50 Best Coffee Shops near Pacific Palisades

“This Starbucks coffee ☕️ is just lovely 😊“

“This has the best view! Customer service award goes to Andrea! She’s the only one who has a smile on her face everyday even when it’s crazy busy. I come here everyday. The others either have no idea what they are doing or are on their cell phone and get the order wrong. Thanks Andrea!“

“chill spot for friendly conversation.“

“I have tried out many coffee shops in the area but this one has the BEST COFFEE. No matter what I order it's always been amazing. Staff is so friendly and I love going there to do work :)“

“Two of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had in my life! The Cafe Rico was out of this world and the drip coffee was unreal. Special shoutout to Nicely for his hospitality, passion, and expertise. Cannot recommend enough, I will be back☕️“

“Today I tried a new sandwich for me, the Italiano. I expected a good sandwich but was pleasantly impressed how yummy. Their coffees and teas I always enjoy.“

“This cafe is wonderful...they have really good overnight oats and their iced honey lavender lattes are delicious (I know...sounds different, but seriously try it!) The owner is super friendly and the cafe has many places to sit to enjoy your coffee. Will definitely come back:)“

“If you’re reading this, here’s the short version: this is easily one of the best restaurants in Culver City, and you need to try it now!

It’s a small spot in downtown Culver City that you could walk past without noticing. I’m glad I didn’t. There are a couple of tables outside, but most of the seating is indoors. The space is modern, clean, and relaxing.

We ordered three dishes, all recommended by our waiter. The mussel toast is a must. Every bite is savory and packed with seafood flavor. For mains, we had the short rib and rainbow trout. The short rib was perfection. Cooked over fire and served with crispy potato strings. It’s something you get at high-end steakhouse but at half the price. The rainbow trout looked beautiful and tasted fresh, though the citrus was a bit stronger than I prefer.

For dessert, we couldn’t resist the churro and ice cream sandwich. The ice cream (another must try), sourced from a Persian maker, was rich with rose, honey, and pistachio. The presentation was just as impressive. The churros were decent, though I wished they were crispier and the dipping sauce was thicker.

Overall, I’d give this place a solid five stars. The food is close to Michelin quality without the Michelin prices. Go and you won’t be disappointed.“

“Absolutely amazing to see a third space like this when its become increasingly difficult to find them nowadays. Place was packed with college students and being in such a lively place made studying a lot more enjoyable. The place almost seems too good to be true as you can set your own prices for whatever you order so long as its over a dollar; your first order is actually free! I got the vanilla oatmilk latte and was shocked at just how good it is. I wish I knew about this place sooner knowing i've been paying $7.50 for coffee that wasnt as good. Will definitely be coming back whenever I have the chance.“

“This is the best coffee in LA, the shop is small and most of the time busy in the morning time
The coffee is amazing (specialty coffee)
I tried a lot in Los Angeles and this is the best
The shop is small and it is crowded in the morning.“

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic! Generous portion with pickles and delicious soft boiled eggs, pickles, puréed fresh tomatoes and a small amount of hot sauce that isn’t too hot. Just right. Went to your place near corner of Van Nuys and Burbank. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED“

“Coffee is incredible! We came almost everyday of our vacation in Santa Monica because of the amazing lattes and the wonderful owners, who explained the art that goes into making all of their products. The blueberry latte was my particular favorite but they were all delicious!!“

“the option of pistachio milk. the pastries are fantastic.“

“Stopped in on a Saturday morning. Not too busy, we were able to walk in and order. I got an iced matcha with no sweetener. The flavor was delicious! The matcha tasted authentic and fresh. It had such great flavor, I really enjoyed it! My significant other ordered an iced coffee drink and he really liked it! We will definitely be back. The seating there seems more like a quick sit down and go. Although, I did see some people with computers. There were also some outdoor seating, but those were all full upon my stay there. I can definitely see this as a quick drink to-go place for me. The staff was kind & most especially the cashier.“

“Lovely family business. Great food & drinks, easy parking, inside & outside seating, affordable prices & totally relaxed & comfy athmosfere!“

“I stopped by this spot on the way to dinner over the weekend. Parking was a little limited, but there were plenty of public lots and street parking nearby. The shop is super cute, and I picked up a few cookies: Guava Cheese, KitKat Tiramisu, Ube Coconut Éclair, and Peanut Butter Banana Brûlée.

What I loved most is that they add the toppings fresh after you order! The cookies were soft, flavorful, and had a nice hint of cinnamon. My favorite was the Guava Cheese🤍

The staff were really friendly and explained each flavor. Next time, I want to try their ice cream since I saw a lot of people ordering it!!!“

“Best food spot I’ve ever been too. I have traveled internationally and nationally NOTHING beats Kafe K, best quality cappuccino perfect consistentsy for only $5?! I wish I had a lifetime supply! Don’t get me started on the açaí bowls, my jaw hit the floor? Even my child asked if we can make them at home, most definitely would come and support!“

“Our favorite neighborhood place for delicious organic coffee and tea. Love the owner and her staff. Highly recommend“

“Great, friendly crew and delish food“

“What is there not to love about Alfred Coffee of WeHo! 😊“

“the empanadas are exquisite. you have to try them to understand. this some homemade Argentina style 😋 deliciousness. Rico is a show to say the least. I will definitely stop by just to grab some more empanadas. my highlight of the boardwalk. like Rico says they're 🔥 fire.“

“Beautiful cafe. Loved it here.“

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

“This eatery is a quaint jewel among others. The staff greets you with a warm and welcoming smile, and they are kind, caring and attentive. The food is delicious and tastefully presented and we keep returning to enjoy another meal.“

“Cute little coffee shop. I've gotten their matcha, a sugar free vanilla latte, and the cold brew so far all are delicious and smooth, also not too sweet which I love. The seats are super comfy and the wifi works well too. Couldn't want anything more :)“

“This is without a doubt LA’s best coffee. Nikita is the best. So attentive to his coffee making process and creative. The fig leaf is the absolute best thing to get here if you like cold brew and if you want something hot, the lavender is tasty and original. I also love the mocha. On the weekend you can also order a delicious focaccia from Steve inside Big Red Sun. The combo is… need I say more?“

“Excellent High Tea on Montana Avenue. Great owner and staff. Relaxing atmosphere. Delicious teas and food. A jewel on our neighborhood! Highly recommended.“

“Took a 6:30 AM yoga class and was looking for coffee and this was already open so I stopped by and got a Darth Mocha, which isn’t sweet at all, they use a dark chocolate, espresso, charcoal, sea salt, and milk of your choice and you can get it hot or cold.

A sweet girl that was in my yoga class actually let me in on a little secret…. if you’re in line and you’re at the front… the frame to the right is actually a secret menu so you can just pop it right off and the menu will be on the back !

I am a sucker for cinnamon donuts, and when I saw the cinnamon twist, I knew I needed to have it. It tastes like a churro and it would probably be so delicious dipped in your hot coffee, but I opted for a cold ! It is very vibey inside, but there is seating inside or outside depending on the weather and what your vibe is. The workers are super sweet and really know their menu well so you can ask for recommendations!! I’ll be back after more yoga classes 😉“

“Great tasting coffee and pastries, it was such a good time! I got their Iced Sugar Cookie Cream Top Latte (which was Halloween themed for October) and the Turkey Provolone Croissant. Staff gave me recommendations/explanations to my questions and they were all so nice ❤️ Definitely come by!“

“Been here now 4 times and it keeps impressing me. The food quality and flavours are SO good, and the wine choices are great, haven’t gotten a bad one yet. The ambiance is a key element too, making it feels like home/community (the name ‘Companion’ is the right one!) with the LP player, the massive bookshelf, the wooden elements and the tables setup. It’s a favourite for us, where we always bring out friend and family visiting us. Love it’s in our neighbourhood!“

“This coffee hub in Venice feels like the moment Abbot Kinney’s creative pulse meets the precision of third wave coffee. Opened in 2009, it helped define Venice’s modern café culture by turning coffee brewing into something closer to a performance than a transaction.

You step through the brick archway into a bright industrial space where baristas work in the open, pulling espresso and pouring filter coffees with the kind of care that makes you slow down and actually watch. The vibe channels Venice’s blend of artistry and edge with a mix of locals, creatives, and caffeine purists who treat this spot like a daily ritual. It is one of those rare cafés where the coffee is flawless, the energy feels alive, and the entire experience captures the spirit of Venice without trying too hard.“

“While visiting Woodland Hills, I googled a breakfast spot that looked pretty good and Nat’s didn’t disappoint. The parking was a little tricky as you had to back in off of Main Street, but they do have parking in the back which I would’ve chosen if I would’ve known ahead of time. I got this special sausage plate with hashbrowns, scrambled eggs and maple turkey links, which were pretty good. My wife got the basic breakfast plate with regular sausage which was OK but a little salty. Would recommend because they have a lot of choices to choose from. Satisfied.“

“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.“

“Great espresso nice vibes“

“I tend to stay away from chain coffee shops because they truly tend to let me down when it comes to things as simple as an espresso, however, I was very surprised with the service and knowledge of the baristas who pulled an absolutely incredible shot and also gave my doggo a treat so he wasn't left out. Great vibe and super friendly staff.“

“Really good coffee!
I always buy single origin americano, taste's so good. Baristas are professional!
Recently I've tried Salted Scotch Toddy. Oh my God this is so yummy 🤤 Taste is so mild, balance, savory. And I've tried matcha latte on oat milk, still is perfect, so quality milk and matcha! Amp coffee is my number one coffee shop in NoHo ♥️“

“Almost too hip of an atmosphere. Looks futuristic and like a hipster puked all over it but it’s still cute. I miss the old schnackenbergs! This place looks odd in old cute charming uptown Hoboken. It’s very Portland-esque. Good salad tho.“

“Wonderful people work here who are compassionate and understanding. this will bow be my place to get Boba.“

“Charming place to put in some work (if you don’t mind the background music) when a change of scenery is needed.“

“I've only ever gotten delivery so I can't rate on the atmosphere or the service but they make the best breakfast burritos I've ever had in my life. The bacon was always my favorite, they fill it to the brim with crispy bacon, but I just recently tried the pastrami and it slaps so hard my face almost hurt. The pastrami was absolutely delicious, huge pieces and so good inside the burrito with the crispy hashbrowns and egg... Seriously the most delicious breakfast burrito you could ever dream of. Their iced latte is on-point too.“

“I really love this coffee shop! The staff were warm and welcoming, and gave me recommendations on food and coffee items to try. I decided to get the Argentine spinach quiche and an iced Saint latte. They were both really good, highly recommended!“

“Enjoyed the croissant and a muffin with a mocha coffee“

“amazing cool fun and exciting experience“

“The attendant was friendly ! Turkey sandwich and the hot chocolate were amazing ! Definitely recommend !“

“What a wonderful discovery. The dining room is spacious yet creates a sense of intimacy. The food is delicious and interesting. The service is exceptional. This was my third visit and each time has been better than the last. Thanks to Billy and Laurissa for their special attention. “We see you and we care” was evident the entire evening.“

“excellent salad. thank you ben“

“Tried it yesterday. Stopped for a coffee and stayed for the outdoor seating. The cappuccino was excellent!“

“We visited Sweet Angeles today and had the best experience. The staff were super friendly and welcoming - it felt like they were genuinely happy to have us there.
We ordered the chocolate, Dubai chocolate, and strawberry ice creams - all were rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The Dubai chocolate was especially unique and definitely a favorite. We also shared a piece of cake (so good!) and an iced coffee that hit the spot. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing.
The place itself has a really cozy and relaxed vibe - perfect for hanging out and enjoying a sweet treat.
Overall, it was a lovely experience and we're already looking forward to going back!“

“clean open bright space with excellently prepared coffee and matcha drinks.“

“I love Cravings’ food and the fact that it has so many options to pick from. Their menu has a great variety, it’s quite impressive. Shane and his wife are very friendly and provide a great service. I have ordered meals from daily lunch to catering food for the office and the food is always delicious. I highly recommend this place. Prices are accessible too.“
