I love coming to this beach, and as a foodie, I'm always looking for different places to try. The pizza was actually really good, and their Aperol spritz is perfect for the heat--especially with how hot it's been lately. The meatballs were also incredibly delicious, definitely a standout. The service was great too--very friendly and even a bit playful, which made the experience even better. Honestly, people are missing out--this spot is really good and definitely worth checking out.

I hate to give a three star review to a newer business, but it's a joke the amount of toppings that…read morethey put on a slice of pizza. I ordered a meat lovers pizza thinking there's gonna be some serious amounts of meat on it. There wasn't even anything close about three or four little pieces of sausage And very little pepperoni. I really don't understand if they think people are gonna come back when you're skimpy at eight dollars a slice plus tax and tip? I hope this place understands the people want some sort of value when they purchase their pizza or any food.

Recently renovated a with a great new exterior, TCE has plenty of outdoor seating and an extensive lunch menu, treats for dogs, juices, coffee, tea and a great assortment of doughnuts and pastries. I have been coming here for 30 years and TCE is the standard for great customer service and excellent choices no matter what your pleasure! When in Venice as a tourist or regular local, this is the gold standard for all your coffee, tea, juice or smoothie selections! Great sandwiches as you pick from the menu or build one yourself! Great ownership committed to the community with longtime employees who are glad to serve you! HIGHLY RECOMMEN! Just steps from the beach. You can't go wrong! RECOMMEND!

Great açaí. Terrible salad…read more Looking for a healthy bite for lunch close to Venice Beach. This place has a huge variety of options - too many for an order at the register spot. Hubby asked the cashier what they do well. "Sandwiches! And smoothies, Açaí bowls." He did not say salad. But I ordered one anyway. I'll listen next time! They have lots of coffee and baked goods options too. The atmosphere is perfectly beach chill. Upstairs seating with windows (I didn't visit that area), and outdoor patio. They could use someone cleaning between tables but other than that, it was a pleasant spot to people watch and chat. Only downside to the big patio area is it's a Covid era build, so it's right next to traffic. When a big truck parks at the light, you're eating next to its exhaust. But that didn't happen often and it was a Saturday. So if you like the sun as much as I do, choose this section. Also - don't come here for eco friendly or insta worthy pics of the food. It's all served in to go containers. I don't eat açaí often. Rarely. But when I do, I'm always pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy it. So when I tasted hubby's, I was taken aback at how much more I enjoyed it than any other I've had. I don't know what it is. The açaí itself tasted like the deepest dark cherry, it had a flavor and texture that was lovely! Generous portions of lightly sweetened coconut shreds and crunchy granola - maybe that's why it was so good? They didn't hold back on these at all! And the banana was fresh, tasty. If you order this you will not be disappointed! The Kale salad, though? Not great. They just chopped up some kale and threw it in there without softening it with oil, or rubbing it or whatever other Kale salad makers do so that one can actually chew the kale. So salt, so seasoning on it whatsoever. The other ingredients were the same. The olives were clearly just some basic sliced olives from a cheap can. Not the kind required for a salad. The grape tomatoes and side of dressing were the only elements that I enjoyed. It domes with some butterless toasted bread (like - toasted til it's tears came out dry and crunchy) and a side of decent hummus. The hummus was good, but I didn't want to eat it with the dry bread. Lucky for me I wasn't really hungry. My take is this is a great option if you stick to what the cashier says they do well. I vouch 100% for the açaí bowi! Also side note, it's not eco friendly and you won't get insta worthy pics of the food. It's all served in to-go containers.

Soul food with a side of greatness I only discovered…read moreBeeWali's Vegan AF about a year ago -- and I've been hooked ever since. Their Eagle Rock location was my first taste, and when I found out they opened a second spot on Venice Blvd, I pulled up immediately. The kabob plate is my go-to -- juicy, perfectly seasoned, and filling in all the right ways. But ask around and you'll hear everybody talking about the viral f'sh plate. And yes, it lives up to the hype. This isn't just food, it's flavor therapy. Every bite feels like it was made with love, and the energy Bee and Wali pour into their food and community is unmatched. Whether you're new to vegan eats or deep in your plant-based era -- this spot will leave you full and inspired.

The wall is full of photos that tell their own story. Menu is very creative and delicious. The food is very special, and photos don't lie! Portions are very big, so be ready to bring some home. Definitely great value for the money versus portion size. Service is very fast, and you can taste the food before ordering. The seating area outside is very cute and not as loud as you would think, considering that the street gets a lot of traffic. Overall, excellent experience. Thank you, Bee and Wali! :)

The menu has lots to choose from. We ended up going with the soy fuerte gratitude crunchwrap, truffled mushroom bianca, and the coconut calamari. The flavors were good and filling! I really enjoyed the calamari, i wasn't expecting it to be young coconut strips but it is a great alternative! The crunchwrap was good as well as the pizza. I was really surprised and told my friend, ok vegan food doesnt look hard to make! She started laughing lol Service was great, lots of seating inside. There is street parking and also a public garage around the corner. I had a great time and did enjoy the food however, im not sure what it could have been but i was using the restroom a lot the next day. I typically eat a lot of veggies so im not sure what it was. I joked with my friend, no wonder you're skinny, i felt like i had a colon cleanse LOL Eating here opened me up to trying new spots that are vegan!

All the servers took amazing care of us - they were friendly, patient, kind, and truly went out of their way to deliver the best service.

We appreciated that all the food came out at a reasonable time as well, despite us having a large party. Casa 12 delivers quality food and service for reasonable prices.

I ordered my usual which is the Caesar Salad with chicken, the Fusilli Funghi, and a side order of Spinach and bread along with an Iced Tea which is $5! The prices have risen at least 10% in 2026, and waiters have a bad habit of bringing our my entree before I finish my salad, but such is life. I dine at CASA 12 because of the people I meet and the interesting people who also sit at the bar. The food is good, the overall delivery of the food could be better, but I'll match their menu with anyone in the Venice/Marina neighborhood. They also host weddings, small parties as well as great date night for any couple. Dinner for one, just a pasta dish and salad is now close to $70 and I do notice some couples sharing an entree. I'll accept the price increases as long as the meal is great and the people just as interesting. The staff is great as well as the ownership who go out of there way to be pleasant and accommodating. When by the beach, consider CASA 12. There pasta is fresh and the seafood, chop and steak choices are all great! RECOMMEND! #1 AT WASHINGTON SQUARE.

The person working here was both the server and sushi chef. He gave us suggestions and was so nice to let my sister try the konjac sashimi. We ordered the Mixed Sushi ($13.50) (salmon, tuna, white fish, inari, spicy tuna), and the No.16 Awesome Roll (15.50) (Soy chicken, yamagobo, cucumber in / salmon, tuna, avocado, spicy mayo, sesame seeds, onion). I was a fan of everything. My sister liked it too except for the texture of soy chicken. The employee threw in the Japanese Pizza (2pcs.) (6.25) (crispy rice, spicy tuna, chopped jalapeno+tomato+avocado/spicy mayo, sweet sauce, sesame) for free so we could try it. That was really nice of him. Overall we enjoyed our food, but the portion is so small compared to how much it costs. I didn't ask about restrooms but I don't think I saw any. It's connected to the Thai Vegan restaurant. They share the same dining area and most likely owed by the same people. Will be back here to try more rolls when we are in the area!
