“Reu Café brings authentic Guatemalan coffee culture to Manhattan Beach with meticulously crafted espresso drinks and perfectly balanced matcha lattes that never disappoint. This woman-owned spot excels at the details—freshly made cold foams, carefully sourced Guatemalan beans, and signature creations like the Reu Latte—making it a genuine destination for coffee lovers who want quality without the pretension, plus there's actually space to linger comfortably.”

Matcha's are always on point! They are not watered down like other trendy places. sweetness is perfectly balanced. Their cold foams are always freshly made, perfect in texture and don't disappear into the drink. I cant wait until the peppermint cold foam comes back in season, that one was my favorite!
I came here to try the coffee. Service is great and there’s plenty of indoor seating. The Reu Latte is perfect (I ordered it without cinnamon). I like that they offer a small size. Everyone in my group enjoyed their drinks and food.
Well they definitely have a "SLEEPY" start. Opens till 8, by then the local school started. Clerk/barista was definitely not feeling it. We did not get greeted. Matcha did not taste like matcha. It had a nice color to it but taste was way off. My daughter ordered LG and got smaller size. We walked back in after tasting and mixing. Had to add sugar and creamer to have some kind of taste. Music was also depressing. Glad I didn't order food like initially had planned.
I was plenty surprised find a GUATEMALAN CAFÉ. Som of the highlights Guatemalan fresh roasted coffee and authentic food, antojitos (apitizers). I loved their REU LATTEE (all coffee products are expresso based) with condensed milk. The real treat is their local roaster supplies Guatemalan coffee beans. ADELANTE 👏🏼
As a first gen Guatemalan raised in Hawthorne, this place made me happy! It is also woman owned. They have updated drinks at reasonable prices and the desayuno Chapin was so good. Only thing missing was salsita- I did ask for some and was given at no extra charge, it was also cold but didn’t want to make it complicated. Will be coming back :)
