Tanner's Coffee

The inspiration

Tanner's Coffee Co. grew out of Playa del Rey, where it has served its community since 1996 from the historic Dickinson and Gillespie Building . The idea behind it is a laid-back beach vibe, hand-crafted coffee, and a welcoming atmosphere for neighbors, surfers, students, and creatives alike . The shop has now brought that same spirit to a second location in La Mirada .

What to order

• Cream tops: one of the signature drinks the shop highlights in both locations .
• Matcha drinks: handcrafted matcha is part of the menu alongside the coffee .
• Pastries: the shop pairs its drinks with a pastry selection .
