Crema's Take

Offset Coffee Roasters in Manhattan Beach is an espresso-focused spot that shines brightest with their seasonal specials and rotating roasts, though consistency can be hit-or-miss depending on the day. The pleasant neighborhood vibe with indoor and outdoor seating draws locals looking for a slow sit with their pour overs or cold brew, even if the coffee quality and staff friendliness fluctuate more than you'd expect from their solid ratings. If you catch them on a good day—or snag one of their exclusive drip roasts—you'll understand why people keep coming back.

I’ve gone to this coffee shop a few times. Sometimes the employees are very nice, other times they are borderline rude. Sometimes the drinks are great (like the seasonal maple latte), and other times not. Sometimes the food is tasty (like the egg toast), and sometimes it’s really not. It’s better than Starbucks, but I’ve definitely had better tasting cappuccinos elsewhere. On my last experience, the pastry I got (spinach and feta croissant bun) was massively overpriced. $7.50 for a bun with barely any spinach and literally no feta! Didn’t taste the feta, didn’t see the feta, and the bun itself reminded me of a croissant you’d get on an airplane. The atmosphere is cold, minimalistic, often times crowded, and loud. You can sit outside though. It’s good to just grab something and go. For the price you pay, it’s better to get the experience you really want.

I'll be honest... the coffee isn't good. I know that is subjective, still, for a place with such high ratings I expected way better. The vibe is nice and service is pleasant but the coffee just doesn't taste that good. Got a vanilla latte and a seasonal gingerbread type latte... both had the same weird herbal flavor. Perhaps the beans they use have that flavor, or maybe it's the syrup, but I didn't like it. Was $7 for the latte. Got an almond muffin which was nice, was actually very tasty with a lovely, moist, cornbread-like consistency. It was $7.50 and very small, which was a bit disappointing. Perhaps I came on an off day, but not worth it. Was packed though, so maybe this is a local haunt or one of the few non-chains in the area, or maybe I'm missing something. Wouldn't return.

🌟 Amazing Coffee Shop! The latte was incredibly delicious and smooth — rich flavor with the perfect balance of coffee and milk. It was exactly the kind of coffee you want to come back for again and again. 🥑 The toast was made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and beautifully presented. Every bite tasted fresh and flavorful. 🙌 The staff was polite, courteous, and welcoming — they made the whole experience even more enjoyable. ✨ Overall, a wonderful spot with great coffee, great food, and great people. Highly recommend!

They had a roast on drip that was immaculate but not for sale as whole beans. I loved the cup and envied the shop for having the beans and either being out of stock or not selling this rotating roast on drip. Wonderful staff and baristas that are friendly and helpful. Their space is shared between the roasting area and the cafe which is wide open to each other. I don't mind it one but, just know that the space is being utilized so they aren't a massive cafe with a bunch of seating. Not a problem at all, just be aware of the space.

Nice neighborhood coffee spot. I got a green tea, a cold brew, a flat white, and a cortado — all good. A few tables inside and a small one outside. Busy with people coming and going. If you’re looking for coffee in the area, it’s a good place to stop by. Parking is easy.
