Coffee Shops near Playa Vista

“My favorite coffee beans. Good people are excellent seriously“

“Yes, Wholefoods is a bit expensive for certain items but it has so much choice and also has a lot of reasonable priced items! We wanted some food to go and had the vegan grilled vegetable sandwich and vegan smoky tempeh TTLA sandwich - these were both delicious! My favourite was the first and my boyfriend preferred the tempeh one! They also have vegan pizza to go if you're in the mood. I also couldn't resist getting a box of chocolate cookies and a chocolate vegan cupcake - all amazing. Updated from previous review on 2018-06-10“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“The Amsterdam Cucumber Mint Lemonade“

“Sleepy Seal is such a gem of a coffee shop – cozy, warm, and full of character. The space has an artistic touch that makes it feel unique and inviting, and the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming. I tried the oat milk latte, and it was absolutely amazing – smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. A great spot to relax with good coffee and good vibes.“

“Awakening is an unexpectedly delightful coffee shop. Terrific coffee drinks ordered from a deceptively sparse lobby, but beyond the barista’s area is a lush, chill sitting area, filled with sofas and soft chairs, and lots of tables to work at. Rentable work room also available. Dog water and snack station. You could chill here for hours.“

“chill spot for friendly conversation.“

“Our favorite neighborhood coffee shop 💕My partner and I look forward to our weekly treat of the signature bloom latte/ matcha latte here. Yes, the butterscotch cream topping is that good~

Staff is so welcoming and our pup looks forward to coming here as well to get her own treat. This place has really picked up since we moved into the neighborhood early this year and the quality has stayed the same.

The egg sandwich with prosciutto is our go-to order (the eggs are so fluffy, the aioli – yum) and while I’ve tried the croissants, they don’t stand out like the sandwich does and that’s ok (:“

“Love this place.

Food: I personally love the Bolt Bowl. I think it’s the perfect meal.

Coffee: Solid. Fast.

Service: On this occasion, I was helped by Avery & Dax. They were professional, engaging and fun too.“

“They have a nice study space and some tables and Chairs outside as well.... Its very mellow there.“

“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☕️“

“Found this little treasure a year ago. I have been back over and over. The service is amazing and the coffee is delicious and always so pretty! The parking is small, but you can easily find parking across the street. Trust me the treat is worth it! 🥰“

“Finally I got to try this place and yes it’s EVERYTHING I expected and more . We loved it all and will be coming back real soon……… parking is an act of God but the Gods must have been looking out for us and we got parking right in front ♥️“

“This Latina woman–owned coffee shop is such a hidden gem. From the outside it might look a little rough, but step inside and you’ll be greeted with the warmest service and the most delicious food. I had the best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in a long time, and the mazapán latte was out of this world. PERFECTLY made. The team here truly makes you feel welcome, and you can tell they pour so much love into what they do. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend supporting this spot! 🌸☕🥪 Gracias chicas!!“

“Best Breakfast in Hollywood! We love it. Also the people they work there, are very friendly. Easy parking in front of the restaurant. Aircondition and relaxed music... So let us start in the day perfectly! ❤️❤️❤️“

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

“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:)“

“cute local coffee shop, friendly & great recommendations“

“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.“

“They are a multi-roaster-cafe and carried at least two different local California roasters, Dune Coffee Roasters and Be Bright Coffee Roasters.

Since it was my first time visiting, I decided to go with a drink from their specialty menu. Since they were out of their espresso-esque called the Rising Flower Tonic ($7, comes with espresso, orange juice, osmanthus flower simple syrup, & tonic water) I went with a different orange-infused option.

Georgia On My Mind ($7) is made individually with espresso, oat milk, vanilla syrup, orange zest, then shaken in a cocktail shaker, and topped with a dehydrated orange slice. On the subject of the Georgia On My Mind drink having orange zest when named after the song: “Weird, it should’ve been peach. Georgia is the peach state.” - Joshua

Georgia On My Mind was initially a punch of very sweet, so much so that next time I thought I might ask for less syrup, but it very quickly grew on me and I loved it. The orange zest was the perfect amount of orange to be noticeable without overpowering, and I appreciate that they default to oat milk for this one because it was the perfect creaminess.

I cannot wait to go back and try another signature drink!! Even though it’s called Eyes Peeled, I did not spiiill.

We were easily able to find parking at a meter out front, and although there was a bit of a line when we arrived, but luckily it moved pretty quickly and the barista and cashier were very efficient with making drinks. They had the menu posted on the wall outside the door so you could start thinking of your order while waiting in line, and they had a larger menu once you get to the register.“

“엘에이에 가면 커피마시러 가장 먼저 가보고 싶은 곳 💕💕💕“

“The Crepe Heaven Special Crepe was exactly what I was craving! The egg was cooked perfectly. Everything was so fresh and delicious. We also loved the banana almond honey crepe. Best $2.50 coffee ever!!! Clean & comfortable Service was top notch too! Highly recommend!“

“Everything I’ve tried thus far is a 12/10. The iced gentle giant is sooo good if you like a cardamom spiced note. I just branched out, and tried the iced magic latte I believe with oat milk. This oat milk is top tier, no separation, it’s so smooth. The Cinnamon Roll is the best I’ve had from the tangy cream cheese frosting to the pillowy soft roll itself. Everyone there is so nice & treat you with such genuine kindness. Being new to this area, and finding a gem like this place is so comforting in this big city. They really put the ✨craft✨ in craft coffee. Definitely try Jurassic Magic, you won’t regret it.“

“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.“

“FYI they are not serving avocado toast anymore but I got ham and cheese croissant, warmed. The parking was full but I found a spot on 5th and Virgil ave. My flat white coffee was great and the fastest I ever got from a craft coffee place, it was done in 2 min even though the place was busyyy! Everyone is so hardworking and sweet, I'll come back if in the area :)“

“Such a wonderful experience! The staff at the counter were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The hot chocolate was rich, delicious, and perfectly prepared. I Highly recommend this spot for excellent service and a warm, cozy atmosphere.“

“Of the 3 cafes I went to, this one was still open in the heavy rain.

Very cozy, warm, dry, and inviting. Umbrellas have a place and service is kind. Glad I made the short trip to get the Dalgona Latte extra sweet. Perfect for this kind of weather. 10 outta 10.“

“Everything about this place. The owner is THE SWEETEST and was dancing when we walked in and offered us some lolipops. The interior is so fun and vibrant and inviting and the boba was out of this world we actually ended up ordering more on Uber eats later. 10000/10 recommend and their signature boba.“

“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.“

“This is a tiny counter with serious espresso. The cappuccino art is consistently pretty, but I stay for the cheddar scallion biscuit—flaky with a soft interior. There’s a shaded sidewalk bench that’s prime for people-watching on Glendale Blvd. They remember regulars’ orders, which feels old-school. Great pit stop before hiking up to the reservoir loop“

“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.“

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

“This one scape has the perfect coffee balance and such a cool vibe. The staff are super friendly and really know their stuff when it comes to coffee. The bathroom is spotless, and the interior is stylish and modern. Definitely the kind of neighborhood spot I’d want to come back to again and again.“

“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!“

“It was awesome that I could say frankly speaking, Frank's coffee was awesome! The simple small spot between West Lake and Central LA made it to my long list of good coffee in town. Love how it felt homey with few seats, friendly barista, and pretty chill ambiance.

Top recommendation would be their Frank Standard, which was sweetened latte with molasses, brown sugar and cinnamon. It might sound sweet, but worry not as everything just came at the right balance. Besides, it gave extra caffeine kick featuring double shots of espresso.

One thing (prolly most important) not to miss was their 4oz chocolate chip cookie, which was UBER GOOD!! Freshly baked in store, it was so gooey that you would likely find yourself make some mess enjoying it served warm. Deliciously buttery and packed with abundant mix of dark and milk chocolate chips! Where have I been that I just found this place out?!“

“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!!!“

“Yo, just hit up Dinosaur Coffee on Sunset and had a solid experience. Ordered a flat white, and damn, that Woodcat Coffee bean they use hits different—smooth, rich, not too bitter. The barista was chill, hooked me up quick, and the vibe in there was on point. Place is packed with freelancers tapping away on laptops, but it’s not annoyingly loud. Got a seat by the window, soaked in that Silverlake energy. The caramel brownie was a nice touch, super gooey. Only gripe? Parking’s a nightmare, but that’s Sunset for ya. Def coming back for the coffee and that laid-back, artsy feel. 10/10 for a morning pick-me-up.“

“Maru has really Nice green tea latte. I usually leaning toward coffee and Maru’ coffee is super nice. But, their iced green tea latte is something else.“

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

“Neighborhood coffee shop with a really warm and inviting atmosphere driven by the service from the staff. They’re all really lovely and kind people who are making really good espresso drinks. They do a great job executing on classic espresso drinks. They also like to experiment with creative flavors for specialty drinks — I think they hit more than they miss, but I also want to say that I appreciate that they want to push the envelope and try some drinks you aren’t going to find everywhere (I’m thinking of the chamoy apple latte as an example).

The space is a little small but whaddyagonnado. I really appreciate the love they bring to the drinks! They have a small case of pastries but AFAIK they aren’t doing like food options.“

“I wouldn’t say this is a disappointment like others. I also went when the line wasn’t long and we got one strawberry matcha and one einspanner and the einspanner was better in my opinion. If you’ve had about time it was similar, but smaller as well. I approve and it’s not bad. Nothing to gag about but it’s pretty good and it’s a lighter einspanner compared to other ppl“

“Congratulations on 10 years!“

“We loved our visit to Camel this morning. I’ve been out of the city for a while and I’m happy to see such a unique shop pop up. It reminded me of Star Wars inside ? obviously desert themed. Super sick. Love the seating upstairs. But most importantly the staff were very pleasant and the coffee was so good. I love when everything works in unison at a shop like that. Perfect americano. The pastries are great also.“

“Serendipitously, I saw information about this place when I was randomly scrolling online.
The food was excellent. I ordered two items to go, the avocado toast and a breakfast burrito. (I should have taken pictures because the items were beautifully presented in addition to being delicious! 🤓)
Beautiful atmosphere. The decor is inviting. Very clean.
It fulfilled and then exceeded my expectations.“

“HOLEY CRAP these are incredible donuts. Who knew the Hawaiian superfood taro could be so delicious? I will most definitely be coming back here for more, even their basic donut offering, the “hot single” is to die for. All donuts are fresh made to order, highly recommend eating them hot. The flavors are orgasmic.“

“This is such a cute cafe! I’ve been twice and will definitely be stopping by when I’m in the area again! I had the Lechera and the Horchata latte, both soooo delicious!! I love the range of flavors they offer. The overnight oats were also really tasty. Definitely recommend, well priced too!“

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

“Very nice ice cream. Rich flavors and smell so good. Also, one scoop is very big. :)“

“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.“
