This is an okay coffee spot. My cappuccino was super small and not filled up very much. They don’t have any kid options here. There really isn’t space to sit or anything like that other than outside by the road. They do have a walk up window to pick up to go orders. It’s walking distance to other shops and the beach. They have interesting things to buy and look at while you wait for your coffee.

We ordered chia puddings via their app and showed up and they had sold them to customers in line although we had ordered beforehand. When we showed up the staff was very unapologetic and to get a refund on these 2 items we paid for but that were unavailable the manager has to message his district manager!! We totally get it when items sell out but the experience is what matters the most. Customers remember how you make them feel. I had to been there in a while but if you are going to charge $8 for a coffee at least provide outstanding service!

The absolute best coffee shop in Manhattan Beach. The workers are always so kind and friendly. My drink is always on point. I always order the chanagchino. I have tried other local coffee shops and they never measure up.

Kia Ora, and 5 stars for the brahs, and brah-ettes that work there, yall make it what it is!

I didn't venture beyond the standard espresso, and coffee with milk combinations, so i can't speak to the other honey nutmilk mushroom latte with a shot of lavender syrup type offerings...

Let's just say this is a well positioned cup of Joe and leave it at that.

If you need to load up on caffeine and want to make a quick stop on your way out of MB while stuck in traffic on Highland just order ahead and by the time you pull your tesla or range rover over they will have it waiting outside for ya.

Went to this location was met by a rude girl by the name of Kristen, I placed my order and then repeated my order to her and then paid. She had ZERO customer service and no common sense. I then waited outside. Only to have my order messed up. Rather than make it right, they wanted me to wait in line again and deal with there mistake. I said I was very clear on my order. She gave me attitude, and when I expressed my frustration, she immediately kicked me out and tried to tell me to leave without my coffees that I paid for. I said no you have to give me my drinks. She partially refunded my order. Didn't give me my money back for everything and flipped out when over my frustration. This place is a joke. It's ran by a bunch of half minded, no common sense hippie triggered minded girls that don't know how to handle a simple situation and would rather cause problems and make things worse than fixing a simple thing.

Small place but they roast fantastic coffee. If you need a break from true third wave coffee like blue bottle and intelligentsia, their coffee is a bit darker but not burnt. Very balanced between european style and third wave. I always buy a bag of beans when im in manhattan beach

I own a business down the street and walk to TGNM near daily. Not only do they make me *my* drink practically before I walk in the door, but Melissa & Eric treat me and my dog, Doc, like gold. They are always so warm & make the day better for us every time they are the baristas when we come in. They have earned our loyalty in the neighborhood for our daily cup of joy.

I took my friend who was visiting from out of town here for the first time and as a former employee of this location, was completely shocked at the quality of the beverages and the negative energy we experienced within the shop. My friend walked into the shop and took a look around, she was met with employees who seemed displeased of her presence because it appeared that they were in the middle of gossiping. They stayed awkwardly silent and watched as she was deciding her order. She was not met with any greetings from any of the three employees. They took her order and during the transaction, my friend’s card wasn’t working.She attempted to pay with cash instead but was immediately told very sternly and rudely by all three employees that they do not accept cash. (I will acknowledge that I forgot to tell my friend before she walked in that this establishment was card only.) I then paid with my card and we waited outside. I told my friend that our drinks would be given out the window, however one of the employees was kind enough to step outside and hand us our drinks. Yet even with this kind gesture, the employee seemed to be annoyed in doing so. She seemed extremely bothered, and didn’t seem to care about the quality of service she was giving. When setting our tray down, she rolled her eyes and told us to just leave they tray by the window because she didn’t care, and waved her hand gesturing so. I was taken aback at the type of service we were receiving, especially with knowing how Two Guns values customer experiences and connecting with the community. I am unsure if these ladies had a rough shift, or what exactly they were going through at that moment but it was made very clearly that we were unwanted in the store. What made this experience even more disappointing, was the quality of one of the beverages. I ordered a hot vanilla oat milk latte, and the milk was burnt. It was evident that the milk was not steamed correctly and for a longer time given the taste and appearance of the foam. I am very aware that Two Guns trains their employees well at HQ and educates them in coffee. I also know that the managers train their employees well but the fact the location was not busy, and there were two other people working, I am surprised that they let this drink be served given how burnt the milk was. We were so uncomfortable with our experience there that we decided to not go back to have them fix the drink. Overall this was an extremely disappointing experience and shocking to see how much has changed with the type of people they hire and quality of drinks being made. I genuinely hope that Stan becomes aware of this behavior at the this location.

I feel like the service and the coffee are super average. Glad other options have popped up.

One of the better coffee shops in the South Bay Area. They have several locations, but this one in North Manhattan Beach is a bit small. It’s more of a pick up and go situation here. There is a bench outside of the shop if you’d like to sit for a bit, but it’s certainly not your standard seating. Coffee is good nonetheless.

I use to come to this shop almost everyday but recently had a horrible customer experience. None of the apps to order ahead are working and have not been working for multiple days. I called and was told they work multiple times and then eventually someone told me its broken. They told me I couldn't even place a pick up order. Both people I talked to at the store were super rude and sounded like they didn't care it wasn't working. I won't be coming here anymore
