Java Man
157 Pier Ave, Manhattan Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Manhattan Beach independent has earned its loyal following with consistently excellent espresso and a genuinely welcoming staff that makes every visit feel like coming home. Beyond the reliably great coffee, Java Man stands out for its rotating selection of freshly baked treats—regulars rave about the morning glory muffins—and fast WiFi that makes it equally suited for a quick caffeine fix or a lingering work session. It's the kind of place that clearly fills the gap left by chain closures, offering real comfort and care in a neighborhood that clearly treasures it.”

Perfect for an early morning espresso and coffee. Fast WiFi.
This establishment consistently serves excellent coffee. The staff are always wonderfully welcoming and friendly. It's a pleasure to visit this place. You can always count on a delightful experience and coffee here.
So happy big coffee chain closed their locations in Hermosa. Java Man is the place to go for the best coffee in town not to mention the freshly baked muffins and treats! Get the morning glory, you won’t be disappointed!
This place is awesome! Friendly staff, excellent coffee and a rotating variety of baked goods. It is a perfect coffee shop
Java Man played a large factor in my decision to come back to Hermosa Beach on vacation. Something about it is just comforting. Came here before the pandemic and now four years later the service, selection and quality is just as it was. The breakfast burritos are SO GOOD and they have a huge variety of baked goods. Plus the guys are just so nice. Homey, nostalgic, cozy but still buzzy. Quintessential coffee shop vibes. I will come back to Hermosa again just to go here.
