Crema's Take

Tucked at the end of Redondo Pier, this quirky spot blends coffee shop charm with a full seafood kitchen, best known for its spicy garlic mussels and fresh tilapia plates served alongside classic American breakfast. It's got genuine local character and waterfront views that feel refreshingly unpretentious compared to nearby Santa Monica spots, plus a bonus dose of O.C. nostalgia that makes it a pilgrimage for fans of the show. Whether you're catching sunset over the pier or lingering with coffee at an outdoor table, there's a laid-back, family-friendly vibe that keeps locals and visitors coming back.

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.

If you’re a oc California fan, this is a must go. Not only because of the vibe, but also because of the food. Really enjoyed the sunset here!

It seems like most of the people coming in - just like us - are here for the O.C. nostalgia and want to sit in Ryan's corner right across from the entrance - and sadly that's the only appeal the place has. Apparently nothing was done inside or outside since they shot the show in…
