Stopped by Blue Bottle Coffee - Edgemar and had a smooth, easy experience from start to finish. I ordered ahead through the app, and my drink was ready right on time when I walked in -- always appreciated when you're trying to keep the day moving. I went with the Iced Matcha Latte with Cold Foam, and honestly... it disappeared in about five minutes. Super refreshing, nicely balanced, and not overly sweet. I just wished they had more pastry options. The only thing that caught me off guard was that my cold drink came in a hot cup. Not a dealbreaker, just a little unexpected when you're holding what looks like a hot beverage but sipping something iced. Parking was easier than expected. I found street parking nearby, but Yelp tip: they offer 60-minute validation if street parking isn't cooperating. Quick service, solid matcha, and a convenient grab-and-go stop in Santa Monica. read more

Blue Bottle Coffee-Santa Monica is a vibrant corner coffee on Main street. They have a compendious coffee/tea and breakfast menu. I have been to other BBC locations and they always deliver. I have pass by this coffee shop for sometime now but decided to check em out. I was craving for a late morning breakfast; I had an Iced NoLa and Grilled Cheese. Both items were okay and served its purpose. Staff were nice and competent. Atmosphere was relaxing with ample of indoor/outdoor seats. Prices were a bit expensive. Overall, it's a modest coffee shop that delivers what you need-good coffee. read more

I used to come here regularly - they have a nice courtyard with outside seating that's usually not crowded. However, last time I arrived, they locked the door early. Something has changed at this location. read more

Something's going on here. Stopped by twice this weekend and the doors were locked at 3:30pm. Otherwise love the place and baristas.

In my opinion there's only 2 things worth getting at the infamous Blue Bottle: - The NOLA ColdBrew - The Avocado Toast Here's the tea, it's always a gamble on whether or not they will have the avocado toast (only certain locations do and this is one of them). It is super simple and delicious with a plentiful portion of avocado, a little yuzu lemon salt, all topped on local bakery bread. As far as beverages go, the NOLA cold brew is the only chicory coffee in town and reminds me of my time in the big easy. My reason for 4 stars / 5, is the bad excuse for espresso: specifically the double shot is a lie. It is 1 shot barely but they call it a "double". They also call a real double shot a "quad shot" so beware the overpricing paired with skimped portion. The espresso is also super sour and not worth it. read more

I usually love Blue Bottle, but this location is run by an incredibly rude staff. They seem to have a general disdain for their customers. Before writing this, I read a few reviews, and it's clear that I'm not the only one who has had a negative experience here. It makes me wonder how much care they put into keeping the equipment clean. read more

The service and ambiance at this Blue Bottle is great. Nice area to work in the back. read more

If a coffee shop is going to sell $8-10 coffees at least have the "locked" bathroom clean and supply paper!!!! In addition the coffee was bitter and not even worth the price! Never again, over rated and over priced! read more

Favorite spot to get coffee now!! This was my first time at Blue Bottle. The staff recommended the Nola, and I have to say that their Nola (iced) is the best and is now my favorite coffee. The interior has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to do some work and catch up with someone. Definitely recommend this spot! read more

Solid coffee and welcoming people but the WiFi during my time spent there was not great at all. Could hardly get any work done.

Been here a few times since getting a promotion at work and working down the street. Always friendly staff. Chris is not a very professional representative of them, but a very smart barista as well. Highly recommend this location. I know as long as I'm working by them, they can count on me stopping by. read more

I absolutely love blue bottle, Loyal customer for many years to several locations! However, my experience at this BB was the worst experience i've ever had in a BB. My order did not taste like it has previously at other locations, my partner agreed. The customer service was just terrible. Not only did the customer service put a bad taste in my mouth but the coffee did as well. 3 stars because the location is very cute and very clean given the nearby circumstances. read more

MY FAVORITE COFFEE EVER. Blue bottle is always AMAZING. My favorite forever and ever and ever will always be the New Orleans Style. It is strong, slightly sweet, slightly creamy - literally the perfect blend and mix of coffee and happiness and yumminesss. If you love iced coffee - this is a must. I also tasted the breakfast spinach croissant sandwich and omg it was delicious. It has this slightly spicy salsa that was to die for. The staff are super accommodating and the location is so cutey. A bit on the pricy-her end but hey that's LA coffee for ya. I'll def spend my money at blue bottle always! read more

I tried the New Orleans chicory iced coffee as recommended, and it was very good! I don't like that the default milk is oat and they charge up for almond milk. Seems unfair. However, I would still repurchase. B+ flavor, and high quality coffee. There is also a vegan donut shop next door, so that's fun for a special accompanying treat. read more

I've been coming to this blue bottle for years and it's amazing. The coffee is really pricey but so worth it. I love the ice sweet latte. The interior layout is also super cozy! read more

Great service. Love the ambience and quality of the coffee service is always impeccable and their knowledge is helpful

Ah yes, another extremely expensive coffee place in Los Angeles, I guess we don't have enough. Does Blue Bottle live up to the price? I think yes! Blue Bottle makes some really great coffee, but I don't like everything they have on the menu. The service is great. Quick and friendly, everything you would want out of a coffee shop. The aesthetic is awesome, I love the store, the cups, and all the stuff they sell (expensive as f*ck though). The New Orleans Style coffee might be some of the best coffee I've had in Los Angeles. It is unique but still tastes like coffee (not too much sugar/flavoring). I would highly recommend trying this if it's your first time going. The reason I'm not giving it a 5 star is that some of the coffee that they offer is not that good, or doesn't compare to the New Orleans Style. I'm not going to call them a one trick pony, but I was hoping I'd find a few other drinks I like from them just as much. I'm hoping that they do not sacrifice their quality with the rapid expansion that they are doing. There are Blue Bottles opening up all over the place, and usually when this happens the quality at each store decreases. Crossing my fingers! If you find yourself near any location and are in need of some coffee definitely give Blue Bottle a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Tons of seating and consistently good coffee and drinks. Don't expect to eat here though; I know blue bottle rarely offers hot/fresh food at most of its locations but this one lists food on the menu that they never have in stock. Just take the menu down if you're out of item read more

Blue Bottle coffee has opened another location on Main Street in Santa Monica, where Pete Coffee used to be. The coffee shop is very clean and bright. Kind of like being in a pharmacy. Its Japanese minimalism meets warehouse chic. Their menu is pretty limited and there is one cup size for all of the drinks. If you walked in and ordered an iced coffee, you received it in a thick, cardboard cup normally used for hot coffee. Unlike Starbucks and Coffee Bean, you won't find any Frappuccino blended beverages, refreshers beverages or any ice blended drinks. Blue bottle coffee doesn't offer Vanilla latte, just a regular latte which does not taste as good as Vanilla Latte. Non-dairy milk options are oat milk and almond milk. Products for sale: Blue Bottle branded drippers, filters, pitchers, mugs, cold brewers and more. -They don't validate parking (even though there is a parking garage in the building). -Indoors & outdoor seating -Restrooms inside -Pretty quiet so its great spot for working. - Vegan options are available. - They use paper instead of plastic. - Nice staff. read more

Great new coffee shop in the neighborhood! The coffees are super flavorful and fresh. There are lots of options to choose from and the staff is incredibly nice and helpful. Good pastries too. And the space is incredible! They did a great job taking advantage of the architecture of the historic Edgemar location. Sooo light and airy! Well done and welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Love Blue Bottle. Love the employees at this location. Love the coffee. My complaint is with the parking lot for the Edgemar complex. They used to have two of the most lovely, kind parking attendants who always recognized me and greeted me warmly. Now they have two people who, despite seeing me on an almost daily basis act like they've never seen me before. And at the direction of the building owner, they are blocking off all the parking spots on the street level so the parking lot looks empty (for potential renters.) Meanwhile, Blue Bottle also pays rent in the complex, but their customers are directed to park in the underground part of the parking lot even to pick up coffee for five minutes. It's ridiculous and makes for a very poor experience. This is by no means Blue Bottle's fault but the owner of this complex is hurting the businesses that are already there. read more

Visiting Santa Monica for the day, my friend and I were excited to try out this new location on their first day of business. She was familiar Blue Bottle from living in New York. We absolutely enjoyed the friendly service and the clean seating area. My cappuccino was perfect and I loved all the branded coffee paraphernalia, too!

This place is amazing. Very cozy, the staff is super nice and will help you if it's your first time. Parking is super close. I was so satisfied when I came here. If it's your first time I suggest the liège waffle, three africas coffee, cascara fizz and Avocado Toast. This is a perfect breakfast place, and even the aesthetic of the place matches the simplistic and minimalistic theme of the Blue Bottle Coffee. Overall, very beautiful place! I highly recommend it to coffee lovers like me. read more

Really good Americano and cold brew, clean spot, very nice and fast service. Definitely worth stopping by.

Crowded with pretentious people not wearing masks that think their coffee order is the most important topic in the world today-Yes Iced lattes served in cardboard cups that taste like cardboard-Yes Employees that can't handle more than 3 people in line-Yes Employees that are rude and and not very helpful- Yes Their window system for covid regulations doesn't make any sense. The order and pick up line are in the same place. Its very unclear and feels unsafe. Not worth the risk. There are too many other coffee choices cloese by. read more

Not only that, but the caffeine concoctions they're whipping up are dee-licious.

There was paper or something in my latte. I drank most of it, took another sip...paper stuff. I tried another sip...more paper stuff. I took the lid off thinking maybe the lid was disintegrating and tried another sip...even more paper stuff. Gross!! Staff was very friendly, but that doesn't matter when there's something weird in your drink. Ew! read more
