Sleepy Seal Coffee Shop

It's a charming little local spot. sitting on PCH, 5 minutes walking to the beach from its front door, Sleepy Seal hits on all the notes of a beach town coffee shop. Redondo itself doesn't really carry itself like a beach town like you'll find going south between LA and San Diego, but Sleepy Seal does. It's small, bright, warm, the staff are chill. It's a vibe. The seating is in the back and I could sit there for a fair bit studying or working. I wouldn't say its a hangout or coffee shop to talk in, but that's because there beach is right there. Why would you? I don't know if it was because of the day we went or what but the glass displays were all empty and made that portion feel a little barren. If they normally have baked goods or stuff in there awesome! We ordered the salted maple latte iced and an iced matcha. I'm not so much a fall flavor person so the seasonals weren't really that interesting to me, but I'll definitely come back to see what they have later on. The salted maple's coffee was great and the balance between the sweet and milk and coffee was what I look for. We sometimes forget, every coffee place is different, but sometimes matcha lattes come sweetened and sometimes they do not. This one was not. It was on the grainier side but got home and added some syrup and it perked right up! just need to remember to ask for that next time! Overall I'd recommend a visit. I'll be back when the seasons change to see what new things they have, to try their burritos, and to see the little seals they have around the place lol. Thanks!

Sleepy Seal is such a gem of a coffee shop – cozy, warm, and full of character. The space has an artistic touch that makes it feel unique and inviting, and the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming. I tried the oat milk latte, and it was absolutely amazing – smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. A great spot to relax with good coffee and good vibes.

I love everything about Sleepy Seal. I visit every time I am in town. Delicious drinks with a unique beach vibe. The staff is also super friendly. A+ place to get coffee in Redondo Beach I am such a fan I even bought a T-shirt.

Cool Vibe and Great Coffee ☕️but I had their great matcha 🍵! This place is a fantastic find a great coffee shop that's also a cool surf shop. The vibe is super laid back, and you can tell a lot of care went into the space. The owner, Dave, is really friendly and makes you feel right at home. I had a delicious cold matcha, which was the perfect drink for the day. If you're looking for a chill spot with good drinks and a welcoming atmosphere, this is it 🤙🙌

I bought coffee beans here. The coffee tasted good, however the bag had pebbles. It was glad it did not break an espresso machine.

What can I say! This has already become one of my regularly hit spots during my week! You really grasp the South Bay and its entirety when you walk into this shop. Then you try the drinks and you have instant happiness. I’m a huge tonic coffee fan, and Dave has surpassed my idea of the perfect tonic. If you’re a tonic fan make sure you also try it like this: Espresso Tonic, lavender and a splash of cream. *chefs kiss* Sleepy Seal has also turned me into a latte gal! Best foam in the game. You will not be disappointed!

The coziest little coffee shop with coffee that actually tastes like coffee instead of sugar!! Seriously good coffee — got a vanilla oat milk latte and it had the perf amount of foam, sweetener, and such good coffee flavor. The owner was very chill and welcoming. I have tried A LOT of coffee places in the south bay and I think this is my fav. Will definitely be coming back 🙂
