    Metal Chairs / stools

    Metered street parking, breakfast bagel options were great. I got the mikes bagel (2 fried eggs bacon and cheese) but switched the cheddar cheese to have cream cheese instead. The bagel was soft and yummy. I also got the vanilla bean latte which was very vanilla-y and great. Friendly service yummy coffee. Space to sit inside (not the best metal chairs though, see pic) ; would recommend a visit!

    The only reason this isn't getting 5 stars is because of wait times. I don't mean waiting in line, I mean waiting for your drinks because food comes out so fast! I hear the food is amazing so my next visit I will have to dine here also. Got an iced vanilla bean latte and it was worth the wait! They must harvest the beans fresh lol jk, but the flavor is truly great. It's a little cramped inside but there is an okay amount of seating since most people seem to take their orders to go, plus there is a few tables outside which they thankfully have been thoughtful enough to provide shade as well so on a nice day I'm sure it enhances the experience. I hope to be back soon and highly recommend!

    Break of day burrito & peanut butter cup iced latte
    Abbi F.

    I ordered delivery, so no notes on service or the physical location. The break of day burrito was piping hot & yummy. It was clear they diced & comingled all the fillings before stuffing them into the tortilla, allowing every bite to have some of everything, which I particularly appreciate. The peanut butter cup iced latte was a decadent hit of caffeine.

    Delicious and very lavender forward. It was my husband's and my first time where we sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather.The people are very nice and friendly. We plan to come back and try the breakfast menu. Cheers!

    Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon after craving some breakfast burritos in the area. They have an abundance of different bfast items from pancakes, sandwiches, salads, coffee, lattes and of course bfast burritos. Ordered the break of day / all american burrito / pancakes. All items were very delicious. Nothing bad to say, everything was wiped clean. Burrito comes in a very nice tortilla thats very thin and has a nice texture. Size is really good as well. I know some places the burritos are the size of a peanut. The pancake was really fluffy and hit the spot. Definitely will try again and try their sandwiches next time. Parking is pretty easy even though it's street only parking a lot of spaces available. They do delivery to DoorDash an Uber eats as well.

    Salted Caramel Latte
    Jasmine B.

    I didn't realize the breakfast burritos are the main attraction, so I'll have to return. I tried the salted caramel almond latte and it was cool. What I loved most about this place was the service. They are so enthusiastic to greet you, which is a rarity at coffee shops now.

    The service is always on point in the very cute spot that always gets packed. If you like really strong coffee, this is your place to be. Definitely a neighborhood spot with enough seating inside and outside. It is not super spacious inside but more of a homely feel with some lower seat downs, bar stools and high top areas. Outside could use more seating tbh. The veggie burrito was so huge it was hard to finish. Most items are good sized portion. It had enough dressing in it as well as much veggie including mushroom. Yay!!! The FunGuy fungus. Owners are so nice to talk to and very personable. It has an Asian flavor to some of the items like the banh mi sandwich. This is def a good find Undergrind!

    Bagel and lox
    Karen L.

    What a hidden gem! In an area that is not very trendy or known for anything in particular, sits this great coffee and breakfast joint. The food is fabulous, the coffee is rich and creamy, and the prices are more than fair. We had the Greek scramble that was loaded with feta, olives, spinach, and other veggies, and the lox bagel. My dining partner gets lox and bagels all the time and said it was the best he's ever had. The lox was super fresh and high-quality. There is a small seating area inside and a few tables outside on the sidewalk. It's super casual with metal barstools and a mishmash of tables and counters. It would be good for takeout as well.

    I've been coming to undergrind since I discovered them during the pandemic. Love supporting a local black-owned business! Lattes are so yummy and their food menu really sets them apart from other coffee shops! Staff is always friendly.

    Salted Caramel Latte
    Jessica G.

    I'm not a first timer for Undergrind and you can tell what it means when you keep coming to a coffee shop. Yep, I love their coffee and the fact that they provide multiple fun options of sweetened latte. Some of them are more adventurous featuring peanut butter, but my faves are surely their Salted Caramel and Vanilla ones. Kind reminder, their cup sizes are relatively big compared to typical coffee shops; hence I mostly go for their small. Unlike the cup size, the venue is quite small. Nonetheless, that actually doesn't really trouble me as much as the fact that sitting for awhile inside always leaves me with food/kitchen scent (IYKYK). Don't get me wrong, they do serve luscious breakfast and brunch menus, so if the scents don't bother you, ALL GOOD! This place is constantly busy throughout the day, but it's pretty outstanding that they always manage to get the orders ready speedy enough even including the foods.

    Break of Day Burrito
    Remy H.

    Great spot for a hearty breakfast burrito! The Break of Day Burrito was a decent size for the price. Could've had a little more flavor so glad it came with a side of salsa!

    Veggie & Grits (+Turkey bacon & scrambled egg). The  creole wine butter & garlic made this dish!
    Shelly S.

    Read my previous review for food items. I just wanted to show how I got my cherry bomb blended drink and it was sooo good!! Cherry bomb with oat milk, extra cherry pumps "not blended" with chocolate sauce at the bottom. This is my new high!!!! That's all!

    G.O.A.T avocado toast with fried egg
    Ms X.

    So so good! I have had several things here and they are all so bomb. Service is kind and I asked for a recc and he gave me his opinion, which I appreciated. I ordered the breakfast burrito before for takeout and that was so good. Today my friend and I ate inside. There are a few tables, good music and we had a nice meal. I got the GOAT avocado toast topped with a fried egg, arugula, honey goat cheese, so creamy and yummy. My friend got the Bollywood burrito that is a curry explanation of flavor and deliciousness. She also got the purple rain drink with lavender and that was a lovely sweet treat. I also want to try the tuna sandwich on a brown bread and the beet salad.

    Opened in early 2021 I would say this is the most popular bookstore in Culver City and my favorite…read more It's located in the heart of downtown on the corner of two of the most popular streets. They also have a fantastic café inside so even if you're not searching for a book or magazine, it's still a great place to grab a bite or drink. There is a covered free parking lot in the back, but it was completely full when I visited so I found free street parking in the neighborhood in the block next to the bookstore. All of the staff that I encountered was very friendly as well. As mentioned the café, attached is terrific and I especially enjoyed their Vanilla Latte and the Turkey Avocado Panini. It was extremely fresh and I loved it. I was not able to find some of the history, business, or philosophy book titles I was searching for so they don't have a huge stock compared to some of the big chains, but I was able to find some alternate titles worth considering. Definitely worth stopping in if you are a bibliophile or in Culver City and I plan to visit again as well.

    What a gem of a bookstore…read more Local hangout for Westsiders with tonssss of books, a café, lots of seating, and a children's section. They hold different events as well. I love that they have early hours even on weekends for those of us still up at 7am no matter what. Going in at 8am on a Sunday and seeing others already there? *My people* They have "bar" seating along the windows for working use with bar stools. Laptop/reading seating. They have tables and one BIG table for those enjoying café purchases and for those needing back support *cough cough* me. Village Well is just such a nice place to hangout in if you love books and/or need a place to work instead of home so you don't fall asleep. Anywhere that puts passion into books...is my favorite place.

My go to coffee is an oat milk latte, and depending on how hungry I am, either the protein brekkie or one of their burritos (love both homemade salsa that come with them). Pastries and bagels are from Jyan Isaac bread, and I particularly like the plain croissant. Lucky is the fantastic manager who always remembers the regulars, but everyone on the staff is professional and friendly. P.S. Their patio is dog friendly.

I did find myself wanting to keep drinking, but mainly to figure out if I liked it. My taste buds went through a ride each time...woh kind of "sour", but no...it's alright...to...not 100% whether I actually like this or not. Was the oatmilk bad? The coffee beans they use? Vanilla lattes are my go-to coffee order so I've tried a lot of these. I can say did not like this "roller coaster ride" at 7:30 in the morning. I would've gone up to the counter to nicely ask for something else, but had an appointment I already left for. I ended up throwing half of it away! So sad. The macadamia nut banana bread was hefty in portion (appreciated) and moist. It was nice. This space is a nice, sunny vibe to work, read, pass some time. People come and go so there was plenty of available tables or bench seats. Service was stellar. Everyone was professional and pleasant. There was one person making the drinks, but he moved with purpose and pumped drinks out much faster than any Starbucks (for reference). I wouldn't stop here again. I'm actually drinking a different iced latte from elsewhere 2 hours later lol Parking: street. If none on this side may need to go across the street. Not sure if the building has a garage option, but it might. I didn't look the menu up earlier or I would've tried something with "almond macadamia" (as the 3 orders before mine were called out including).
