20 Best Coffee Roasters near Santa Monica

“I had another review of my direct personal experience at this Cafe Luxxe posted here that Yelp has now removed saying that it wasn't based on my personal experience of this business which was not the case as clearly stated in the review. If Yelp can't see fit to repost that review, then I'll be forced to stop using Yelp. Yelp has been known for being willing to post the good and the bad but now I see that is not the case.“

“Good coffee and simple interior design. Will be coming back to try signature drinks and pour-overs. The baristas behind the bar were kind and caring. Even chatting with other customers they kept working and I got well-balanced espresso. Will be coming back with friends to try their pour-over and signature drinks menu.P.S. I hope the owner will add his winning USBC signature drink to the menu. So that not only judges but we all can try it:)Kid-friendliness: They have a small area for kids to play“

“5 stars for their drinks, I have been enjoying Erin's coffee since he was at the farmers market in Redondo Beach before he opened up his locations. I'm so happy for him and it's a very encouraging to see everything he has accomplished! Love all the decor especially the RV in the back patio such a nice touch! Service on the other hand, maybe it was just my experience but I would go to the farmers market every Thursday morning for his Chipotle Mochas and they were ice blended and my husband and I fell in love with them. And we work close by to Alana's so around Covid time up until recently we would go into work and would always postmates from there and always order the chipotle mocha ice blended and on Monday April 29 at 11ish we finally went into the shop in person and ordered our drink and shortly after the barista asks "ice blended?" And then continues on saying "like all blended and sh*t" and then pointed right at me and my husband and said "this is you guys?". I felt so awkward and just sat there feeling horrible and I absolutely love this drink but now I don't know if I want to go through the embarrassment again. Very unprofessional and inappropriate language.“

“I'm travel for work and pleasure and I'm always looking for a coffee shop with good vibes. In the US, it's rare to find a black woman owned coffee shop that also roast their own beans! These ladies know their beans! You will feel welcome when standing outside, and then when you go in, the love will comfort you like a hug. They have the best Guatemalan roast, I've found in this country from east to west and north to south! If you don't believe me, then try them out.“

“03/26/2024 my first time visiting this coffee shop the employees super friendly and welcoming They are cool and they give me good advice for coffee and what's popular They have all kind of milk just if you have specific order There's street parking and rear parking too The coffee shop look vintage super clean , smells fresh I got chocolate scones with cold brewed coffee with splash of half& half My friend got iced cold brew coffee with almond milk And Cinnabon so good“

“Where was the option for me to give 5 stars for the vibe? I freaking love this place. Everyone who works there is great, the house-made dog treats are fire (ask my pup), the bagels and pastries are next level, and the coffee/tea is great.Stay away from the everything bagels. Those are for me only :P. Kidding. They are my #1 favorite item.“

“Located on Constellation boulevard, in Century City, is Farm Cup Coffee. A coffee hub that offers bowls, sandwiches, salads, and much more. As I walked in, I was immediately greeted. I had an idea of what I wanted, but I did not quite make my decision until I was inside. I am embarrassed as I can not remember the persons name, but their vibe was irresistible, like sunshine. I ordered the NOT ANOTHER BREAKFAST BURRITO that was made vegan. I am happy to report they do a great job showing items that are vegan and or have vegan options. The burrito was delicious. It had roasted corn pico, black beans, tofu, and chipotle aioli. I could not wait to make it disappear. I finished a little over half, as it was quite filling. Nevertheless, I devoured it, like a lady of course. Everything was clean and in place. Next time I have my eyes on the Breakfast hash, avocado toast, and a spot of tea.

“While vacationing we like to find local small businesses. I am so glad we found offset. We ate breakfast here every morning. We had the lox, avocado toast and an egg and bacon biscuit. These delicious dishes were made with fresh ingredients and were also visually appealing. The coffee is roasted here providing the best quality product. The talented baristas are super friendly and able to answer your questions. Ample parking is available next to the building and handicap parking and ramp are out front.“

“This was a solid coffee shop I popped in for a black coffee and a mocha and this hit the spot. I'd say the mocha was better than my coffee but they still used a high quality bean for my coffee. Great if you're in the area and looking for a Starbucks “

“Excellent coffee with a lovely, quiet patio filled with beautiful succulents. There are great options for coffee nerds who want to taste single origin pourovers. Our hotel was about a 12 minute walk to Alana's. Had I not convinced my husband to try some new places, he would have gone here every day.“

“These folks are my kind of coffee nerds, great diversity of lighter roasted beans, they seem to have a soft spot for interesting beans, natural process, honey washed, neat co-ferments. Everything they make is expertly crafted, drinks or beans.“

“The store has been around for 30 years. They roast their own coffees and they have many great selection, including the un-roasted ones. I bought Indigo after reading a review, and it is a strong aromatic coffee for espresso. I really like it. And so does my partner. They also host an baristas class sometimes (check their web) which I someday should attend :) Tips: bring cash for a discount. They give you 1 to 5 bucks (depending on size) discounted price for customers paying with cash“

“This location is so cozy & adorable + the interior design is so lovely!! The staff is kind and they prepared my toast super quick. The manager at this location is also awesome! Their presentation and aesthetic is so clean. I loved working here on a quiet weekday, it was super chill. I also LOVE their Ginger Turmeric Latte, it taste like chai but has no caffeine! The D'Lox toast was super fresh, tasty, and filling. They also sell local refrigerated snacks. The ingredients taste fresh so prices are fair for the ambiance & quality of the food. I like love they're women-owned and they source m their coffee ethically from women-owned farms!“

“Got a classic latte it was pretty good. The almond milk is an extra $2 which I think is a bit much. They had some tea cakes that also looked good but were pricey as well. The service was friendly and is a nice spot. Also outdoor seating provided and they have some more eating options like avocado toast etc.“

“The stars of the shop were the two gentlemen working the bar. They were so so kind, they greeted everyone who walked through with a huge smile on their faces and were kind and helpful if we asked questions. I came on a Sunday so I unfortunately couldn't see the little shop they're next to but, the coffee shop itself is still so cute with big windows & plenty of seating. We got some pastries. The savory chorizo-filled type pastry was so delicious! Their cold-brew is fantastic!! Drinks are not that sweet so if you're into sweet stuff, beware. My friend wished her latte was sweeter. I got a cold brew latte without sweetener and it was the best cold brew I've had in LA. The two gentlemen from earlier deserve a raise!!!“

“I go here to buy coffee beans and have their espresso every time I go. The beans are very good except their decaf beans which I didn't like all that much. They serve espresso with sparkling water and a piece of chocolate which makes my day. However I have also been to the Culver City branch and I felt that one is just better when it comes to espresso.“

“I was visiting from outside of town looking for a good coffee to try in the morning. Any coffee house with the word 'roasters' in the name always enticed me to try it versus a regular coffee shop. Parking is not ideal so I recommend just going for street parking instead of attempting to drive in their little lot. It is shared with 2 other businesses and there's only 2 spaces actually reserved for the coffee house. It is a decent sized space with lots of seating available, especially for those that opt to work there. Can't comment on whether there are a lot of outlets available or not cause I was just in and out. But it is very quiet and calming space, very welcoming and would be a great place to sit and work at. There is just one register to order at and the cashier was very friendly and helpful when inquiring about their menu. I ordered the espresso dul'sal: an iced espresso that's whipped with cream and sugar, with a sprinkle of black salt on top to finish it off. HOLY COW I love this drink so much. The texture was creamy and velvety, like drinking a cloud! It wasn't overly sweet and the salt was such a nice pairing. I will never try another drink on this menu because it is my new obsession. When ordering there's a giant pastry cabinet next to the register and it's hard to ignore all of the goodies in there. I got a banana chocolate chip coffee cake and they warmed it up for me. It was so light and fluffy, not crazy sweet and the chocolate balanced everything out. Super good but I would still like to try other pastries they offer. This is my new go to when I'm in LA!“

“Parkings not the best , free if you snag a spot in the lot & meter street parking. Hospitable professional staff. Clean bathroom. Ample tables/ seating. Impressive pastry selection. Cute retail area. Yummy strong iced coffee (don't remember price) Will recommend & return if need be.“

“This is a really nice café right on Sunset Boulevard! We just recently stopped in for the first time and were very happy with everything. The inside was very nice and clean, service was great, and drinks tasted really good! We got an iced green tea and an iced caffé nico - espresso, candied orange, half & half, and cinnamon. The tea was pretty good, but the coffee really was the star of the show. I always like unique coffee drinks and the orange with cinnamon definitely satisfied! We were in and out nice and quickly, though this would be a great place to sit for a while and hang out with your friends. There is complimentary parking in a lot right outside, and overall no complaints! We will definitely return next time we’re in the area.“

“Smokey Hollow is convenient, quick and has an ambiance that is super chill and welcoming. The cafe is located in a building that’s walking distance from everything so no matter where I order from, my food will be hot and ready. If the food is not ready, there is a courtyard there where you can play ping pong, corn hole, or miniature golf while waiting. Plus the staff Johnny and Kush need a shoutout as they are pleasant and make amazing coffee drinks. I love working in this building and this one of the best amenities offered so prop to the building management team as well!“
