Avocado toast with 6 min eggs
Stephanie F.

I enjoyed the ambiance and the food here very much! I stopped by after my haircut nearby, looking for a nice place to have coffee and brunch. The avocado toast with egg was delicious and the latte was great too. It was easy to order at the counter and the staff were friendly. The seating was nice too, with lots of open windows looking out to Pier Ave. The price point was slightly higher than I was hoping, but it was worth it as a nice treat for myself.

cappuccino with almond milk
Christina C.

I try to come every morning because they the best cute little cappuccino's. It's a healthy little organic cafe. The staff is always friendly. Today was my 1st time trying breakfast & it was so yummy.

Beautiful ambience, great music, matcha on point, and avocado toast was delicious! Service was very polite and accommodating. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Avocado Toast
Mia L.

Love this place! The space itself had the perfect vibe--simple, natural, and chill. Lots of sunlight! I ordered the avocado toast which was really good--the cashew cream on it was unique, but I liked it... definitely a different flavor from most avocado toasts i've tried. I didn't love the iced turmeric latte... was kind of expecting it to be like an iced chai latte, but it just tasted like those healthy pressed juices. The staff was super friendly. Overall, awesome spot with lots of nutritious but tasty options. Great for an easy breakfast or drink.

Paleo Chicken Panini
Briana M.

A must try when you're in Hermosa. The cutest little local cafe designed with such pure intentions. High quality, well sourced menu. Smoothies, bone broth, grain bowls, sandwiches & burgers. Lots of gluten free options, even house made paleo bread (try the paleo chicken pesto sandwich!) . Last but not least, there's a great grab and go selection too if you're on your way to the beach!

Matcha Latte
Grater F.

As always my #1 go-to restaurant in ALL OF LA where I know I can walk in here, order any single item on the menu, and trust that I will walk out of here with a delicious meal and feeling great. I always know that Chef Amber & Cindy are using the highest quality of ingredients that are good for my body. Prices are on the higher end of your average South Bay "cafe," but the quality of food is anything but average - everything they make is top tier with carefully selected ingredients for flavor and health. I love all of the staff here; everyone is so kind and thoughtful. They have a cute indoor seating setup along with some outdoor seating (such a bummer that the street seating was finally removed by the city post-pandemic, but that's obviously out of their control). I drive from Westchester regularly to grab breakfast/lunch here and work from the cafe.

Tofu Walnut Tacos
Harmonie T.

We ended up at Source Cafe by default. It was the 7am hour and we were looking for a breakfast place that had vegan options. Love the small neighborhood cafe vibe with good music. The Avocado Toast comes with cashew cream, avocado, radish, parsley, and sumac on what looks like wheat bread. Great mix of flavors and textures. Pretty to look at! Good portion size too since it comes with 4 pieces (2 large bread slices cut in half). https://bit.ly/3KzPeNx Tofu Walnut Tacos are TASTY! Not sure what magic is performed on this concoction but the filling is made of tofu, butternut squash, kale, walnut, tomato, onion, curry, and cilantro with a side of hot sauce. This comes on cassava tortillas which have a more pliable and chewy texture. https://bit.ly/3RmvDUZ Sharing these two dishes with my mom, this was a pretty filling meal! We ate around 7:30am and I wasn't hungry for my next meal until about 2pm. Service was friendly. I was bummed they didn't have the Beet Root Latte at the time but hopefully I can check that out on my next visit.

Menu

Tasty but pricey! A cute cafe in the downtown hermosa beach area. I lucked out and found metered street parking on Pier St. I love how committed this place is to fueling the body with fresh, nutrient dense foods. And the gluten free selection is truly amazing! I got the curry egg salad on paleo toast and it was delicious! Could use a bit of hot sauce but other than that, I really enjoyed the flavors and textures. It's pricey and not very filling but yummy nonetheless. I also got a latte with house made oat milk. It's pretty flavorless but the oat milk is creamy and smooth. Too expensive for a not great coffee so I'd skip this next time and get coffee at another shop near by. There's outdoor seating and indoor seating - both really great options as the cafe does a great job of the beachy cute atmosphere. The employees are nice and the food comes out quickly.

Dessert
Ivonne C.

The food was very healthy and tasteful. The service was decent and the ambiance was pleasant. I enjoyed the salmon bowl with no rice. It was very refreshing. I paired my meal with a beet juice and it was delicious.

I love their panini so much I get this almost every week! The source has great fresh, nutritious food, probably the best spot in Hermosa for healthy food Most food are organic and locally produced. My favorite smoothie is the Cacaco Almond Buttercup, the first time I got it was because it was said to help with one's energy and it does just that! Service is great, the staff are so nice and friendly. The place itself is cozy, I love sitting outside when it's a nice sunny day! I usually stay inside if I wanna get some work done and studying done :) but there's no WiFi. Overall one of my favorite spots and really recommend it to yall

Chicken Caesar wrap, yum!
jeannette h.

Another item on the menu I just tried was their Chicken Caesar wrap... I've got to say that it's my newest favorite item! It was really delicious and filling. The flavors were mouth watering, while still feeling like i was eating healthy.

Is there WiFi?

Unfortunately, they do not have WiFi there

Are they open on Christmas Day?

No, they're closed!

Is the avocado toast vegan? On the online menu it's marked vegetarian, not vegan but all the ingredients listed appear to be vegan?

I hope so! I've always assumed so?!

SunLife Organics makes some seriously delicious smoothies. They're thick, flavorful, and made with…read morepretty good-quality ingredients, so they definitely feel more elevated than your average smoothie shop. That being said, they are pricey as heck! Also, don't automatically assume you're ordering a low-calorie "diet" drink just because it's a smoothie. Some of these can be surprisingly high in calories, especially with all the nut butters, dates, protein powders, and add-ins. Delicious? Absolutely. Light and innocent? Not necessarily. I still enjoy coming here as a treat, but my wallet and calorie tracker both need a warning beforehand.

The first time I came here, it was busy. They clearly forgot my order. I had to inquire about it…read morewhen I started to notice people who came after me were getting their orders. Then, when the crowd dwindled, I was pretty much the only one still there so, yeah they def forgot it. I usually don't like to say anything, but I also didn't want to be there any longer than I already had been, so I kindly mentioned I hadn't received my drink yet. They were ok about it, I guess (definitely not nice) and I get when an establishment is busy, sometimes orders can sometimes get lost or accidentally not added. Whatever the reason may be, I eventually got my order and it was definitely rushed. I ordered the Tahitian Vanilla Bean Matcha and it was eh. I'm sure it's probably better but literally very low effort was put forth to make it. I decided to give this place a second chance during the week, when it's less busy. I got an acai bowl, I believe the Brazilian and it was good. I got a drink also, but it wasn't very memorable. Overall, it was ok.
