    Loved this store! You get a small free coffee if you check in through Yelp. The coffee is actually really good and it's something I would come back to get . The parking lot is small but you can find a spot if you get there earlier in the morning. The service is very down-to-earth and the environment is very relaxed. I could spend hours there just sitting on my laptop if they had some chargers - this is probably my favorite place to get work done so far. There is a sale inside the store right now where you can get 40 to 70% off select items. The organization isn't the most intuitive but the person at the front desk can definitely help you and will walk you through what they have to offer.

    I had no idea they had coffee here. I had heard of them as a clothing store. While a lot of people were sitting with their laptops, it's actually a fun vibe. Mostly to look at their merch and the motorcycle in the middle of the room. So tried an iced vanilla latte while my sister got chai and my cousins got a coke (LOL) and a cappuccino. Prices aren't listed for the specialty drinks. While we waited for our drinks, we browsed around the store. Good quality clothing! A lot of fun things you can buy here, like stickers or sprays for stuff. Didn't look to closely at much but the clothes. Parking is kinda tricky. It's tight and there aren't enough spaces. I'm sure we could've found parking on the street.

    This is what an $7.5 oat milk cappuccino looks like. But nice place and outdoor seats and parking. Cappuccino was watery and foamy.

    $8 oat milk cappuccino. They have nice outdoor seats, parking and nice clothing. But overall, pricy and not good.

    I bought it less than two weeks ago and it's already broken. Very poor quality, I don't recommend it.

    Poor customer service, poor product quality. I tried to contact them and they didn't help. The shipping was also very long.

    $8 for THIS cappuccino is CRAZY! Trashed it unfinished as you see in the picture. What a pity, it was a beautiful spot.

    Cute little coffee shop, perfect for a quick bite, Coffee date or mid day pick-me-up. Yummy coffee selections. I enjoyed the blueberry muffins with an iced vanilla latte.

    Iced Matcha Latte with oat milk. Not good. What a horrible color.
    Mor S.

    Probably the worst matcha you can get in Venice. Not only that but it was overpriced. Will not be coming back. Please take a look at the picture of the matcha I ordered. It is all milk and no actual matcha for $8. What a ripoff for low quality matcha powder! My girlfriend ordered coffee and didn't like hers either.

    Deus Ex Machina is a place for Great coffee, awesome vibes, and a passion for motorcycles. Perfect spot to fuel up and gear up. Highly recommend!

    Nice place to grab some tasty coffee and teas. They serve food as well. A good amount of seating indoors. Plentiful seating outside as well. Staff was very friendly. I asked for a towel to wipe down a table and they were quick to do it for me. A good amount of motorcycles and a couple interesting cars on a Saturday morning. Thanks to Mr Sun for the natural warmth.

We haven't been to that store before so I called ahead to see if they had the right size. I spoke to the manager Nelly, who helped me. She was so incredibly gracious and nice that it really made an impression on me. I mentioned to my husband before we even came to the store how lucky Vuori was to have Nelly working for the shop. You could tell she clearly LOVED her job and really loved what she did. The clothing is incredible high-quality but the customer service is something that is over the top. I would recommend this store to anybody and I would recommend that the management consider Nelly for a promotion. She is doing your Brand WONDERS!! I cannot wait to return to pick up some of cutest active clothes in town. THANK YOU NELLY FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. WE WILL BE BACK!! And my husband LOVES his shirt!

    I was searching for a specific pair of pants in a hard-to-find size, so I wised up and called ahead…read moreto make sure they carried them before heading over to Venice. The nice girl over the phone said they showed one pair, but wanted to physically check inventory to confirm. They did have them, and she set them aside for the day. Vuori is located on the first shopping block on Abbot Kinney (if you're coming from Main St). Upon entering, it's easy to find the counter towards the back of the store, and I was greeted by the blonde girl working. Letting her know an item was on hold, she directed me over to the fitting room. I saw two doors open but one had clothing in it, but another employee offered assistance, letting me in the other open room. I wanted to make sure the fit was proper, so I walked on out and the same employee was there to help. She was very informative, and said the fit depended on how you wanted the length to be, if you wanted them low or higher on the hips, etc. I knew I had made the right choice. Even though I had planned on wearing these primarily on flights, I have a feeling they'll be sneaking into my weekly wardrobe. Same girl rang me up, and this was a seamless transaction. She also sent me an offer code via email so I was able to save on my next purchase (which I already used on another pair of joggers). The name 'Shawn S' was on the bottom of the receipt, and I was here back in later March on a Monday. I'm starting to check out Vuori's site more now, and I'm happy my experiences with the company have improved immensely.

All the shirts I tried on felt like some kind of technical cashmere, and more importantly, made me look sexy, like when Shrek's donkey drank that magical elixir and became a sexy stallion. Never thought athletic streetwear could look so sleek. Nike could learn a few things from this place. I believe this brand is from Australia, and what ever they're doing down under is on the up and up. Love the brand theme of #respectyouruniverse. Oh, can't forget a shout out to their super sleek backpacks. They're almost futuristic, but all kinds of practical. You have to check out their one-strap small backpack.... something even Boba Fett would sport in an instant (even has room for 2 lightsabers and a blaster too!).

I love how they have a comfy couch and aromatherapy for others to relax while you shop, this is the only store right now in the US other then the NYC store. It's a Canadian brand which you know means fair labor wages and high quality!!

    DO NOT BUY CUSTOM LEATHER JACKETS HERE…read more These guys have no idea what they are doing when it comes to measurements and tailoring and have terrible customer service to top it off. I wasted $1,600 on a leather jacket that's 10" too big for me and they won't exchange it or give me my money back. I stopped into the store one day, and a woman named Mary extolled the many benefits of a custom tailored leather jacket, mainly the specifics of how well it would fit. I bought one, and she took my measurements for it at the store. Nearly six months later it arrived and was WAY too big (see photo #1). We arranged for a return and she asked me for my correct waist size. I told her (and this is in writing via email exchange "I wear a size 32" jeans") and she assured me that would be enough for the correct jacket to be sent. Another nearly six months go by, and the new jacket arrives. And low and behold, it is again way off in the waist. I measured the waist (see photo 2) and it corresponds to a size 44" jeans. And now the store is accusing me of having worn the jacket and refusing to process my return, sent the jacket back to me, and refuses to answer my calls or emails. I spent a year dealing with these clowns. They are negligent and have no clue what they are doing. They got the measurements wrong not once, but twice in row! And now because they don't want to have to pay for the jacket (presumably the manufacturer is not to blame so they would be stuck with the bill) they are looking for loopholes in their return policy to stick me with the bill despite the fact that this is clearly their fault. DO NOT BUY THINGS FROM THIS STORE - THEY HAVE TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THEY ARE DOING

However, a young man with curly hair at the checkout was engrossed in a conversation with two others about their classes, particularly focusing on queer culture. They discussed one of them working in retail and facing rude customers who refuse to leave tips after purchases. Regrettably, the clerk continued to disregard me, and despite my efforts to get his attention, I received no recognition whatsoever. I felt entirely invisible. I proceeded to the fitting room to try on a different size, but once again, there was no help available. Afterward, I went out to find a different size by myself. Eventually, when I thought I could finally get his attention since it was evident I wanted to check out, he began speaking to me. He casually complimented my hair color, but I was there to purchase shirts, not to engage in idle chatter. I couldn't help but reflect on the decline of customer service. It seems like there are many young people today who prioritize chatting over assisting, and focus on tips and queer discussions when immediate help is needed. After this experience, I have decided not to return to this store. I am weary of encountering these types of young people.

When I reviewed the menu online the menu they offered or should I say had listed had a very wide array of different options to choose from. I was really excited to surprise him here. As we entered there was no staff around so we were just standing there for a while and a line began to form, the restaurant was not busy at all, but the bar was almost full. We were seated and our waiter was the most impersonal waiter ever, he never even said his name, to us. It was like he was a robot. Again to see that the menu was not the same was disappointing, yet our appetizer came out super fast and over all the food was bland and nothing special for the price point, yet it did come out hot, which was a plus. I had asked for the server to sing him happy birthday and for a desert to be brought out and I picked out the desert to add to the bill and he said that he could not do that service, yet before leaving 2 other servers were bringing out deserts and singing happy birthday to 2 other tables. The view was pretty, I'm sure this place is beautiful and wonderful for brunch, but for dinner this is not a place to be for elevated dining. I was better off taking him to SALT for a better dining and food experience.
