Indie cafe run by a friendly young artist couple. Grab a yummy drink/treat for walking the The Strand or take a break to soak up the ambiance, get local travel tips, and browse their Little Free Library. Highly recommended!

I been here once and it was good, came back and had the same drink and it was horrible. Horrible service too and lots of flies everywhere, also it smelled like trash. Not coming back. Don't recommend.

Fred always makes such an inviting environment, truly making sure everyone who comes in the door feels a part of the community and leaves with even better food and a snack :)

Had the privilege to meet the owners. Wife and husband ran business and they are super welcoming and humble. The staff is very polite and offers amazing service. Such an amazing location near the beach makes perfect place to stop and grab a coffee ☕️ and pastry. They offer a variety of drinks and they all sounded so good. I'm definitely going back next week.
Had a delicious turmeric smoothie with Oat milk on my first visit. There were 2 lovely and friendly ladies working there. I returned the next day to order the same thing and was disappointed when there were 2 young men working instead. They had the music cranked up so loud that I didn’t hear when he said he asked what milk I wanted, so he made it with whole milk. When I realized it and told him, he got upset with me. He remade my drink but told me in an unfriendly tone, to wait outside while he remade it. It didn’t taste as good as the day before. When I stopped by the following day and saw it was the same 2 guys working, I didn’t bother going in.
If I had reviewed this spot based on my visit with the ladies it would have been all 5 stars. The young man working the cash register needs an attitude adjustment or should be replaced.

We loved Gitana Cafe so much, we went twice during our weekend in Hermosa! The space is super cute and cozy, and they served our lattes quickly both times. The strawberry matcha was a favorite—highly recommend! Definitely a go-to spot for great drinks and good vibes.

Cute find! We got lucky and the upstairs nook became available for us. Sweet little cafe. We had the chicken panini, bacon burrito and empanadas and all were delicious. We also had the the strawberry matcha and Spanish latte - perfect!

We recently moved to Hermosa Beach, CA, and within just a few weeks, Gitana Café, only a short walk from our home, has become our favorite weekend spot.
We have a 16-month-old daughter, and this place is incredibly kid-friendly. It’s also a go-to hangout for local runners, giving it a vibrant, welcoming community vibe. The pastries are phenomenal, and the breakfast burrito is an absolute must.
As a Colombian native🇨🇴, I know a thing or two about coffee, and while many cafés offer a similar product, Gitana truly stands out for its warmth, authenticity, and heart. Freddy, Fernanda, and the entire team make you feel genuinely special. There’s always a story, a friendly face, and a sincere sense of connection every time you visit.
My girlfriend fell in love with their hats (we ended up taking home three!). Whether you’re a local or just visiting, you’ve got to stop by Gitana. It’s more than a café, it’s a whole vibe.
