Pure Bean MB LLC

Tucked into the heart of Manhattan Beach, Pure Coffee is pretty good. I popped in for a flat white, and even though I had to rush out with it in a to-go cup, the flavor still stopped me in my tracks—creamy, smooth, and layered with notes of marshmallow, lemon, and sweet chocolate from their espresso blend.

Talk to the owners Barry and Heitz, talk to the friendly staff, and grab some terrific coffee made from their air-roasted beans flown in fresh from their South Dakota home base. Admittedly, I was not very familiar with air-roasted coffee beans, but they say it makes for a smoother fresher, less acidic taste.

My favorite coffee shop in all of LA. I love that the lattes are all quad shots by default and the espresso is incredibly smooth and flavorful. Also the Rico breakfast burrito is incredible.

Being in a strip mall is a certain win as it meant dedicated parking spaces and yes it’s free! Also IYKYK, strip mall around this area was typically coming in decent size and so did the parking. Well-lit venue, plenty of seats and even abundant plugs. As expected, you could see tons of guests were studying and working.
