    Me and my mum loves this coffee shop. Baristas are friendly and recently they started making housemade hazelnut lattes! This place is dog friendly too, so bring your fido! :))

    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.

    Amazing coffee. Try a latte. Better than Luxxe and rivals intelligentsia. However, tip for new coffee shops on highly competitive streets: be extra friendly to your new customers. It goes a long way.

    Sublime coffee, great atmosphere, good downbeat electro music, very bright with lots of natural light, very friendly staff. Only minus is the Valspeak audience.

    My favorite Santa Monica coffee shop. Try their guatemala pour over or cold brew on tap. So delicious. Bring your pup too, they have awesome dog treats:)

    Bolivia pourover doesn't need anything in it. Mellow and rich. Perfect with a chocolate and pistachio cookie. So good they almost didn't make it to a picture

    The owners are a couple who told me that they met at a coffeeshop; so cute! They're always here on the weekends, even though they both have their "real" jobs during the week.

    Proper Flat white, delicious salty pastry & fresh pressed juices. It is nice to sit in the back as near cashier it is pretty busy in the morning. :)

    Great coffee. They use quality milk, unlike Luxxe up the street. But how do you open a coffee shop these days that doesn't have wifi?!!

    Mocha here is sweetened (perfectly) unlike some other shops. Don't miss monkey bread.

    Coffee is great. Nice spot. But given the location, the audience is audacious. Loud valspeak chicks.

    The lemon ricotta pound cake with a hint of rosemary is very good and not too sweet.

    Hipster central. Their iced teas are super expensive & as far as I can tell just plain tea with ice in them.

    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 :)

    Order an iced drink. Baristas use a cocktail shaker to mix your drink
