    Coffee tasting
    Richie D.

    I'm familiar with Alana's in Mar Vista, and when I learned about the coffee tastings I almost went to the Mar Vista location but it was being held in their new Venice location. I believe this used to be a restaurant but now this coffee shops fits right in the neighborhood. With indoor and outdoor seating, it's a nice vibe to enjoy a cup of coffee. I enjoyed their coffee tasting with other fellow community members and the director of coffee, brewing 3 types of delicious coffee that Alana's offers. It was a nice experience getting to learn more about coffee and Alana's.

    Great place to pop in for coffee lovers. Seating out back with a kitschy camper; in front for sidewalk-talk and tiny inside for the studious writers. Roasted beans on site, this place is surely kicking "Boycott-Black Friday Big business" vibes in exchange to support the #Shop Small BUSINESSES Locally! Holiday delicious lattes right now! I recommend the Maple Latte. All the milks/ creams of your choice along with pastries for Vegan, carnivores and gluten free pastries. Come on Farmer market Sunday. Staff is chatty and clearly tight with one another. PS- they do love dogs but big ones stay outside because inside is small.

    Alanas Coffee Roasters is a great spot if you want excellent coffee and a calm welcoming place to sit. I ordered an iced mocha and it was smooth rich and not overly sweet which is exactly what I look for. You can tell they care about the quality of their coffee and how drinks are prepared. The space itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed with lots of natural light plants and a relaxed creative vibe. There is plenty of seating inside and outside which makes it easy to work meet someone or just enjoy a quiet moment. Service was friendly and efficient and everything felt easy from ordering to pickup. This is the kind of coffee shop you remember and want to come back to when you are nearby.

    Stumbled across this really cool coffee shop in Venice, not far from the Canals. The place was super inviting, and the outdoor shaded patio is such a vibe -- loved the furniture and all the plants. I'm a big matcha and chai lover, so I tried the "Pirates Chai," and it was SO GOOD. I raved about this place to my friends, so we ended up stopping back by later. I ordered the breakfast burrito, and it did not disappoint! It was super filling and could totally be shared. I agree with the other person that said having some music in the background would be a nice added touch, but otherwise really awesome spot!

    We hosted my husband's 40th at Alana's and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Chef Brandon and his team curated an incredible menu. Out guests are still raving about the food. The space is already so beautiful and needed minimal décor, and the team was wonderfully flexible in letting us add a few personal touches. It's a coffee shop by day and an amazing venue for hosting events after hours. Warm, welcoming, and effortlessly stylish. Highly recommend Alana's to anyone looking for a unique spot to celebrate something special!

    Really cool inside and out all the drinks were yummy a little on the pricey side, but the area calls for it super friendly staff

    This place is all about the vibe and location. Spacious patio...I occasionally spend an hour here working and get a straight-on view of the ocean. The coffee on the hand is not my cup of tea...it's not bad, but not to my taste either. The croissants are delicious and have enough consistency so as not to flake everywhere after a bite. However, all this comes at a premium price. $5 for a cappuccino and $6.5 for a Nutella croissant.

    I always go to the Mar Vista location, but on a rainy day it was too packed to sit and get some work done, so I checked out this spot.

    Strawberry Macha! 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.

    Was in the area and looking for a spot to hang out for a bit when I came across Dayglow! I've been…read moreto a few of their other locations, so I was happy to see one in Venice. The cafe is bright and airy with plenty of natural light and a mix of tables and counter seating. Service was friendly as well. I ordered the blackberry tart matcha, which had a pleasant tart blackberry flavor, but unfortunately the matcha itself was very faint and disappointing. At $8 for a small, it also felt a little pricey. If you order your drink for here, it comes served in a nice glass, which is a thoughtful touch. Overall, I'd probably stick with their coffee drinks.
