50 Best Coffee Shops near Topanga

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

“I had the best quiche EVER at the Waterlily. The staff are knowledgeable and kind, the food is delicious and reasonably priced, and it is in a very calm and serene area in Topanga Canyon. The next time I’m in the LA area, this will be a revisited spot!“

“This place is incredible, highly recommend! Amazing drinks, atmosphere and people! Kava is an excellent alternative to alcohol and I loved the Green Goblin drink which is a combination of Kava and Kratom. You can't find anything like it anywhere else! Check it out and enjoy!“

“This coffee shop became the star of our trip. We stopped here on our way down to Newport with my kids and parents. The coffee and hot chocolate were so good, my kids and parents are begging to drive up from our Newport rental just to stop here again. The barista really cared about his craft, which is not something we see a lot of where we are from. This random stop for coffee was such a highlight for my family and we will definitely go out of our way to come here again next year.“

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

“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 :)“

“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!!“

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

“Was in the area, needed breakfast. Luckily this place was around the corner! DELICIOUS coffee! And that's coming from an ex Barista of 12 years). Was so pleased to see warm breakfast options on a cold rainy morning. Had the bacon egg everything bagel with cream cheese. Even my partner who doesn't normally enjoy breakfast ate half my sandwich. Cute interior though we didnt eat in. Try the Abelita's chocolate pumpkin coffee warm! 10/10!“

“Not a single complaint. The lavender raf is better than any raf or lavender latte I've tried, and the fig leaf cold brew would top my list of cold brews. Service was friendly, latte art was great, and even the packaging & branding are memorable. If there's better coffee in LA, I haven't found it yet“

“Kafe K was absolutely incredible! The level of service they provided clearly reflects that everyone I met genuinely loves their work. I had a few hours to spare, and they ensured I was completely taken care of, even offering me a sample of their delicious smoothie (thank you!). I also observed that each customer who walked in was greeted with big smiles. The atmosphere was warm and inviting every single time. This truly demonstrates the love and patience each team member has for their role. Coming from out of town, I found the friendliness here to be a refreshing change. Without a doubt, it’s the best cafe I’ve been too in a very long time. They also offer vegan options like the yummy avocado toast, which was perfect for me. Overall, it’s a solid 10 across the board. Thank you to everyone at Kafe K! I’ll definitely stop by again the next time I’m in town. Plus, they're dog-friendly and even provide water and food for your furry friends. I loved my experience here! Thank you for allowing me to stay as long as I needed. You are all amazing!“

“My bf & I have been coming here for going on 5 or 6 years now & aren't gonna stop bc this place is just that good & way better than any boba shop around!! The owners are very kind, sweet & have a great memory bc they know our orders by heart & other customers as well lol The drink I get too was bc I came to the owner asking him if he can make this drink I tried at a convention & he made his version which was wayy better. I love this place & will continue to recommend & show people 💗💗“

“The coffee itself is good and clearly made with quality beans.
However, the overall atmosphere didn’t feel quite right. The service felt distant, and the staff didn’t seem particularly happy or engaged, which affected the experience more than expected.

A café can have great coffee, but warmth and energy matter too. Hopefully this improves over time.“

“After reading Google Reviews, this place was on our list for breakfast while visiting Calabasas. It's really an old diner with good old fashioned breakfast. Service was really good, breakfast was great and selection on the menu was awesome. While we got lucky finding a parking spot on a busy Sunday morning, I can see where that could be an issue.“

“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.“

“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.“

“It’s so crucial to start your day right as it reflects in your mood through the rest of the day. Selina at Blue Bottle Venice does exactly that. We were visiting LA for 4 days and she was a breath of fresh air on a smoggy morning, took the time out to have a meaningful conversation with us while making us some really good coffee. She even remembered our names when we came two days later for a coffee. Small things like this go a long way and she is the reason why we loved our mornings in LA.“

“Excellent customer service!! Great coffee and pastry, thank you 😁“

“Great espresso nice vibes“

“I grew up going to hearts every week dad as a kid and today now that my dad is and I am grown the place looks the same and is perfect just like my childhood memories!“

“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.“

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

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

“excellent salad. thank you ben“

“I love Yonder’s hot and cold beverages! Their pastries are delicious!“

“This is a good coffee spot. Neat interior, friendly staff. Only ever eaten the tater tots, I'll bet they're frozen store-brand tots but they were gas nonetheless, especially with the sauce they serve them with.

Espresso is good. The signature black heart is good also. Most recently I asked the guy taking my order what's better, their signature or the golden latte, and he told me the golden is less sweet and more healthy. I tried it, and indeed, it was real good, and tasted pretty healthy.

9/10 will be coming back. They serve full, like actual meals here too so when I get one of those I'll come back and update to an 8/10 or 10/10.“

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

“Stopped here on the way to the airport and I was not disappointed! I had a ham, cheese, mushroom and onion omelette (not on the menu exactly) with country potatoes and it was delicious! The coffee was good, the food came fast and got and the server was great. I'll be eating here again when I'm back in town. But they are cash only, luckily I had some on hand . . .“

“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.“

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

“I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Caffe Luxxe on our interview date. L.A. based small batch coffee roaster Caffe Luxxe is wonderful example of what can grow from the powerful bond of friendship, specifically one that spans decades like that of owners Mark Wain and Gary Chau. Taking the chance to quit their corporate jobs in 2006, they’ve been able to fuel their business from their personal relationship and their love for European luxury caffe culture. A fun fact, Caffe Luxxe is the first of its kind in L.A. for artisan coffee preparation, and boy golly, it is not one to miss at any of its So Cal locations. The coffee world is your oyster when picking your beverage of choice from their delectable menu of drips, pour overs, and a unique variety of Bevande Di Caffe (including a chocolate-y shaken Caffe Shakerato, a sparkling espresso Caffe Frizzante, and a spiced citrus Caffe Nico). If seasonal specials are your thing, have no fear, because they’ve got those covered too! What more could you ask for?“

“Fun place, great food/coffee , great energy without all the excessive pretentious weirdness. The most authentic and sincere business in that area.“

“The deliciousness NEVER dissapoints! The green juice and green bars are always our go to's but we were so happy a few weeks ago that we could once again get guarana juice too and today having brought home a rosemary and olive foccacia WOW that will also now be part of our weekly grab from The Beaches Farmers Market! Mouth watering...I've had 2nd and 3rd helpings. Love your offerings!“

“First of all, Great customer service, and they are quick with the drinks.

All teas are fresh brewed which made my Thai Tea boba outstanding, I also was able to lessen the sugar which made the Tea flavor stand out more. Much appreciated.

My wife loved the Peach Yakult with boba and her Monster Boba Latte.

I like that they have a variety of teas and not just Jasmine and Thai Tea.

Seating is plenty and and great music and atmosphere.

I highly recommend.“

“🐶 I am always going with my owner Ben and regardless of how busy it is, the staff always take a second to show me some love and I get free snacks! #woofwoof“

“su calidad del café es muy diferente a los demás su calidad de café es muy diferente a los demás competencia“

“Always extremely friendly team members here. Today especially I want to thank Trevor I believe he said his name was. My wife had a cup that someone threw out and he went out of his way to find this unique cup and get us one. Give this man a raise! He just made mine and my wife’s day!“

“My favorite place to get coffee. Have a few specialty drinks I toggle between that are my favorites. They have some unique and delicious muffins and a chocolate chip cookie to die for. I think the cookie is gluten-free....but you wouldn't know. Its so tasty. Was so happy to find this gem 7 years ago and have been going there ever since“

“Super friendly staff and great coffee!!! Highly recommend:)“

“Cool place to get Argentinean goodies... Gaby, the owner, is the best! My family loves her 🥰🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷“

“Really unique donuts made from taro root. They are smaller but made fresh to order. One is enough for a sweet treat but if you’re hungry get 2. They have unique flavors like black sesame banana brûlée. Also some cool merch and Hawaiian goods.“

“Home of my favorite orange pancakes!“

“Simply the best!“

“Matcha review: I am YET to try a bagel which is embarrassing for obvious reasons, but Layla has an excellent matcha. Their cream top slaps, if you do dairy. Otherwise they have a solid regular matcha latte, hot or iced. The atmosphere is so bright and uplifting, and there is literally always a crowd/line (in a good way). I think it speaks for itself. Even weekdays are popping, but the line is totally doable. I come for matcha from time to time, but can’t wait to be back for a bagel because they look bomb.“

“I would give this place 10 stars if I could!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful ambiance, blocks from the beach, delicious coffee, great vegan options, and the best service! They treat you like family 🤗 Emily is AWESOME and treats all the customers like kings and queens 🙏🙏🙏 Always love coming here and instantly puts me in a better mood 🤪“

“Iced Cold Brew was outstanding!“

“Fantastic locally owned neighborhood coffee bar. The quality of the coffee is unmatched. Everything is made in house, in small batches, and the effort really shows. Also the owner is lovely and super knowledgeable! If you’re in the area, it’s absolutely worth checking out.“

“The best! Worth every penny.“

“Love the new location! The staff are really friendly and the drinks are great. I also love all of the events hosted here, you can tell they're all about community and bringing people together, it's impossible not to want to support a business like this.“
