Very good cappuccino. European taste. Nice vibrant atmosphere
Personally I love Gnarwhal - I don’t live in Santa Monica, but I have been making it a point to stop for years. When I lived in the Valley it was a treat visit and since I moved to The OC and occasionally commute to Malibu it is my favorite stopping point to cut the long drive. They make the best flat white.

Gnarwhal Coffee Co. is a small, modern coffee shop located on the corner of Main and Marine. It's often crowded, especially on weekends. The cortado is highly praised, but the Americano is a bit acidic. The chocolate croissant, or "petit pain au chocolat," is expensive and lacks butter. Despite this, the service and atmosphere are great, capturing the spirit of Venice Beach. The shop has lots of seating both indoor and outdoor, making it a cozy spot to enjoy a drink. Customers say the coffee is delicious, with the cold brew being particularly smooth and free of sour taste. The vibe is fun, and the service is friendly. The cafe offers small tables in the back, bar seating at the front, and outdoor seating, making it easy to find a comfortable spot. There are also discounts for bringing your own cup, and the inside is narrow with limited space to wait, but the overall experience is highly recommended for those visiting the area.
