There are actually not that many places to enjoy a coffee, while watching the waves and this place has it all! Great coffee, great service, great crown, all while getting peek-a-boo views of the Pacific. This will for sure be my go-to coffee stop, when I come to Santa Monica. Far enough away from the madness, but close enough to be in the center of everything in 5 minutes. Well done, Rusti! read more

Very good service they have a great selection of coffees,teas, and smoothies. It has a very chill vibe especially being so close to the beach. They have plenty of seating so you can sit and enjoy your drink and food. I got a white mocha which was perfectly balanced along with it I got a maple scone and wow, delicious. Highly recommend this coffee location read more

Rusti Coffee is a little trailer coffee shop on West Channel rd in Santa Monica. They have a a good selection of coffee, tea and smoothies. Moreover, they serve basic breakfast. Outdoor seats are limited. They are popular amongst locals because they provide good service, drinks and breakfast. Staff were competent and affable. Plenty of street parking. Atmosphere was relaxing. Prices were modesty and competitive. I enjoyed their Avocado Toasts and Iced Coffee. Overall, I truly enjoyed their service and food/drink. read more

came here right before some beach time and really enjoyed the lavender latte and the almond croissant was yummy

This is a quiet cafe tucked away inside of tiny shopping center. I'm pretty sure it used to be a parking lot. I think the best part was the quiet atmosphere. The oat milk latte I order was very good (but it didn't blow me away). The lady who took my order was pleasant. No complaints. If you happened to be in the area and need quiet time with a cup of coffee, this is a good place. read more

I've been driving past Rusti Coffee for months and finally decided to stop in and I'm glad I did! I ordered a matcha latte and an avocado toast for my colleague. While the matcha latte was just okay, nothing particularly memorable, the avocado toast was a total hit. My colleague said it was hands down the best avocado toast she's ever had and she liked it so much, she went back a couple of days later just to get it again. If you're in the area, definitely swing by for the avocado toast it's worth it! read more

Wow I tried their gluten free bar and their chai latte and was sooooo impressed! Idk why it's been hard to find solid gluten free and vegan drinks and snacks these days that are bomb but this spot was it!! No wait and everything came out so fast. Service was great and it was a cute vibe, walking distance from Will Rogers. Enough street parking too! read more

At Will Rogers Beach watching club beach volleyball, and needed some coffee. Stumbled upon this gem! Coffee and pastries are amazing! If you come early and happen to score their scones, you won't be disappointed. Scones are very flavorful, moist, and simply delicious you need to have more than one. We had the Orange and maple scones! We also tried their Spanish, white mocha lattes. They have alternate milks as well. The staff were so helpful and friendly, and our orders came out quick. They work out of an old Airstream RV, very cool! They have table seating on the side with umbrella shades. Pet friendly too! Come grab a bite and some coffee next time you're in the area! Happy Nom Nom! read more

Rustic Coffee is a hidden airstream-like gem on W Channel Road in the Pacific Palisades part of Santa Monica. If you want to try coffee by the beach, this is a great spot to hit on your way. They have some seats and tables available in the courtyard, alongside a few other vendors. The staff is extremely welcoming and friendly, and has a genuine warmth to them that makes you want to return. We went with the iced oat latte and hot mocha. For non-dairy options they have both oat and almond milk. My only wish would be that they'd also work with a local specialty coffee roaster that fits their local Los Angeles vibe. They have a large selection of beverages, including smoothies that I'll definitely be trying on my next visit. read more

Almost missed this amazing out-of-the-way place...and would have missed a wonderful, delicious and peaceful experience! There was almost no wait. When my latte arrived (perfect, hot and delicious!) the server could not have been more patient, pleasant and helpful. Charlize was a joy to meet! She obviously loves her work and could not have been more proficient and welcoming. I look forward to working my way through the menu! Thank you for having such a beautiful place to enjoy a great meal with amazing service. read more

My boyfriend and I loved this place. Definitely returning. We ordered an Americano with two pumps of vanilla and a half sweet Spanish latte. Both drinks were so delicious. They use great coffee. For breakfast we shared the chicken salad toast and the ham and egg croissant. The chicken salad toast was very tasty. I would order it again! The croissant was surprisingly not too messy and it had an interesting touch of the hard boiled instead of scrambled eggs inside. Not bad. Service was great read more

I don't usually write reviews, but after two rude encounters with staff here, I felt compelled. I just moved to Topanga and was excited to find a cute local coffee stop on my way to work. Unfortunately, the young staff working here are consistently rude. On my first visit, one heavy-set young girl was extremely unpleasant. She aggressively told me I couldn't park where I had, then immediately followed it up with, "We're not open anyway, the power's out." I can't stress enough how unnecessarily rude and unprofessional her tone was. On yet another visit, when my order was made incorrectly and I politely mentioned that my drink was supposed to be iced, a different staff member became visibly annoyed and scolded me--as if it were my fault her coworker wrote it wrong on the cup. The young staff here need to learn how to speak to customers with professionalism and kindness. Starting my mornings with rude interactions over a simple cup of coffee is not how I want to begin my day, and I won't be making this my daily stop anymore. read more

I came for a macchiato, which didn't impress me especially. A few hours later, I returned to see how this place would do on the food end. I ordered a ham and cheddar sandwich, which turned out to be the single most delicious thing that I ate during a three-day stay in the Santa Monica canyon. I like Rusti and would come back again for further coffee explorations. After all, no one is perfect! This coffee-shop-in-a-trailer business reminded me immediately of Highwire Coffee in Albany, CA https://www.yelp.com/biz/highwire-coffee-roasters-albany . I guess that this is a thing. It's a good thing too: what else are you going to do with that old trailer? read more

Tara and her team were stellar in providing quality, quantity and good healthy choices for our planning event. Her food and beverage options were amazing!

Good quality smoothies but a tiny bit on the expensive side for the size. Their automatic tip options are also set extremely high (20, 25 or 30%) which was off-putting. The service was pleasant and fast though. Good variety of food and drink on the menu. No bathrooms but lots of outdoor cafe style tables. Nearly everyone sitting in the courtyard had a dog with them. Closes earlyish in the afternoon. Street parking only. read more

My boyfriend and I found this little gem on Yelp after going to a hike and lunch in the area. What a find! He had the flat white, while I had an almond milk latte. They only have one size. He paid about $13 for both (with tip). Even though they weren't very large, they were both fantastic! He and I are both coffee lovers and were impressed by how delicious our drinks were at this little find. It's tucked away in a little food truck and seems inconspicuous, but it's definitely worth the visit. The woman who took our order was friendly. It's in a clean area. Stop by! You won't regret it! read more

I will never go to Starbucks again! Or Caffe Luxxe, or Alfred, or Estate. If one were to dream up the perfect al fresco café set in a tiny southern California village steps from the beach, this would be it. I feel almost inspired to sit there and finally write my novel! Tucked behind a hedge on Channel Road, just steps from a tunnel under PCH that takes you right to the beach, Rustic Coffee serves up bespoke coffee drinks, sandwiches, baked goods and toast from the cutest shiny airstream, appointed with seasonal greenery. I ordered a simple latte which the lovely barista, dressed in a beautiful burgundy, seasonally inspired dress, served me nice and hot with a beautiful heart worked into the foam. When i inquired about the source of the delicious milk, she was bashful but disclosed it was simply Kirkland organic. No snobbishness or pretenses. At noon on a Monday the dining patio was uncrowded. The coffee shop shares the space with a little grocer that appears to sell mostly wine and cheese, a tiny little jeans boutique and a floral purveyor selling Christmas trees and holiday arrangements. I can't wait to go back! A beautiful spot to have a leisurely bite after a beach walk. A hidden gem! read more

Rude barista. I asked about bathrooms (there are none). She flatly said "there's a gas station a block away or the beach" Didn't tell me which way to go or anything. I went the only way that seemed to make sense. Made it all the way to the beach and saw zero gas stations or bathrooms. Wont be back read more

Ok so I found my new favorite coffee shop and am wishing I lived by the beach so I could come here every week. I found this spot right here on Yelp and it did not disappoint! Firstly, the people who work there are the kindest. Felt very much like a spot that got regulars, they seemed to know a lot of the customers. The Spanish coffee was crazy good. I also got the chicken salad bowl for later (I'll be honest I haven't eaten it yet but DAMN it looks good...). The ambience was amazing as well! Lots of places to sit and you take two steps out the entrance and are right at the beach. If I had a little more time I would've loved to eat my croissant in their sitting area and then go walk along the beach with my coffee. Overall, couldn't recommend this place enough and will definitely be back! read more

Stopped yo get a coffee was tasty. Walked the beach and came back for egg salad toast. It was delicious! Highly recommend this little gem.

Talk about a hidden gem! The Spanish latte I had was incredibly (I got it iced with no whip cream). And it came out 1 second after I ordered it. It's also in a super cute little area with a taco spot and specialty grocery store nearby. Didn't get food this time but definitely will next time. read more

delicious breakfast sandwiches and fabulous stumptown coffee! best place to go before heading for the beach.

Love this place. Great food and drinks. Friendly staff. Nice ambience! We can walk from our house. My kids love it too.

Adorable local hang out or when you're at beach nearby and best one of the best avocado toast anywhere. Wish it would stay open a bit later on weekends But I kinda don't want people to know about this place LOL read more

This review is more about the atmosphere of the space. The trailer is usually great. I Just walked in with my son and within seconds got screamed at how kids "need to know their place" and they "aren't important." I was just trying to get my son a smoothie. Another mom said "why are you yelling at her she wasn't even here" he kept saying he didn't care. Was shocked to learn he was the owner of the space canyon square, think his name is Frank. A huge group of people left. He was so unbelievably rude read more
