Crema's Take

“Gitana Cafe is a beloved neighborhood gem run by a passionate artist couple who've created something special just steps from Manhattan Beach's Strand—the kind of place where locals become regulars and visitors wish they could stay longer. Beyond stellar traditional espresso drinks, they're known for creative specialty creations like their standout strawberry matcha, plus housemade arepas con queso that keep people coming back. The real magic is the unhurried vibe, genuine hospitality, and cozy-yet-vibrant space that feels less like a coffee shop transaction and more like dropping into a friend's creative sanctuary.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Wifi.

I am obsessed with this place! I have been to more coffee shops across SoCal than I can count thanks to my line of work, and somehow my favorite one ended up being my local spot within walking distance. Lucky me! There is a true sense of community here. The people who work here…

Indie cafe run by a friendly young artist couple. Grab a yummy drink/treat for walking the The Strand or take a break to soak up the ambiance, get local travel tips, and browse their Little Free Library. Highly recommended!

We loved Gitana Cafe so much, we went twice during our weekend in Hermosa! The space is super cute and cozy, and they served our lattes quickly both times. The strawberry matcha was a favorite—highly recommend! Definitely a go-to spot for great drinks and good vibes.
