Bakery by the Yard

Crema's Take

“This independent gem in Manhattan Beach serves thoughtfully sourced espresso drinks alongside freshly baked pastries and bread, creating a genuine neighborhood gathering spot where the aroma of warm croissants mingles with expertly pulled shots. Locals return again and again for the genuine hospitality and attention to detail, whether they're grabbing a quick cortado or settling in with a pour-over and a laminated pastry. The intimate, unpretentious vibe feels like stepping into a European bakery café transplanted to the California coast.”
