Chad Miller: I grab the egg and bacon wrap to go. At only 150 calories, I've already burned it off by the time I walk to DD and back. Pumpkin spice donuts are also nice for fall.
Shabby Khalili: Don't let the line discourage you. LA has a lot of donut enthusiasts, including myself. Once you're at the front, get a box of a dozen donuts. Make sure to throw in a few Boston Cream Pie donuts too!
J Y: Every flavor of the donuts is amazing. Especially the chocolate with creamer inside is one of my favorite

Rachel K: A pretty decent coffee shop with modern, clean decor and a rotating unique latte option. The breakfast pastries look delicious too.
Yvette Cruz: The menu is only available online which isn't great for a non-local first timer like me. Opted for reg iced latte and a H&C pastry which were both delicious! 😋 Real coffee! 🤗👍🏼
Thirsty James: Interesting new #espresso blends every time, rolling with the Charcoal x Vanilla Flat White and a cinnamon #donut

DAN COX: Quite possibly, the best thing to happen to Santa Monica in our lifetime. The pastries are extraordinary (via Farm Shop) and the coffee sublime (Stumptown). Sip. Smile. Enjoy life :)
Aleksandra Booher: Get the cortado! The Danish is very delicious. I love the sleek interior and location of this place. Definitely will come back!
Dëva Holik: Their espresso and Americans are hot and well done. The coffee is strong yet mild and flavorful. Their pastries come from a good bakery and the macaroons are a good addition.

Matt Hunter: Double vanilla latte with white chocolate scone.
The Joy Writer JoyK: Rosti waitress recommended them for their coffee, but I was satiated from lunch. Enjoying the best chocolate/marzipan croissant! Although they don't offer wi-fi, grabbed it anyway. Cool music. LIKE!
DAN COX: Divert your eyes from the pastry case! Those almond croissants will take down the strongest wills!
Emily Runk: Get the sweet cream brioche. I'm a better person for it
LA Weekly: Zoe Nathan has a way with dough, be it bread dough or laminated dough, and her croissants are glorious examples of the genre, either plain, ham-and-cheese or Valrhona. Read more.
Max: Stick with the simple pizzas and homemade pastas and check the pastry counter for desserts. The passion fruit meringue tart was great.
