My family and I was on spring break and I remember that Catalina Coffee Co. was out there in Redondo Beach Pier, and sure enough, it was just off the Pier. I first came across this location online, I forgot what I was searching for, but I'm glad I did. This place reminded me of the coffee place in the sit-com ""Friends"". This place was like home, the decor was like a home, with a fireplace, book case, table lamps, floor lamps, big comfy couches, coffee table and wingback chairs, just like home. My kid's favorite was the Chess board, they loved it. While me and my husband enjoyed a cup of coffee, out kids enjoyed their smoothies. I saw people there working on their computers, meeting with friends to knitt. I can spend hours here if I could. We would definitately go back if we're in the area. It made me wish there was a coffee house like that in my city.
Pros: Cozy, homey with Comfy chairs and couches,
Cons: Only one location
