Offset Coffee — Restaurant in Hermosa Beach

"NOT YOUR TYPICAL, RUN-OF-THE-MILL CAFE. We aim to create memorable experiences through bespoke and innovative coffee products. Offset Coffee strives to be more than just your typical cafe. Instead, we aspire for excellence and to become a safe space for...
