Crema's Take

This family-owned spot in Manhattan Beach delivers genuine warmth alongside stunning ocean views, with a owner who's genuinely present and invested in the experience. They refuse to coast on their enviable seaside location, instead backing up that view with thoughtfully sourced coffee, fresh Mediterranean-inspired food, and consistently friendly service that feels personal rather than performative.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
