Strawberry Macha! I keep trying them and by no means an expert but I like the touch of sweetness. 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. read more

Was in the area and looking for a spot to hang out for a bit when I came across Dayglow! I've been to 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. read more

Good coffee. If you guys are going to charge so much - which is fine I get it- you're on rose- at least serve bigger cups- and maybe lids? this is offensively small even for the area. I ordered a honey almond flat white. This is boutique. If you need caffeine go elsewhere- this is for the coffee elitists. read more

Dayglow - Honey almond flat white - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My friend said "this is the best coffee spot in Venice." This place brings almost a trendy mixology approach to coffee drinks. I think you could probably go there every day for a week and not repeat drinks. I ordered the Moonrise Kingdom and it was delicious. I don't think I ever had a drink with a toasted marshmallow in it before! I found the staff was very friendly and helpful. They definitely have an expertise of making the drinks just so. I would return if in the area! read more

I was thrilled when I learned Dayglow finally opened a location near the beach. It's one of very few coffee shops offering a variety of specialty drinks that keep the menu exciting and keep me retuning. I've tried the Military latte at the WeHo location and loved it, but my favorite right now is The Warhol - a smooth, upbeat espresso with citrus, vanilla and cinnamon, garnished with cinnamon dust and an orange peel. I hope this one stays on the menu for a while. The Moonrise Kingdom is a fun espresso made with maple, vanilla, and applewood smoked salt, topped with a torched marshmallow, not too sweet and perfect for a stroll along Rose. The shop is bright with an orange background you can't miss driving by. Another bonus is Dayglow stays open until 7PM, ideal for late evening coffee lovers like myself. Find parking along Rose and on side streets. read more

Dayglow - "The Warhol", Yesss!!! - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

GO TO THE ONE IN WeHo! Cute aesthetic and It was easy to find parking! I wanted to love it! Sadly it was more of a pass for me. I did not like that they only had one menu so you had to be at the register to see what they had. It made the line get really long because people didn't know what they wanted by the time they got to the cashier. I also can acknowledge that service work is tough, at the same time I agree with the other reviews saying that the employees seemed annoyed to be there. Every question like "where are the straws" (which were hiding behind a big group of people) was a major inconvenience to them. My 3 friends and I left feeling judged and agreed we'd only go to the one in West Hollywood from now on (they are so so kind there I would recommend that one!!!). Drinks here were fine, but definitely better in WeHo. read more

Dayglow is that hot new "baddie" at the gym everyone's suddenly talking about. I've been hunting for a new caffeine chamber in the area, and I'm so glad I finally walked into this one. My first order was their infamous Military Latte--a wild mix of espresso, matcha, bourbon vanilla, and a dusting of cocoa. Honestly? It's one of the boldest and prettiest caffeine cocktails I've ever had. The best way I can describe it: like going on a date with a feminine, purple-haired exotic dancer rocking military boots and a jock strap--unexpected, unforgettable, and ridiculously hot. The taste? Bold. Unique. Addictive. Such a turn on. I can't wait to try everything else. On my knees. read more

Dayglow - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stopped by to check this place out for the first time. The shop itself looked nice, bright, and welcoming, but unfortunately the customer service experience wasn't great. While the staff was present, the interaction felt dismissive and unhelpful, and we didn't feel encouraged or supported in choosing a drink. After trying to figure out an order and not getting much guidance, my wife and I decided to leave and check out one of the many other coffee options nearby instead. Because of that, my rating is based solely on the customer service experience--we didn't end up trying the coffee. Disappointing first impression, especially given how many great coffee spots are in the area. read more

Dayglow had the worst service of any cafe I've ever visited. Dahlia had a terrible attitude, was openly hostile toward us, and made my girlfriend and me feel extremely unwelcome and uncomfortable throughout our entire experience. From the moment we walked in, it felt like she treated us as if we were an inconvenience simply for being there. Additionally, I ordered what I believe was called the Morning Glory seasonal drink. While I was waiting, the woman who ordered behind us pointed to the orange-colored juice going into the drink and said, "Oh, what's that? It's so pretty." The man making it replied, "It's a massive sugar bomb. I wouldn't drink it." Even if that's his personal opinion, it's not a professional thing to say about a drink on your own menu. Unfortunately, he wasn't wrong. When they handed me the drink, there was no taste of coffee whatsoever. It was so overwhelmingly sweet that it was undrinkable and one of the most unpleasant "coffee" drinks I've ever had. I returned it and asked if I could instead have the basic espresso tonic. Once again, I felt incredibly uncomfortable interacting with Dahlia, as though a simple customer request was being treated as a major inconvenience. I walked into the cafe in a great mood. Coffee should feel like a special treat and a mood booster. Instead, we left feeling worse than when we arrived because the service was so poor. My girlfriend and I had only been to Dayglow once before, and the service that time was also unfriendly and unkind, so this doesn't seem like an isolated incident. On a Saturday morning, the cafe was also nearly empty, which made us wonder if others have had similar experiences. As we walked out, my girlfriend jokingly said, "Maybe the owner only hires unfriendly people so no one feels comfortable staying, and it maintains the cafe's aesthetic." She was obviously being facetious, but after our experience, it was hard not to wonder. All in all, there are so many fantastic coffee options in the Venice and Santa Monica area that there is absolutely no reason to visit Dayglow. I highly recommend going somewhere else. read more

Coming here as my matcha-fan friend has been bragging about Dayglow's drinks being awesome. Despite I really loved Larchmont and have been knowing they have an outlet there, it's quite a drive away so highly excited knowing they now expanded their footprint into Venice! Rose was one of my favorite spots in town, where all the nice cafes and restos sitting at the same array and the neighborhood was just pleasing to walk around. Occupying a corner space made Dayglow a great place to just sit and spend time people-watching. The venue's setup even seemed to enable it with semi-open space and plenty of window seating. Their drink menus were 'adventurous' to go through, not only that the mind behind it was creative in naming, but also it featured fun mixes of ingredients, giving the feeling that each drink was just standout and uncommon. All baristas were super friendly and fun, convincing me straight away that my initial visit would certainly be not the only one, even before I sipped my drink. With richer menu sometimes got tricky and caused more dilemma than helping you being decisive, the knowledgeable baristas certainly turned helpful there as they would ask for your preference and gave you recommended options. Being torn between trying their coffee or their matcha since both seemed highly-recommended, I scored two wins by going for their Military Latte, which was basically their version of Dirty Matcha or Matcha with Espresso shot. First sip and LOVESTRUCK! Strong coffee and quality matcha made the power couple there, sweetened by their bourbon vanilla syrup. They should forgive me for just giving a chance and paying a visit, after so long being kinda skeptical that it's just 'selling aesthetic gorgeous' space. Price wise it might sit at the higher end, but I would say doubtlessly worthy. read more

Parking: Plenty of street parking, we personally parked in a parking structure through an app. I didn't know this was a chain until I yelped it to do this review. I ordered the Totoro and it was delicious. I'm not really big into coffee, but I can say that this was my favorite from everything that I've had. Took a sip of the einspanner and Alyssa lynch and I enjoyed the matcha a lot. It's not the best matcha ever but it was good enough to not assault me. I don't like matcha. The real star was the Totoro. I don't think I've ever had a coffee that tasted that good. The sesame and cream balanced the drink out perfectly and the presentation was perfect. I loved this drink. Location is an open space that has great wind and air flow. Natural cooling and great view in a nice area. Space is well balanced and seating is minimal but plenty for the size. Service is as expected, nothing bad and nothing over the top. read more

Alright, I've been here 5 times in 24 hours so I feel qualified to leave a review of this spot so far. I love coffee - especially coffee cocktails and pour overs - and I'm happy to say that Dayglow delivers on both fronts. Huge variety of beans from various roasters and regions, creatively mixed drinks and an obvious attention to detail make this place the best new option for coffee lovers in the neighborhood. Admittedly, my first visit at 8AM opening day was a little slow, but I don't think they were expecting the immediate crowd. Every visit since has been smooth, fast and delicious. Excited this spot is here. RIP my coffee budget. read more

The last few times I've been there they have been out of multiple drinks/ingredients, which you don't find out until you wait in the slow line. Also recently, something was off with three out of three drinks ordered. Ended up trashing them which I have never done before (anywhere). I think I'm over this spot. Was cool when it was new. read more

While looking for St Maxime, accidentally landed at the opening day today of Dayglow in Venice. It was busy and chaotic, with equipment malfunctioning that stopped all hot coffee, pour over coffee running out, things not working. None of that mattered as the staff kept their cool, and kept chugging along. Johnny made me a delicious anaerobic pour over, dayglows own F10. It took 20 minutes but was worth it. The kid wanted hot chocolate but they weren't setup for that yet. So she ended up getting a flaky fresh chocolate croissant with enough chocolate to make a 3 year old happy. Lots of dogs. The location has a lot to natural sunlight and plenty of spots to enjoy a cup of coffee. It's surprisingly kid friendly, despite not having kid drinks yet. The decor is minimal. The coffee is highly curated and represents the best of the best: from Fritz in South Korea to Swerl from Sweden. Considering there are so few super high quality artisanal coffee places in the west side, dayglow venice saves you the trouble of going to north east LA for world class coffee. This is in the same league as the always excellent Kumquat, ondo, endorfeinne. We will be back to try other pour overs. Tip: Plenty of street parking on Rose. Tip: Once Awan opens up next door, try some excellent ice cream and coffee together read more

Thrilled to try Dayglow after many recommendations and it did not disappoint! I tried the Totoro which was so good, black sesame, activated charcoal and coconut foam on top. A bit pricey at $8 for a small but thoughtfully made, and unique, can't wait to come back and try the other drinks. Also free street parking was easy in the neighborhood and they have wifi and many seats! Thank you Dayglow for a perfect drink and fresh air to help me have a productive working session. read more

Dayglow - Totoro (small) - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Well, yeah it is kinda dirty which is weird since it seems like it would be immaculate, and the coffee is really not good. I'm an espresso drinker and it's sadly, never, ever been good. It's super under extracted. No flavor, just a nasty sour weird mouth feel. Staff is super unfriendly, like to the point I don't even know if they want to hear my order, don't know if they work there, if they're still even open when it's clearly open but just feel so awkward I totally consider turning right around and leaving lol. But pretty awful tbh, which is sad because a good coffee shop could be here. Honestly just make good coffee first... I'd be down to deal with bitchy baristas, just seriously want good coffee in a clean space. 1 star cuz cute lookin from across the street read more

I don't live in the area but I enjoyed Dayglow so much I came twice in the matter of a few days. Although they have standard espresso-based drinks on the menu, their specialty drinks menu is extensive, and features drinks like the matcha einspanner, and the military latte (a mixture of 1 shot of espresso, cacao, and matcha). The first time we came was around 9 am on a Saturday morning, the place was busy with a short line and people enjoying their coffees inside. It took a little while to get through the line as the baristas were engaging with each customer and telling them about the menu. The first time I came, I had the military latte which was honestly a bit too strong. I was doubtful about the combination of coffee, matcha and cacao but it worked, however I probably wouldn't get this again as I felt wired for the rest of the day. I came again the same week and got the matcha einspanner. They were able to make the foam vegan with coconut cream. The matcha wasn't bad but it wasn't as strong as I would've liked. The service here has always been unhurried and friendly. Ambiance here is bright and airy. I'm glad to see this addition to Venice and will look forward to returning. read more

Big fan of Dayglow! The coffee is exquisite, and this particular location has great seating to people-watch, take in the nice weather, or chill with your pup and read a good book. My cortado was made by Brandon and was perfect. He pulled a fantastic shot. So much so that I grabbed an espresso and cold brew to go. He also recommended a seasonal drink that I had to try and was not disappointed. Great and knowledgeable staff! read more

Decided to try this place since we were in the area. The inside looks very dreamy and aesthetically pleasing. I ended up ordering an Iced Warhol 2.0 which was described to have a unique flavor mixture of coconut, espresso, spices, vanilla, and citrus. This drink was so unique and had nutty notes as well as that aftertaste of citrus which I really enjoyed. This might be my new favorite spot! read more

Leaving this review so management pays attention. I used to really like this place when it first opened but will probably never go back. Your employees here dont want to work here. They dont care about the customers and just wanna chitchat with coworkers. The employee at the counter was like "im busy" when there was virtually no line and he was making one drink. Wow Space is dirty Countertop needs to be wiped and clothes washed read more

I really wanted to love this spot as you can tell they put a lot of thought into the design of the space (and the folks crafting the drinks were really nice), but it just did not hit for me. The latte was super week and tasted like a cup of warm milk. Perhaps I will give them one more try and order a cappuccino for more concentrated flavor, but overall I was not impressed with the beverage aspect of Dayglow. Sorry! read more

I feel bad for the owners because they clearly still did not recognise that the problem in their business is- the service. Specifically the girl with dark hair who works there and has a very bad attitude. She looks like she is upset you are there. I came two days in a row, hoping she was having a bad day- but she had even worse attitude the next day. When I asked her if she was okay and why she was being rude, she told me to leave and that she doesn't want my money there. Very unprofessional and unfortunate that the owners are losing so many customers because of someone like her. It seems like many people feel unwelcome in this new spot. Someone needs to teach her manners. read more

Never leave reviews. Felt led to with the last experience. Amazing coffee. Arguably best in West LA. Every time it's a comically long wait time. I read half of the Quran by the time I got two iced Warhols. Also, ole dude at counter is dismissive and aloof. read more

Aaaaaaaamazing coffee. Wish I lived closer. Would probably come back every day. Seriously amazing.

I love this place! I live around the corner and have been here multiple times since it's opened. My favorite so far is the Totoro, a black sesame latte. I've also tried the Ponyo (nice iced strawberry, coconut, coffee concoction), Warhol, Warhol 2.0, and French dispatch. I would recommend them all. They are on the sweeter side so maybe if you don't like sweet stuff these aren't for you. I wasn't super impressed by their strawberry matcha or the military latte (matcha+espresso). I usually love strawberry matcha but idk something was off. The shop itself is cute and airy. Huge windows, lots of natural light. The windows/doors are open so it can be a little chilly if it's windy. They have a few tables, WiFi, outlets (at least on one of the tables). If you come here on the weekend expect a line, otherwise during the weekdays I've never had to wait long. One thing I think they could improve is to have multiple menus- there's only one menu at the register. So it's a bottleneck on service bc people can't look at the menu ahead of time to decide what they want, and some people take forever. Customer service is great though and the staff make it an experience walking patrons through the menu, which is nice, but also time consuming. Overall, it's definitely one of my favorite new spots and I plan on coming back here a lot! read more

Pulled up for the Cha Cha (their glow-up of a Spanish Latte) and let me tell you--the presentation was givinggggg. AC was AC-ing (a rare blessing in LA), staff is always friendly and down to make drink recs, and the whole spot has that local neighborhood vibe that makes Rose Ave what it is. Bonus temptation: Awan ice cream literally next door. Good WiFi too, so you can actually knock out work while sipping. 10/10 would "Cha Cha" again. read more

not sure if we went to the same place bc their drinks are bad lol. i got the alyssa lynch and it tasted like strawberry water. barely any matcha taste and 85% of the cup was just milk. friend had the totoro and it was ok, but tasted more like red bean than black sesame somehow? and the prices are insane. $10 for a matcha latte???? pls do not piss me off ambiance is nice but the service is also lacking, they were having side convos while ppl were ordering and held up the line. weren't very helpful when asking for recs either. will not be coming back to say the least read more

So thrilled to have Dayglow in Venice! The staff here are so friendly and helpful! The open air atmosphere with seats and the orange/peach vibes are amazing!

This was a $9 oat milk latte with cold foam on top. The cold foam was complete liquid. I didn't have it in me to argue as the guy clearly saw it was not how it normally is and continued to serve it. Oddly enough while making my drink the 2 ppl working were talking about how the espresso they just served another customer "tastes like gasoline" in front of me! really rude people working here! I should have asked for a refund the drink was undrinkable. Never would I go back. read more

Dayglow - Rotten liquid cold foam in an oat milk latte $9 plus tip - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Good service and nice people and a beautiful spot but this isn't a coffee joint; it's a novelty coffee joint. First off, the drink was tepid at best. Then, the glass it was served in had a heavy foot and looked larger than it actually was. It was essentially two shot of mixed coffee and milk. For the record, it was the Warhol. They call themselves a roaster and maybe they do. But if you want coffee, go somewhere else. read more

I was so excited when day glow open since Venice needed a fun Matcha/coffee shop. Their strawberry Matcha is superior, but every drink is created uniquely. The staff is so nice every time I go, but they were extra sweet when I literally spilled my drink right when I got it. read more

While the coffee is good, the service by some of the staff ( young female) was not up to standard. I don't expect overly friendly but when you ask a question, ( do you have any napkins) for example, it should not be met with a dismissive and rude attitude! This same staff member was asked by another member of our party ( for a lid) and was met with more of the same snotty attitude . Not ok read more

Wow just found out about Dayglow Venice coffee. I'm a big time coffee aficionado, so it is very difficult to impress me, but Dayglow coffee just did that!!

Great coffee and great people! I got a lavender oat milk latte and best I've had in a while. And the ambiance is chill.

I am a local and we are happy to have Dayglow in the neighborhood. Place is great. Awesome drinks and chill vibe. They could really benefit from another register to limit wait times in line. Good problem to have with high customer volume but might improve experience to have more efficient system. read more

Literally the single best coffee I've ever had from a shop. Also the best service and knowledgeable staff I have ever interacted with. The shop itself is a nice little atmosphere that has a couple tables and a modern counter where you order. The coffee is amazing. I ordered a warhol 2.0 and it was so incredibly good. I even ordered an extra espresso shot just so I could try the espresso alone and it was amazing. You could tell that quality and care goes into the process from brewing the coffee to the ingredients of the creations. If I lived close to Dayglow, I would go bankrupt. read more

This review is for the matcha. I would give it 0 stars if I could. The 2 stars is only because the guy who was working there was nice but I got the Matcha Einspanner and it was the worst matcha I've ever had. Definitely not ceremonial grade. It tasted like milky chalk and the cream top was watery and disgusting. Maybe their coffee is better but I'm not going to risk coming here again to find out. read more
