“Love this place and all the seating options. I only have 1 complaint which is the menu wording - “+ your choice of milk!” makes people assume alt milk is free when it’s 50c extra. We already know we have choice of milk!! just include it in the price or take it off the menu lol“

“I recommend Botanica to everyone. They use fresh hand picked ingredients and the food is delicous! Their cocktails and desserts are so yum. I picked up some chile oil and pickled local veggies for gifts for my friends! Chef Zarah and the staff are best. Will definitely be returning soon.“

“**A sweet slice of heaven in Santa Monica!** Junior Cookies is an absolute *gem*. I came in for the cookies (which are AMAZING – warm, gooey, and perfectly crisp on the edges), but I stayed for the whole vibe. Their ice cream is ultra creamy with rich, dreamy flavors that pair perfectly with the cookies—highly recommend making your own cookie cream with ice cream with cookies! I was also pleasantly surprised by how good their coffee is. It’s bold, smooth, and just what I needed to balance out the sugar rush. Honestly, it’s rare to find a cookie shop where the coffee actually stands out, but Junior Cookies gets it right. Best coffee, best cookies, best matcha, and best ice cream in la! The place is super cute inside, with a cozy neighborhood feel and friendly staff who seem genuinely happy to be there. You can tell everything is made with love. The cookies and recipes are unique. 5 star bakery in LA. If you're in Santa Monica, **don’t miss this spot**. Whether you’re craving dessert, a caffeine fix, or just want to treat yourself, Junior Cookies delivers!“

“Wow, randomly popped in for a matcha, & it's spectacular 👏
I got the Magic Matcha with pistachio milk & added cardamom. Beautiful flavor, consistency, & texture.
The cafe vibes are also very cool 😎👌“

“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 Cognoscenti Coffee on our interview date. Modern meets comfort with a hint of retro inside (and outside) Culver City’s Cognoscenti Coffee. Don’t let its small exterior fool you, because once you step inside you will be welcomed by a slew of cute bistro tables, industrial benches, and colorful chairs. But wait, there’s more! Veer to the right and catch a breath of fresh air in their somewhat secluded patio area. Whether you’re meeting with your bestie or having a writer’s meeting, you will easily be able to find a space to fit however many people in your party. Now let’s get to the good stuff! Cognoscenti’s beverage menu is comprised of the classics along with fun seasonal recipes in the mix. My drink of choice, the surprisingly refreshing Turmeric Latte. I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting myself into, but I’m very glad that my day to be adventurous was an enjoyable one with its perfect ratio of milk to spice. Hungry? Check out their selection of huge (and I mean huge) pastries to fill you up for breakfast or to hold you over until your group dinner in one of the Downtown Culver restaurants.“

“I love Freddo. Their coffee and ice cream are fantastic (I love all of their Dulce de Leche flavors). Their empanadas, medialunas, and alfajores are great too. The people working there is nice and friendly. There is a nice patio in the back too. Parking can be tricky but you can always find a spot if you move away from Ventura. It’s open late too, so if you are looking for a espresso in the evening, this may be just the place for you“

“I've been there with my sister a couple months ago. We had Filipino iced coffee, matcha affogato and matcha cookies. We still can't forget the flavor of the drinks. Filipino iced coffee is our core memory of our trip to USA. The best coffee we've ever tasted.“

“Stopped by Be Bright Coffee and ordered a cortado made with their Colombia Paola Trujillo Wush Wush Natural. The coffee had tasting notes of blood orange, red currant, honeysuckle, and tart cherry juice, which made it a really interesting coffee to experience in a milk drink.
The cortado itself was very well executed. The milk had a smooth, creamy texture with strong integration, and the body remained cohesive throughout most of the drink. As I worked my way through it, the espresso and milk continued to hold together nicely without developing a thick or separated layer of foam. The tasting notes had good clarity and came through well in the milk. The latte art could have been a little cleaner and more defined, but that’s a minor presentation detail and didn’t take away from the quality of the drink.
My main technical feedback would be the temperature. It was served just slightly hotter than I think it should have been. The flavors were still clear from the beginning, but the difference became noticeable as the cortado cooled. The coffee really opened up, and those fruit-forward characteristics became even more expressive and enjoyable. Starting the drink at that slightly lower temperature would have made the experience feel more dialed in from the very first sip.
I gave Be Bright four stars, and part of that comes down to the $10 price of the cortado. At that price point, I think the expectations naturally move into a different category. When you’re paying $10 for a cortado featuring a coffee like this, I’m expecting the execution to be as close to perfect as possible. The slightly higher serving temperature, along with the minor presentation detail, was enough to keep this one from reaching that level for me.
The customer service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and the person working the register was especially nice and made the experience feel inviting. Overall, it was a very good cortado with quality coffee behind it, and I’d definitely return to try some of the other beans they offer.“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“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“

“If you’re a coffee lover, definitely give this place a try.
They really know how to brew specialty coffee right. This is the kind of coffee you should be able to drink completely plain and still enjoy. It’s not too bold, not bitter, and you can actually notice different layers of flavor in the cup.
I know there are other places in LA doing this style of coffee, but in my opinion Intelligensia is by far the best one.“

“Pretty good! The dan dan noodle tasted great. The wonton soup was okay and the beef roll was a little lacking on meat. The Taiwanese sausage seemed a bit small for $7 but was pretty good.
Overall very reasonable prices and the food is pretty decent.“

“Grade A+ (96): Small little kitchen, don't know how much food can come out of it!! They have a small little sitting area, but we most often do it as take out. The Jambon Beurre (Ham and Butter) are my favorite, the Baguette 🥖 is awesome and they put a hefty amount of butter and French Ham very thinking sliced. The Ham & Cheese and the Chocolate Croissants are very good but you have to go early, by 12:30 they were sold out! The guys are very friendly, prices are a bit on the high side but what can you do, it's unique.“

“Came for aperitivo/apericena to vibe and get some work done. The patio was fun and our waiter was super kind. A chef stepped out with a dish and was taking photos outside, and on his way back we asked if it was new. He offered us the plate and told us it's coming onto the fall menu in a couple weeks. Super fun to try a new dish. We spent a couple hours of hanging, munching, and working here... will return!“

“*This is a cashless operation*
I walk in and 무풍상태 by Happy End Plus Alpha is playing. I think to myself someone here has great taste in music.
Three guys are standing behind the counter and all three instantly greet me and are super friendly. Explaining the menu and what they think I should try.
I took their suggestions and went with it.
All of their coffee has at least 3-4shots of espresso so be prepared to be full of energy.
Sorry I didn’t get a picture of the menu I was too busy in conversation with the baristas.
This place is easy to miss and pass by.
If you’re headed down Sunset and see that little green building make sure you stop. This might be one of the best coffee spots in the area.“
“The coffee here is so delicious. I’m visiting from out of town and have tried both the Pistachio Latte and the Tiramisu Latte and wow, I was really impressed. The coffee flavor really comes through in both of these drinks. Definitely recommend.“

“Found this spot unexpectedly and so far so good. I’ve had the banana latte, pistachio latte and have tasted the hazel coconut latte as well. All really delicious. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. The shop itself is super chill and quiet. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place to get some work done without loud distraction. Love the jazz music they play. Pull up! 🙏🏻🤍“

“I love this place and come constantly. The food and service are fabulous. The staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is so beautiful. I really wanted to give five stars, but I just wish the owner would fix the A/C. I feel really bad that the staff have to work in such hot temperatures in the summer, especially the gentleman working the grill. Please fix it for them and I'll be happy to leave another 5-star review :)“

“I’ve had this coffee shop on my list and finally went this week. I had brunch nearby so I just walked 6 minutes to this shop so I didn’t have to move my car , so I cannot speak as to the parking situation. As soon as you walk in, the vibe is so cool. The vibrant funky colors of the 70’s era was cool. They had Tarantino movie memorabilia all over the shop. It was quiet enough to have a conversation. I saw two other people working on their laptops. There’s outdoor seating but it was over 95 degrees this day so we opted for the cool AC indoors.
I ordered the brown Suga cinnamon iced lattes with oat milk and omg I’m still thinking about that latte. It was soo good. Not too sweet and not strong. It was just well balanced and had plenty of cinnamon which if you’re a cinnamon fan, this is gonna be the drink for you. I would come here again for sure and order the same thing. I don’t even wanna try anything else. It was just that deliciously made.“

“We Puffy Heart Fan Girl Cafe“
“Sarah is such a sweetheart! I’m not sure if she owns or manages this location, but she was delightful either way. I tried an espresso to see if I liked the flavor & ended up not being a fan of it. The espresso is fine, I think I prefer a different flavor profile. She offered me another espresso to try and I liked it better! To top it off, she let me take a bag of espresso home to try, just because she likes coffee & sharing it with the community. The baristas were very nice as well and overall this was a great experience. Thank you Sarah!“

“Came in for the first time and the cafe had such a nice atmosphere surrounding it. The latte I ordered was delicious and had a wonderfully tasting espresso. I also got one of their lunch sandwiches along with some fries which were both crafted beautifully and not what I was expecting from a cafe. I had to end it with a pastry because they all looked so yummy and the one I chose definitely met that standard. Staff was friendly and helpful as well. From someone who also works in a very similar environment and can be picky, it was very much worth it. I do recommend and will 100% be back!“
“One Scape is by far one of my favorite coffee shops to visit. It is such a relaxing atmosphere. All the baristas are extremely friendly and just amazing. If the coffee doesn't make your day, they will. If you are more so a coffee drinker their cold brew and hot lattes are great. If looking for something sweet or coffee alternative the pine refresher is a must and they can always adjust the sweetness. Definitely a place to stop by and stay awhile.“
