If I had to pick one coffee shop that lives rent-free in my head, it's Menotti's…read more Yeah, the prices have gone up over the years, but somehow I still find myself thinking about this place all the time. It's one of those spots that's worth the occasional splurge because the quality is just that good. The Spanish Latte is easily one of my favorites and a must-try if you're visiting for the first time. But if you know about the secret menu... sheeeesh. I'll have to gatekeep that one. Let's just say it's hands-down the best latte I've ever had. Perfect balance, amazing flavor notes, and one of those drinks that makes you stop and appreciate how good coffee can actually be. The atmosphere is just as great as the coffee. There are games to play, cozy corners to hang out in, and little hidden gems throughout the shop if you're paying attention. It's the kind of place where you can grab a drink and end up staying way longer than you planned. A true Venice classic and still one of the best coffee spots I've ever been to. Staff is amazing and just feels just a community, they make the experience feel incredible for just getting a coffee

The barista's are skilled and know how to pull proper lattes etc. Kudos also for the general good vibes from Masa and Christian who are often behind the counter serving up the finest brew. There's also a spacious sunny outdoor area for sitting, studying, catching up with friends. Last time I was there the Venice Fire Fighter crew was at the table next to us which was cute. Even though it's positioned right by the boardwalk, Menotti's is just as much of a local's spot as it is suited for visitors.

I've been to Little Lunch Coffee a few times now and it's a cute option for coffee and chilling at…read more Interesting thing that I don't love though -I've never been greeted when I walked in or when going to the register. Every time I've gone in they just look at me and wait for me to just start ordering. I'm not used to that but that's the vibe here, no hellos. They have a small parking lot across the side street which is a blessing in Venice and appreciated. I liked their chocolate chip cookie a lot, the pastries were good and no complaints there. However, I never had a drink I was in love with though they were all totally drinkable. I feel sad because I was excited to come here to try this Aussie vibes coffee shop. I kept hoping my first trip, then my second was an anomaly, but alas~ three stops in and it's been pretty much the same every time. Honestly, I enjoy my mornings started with friendliness so I don't foresee coming back to Little Lunch Coffee.

I keep trying them and by no means an expert but I like the touch of sweetness…read more At Dayglow, they used the smallest squirt of strawberry inside the plastic cup, so was prepared to be disappointed. Watching as the barista/matcharista made the matcha with such care, checking the temperature of the water, whisking, what appeared to be a lot of milk over ice, I was skeptical. The matcharista started teaching me the technique to whisk it properly, talking about the quality of the matcha and how I can attempt to make it at home. He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I was very impressed with the quality of the matcha, it was incredibly earthy and slightly creamy... and that small squirt of strawberry was jut right, not too sweet but added a hint of flavor. My friend had a decaf coffee drink and was pleased enough to say she'll be back.

OVERALL: QUALITY MEETS QUAINT! In my opinion, Saint Maxime is the best espresso + ceremonial matcha…read morespot on Rose Ave in Venice, and quite possibly the best on the Westside of LA. It is a thoughtful blend of the highest quality beverages with genuinely unique flavor offerings, paired with the charm of ordering from an impeccably kept Airstream that feels both nostalgic and intentional. I love their classic cappuccino, but the special menu is creatively unique, if you're into that. Interesting options like the Fig Leaf Cream Top Cold Brew and the Banana Cream Top Matcha Latte are truly delicious and beautifully balanced, without being a cloying sugar bomb. This has become a favorite quick and easy yet elevated activity with friends on a quintessential sunny Sunday in LA. Also the owner who is always there running the show is super kind and has clearly mastered barista artistry which adds to the overall experience. Saint Maxime takes pride in their powerfully compact business and it comes through with every sip.

I love how the great coffee just keep flowing in Venice Beach…read more FLO COFFEE BAR has limited indoor seats and none outdoors. The space is essentially a garage with the garage door open. Of course, it has been reno-ed so it is sanitary AND esthetic. The line "goes out the door" because there really isn't an "indoor". But not to worry, it won't be long before you make it to the front of the line and get to order your drink. I was ever so glad to see a "Nico" on the menu, but upon reading it, the "Scarlet" is what I ended up ordering.... and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. The roast they used is sufficiently strong. The spices were delicious. The location is a stone throws away from the end/beginning of Abbott Kinney. We were able to find a parking spot on the street nearby. There is no private parking lot. On a Saturday morning, it didn't take us long to find a spot. I'm not sure how it will be during the weekday. If you so need, there is a parking lot with meters a couple of blocks away. A "block" in this area is pretty short. The baristas know their regulars and are friendly to newbies like me.

This place is very close to us and I had been wanting to try their breakfast. The food was average…read more We ordered the chilaquiles (with both sauces but they forgot green) with chicken on the side. The chicken oddly came as the first item even before our coffees so the chicken was getting cold in the table awaiting the rest of the food. We also tried the choco french toast, which I had high expectations for but honestly, something I could make at home. We found it somewhat overpriced, including the tipping when its a self serve cafe, and not much food for the value. The only absolute good thing was the pistachio latte. Because my lavender matcha didn't even have lavender, and felt like milk with a splash of matcha, I couldn't even finish it. Service was good and kind, but we will not be returning again
