BOLT Hermosa Beach — Restaurant in Hermosa Beach

We stopped in here for breakfast while on vacation. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The prices of everything were a little on the high side for a quick service place. The food was a little on the bland side. The coffee was very, very hot. Decent coffee. The atmosphere is horrible. It's VERY dark inside.

This was a weekday morning, and almost every other person in there was working remotely, and some were taking rather loud and long business calls. They have a communal table along with other tables around the perimeter of the inside of the restaurant. All the individual tables were full of people with laptops. The communal table had two people also working remotely on laptops sitting at opposite ends. It was very awkward sitting there trying to have breakfast when you felt like you were in someone's office space. Honestly, we felt like we were intruding. We would've sat outside if it hadn't been pretty chilly and damp out. That alone is enough for me to not want to go back. I think it would be a lot better if the atmosphere were inviting and didn't have a open concept...

I love both BOLT locations, but the one in Hermosa is my favorite of the two. In fact, it's my favorite coffee shop to work out of in the South Bay.

Location: I love that it is walking distance to the beach. Parking is super easy with meters all around and free street parking on Herondo an ~8 minute walk away.

Facilities: Look at the photos! Quick pick-up and go cafe side on the left with seating and more seating inside, both countertop and regular tables with inside and outdoor options. The "inside" opens up to the outside so there is a constant cool breeze, especially pleasant when it's sunny out. Three bathrooms.

Food: I've only tried the baked goods, coffee and tea. Love that they have gluten free and vegan options. The magic bar is neither, but I am a fan.

Service: Everyone is SO nice!

Wifi: Great wifi and hotspot works...

I got breakfast from this restaurant—eggs with spinach and a café latte. First of all, the breakfast was cold, and so was the coffee. Also, the breakfast didn't come with any bread on the side. When I asked the person working there, who was actually the cashier, they told me that breakfast doesn't come with bread. This was the first time I had ever seen a breakfast without bread. The service was terrible, the food was cold, and the cashier was extremely rude. In my opinion, no one should buy...
