Bites Nearby: Coffee for 2 on Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is on the horizon. If you don't have any solid plans in place, why not invite a new love interest out for a casual cup of joe?

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is offering a two-for-one Valentine's Day special Tuesday. Simply buy one drink and the second one (at equal or lesser value) is free. 

Coffee Bean recently held a Valentine's Day Facebook poll and discovered that 34 percent of first-time daters would prefer to meet at a coffee shop to have peace and quiet while engaging in quality conversation.

Twenty-four percent of respondents said they'd choose a coffee shop so they could have a quick date and end it early if necessary—no need to fork over big bucks for a date going awry. And for a comfortable setting with no pressure, 25 percent said they'd choose a coffee shop on a first date.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf closest to Hermosa Beach is at 1133 Artesia Blvd., according to the company's website.
