The Boy & The Bear - Coffee Roastery
350 N Pacific Coast Hwy, Manhattan Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“This cozy Manhattan Beach roastery stands out for the distinctive depth and richness in every cup, a result of their in-house roasting that sets them apart from the typical coffee shop lineup. The minimalist dark aesthetic and relaxed vibe make it an ideal spot whether you're catching up with colleagues or settling in for solo work, and the baristas genuinely take pride in their craft—like recommending their signature Cinnamon and Honey Cappuccino with real enthusiasm. Beyond excellent coffee, their thoughtfully made chai lattes and pastries round out an experience that feels special and intentional rather than generic.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu.
