Humblemaker Coffee Co.

In the early days of the pandemic, back when the currency of society was toilet paper and hand sanitizer, the greyness of the clouds hid any silver lining beyond the horizon. Hopelessness cast a pall over the sunny streets of Seal Beach. Locked down and depressed, I drove down PCH looking for comfort in some sort of normalcy. Yelp suggested Humblemaker and I decided to venture into the lions den to see if a mocha could save me from the crashing waves of doom. I walked in and the barista greeted me, his eyes radiating positive energy as the mask hid his smile. After ordering my customary mocha, we somehow fell into easy conversation. I am certainly not a conversationalist but somehow he brought out the hope of this hopeless situation. We talked about surfing, history, classics, and writing, all within the 2 minutes it took for the mocha to be made. Leaving Humblemaker humbled was an experience I was not expecting. I've been back often since and plan to continue. What a lovely experience and a blueprint for what a local shop can and should be. So nice.

The coffee seems to differ in flavor depending on who made it. Which I actually find to be an enjoyable experience. It's never bad just different sometimes. It really gives off the fresh made personal touch vibe.

Very nice, helpful , and caring staff! I’m not used to the tonic water coffee, but I was allowed to exchange it for a lemonade. Thanks!

Great Aesthetic. Try the “Cabin Fever” specialty drink.

Nice spot. Average coffee. Understaffed.

Friendly, helpful service! Delicious coffees, my favorite is El Diablo with my request Oat milk.
Awesome quiche and wonderful fresh pastries! 5 stars!

Chill and compassionate coffee joint, looks like they have some great veggie eats, too.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Great place to go and study or write. It has an outdoor seating area upstairs, so there is a place to go if it's busy inside.

Barista was super friendly and knowledgeable. Iced espresso was fantastic!

Very cozy place with delicious coffee for just a bit higher price worth it
