Pursue Coffee

If you know me, you know I have ridiculously high standards for coffee. The coffee here is "pretty good" -- interesting beans brewed on solid kit by skilled baristas who take the time they need. The flat white was exceptional, with ideal texture and textbook contrast of flavor between the espresso and the milk. The Kenyan espresso could have been tuned better, to my light-roast taste, and I felt the pourover could have had more contact time. Pursue is a great neighborhood spot. They get to know you, and they care about making a great experience, including food and coffee and service. They contribute to their neighborhood and the coffee is only part of what makes this place great.

Found this little treasure a year ago. I have been back over and over. The service is amazing and the coffee is delicious and always so pretty! The parking is small, but you can easily find parking across the street. Trust me the treat is worth it! 🥰

Had an absolutely stunning 'tall black' (think short Americano.. essentially a double shot of espresso poured into 150g of hot water) here. The fellow behind the bar suggested the signature blend when I was leaning single origin, and boy it did not disappoint. Ended up with the SO too. These folks are artists. He also spent the time to share his recipe. The blueberry scone I got was also delicious .. but that signature tall black is just... *chef's kiss* Coffee should only ever be this good.

Pursue Coffee is the essence of a neighborhood shop; warm, inviting, and serving exceptionally delicious coffee & breakfast. The atmosphere is this shop is fostered by their owner David, who really cares about people and coffee. Their water kettle is perpetually set at the exact temperature needed for pour overs, and these cups end up tasting better than what the roasters could have hoped for. They also do all their baking in house and the food delicious. This is obviously extremely rare, and another example of just how different this shop is. If you want a great, local experience, go to Pursue Coffee!

By far the best coffee shop in the South Bay, maybe even LA. They do everything with love and care and this shows any time the owner describes anything on the menu. They put incredible thought into making everything from scratch and spare no expense sourcing ingredients from around the world. It's a little pricey and the portions arent large (only one size), but you get what you pay for.
