Fresh brewed on Pier Avenue · Since 1992
Coffee, house-baked treats and familiar faces inside an original 1929 beach house.
The neighborhood coffee house
The hand-painted sign, the red bungalow, the first sip on the patio—Java Man has been part of Hermosa's morning routine for more than three decades.
01 · Coffee first
From a hot morning cup to a whipped iced mocha, this is coffee made for slow porch mornings, quick Pier Avenue stops and the people who already know their usual.
02 · This old house
An original Hermosa Beach bungalow is built on Pier Avenue, a short walk from the ocean.
Rick Hankus creates a comfortable place to hang out—back when “latte” still sounded suspiciously fancy.
Locals, visitors, homemade food, changing art and a team that knows your drink.
03 · The living room
The walls change monthly. The feeling doesn't. Come for a cup, stay for the art, the conversation and the familiar faces.
“Our coffee's so good
we drink it ourselves.”
