50 Best Cafes near Pacific Palisades

“We had a great time at tea. Our server. Karen, was very attentive and went out of her way to make our tea a positive experience. The food was tasty and offered a nice variety of sandwiches and desserts. The Getty is a wonderful location for tea.“

“A nice little beach snack shack. Convenient but prices are ⬆️ . I expected some seating inside like most cafes offer. Just a couple of tables and uncomfortable chairs along with 2 concrete benches (that could use a power wash) outside in the sand. I got the veggie burger which was delicious for $10, which is exact same price as their deluxe bacon cheeseburger and turkey burger. I appreciate having a vegetarian option, which is unusual for a food stand vendor at the beach. Bring your own water. They charge $5 a bottle.

Vegetarian options: Veggie burger was very tasty! Limited vegetarian options for sandwiches.

Parking: $6 for all day. Parking charge until 8:30. Not sure if they close off the parking lot after 8:30.“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere, Hector was great!“

“LOVE !!! such a cute persian cafe. so many lovely persian and persian inspired dishes. u HAVE to get the lavashak smoothie and the amoo palmer (it has orange blossom and a special mix by the owner). everyone working there is so friendly. shoutout eileen for helping with my first time here and being so kind!“

“My experience at Saby’s is always phenomenal. I live close by and this has turned into my go to weekend brunch spot. The food is incredible (I get the chipotle chicken breakfast burrito) almost every time and it never fails to disappoint. Sometimes the food can take a bit but that’s because there is always a line out the door and around the corner! The services is great, the workers are so welcoming and kind (especially Javier, he is the absolute man!!), and every time I come I leave with new appreciation for the establishment. Their coffee is also delicious, I get the Spanish latte with oak milk and it never fails to disappoint. 10/10 would recommend Saby’s to any and everyone!! Also special shoutout to whoever is on aux, they play absolute banger after banger on repeat (atmosphere is elite)!!“

“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.“

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

“We randomly ended up to this restaurant: small, but pleasant, the type of place where you can talk with your friends. Party of three, we had the fish carpaccio, the octopus, and the burger (gourmet burger!). Everything was prepared to perfection. They will definitely see us again.“

“I love this place. The food is excellent. The vibe is wonderful. The only issue is that the lids on the coffee cups do not stay on. If you walk even a few feet it will instantly leak out the side. It happens every time whether it’s 2 cups or one cup. We know this is a fixable problem.“

“The self care breakfast was perfect if you enjoy the Mediterranean style breakfast. What makes a big difference is just the quality of the ingredients. The feta, olives, eggs, the olive oil. So good. It was taking a little while to get our food, and they so kindly just brought us a piece of cake which also was delicious! Would definitely be a regular customer here.“

“Great place! Awesome service.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Tastes great, not expensive, good service“

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

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

“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! ☕“

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

“My wife found this great hole in the wall on our way back from Hollywood this morning. You can be pretty sure you're getting good coffee when there's an Aussie at the bar, but this fellow pulls great shots. Do yourself a favor and try this place out before some influencer discovers it and you need to wait in line to get some of this great brew. I imagine street parking can get dodgy in this neighborhood, but there's a public parking lots just a few steps away.“

“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.“

“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“

“Muy buena y personal muy amable“

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

“Very nice cozy place. The owner Sergio is think was his name. He was very conversant, makes great tasting coffee even decaf. The cortado was delicious even when I had a decaf. Just like regular coffee. And the churros con chocolate were devine.“

“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“

“Been coming here for freshly ground beans ever since i started developing a taste for coffee! Love their toddy blend for cold brew- and extra points for today bc they drew on my bag 🥹
All the workers here are super nice, but getting a cute bag of coffee today really made my day! I dont expect it every time but it was such a pleasant surprise“

“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.“

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

“Pretty good experience overall. The service is fast and responsive. The atmosphere was very family style and while a little cramped, the space was very well decorated.

I got the breakfast burrito which was pretty standard. Only issue is that the cutlery I had was dull, the fork couldn’t stab anything. Iced latte was very good.

Solid spot for brunch if you can find parking.“

“I would’ve added a picture of my food, but it was so good. I ate it too quickly. We got the breakfast burrito and the pretzel croissant sandwich. Croissant flaky buttery pretzel so delicious. The breakfast burrito had the perfect amount of eggs incredible. Prices were phenomenal compared to other places I’ve been in the atmosphere was pleasant. You will not be disappointed if you stop here for breakfast.“

“Wish we had this amazing cafe back home. The menu? There were so many appetizing choices, it was hard to choose! 😊The food is super yummy and the people who run it are so sweet!“

“Great espresso nice vibes“

“This place truly feels like home. I absolutely love it here. The food is always incredibly delicious, and the people make the experience even more special. Hasija is truly the sweetest person, and everyone is so warm and welcoming. Every time I come here, it feels like I’m sitting down to a home-cooked meal surrounded by kind, caring people.“

“Oh my gosh! Great food! Huge portions! Awesome staff- so very friendly! Love this place! Shhhh- don’t tell everyone about this place- tee hee! Seriously some delicious food!❤️“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆
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“

“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!!“

“I’ve only visited twice, but the food is beyond amazingly good! The dishes are well prepared, fresh, and just the right amount of seasoning. Best hummus ever. I’m someone that has a hard time finding food I like, so I always look forward to coming here. Service is always warm and friendly.“

“Seriously delicious shawarma served up here. I love that they toast the pita wrap on the grill. The meats are tender juicy and flavorful and the pickled veggies and sauces are on point. This truck deserves great business. I hope they stick around!“

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

“Great food and environment, we all ordered the omlettes and it was very tasty. I can say the omlettes are made from real eggs and the veggies and fruits are nice and fresh. Also, a very affordable place. Would 100 percent recommended to anyone who wants a nice breakfast or brunch to eat!“

“This place is GREAT. Never found such a great quality of ingredients in the food in the US. These guys also make their own bread and buns for the burgers. The vegetables too taste as they are supposed to taste and the waiters are just the most kind people you could ever want. I had an avocado toast and egg this morning and it was so good. With egg actually tasting incredible. Then came back for a burger and it was just great: the meat was delicious and so the toppings. Amazing place.“

“High quality food, tastes like the homemade wholesome Ukrainian food back in Ukraine. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. 😀“

“had dinner at Samos Café and Grill, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The dinner menu was amazing—everything was flavorful, well-prepared, and thoughtfully put together. You can really tell care goes into the food.

The service was just as impressive. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. What really stood out was the chef coming out to greet us, explain the dishes, and talk about the ingredients and preparation. That personal touch made the meal feel special and showed how much pride they take in their food.

Overall, Samos Café and Grill is a fantastic spot for dinner, great food, great service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Definitely a place I’d come back to.“

“I get ChaCha everyday as my little morning ritual and the staff at the century city location is so lively and such a joy! The people that work there are so cool and their individuality and style separates from other cafe spots. It honestly brightens my day because the staff is so friendly and kind. The drinks are all really good! I love the Strawberry matcha !! 10/10 recommend. The location is also cute too!“

“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.“
