Black Heart Coffee Co.
7135 Balboa Blvd, Malibu, CA
Crema's Take
“Black Heart Coffee Co. pulls off that rare Malibu trick of feeling both laid-back and genuinely excellent, with standout coffee paired with unexpectedly creative breakfast fare like kimchi tacos and thick, velvety acai bowls that justify the hype. The locals clearly love the spot for its fun vibe and friendly energy, though the menu leans adventurous—expect gourmet touches like pickled onions on avocado toast rather than your standard pastry case, and come ready to order in person since they don't play by typical takeout rules. It's the kind of place that proves a good coffee shop is really about nailing the whole experience, not just the espresso.”

The Acai bowl was on point !! Better than the one at the mall (except there aren’t any options for other fruits but that’s more than fine !!!) Take out, consistency of the Acai was pure and thick. Cold brew coffee was good !
Food is ok, food options and burritos have very weird ingredients, and manager is extremely rude. what kind of place does not serve pastries on uber eats nor allows you to purchase them over the phone when you are spending over $300. if youre looking for a breakfast spot, go somewhere else for good food and friendly service. if someone wants to spend money you let them spend money. will never ourchase from here again. way to lose a spending customer.
First time visit, The kimchi breakfast tacos are amazing. Coffee was also outstanding. Fun locals,excellent vibe quick service. Nice decor.
This is a good coffee spot. Neat interior, friendly staff. Only ever eaten the tater tots, I'll bet they're frozen store-brand tots but they were gas nonetheless, especially with the sauce they serve them with. Espresso is good. The signature black heart is good also. Most recently I asked the guy taking my order what's better, their signature or the golden latte, and he told me the golden is less sweet and more healthy. I tried it, and indeed, it was real good, and tasted pretty healthy. 9/10 will be coming back. They serve full, like actual meals here too so when I get one of those I'll come back and update to an 8/10 or 10/10.
Black Heart Coffee Co. is the perfect spot for a good start to the day! The frittata was delicious, and the avocado toast felt truly gourmet. The pickled onions added a nice tangy taste to the toast. The butterscotch latte was absolutely divine. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the friendly staff made me feel so welcomed. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town!
