50 Best Coffee Shops near Palos Verdes Estates

“great food, lovely spot, pricey.“

“Very good coffee. Wouldn’t say it’s like most other coffees I’ve tried. The flavor wasn’t as distinct to what I imagine a cinnamon roll would be, but it still was a great sip throughout. Great interior too. And the staff that took and made my order was clearly a bit tired or lower energy at first. I didn’t take any offense as it looked like she was a little overworked, but grace and blessings to her. She deserves a good tip every time for making great drinks all around.“

“Love this place! ❤️ Great tea and delicious pastries! The scones are my favorite! Great atmosphere and definitely one of my to-go-to fave places!“

“Great, truly great pourovers. I had the “Big City” and my wife had an Ethiopian, and both were excellent.

Parking is tough. We went around 8am on a Saturday morning so we got the last parking spot.

I bet locals just walk there but we were coming from the airport.“

“Such a wonderful experience! The staff at the counter were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The hot chocolate was rich, delicious, and perfectly prepared. I Highly recommend this spot for excellent service and a warm, cozy atmosphere.“

“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.“

“cute local coffee shop, friendly & great recommendations“

“Such a sweet and kind establishment“

“Distrito Coffee is the kind of place that feels deeply rooted in its neighborhood, gritty, authentic, and unapologetically itself. The cafemirrors the energy of San Pedro with an atmosphere that’s raw yet welcoming. The decor and music are bold, a little abrasive in the best way, but somehow still inclusive, creating a space where everyone feels like they belong if they’re willing to lean into the vibe.

What truly elevates Distrito is the coffee. The espresso is a beautiful counterpoint to the edgy exterior, warm, nuanced, and surprisingly delicate, with layered flavors that show real care and craft. It’s the kind of espresso that makes you slow down and pay attention.

The baristas are effortlessly cool, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and clearly passionate about what they’re doing. The customers match the energy, artists, locals, and regulars who give the place its soul. Distrito Coffee isn’t trying to be trendy or polished. It’s real, confident, and memorable, a neighborhood café that delivers both character and exceptional coffee.“

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

“Micah was my barista who was very knowledgeable about the espresso machine and the coffee beans used in the process of the French Toast Latte.“

“Wonderful coffee shop, delicious drinks and pastries, and a great atmosphere. I usually order the aventurero latte and coffee cake. Yum!“

“Im excited to write this review of all the rest because this place is what a coffee shop should be! Fast, courteous and very fresh. My vanilla latte was HOT just as i like it. The almond Danish was fresh. Smiles at the first encounter was best customer service I have experienced in a long time. Thank you!“

“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 !“

“Large selection of coffees and teas as well as delicious fresh bake goods and sandwich selections…Beats ANY Starbucks!“

“Such a cute and cozy place great for Instagram photos. Yummy latte and homemade muffin ☕️“

“i enjoy this spot for both studying and spending time with friends. they have a great amount and variety of both indoor and outdoor seating. the drinks they serve also have a wide selection to choose from, with the mango mochi being one of my favorites. i recently tried the pistachio croissant which was so balanced in not being too sweet while being a perfect treat/dessert after our meal right before. definitely a spot i enjoy returning to frequently“

“Soft completely impressed me from the interior design to the taste of every drink and dessert.

I was honestly surprised (in the best way) when I saw Medivnyk in the display case - it instantly made me wonder who the owner is. And you can truly feel a Ukrainian soul in this place.

It’s incredibly clean, beautifully designed, and you can see in every detail that a lot of love and care has been put into it.

The service is amazing!!!! The staff know everything about the drinks and desserts and genuinely want to make your experience perfect. We followed their recommendations, and it was absolutely worth it.

I chose the banana matcha, and my husband had a drink with Belgian chocolate- both were incredible. The flavors are perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and you can really tell everything is homemade, crafted with attention to every ingredient.

I’m honestly so impressed - it almost made me emotional to find a place like this in the U.S. We came here just for the weekend, but we’re definitely coming back tomorrow for more drinks and desserts. This is the kind of place you want to visit every single day.

Thank you for creating such a beautiful space, and I truly wish you many happy customers 💛🩵“

“Seeing that had high review I decided to come check it out. Just walking in the place you can already determine that are about to wow your taste buds. We got the Blueberry Matcha and a Vanilla matcha they were amazing. Come try this place and dont forget the cream top !!!“

“Micah was my barista who was very knowledgeable about the espresso machine and the coffee beans used in the process of the French Toast Latte.“

“Amazing assortment of breads! So many great pastries! A nice and relaxing atmosphere with friendly service!“

“Quaint, cozy, comfortable. Honeycake is probably the best I’ve had. Coffee is mediocre but you’re likely coming for syrniki and comforting environment. Great friendly service that makes you want to come back. 3 tables inside and 4 tables outside.“

“Feel the love!! Impeccable coffee made with kind hands - fills the soul! ♥️“

“A great cafe in the promenade with stuff for everyone. They have a variety of incredible coffees depending on the mood from delicious sweet lates to bold dark espressos and Americanos. There matcha selection is also on point with a selection of tasty options depending on what you like. The almond croissant is a 10/10 and probably the best I have ever had. No matter when you go in the servers are always very friendly, the drinks comes fast, and the environment feels alive as it is filled with adults talking and students studying among the cute modern interior. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality drink and a quick pastry to eat.“

“great breakfast sandwich“

“My wife and I are retired and we both love going out for breakfast. We have been looking for a special breakfast location in the south bay for some time and tried Mr. G's . IT IS BY FAR OUR FAVORITE LOCATION - it is a fun, family owned cafe with an extensive menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can't beat the food, the price and the friendly staff. We are now Mr. G's regulars .“

“What a hidden gem! Im not a coffee drinker so I look for the other options. Whats great here are..

1. Iced Oolong Ceylon tea
2. Spiced Chai
3. Mango peach passion really

Gonna go back to try other things! The staff is very nice. Support this business!“

“Lots of seating, great atmosphere and coffee and close to a 2nd hand store for a little retail therapy!!“

“The coffee was incredible here and the staff were really friendly. I did wish that they had gluten free options but I understand that that isn’t always an option for cafes. Lovely outdoor area and it connects through an outdoor garden seating area to “pages” a bookstore.“

“Great crew serving great coffee.“

“Amazing authentic baklava. Thank you for sticking it out! 💗💗“

“Being in a strip mall is a certain win as it meant dedicated parking spaces and yes it’s free! Also IYKYK, strip mall around this area was typically coming in decent size and so did the parking.

Well-lit venue, plenty of seats and even abundant plugs. As expected, you could see tons of guests were studying and working. Not few even came in bigger group.

Not realizing that they provided detailed version of the menu, I initially was thrown off looking at the wall menu as most of the names weren’t familiar. Thanks to the helpful attendant, making me going for what she said as one of their favorites; the latte served with honey, vanilla, and cinnamon - called as miel. Being the specialist in beans as well, no doubt the coffee was of great quality. One tip, if you weren’t that much into sweet, you might wanna customize it and request for less sweet.“

“Bazille is a very decent option for a quick bite to eat. The menu is not extensive but there are plenty of varied options. I had the cilantro lime salad with shrimp and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My friend had the cilantro lime salad with the skirt steak and that too was a hit. There is a very nice bar at one end of the restaurant and I have previously enjoyed a meal there dining solo.“

“So good!! Never misses! Became my favorite spot“

“Fantastically creative, artsy boutique filled with treasures of all types and textures. Great clothing finds for moms and daughters. Dads too. Love the local art. Love the owner even more.“

“So good!! Never misses! Became my favorite spot“

“I've been coming to this Starbux for years, ever since I moved to South Bay. It remains my sacred spot to watch the sunset and meditate in front of the ocean. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, and even when it's busy, the friendly baristas consistently provide a personalized welcome. They make drinks incredibly fast while maintaining the integrity of the flavors and textures. They remember my usual order, but they also give me new recommendations from time to time, which is always a pleasant surprise. Over the years, I've made friends with the regulars, and coming here has become a cherished routine“

“So good!! Never misses! Became my favorite spot“

“1st timers tonight, kiddos n I enjoyed our drinks n churros as well! Yummilicious, great service n ambience! Thank you for bringing this type of business to our community 🤗 Many Congrats 🎉🎊 Cheers to many more churros n cafecito ☕🥐“

“Stopped with our eBike Group and had lunch there for about an hour the perfect place for lunch with plenty of space indoors and outdoor seating. The staff was very accommodating. Definitely going back.“

“A very chill and profesional vibe! By professional vibe, I mean you mainly see people in good attire or business clothing. They also have a unique art portrait and the coffee here is a solid 9! I usually give a 9 because I don't think any coffee can be a 10 unless it's just somehow a very good coffee, during a certain time of day, and if it gives you flashbacks haha. But overall, it's a nice place to get coffee and chill, talk, and walk around. And there is a free parking lot literally right next to the building with like 3 or 4 floors so there's plenty of parking for you. Come give this coffee shop a try if you haven't heard of them yet!“

“poetry nights are the best! expect a variety of acts (not just poetry) with talented locals keeping things refreshing and interesting! great sense of community and feels unique for the area, providing a safe space for all ages to be expressive“

“Simply good taste of coffee ☕️❤️“

“Just ordered 7 drinks for the family…our first time at Ziggi’s and definitely NOT the last! The drinks were incredibly delicious and the staff was so friendly. Ziggi’s is our new favorite place to go for tasty treats! Thank you so much! 😊“

“they were really nice and their coffee and snacks are awesome!!“

“The pastries here are absolutely delicious—worth a visit for the treats alone.

However, my experience was dampened by the challenging parking situation. The lot is small with tight spaces, and someone actually bumped my car while I was inside. Additionally, it's common to see police and sheriff vehicles double-parked wherever they please, which is frustrating and inconvenient for customers who follow the rules.

Great food, but be prepared for parking hassles.“

“We really enjoyed our coffee and breakfast options at Meravalley Coffee Roasters. We were vacationing near by and came back each morning to enjoy a latte and homemade yogurt/granola parfait. The service was excellent and the coffee/food had great taste/flavor. And we sat at the window seat and enjoyed the beautiful views. We will definitely come back when we are in the area!“

“The morning crew at this location is fantastic. They are fast, fun, and friendly.“

“Ordered the Vienna Latte. Tasty vanilla-y sweet cream on top and good coffee flavor. Can see why it's popular.

Baristas were kind and quick with the order.

Not too many tables/seats (just along the wall), but people on their laptops studying and chilling. Good vibes.“

“Everything is amazing 🤩 🤩“
