Crema's Take

Lee's Coffee House captures the laid-back spirit of Malibu with carefully sourced beans and a genuine commitment to craft that keeps locals coming back. The space feels like stepping into a neighbor's living room—unpretentious and welcoming—where baristas actually know your name and your usual order. Whether you're catching the ocean breeze on a California morning or settling in with a perfectly pulled espresso, this is the kind of place that reminds you why specialty coffee matters.

First time trying this place and I WILL be back!!! This place is cute and pink on the inside. Even their bags of coffee beans are pink (made me want to buy one…next time). I had questions on what coffee drink to order, the girl at the front helped me with her suggestions. Then, after I ordered, my drink was ready in minutes. I went to grab my drink from the counter and these girl hands me these flowers and says, “Happy Women’s Day”. Like what?! How thoughtful of a business to do that for their guests. Great customer service goes a long way! I don’t even live in the area, but I will make sure to come back often! And they even have heart shaped straws!!!! Just a great experience for my first time trying this place. Oh, and the drink is yummy! I got the Lee’s Latte with no Hazelnut…and the girl suggested maybe adding more cinnamon on top since I wanted a churro style drink. I’m one happy lady! Thank you, Lee’s Coffee! I’ll be back!

When I went, it seemed to be only women there so I imagine it’s a place for women to chill and feel comfortable. Pictured is the strawberry matcha latte and salted dirty chai. The matcha latte was too sweet and very chalky/powdery. The strawberry syrup was grossly sweet and very artificial-tasting. Couldn’t finish it. We sat at the bar and there was a strong smell of mildew/wet rag. The baristas weren’t wearing aprons or anything to cover their hair, just regular clothes. The place just didn’t seem very clean.

I stopped by this Lee's Coffee House during Valentine week and got my wife the purple velvet drink which is their Valentine Day special menu. Finding parking here can be difficult depending when you come. This coffee place is very nice inside and welcoming. They have some cookies, chips and snacks here as well. They also have a breakfast menu but I just came here for the drink.

Soft pink, feminine, and absolutely pretty—this place instantly caught my eye. They’re well known for their Nutella croissant, so of course I had to try it. You can ask for it to be warmed before serving, which gives those flaky layers a nice crunch. It was good overall—Nutella is always a win (I may be biased, but who isn’t?). That said, while enjoyable, it didn’t feel particularly unique compared to other versions. The real standout for me was the coffee, and honestly, that alone would bring me back. The barista was incredibly kind and recommended Lee’s Special: a whipped latte with white mocha, hazelnut, and cinnamon. I expected it to be a bit too rich, but it was perfectly balanced; smooth, lightly sweet, and not overly creamy. It reminded me of a creative take on a Spanish latte, and it really impressed me.
