Crema's Take

Rockefeller is a neighborhood gem that blurs the line between serious coffee shop and full kitchen restaurant, earning real loyalty from locals who return for everything from working lunches to evening live music in their backyard. The vibe leans casual and welcoming with multiple inviting spaces—a front patio perfect for people-watching and a back area for live performances—though the kitchen's execution can be inconsistent, so you might find a stellar burger one visit and underwhelming seasoning the next. It's the kind of independent spot that feels like a community gathering place as much as a coffee destination, best experienced when you're in the mood for atmosphere and company alongside your drink.

Friendly service, chill atmosphere and one of the best burgers I've had in a while. The fried chicken sandwich was also delicious.

Stopped by here for a small birthday celebration. The place is nice but the drinks and the food was blah to everyone at the table. The cook needs to learn about a lil seasoning help with taste... Salt & pepper can go a long way 😞 Ordered the fish and chips that was a big mistake because the fries are to thin and the fish was even worst with zero taste! I could have made fish sticks at home that taste better tbh. Now concerning the drink is was lacking some kick they didn't order a fruit juice cocktails. But it was nice to try a new place and check the area out for other possible things to try, but highly doubt I'll ever go back to this place if I'm in the area!

I decided to try Rockefeller in Redondo Beach and the food was good. I got the chilaquiles. I wish they would add some chorizo or some sort of protein with it. Waiter forgot my orange juice and I had to ask for it twice but not a big deal. Vibe was very quiet. Multiple empty tables outside and inside was completely dead but I did visit early around 10am.

Great little gem hidden in Redondo Beach. Nice crowd and delicious food. Lovely stuff, that is always here to help. We came in a small company, three of us had burgers and one person fish tacos and fries. Loved the food and overall vibes. Place is usually packed, so need to make a reservation or come early.

Rockefeller is our go to spot for anything from a working lunch meeting to watching live music in their backyard area.. there is another great people watching patio in the front which can fill up fast during peak times. The menu is perfect for the beach as they have some lighter options and some guilty pleasures and everything in between. They have one of the best fish and chips, great tacos, burgers and they make a great steak sandwich. The mac and cheese, fried chicken sandwich are both great. They have happy hour and a very popular rotating burger of the month special. The service here is always on point.. the staff is very friendly and efficient.. you are never left waiting for help... the entire staff will jump in and help even if you aren't their table. Overall, food, service, location, great vibes.. you really can't go wrong here for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Casual fun atmosphere with solid food and good people.
