It's 4th of July and I finally get a chance to really hang out on some of the beach cities such as venice, Marina del rey, playa del Rey etc etc. normally back in the day when I used to work in these areas, I would run from making an appearance anywhere on the 4th of july. But that was then, and this is now. Dipped into this wonderful little cafe that's at ground zero of everything Venice beach. And while the main server was a tad bit pushy, the iced coffee I requested to show off in one of the pictures was a 10 out of 10. If and when you decide to roll through to Venice Beach you definitely want to hit up this particular cafe. read more

I ordered the most delicious latte ever. It actually tasted like chocolate milk. I ordered the Nutella Iced Latte and I have no complaints. $7 for something to drink on Venice Beach is NOT bad! (If you can't tell I'm a tourist. The service was amazing, the woman was so sweet. Not sure if she's the owner, but she was the only one working that day. They have a great store front, loved the windows and the open space. read more

I've lived here all my life and for some reason was always on my way to or from somewhere and never had enough time to just stop and give this place a try. Well, I finally did and I'm glad. I had a fresh bagel and cream cheese and realized I had forgotten to ask for tomatoes. When I told him I wanted to pay to add tomatoes he told me not to worry about it! I love that this is an independent business. The cafe was nice and clean, which I appreciated. I will definitely make time to go back. On a side note, I have fond memories of this corner as a child since my parents used to have a booth when it was kind of a flea market in the '70's. read more

I encountered one of their patrons smoking a cigarette. His friend was vaping. This is illegal in California. Los Angeles city ordinances have prohibited smoking in outside dining areas since 2011. When I alerted the store to this, they did nothing while their patron verbally assaulted me for raising the issue. It's more than disappointing that the store doesn't care about the law and the impression this leaves on the crowds that pass by every day. https://lafd.org/smoking-ordinance read more

Cafe Collage is your classic mom-and-pop gem in the heart of Venice, located right across from the iconic Venice sign. What makes it stand out is its hours -- one of the few spots that opens early and stays open late (7 AM to 7 PM), which is rare for the area. The menu is impressively large and eclectic. It's Korean-owned, so you'll find everything from teriyaki chicken bowls and bánh mì sandwiches to buttery croissants, hearty breakfast burritos, fresh juices, teas, and solid coffee. I really appreciate the variety. The clientele is just as diverse -- from locals and creatives to tourists passing through. Service is generally quick, and the vibe is super relaxed. They have free Wi-Fi, lots of natural light from the big windows, and a cozy layout that makes it great for getting some work done, reading a book, or just enjoying top-tier people-watching. It's got character, charm, and a sense of community. One of Venice's OG spots -- treat her with love, and she'll return the favor. read more

Cafe Collage - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Venice, California

Venice is my favorite location to go to when I'm feeling incredibly lonely. The reason why is because most of the folks who are there are so eccentric but they seem to have embraced themselves even though they may all seem like they're in their own little worlds. I stopped by late afternoon yesterday at this shop and ordered a lemon ginger tea to avoid late afternoon caffeine. The location of this coffeeshop is perfect for anyone who's looking for a photo opportunity because it's where the iconic Venice sign is. read more

I'm pregnant and vegetarian, so I ordered a croissant with egg and cheese and specifically asked for the eggs to be fully cooked. The person at the counter smirked, as if I was stating the obvious. When the sandwich arrived, it came with bacon, so I had to send it back. They apologized, but the replacement came out with eggs that were very runny. My husband had a bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese, and he said it was just average. Definitely not going back. read more

Cafe Collage - 2 Eggs and Cheese CroissantCroissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Venice, California

Located in the heart of Venice, Cafe Collage is within walkable distance of the beach and from many storefronts. Like anything in this area, parking poses a great challenge but there is street parking just down the way (you just need to find an open spot), unless you want to pay $20/hr. The cafe itself has a breakfast based menu with coffees, smoothies and breakfast/lunch meals. The staff are really sweet and helpful, they recommended the spicy chicken burrito (which was HUGE and very tasty). Pricing is pretty standard for Venice Beach (approx. $25/person for each to get a meal and drink). I want to emphasize that their portions are HEFTY and make the price definitely worth it. Plus inside it is quiet and a nice reprieve from the outside chaos that is venice boardwalk (cute space to people watch). Will be back again soon for the spicy chicken burrito :). read more

I ordered the collage breakfast burrito with bacon to go. I walked over to the beach to eat it but when I opened it, half the tortilla was soggy and the other half was stuck to the foil. And the eggs tasted as though they weren't real. I hope management sees this and makes some changes. Barely ate half of it... read more

Yes, wow, wow. A little pricey. But here's the story.. I wanted at first the pulled pork. But he says it's about 18 bucks which is not too bad but not too good for the moment at least necessarily. So I got a cheaper priced food being a bagel with cream cheese. Wow it was so good I had to decide to spend that extra 20 bucks. Got the tuna melt instead and almost fainted it was so good. Try this place! read more

I rarely write a review, but today I wanted to tell something about the Cafe Collage. There, this morning I ate my best breakfast burrito for years!! Yesterday I got a Cortado on my way to the beach, same, it was delicious! Kudos! Also, kind and helpful service! Remember to shop local and support small business ! Cheers, read more

Great spot for food and drinks! The people at the register are warm and welcoming. I got a latte and a bagel lox as recommended by the lady working there. It was delicious! They even had a jalapeño bagel. read more

This lil cafe in Venice Beach has a bit of everything from breakfast, sandwiches, salads, soups, asian bowls, coffee, teas, smoothies, and bobas! Came by after a walk on the beach. I ordered the bagel lox, a cream cheese bagel and an iced chai tea latte. Service was friendly. While waiting, we were given iced water. I noticed portions were large, salmon was fresh. One of my family member ordered a turkey sandwich but she got a tuna sandwich instead but they remade it. Overall, nice clean cafe with plenty of options. read more

We were told this was a "hip" place in Venice to stop for a coffee while touring around. I have to say, I was super disappointed with the experience. I had a huge group that came in, probably almost 15 people and everyone got a coffee. The woman working was very sweet, but it was the product that was the issue. I don't think there was one person in our group who said they enjoyed their coffee. And a majority got lattes- fairly simple and standard drinks yet they tasted just, off. I'm not sure what it was but I don't think I'd come here again, for coffee at least. It is located in a nice spot just a block off the beach and the Venice Skatepark, as well as Muscle Beach and such. read more

Stumbled across this place while attending an event down the street. The staff was super friendly and the service was quick! I ordered a matcha latte with oatmilk and it was delicious! There are two kiosks you can order from if lines are long. They have a ton of food options in case you're hungry! There are ~8 small tables and a couple bar type seats facing the window. I wished I lived closer so I could come more often but will definitely pay a visit whenever im.in the area. read more

Checkout lady was on her phone, so I said excuse me. She looked up without a smile. I asked if I could have a cup of water for my dog, and she said "are you a guest here? You can purchase a bottle of water if you want." I won't purchase anything here ever because of that. Disgusting behavior read more

Coffee is great, pastries are great, bagel with lox had lots of lox and was absolutely delicious. Service fast and friendly.

Excellent vegan breakfast burrito, quick and polite service. It's hard to find a great burrito this far north of San Diego and south of the Bay, but no complaints for Cafe Collage, they do alright. read more

Great food and service. Been here 5+ times and have yet to be disappointed. Do not be dissuaded by some of these ridiculous reviews. I live around the corner and come here regularly. The quality of the food and service is great, which is probably why they have been in business for 22+ years. read more

I came here in a warm sunny day because I love shaved ice dessert! I ordered the snow Bingsu black sesame red beans flavor. It was light and refreshing! The ice was a bit different than what I've had before. However, it was still pretty good. The portion size is pretty big. I thought I was gonna finish it, but I did lol! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but the service completely ruined the experience. The barista came across as condescending and dismissive, as if customers weren't worth their time. Instead of being welcoming, the attitude felt rude and elitist, which made the whole atmosphere uncomfortable. Coffee shops should feel warm and inviting -- this was the opposite. With so many great spots around, I won't be returning. read more

Stopped in after my workout at Venice. The truffle chips are OMG delicious! I had the spicy chicken burrito....babbeeee when I say the spice was just right! I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's also a huge burrito so I actually ate that for lunch and dinner. My daughter had the teriyaki chicken bowl. It had purple onions and she hated those and the steamed veggies. She likes her veggies crunchy not steamed. The Place was clean and the service was okay. read more

This was an unexpected find right underneath the Venice sign! Most places in Venice I find to be overpriced and mediocre, but this was a pleasant surprise.

The price was actually super reasonable for the area too. I'd def stop by again. read more

It definitely was a great find before taking photos in Venice. The earlier the better before big crowds come is the best. I had a little taste of home with the lox bagel. Basically lox bagel is salmon smoked. With cream cheese. It was really good! I love everything bagels. This hit the spot in the morning before walking around enjoying the beach and biking from one place to another. I also had the earl grey latte. I don't really drink tea lattes much but it was a nice perk in the morning to wake me up. Id come back again for the bagel! It was good enough to fill me up! read more
