50 Best Cafes near Pacific Palisades

“The service was great, the food was good, as well as the view. The room, however, is nothing special; it is a multi-purpose room which happens to serve as a tea room for the occasion. There is unfortunately nothing in the design of the room which enhances the Garden Tea experience. To be truly successful, the Garden Tea needs its own space.“

“The friendliest service accompanied by fresh and delicious food.
There is a nice patio with heaters ( winter ) and Mountain View.
The cakes, pastry etc are so good.
Ask them to warm up a croissant in the oven…. Is heaven.
I have been here a lot of times and is always a great experience.
The gentleman at the cashier has the best attitude to serve.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly & Pet friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“As a New Yorker, my standards for breakfast & brunch are high. I’m so glad I came here! There’s a freshness about the atmosphere and the food selection is unique and tasty.
I got the curry with bokchoi and we had fried for the table.
They had matcha, which went perfectly with the creamy-with-a-kick meal. 🥰I wish I had 2 stomachs so I didn’t have to leave a bite uneaten, but I could only get through have of this lovely meal.
Absolutely will be revisiting when I’m back in the West Coast.🫶🏾“

“Best coffee shop on earth.“

“Matcha Village has the most delicious desserts! We tried the Green Vine Cheesecake and the Fruit Box Cake. Both were fantastic! The consistency of the matcha for the cheesecake was perfection. I wish I could explain it better, but it was amazing. Can’t wait to go back to try some drinks and the Peking deck crepe!!!“

“One of my favorite restaurants ever. The meat was seasoned so expertly and was so tender. Mussel toast was INCREDIBLE. Their sourdough was out of this world. Staff was knowledgeable and guided us in trying many interesting wines. This place was amazing!“

“Ooh, what a lively place. It is a packed place even on a late Thursday morning, but the food is quite good.

I had the avocado toast with two poached eggs and it was tasty. I added a sprinkle of pepper and it was set to go. Definitely interested in trying the rest of their menu.

Cold brew was also nice although not too memorable.“

“In A Nutshell:

-Yagul is a Oaxacan oasis.
-I found out about this place while exploring the neighborhood & noticed a lot of people popping in/out.
-Not only that the beautiful smell of Mexican food wafted into my nostrils, so I mentally bookmarked this spot.
-Not too long later, I came in for a nice breakfast.
-The Huevos Rancheros really hit the spot.
-The portion was not too big & everything tasted fresh, especially the beans & rice.

Overall, the service is very friendly & I liked the prices too.“

“This is my favorite coffee shop in Los Angeles, bar none. The coffee is always consistent and delicious. Also the setup & branding is very cute.

The owner is personable and a joy to talk to every time I go to Rabbits Coffee. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent Mexican ( Oaxacan) food in Mar Vista. The food was delicious and nicely presented & service was friendly and attentive. We sat outside at a picnic table, which is fun in warm weather. There are several Oaxacan businesses in the area. Diversity like this is what makes LA great.“

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

“Wonderful experience very friendly“

“This might be my favorite new specialty drink in the city of LA. Georgia on my mind is awesome. I wanted it to be decaf, but they don’t have decaf coffee, so they made it as an iced decaf latte and added vanilla syrup and orange dust. Absolutely delicious.“

“Great place! Awesome service.“

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

“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.“

“What a cozy little vibe in WLA … it’s been on my list of places to visit in my neighborhood & I’m very glad I did. Delicious churros & mocha to go, warm staff, fantastic music. Next time I’ll dine in & try a sandwich with another churro selection on the menu. Charming place!“

“Faboulous baked goods, great chef in the kitchen, some unusual delightful special breakfasts + lunches, excruciatingly noisy due to bad acoustics when busy.
2025: as good as ever, good coffee + espresso, great baked goods, good breads, outside seating, the take out salads are overpriced and not that interesting, always helpful staff. too bad they close for food at 3:oo. owner Hans has a couple of local high price restaurants: Janes in the MDR. good though.“

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

“Double edge coin. Hippies then conservatives in the same area. But you get a certain vibe from the area.“

“In one word - WOW!!
Super tasty, amazing atmosphere, great prices, amazing and warm service! Everyone is super nice and welcoming.
Food was delicious!!!
We will definitely be back for more!
If you don’t visit you are definitely missing a one of a kind experience!!“

“The drinks are so thoughtfully crafted and their potato chips are done fresh! The worker there was kind enough to offer me a reccomendation and she was incredibly understanding. I'll definitely be going again for that drink and those potato chips!“

“Such a beautiful place in Sherman Oaks! Brought the family here for Breakfast for the first time after driving by it for weeks. We were all very impressed with the quality of food and the exceptional service provided by our waitress Emily! We will definitely be back in the future!“

“I needed a place to have good coffee and work and this place was perfect. Friendly staff and they are cool with you pulling your laptop out and working. The sesame ice latte was really good and not too sweet. I also enjoyed the blueberry matcha - the mix of mild sweetness and bitterness complement each other perfectly. The almond croissant was amazing with a wonderful creamy filling. I’ll be back.“

“I love this place! Maybe one day, my state will have full recreation. For now, I will happily indulge while on vacation. Btw, their prices were LESS than what I paid for my medical. The staff was amazing and I hope I can come back again before I leave!“

“Very friendly group there. They had information available about all the cats and you could tell they loved where they worked. The cats are obviously well cared for and the facility is well maintained. I was impressed with the entire experience and will definitely be back.“

“Came here - it's great cafe and I see what the hype is about/why ppl rated it highly! It's a community cafe that feels like a nice purposeful place inside - the first time you visit, they'll let you have a coffee/drink on the house and then after that, you pay what you feel your drink and bill should be. They offer additional seasonal activities like art classes, creative things to do in this space - would def love to support it more and the coffee is great here! I got their seasonal/monthly latte: when harry met salty. Very good coffee! Hope this place sticks around and ppl support it! Can't wait to come back for another coffee or tea drink! If you go during prime time, there's a long line.“

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

“They have the most amazing soups! Healthy and delicious! Plus they have amazing customer service!“

“Nice place, cool atmosphere. The service was very good everyone was very polite. Coffee tasted funny, as if the machine wasn’t cleaned for some time.

The French toast was perfect. The sandwich was ok, I didn’t like it my husband found it good. So let’s say average?“

“I have been looking for the best gluten free bagels for years. Finally found it! Thank you Modern Bagel!“

“Oh my gosh, is this my favorite place to get coffee in SM? Yes! So cute, great coffee and smoothies, great avacado and egg salad toasts. Great dog watching and people watching too. Easy to park, but pay the meter, the meter people make a sweep in the morning. Lovely place to sit, lots of shaded places.“

“Tastes great, not expensive, good service“

“Favorite lil coffee shop in LA! I roast my own coffee at home (so I'm a bit of a snob about my coffee 😅) but when I'm on the run I come here. Great coffee and the baristas always have the best vibe! I always walk out with a smile!“

“Great pricy place for breakfast, fancy coffee, pastries. Lines out the door but was doable at 9am this morning on Labor Day Monday. Pricy, food was pretty, but taste was so so. Carrot teff cupcake (small) was very cold and hard-but again pretty! $48“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in Culver City! I can't get over it closed for good :( Loved the food, everyone was so nice too. Please open again!!“

“good food good coffee good service and very close to home“

“Relaxed, and posh coffee location to get work done!“

“Imagine an extremely clean place, where the food is excellent and the service is perfect?! It was incredible to find this place. The ladies treat everyone extremely well, it seems to be a family business that makes you feel at home.
I recommend it 100%. A million times better than those famous sandwich and salad shops. They deserve all the recognition❤️“

“Good food, great atmosphere,friendly and fast service,I recommend to everyone,👍🏼“

“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“

“Great place but horrible customer service !!! I wanted to order online and it was an issue with the website (availability and discount problems). At first they were really nice and reactive but then they just disappeared and ignored my messages ! I asked them 3 times to answer me but nothing….. I have never seen that in the US ! Really disappointing. And their answer on Google made it just worse. Although the shop is amazing, I won’t go anymore.“

“Best Sunday Brunch- we were first timers and when other customers rave about the food while waiting for a table you know it’s gonna be great! And it was - not to mention the fresh orange juice mimosas! Awesome service … I’ll be back!!“

“Great pies, even better real Coffee!“
