50 Best Cafes near Hermosa Beach

“Beautiful beachside cafe and retail shop located on Pier Ave in a historic building.. they have a beautiful patio and also a small dining room inside. Enter left for cafe, right for retail store.. excellent baked goods, sandwiches, salads, and plenty of great beverage selections. The egg white breakfast burrito was veggies rather than the typical breakfast meats and it was great. The chicken breast sandwich on the buckwheat bread was toasted to perfection and super tasty. The atmosphere is very charming beachside historic and reminds you of the age of Hermosa Beach.. original flooring and trim have been preserved from one of the oldest original buildings in town. The service was friendly and efficient with honest recommendations and everyone came out fast and perfecto even though they were nice and busy on a Saturday. Gum Tree is a great place to sit and relax, have a nice meal or a snack, shop for cool and unique housewares, gifts and beach related treasures. Located on the south side of Pier Ave between Monterey and Manhattan.“

Big food portions, fresh ingredients and food is made to order. Try their home made country toast!

It’s a big menu, I haven’t tried anything else, the breakfast is to good.“

“We had such a fantastic time at the Great White Cafe! The atmosphere was great, and the food was even better. My burger was absolutely tremendous - juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. My girlfriend loved her chocolate mousse, which was rich and decadent. Highly recommend this spot for a delicious meal and a great vibe!“

“My experience at Saby’s is always phenomenal. I live close by and this has turned into my go to weekend brunch spot. The food is incredible (I get the chipotle chicken breakfast burrito) almost every time and it never fails to disappoint. Sometimes the food can take a bit but that’s because there is always a line out the door and around the corner! The services is great, the workers are so welcoming and kind (especially Javier, he is the absolute man!!), and every time I come I leave with new appreciation for the establishment. Their coffee is also delicious, I get the Spanish latte with oak milk and it never fails to disappoint. 10/10 would recommend Saby’s to any and everyone!! Also special shoutout to whoever is on aux, they play absolute banger after banger on repeat (atmosphere is elite)!!“

“Great place! Awesome service.“

“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.“

“The food was excellent! The service was excellent also ! Nice place“

“Great place with parking in the back lot. Plenty of seating. Best to find seating before you order. Menu has lots of options. Ordered Mick's scramble was a lot of food but really delicious. They had a limited selection of herbal tea. They bring your order to you. It can get very busy and noisy. Will go again.“

“Awaken Cafe is a wonderful little spot in LA with great coffee, delicious drinks, and fresh pastries. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and family-friendly. It’s a great place to meet friends, bring the kids, or just relax with a good cup of coffee. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area! ☕“

“The açaí bowl is thick, fresh, and tastes like dessert in disguise — perfect fruit, perfect crunch. And the avocado breakfast sandwich? Creamy, seasoned, and actually satisfying. No bland vibes whatsoever.

Short version: it’s delicious, it’s consistent, and I’d 100% go back tomorrow.“

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

“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 !“

“My family and i stopped for lunch. The chorizo omlett is delish. Great service. My toddler loved the waffles.“

“Fabulous hyper-farm-to-table food by a creative chef, on Main St in Santa Monica. I’ve tried the Gazpacho, the many Danish Rye toasts with what is fresh that day: eggs, salmon roe, avocado or ....? They also have baristas that make all type of drinks. My fab place to indulge healthy and fresh“

“Además de lo delicioso que estaban los Shucos y los Chai tea que disfrutamos el ambiente es muy agradable y su personal muy amigable. Sí lo recomiendo“

“Wish we had this amazing cafe back home. The menu? There were so many appetizing choices, it was hard to choose! 😊The food is super yummy and the people who run it are so sweet!“

“I tried the limited-edition Super Bowl Dog, and it was seriously delicious. Packed with flavor and perfectly done—definitely worth ordering if you see it on the menu.

The pretzel bun burger was just as impressive. Juicy, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying, with a patty that delivers on every bite.

Everything felt well thought out and indulgent in the best way. Highly recommended!“

“So much to say… but ultimately, Colossus in Long Beach is WONDERFUL!! The BEST BLT I’ve ever had. Because they use high quality ingredients! Their Soft-Scrambled Egg Toast is divine. And everything is beautifully fresh. I love their country bread, baguettes, olive cumin bread, dinner rolls… but I have so much more to try Their pastries are scrumptious: Pecan Sticky Bun, Cardamom Bun, Kouign Amann, Financier, Marzipan Croissant, Sea Salt Brownie, OG Chocolate Chip Cookie. It’s all amazing and I’ve brought a number of friends to show off this incredible Belmont Shore Bakery. On Friday nights Colossus serves pizza into the night. Again, high-quality ingredients make their pizzas delicious. Plus they have interesting and unique combinations. They are tip free because their starting wage is $21/hr. Great customer service. Cute little space with some lovely specialty spice mixes, food items, merch, and wine. Indoor and outdoor seating, and they serve tasty coffees and teas. Colossus feels like a little bit of Europe on 2nd Street.“

“One of all favorites branch place in Redondo Beach area, they close at 2 PM. We love their hot and fresh food after order doesn’t take more than 15 minutes. Parking is a little hassle, but it’s still worth it. If you go 2/3 blocks away, you can easily find parking. Before you go, make sure to get in the line from yelp otherwise you have to wait in the line. Service is excellent.“

“Best Sunday Brunch- we were first timers and when other customers rave about the food while waiting for a table you know it’s gonna be great! And it was - not to mention the fresh orange juice mimosas! Awesome service … I’ll be back!!“

“Great food and , great customer service. You feel like home. Love it“

“good food good coffee good service and very close to home“

“Per usual 917 did not disappoint. The experience is Always pleasurable. The menu offers a variety of tasteful options which evolves according to season, along with keeping some staple items such an their amazing burger. The service is always exceptional, efficient and friendly. We look forward to our next experience.“

“High quality food, tastes like the homemade wholesome Ukrainian food back in Ukraine. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. 😀“

I always enjoy my conversations with the amazing people that work here.
This place is so welcoming and clean.
Plenty of parking.
The owners are so kind and friendly

Thank you to the whole team 😊“

“This place is a hidden gem. My favorite spot to go whenever I’m in the area.
I have yet to find a single item that didn’t hit the spot. The drinks and food are both perfect and there’s a great variety to pick from. Mark is the man!“

“We found this place by accident and decided to try some açaí right away and I’m so glad we did. I have to say. if you’re looking for a real Brazilian superfood açaí experience, you’re going to love this place. It’s one of the best açaí bowls I’ve had outside of Brazil. The staff is very friendly, and on top of that, you can choose unlimited toppings. Highly recommend!“

“A delicious made from scratch falafel in a great sandwich. Friendly staff. Since my first review I have returned and tried their Chicken and Cheese sandwich. Even better then the falafel sandwich! It is a chicken salad sandwich with lots of yummy chicken salad and Swiss cheese. I had their regular French fries 🍟 Very tasty. Again the staff was very friendly and helpful. Did I mention the tasty chicken?😋😋“

“Great place but horrible customer service !!! I wanted to order online and it was an issue with the website (availability and discount problems). At first they were really nice and reactive but then they just disappeared and ignored my messages ! I asked them 3 times to answer me but nothing….. I have never seen that in the US ! Really disappointing. And their answer on Google made it just worse. Although the shop is amazing, I won’t go anymore.“

“The cutest little Matcha store. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They have a little container of dog treats for your 4 legged friends. The matcha was great! We sat in the store for a bit to relax and browse all the Knick knacks they had for sale. The cool breeze blowing through the open windows and doors was nice.“

“We stumbled upon this little café by chance while driving from the airport — and what a hidden gem it turned out to be! I honestly envy the office workers who get to have this place nearby every day.

It's a small café, but everything they serve is top-tier culinary art — the sandwiches, coffee, and salads are absolutely delicious. And the soups… just wow! We tried the pumpkin and broccoli soups — both incredibly tasty and nourishing. My 7-year-old son usually won’t touch broccoli, but he loved their broccoli soup and ate it with great pleasure.

We've only been there a couple of times over the past year, but it’s definitely on our list for every future trip to Los Angeles. Can’t wait to come back!“

“This is a good choice when you want shave ice dessert the flavors are natural I’m allergic to a lot of colors and they don’t add any additives so if you were sensitive as I am, I has not reacted to anything that I have order there, which is very common with this desert. they had lots of colors this place doesn’t.“

“I discovered Jade Snow located at the King Harbor pier in Redondo Beach while biking on the path along the sand near the ocean. Initially, I tried their smoothies and then the various fresh fruit dishes including the MACHA, ACAI, and the DRAGON. The fruits were always fresh, the presentation always appealing, and the taste always gratifying. The staff are friendly and bring my order to me, rather than call my order number and hand it to me over the counter.

Jade Snow has been a fantastic place for me to stop by, get tasty / healthy nutrition, and refresh on my cycling route.“

“This coffee shop is an absolute gem! I’ve been working with the City since graduating in 2018, when the coffee scene was still in its infancy. I’m so happy that small, independent shops like this are helping to expand and freshen up the scene. This place is my absolute favorite!! It’s incredibly difficult to find a coffee bean that’s citrusy, chocolaty, and well-balanced. And the staff is super friendly and welcoming. I think I’m going too much because they know my preferences and even my name now, LOL. I’m so glad my fellow city people recommended this place. -Sal“

“Delicious food and beautiful decor!“

“Such a great place to stop for breakfast during our first morning in Santa Monica. My avocado toast was a bit light on the avocado, but the eggs were fantastic quality and cooked perfectly. I ate every bite! Service is a bit slower but the ambiance is great and once you place your order you can take a seat at a table and watch everything happening on the beach.“

“Had the vegan tacos and white pomegranate tea....Absolutely delicious!!!!“

“Croque madame, croissant ou chocolate, chocolate ou lavande, soup de’oignon“

“The best boba! 🤤 Convenient! the best place to find snacks, this is the PLACE; when I’m craving for a good street Mexican food; banana split- some fresh cooked corn with butter 😍(esquites) fresh strawberries with cream. And fresh healthy juice.“

“Love their food! Such a hidden gem of Gardena. I have their food at least once a week (especially after a hectic week)

I haven’t try their phở but I recommend try their bun bo hue, my quang, banh mi, and duck noodle haha“

“I love the lattes and pastries here. My chai lattes in almond milk is just the right amount of spice to sweetness. Asked for it extra hot and they delivered. I enjoy the set up and the ambience. That said, the place is not very disabled friendly. Yes, it is accessible, a wheelchair can navigate easily. However, the seating is mostly on high stools and with the shorter seats on the second floor. The stools are almost as high as my waist, yes, I am short. I am disabled and unable to climb on to them. Paid $9.50 for a large chai lattes in almond milk with cinnamon. Breakfast runs between $12 - $16 a person. There is an added 5% surcharge if using a card. A bit pricey, but tasty.“

“음료가 맘에 들어요.“

“Better tasting boba compared to the location in cerritos and delicious macroons. I got the specialty smootie milk and honey with mini boba and egg pudding. It tastes amazing. I wanted to try the Nutella and green tea macroons however they were sold out. I settled for the fruity pebble and I loved it.“
