    Love this place. The staff is so friendly, the food is delicious and the coffee is top notch. I live in the neighborhood so I never have to worry about parking. But it's a great place to walk to.

    One of my favorite coffee shops in Venice. The staff is friendly, lots of outside seating, good coffee and free wifi.

    As my friends would say, it's "tres hip." Great place to grab coffee or a quick meal, shop a little while you wait for your drink, and then get some work done on your laptop.

    Very cool atmosphere, rustic furniture, old bikes and little store. Great background music, salsa. Latte was good.

    I have been looking for a good flat white since my return to the US after being abroad in NZed. Finally found it. The museli and yogurt is delicious and the staff is awesome!

    Bad ass coffee and motorcycle shop. Definitely worth checking out although watch out for the limited parking!

    If you're into motorcycles, this is a cool hangout. Also on some Sunday, there are love bands and tons of custom bikes parked in the back

    Aussie influenced cafe. Cool joint, get a vegemite toast with your coffee.

    Bring your dog and get the granola with yogurt and berries. Their granola is deliciously toasted, and the fresh berries are cut right there at the counter!

    ProTip: They close at 7pm, and don't serve espresso drinks iced because of a contract thing with Handsome. Definitely worth it anyway, not to mention the super friendly staff.

    I really want to rate this place a 9 or a 10. However, they don't recycle. It just seems crazy that in California, in 2015, bottle recycling isn't available for the juice bottles they sell.

    Love the vibe, coffee and snacks. Tall desks here that work as standup desks are a major draw for me.

    Great atmosphere of combined coffee and motorcycle shop with a lot of other stuff. Flat white was good but Scone was better!

    Oh cute barista.You smile at everyone but when you smile at me it seems as though you and I share a joke. I know your name but you don't know mine. Our relationship may be doomed. Le sigh.

    They use Australian naming conventions for coffee. A flat white is 5 ounces of steamed milk with espresso and a long black is what americans call an Americano.

    Same hipster issue as in Deus in Bali. Too many hipster posers. No power outlets to laptop. Staff has a bit of typical hipster attitude. 5/10

    Coffee is good indeed but the Caesar salade is a rip off: 10$ for few leaves of salad and bread croutons...

    No decaf here, which is a little odd. Good espresso, though.
