21 Best Coffee Shops in Venice

“The flat white is world class. It’s the perfectly prepared.

Nicely is a master of his craft. It’s no wonder that true coffee lovers will follow him everywhere.

Ideal atmosphere to enjoy exceptional coffee“

“I love this place. I just visiting La and I’ve been here twice, and both visits were great.

The lavender latte and strawberry matcha are unforgettable. And my big recommendation is a mushroom and salmon pancakes! They are fantastic. Mushroom ones my favorite❤
There’s also a cozy creative space near where you can walk around and look at a garden design workshop — really adds to the vibe. 100 from 10!❤“

“It has the rare ability making you feel both out at a restaurant and being invited into someone’s stylish living room for dinner. Records line the shelves, music spins through the space, and every table seems to be having the exact night out they hoped for.

The crispy rice salad starts things off. Each ingredient earns its place with a honey miso dressing that threads it all together. The pizzas are outstanding. They absolutely deserve the spotlight. Thin crust perfection. Crisp edges, restrained cheese, balanced tomato sauce, exactly enough char underneath. Both the classic and pepperoni pies feel disciplined, making it dangerously easy to finish more slices than intended. For the pasta, the rigatoni bolognese brings al dente cooked pasta coated in a layered, rich meat sauce. The ratio of meat to pasta is spot on, making every bite feel substantial without becoming overly dense. Hearty but never excessive. Dessert arrives as a strawberry ricotta cheesecake that somehow feels light. Creamy ricotta filling, fresh strawberries, strawberry sauce. Not too sweet, not too rich.

Companion gets the details right. The room, the music, the pacing, the service, the food. It’s all welcoming and deeply enjoyable.“

“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.“

“Love the smooth yet strong cortado!👍👍“

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

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

“Great windward punch & oatmilk cappuccino“

“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.“

“I am an LA native, and the coffee scene in the city has ebbed and flowed (no pun intended). Suffice it to say Flō is an exceptional spot. The quality of the espresso shot is never burnt, and the care and attention that is given to each drink is ritualistic. It’s a small team, close quarters, and it creates a convivial atmosphere within the community. For this and many other reasons I highly recommend patronizing Flō - you will not be disappointed.“

“I recently ordered catering from Lokal Venice and it was such a great experience. The place itself is super cute, the interior is really well put together and just beautiful to look at.

This was my first time ordering catering from them, and it was a total success. Everything was delivered right on time, and the presentation was amazing. I ordered burritos and asked them to cut them in half, which made everything look extra neat and organized, perfect for a group setting.

I had quite a few dietary restrictions to accommodate since this was for a Teacher Appreciation Day at a school (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, egg allergies, dairy-free) and they handled everything so well. The communication was easy, they responded quickly to emails, and made the whole process stress-free.

On top of all that, they even let me take their insulated bags to make it easier to transport everything, they just asked me to return them later. I thought that was such a thoughtful and helpful touch.

I 1000% recommend them, and I’ll definitely be ordering from them again for my next catering!“

“chill spot for friendly conversation.“

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

“Love the products and vibe! The tea was pretty good! Not too sweet. So happy to pick up Anna Sui rings and perfume I've wanted for years!! (I've been looking for a place I can see and smell them in person.) Such a treasure trove!!“

“The Boulevard Venice is, for me, the pick of the cafés in LA. Billy Meeks—super cute—is running an amazing establishment. The food, coffee, and atmosphere are flawless. Often in LA, it’s hard to find a place where you genuinely resonate with the community, but Boulevard welcomes you with open arms. The music, the people, the experience—it’s an absolute must, whether you’re visiting LA or lucky enough to live here.“

“Passing this cute cafe for uncountable times, I finally made my way there. Yeah, it's always tricky visiting places at the busiest spot of Venice Beach - joy of finding parking spot in LA! Besides they mostly looked pretty busy on weekends, probably great stop to make while enjoying the stroll by the beach.

Their interior was nothing but SLAY. Period. Contemporary retro vibe, with great ambience to just sit killing time or even get some work done.

For the cup size, the coffee was quite pricey yet the great taste made it worth. I loved their Salted Caramel Latte, which was more on the sweeter side. I have been eyeing their pastries but unfortunately they were all gone when I arrived.“

“the BEST bakery in our venice beach neighborhood. the rolls are simply fantastic. everytime we visit we are treated like family by the staff.

you must try the dark chocolate peanut butter cookie!!

they’re extremely busy all the time, so highly recommend visiting earlier in the day to snag a walnut berry roll! don’t let the line discourage you, it moves quick

very proud of Levain being a big supporter of Venice Run Club 🏃💨“

“Been one of my top picks in west LA area. Have been to multiple outlets of theirs and all my coffee has always been nailed flawlessly. From their Butter Toffee, their popular vanilla, and their new orleans cold brew! The staffs have always been super warm and welcoming as if you’re their everyday regulars. Recently trying their salted caramel latte coming with those cute flowery toppings!“

“I’m forever a customer! Got rear ended on the way to pick up my order and showed up an hour later hoping my drink was still there. They remade it entirely and made sure I was okay before I left. Took everything in me not to cry at the counter - thanks for not taking a chain approach and being kind neighbors :)“
