20 Best Coffee Shops in Venice

“Sophia was an INCREDIBLE server, whilst the food was phenomenal she made the entire experience so special and worth every penny. Highly recommend for a special occasion or elegant but still slightly casual date night. Will definitely be coming back and hopefully with miss Sophia as our server again!“

“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.“

“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“

“Love the smooth yet strong cortado!👍👍“

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

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

“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.“

“I am not a latte guy, but after the vanilla latte I had at Caspian Coast Coffee, I am now unfortunately addicted. It is so delicious with the cream top and a touch of cinnamon. The place is also lovely and welcoming. Great staff, and Rahi the owner makes everyone feel special. Really great addition to the neighborhood of Venice.“

“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!!“

“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 :)“
