I dropped in for a quick Saturday morning coffee before heading to work. It was nice to a find a place that was actually open before 8am that serves good coffee. Inviting atmosphere inside and outdoor patio in the back. Service dog friendly. As I was standing there deciding on the menu, another patron came in and I could tell they were a regular. The staff knew their order and had a good conversation on the weekend plans. I could become a regular and know that I would be welcome. They also have their own parking lot. Spaces along Venice Blvd as well read more

Probably the cutest coffee shop i went to this weekend, I loved the vibe of both the inside seating area and the outdoor patio as well. They had a really good pastry selection and seasonal drink menu. We tried the peach cobbler latte, raspberry mocha, 1+1+1, and Spanish latte. As well as 2 pastries. The 1+1+1 is for dine-in only since it comes all separate. Super cute little set, I have never seen a coffee shop with that on the menu! Their espresso is very light tasting. Favorite drink was probably the Spanish latte, the raspberry mocha was a close second but slightly too sweet for my preference. Favorite pastry was the everything croissant out of the two we ordered, mainly because it had a ton of fluffy whipped cream cheese inside! read more

3-1/2 stars. Charming coffee spot with a designated parking lot (a rarity in this part of town)! Coffee selection is solid, and I opted for the orange Dreamsicle cloud latte. The coffee base was decent, but I did not get any orange flavor at all. Not the best coffee I've had, but it did the trick for an afternoon pick-me-up. read more

This is the second location of Alana's I've been to. They have the actual bean roasting (I think) area and machines inside so you see part of the process, very cool. The coffee is very good, got an iced mocha on a hot day like today. There's seating inside, in front of the coffee shop and on their back patio. A lot of people here doing work today. read more

The drinks here are absolutely delicious! We really enjoyed their Matcha lemonade, a very unique twist with what seemed like iced tea. Perfectly refreshing on a hot day! Service is wonderful, they are so friendly and welcoming. They get through the lines quickly with a smile and everything is made perfectly. Prices are extremely fair and their coffee is roasted in house and fresh and delicious every time. Highly recommended if you are looking for the great drink or pick me up in the area. read more

Absolutely love this place. The staff are fun, welcoming, and make the whole experience feel easy and inviting. The coffee is excellent, and I really appreciate the variety of vegan options. My favorite part is the outdoor seating in the back--it feels like a little garden oasis tucked away from the noise. It's the perfect spot to sip your coffee, relax, and maybe get lost in a book for a while. They also offer indoor seating and tables out front, so even when it's busy, you'll most likely still find a place to sit and enjoy your time. read more

Just moved to Mar Vista and stumbled upon Alana's! Love love love this coffee shop. It's a super popular spot with tons of delicious coffee and pastries. The line was kind of long when I went but moved pretty quickly. I ordered the orange creamsicle latte and oh mannn the cream was so good. It's my go to now! The outside is also really nice and spacious as people often chill there. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu! read more

Love a good iced or hot vanilla latte and they make such a good one. One of my go to places! Looove!

Came by to grab a bag off coffee beans. Appreciated that I got a free cup of drip coffee with the bag. Extremely loud and crowded inside with people standing in the walkways, would recommend staff advising people on where to wait. The coffee I bought tastes good though! read more

This could be up there as one of best coffee spots i've ever been to. Incredible. Truly incredible coffee. Alana's roasts their beans in-house, and you can taste the difference. Fresh, rich, and beautifully balanced , the kind of coffee that makes you slow down and actually enjoy every sip. The staff were just as impressive welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. It adds so much when the people behind the counter care about what they're serving. The ambiance is cute and cozy, with a relaxed neighborhood feel. Plus, the available outdoor seating makes it a perfect spot to sit, sip, and stay awhile. read more

This coffee shop is nestled right in my neighborhood, so it was almost obligatory that I come in. It was only later that I learned that Alana's is an LA must! My girlfriend and I really enjoy the coffee from here and love walking our pups early in the morning to get our day started right. Alana can get really packed during peak hours, so make sure you have some time to spare or get in before the crowds gather. read more

This place was cool! I needed a spot to get some work done and I was not alone in that pursuit. The staff were all a lovely, the coffee I got was good, and the pastry hit the spot. I will say the Chorizo hand pie was on the spicer end so watch out if you're a wimp like me aha. WiFi was fast, seating was ample, so a solid place to be if you need to hang! read more

A lovely spot to work from! There is limited space indoors, but if you like to work outside there is so much space, and good wifi! Lots of little nooks to camp out in. Staff is super friendly and the drinks are great! read more

Solid coffee, with fast staff. The overnight oats are delicious. Cute space with a fun vibe too.

I cannot believe I did not discover this coffee spot until now, despite how close I live to it. Their coffee is very good and well priced (I got the Mocha Latte) and I tried their Vegan Pizza pastry and the bread literally melted it my mouth, it was SO good! The outdoor seating area is SO cute and a perfect place to get some work done or have a chat on a sunny day. It is also located in a nice area around lots of shops and restaurants, and is right by the Mar Vista Farmers Market. This is definitely going to be one of my go-to coffee spots now! read more

Alana's coffee I bet is a staple among the Venice community. It feels like it has been standing for years. As I was pulling into their private parking lot, I could not only smell the amazing coffee aroma but I could hear that coffee roasting process was in full progress which was sooooooo awesome! The service was super friendly. The lavender latte was delicious. The coffee shop was full of people doing work or school stuff which shows that it is a place to just come and hang out and enjoy! I will be back for sure!!! read more

Alana's is easily one of my favorite coffee spots in LA, if not all of Venice. They have an incredible pastry selection - from their mouthwatering chorizo hand-pies to the flaky, guava-filled croissants. Honestly, I could close my eyes and randomly choose anything, confident it will be absolutely delicious, whether it's one of their tasty lattes or another pastry. Service is always great and the owner is such a cool, chill guy! Can't wait to return. read more

Visited Jan '25 - came all the way to Alana's for the mushroom and vegan cheese croissant. This was my third visit back and second time having the croissant. Of everything I've tried, it's easily my favorite and worth swinging by for. Unfortunately, they don't always have it and I would prefer to call before going in that direction but, I don't believe the number works as I don't get an answer. However, I LOVE this croissant and I'm not at all vegan. It MUST be HOT, not warm, hot. That's how you get the full experience. I'm working my way through the menu to find a latte I love. The chai matcha latte is ok (wish they had just a chai latte). It's a cute coffee shop inside but small, the lovely part is the backyard style patio. Parking is easy, right off the side of the building but gets full fast. Staff is always lovely. read more

I'm a little confused over all the 5 star reviews. Is the place really cool because you get to see the coffee roasting process? Yes. Do they have freshly roasted beans for sale? Yes. But I ordered an iced vanilla latte and I swear they forgot to put espresso in it or something. It tasted just like iced oatmilk. My husband got the same thing with regular milk and we tasted zero coffee in it. He also got a cold brew and it was so watered down. We did buy a bag of beans so the cold brew came free with it or a drip coffee. Besides that, the staff is super great! They're all so friendly and welcoming. It is really small inside and I believe you can't be there longer than 2 hours. So probably not the best place to get work done. Overall, I wouldn't come back unless it's maybe to buy beans only. Metered street parking. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in the area! They have limited seating indoors, but tons of cute patio seating! Line is usually very long but worth it! Small adjacent parking lot available but street parking can be found. Delicious drinks, very friendly staff, and tons of pastries & treats! Dog friendly as well! They host occasional live music events too! read more

First time in a decade that I've been back here and honestly, I didn't miss much. The place is really nicely decorated with dog pictures and just the overall design however it is too small. When it gets crowded it's really hard not to bump into anyone. I tried a seasonal coffee (iced maple latte) and honestly it was okay. Nothing too special. Service was fair but not as welcoming as other places. I will give credit, for a place that is crowded they sure were fast. Overall place was decent. read more

This review is for WILL who works here and made my day. Even though it's crowded, he is somehow able to connect with and talk to each customer while keeping the line moving. He also genuinely cares that you like your order. For many reasons, this type of care in the service industry feels like a rarity these days. I have never been here before and frankly, I came because it's the only place around that is open early. Now I will come back because of WILL's spectacular customer service. Oh, and the coffee is good. read more

Really rude staff. One man cut us in line (which was fine we didn't care) when a second women did the barista looked at us as if we were cutting her. The barista was SO irritated with everyone and unfriendly. We observed her ask a couple to take a different drink that wasn't what they ordered so she didn't have to remake it. We came to work on our laptops for the upcoming work week and when we asked about their wifi we were told "maybe it's overused" so we couldn't even connect at all. The matcha and chai is not memorable at all. Definitely worth checking out a different place. read more

I stopped in here on my way to a concert down the street, and found a very charming backyard/courtyard at Alana's coffee roaster. I order their seasonal offering, which is the Spanish latte hot with regular milk. Oh my goodness it is to die for the spices are so delicious and the sweetness is just right. The backyard is so charming. The ambience is fantastic. People are chilled and not rambunctious by the energy is great. There is a small parking lot. It was completely full when I pulled in. But I was able to drive out the back alley which there was a homeless person's cart there however still a very charming little back alley with beautiful vegetation that led to the closest street which I was able to find parking right there. It is quite far from where I live, but I may just come back for an afternoon to enjoy this place as this time I wasn't able to stay. read more

Dear Yelp Community, First time visiting this venue. Very low-key from the front of the venue on the street, so a great ambiance of a surprise upon entering (wine wall, open and spacious, outdoor patio, near the Venice canals, and colorful buildings nearby). Friendly staff. I enjoyed my golden latte (with turmeric). Best wishes. Sincerely, Anna read more

My cardamom decaf latte was good and was served promptly. Cafe has a limited selection of pastries which didn't tempt me. The inside seating is very close. There is an outside patio that looked nice, but I did not utilize it. Seems like a good spot to grab a to go beverage. read more

I love to come here and do some work. They have a great outdoor patio area with some shade but there's also indoor seats too. It looked pretty crowded when I went and it makes sense because the vibe is very friendly, the matcha latte is delicious and the wifi is strong. The inside is very air conditioned so given the hot days, the inside was packed. There are not any outlets in the patio area from what I saw so keep that in mind and come with a fully charged laptop. Then you can chill outside, do some work and enjoy the vibes. Parking: They have a small lot which can be filled up so you may have to look for street parking. It wasn't too bad when I went but a lot of it is 2 hr only. read more

Tl;dr: Amazing place to get really good coffee and hang out/chat, not so much if you're trying to look for a place to work or get easily overstimulated. Drinks: -Hot latte with 2% milk (5/5): Opted for 2% milk because I was too stubborn to pay $1 extra for alternative milk. It was delicious and the barista even made a fancy swan latte art! -Pour over (5/5): The one we tried this day seemed to have some notes of dark chocolate and cherry, but I also could be completely wrong. It was great nonetheless. Food: -Saw some pastry options and other small items such as overnight oats. Their pastries look similar, if not identical, to that of another coffee branch, which I've tried multiple times and had not been impressed with, so I opted out this time. Service: -Friendly and fast, but gosh is it super chaotic. As soon as someone orders, the person working the cash register would yell out the order to the staff working in the back or at the espresso machine. I wish they had a more low key way to handle orders, but I guess this is what they've been doing and a system that they like. There were a few tables inside, but I personally know I would get absolutely no work done inside with all of the constant noise. You could also see someone roasting the beans to the side, so that is pretty cool. -Dog friendly. The cash register gave us a dog treat as soon as we walked up to the counter when he saw we had a dog, which was really nice!! Ambiance: Extremely loud and chaotic inside. Pretty small and crowded, so it can quickly get overwhelming if you're not used to it. There are tables outside both in the front and back. The back is a lot more quiet, though it could still feel pretty crowded because the tables are pretty close to each other and there are a lot of people chatting while enjoying their coffee. Overall, a nice place to hang out and chat, but not really an ideal place to work. I saw some people enjoying their coffee while reading. read more
