Why you should experience Two Guns Espresso in Los Angeles, California.
Two Guns Espresso is a sunlit coastal café where Australian coffee culture, ocean air, and Manhattan Beach's morning rhythm collide over meticulously crafted espresso.
Located along Highland Avenue just steps from the Manhattan Beach Pier, the café operates with the relaxed confidence of a beachside coffee institution. Surfers wander in barefoot, cyclists lean their bikes against the railings outside, and the smell of fresh espresso cuts cleanly through the salty air drifting off the Pacific. Inside, the room feels bright and social, baristas move quickly behind the counter pulling shots and steaming milk while guests gather around small tables with flat whites, avocado toast, and breakfast plates that mirror the café culture of Sydney and Melbourne. The entire scene feels effortless and coastal, a place where mornings stretch comfortably into late brunch.
What you should know about Two Guns Espresso.
Two Guns Espresso draws its character directly from Australian café traditions that helped redefine specialty coffee culture across the world.
Australian cafés became known for combining high-quality espresso with casual brunch menus and beachside hospitality, creating spaces where coffee and food carried equal importance. Two Guns Espresso brings that philosophy directly into the South Bay with drinks like flat whites, long blacks, and cappuccinos prepared with careful attention to balance and texture. The food menu follows the same philosophy, leaning toward fresh, energetic dishes such as avocado toast, breakfast bowls, and simple plates built around quality ingredients. Over time the café has built a strong following among locals who appreciate both the quality of the coffee and the relaxed community atmosphere that fills the space each morning.
How to fold Two Guns Espresso into your trip.
Two Guns Espresso works as the first ritual of a morning along the Manhattan Beach shoreline.
Arrive early when the café buzzes with locals beginning their day and the espresso machine rarely pauses between drinks.

Pair the coffee with avocado toast or a breakfast plate and let the morning settle in before wandering toward the sand or strolling along Manhattan Beach Boulevard. The café leaves behind the unmistakable rhythm of coastal mornings shaped by great coffee and ocean air.
