50 Best Cafes near Rancho Palos Verdes

“I ordered both the hot matcha latte and the iced matcha, curious to compare the two. To my surprise, the cold version came flavored with lemonade—a twist not mentioned on the menu. Had I known, I likely would’ve skipped it. The citrusy tang clashed with the earthy matcha in a way that didn’t quite work for my palate. Still, I’d paid for it, so I powered through.

The hot matcha latte had potential, but the balance was off—too much matcha powder led to a thick sediment settling at the bottom. Unfortunately, my final sip delivered a gritty mouthful that left an unpleasant aftertaste.

While this visit wasn’t the most delightful sip-wise, I’m not holding it against Yellow Vase. I’d come back for other offerings, but I’ll be steering clear of the matcha next time..“

“After a nice hike down to the cove, this was a welcoming and cozy spot to grab a coffee and soak up the beautiful California coastal atmosphere of Terranea Hotel and Resort. I've stayed at the resort and played some golf there as well. Most trips include a visit to Sea Beans. Staff is A+.“

“De passage chez Eclair&café Excellentes pâtisseries Accueil au top, chaleureux merci pour ce bon moment 👍 De vrais professionnels !!! N hésitez pas à y faire un tour si vous êtes de passage dans le coin“

“We are from Germany, travelling for weeks across the USA, this IS definetly the best breakfast we have had between Europe and the USA, everything pure and fresh, the Service more than friendly , Like coming Home, at least 5 Stars and more, everybody must try out“

“Superb coffee. Super classy atmosphere, helpful staff & killer drinks & food. I have a dairy intolerance rn and you can get the chapati with chickpeas instead of the eggs that have milk in, super delicious. My bf got the chapati with the eggs and cheese and he he loved it as well.“

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

“We had a pleasant lunch enjoying good food from an extensive menu. In
Access to the restaurant is difficult because it is located on a busy street and has a limited number of parking spaces in the rear.
Inside seating is best in the patio.
From all appearances, it looks like a popular neighborhood cafe with efficient take out service“

“Lovely experience. The staff were very nice and attentive. The food was really great! I ordered the burger and fries, the ranch on the side is a must! Best ranch ever with the best fries. We came here to celebrate my Husbands birthday and the staff here made it special. 10/10 recommend!“

“So much to say… but ultimately, Colossus in Long Beach is WONDERFUL!! The BEST BLT I’ve ever had. Because they use high quality ingredients! Their Soft-Scrambled Egg Toast is divine. And everything is beautifully fresh. I love their country bread, baguettes, olive cumin bread, dinner rolls… but I have so much more to try Their pastries are scrumptious: Pecan Sticky Bun, Cardamom Bun, Kouign Amann, Financier, Marzipan Croissant, Sea Salt Brownie, OG Chocolate Chip Cookie. It’s all amazing and I’ve brought a number of friends to show off this incredible Belmont Shore Bakery. On Friday nights Colossus serves pizza into the night. Again, high-quality ingredients make their pizzas delicious. Plus they have interesting and unique combinations. They are tip free because their starting wage is $21/hr. Great customer service. Cute little space with some lovely specialty spice mixes, food items, merch, and wine. Indoor and outdoor seating, and they serve tasty coffees and teas. Colossus feels like a little bit of Europe on 2nd Street.“

“I have breakfast here whenever I am in town. Amazing food“

“We stumbled upon this little café by chance while driving from the airport — and what a hidden gem it turned out to be! I honestly envy the office workers who get to have this place nearby every day.

It's a small café, but everything they serve is top-tier culinary art — the sandwiches, coffee, and salads are absolutely delicious. And the soups… just wow! We tried the pumpkin and broccoli soups — both incredibly tasty and nourishing. My 7-year-old son usually won’t touch broccoli, but he loved their broccoli soup and ate it with great pleasure.

We've only been there a couple of times over the past year, but it’s definitely on our list for every future trip to Los Angeles. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Brought my daughter after jujitsu class... we were ordering and i saw the new reopens drinks and suggested she try one of them... she said she wanted to stick with her original order of a mango smoothie with no boba and mango jelly and popping boba... before we even paid the drink was prepared... one thing I noticed was all the employees were smiling... my daughter left her phone on the counter and we walked over to the bakery next door... as we were walking out Roxy came and brought us the phone.... thank you for a great experience and saving us a headache.“

“I had to plan a last minute breakfast for a coworker and since I love the breakfast burritos from TMJ Cafe i thought everyone else would too! They had everything ready when I got there and are always so happy and appreceative. Love this place! Oder the Supreme Doughnuts Box they're gorgeous and totally worth it!

Vegetarian options: They have a veggie burrito that is amazing! Just remember to order it without cheese.

Parking: Its a small parking lot, but people come and go very quickly.“

“Excellent Crepes Mr. G. I would eat here again! We got 5x crepes, Strawberry w/ Nutella, Strawberry w/ chocolate, banana and chocolate, ham & cheese and the Feta. All were amazing! Mr. G. also served me before opening hours, knowing I was waiting!! Excellent customer service with a smile! Thank you very much!“

“Amazing service & amazing food! Great place to host a meeting or group dinner.“

“I discovered Jade Snow located at the King Harbor pier in Redondo Beach while biking on the path along the sand near the ocean. Initially, I tried their smoothies and then the various fresh fruit dishes including the MACHA, ACAI, and the DRAGON. The fruits were always fresh, the presentation always appealing, and the taste always gratifying. The staff are friendly and bring my order to me, rather than call my order number and hand it to me over the counter.

Jade Snow has been a fantastic place for me to stop by, get tasty / healthy nutrition, and refresh on my cycling route.“

“Enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at Toast Cafe❤️ Smoked salmon avocado toast and fresh berry toast were amazing. Quiet cozy cafe with great food. Highly recommend!e“

“Great food and , great customer service. You feel like home. Love it“

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

“음료가 맘에 들어요.“

“This is a good choice when you want shave ice dessert the flavors are natural I’m allergic to a lot of colors and they don’t add any additives so if you were sensitive as I am, I has not reacted to anything that I have order there, which is very common with this desert. they had lots of colors this place doesn’t.“

“Mr. Mack graciously assisted us by taking our order and providing wonderful recommendations. Consequently, we opted for two delectable ham & egg sandwiches on wheat bread, a refreshing Greek salad, an indulgent Almond Chocolate Croissant, a rich café latte, and a steaming cup of hot water.

My spouse and I enjoy exploring new dining venues and pride ourselves on evaluating service, food quality, and ambiance. We were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service we received; Mr. Mack warmly greeted us with a sweet smile and gentle demeanor, offering insightful suggestions. He diligently catered to our needs, even promptly fulfilling my request for Tapatio hot sauce to spice up my sandwich. The dishes were fresh and superb, with the salad proving to be particularly delightful and the coffee exceeding our expectations.

As our meal drew to a close, we approached a lady, whose name eluded me, to request a takeout box. She promptly presented us with two options to choose from. I wholeheartedly endorse this restaurant and look forward to returning for another delightful start to the day. Thank you ?

Warm regards,

William & Connie“

“Better tasting boba compared to the location in cerritos and delicious macroons. I got the specialty smootie milk and honey with mini boba and egg pudding. It tastes amazing. I wanted to try the Nutella and green tea macroons however they were sold out. I settled for the fruity pebble and I loved it.“

“Beautiful little cafe with a nice outdoor terrace. Very cozy and the service is super friendly. The little shop next door is also great, you can find wonderful gifts here.Price-performance is right. The food is delicious and freshly prepared...I felt very well.“

“lovely and cute cafe. will definitely go back for another boba or ube ice cream. 😊“

“Croque madame, croissant ou chocolate, chocolate ou lavande, soup de’oignon“

“The best tasting food and best ingredients for the menu items. Fred“

“Love, love their chicken. Fresh, healthy and very, very tasty. This really is a pick up location, but it does have outside tables. Easy to order ahead and their rotisserie chicken is frankly the best I have had. I know they've been in West LA for years and so happy they just opened El Segundo. I eat here a few times a week. They have some really good sides as well, especially the roasted potatoes. Order ahead El Segundo because they are packed at lunch. Staff is very friendly and it is easy to walk up and order. They usually are 10 minutes or less. The atmosphere is fine but it is really a walk up and eat outside place. Try it. You will love it.

Parking: It just get crowed at lunch in Chargers commons because there are a lot of other restaurants. But you can always find a space somewhere.

Kid-friendliness: Perfect meal for kids. Fresh, healthy and tasty. Plenty to oder from for them.“

“great food for Hawaiian food“

“WOW. Empty on a Wednesday at 6. Very clean and tidy. And holy cow, the food! Very, very good bun bo hue. Large and delicious goi cuon. Everything was fresh, with excellent ingredients. Just amazing. I will absolutely be back, and I can’t recommend this place enough“

“I wanna say great service. Chloe greeted me with a smile. Not only that she gave me the choices of the type of chocolate to get for my mocha. So refreshing to have such wonderful service. God bless you, Chloe. God bless clutch Coffee...“

“First visit and was not dissatisfied. Heard about the place through friends and the Yelp reviews backed up the claims. Nice gem of a place… I had the Protein Scramble and my wife had the Waffles! All the food was amazing and made to order🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 A comfortable lounge environment, tasty food, and great staff making sure we have everything we need. Definitely will be heading back…….with friends and family…“

“San Pedro Café is hands down the best place to eat breakfast in town, and it never disappoints. Every time I visit, I make it a point to eat here at least once. The servings are large, the prices are incredibly reasonable, and the food is consistently delicious. Whether you want eggs any style, pancakes, or a full hearty meal, San Pedro Café has you covered.

The portions are very generous, so sharing a dish is always a good idea. If you happen to arrive late, no worries—there’s always the option to enjoy their equally fantastic lunch menu. This family-owned spot is not only a local favorite but also a highlight of any trip to San Pedro. If you’re in the area, make sure to stop by—it’s a must-visit!“

“cute local coffee shop, friendly & great recommendations“

“This is a great place to have breakfast or lunch. The whole staff is kind and professional and look for your total satisfaction. The food is great and you get plenty of it. Mimi welcomes everyone and remembers your name if you come often. I agree that it's a hidden gem.....“

“From out of town. Nice surprise breakfast spot.“

“as someone who drinks two cups of milk tea per day, this tea was amazing!! they actually cook the milk with the tea and it does make a difference. the boba itself is chewy and soft and the perfect amount of sweet. also the person who helped me was really nice and accommodating so thank you so much!! would come back again when i am in the torrance area.“

“Put down your food finding electronic device right now! Just go eat here, please. You might be going back and forth... just stop. You won't regret it and you'll save a lot of time with enjoyment instead.

So we have been here two times. Both times were great. Nacho was our server both times as well, and he is a total mensch. 👌 (hey! You recognized us from our first visit a couple months ago and we are the couple from Hawthorne! You might need to go in my personal server hall of fame.)

You won't be left unattended. Went the bottomless drink route and are worried that you won't get your monies worth? Stop. This is a great beach town, and this purveyor of delicious decadent food is not going to cheap out on that either.

All the food is made with love. And you CAN taste it. I wish we knew the names of the cooks in the back, but they are unsung heroes in my book.

If you don't believe me, check out the TWO episodes on Triple D about it. There's even an Eat, Pray, Love moment with the owner/head chef if that's what will bring you over. I'm all about the eat, man, and you won't be disappointed...

I guess in retrospect I like the love too... just try it already!“

“Delicious food and beautiful decor!“

“It is a good place to have breakfast, it has a very nice atmosphere. The food, according to American taste, I think is good. If you are used to a more Latin flavor, perhaps this place is not so much for you. The coffee and bagels are worth it though.“

“Their boba is always fresh and they have a ton of delicious drinks. They have the best Taro and Mocha I’ve ever had, and speaking as a chocolate enjoyer, their vanilla is the only one I will pay for. Best I’ve cream and everyone is always so friendly, even when it gets super busy. I’ll never stop going here.“

“Muy limpio excelente servicio al cliente y muy rica la ensalada Mexicana 💯recomendado.“

“I went to French touch for the first time because my best friend and I were craving crepes and there was this lovely front of house manager Nina and she graced us with such an amazing energy and was very helpful and helping us find a good crepe for me and my best friend and we’re definitely going to come back. The atmosphere was so great and we ended up buying another crepe!!! Just because of how delicious the food was including the quality of the food so I was very happy“

“Absolutely friendly staff. The owner/manager, Chris, reminds me of the actor August Schellenburg who played Randolph in the movie "Free Willy." I absolutely love their Poke Plate 🍽️ with Mixed Greens! That & a banana 🍌 strawberry 🍓 smoothie 🥤is my favorite go to meal! I give it a 10 Star ⭐✨ Rating!“

“Came here during the tallship festival, which the rubber duck was also part of the festival.They don't called this world largest rubber duck without for a reason, this floating cute ducky weight over 1300 pounds and over 100 feet tall !This is first time they had this in the west coast, who know if they ever come back.. History said unlikely but maybe in other west coast cities in distance future... Parking is not bad but you can find free parking not too far away in most resident area.This place is packed even during when it just open the door, expect a line.. There's two entrace, the line near the USS IOWA is long.. But the entrance in the left is fast and his is when you get your ticket. Which run $7 to all way over $80 if you want full sail on the ship which probably no need, since the rubber duck is so close to the pier and you need some distance to take a decent photo.LIke I need to tell you more, bring you *(&$ camera and just enjoy it ! There;s some band and small set of booth, real reason to come here is to see the ducky !“

“Kırıkkale şartlarında bu kadar iyi bir mekan olmasi harika🙌“

“Great place to walk to and enjoy good food & treats.“

“I’ve been to many Panera Bread locations, but this one truly stands out. The service is always friendly and attentive, with staff who genuinely care about making your visit enjoyable. The food is consistently fresh and delicious—especially the broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl. The warm, inviting ambiance makes it a perfect spot to relax with a coffee or get some work done. Overall, it’s an exceptional experience every time.“

“Great service and great food! Very happy to be there! The regular coffee was delicious 😋“
