The drinks were solid too and paired well with everything we ordered. The whole place has a calm neighborhood bakery feel to it, and you can tell it's a spot locals come back to often.

The not-as-good: Service was just okay. Maybe it was just from working an exceptionally hot day, but it didn't feel like staff really cared to be there. We are South Bay locals, but I'd imagine this place is a huge draw for tourists and the wait staff just seemed annoyed by our presence and waved us off like we were tourists. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and it was our first date night out since having a baby 7 months ago, and no mention of that our entire visit (or no one cared to ask). In terms of food, I'd say the charred watermelon salad was the star of evening. Katsu calamari fries were fine, nothing to write home about, but a nice accompaniment to the salad. We also got the Huli Huli chicken entree to share -- chicken was nice and tender, but the "lettuce cups" were just two large leaves of lettuce and it wasn't very clear how to assemble them (if that was the intention), so we left them alone. But the charred pineapple was my absolute nemesis that evening. The sun had set, and the fire pits at the tables to our left had just been fired up, but it was still pretty hard to see our food. My husband pointed out that the spiky pineapple skin was still on the pineapple, so I avoided that and started cutting around to a smaller piece of the inside of the pineapple with a knife so it could accompany the chicken -- the bottom ended up being SO charred that it was lodged in my throat for about 2-3 minutes, like something was grating against my esophagus Kinda ruined the rest of the meal for me. Suggestions: Candles for the tables when the sun sets so patrons can see what they're eating? Or have wait staff explain the chef's preferred method of consumption? Overall, we'd come back for a happy hour by the beach with a small group of friends with some small plates and people watch during sunset to some live music, but as a special occasion spot, I'd find another spot.

Literally everything we ordered exceeded out expectations. - The Falafel sliders are the most ordered item for a reason. Absolutely incredible with the perfect amount of flavor; deliciously crispy falafel and amazing buns. We ordered this dish twice! It was that damn good. - The crispy bread sounds pretty straight forward but it was also a standout. High quality bread all nice and toasty paired with this incredible olive-infused butter. - The Tunisian bruschetta almost got ordered twice as well. The tuna was phenomenal and makes for a great shared plate. I'm a sucker for any dish with an egg on it so will 100% be ordered this next time we stop in.

They act like bread is made of gold and only give two small slices and doesn't match the ratio of eggplant given. Cauliflower was very good, nice flavor combo. Salad was tasty but overdressed. The beef cheeks were non-existent, a few bits hidden under a mountain of couscous. The lights happened to go off during dinner, perhaps they thought we wouldn't see the small portion?! For that price it was a huge disappointment. They tend to be very heavy handed on the salt. Such lovely spice flavors shouldn't be overtaken by salt, the flavors should speak on their own. Lemon cake was actually a parfait, when we asked server describe it he failed to mention this. Had we know and we would have ordered something else. We were expecting a piece of cake.

The food is innovative and the service is excellent. I always try to order from the specials menu or get the chef's specials in the to-go case. My diet is very limited due to food sensitivities and I can get food that has no soy, corn, refined sugars and is gmo free. I love the turkey wrap, salmon toast (the paleo flax bread is so good and they use wild salmon!), quinoa bowl (it's served with homemade fermented vegetables which are unbelievably good), avocado mousse, paleo granola and raw oatmeal (can't even explain it, pure deliciousness). If I'm feeling under the weather I go for a cup of bone broth, an immunity shot and the Turmeric Tonic. It's really hard to find good gluten-free baked goods and they have a huge selection. I love the cacao flax bar and the lemon basil cookies. They serve my absolute favorite coffee from Bar 9 in Culver City. For me, this is hands down the best coffee in the South Bay. They offer lots of non-dairy milk choices including organic coconut milk, homemade almond milk and a homemade blend of almond, hazelnut, and cashew milk. I love that I can get my coffee with raw honey, organic maple syrup or one of their homemade flavors (vanilla, mocha, pumpkin spice). Even the dairy milks are organic. Normally I would drive to Venice to eat food like this. I'm so glad there is a neighborhood place that serves healthy, delicious food. I feel great after eating there. It gets busy and sometimes it can be hard to find a seat but it is totally worth it. read more

I am so stoked for the new awakening of the The Source. Planet Earth was wonderful in many respects, but the transformation to The Source is inspiring. And yes Chef Amber is wonderful!!! She really cares about everything going into the cafe, and her personal touch is beautiful to say the least. (I personally am excited to get a jump start on this years detox after finding out they had a wonderful detox tonic/ program) Also, the staff is outgoing and very inviting as well, that has always been the case here, but you can see new light in a already beautiful cafe. I am so happy to have a new source in The Source! January 9 update; 3 weeks into my detox w/ Tumerica tonic and Wow! What a difference!!! Thank you Source Cafe! Much Love!!! March update; (this update is a bit overdue) So, detox done and I can say that I definitely got the results I was looking for. If you can stick to it, you will definitely love the results and your self. This was a learning experience that will stick with me for life. Even though I have finished the detox program itself, it taught me a lot about self and the benefits of taking better care of self. Thanks again Amber, your cafe really is a dedication to better living. I wish more establishments made the same efforts you have with yours... I really wish I could find myself there more often, hope to see you soon! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in the South Bay! I love so much about it: the gluten free options, that they do not use seed oils, and the variety of organic, homemade menu items. And the coffee! I avoid dairy so it's a real treat to have a latte with homemade almond milk, homemade oat milk and The Source always offers a fun, seasonal non-dairy milk option. I typically order the bone broth, soups of the day, a salad, or a panini because they make the best gluten free bread! When I'm in a hurry I choose from the extensive grab and go selections - especially the paleo chicken salad, almond balls, and my new favorite - the peanut butter carnivore bar. When there are specials I always order them and am constantly blown away by the quality, creativity and flavor. I always enjoy my meals at The Source and I feel great after I eat there. The staff is warm and helpful. It is my favorite place to meet a friend at anytime and would eat there every day if I could! As a bonus there's ample street parking on Pier Ave. read more

If I could give this 6 stars I would! I have yet to find a "healthy" restaurant that I get as excited to visit as I do Source Cafe. I work in Santa Monica and even the Westside doesn't have a place that holds a candle to this place. Everything I have had has been amazing, but the avocado toast is particularly killer, the Turmeric Lattes are worth every damn dollar, and despite not being a huge fan of chicken, I've somehow ended up addicted to their chicken salad - it's SO good! I love eating in the actual restaurant because it's cozy, adorable, and I always manage to bump into friends, but it's also my go-to takeout spot when I come home late from work. The prices are also really reasonable for the quality of the food. Thank you Source Cafe for keeping me fueled and healthy! read more

Cute and inviting decor and while the food is fresh and good quality, it's overpriced for the portion. Spicy Veggie Wrap was one slim wrap cut in half with a bit of salad. For $10, it's more like an afternoon snack. I was told the Spicy Veggie Wrap would be more filling than the Avocado Toasts which was also $10... glad I didnt pick that because the portion for the Veggie Wrap was hardly filling. They did a good job with the menu in terms of organization. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free all have their own symbols so it's easy to quickly figure out what you can eat if you follow a special diet. There's also a good number of vegan pastries available. If you have a small stomach and a fat wallet... you might enjoy this place. read more

The Source Cafe in Hermosa Beach is a gem I found that was definitely a needle in a hay stack. Agree with me or not, the quality of the food that we feed ourselves with should be something that we should all be very conscious of. With that said, finding a restaurant that not only serves ORGANIC and NON-GMO food but also does while delivering incredibly tasting entrees, drinks and snacks had been difficult until Amber and the crew showed up. The Source Cafe is the only certified NON-GMO restaurant in the Southbay and it is definitely worth stopping by. I recommend this restaurant to anybody with any diet restrictions and even more to those without. read more

I had a pretty solid positive outlook on them. I ordered the "French Toast Latte". I feel like it should have been called the Burnt toast latte. I genuinely took 3 sips and tossed it away in the trash can on the side walk. I tried to mix it and grabbed a straw to do so and it made it WORSE. I'm extremely disappointed that I wasted $7 on a latte. I've had bad coffees before, but this one took the cake. It tasted like milk, and the espresso tasted acidic, burnt have you. At least with other bad coffees I could stomach at least half of it but this was just really acidic. I noticed other people mentioning the coffee scene in LA isn't the same anymore and this attested to that. They started picking up foot traffic & I wasn't going to wait to ask for a remake or anything, I took the L and life moves on. I wasn't going to play Karen about it. The Lamington pastry somewhat saved the experience. This was an extremely moist, spongy, sweet cake that was delicious with coconut flakes on top. She was AMAZING. I snagged a piece off my friends and it was reeallllly good. I would recommend if you like coconut and a softer spongy cake like pastry! Talk about the underdog in this trip. The aesthetic is cute, it's clean and resembles a house. I like the scheme they have going on. The other half looks like a gift shop that I did not go into. They have a restroom available as well inside. Customer service was just customer service. Nothing amazing or bad about it. Pretty standard. We mentioned it's our first time & the girl didn't really care lol. We had questions and it was very whatever kind of vibe. No enthusiasm. Parking would be on the street so good luck!

The way our order arrived was first my wife's quiche was brought out. Then, several minutes later, our lattes arrived. Don't you hate it when your drinks are delivered after your meal? Then, about twenty minutes later, they brought out my Croque Monsieur. I was about to go and ask where it was when I finally see a staff member coming out with it. The problem was, she brought it to me in a to-go container. They brought my wife's quiche out on a plate, our lattes in mugs, so why was there any confusion? We never ordered anything to-go! From that, we had to go inside and ask for silverware, a plate, and all of that kind of stuff. Just an annoying waste of time! This may seem like a small thing. And, it is. But, this stuff has been going on a lot lately. They really need to get their staff under control, get them listening to their customers, and bring their customers what they ordered. The other problem I have with this place is that it has become overrun with flies. It's really annoying! I mean, we were just batting flies away from our table the whole time we were sitting there. As were a lot of other people. Looking at the open tables and chairs, there were flies just resting on them. I realize this is not their fault. And there's probably nothing they can do about it.

I usually don't add much to my coffee but occasionally get an iced mocha here and it hits... it smacks as the kids say. Nice atmosphere too and sweet back patio.

Hi-Fi is a little coffee shop located on PCH. It's tucked away and if you aren't looking for it,…read morecan miss it. There is minimal seating indoor and outdoors. Parking isn't the best but there is a small lot in back that is available. We ordered the Chai and Honey Latte. The Chai latte was well balanced, not overly sweet or overpowering. The Honey Latte was bright and had a hint of honey but the milk overpowered the espresso. Another downside was that they didn't have almond milk (not sure if they don't carry it regularly or if it was just the day we came that they didn't have it). Prices are a tad inflated. The service was quick but not the most friendly/welcoming.
