50 Best Cafes near Marina Del Rey

“So much better than Hive. We came here a few weeks ago because the attitude and service at Hive was awful. We left, saw the signs for here and are sooooo glad we found it. It’s a lovely little cafe. Everyone is nice and polite and kind. Highly recommend“

“Good crepes; only take out window is open but good service pretty fast. Thumbs up 👍.“

“Friendly atmosphere and excellent food!“

“Great white is an amazing place. I’ve been there for dinner and lunch. The breakfast burrito is my favorite in all of LA but the dinner experience, the atmosphere is very fun it’s the perfect spot for casual family friendly dinner where the food is amazing The burger was delicious and so are the fish tacos. finally, the banana bread for dessert was so tasty.“

“The place is very trendy and the food is vey delicious. There were 9 of us and we were able to taste many of the menu items. The food was consistently tasty and good. The lavashak and lavashak smoothie were 10 out of 10. Also the server was very friendly. We will definitely come back.“

“This place just feels like a warm hug. The interior is filled with lush plants, mismatched vintage furniture, and a very welcoming atmosphere. I tried their signature lavender honey latte and it wasn't overly sweet, just right. The baristas are super friendly and remember the regulars. It's the perfect spot to curl up with a good book on a rainy afternoon“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“Busy on the weekends and mornings so recommend coming here on a weekday. We came here during Wednesday for dinner and did not have to wait. They were out of the chicken rice but had everything else. You order at the front and then get a seat. They don’t do reservations so best to come with a small group of 2-3. Highlights on the menu for us we’re the French Toast and Pork Belly Rice. The French Toast was sweet with a crispy outside and fluffy inside. Overall, great place with good prices and would come back!“

“Great atmosphere, Hector was great!“

“The Menemen was absolutely delicious - fresh, flavorful, and almost as good as the one I had in Istanbul! 😊 It reminded me so much of the Bulgarian mish-mash. The oat milk latte was perfectly smooth, too. I’ll definitely be back! ☕❤“

“Love the atmosphere, great place to try authentic Turkish dishes ( İskender , dolma , mercimek çorba, Lahmacun) 😋😋😋🇹🇷🧿“

“My fiancée and I are fortunate enough to live a short walk away from Yagul and can’t get enough of it! Authentic and delicious Oaxacan food/drink (you literally cannot go wrong with anything on the menu) and the most wonderful and warm staff you’ll find in all of West LA. One of the true gems in our community.“

“Hidden gem! Tried out the peanut butter and banana shake, which was pretty descent. The chicken pesto sandwich was DELICIOUSNESS. It hit the spot.
Tried the fruit mousse dessert, raspberry and strawberry and they were gooood. But the real star of the show was Bella, the owners dog! She sat next us while we enjoyed our lunch :) the staff was super friendly and welcoming!“

“The sweet and Saby’s burrito was good - like a 7.6/10. It was hot but lacked texture. Need to griddle the outside.

Unfortunately, we ordered in the restaurant at 9:30 and had to wait over an hour for our burritos. It was absolutely chaos inside with DoorDash and uberEats people yelling about their orders every second. They need to dedicate a specific area outside to to-go orders.

Had high expectations. Was just fine.“

“I've been to Toastique multiple times at this point, and I will definitely be returning! Everyone there is so welcoming and kind! Even the look and feel of the restaurant are so inviting that I want to keep going back. I've gotten a smoothie (that I've forgotten the name of, but it was good!) and the Cure Juice which were both very tasty and I'd highly recommend checking it out!“

“Such a sweet and kind establishment“

“The food is amazing. But what I like the most is the atmosphere. We decided to seat outside. Lovely cute chairs, quiet and breathy. Same deal for the inside. Food was tasty and portions very good in size. We got savory crepe - Crepe heaven special with egg, turkey and cheese. Very good balance of stuffing and crepe. The crepe itself is delicious. Not too dry or chewy. Sweet crepe was loaded with fruits, we’ve opted for condensed milk instead of Nutella. Two crepes to split between two people. We also got coffee and coffee was not bad. I am very picky with coffee but their coffee was surprisingly good! Highly recommend! Pictured strawberry banana crepe with condensed milk.“

“Hot day. We had a relax time with amazing tea!!!“

“Went with some friends who were vegetarian and we opted for the hummus wrap with tofu and it was SO good. I’ll always go for local food versus chains and this hit the spot. The owner was also really cool and chill (loved the condiment sides he suggested). Highly recommend this place! The next time I’m in LA I’m definitely gonna come back here.“

“The food was excellent! The service was excellent also ! Nice place“

“Great place! Awesome service.“

“The breakfast / brunch menu has a good concept and good options. The merguez sandwich was good, but too oily. The fries were done well but too salty.

I wish they cooked the food with less oil and salt. Maybe I'll request that if I stop by to eat there again.“

“Amazing coffee and drinks but even more amazing service. I stopped in recently postpartum with my toddler in tow and unfortunately spilled my drink everywhere as I was trying to leave. Hanna and Mher kindly helped me immediately and remade my drink. Totally saved my day!“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“This isn't a coffee shop. It's a communal space. The coffee is basically free if you think of your donation as more of a rental fee to be in this lovely communal space and have access to all that it offers. This place is ideal for making plans with business partners, writing scripts with friends, or just getting together for some time away from screens and computers. This place is tailored toward bringing diverse people together into one place to sharing ideas and stories with each other. As for the coffee and baristas both are fantastic. Cappuccino rocked me off my behind all day cuz I'm used to watered down crappuccinos from Starbucks. I love this place. This is where I bring friends that love good coffee and a peaceful conversation.“

“The staff and owners are beyond amazing!! Their love for the community and passion to serve others makes me believe in goodness again in this world. I love you guys! Thank you so much for all you do!!“

“Tastes great, not expensive, good service“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆
Cha Cha Matcha is such a fun spot — really bright, aesthetic, and just a whole vibe.

The matcha is the highlight, really good quality and super smooth. I tried one of their drinks and it was refreshing without being too sweet.

The WeHo location has such a nice sitting area, and the decor feels really elevated — lots of plants, beautiful old cane chairs, and just a really well-designed space.

Perfect for a casual catch-up or just sitting and enjoying the space.

Definitely a cute spot if you’re into matcha and want something light and easy“

“Fantastic coffee. espresso or drip, they know exactly what they are doing“

“Nice folk. Refills on coffee! What?!!“

“WoW , the food , the view, Supernice Crew . Worth everything ! We come back . / Swedish Guests“

“Stumbled on this place by myself! The owners were so sweet and attentive. Feels very cozy and clean. A great place to post up for work.
The coffee was delicious and the food was right up there with it. I got an off menu salmon tartine that she recommended and then treated myself to the pancakes. Delicious and will come back!!“

“BEST CATERING. LOVE this Place!

I cannot express how thankful I am to know I can count on Float Hollywood! I was stressed about Easter, and I called Joyce, the owner and asked if she can do last minute catering. She was quick to response, attentive and planned my event and prepared an amazing cheese board, Lemonade in a gorgeous crystal dispenser and the most amazing sandwiches! The catering arrived on time, carefully displayed on white ceramic trays/ wood platters. I have hired Float for all my corporate special events
And my family celebrations. Float is amazing! No leftovers! Everyone loved everything. Thank you Float!“

“We visited LA for 5 days, and mostly all the lattes were disappointing. On the last day we found Rabbit’s coffee and he crushed it. Great guy, genuinely happy that you are there to get coffee. And he sends you off with excellent coffee. I even learned a few things about how to make my lattes at home even better. Skip everything else, go to rabbits coffee!“

“Great Vibes ~ cool 😎 peeps ~ delicious food“

“This was our first restaurant after arriving from the East Coast, and it set the bar high. The food was so good that we came back the very next day!

Everything tasted fresh, and you could really tell the fruits and vegetables were high quality. The meals were flavorful, satisfying, and generously portioned. We had breakfast around 11 a.m. and honestly didn’t feel hungry again until about 6 p.m.

The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the smoothie, it was a little too milky for my taste. But the lattes were excellent and definitely worth ordering. Overall, a great spot with fresh, delicious food, and I’d absolutely recommend it.“

“This location for goodboybob has been a favorite of my wife and I since we moved to the south bay. Its convenient location adjacent to the public library and a block up from the beach makes it a frequent pit stop or starting point for us. The coffees are always delicious and the pastries are solid. Though the pastries can run a little pricey it is consistent with the surrounding market. I specifically am writing this review to highlight though the excellent service. Today one of the baristas (I believe his name was Saul??) generously and pleasantly explained the different beans when he noticed I was checking some of the bags and he spent the time to explain to be the different beans, the variations in roasting process that differentiate some of them, his favorites, and went as far to provide me a fresh hot sample of some that we were discussing. At the end of it I left with just the latte I came in for(which was exceptional as always), but I also left with greater appreciation for the coffee I was enjoying and a good idea of what I can look for and enjoy in my coffee.“

“Did you know the LGBT Center has a cafe? Liberation Coffee House is all about community. The walls are lined with black-and-white vintage photography from past activism, and every dollar you spend goes straight into life-saving programs for the LGBT community. I know I sound like their marketing manager, but I’m so happy to have a queer space that isn't a bar. The overnight oats taste like a coconut rainbow in your mouth and the coffee is great too!“

“So much more than a bookstore with a coffee shop. It's a perfect cafe to meet up, get a unique book, do a work session, or catch one of the many events - it's a place with people that make you feel part of the community. It's a very unique spot where everyone feels invited and welcome.“

“Great new neighborhood spot! The food is healthy and delicious. Lots of variety on the menu so everyone should have a few excellent choices!“

“My family and i stopped for lunch. The chorizo omlett is delish. Great service. My toddler loved the waffles.“

“Muy buena y personal muy amable“

“This place is pretty amazing !!! They know all there products very good willing to help you find just what you are looking for very good service“

“Overall 5 stars, the coffees and breakfast sliders were wonderful. Absolutely worth the wait, but I do have to give 4/5 stars for service and atmosphere simply because I feel as though if they put slightly more effort into the customer experience side of things, this place could be a chain with a cult following. Everything else that they're doing is right, but the line to get it (although justified) could be made a more pleasant experience just by hiring a simple greeter to stand outside, talk to guests, and keep the line moving along steadily.“

“The food was great and the service was excellent! Will definitely be back.“

“Churro Calientes is fantastic! I’ve been here many times, and it never disappoints. The churros are always fresh, delicious, and perfectly made. The churros con chocolate are absolutely amazing and a must-try.
Sandro, the owner, is incredibly personable, friendly, and funny, which makes every visit even more enjoyable. The service is always excellent, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers.

Great food, great atmosphere, and outstanding service. I would definitely recommend Churro Caliente to anyone looking for a delicious late-night treat!“

“Awaken Cafe is a wonderful little spot in LA with great coffee, delicious drinks, and fresh pastries. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and family-friendly. It’s a great place to meet friends, bring the kids, or just relax with a good cup of coffee. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area! ☕“

“I’ve been here a number of times because I love it! The service is excellent. The food is delicious. I often have the bagel and lox and cream cheese, or the miso salmon bowl if it’s more for lunch. Best quality lox I’ve ever had, and I’m from BC. Large bagels and tons of red onions, capers & tomatoes. Generous portions, the salmon also. My table has had salads and pancakes and tuna melts. Lama Lo gets it right. Great, hot foamy lattes. Also a great buzz to the place - lively and no one hurries you, you can stay for ages. I’m a huge fan.“

“Fabulous hyper-farm-to-table food by a creative chef, on Main St in Santa Monica. I’ve tried the Gazpacho, the many Danish Rye toasts with what is fresh that day: eggs, salmon roe, avocado or ....? They also have baristas that make all type of drinks. My fab place to indulge healthy and fresh“
