Located at 238 Pier Ave in the heart of Hermosa Beach, Gum Tree Shop & Café is a delightful blend of a cozy café and an eclectic gift shop. Patrons rave about its charming atmosphere and the friendly staff. Visitors like Randy Hurst highlight the joy of supporting local businesses while savoring an incredible Americano paired with oatmeal loaded with fresh fruit.

Moreover, the café's coffee offerings are stellar. Kirsten Alana Photography describes their iced lavender latte as "divine," showcasing the skill behind their beverages without overwhelming flavors. The gift shop side is equally compelling, with thoughtfully curated items ranging from children's toys to classy jewelry and home decor, ensuring something for every taste and budget. However, product quality isn’t universally praised, as shared by Saskia D, who faced an issue with earring quality but appreciated the owner's follow-up to resolve the matter.

In addition, food enthusiasts like Candice Foy rave about the delicious meat pie, hoping it remains a staple menu item. Overall, Gum Tree Shop & Café emerges as a must-visit for both gift shopping and satisfying culinary delights, making it a standout in the vibrant community of Hermosa Beach.

A really outstanding pairing of home/gift/design shop with a small-but-mighty cafe and coffee shop. It’s enough to make me want to move to Hermosa Beach and live close enough to Gum Tree that it could be my go to coffee shop and the place I buy all my gifts for friends, loved ones [and myself let’s be real]. If I had something like this on the Hollywood side of town, I’d spend most of my income at it!! In terms of the cafe: I had the iced lavender latte and it was divine. Too much and those can taste more like soap than like a delicious coffee. Theirs is phenomenal. In terms of the shop: from the kids section to the cooking section to the jewelry and the clothes - this is one of the better curated boutiques anywhere in greater LA or the South Bay. And I thought the prices were largely really reasonable. Some pricier things, as is fair, and lots of options to hit other price points too.

Edit: I received a phone call from the owner regarding this issue and we resolved it. I very much appreciate the follow up and will now feel comfortable returning. I purchased two sets of earrings on 12/19. One of the sets was the “small spike huggie hoop earrings 18 kg vermeil”. They cost 68 dollars and I put them on immediately. As I do with all hoop earrings I wear I took them off every night and back on in the mornings. By the third day of wearing them one had fallen off and gotten lost and by the fifth day the other had. I’m extremely disappointed in the quality of the clasp on these earrings, even cheaper pairs of hoops I have owned didn’t come loose as quickly as these. I came in in person to see if anything could be done and the associates took my phone number to pass along to the owner or manager. I told them that it would be enough for me if he/she is simply alerted to the quality control issue. Unfortunately I never received a call or email regarding this and so I am posting this review. It is unlikely I will purchase from this store again.

Been here twice and really enjoyed it. The meat pie is delicious! Hope it stays on the menu for a while.

Very good place for breakfast or brunch! The sandwiches were very unique and among the better ones we had in the area. All of our orders also came with a side of fruits, which left us feeling very healthy :-). When we were finished we cleaned our own table - not sure if that’s expected or not as we did it out of courtesy.

Sweet little shop with super cute housewares and kitchen items as well as things for kids. The cafe is right next door and has quite a variety especially for how small it is. The service is very friendly, very fast and the food we tried was delicious! The Aussie beef pie was so good we drove across town to get it again the next day!

The food, drinks and atmosphere were charming! Very much enjoyed my latte and veggie sandwich. Obvious that a little love was sprinkled on the food just before serving!
