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.“

“This place is something special. You can feel how intentional everything is from the sourcing of the beans to the way each flavor is brought out so thoughtfully in every cup. There’s a real sense of care, passion, and pride behind what they do, and it shows.

Honestly, it awakened a deeper love of coffee for me. Not just something to drink, but something to experience.“

“Bluestone lane….more like 5 star lane!! This place was absolutely amazing to me and my fiancée. We will definitely be back. Shoutout Randal for making my day. I walked in there not knowing what to get and he knew exactly what I needed and his smile and attitude made everything better. Shoutout to all the other staff as well. I didn’t get a chance to try out the food, but that gives me a reason to go back.“

“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!“

“cute local coffee shop, friendly & great recommendations“

“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“

“Crepe Heaven Café in Lawndale is a brilliant five-star destination that truly lives up to its name. They excel at delivering both authentic French-style crepes and a warm, inviting atmosphere. This is the spot for the freshest, lightest crepes, whether you're craving sweet or savory.
Must-Try Items: For a savory delight, the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Crepe is the perfect start to any morning. For dessert, you absolutely must indulge in their classic Nutella and Banana Crepe, which is pure perfection. Pair any crepe with one of their expertly made Espresso Drinks for the ultimate café experience.“

“Such a sweet and kind establishment“

“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!!!“

“nice relaxing atmospuhere“

“I couldn’t make my flight connection and was stuck here for a day. I’m glad I did. I ended up here to meet up with some friends and saw “matcha and chai” on the menu. Apparently they’re separate menu items, but I just asked if they could do both. They were awesome enough to try it and here I am writing a review of how blessed I am to get stuck in LA with a matcha & chai latte.“

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

“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 🥳🥳“

“This location for goodboybob has been a favorite of my wife and I since we moved to the south bay. Its convenient location adjacent to the public library and a block up from the beach makes it a frequent pit stop or starting point for us. The coffees are always delicious and the pastries are solid. Though the pastries can run a little pricey it is consistent with the surrounding market. I specifically am writing this review to highlight though the excellent service. Today one of the baristas (I believe his name was Saul??) generously and pleasantly explained the different beans when he noticed I was checking some of the bags and he spent the time to explain to be the different beans, the variations in roasting process that differentiate some of them, his favorites, and went as far to provide me a fresh hot sample of some that we were discussing. At the end of it I left with just the latte I came in for(which was exceptional as always), but I also left with greater appreciation for the coffee I was enjoying and a good idea of what I can look for and enjoy in my coffee.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“i enjoy this spot for both studying and spending time with friends. they have a great amount and variety of both indoor and outdoor seating. the drinks they serve also have a wide selection to choose from, with the mango mochi being one of my favorites. i recently tried the pistachio croissant which was so balanced in not being too sweet while being a perfect treat/dessert after our meal right before. definitely a spot i enjoy returning to frequently“

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

“Soft completely impressed me from the interior design to the taste of every drink and dessert.

I was honestly surprised (in the best way) when I saw Medivnyk in the display case - it instantly made me wonder who the owner is. And you can truly feel a Ukrainian soul in this place.

It’s incredibly clean, beautifully designed, and you can see in every detail that a lot of love and care has been put into it.

The service is amazing!!!! The staff know everything about the drinks and desserts and genuinely want to make your experience perfect. We followed their recommendations, and it was absolutely worth it.

I chose the banana matcha, and my husband had a drink with Belgian chocolate- both were incredible. The flavors are perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and you can really tell everything is homemade, crafted with attention to every ingredient.

I’m honestly so impressed - it almost made me emotional to find a place like this in the U.S. We came here just for the weekend, but we’re definitely coming back tomorrow for more drinks and desserts. This is the kind of place you want to visit every single day.

Thank you for creating such a beautiful space, and I truly wish you many happy customers 💛🩵“

“Seeing that had high review I decided to come check it out. Just walking in the place you can already determine that are about to wow your taste buds. We got the Blueberry Matcha and a Vanilla matcha they were amazing. Come try this place and dont forget the cream top !!!“

“Fantastic coffee, a must stop if you are in the area. I had an amazing Cortado, their Americano was also very good. They even had a couple of gluten free snack options which is appreciated. The GF chocolate olive oil cake was excellent. The little outdoor seating area is also a nice touch.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A great cafe in the promenade with stuff for everyone. They have a variety of incredible coffees depending on the mood from delicious sweet lates to bold dark espressos and Americanos. There matcha selection is also on point with a selection of tasty options depending on what you like. The almond croissant is a 10/10 and probably the best I have ever had. No matter when you go in the servers are always very friendly, the drinks comes fast, and the environment feels alive as it is filled with adults talking and students studying among the cute modern interior. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality drink and a quick pastry to eat.“

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

“amazing coffee's, great barista/owner“

“The omelette sourdough sandwich tastes amazing! The cheese pill made my mouth water, and the iced matcha latte was a perfect addition. Claudia also holds little art exhibitions for kids and gives classes separately! Such a cute touch seeing kids proudly showcasing their art work . Beautiful atmosphere.“

“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!“

“great breakfast sandwich“

“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!“

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

“The coffee was incredible here and the staff were really friendly. I did wish that they had gluten free options but I understand that that isn’t always an option for cafes. Lovely outdoor area and it connects through an outdoor garden seating area to “pages” a bookstore.“

“Great crew serving great coffee.“

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

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

“Woke up hung over af and had cravings for some soup. Found this gem through a friend and I lucked out bc I was craving chicken pho, my favorite. Have to say it's my first time in this area (Wrigley Village) but it's nice to know there are still cozy corner stores serving up small specialized menu items. P.S Compliments to the chef for the wonderful bowl of goodness and s/o to my server Nick for being awesome! Definitely will be back to try their other items like their banh mi (that pho French dip sounds🔥🔥)“

“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.“
