50 Best Cafes near Manhattan Beach

“I was looking for a bagel spot because my normal spot was closed. The shop is small but it was easy to order early morning (7am) on a weekday.

There are several pastry options - I got the Sourdough bagel with a yummy salmon cream cheese!

It was a good bagel! Not the best bagel but I'd go back to try another!“

“Flavors that never get old. Tasty on every bite!“

“They have the most authentic crepe I’ve had in the states!! The owner is a nice young French gentleman, and his staff are the sweetest!
I work near by and I’m there pretty much daily, bad for the calories but good for the heart haha❤️“

“Delicious food and amazing view“

“Fast casual Mexican spot located in the Bristol Farms complex. Free ample parking. Credit cards accepted. You can order online or at the counter and then they’ll bring the food out to you. Vegetarian-friendly. Indoor dining only (no outdoor options). They have a self-service salsa bar where you can choose from four different types of salsas. The people there were friendly and there was a generous amount of meat in the nachos. I’d come back here if I want a quick meal that’s not too far from the beach.“

“Awesome coffee with very pleasant employees.“

“Super service and awesome selection of coffee drinks. Attention to detail is on point.“

“The perfect blend of amazing coffee, coffee drinks and tasty food. My favorites are the smoked salmon toast with a flat white coffee.“

“Great white is an amazing place. I’ve been there for dinner and lunch. The breakfast burrito is my favorite in all of LA but the dinner experience, the atmosphere is very fun it’s the perfect spot for casual family friendly dinner where the food is amazing The burger was delicious and so are the fish tacos. finally, the banana bread for dessert was so tasty.“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“The Menemen was absolutely delicious - fresh, flavorful, and almost as good as the one I had in Istanbul! 😊 It reminded me so much of the Bulgarian mish-mash. The oat milk latte was perfectly smooth, too. I’ll definitely be back! ☕❤“

“My fiancée and I are fortunate enough to live a short walk away from Yagul and can’t get enough of it! Authentic and delicious Oaxacan food/drink (you literally cannot go wrong with anything on the menu) and the most wonderful and warm staff you’ll find in all of West LA. One of the true gems in our community.“

“The sweet and Saby’s burrito was good - like a 7.6/10. It was hot but lacked texture. Need to griddle the outside.

Unfortunately, we ordered in the restaurant at 9:30 and had to wait over an hour for our burritos. It was absolutely chaos inside with DoorDash and uberEats people yelling about their orders every second. They need to dedicate a specific area outside to to-go orders.

Had high expectations. Was just fine.“

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

“Such a sweet and kind establishment“

“The food is amazing. But what I like the most is the atmosphere. We decided to seat outside. Lovely cute chairs, quiet and breathy. Same deal for the inside. Food was tasty and portions very good in size. We got savory crepe - Crepe heaven special with egg, turkey and cheese. Very good balance of stuffing and crepe. The crepe itself is delicious. Not too dry or chewy. Sweet crepe was loaded with fruits, we’ve opted for condensed milk instead of Nutella. Two crepes to split between two people. We also got coffee and coffee was not bad. I am very picky with coffee but their coffee was surprisingly good! Highly recommend! Pictured strawberry banana crepe with condensed milk.“

“The breakfast / brunch menu has a good concept and good options. The merguez sandwich was good, but too oily. The fries were done well but too salty.

I wish they cooked the food with less oil and salt. Maybe I'll request that if I stop by to eat there again.“

“Great place! Awesome service.“

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

“The staff and owners are beyond amazing!! Their love for the community and passion to serve others makes me believe in goodness again in this world. I love you guys! Thank you so much for all you do!!“

“Fantastic coffee. espresso or drip, they know exactly what they are doing“

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

“So much more than a bookstore with a coffee shop. It's a perfect cafe to meet up, get a unique book, do a work session, or catch one of the many events - it's a place with people that make you feel part of the community. It's a very unique spot where everyone feels invited and welcome.“

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

“Muy buena y personal muy amable“

“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! ☕“

“Not close to my first time getting coffee here, I've also come for various events, but its my first time leaving a review, because I couldn't not do so for this. Got their email with the new seasonal drinks including this Orange Blossom latte that I just have to try. Ordered it from home on their app as I head out for work yesterday, get there, head straight to the counter, it's not there. All good, I'm only 5 mins away, I see it's already packed in here this early in the AM, so it's just not ready yet. I sit to wait... tick, tick, tick, time goes past, commute out there's getting worse, time to clock in's getting closer, where's my coffee? One of the baristas calls me up to the counter and she's like: What'd you get? I tell her and she says I don't have a ticket for that. I tell her, No I ordered it on the app. I go to look, and Dang, still unpaid in my cart. Line at the counter's long so I reorder on the app right there on the spot, go sit back down. Tick, tick, tick... tick, tick, tick... Girl calls me back up to the counter: I still don't see your order... No, you saw me order it. Pull it up on my app and Fuuu, I ordered it for Hill St in DTLA, this is Slauson. I look up and she says: Don't worry about it, you don't have to drive all the way over there, I gotchu. I dropped $5 bucks in their glass tip jar on my way out. Ain't no way Starbux up the road would've done that. I wish I'd gotten her name, but if you're reading this, you have no idea how much you made my morning yesterday. Thank youuu! And that OBL was so good.“

“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“

“Everything about this place is PERFECTION. The owner, Plern, is an absolute genius! Plern has so much talent and puts all her heart into this place. You really feel like you’re being cared for here.“

“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!“

“As a Chicago resident, I am thrilled to have found Rockenwagner Bachelor Sourdough at my local Target! It is hands-down one of the best sourdough loaves on the market. My daughter actually makes amazing sourdough from scratch, which I love, but it is not an everyday luxury. Finding a store-bought loaf down the street that rivals her homemade taste makes me incredibly happy! 😋“

“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“

“Oh my gosh! Great food! Huge portions! Awesome staff- so very friendly! Love this place! Shhhh- don’t tell everyone about this place- tee hee! Seriously some delicious food!❤️“

“I came in wanting a caramel macchiato and that wasn’t in the menu but one of the kind baristas was willing to make it and it came out amazing! He was willing to accommodate to our wants! Thank you so much and I’ll definitely be a returning customer :)“

“First time at this Cafe. Super nice atmosphere the people are great! My dad always says “that’s what makes a place good”. The food was very good (sorry no pics) but I ordered the Wildflower Two’s (eggs over easy w/ham and potatoes (not greasy) and rosemary garlic toast. Our server Andrea was super nice! Reasonable prices and the best 80’s music ever!! Nice little gem 💎 they also have outside seating with a super nice breeze!!“

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

“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!!“

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

“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?😋😋“

“The food was amazing!!!! I actually ate all my food! The Godfather was Delish!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great little spot for a morning coffee. The cappuccino was perfectly made, and they have a really nice selection of fresh pastries. It has a cozy, relaxed atmosphere, making it a perfect place to start the day. The staff is always friendly and quick“
