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!“

“The sandwiches are superb!“

“I highly recommend this Kava bar in Reseda. It's a very unique experience with really delicious kava drinks and shots. The staff is also very friendly and the bar is quite inviting. There aren't too many kava bars in LA and it's nice to see this new gem in the neighborhood. A nice place to chill, and relax at the end of the day with a good kava drink. Bula Vinaka 🤙“

“TLDR: Good coffee, a little pricey. Worth a visit on your Venice beach outing.

I had very high hopes since this place came recommended. However parking is mess so it's not a convenient spot to get by. Also be prepared to wait for as much as 15 minutes, even if 2 people are ahead in the line. The staff takes their coffee seriously and does not take shortcuts.

Their espresso is stellar. Cappuccino is better than average (for the price). Latte is better than average too (for the price). 3 drinks for $30 with tip places this shop at the premium end of the spectrum.

Would I go back? Definitely for the espresso and other drinks that I have not tried, but more likely when I am already in the neighborhood.

Service is friendly and nice. There are signs that discourage you to bring your laptop and prefer that you do not work there. It's meant to spark conversation. I felt welcome and not rushed, even though it was a chaotic visit, 10 minutes before closing.“

“It was about time I wrote a review of this amazing hidden gem! We have been coming here for years, and I cannot explain how amazing everything about this place is. We have tried nearly every boba flavor on the menu & not one has disappointed til today! We have even tried flavors we thought we would not like and we ended up loving. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I wish there was more than 5 stars to rate because this business definitely deserves it. Customer service, quality food and drinks, amazing people! Chicken snacks are sooo delicious if you are ever near or local and have not given this place a try. Even if you aren’t local the drive is definitely worth it 💯💕 Super nice and amazing human beings at this shop that definitely serve the best Boba in the valley! I always make the drive because this is the only place we buy our delicious boba drinks 🙏🏻♥️
Pictures below include a delicious pineapple coconut smoothie w/ lychee and boba.
A grapefruit smoothie w/ boba & a strawberry smoothie! 🥰🙏🏻 & cannot forget to order the chicken snack!“

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

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

“Great spot for a healthy bite in the heart of Santa Monica. It was my first time there and I had to kill some time and ordered a matcha and acai bowl while I did a little work. Both were great and the other food I saw leave the kitchen looked good as well.

The really great part about this place was the super friendly staff and what I assumed were the owners. They were super welcoming and it seemed like a lot of the patrons were regulars and well known to the staff.

It's nice to see a community like that in such a busy part of town. It shows the quality of a place when the residents embrace it and it becomes part of the fabric of a place.

I hope to come back again soon!“

“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“

“This was my first time visiting this cafe, as my friend who lives in Winnetka recommended it after hearing positive reviews. The coffee itself was great! Although, I had a hard time enjoying the turkey sandwich that I ordered. For 9 bucks, I feel as though the sandwich was lacking, especially as the avocado was not distributed evenly and ended up falling out after my first bite. Maybe next time, I’ll get the egg bagel. But overall vibe was nice and the employees were friendly.“

“Should have tried The Bouquet burrito or the Chilaquiles.

FOOD 3/5
It looks better than was it tasted!

Sunflower Avocado Toast - BEAUTIFUL but tasted okay
Mashed avocado, toasted red pepper flakes and blistered teardrop tomatoes topped with sunflower seeds, pickled red onions and micro greens on thick toasted multigrain bread.

Azalea sandwich - HARD PASS FOR ME next time
Smoky chipotle sauce, fried egg, Pepper Jack cheese, caramelized onions, black forest ham, crisp bacon and pico de gallo on a toasted ciabatta.

Black Heart Latte
New recipe made with *black sesame paste,* simple syrup and a little charcoal to keep the same spirit of the original.

SERVICE 4/5
No issues from placing the order to picking up.

AMBIENCE 4/5
Beautiful ambience and love the faux plants and artwork on the wall. They did a great job with the branding throughout and even outside.

PARKING 4/5
Small lot in front and free street parking around“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“🐶 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“

“7 years between visits and still as amazing. The coffee is an experience. An absolute must have.
We also opted for a pear cake , a sprinkle donut and chocolate chip sea salt cookies.
Wish they had a Menotti’s where we live.“

“Enigma Coffee is a true gem! Hands down, the best coffee I’ve ever had — rich, smooth, and full of flavor. Every sip feels like it was made with care and passion.

The shop itself is absolutely beautiful — modern, stylish, and full of light. It’s the kind of place you want to sit and stay awhile. Whether you’re working, meeting a friend, or just treating yourself, the vibe is perfect.

Also love how convenient the parking is — no stress, just park and enjoy. Enigma is now my go-to spot. If you’re a coffee lover, this place is a must. You’ll taste the difference immediately.“

“excellent salad. thank you ben“

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

“Nos atendieron muy bien y la comida es fantástica!!“

“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.“

“Solid breakfast spot with a variety of options. Food is great. Prices are decent. Service is consistent. Parking isn’t the greatest with a small lot and street options. Weekend mornings are busy so if you don’t get there before 9:00am, you’ll likely have a wait“

“This fresh made, warm and healthy donut is phenomenal. Seriously, you can have one and without guilt or regret. Healthy meets most delicious. Do not forget the matcha latte...prob the most incredible invention in history. I love this place ❤️ is a major pit stop when I visit Santa Monica“

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

“Impressed it actually lived up to the hype. The addition of cucumber to their lox bagel was interesting in a good way as it added an earthiness and a thicker bite. I like that the lox wasn’t paper thin and actually had some chew to it — they also tasted exactly like the Kirkland smoked, no shame if it is, it’s the best in the game. I really liked the pickled onion because they add sweetness and acidity as well as the inclusion of lemon zest over juice because it added acidity without unnecessary moisture.
I was also surprised at how much I like The Mia. The avocado was super creamy, perfectly salted and I loved how the Fresno chilis cut through the fat. The greens were also well seasoned and added pepperiness. While I did enjoy the pile of toppings, they just kind of fall off and make the bagel harder to eat than it needed to be.
Layla Bagels is still maybe a bit fancy for my taste, but definitely worth the experience.“

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

“I used to go to the OG location in North Hollywood so I was thrilled when this location opened up. If you love tea, their selection is awesome and they’ll do their own blends that are super refreshing. Their pastry selection is on point and I love that they’ll make breakfast sandwiches. It’s a bummer there isn’t much space to stick around and enjoy your beverage while you work or something, so don’t expect a big space. But it’s still delightful and I’m so glad there’s a good coffee shop in the area that isn’t a giant corporation.“

“We come to Bluestone Lane in Brentwood when we have our appointment in the building. I had to quickly take this picture before we devoured the blueberry muffin. It doesn’t even compare to a Starbucks – – this one here is so amazing! Bryan L. provided friendly, excellent service and even brought the copies out to us. Also, their coffee is excellent. I had a latte my husband had a cappuccino.“

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

“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?“

“Iced Cold Brew was outstanding!“

“The coffee is soooo good- I got an iced vanilla latte with a cream too and my friend got a matcha. The drinks are so good, the coffee had a true coffee taste while still being a sweet latte; most lattes now are sugary and less coffee. The coffee is not comprised at all. Most importantly the owner Nikita(I hope I am spelling his name correctly) was unbelievably kind and generous. I highly recommend this small business coffee shop!“

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

“Absolutely brilliant. Great Guinness“

“En general todo está bueno, en lo personal el café👍“

“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.“

“Simply the best!“

“Had the Thai bowl... YUM!“

“Received a free sample at an event and I'm now hooked! Some of the best coffee I've ever had!“

“One of the most light-filled coffee shops in the Valley with the happiest team of baristas I have ever encountered. The range of seating arrangements makes this my favorite place to get work done when I want to take a break from working from home. My go-to drinks are the hot chocolate and the red velvet lattes! 100/10, highly recommend 😊“

“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 . . .“

“Love this spot, so cute, perfect little stop by and hang. The team inside is too sweet and amazing at their craft. It’s not just a job for them, they’re excited about what they serve.

Sunny & Taylor elevated the short trip for coffee and snacks.

10/10 recommend 7even Seas Coffee Co :)“

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 🤪“

“The best! Worth every penny.“

“Best Fkin NewYork style Pizza in all of Cali hands down and I’m a New Yorker to the core and tried every place north and south of there! Their House special is NOT TO BE MISSED - must get a slice of that or make that a PIE! The owner and staff are amazing too.i have been going since their one in the Palisades that was destroyed in the fires. Make sure you support them“

“Best golden Boba we have found! So much so, always a double serving. You never have to wait long for your drink, the staff are always pleasant, the drink is always just right. My favorite mix is pineapple and mango black tea, slight sugar are regular ice level.“

“Home of my favorite orange pancakes!“
