that my business was not appreciated. I really am not sure why, or if she was racist, but if this is how the Source Cafe goes about treating their customers, especially with such high prices (!) then this will be my first and last time there. It's too bad because some of their food really does look good, and the bottled juice I had also tasted good. read more

- kale caesar salad wrap: just ok; not memorable - gingersnap whoopie: delicious with good texture + taste - turkey sandwich: just ok - paleo chicken panini: pretty good, but the "bread" has a falafel-like texture, so keep that in mind - blueberry doughnut: just ok - chocolate banana muffin: moist and good, but the whoopie is better People sitting in the outdoor space are not 6 ft apart, nor are the staff requiring them to-- it's kind of only suitable for one table (for distancing) since it's a small space. Staff is wearing masks, but not gloves. Parking is always easy to find. read more

One of my favorite spots to go for healthy food. They are always friendly. The food is creative and nutritious. There is something for everyone. Try the green bone broth! read more

I'm always skeptical about beach cafes. Some of them are great, and others are great just because they're by the beach. I'm seriously impressed by this cafe and the best part is that they offer SO MANY gluten-free and vegan options! They took the time to prepare baked goods and even freshly prepared goods as well. I have a gluten-allergy so it's refreshing to be able to go some place that "gets it". My favorite there is the avocado toast on flax bread, their banana chocolate chip muffin and their macha smoothie. (ALL three of these are vegan and gluten-free). Party in my mouth every single visit. read more

Great food, bone broth best ever, chicken panini, pesto salad yummmm!Healthy, tasty, sweets are not overly sugary.

THEIR KALE AVOCADO ALMOND QUINOA BOWL. Omg amazing!!!!!! So refreshing, and I loved the addition of the kimchi and egg in there too. I can't recommend this place enough. Super delish and I felt like I did my good deed for the day by eating here and doing something good for my body. I also had a green juice and felt I could run 29 miles straight. read more

Hmmm, the Source Cafe. Where do I start? I was cruising down the road, and I saw this place. I just had to stop, robotically feed the meter, and poke my head in for a look-see. They have a lay back beach city style decors, people hang out, grab lunch during work day, treat themselves and their dogs, and take an awesome juice to cleanse. I was starving, so I went with the turkey panini. It was delicious to the eye and the taste palates. The side salad was green to the point. The panini was a bit too buttery to my taste--which I don't really like butter at all, so don't mind me. The latte, now coffee is my specialty :) I drink so much coffee, I think Starbucks ought to offer me a position. The barista offered a variety of flavors for the latte, whole milk, non-fat, soy, almond--nothing special, wait, did she just say coconut milk? I've never had a coconut latte. It takes a little to get use to, the swirl of creamy coconut and bold black gold. 3 sips, I am in love with it. Dog friendly, self-serve, decent food, decent price. Yep. read more

The Source Cafe - Turkey panini, creamy, crunchy, and just the right amount of greens, heavenly - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

I don't recommend coming here, the service and food quality has gone down significantly. The employees are really nasty especially Abby. It's unfortunate that this place has gotten so awful, I used to come here everyday and they don't even make fresh nut milk and coconut milk like before. I placed a pick up order on Yelp today and it showed for pick up tomorrow morning but it said they're still open when I placed the order so I called and told the employee Abby who answered the phone if I could pick up the order today not tomorrow and she kept arguing on the phone saying she can't do that and she can't see the order and that I have to call and cancel and come in and place a new order, when she could have just fulfilled the order instead of being rude and then she proceeded by hanging up the phone on me. She didn't want to help at all. Not only did you guys just lose a regular customer but I also will not be recommending this place to anyone moving forward. It's sad that you guys don't teach you good service read more

This may be my favorite cafe in LA. Embodies exactly why Hermosa Beach and the South Bay has stolen my heart. Answers any caffeine fix and has tons of healthy food/drink options. I recommend the vanilla latte for those who enjoy something smooth and on the sweeter side. yes, they do cafe/coffee designs. Ambiance is unmatched. Open area filled with natural light, comfortable seating perfect for spending a few hours getting work done. They have outlets! A great place to catch up with friends and/or take someone who's visiting the area. The staff is friendly and the customers who visit are warm and friendly. People will smile with you and say hello. It's a bit loud just from the blenders at time, but it gives you even more of an excuse to post up outside and enjoy the weather. Nice touches like agave, almond milk, lemon cucumber water, etc. make this place as good as a cafe can get. read more

The Source Cafe - vanilla lattes, complete with latte design - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

This place is a great addition to the Hermosa Beach food scene. There are not many places like it in the area. The food, smoothies, and juices are great as are the "healthy" brownies! The smoothies are pretty heavy I've heard. My one qualm with this place is the fact that the prices are fairly high and there is very little seating, particularly during busy hours. I found a seat after a few minutes and there are signs on the tables that say only stay at a table for 1 hour or less which is good as it frees up some tables. However, there are lots of people on their computers with a juice. Maybe it has grown more quickly than originally thought. I can definitely understand why. The place is natural, organic, and has a breezy, sunny feel to it with lots of stores nearby to window shop and walk in. It's also a short walk to the beach. I feel like the owner has created a lot of her own recipes, crackers, etc. that I have not seen elsewhere. Try it! read more

A very cute, and cozy cafe. Lots of healthy and natural foods and drinks. Went on a Friday morning to find it a little packed, but found seating easily. My friend and i chose to try their veggie panini and wrap. They were both bomb but my only downfall is that the wrap is labeled "spicy" and to my surprise was not even a mild hint of it :( we both had the matcha lattes (one hot and one iced) and again, very bland. For a matcha drink, it was very weak, it seems they don't add enough matcha or hint it with matcha for the color lol. And I know my fair share of matcha. I'm not big on sweeteners so it beinh unsweetened was fine, but it def. needs more matcha. Kudos to presentation. Will be back to try their bottled smoothies-- although I'm not sure how often since they are $12 a pop lol read more

Lovedddd everything about this place..from the warm welcome we received to the deliciousss food. I started a/ the Green Party juice and it was the best green juice I've ever had (and I've had a lot). Since we couldn't decide what to order we ordered the smoked salmon bagel, pier panini and the toast with smoked white fish (my fave!!!! SO good).. Most importantly, the staff was super helpful, genuine and nice. Go here...you'll love it. read more

The food here is super healthy, well prepared and presented, and affordable for the quality. The service is awesome...everyone is so chill and friendly. Total neighborhood go-to place for a quick nutritious delicious meal with friends or solo. My fav table decoration is the sunflowers. Sometimes the dogs (or their owners ) on the outside little patio can be obnoxious and oblivious to others who are dining there but that is pervasive in the South Bay. If your looking for an unusual but super tasty meal this is your place. Highly recommend. read more

The matcha latte is horrible- it's 7$ for maybe a 12oz, the oat blueberry power balls were tasty but 2 for 8$ is unjustifiable. way overpriced and not worth it read more

If youre in the mood to break the bank for a coffee, this is the place for you. Cute vibes inside, I wanna bring my laptop and get some work done, but I'm not about to order the food. Got food poisoning from the pre-packaged chicken salad TWICE. What the heck! read more

What's Cooler Than Being Cool Today I went to this eating establishment and purchased two items. The first of these two was a glass of ice water. I have two main critiques, too watery and too icy. "Too watery?" you might ask but that is the only way I can describe it. Just too much water man. Secondly I could go so far as to say that the water was too cold. I typically expect an approximately 3:1 water to ice ratio, but this was not the case. Hella ice. The blueberry thing was good tho. Overall......3/5 read more

I love this place. We drive up from PV to have brunch here and I come any other chance I get too. Great food and drinks, nice atmosphere (loud from the blenders but that's part of the charm), with high chairs for kiddos, easy parking, nice patio seating, and lovely staff. The only thing I would change is to add (pastured) scrambled eggs so my toddler can have something more kid-friendly, AND some more low-sugar smoothie options because green smoothies are one of the only ways I'm able to pack greens into both my and my son's diets. I'm more than willing (more like begging) to pay $12+ for a smoothie if it has a couple days' worth of organic greens in it! read more

So this place is perfect for vegans, vegetarians or anyone who just wants a good meal! Definitely need to try the turkey wrap when you come here! I mean it's on a gluten free wrap what's better than that! Also the cacao almond butter cup smoothie is my favorite. If you like coffee you can add a shot of espresso and still get the sweet with it! I've never tried one of the yummy looking treats in front but my sister has and loved it. She is allergic to gluten and lactose intolerant and she loves coming here because she can eat pretty much anything! One down side, it's a tad stuffy but what do you expect when it's filled with so many people who want a taste of the amazing food! read more

This place is amazing. It's hard to find truly organic and healthy spots in the area and this is the one if that's what you're looking for. The pastries are incredible especially the carrot cake donut. Wow. We enjoyed the breakfast panini and avocado toast which were both so fresh and tasty. The juices and smoothies are also great but not cheap. Still worth every penny. read more

Cute but pretty small and not a great working space in that there are no outlets! I also think the food is really overpriced for what it is. I got the smoked salmon toast with some cashew cream and it came out to $20 something. That's literally the only thing I ordered. Paleo bread or not, it wasn't worth it! read more

After switching to a plant based diet, it's hard finding a place with a nice selection. This place is the best selection, with tons of meat options as well. The owner Cindy was so helpful and kind. Most importantly the food is so amazing! read more

Overpriced and if you care about the environment, please boycott until they change their practices. Overnight, they increased the price of their smoothies from $10 to $12. $12! I asked why such an increase and was told that the reason they increased the price is because they now use glass bottles instead of plastic (I'm guessing that they pretend they care about the environment...lie). Here's their hypocrisy: Prior to this price increase, I have brought my observation up to management. Half the time you drive by or walk by you will notice that their employees sit in their cars eating or talking/surfing the web on their phones while their car engine idles.... for long periods of time. I noticed this on several occasions (and if anybody isn't aware, that's bad for our AIR QUALITY when clueless people do this). You add up all the morons that do this throughout the city and it's just terrible. Makes me sick. Go outside if you just want to waste time on your phone! Duh.... we have good weather if anybody hasn't noticed. Anyway, I talked to a manager about it and her response was that "we don't really have an area for our employees to sit in so they use their cars." Here's a solution: Allow them to take their breaks when it's not busy (and I'm sure that's the time of day that they would normally give their employees a break anyway).... allow them to sit in a corner table. When I was young and worked in a fast food joint, we were able to sit at the regular tables- we didn't need a special break room).... it's better than contributing to poor air quality, don't you think?! I just can't stand hypocrisy. If you take pride in being pro-environment, then do all that you can.... not just charge extra for bottles. I'm sure those bottles don't cost them as much as they raised the prices for anyway. In addition, they claim they are so healthy but how do we really know? If they don't care about the health of the environment, then they don't care about the health of people (we are a packaged deal, right?). I no longer trust that they have our best interest in mind. read more

There are products here that you cannot find locally all in one spot and they seem to be always adding innovative and socially aware ingredients: for baked goods so many Vegan options especially great vegan/gf chocolate chip cookies, made to order smoothies that are healthy & sustainable for the planet. So beyond Jamba Juice, so beyond Starbucks, and more Vegan options than Kirari West... and really good tasting. Leafy green salads always fail for us as there are limp greens amongst great flavors Soups change often: unique and often amazing Avocados harvested in CA and not Mexico... helping protect Monarchs and making great avocado toast. Big selection of grab n go food and smoothies if you cant wait for custom. Mostly you're going to learn a lot about new ingredients, with great and friendly staff, sometimes you will deal with staff who will question why you are not satisfied with food. But for the most part a big thumbs up for this spot. read more

very cute/hipster place next to beach. went on a saturday around noon. it already busy but luckily i found a place to sit. it was a very hot day but the fans and wall air conditioner eventually cooled me down. i ordered : -chicken panini with avocado. the panini (~$11) came with a small mixed salad with a vinaigrette -matcha iced tea ($5) was plain cus they only put a teaspoon. they didnt have soy milk so i had to settle with regular milk. adding syrup was 0.75. the additions were not worth it. another con was that there are not any accessible outlets so i didnt stay very long to do work. parking: there is meter parking up to 2 hours. coins or card is accepted. read more

I'm sure they don't care, because they have plenty of business, but if you weigh over 90 pounds in Hermosa beach, they will have a comment about your weight. My daughter just got slammed with, are you pregnant? You look pregnant. She ran off crying. She's an adult. This is inexcusable read more

Not impressed. Over rated. Hermosa Beach should be able to do better. Baked items looked dry: wanted something delicious. Food looked skimpy. Got vegan soup. OK: I needed nutrients: So they get a 5 on that. Hermosa Beach needs a SUPER VEGAN place. $$$$$$$ read more

One of my fav places in hermosa beach !!! Very healthy Fresh Always always great friendly service .. i love their avocado toast and chicken salad ... i just cant get enough of it However the reason why i gave three stars is because sunday me and my bf order to go We order two orders of the avo toast and Two orders of the chicken salad Plus i got a couple goodies when we got there ... i know they close earlier sunday and i know they are in a hurry to leave and i dont mind to pay any price (My bill was 75 dollars) I was very dissatisfied and disappointed when i got home and my second chicken salad wasnt in the bag ... i was very excited for my fiancé to try the chicken salad and to bad he had to share mine ... read more

One of my favorite places for delicious and super healthy food, oh and the best tuna Panini I've ever had!

I follow a low blood sugar diet. Love the selections this place offers- bone broth and all the bowl options with veggies. Shakes are great too! Plenty of fun options for my vegetarian or vegan friends. Seating is tough during peak hours- even the community seating is taken. Spots usually open in 15 minutes or less but kinda awkward being a seat vulture while waiting for the food to come out. In summary, I highly recommend this place for healthy and unhealthy eaters alike - great food is great food. read more

My green juice was warm and tasted slightly spoiled. The avocado toast was ok but nothing amazing, and it was recommended as the best thing on the menu.
