50 Best Coffee Shops near Harbor City

“Wonderful coffee shop, delicious drinks and pastries, and a great atmosphere. I usually order the aventurero latte and coffee cake. Yum!“

“Thas sufren flavors dipens what you asking for“

“I had such a great experience at this Starbucks thanks to Luke. He was warm, friendly, and really took the time to make sure my drink was just right. Not only was the coffee perfect, but his positive attitude genuinely brightened my morning. It’s rare to find service that feels both professional and personal, and Luke delivered both effortlessly. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Relaxing smells of coffee ☕️ and close to home“

“Very good coffee. Wouldn’t say it’s like most other coffees I’ve tried. The flavor wasn’t as distinct to what I imagine a cinnamon roll would be, but it still was a great sip throughout. Great interior too. And the staff that took and made my order was clearly a bit tired or lower energy at first. I didn’t take any offense as it looked like she was a little overworked, but grace and blessings to her. She deserves a good tip every time for making great drinks all around.“

“Love this place! ❤️ Great tea and delicious pastries! The scones are my favorite! Great atmosphere and definitely one of my to-go-to fave places!“

“Great, truly great pourovers. I had the “Big City” and my wife had an Ethiopian, and both were excellent.

Parking is tough. We went around 8am on a Saturday morning so we got the last parking spot.

I bet locals just walk there but we were coming from the airport.“

“Such a wonderful experience! The staff at the counter were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The hot chocolate was rich, delicious, and perfectly prepared. I Highly recommend this spot for excellent service and a warm, cozy atmosphere.“

“This place is awesome. Really good food, drinks & merch. The only complaint I have is I wish people with their laptops who sit at a 4 top table alone understood how selfish that is when this place is incredibly busy. I always thought cafes should have a time limit for people with laptops or a bar set up on the wall just for people with laptops. You literally are fighting for your life for a table there on the weekends. Will still go though lol“

“cute local coffee shop, friendly & great recommendations“

“The Crepe Heaven Special Crepe was exactly what I was craving! The egg was cooked perfectly. Everything was so fresh and delicious. We also loved the banana almond honey crepe. Best $2.50 coffee ever!!! Clean & comfortable Service was top notch too! Highly recommend!“

“My son & I decided to try here for the first time. What a COOL place!!! I love the vibe, the merch, the selections, literally everything about it!!! We will absolutely be back 🥳🥳“

“Distrito Coffee is the kind of place that feels deeply rooted in its neighborhood, gritty, authentic, and unapologetically itself. The cafemirrors the energy of San Pedro with an atmosphere that’s raw yet welcoming. The decor and music are bold, a little abrasive in the best way, but somehow still inclusive, creating a space where everyone feels like they belong if they’re willing to lean into the vibe.

What truly elevates Distrito is the coffee. The espresso is a beautiful counterpoint to the edgy exterior, warm, nuanced, and surprisingly delicate, with layered flavors that show real care and craft. It’s the kind of espresso that makes you slow down and pay attention.

The baristas are effortlessly cool, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and clearly passionate about what they’re doing. The customers match the energy, artists, locals, and regulars who give the place its soul. Distrito Coffee isn’t trying to be trendy or polished. It’s real, confident, and memorable, a neighborhood café that delivers both character and exceptional coffee.“

“Love this local coffee spot! Friendly staff, good coffee selection and always great music vibes. ✨ My favorite is the “It’s Bananas”, iced or hot!!!“

“Micah was my barista who was very knowledgeable about the espresso machine and the coffee beans used in the process of the French Toast Latte.“

“nice relaxing atmospuhere“

“Serendipitously, I saw information about this place when I was randomly scrolling online.
The food was excellent. I ordered two items to go, the avocado toast and a breakfast burrito. (I should have taken pictures because the items were beautifully presented in addition to being delicious! 🤓)
Beautiful atmosphere. The decor is inviting. Very clean.
It fulfilled and then exceeded my expectations.“

“Amazing tea, great people, such a safe welcoming atmosphere, and cheap drinks. 5/5 ⭐️“

“I would probably say that this coffee shop is a great meet point for coffee lovers! The service was fabulous, and the variety of coffee served in the ambiance. They have delicious baklava and also iconic signature coffes. I will be back again for sure!“

“Cozy and beautiful work space Great coffee. Wrigley Coffee is the Best community coffee shop ever !“

“Cappuccino, espresso, croissant, cornetto, are my favorites, but everything is fresh and delicious! Service and atmosphere is great! Alessandro got it right! Bravo!!“

“Large selection of coffees and teas as well as delicious fresh bake goods and sandwich selections…Beats ANY Starbucks!“

“Im excited to write this review of all the rest because this place is what a coffee shop should be! Fast, courteous and very fresh. My vanilla latte was HOT just as i like it. The almond Danish was fresh. Smiles at the first encounter was best customer service I have experienced in a long time. Thank you!“

“Such a cute and cozy place great for Instagram photos. Yummy latte and homemade muffin ☕️“

“It’s not really great for gluten free but that’s normal for coffee shops. I like the steamers: hot milk of your choice with a syrup of your choice. It was perfect to warm up with after a long day. The music plays softly in the background and you can have a conversation easily. They also use Joshua Tree Coffee which is a great coffee. Service was helpful and polite.“

“Got here right when they opened (accidentally) and decided to give it a try since there was no line ! I ordered an iced americano and it was solid. Price was fair. They had a really cool clock on the wall and my barista was super kind. I’d definitely go back !“

“Quaint, cozy, comfortable. Honeycake is probably the best I’ve had. Coffee is mediocre but you’re likely coming for syrniki and comforting environment. Great friendly service that makes you want to come back. 3 tables inside and 4 tables outside.“

“I absolutely love Tot Coffee. Their blueberry cream matcha with oat milk is my favorite drink. It started as a seasonal item but might be on their menu permanently now. My coworker loves the Blue’s Clues signature latte, which has blueberry purée, peppermint, milk, and espresso, and my other coworker switches between the pour-over coffee and cappuccino.

I also love their pastries, especially the spinach pastry, baguette with jam, croissant, and pain au chocolat. Everything we have tried has been delicious.

You can tell the owner is very mindful, which makes for a consistently pleasant experience every time we visit. The drinks don’t change depending on who makes them, and I find comfort in that consistency. I love the café’s minimal but mindful aesthetic. I could sit there all day to work, read, or meet with friends or clients.

The café has a mellow and inviting vibe. They also host the No Bounds Run Club, which is very inclusive for both slower runners like me and faster runners. There is a group that runs 2.5 miles and another that runs 4.5 miles. They meet every Saturday at 7 a.m., and afterwards you get a password for a discount at the coffee shop. You don’t need to sign up, you can just show up. I’m not a consistent runner, but the No Bounds Run Club has made me more consistent because I love the reward of a yummy drink after the run, and I love that someone will walk with me without judgment if I don’t feel like running the whole time.

I love that Tot Coffee is not just a coffee shop but also building a community.“

“I only like this place cause it's where my sugar daddy took me so it's low-key“

“Amazing assortment of breads! So many great pastries! A nice and relaxing atmosphere with friendly service!“

“The blueberry pinwheel was FABULOUS. Strawberry cheese croissant, prefectly flakey. Amazing bakery, giving fresh-baked, homemade, French-countryside vibes. I don’t often review, but when i find such a good small business I have to. Pricing was good too.“

“Micah was my barista who was very knowledgeable about the espresso machine and the coffee beans used in the process of the French Toast Latte.“

“great breakfast sandwich“

“I had a really great time here and finished my video without any problems. It is definitely a place worth visiting for those who want to balance work and leisure.“

“My wife and I are retired and we both love going out for breakfast. We have been looking for a special breakfast location in the south bay for some time and tried Mr. G's . IT IS BY FAR OUR FAVORITE LOCATION - it is a fun, family owned cafe with an extensive menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can't beat the food, the price and the friendly staff. We are now Mr. G's regulars .“

“I like to enjoy my favorite White Chocolate mocha and the good people !! They are very servicial with the customers !“

“What a hidden gem! Im not a coffee drinker so I look for the other options. Whats great here are..

1. Iced Oolong Ceylon tea
2. Spiced Chai
3. Mango peach passion really

Gonna go back to try other things! The staff is very nice. Support this business!“

“Feel the love!! Impeccable coffee made with kind hands - fills the soul! ♥️“

“Very good coffee.
My personal favorite is the mocha..which I have to say is excellent most of the time. Most of the time, because I don't feel like different baristas are trained to make it one specific way. Which is what I want in coffee.. consistency.
Luckily, most of the time it's really good.
I love their patio..its among the prettiest I've ever been to..people don't seem to use it more for some reason.“

“Lots of seating, great atmosphere and coffee and close to a 2nd hand store for a little retail therapy!!“

“Great crew serving great coffee.“

“So good!! Never misses! Became my favorite spot“

“Amazing authentic baklava. Thank you for sticking it out! 💗💗“

“El café es de verdad muy sabroso estilo Michoacán ahora los molletes! mmmmm ☺️“

“Being in a strip mall is a certain win as it meant dedicated parking spaces and yes it’s free! Also IYKYK, strip mall around this area was typically coming in decent size and so did the parking.

Well-lit venue, plenty of seats and even abundant plugs. As expected, you could see tons of guests were studying and working. Not few even came in bigger group.

Not realizing that they provided detailed version of the menu, I initially was thrown off looking at the wall menu as most of the names weren’t familiar. Thanks to the helpful attendant, making me going for what she said as one of their favorites; the latte served with honey, vanilla, and cinnamon - called as miel. Being the specialist in beans as well, no doubt the coffee was of great quality. One tip, if you weren’t that much into sweet, you might wanna customize it and request for less sweet.“

“So glad this new spot is in Long Beach. The coffee (cold brew and cortados) are exceptional, and my wife was pumped on the selection of wine. I regularly drop i for a coffee and to get a little work done on my laptop.“

“This casual restaurant tucked away upstairs in Nordstrom has a great menu, with French onion soup, a delicious club sandwich, and artichoke dip. Every dish is fresh and delicious! Seasonal menu keeps a rotation of tasty options, including food and drink. We love shopping, dropping in for dinner, and then walking the mall. Great food break that's not as crazy busy as Din Tae Fung, but you'll still want a reservation.“

“Love the customer service here, shoutout to Noe!

It’s a nice and quiet coffee/tea shop with plenty of seats available. They have charging hubs (portables) on the main table which you can borrow to charge your devices. It charged my MacBook 15inch and still had battery left in it.

The experience is pleasant. The menu is simple, and they only serve one size. The wifi is OK, could’ve been a bit more reliable, but nothing concerning.

The restroom (only one) is very clean. Outdoor seating is in the mall.

The coffee is delicious, and the Matcha (according to my partner) is very good. The food is also good, but nothing special; just coffee shop quality.“

“This Vietnamese spot quietly sits inside a bland strip mall but surprises in every bite. The pho was rich and fragrant, and their pho‑French‑dip banh mi served on Persian bread was unforgettable. I appreciated how inventive yet respectful their flavor combinations stayed. Seating is minimal, but the staff are attentive and efficient. It’s precisely the sort of hidden gem locals appreciate—not glossy, just excellent food“

“Fantastically creative, artsy boutique filled with treasures of all types and textures. Great clothing finds for moms and daughters. Dads too. Love the local art. Love the owner even more.“
