    Great place, I loved the pictures of people's dogs! I got the Havana latte and it was decent. Overall, pretty decent.

    Knocked off a star because it was hard to get anyone's attention at the mobile pick up section. An employee was stuck scrolling on her phone, so I went up to the cashier instead to pick up. Anyways, ordered a gluten free lox bagel. They didnt have the bagel and offered me gluten free ciabatta instead. I tried this and it was really good, the ciabatta was too good to be true to be gluten free.

    Stopped by here for a quick coffee and ended up getting a pumpkin latte -- it was pretty good! Nice flavor and really comforting to sip on the go. The coffee spot has a great patio vibe with music and plenty of space to hang out. Really chill, dope spot overall! Parking: Street parking available nearby.

    Busy coffee shop on Main St in Santa Monica! Great lattes, quick service, and excellent staff! Pro Tip: patio seating outside to enjoy shade and a latte!

    Walking distance to beach

    I don't usually get obsessed with a new coffee spot...wait who am I kidding yes I do! The salty dog coffee at Dogtown is my current fav. This is the 3rd time getting it this week. Love the beachy ambiance. Grab a coffee and go take a beach walk, instant mood booster!

    Organic Matcha Latte

    I've walked by this place many times. It has a cute vibe and the server was nice, but I ordered a matcha and it was definitely made with cooking grade matcha (tan/brown color), wasn't whisked at all (clumps) and made using low quality almond milk (the milk is not the worst, but it just didn't help the drink). I was bummed because it was $8 and probably the worst matcha I've ever been served. I hope everything else is really good -- I haven't tried their food so maybe try for yourself. Just do not get the matcha. People are nice and it's a lowkey spot. Bummed it wasn't a good drink.

    Dog friendly, the staff is nice, beautiful views and walking distance to the beach. It's mostly meter parking.

    Been 4-5 years since I've eaten here (since I moved out of Santa Monica) and a lot has changed but also stayed the same. Enjoyed a Munchie's burrito and dark brew coffee. Munchie's burrito has evolved. Still good filling with avo and chipotle mayo. I like the ratio of eggs and meat. Taters are not as crispy as they should be and get lost in the burrito but so what. Coffee as always is the best. I'll still come back again. Also, nice seating areas in the patio and wider selection of drinks and food.

    Dog friendly

    This place is really great! On weekends they have live music 11-1 and they have a lot of seating outside. Some of it is covered by a tent. The staff members are friendly and the coffee is good. Strong espresso and good draft coffee. They are also obviously dog friendly.

    I wish I could give zero stars. It was my first time here. I came to get a matcha one afternoon and it tasted disgusting. Pure water, was not even mixed in correctly. Did not taste like matcha. I went back inside as soon as I took a sip to ask for a refund or maybe to trade it for another drink instead, and they said the best they could do to make up for it was for me to purchase another drink and get 50% off that drink. Terrible customer service. Could not afford to refund me $6. I would've been fine if the customer service made up for the drink.

    Some poor vegan has my burrito.

    This place is the WORST. I've given it so many tries. Something always goes wrong. I ordered a burrito and got some vegan wrap instead but didn't know until I got home -- 15 miles away. Last time I was there a woman behind the counter refused to make me a new coffee because I said it was cold. "No," she said, simply.

    Gorgeous, new outdoor patio...waking up Santa Monica

    Love this local, neighborhood coffee shop that has also expanded its delicious food menu for breakfast, brunch and lunch. The recently added a delicious middle eastern delicacy, Shakshouka, which is so yummy! I love the service - Jordan is A+! I love the dog friendly vibe with dog treats and water bowls inside and out. The outdoor patio seating is fantastic, and they have live music during weekend brunch times. Check in with Yelp and get 10% off! Amazing!

    Salty Dog + Peppermint Mocha Latte

    The salty dog drink is DELICIOUS. The shops is such a cute coastal vibe, and they even have a back patio where they had live music playing! Also loved all the pics of dogs near the front (:

The gorgeous turquoise mugs certainly make the coffee more appealing than it actually is. While our drinks were good, they weren't great. The cappucinos, lattes, chai and matchas were prepared well, but the quality of the ingredients didn't quite hit the mark. The gelatos particularly were not good and next time I would suggest ordering their drinks over the gelatos. The French toast donut we ordered was fresh, fluffy and perhaps the best of all our orders. Five stars for service. On a very busy holiday Monday, only two staff members were managing a long line of customers near the end of what I could only assume to be a very long and busy day. Despite appearing overwhelmed, they remained patient, professional and attentive..... and didn't make a single mistake with our orders. Their effort truly stood out and elevated the experience.
