Two Guns Espresso
3516 Highland Ave, Manhattan Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“Two Guns is a no-frills espresso bar where the real magic happens in the cup—locals rave about their clean, chocolatey shots and New Zealand-style flat whites that justify the trip to Manhattan Beach. It's built for quick caffeine runs with street parking and minimal seating, though the upbeat staff keeps the energy positive even during the inevitable weekend rush, and you'll find quirky gifts and stickers alongside your coffee.”

Easy street parking on a Sunday! There isn’t much seating here, more of a pick-up coffee/breakfast spot, with cute gifts and stickers.
Horrible! They were out of decaf at 10am on a Sunday. This has happened before. That’s why I don’t come as often as they are unreliable. Guess I’ll stop coming now.
What happened to Two Guns? The food is not good (breakfast burrito), the drinks aren’t made properly, but worst of all the staff is very rude and unfriendly. Why are you so unhappy? The woman behind the register seems so annoyed with the customers. I tried returning a day later and got the same outcome. Please free yourself and find something that makes you happy!
Strong, clean espresso with a slight chocolate note. The New Zealand influence shows in the flat whites. Crowded at peak times but the line moves. Staff stays upbeat even when slammed. Short walk to stretch your legs near the water after
Coffee is astringent and terrible - do not get drip unless you prefer very light roasts. This is definitely a to-go place, if you order any food the menu is only online, not in person. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and was told in store that they would put in a request to refund my order, which would take 2-3 weeks, with no email confirmation to track the status of my refund. The avocado toast is also extremely salty and the coconut cold brew lacks flavor. Considering I spent over $50 for takeout breakfast and coffee for three, I was expecting much more.
