A hip little coffee shop located in a community plaza. This shop has limited seating for both inside and outside seating, but that’s okay because most people take their orders to go. The baristas are welcoming and friendly, offering fast paced service. I ordered the caramel latte, which was smooth and blended well together. I loved the coffee foam art work.

I ordered an Americano but it was the espresso that truly impressed me. Rich, smooth, and deeply satisfying. The avocado toast was equally memorable: the tanginess of the pickles matched well with the creamy sweetness of the avocado, and the generous amount of black pepper added a nice kick. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the whole space feel relaxed and inviting. A lovely cafe experience overall.

First I discovered Verve Coffee on a previous visit to LA and didn't go there, but I found a Capital One Cafe in Houston that happened to serve it and had it a couple times. So this time in LA I made sure to visit Verve Coffee. Got iced latte and drip coffee. Drinks were very good. Atmosphere was pleasant and staff were friendly. Indoor seating is limited but there are also places to sit outside (there seems to be some green space and small shopping plazas behind Verve). Nice location in this area, which is close to the beach.

They make an incredible mocha. They also have chairs indoors & outdoors and strong wifi for remote workers! The music is a little loud though. Will be back :)

Verve is by FAR the best coffee shop in the South Bay and the staff there have become dear friends to my husband and I. Jesse, the Manager, is incredible as is Edgar and honestly everyone! We never go anywhere else for coffee and they have the most delicious, fresh pastries and breakfast pastries. *Only recommendation is that they get an AC unit! It makes me upset when it is busy and the employees are hot working so hard. Tip for upper management!

I really liked this coffee shop. Upbeat and modern, and their drinks seem really good too. I hat a vanilla iced latte, and the taste was good. I would come back here to try another drink! The avocado toast was also really delicious.

I love this place. Their coffee is great! My favorite is the almond milk latte or a good ole pour over. The Chia seed putting or overnight oats are my quick breakfast grab. If I have more time I live the taste and jam or avocado toast.

Love every single stuff here. First of all, they make an awesome milk foam which is very soft and rich. And they serve high quality coffee - I recommend you to have single origin coffee there to taste unique region-based flavor. Lastly, they also have good options for food. The avocado toast has a good balance. It is highly recommended!
