Thank you everyone for the amazing response to my last post listing some of my favorite businesses on upper Pier Ave here in sunny Hermosa Beach!
And since it was so popular, here are more of my favorites in Hermosa—check them out, and hopefully they’ll become your favorites too…
Paciugo Gelato–hands down the best ice cream in the south bay, with the friendliest staff. You can’t get more family business than the mother/daughter Team of Brittny and Monien behind the counter. And, caramel sea salt, incredible.
Molly’s Skin Care–love the facials, love the Epicuren products, love the customer service, thank you Molly’s!
Bo Bridges Photography–So talented, who doesn’t want to see incredible pics of hot extreme sports guys in action? Did I say that? Gorgeous photos of local landmarks too…
Pilates Place–The most beautiful space in which to excersize ever. Instructors are amazing. When I can get off my lazy bum this is the place I go for Ange’s dynamic jumpboard reformer class.
The Mermaid–can’t beat this place for dive bar atmosphere, especially good on a sunday afternoon.
Grekos–have you been searching for an 80’s movie poster for your bedroom wall? Then this is the place for you! Some pretty blown glass objects as well…
La Playita–the best view in town and a fantastic place to take the kids.
Spyder Surf–did you know they carry an amazing selection of women’s jeans?
Mama D’s–thank you for letting us wreak havoc each time we come in, and thanks for still giving us the free warm chocolate chip cookies at the end of every meal!
Kathleen Lowry Acupuncture–Kathleen heals me every 3 weeks. She has been in the same space on Hermosa Ave for 23 years and she knows her stuff. 1 hour appointment includes acupuncture and a 15 minute hot stone massage, amazing.
Beach Hut–In high school we used to ditch school to head here for the teriyaki chicken bowl. Had it this morning and it’s still worth it!
Karen’s Cleaners–customer service here cannot be beat. Great tailoring, oh and excellent dry cleaning too.
Mediteraneo–tapas tuesdays cannot be beat! love the staff, the wine and the food here.
Barnacles–Will’s favorite hands down.
Public Library–Lily’s favorite after school activity, well actually second only to Paciugo!
