The Sunrise Brew is a cute small coffee shop (trailer truck) on W. Channel Rd and Short st in Pacific Palisades/Santa Monica. The only coffee shop to grab coffee in the area besides the Chevron convenient store. They offer flavorful smoothies, coffee, and pastry food. I had Topanga smoothie and drip coffee. The smoothie was perfectly concocted and good for a warm beach weather and their drip coffee was flavorful and made of fresh brewed coffee beans. Staff was friendly and professional. Outdoor garden patio seating only. Atmosphere was great despite a lack of music! Prices seem fair for the area. Street parking only. Overall, it's a good cute lil coffee place. I recommend this place. read more

Ok, I love this place, I really do. But their pastries and their drinks are in different universes. They have my favorite pastry ever, the raspberry crumble bar, which changed my mind about gluten free pastries. I never liked one until this and the raspberries are the most concentrated tangy sweet raspberry flavor, I don't know how they do it. The granola crumble is the right blend and texture, and the bottom pastry is delicious. Their drinks on the other hand are hard to swallow. The blue tea one (forget the name) and the smoothie that I had I couldn't even get through. I adore the airstream, the seating space, the location, and the pastries, so I'll stick to the good stuff because I will absolutely be back. read more

Pro: location, refreshing. Grow: $9 smoothie from a truck seems like a lot. Tip: order the golden hour Conveniently located a block from the beach. Sunrise brew is perfect for breakfast or a drink. Came in on a weekend after playing volleyball and it hit the spot. It is a cool little truck located in a patio next to a taco stand (I need to try next time). They have plenty of seating and it is a laid back atmosphere. Food rundown: we tried the Venice breeze and golden hour. The golden hour was our favorite as it was a nice consistency and flavorful. The mango and turmeric combo created a vibrant color and flavor. The Venice breeze fell a little flat and was definitely not worth $9. Overall, a convenient spot to grab a drink after the beach. read more

06/27/2020 - We were coming back from a walk by the beach when my husband suggested to stop here and get a cup of coffee or a smoothie. I loved the vintage look and the outdoor seating area. We ordered one of their smoothies and I must say that the girl who work there (I'm not sure if she was the owner or an employee) had such a bad attitude. We waited a few minutes for our order and then asked her how long it would be. She said it may take a while and again was extremely unpleasant, so we just canceled our order and left. Usually I don't mind waiting but she was so rude and her attitude was bad, we felt like we are just bothering her by placing a simple order. we will take our business elsewhere. read more

Honestly pretty good which really surprised me because I had never heard of this place and drive by there all the time. The service was a bit slow but my smoothie was great and I would absolutely go back. Nice little outdoor area to sit as well and I went to the shop across from this and got an amazing baguette to take home read more

A nice coffee place near the beach. The mocha was good however it could have been hotter. I asked for almond mile ams it had regular milk (I had already driven away so I couldn't do anything about it. The oatmeal was half full. Skimpy for $7. read more

Super cute airstream bus on W. Channel Road in Santa Monica opposite the Golden Bull Restaurant before you hit the PCH. Nice for quick coffee or sandwich. They also do fresh smoothies and some other healthy options. It's a new location, and needed since they mostly only have full restaurants that serve dinner on the street so if you just wanted something small or quick for breakfast or lunch option. They are open 7am to 4pm Tuesday to Friday, 7:30pm to 4pm Sat/Sun, but closed on Mondays. They have a few chairs and umbrellas for some outside seating. Better for quick grab and go on the way to the beach. I had their avocado toast with chili flakes! Ran me about $10, single slice of toast. The avocado was fresh and good. Will be back to try one of the fresh smoothies that they have. They also have vegan and gluten free pastries and healthy options. The line was a little long and the wait when I went but that was because they only had one person doing everything. Need at least two people to manage orders and make the food etc. It was a Saturday so maybe that's why. But will be back! read more

Such a cute idea! And spot! Their menu is short and too the point. The smoothies are delicious! And the gluten free banana nut bread is a must try! It's also in walking distance of the beach. The only thing I wish there were more of... is places to sit. After waiting in line, you have to wait for a place to sit if you're wanting to stay! But overall really great experience. read more

A nice little spot for a good Verve coffee and a hummus bowl (so good that we didn't have time to take a picture!). They do use good quality products so everything is delicious and fresh. After our Sunday afternoon treat, we walked around the patio to see cool furniture, antiques, and art. I will be back soon. read more

So.... no decaf. Like, at all. No decaf espresso coffee. no decaf drip coffee. Very strange for a place that seems to be all about coffee. They seem to have focused their attention on "cuteness" but not much more. Such a bummer I was hoping to weave this place into my day. read more

Love this place!!! Excellent coffee, excellent service!!! Even days when the lube is so long , their experience on getting your order fast and with a smile always!! This is one of my stops in my morning workout and I look forward to stopping here, whether getting just coffee or something off there consistently delicious menu, Denielle and her crew always deliver with a smile!!!

Tip in advance of any purchase. Not friendly. Order a coffee and wait for 25 minutes of Bs drinks instead of taking 5 seconds to pour it even tho you awkwardly tip ahead of time. Combined with unfriendly mess. read more

All the food is so delicious, but it's by far the best avocado toast I've ever had, and I love the neighborhood vibe! We come here daily and are so happy they are in the neighborhood! Good things come to those who wait, so be patient as everything is made to order by one employee, but well worth it! read more

The coffee and smoothie were good but as far as the customer service not so much. I would have much rather had average coffee with better customer service. (At least at Starbucks the team is friendly.) The concept/theme of the place was great and the vibe it gives off is very inviting and that's why I was disappointed with the unfriendly team. Next time I am at the beach and want coffee I will give my money and time to a different local business. AC read more

Loved it. Food was great. Chai was delicious - not overly sweet which is hard to find. Everything tasted fresh. Good service. Will be back for sure. read more

First of all I can't believe anyone would give this place less than 5 stars (...but I have seen the entitlement of some of the customers so that's LA for ya) Let me start by saying I drive from the valley over an hour to go to this place. Danielle is amazing and so personable! She makes everything with top shelf ingredients and love. The environment matches the chill beach vibes of Santa Monica (she did that). The avocado toast is legendary and the shakes are bomb. Danielle is an all in one boss lady chef! read more

Locals Only smoothies is delicious! I love the vegan gluten-free banana bread too. I've tried a good portion of the menu and I've been happy with everything I've tried. The Boardwalk is a little strong on the coffee and I think it oils be better without the vegan protein, but that would be my only suggestion. read more

I've ordered smoothies and matchas from here a few times while I'm going for a walk. The smoothies have been decent, the matchas slightly bitter and powdery. The employees had been fairly nice so I came back a couple of times. It usually takes a while to get the order. The service I've experienced overall has been good but my last experience when I had ordered a couple of smoothies was awful. The owner (I think) is incredibly rude. I had ordered a smoothie for myself and one for my husband, and asked for a cup of water for my dog. She very curtly told me there are only bottles to buy and a dog water bowl next to the airstream and across the way. I told her both water bowls were unfortunately empty but she just rolled her eyes and ignored me completely/closed their screen. I wish I had cancelled our order but just ended up taking our smoothies to go. Just so surprising and unexpected how rude the service was. Not worth it at all especially with the service. read more

Lovely place!! Delicious food! Best avocado toast I've ever had!! My only complaint is the menu is quite small and it takes a while to get the food. Other than that I love the disposable plates and straws and it's super cute!! read more

Love, love, love their avocado toast, acacia bowl and coffee ice blended! They have a pink frothy drink that is amazing! Everything they serve is as delicious as it looks. They recently moved to a location on Sunset Blvd. by the PCH. read more

This is great little coffee spot in the Canyon. Very beautiful atmosphere and the coffee quality is always great! The owner is very warm and helpful person. The Avocado toast is simply the best one in the Santa Monica area and her pastries are always fresh and delicious. The bread for the Avocado toast is of the finest quality sourdough. This place is very close to the beach and you can stop here to get coffee or a smoothie. The Topanga smoothie is also very good. read more

I don't know why this place has less than 4 stars. Its expensive definitely, but the smoothies are amazing, fresh ingredients, vegetarian options, etc. if you can afford to buy from this place and eat organic whole Foods I highly recommend read more

It was the best smoothie EVER! I got the Surfrider smoothie and added blueberries...YUM! The staff was very friendly and it was also reasonably priced. A must-try! read more

Ridiculous wait times. Not enough help to serve Great concept if you have nowhere to go and nothing to do. read more

Think of this like a Parisian experience with a beach vibe. It's not always smiley-smiley. You might wait a bit for your order. But it's delicious. You get a chance to slow down, relax, and enjoy yourself. Connect with others. Window shop at the pop-up store. Or get some work done or read a book, and no one will bother you. People love the avocado toast, but I'm partial to the egg salad toast. It feeds two people. YUM. read more

Got their topanga smoothie and it gave me a really bad stomach ache. Everything in it seemed very straight forward, which makes me wonder about how fresh those smoothies are. read more

Another disappointed customer. Thought this was a lil gem but sadly, I experienced HORRIBLE SERVICE that ruined my day-- the worker bee/lady had a bad attitude. She was THE WORST. This isn't new apparently. Bummer because I was a new "regular" for a few weeks, tipping well. I've never experienced this kind of rudeness anywhere on the Westside, and I'm from LA. Perhaps she's underpaid, overworked, and slightly racist. I feel bad and have compassion for her but just a heads up. The rudeness completely caught me off guard and the cool hipster air streamer cafe -- is no longer cool! read more

Super disorganized, we were second in line but waited 15 minutes before they took our order and another 20 to get our drinks. Only two people working, they just seemed like they weren't ready for there to be a lot of people on a Saturday morning. They also weren't super friendly, didn't apologize for the wait or anything like that. Smoothies were $10 each, tasted ok but still overpriced. Wouldn't come back. read more

Poor customer service and long wait lines. Have left twice after standing at the front of the line without being greeted or helped. Other reviews suggest this is a constant problem and the owner doesn't care. read more

This is my favorite spot for coffee. I love walking to its gorgeous location on pch and west channel.It's got amazing coffee(they have oat milk!) the ladies that work there are super cute and the food is all home made. It's in a little trailer with seating outside it's wonderful! I'm addicted to this place read more

Great coffee but horrible service ! She is a one women show so you need an hour set aside if there are more than three people ahead of you in line. I have gone several times. This review is not based on one or two experiences. read more

Normally I love this place, but went there special today on Wednesday, March 4th at 2:40 and the girl working there would not take our order because she was cleaning up to close. I was so annoyed because the hours say they are open until 3:00pm. i told her not to have the hours say open until 3:00pm if you really can't place an order at 2:40pm. so disappointed!!! read more

The bowl was yummy and the service was nice. A relaxing little place. You can watch them make it while you wait.

Food is good and everything they serve is great. But clearly the owner does not look at efficiency. There is 1 woman working in the kitchen. She is clearly over worked and they need more staff. Go here if you want to wait 25 minutes for a iced matcha latte. read more
