“4++ great neighborhood coffee shop that has fun, chill vibes, and enthusiastic service. There's fun decor inside and looks like a place where people can hang out or get some reading and/or work done. I only got an Americano or drip from here (with added cream), so I can't really speak to the food items or any of the more complex, possibly more sugary drinks here. It looks like they roast their own beans here as well. I had a lot of coffee at home at the time of my visit, so I didn't buy a bag. I might have to come back and grab one. Parking was easy to find. There's a lot on the side of the building. If the lot is full, I'm pretty sure you could find street parking close by.“
“I've been here quite a few times now when in the area. I love they offer different sizes for their drinks unlike other coffee shops with just a standard cup. I'd say the drinks are on the sweeter side but can be modified. The service is okay depending on who is there. My favorite was the coconut Vietnamese latte, my daughter had a caramel frappe which was pretty good. Pour over coffee also great just takes longer to brew of course.“
“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.“
“I recently stopped by the coffee shop in South LA, and I have to say, their cafe de olla left quite an impression. It was a delightful experience, with the coffee being not only delicious but also incredibly smooth. It's safe to say that this spot is a hidden gem in LA, and I'll definitely be returning for more of that amazing brew.“
“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.“
“I ordered a matcha latte and a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel with egg, cheese and avocado instead of bacon. The matcha was mediocre because of the quality but the barista did an excellent job making it with cinnamon and honey. Just couldn't taste much of the matcha flavor itself. The breakfast sandwich was incredible! Bagel perfectly crispy warm on the outside and soft inside, tomato jam incredible flavor. This place is a hole in the wall so not much space to sit except for some benches outside with a stunning view of the ocean. I went early morning around 8am on a weekday. It's a great grab and go location for locals or someone stopping by the area. Baristas were very friendly and chatted with everyone which created a welcoming atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Fantastic quality of coffee and pastries. I know it's like 300 feet from a Starbucks but this place will blow starbucks away. The atmosphere is relaxing and fun at the same time. Their coffee was delicious and they have some really good pastries. I absolutely recommend this place.Dietary restrictions: Offers milk alternativesKid-friendliness: Has a kid drink menu“
“In Short,It’s a good coffee shop in a good location.With a few more details,Coffee is good. Matcha Latte was good did not need to be sweetened.They seemed to have a good amount of pastries in glass box which protects it and looks good too. Only problem was it had a tiny bug flying around in it. Wasn’t a deterrent honestly. It happens.I tried the almond croissant. The paste inside was amazing and very delicious, but the croissant was a bit too crunchy and hard in some bites which made me think that it was a bit old. It was still good but the coffee and other factors it keeps this place at 4 stars.Decor looked clean and bright and fresh.Staff was helpful and friendly.I like the standing room area. Maybe add another standing bench like that outside too. Just an idea.Location was great for people watching or doing some work (if you find a seat) while being close to the pier and the beach or just meeting someone and hanging out.Also pretty central to grab coffee and continue walking alongside the green belt or boardwalk.Anyway I enjoyed this spot.“

“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!“
