Gum Tree Shop & Café
238 Pier Ave, Manhattan Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a historic building on Pier Avenue, this beachside café strikes that rare balance between serious coffee craft and laid-back California hospitality, serving espresso drinks in proper mugs alongside excellent avocado toast and full breakfasts. The split personality—café on one side, curated retail shop on the other—makes it the kind of place where you can linger on the beautiful patio with your cortado, then browse for gifts without leaving the premises. It's exactly the quintessential Manhattan Beach spot where locals and weekend visitors alike keep coming back for both the consistently good coffee and that warm, unhurried coastal vibe.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Came from Vegas for the weekend and the cafe is delicious! The service was very nice.
Everything about this restaurant is perfect. Quintessential Southern California beach cafe. I just wished they had over easy egg because that ms the best way to eat avocado toasts.
We love Gumtree. Great place to visit and find the best gifts.
Beautiful place. Very clean. Coffee was very good and so was the Avocado toast. After trying to find a decent coffee that serves a mug and not a carton cup for rwo days finally landed here. Highly recommended.
Beautiful beachside cafe and retail shop located on Pier Ave in a historic building.. they have a beautiful patio and also a small dining room inside. Enter left for cafe, right for retail store.. excellent baked goods, sandwiches, salads, and plenty of great beverage…
