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!“

“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“

“Love this place, staff is friendly and owners too. coffee is great and I'm very picky about coffee! free Wi-Fi is nice too!“

“This place feels like taking a little trip to Europe right in the heart of Main Street, Santa Monica!

The food is absolutely excellent. Everything we’ve tried has been delicious, but the Burrito Kurito is my personal favorite! The smoothies are rich, fresh, and so yummy.

What makes this place truly special, though, is the people. The staff is incredibly friendly and always goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. They treat you like family, and you leave not only with a full belly but also with a full heart.

It’s a little European getaway in the middle of Santa Monica, with delicious food, a warm atmosphere, and the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back again and again.

They’re also dog-friendly and kid-friendly, with cozy indoor seating and a wonderful patio where you can soak up the Santa Monica sunshine while enjoying your breakfast and coffee.

If you’re looking for the best breakfast in Santa Monica, this is your place! I recommend it to everyone. An absolute must-visit!“

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

Thankk Youuu :)“

“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.“

“One of the best boba places I’ve been too, especially if you’re a Csun student! The smoothies and boba drinks are delicious! 10/10 - the one I got was a mango smoothie with no boba and I highly recommend if your a mango fan!! 👏✨“

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

“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 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 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“

“This place was exceptional. Tucked inside Dudley Market right along the water, it transforms into a coffee shop during the day. I walked in and there was a warm familial vibe between everyone. And a great DJ. Seems like a neighborhood staple. It was just one barista operating the shop, he opened this place four years ago and clearly cares deeply about the craft of coffee!! He was thoughtful and said the quality of beans and where/how they were sourced was important to him. He even sells the beans in vintage VHS movie tapes. The drinks were excellent. I ordered the Cafe Rico. Warm, bold, rich coffee with a hint of orange, vanilla and a thick frothy top sprinkled with cacao. Amazing. No modifications, which feels like the artistry. You drink as it’s intended. I ended up grabbing a cappuccino as well bc my first drink was so impressive and I’d heard rave reviews about this spot. I noticed online there were poor reviews about him specifically being a jerk but he was lovely to me! We had really nice conversation. Little sassy but in a fun way. Like when I ordered the cafe Rico he was like “okay be basic then”. Which I thought was funny. Will definitely be coming back. Can’t wait to try more drinks. Thanks Nicely!! xx“

“The food and service were so so good we went back twice during our vacation. The service was so good everyone helping out! Coffee was hot all the time and just so good!! I drink it black. If you feel up to it get the salsa green homemade and has a nice tiny kick. This is a must stop for a delicious hot fresh and somewhat quickly made breakfast!! Can’t wait to go back!“

“excellent salad. thank you ben“

“The food was very delicious, and I really loved the vibe of the cafe. Everything is white, bright, and beautifully designed, which makes the atmosphere feel very pleasant and stylish.

The service could definitely be better, though. We had to wait quite a while for a plate, and at one point I even had to get up myself to get a spoon. That part was a little disappointing.

Overall, it’s a beautiful place with a great atmosphere and really tasty food. I still enjoyed my experience and would come back for the food and the vibe!“

“This jam is in the neighborhood of my office and I never knew it existed! Great coffee and enjoyed the cappuccino muffin (chocolate in it) and banana nut. Will definitely be back to try their wraps and other foods. Fantastic atmosphere too.“

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

“Fantastic coffee shop with genuinely great food. The breakfast sandwich might honestly be one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. Everything tasted fresh, well-made, and like they actually care about the quality of what they’re serving.

The coffee is excellent as well, but what really makes this place stand out is the combination of great food and incredibly nice people. .

Highly recommend“

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

“Alex and Jordan make the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The bread is baked fresh each morning, and they know how to pair ingredients together to just make them delicious. The sides are spectacular as well. Highly recommend!“

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

“Some places are worth planning a trip around. We found Layla by accident, and now it feels like the destination. No place to sit … people everywhere.

The tuna salad bagel aka The Bruce was exceptionally fresh and perfectly balanced, and the cookie made leaving even harder.

Refined, welcoming, and effortlessly good.“

“The Menemen was absolutely delicious - fresh, flavorful, and almost as good as the one I had in Istanbul! 😊 It reminded me so much of the Bulgarian mish-mash. The oat milk latte was perfectly smooth, too. I’ll definitely be back! ☕❤“

“The best Avocado Toast ever!“

“Great windward punch & oatmilk cappuccino“

“Love NYBD!! Every time I come to Santa Monica I want to visit this place. Great service, yhe freshest bagels, cream cheese, lox, etc. I wish we had one in Austin, TX!!“

“Love the smooth yet strong cortado!👍👍“

“First time here and loved it! Came with 10+ coworkers with no reservation and got lucky they were able to fit us in. It was a little tight and some of us stood, but we didn’t mind since we were all socializing and switching around. Great drinks, great vibes, and everyone had a good time! Definitely coming back with friends and my partner“

“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?“

“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“

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

“One of the best coffee place with good taste and fresh pastries and good attitude ✅“

“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!“

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

“I love this place because it has a down to earth, local feel. It’s not as “vibey” as some of the other local coffee shops, but that’s actually kind of nice because it makes Love feel more relaxed and unpretentious. Lots of people always working on their computers here. I usually bring my dog and they always give her a treat. Very sweet staff!

Their coffee is also really great! The food is okay. I’ve gotten a croissant and pastry and they weren’t that good to me (a little stale/dry), but I’ll definitely keep coming back for the coffee and sweet vibe. :)“

“Great coffee spot near Calabasas and the perfect stop before heading out to the beach. ☕ Service was friendly, the coffee was excellent, and it’s an easy place to grab a drink and get back on the road. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re passing through!“

“The bagels and cream cheese are excellent! Coffee is the best!!!“

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

“It was a little expensive for a coffee shop. I recommend serving smaller portions for a lower price.“

“The best! Worth every penny.“

“I came for a slice of the Truffle & Pepperoni with Hot Honey. Upon ordering I was curious as to what a cannoli was being that I’ve never had one in my 26 years of living. A nice man named Robert gave me one on the house so I can experience my first Cannoli! Great Pizza, great Cannoli, and great customer service!

“the lattes here are some of the best lattes, and i’m addicted to coffee & love exploring coffee shops. their baklava latte and saffron rose latte are the best! the atmosphere is super cute & aesthetically pleasing so that’s a plus. i definitely recommend stopping by at the shop whether it’s to grab & go or to sit and relax with a nice cup of something delicious 😌“

“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 . . .“

“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!“

“I ordered the 22 TW Champion Milk Tea with brown sugar boba, and I absolutely loved it!
Using red oolong instead of the usual black tea gives the drink a unique depth of flavor that’s smooth, fragrant, and not overly sweet. The brown sugar boba had the perfect chewy texture and paired beautifully with the tea.
Overall, it’s a fantastic drink in a great location, and I’ll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu.“
