Ashley was fantastic. I walked in and immediately loved the atmosphere -- very clean, bright, tons of natural sunlight, plus a great outdoor patio with plenty of seating. I've been doing carnivore with low-glycemic foods, avoiding sugar and caffeine, but I completely fell in love with their whole bean decaf coffee. It's rich, dark, balanced, smooth, and honestly has this incredible chocolatey flavor without being bitter. I went back today hoping they sold the beans in-store, and thankfully they do. Ashley gave amazing customer service and really took the time to help me figure out what to order. She explained I could do a decaf espresso or an Americano with an extra shot to make it stronger. I asked if they had unsweetened coconut milk, and while they didn't, she let me know their almond milk is house-made with no added sugar. I went with that... and wow. I'm genuinely impressed. Their almond milk is delicious too. If you're looking for a really well-balanced, delicious dark coffee in the Abbott Kinney area, you can't go wrong with Blue Bottle Coffee. It's basically Rodeo Drive for hipsters in the best way possible. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and great service. read more

One arrives with appetite primed and expectations duly managed, only to be greeted by the stark, unyielding finality of a locked door and darkened windows. This location, it would seem, has served its final course--though its digital footprint remains curiously, almost defiantly, alive. In an era where a restaurant's online presence functions as its de facto maître d', the failure to update one's public-facing information is less an oversight than a final, parting discourtesy. To leave hungry patrons standing on the pavement, menus mentally perused and reservations mentally confirmed, is a service failure that lingers longer than any after-dinner digestif. A regrettable curtain call, and one that does no favors to whatever legacy this kitchen might have otherwise claimed. read more

There's people who know the difference between expensive wine and "cheap" wine. I'm one of those people that really doesn't. If it tastes good, no matter the price, I like it. With Blue Bottle, I went there to just get a good cup of coffee. For me, I love Peet's, Trader Joe's and Starbucks' Blonde Roast. If you told me the difference between those and small batch roasters, a $20 cup of coffee, and someone who did some rare pour over in East Africa that was picked with golden thongs... I honestly couldn't tell you the difference. With that said, the lady behind the counter was super nice. But other than that, the coffee was meh. read more

Small space, great coffee prepared with care, excellent customer service. Love that you can purchase a refillable bottle and buy pre-made brews (cold brew, etc) in bulk then bring the empty back for refills at a discount. Street parking in this area. read more

I've been a fan of BB for a long time and I'm glad you can order ahead via app because sometimes lines can be long. This time I ordered in person and it was a quick turn around. I asked for a flat white even though it was not in the menu. Solid flat white! The almond croissant was big (great to share) but it contained a small piece of saran plastic wrap under the almond paste - so I let the team know about it and they acknowledged my concern. They have a nice outdoor seating but very limited seats available. Parking on Abbot Kinney can be very tricky. read more

When you enter a coffee shop and you hear supporting laughter among the staff, I tend to have a relief that my beverage of choice will be made with the love and care as if I made it myself. I am a firm believer that when there is joy in the workplace, it reflects in the product that is produced. My order of the "Hot Nola" was a refreshing and delicious as expected. Just watching the staff move in a symphonic rhythm of pouring, grinding, and taking the customer's order was teamwork personified. Should Lexi take your order, she will brighten your day with her spirited voice along with her professional approach to service. Selina will create your beverage with upmost care and freshness. Should you arrive early in the morning and sit at the streetside table, the people watching at that time is amazing if not entertaining. You'll get the usual jogger/bicyclist, but the parade of women conducting "The Walk of Shame" is sinfully hilarious; barefoot with high heels in hand will give any observer a smirk. Blue Bottle coffee is a great place to receive excellent service, relax with delicious cup of Joe, and watch all walks of society pass you by. read more

Really sweet staff at this location! Quick and friendly service every time I'm in the shop. Who doesn't love stopping at the Blue Bottle in trendy & hot Abbot Kinney Venice?! If you can find a parking spot~! Ya girl is an early bird so I never have problems there but just know it's impossible to find a parking spot past 11am here on a weekend. Bike, walk, get there another way! This is a cute location made extra great with the sidewalk seating. Prime people watching for some caffinenation and fun. My go to every time I go to any Blue Bottle - the Iced Nola. My milk type doesn't matter to me but I went oat today because why not. It's always reliable, always delish and with a $1 tip I'm at $7.75 and pure mouth bliss. I think Blue Bottle is the most reliable local coffee chain in LA! I'll for sure be back to this location. read more

This is my favorite Blue Bottle location by far. I always order ahead since this is probably one of their busiest stores I've been to. Unfortunately, I cannot give five stars with good conscience given that the location frequently gives rise to annoyances, such as people smoking or vaping. There has been a problem with homeless people emptying the trash can nearby, but thankfully, that has stopped. I love their outside patio that was put in place during the pandemic. There is inside seating too, but it's very limited. Their staff is exceedingly kind and attentive. read more

This is definitely for the coffee fanatics, which I am not. Great service and great coffee, I prefer fun sweet drinks and their vanilla shakarito or whatever it's called was straight espresso no vanilla in sight. read more

I don't appreciate paying for something that I don't get and as well it's a lack of respect for my intelligence when it comes to the product that I order.. I left a review about this same thing happening to me and like a dummy I went back out of necessity and the same thing happened. read more

I used to go to Blue Bottle all the time in NY. I loved the winter latte. It was not too sweet and had exciting flavors of juniper and pepper... super unique. Parking stinks but we managed to find some street parking. read more

It's a small space, best for grab and go. Very limited seating. It has a very simple, clean look. go! Staff was friendly and we got our orders in quickly. I tried their iced chai latte with oatmilk and it was probably the best one I've ever had. I also tried their chocolate cookie because any chocolate chip cookie with salt flakes on it catches my eye and immediately makes my mouth water. Let me tell you it tasted as good as it looked and I'm still dreaming about the next time I get to go to a Blue Bottle. read more

Gooooood coffee and that's that. If you're a consumer and connoisseur of the high end stuff then it's a no brainer. Yes - a tad more expensive than other coffee shops but treat yourself at least once in a while. The baristas are experienced and efficient. note that you should specify if you'd like it extra hot ! I find it always to be a little on the warm side so I make sure to ask. it's a busy Abbot Kinney location and parking can be challenging at times but something always pops up and street parking is free. Casual place, mostly grab and go but with some seating outside. read more

Metered street parking. I did find street parking across the street that was free. Cute location, clean and nice decor. Restrooms available in the back. Friendly and fast service. Pastries are delicious. Coffee is well presented and great tasting. They also sell beans and etc to take home. read more

Among the pretty on the outside but ugly on the inside coffee houses of LA Blue Bottle Abbot Kinney is the one for me. This is my very merry caffeinated love letter to Blue Bottle Abbot Kinney. I'm sorry I waited 8 years to write about you. I forgot. I also keep forgetting to take a picture of the beautiful art on the foam of my gibralter. Forgetting is a thing with me here and it maybe the same for you if your a regular like me. You may walk in one morning and find just like I do its easy to forget that Selena is not the owner but the manager. Yes thats right its not a moms and pops and it may escape you to consider Selena and her staff just run Blue Bottle Abbot Kinney almost as if they are the ones that have to pay the rent. Never without love never without authenticity. Sometimes I want a cap sometimes I want a gib most of the time I get the expresso always quality always smiling always consistent like scary consistent. Stay you BB Abbot Kinney. read more

I've had Blue Bottle before at a different location and hadn't been impressed. Maybe it was due to the drink I'd ordered, but any case, I was willing to give it another try. I opted for the Cardamom latte this time, and WOW! I got a big hit of floral orange blossom, and overall, a very delightful drink. The barista prepared the latte beautifully; I'd say Blue Bottle redeemed itself! read more

I've tried their bottled cold brew from Whole Foods before and was excited to get to see this place in person! Their coffee is decent, so I ordered matcha. Pretty light but not bad! No seating inside, only outside. They're really just taking orders when you walk up to the counter. It's a cute area super close to the beach. Walking around here is pretty easy. Lots of people were walking around and stopping by for drinks. read more

I have tried Blue Bottle on the east coast and was always impressed with how smooth the coffee was. I recently decided to try their match and with no surprise loved how smooth and delicious it was! We stopped by the Abbot Kinney location on a Friday and had a barista who was incredibly friendly and knew his stuff. He has a consistent line of people but handle each coffee order as they came. Even more impressive the coffee was delicious as he stayed consistent with the traffic running a one-man show with no help (the other staff member was handling admin items). Excellent location, staff, and coffee. Can't wait to stop at this location again! read more

The line was absolutely crazy and with only about 4-5 people in front of me and probably took at least 25-30 minutes before placing my order. That being said, the staff was friendly and they were doing their best. Outdoor seating was cramped and the seats were pretty uncomfortable, but it was clean. I ordered the cold foam Nola and man that cream was DELICIOUS. I'm a Starbucks drinker usually, honestly, I'm about getting caffeinated haha, but this drink was so delicious that I sipped slowly. For I think $9, to me that's one or two large cold brew jugs name brand at the grocery store so I don't like to spend that much on a single cup of coffee, but if you need to treat yourself and you have the time, highly recommend it. Finally found of what the hype was all about. read more

Went to this location few times already. The coffee is good and tasty, the stuff was friendly and quick. It looks beautiful inside and i love the sitting outside. Will come back soon! read more

I came here and had an issue with my drink. I brought the issue up to Gabby and she was extremely understanding and professional and actually made me feel the want to come Back just because of the her enthusiastic service. Great vibes and atmosphere, thank you again read more

I am sure the one of a kind amazing manager, Selina , will sooner or later see this post haha. I was both a past guest and a former employee at this location. And I can tell you guys so much about this location that you may want to know or don't f care. But all in all, this place is a rare gem and practices one heck of unparalleled consistency like no others. Whether you've been to other blue bottle locations, tried different drinks, maybe have good, great, or even poor experience in your visits because of hospitality, prolonged waiting time, or the quality of the drink, or whatever it may be; Abbot Kinney blue bottle is entirely a place of its own... yes it's true. I myself have coffee crawled over 20 different locations in LA, and some in Japan. And not just Blue Bottle in general. I have been to numerous coffee shops, and experience all kinds of quality of hospitality. And this place has upheld a spectacular consistency in hospitality, community, and the quality of specialty coffee. It is unfortunate that this quality isn't nearly as consistent in many other blue bottle locations. But we all know this. It is all too common in too many shops around the world, especially in major company or chains. That's why this place is literally an island of its own. If you are a coffee lover, then come to this spot. Cuz the quality of the drinks is crazy upheld. The staff would rather remake your drink other than serve it out bad even during a crazy rush. And they practice dial and even redial coffee until it actually taste good enough to be served. And yes, I cannot leave out the fact that this location is the busiest SoCal location in number of transactions. If you don't mind waiting for long as 20 mins for a cup of coffee, then I am confident to say that it is worth the wait. This place has a high number of regulars and foot traffic that everyday from as early as 7 am till 10 am after, is a mob town. And the number of people coming itself shows how busy and great this location is. This place continues to practice a great coffee culture. The management is literally top notch. And in turn, the team has a good value in practicing consistent hospitality and quality. Even if you happen to experience a not so great visit in a pocket of moment when the cafe cannot control, come back again and give it another shot. I mean, no shop is 100 perfect. But this place is for sure in the top 95% in the least. read more

I visited friends near abbot Kinney Blvd and I saw blue bottle coffee shop . They had nice outdoor sitting area and many smiling people around around so I decided to give it a try.

Without a doubt, Blue Bottle is one of the best-tasting coffees in Los Angeles, but waiting 30 minutes for it is just ridiculous. You place an order in advance, drive over, and when you arrive, it's still not ready--while people standing in line get their coffee right away. How does that make any sense? read more

I go to the blue bottle on abbot Kinney every single day, the sweetest group of baristas I've ever met :) they greet me by first name every day and I'm truly addicted to the uplifting spirited kindness they offer to me in my morning ritual before I go to work. Shoutout to Selena and the gang read more

On my last few visits to this location, I've seen dogs put their front paws up onto the counter near the register to receive a treat from the staff from the jar. The counter is not sprayed or wiped before the next customer orders, and it's happened more than once. I do love dogs - however - I don't think staff or patrons would be happy with me putting my dirty shoes onto the counter, the same place customers set their purse, wallet, phones, etc. Dogs are obviously walking on the street through some pretty vile stuff I've seen on the ground... poop, pee, spit, dirt, etc. I wish the staff had more awareness for cleanliness on top of their love for dogs. read more

Had their caramel chocolate chunk cookie, vegan banana bread with pecans, and a strawberry croissant this morning. Holy holy they all were delicious! I wish they'd offer a 16 ounce latte. And I think the cost for their 12 ounce latte is too high. I can get a 16 ounce latte from Intelligentsia for less than a 12 ounce latte from BB. But these pastries are not to be missed! read more

I don't see the big hype around this place. Coffee is decent but it's nothing worthwhile. I ordered the iced Nola which was okay, not much flavor but the coffee itself was decent. read more

I love their coffee. New Orleans, Cappuccino, Shakerato, Sweet Latte... all solid. They default now to Oat Milk so if you're a whole milk person, you need to specify that from the jump. Now the most important detail to mention, Bluebottle no longer serves Sugarbloom Pastries. If you've ever had their croissants, you'd know how top rate they are. Flaky outside, soft buttery inside. They're so good I've ordered their frozen ones and had them delivered from Glassell Park. I'm not vegan but even their vegan offerings are good. The current croissants are... fine. I probably wouldn't care if I've never had Sugarbloom but I have and now they will be sorely missed. read more
