16 Best Coffee Shops in Malibu

“The food was very delicious, and I really loved the vibe of the cafe. Everything is white, bright, and beautifully designed, which makes the atmosphere feel very pleasant and stylish.

The service could definitely be better, though. We had to wait quite a while for a plate, and at one point I even had to get up myself to get a spoon. That part was a little disappointing.

Overall, it’s a beautiful place with a great atmosphere and really tasty food. I still enjoyed my experience and would come back for the food and the vibe!“

“Excellent customer service!! Great coffee and pastry, thank you 😁“

“Good Atmosphere and environment“

“Iced Cold Brew was outstanding!“

“I’m so glad they have a gluten-free pizza option, and it actually tasted really good! The atmosphere was also super cute — it was really nice to sip on a drink and enjoy pizza in such a lovely space.

That being said, I do think it’s a little overrated on Instagram. But it’s definitely a fun spot if you’re looking for something different to do. You can also come with your kids or your dog!“

“Great experience for my 11 year old daughter. Highly recommend.“

“We liked it so much we had to go two days in a row. Service was good especially the bar staff on the patio. First day, hubby had the burger…amazing and I had the Tortilla salad…wow!! The white iced tea was refreshing. The second day we shared the crab cakes and the Lobster sliders and those can’t be beat!! The mimosas were delicious because they fresh squeeze the orange juice every morning. If we lived closer this would be a spot we would frequent! It is a must if you are at the Seaport Village in San Diego!!“

“Sparrow Cafe is a cozy, stylish spot serving fresh coffee, pastries, and light bites with a relaxed coastal feel. The menu is simple but well-executed, and the quality ingredients shine through. Friendly service and a laid-back atmosphere make it a perfect stop for breakfast or a casual coffee break near the beach.“

“There’s something about Malibu mornings that just hit different, and grabbing my caramel macchiato at this Starbucks felt like the perfect way to start the day. The staff here deserves real credit — super friendly, quick with the orders, and even on a busy morning rush they kept the vibe calm and easy. Service alone is a 5.

The coffee? Exactly what I wanted. Hot, strong, and balanced with that caramel sweetness I come back for every time. I’ve been to plenty of Starbucks all over California, but this one keeps a special spot on my list whenever I’m in Malibu.

The interior is clean and modern with plenty of seating inside, and the outside patio is a nice bonus if you want to sit under the umbrellas and breathe in the ocean air just a few minutes away. The only thing that threw me off — there’s no restroom inside. Honestly, I didn’t expect that in a Malibu Starbucks. Not a dealbreaker, but surprising for sure.

Still, it’s all about the coffee and the service, and they nailed both. For me, this place is locked at ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Pro tip: grab your drink here before heading down to the beach or cruising the PCH — it sets the tone just right.“

“If you want to use the words “epic awesome” I think you’d be describing this place they have a lot of fun even actually have a VHS player where you can watch older movies and enjoy yourself seating is incredible especially outdoors because of course you’re in Malibu but I have to tell you the espresso? It’s absolutely perfect I ordered the Doppio con Panna and for dessert I tried out the gelato this is the first time I have a combined it salted peanut butter with chocolate and let me tell you even Reeses couldn’t make something this heavenly! The staff was incredibly friendly the environment was loads of fun and the music was great I love the gelato the texture and flavor well well worth it in the flavor of the coffee was smooth with not too strong of an aftertaste I threw some whip cream on my espresso though because I still have that sweet tooth I just can’t get rid of“

“My new favorite breakfast hang-out. Not cheap - but who really wants CHEAP? I had one of the best Latte Macciatos I ever had - their subs were crunchy and delicious, can't wait to go again. Service was very friendly - and the ambiance was very nice.Would I do a 30-minute detour just to eat here (mandatory in my rating scheme to achieve 5 stars)? I certainly would (and just did ;-)“

“No napkins at all Very bad for business“

“The respect & professionalism by majority of the employees.“

“Maria D is beyond outstanding!! Every single day, without fail, she has a wonderful welcome, superior client service and accurate every time. Her smile shines through her mask and we truly appreciate her. There are a lot of places to get coffee and tea but Maria D keeps us coming back to McD’s on the PCH. Thank you, Maria D ❤️“
