Matcha sucks. Staff energy is indeed snobby and they instantly poured my matcha drink into a cup once I bought the drink which was odd. No making it fresh at all. Service was mid to say the least.

Never have I ever experienced this before at any coffee shop. I was there on Tuesday afternoon and I ordered my usual chai latte. I don't know why but the barista that was making my drink kept throwing the shaker full of milk and ice in the air and doing flips with it. I was really scared that it was gonna open up mid air and splash everyone. It fell on the floor and got matcha all over my two chihuahuas. They were soggier than the sandwich I ordered. I've never felt more embarrassed to be a Venician in my life. 5/5 stars love this place!

There is a very nice live/work loft vibe to this place that works. I think that everyone seems to be working on something or at least working very hard to seem like that they are working on something. The people at the front are very knowledgable so please ask questions about the beverages. The food is above average but nothing to write home about. The croissant was on point but I expected that. The cinnamon roll was average. What I wanted to point out, and it the reason for the 5 stars, is the preparation of the tea. I have been a client of Teance, one of the best tea shops in the Bay Area, and I would argue, California. I have seen tea preparation done the right way in their shop. Intelligentsia prepares tea the right way. I asked for the Gui Fea Oolong tea. They took five minutes to actually put the tea leaves in the cup at the right temperature and slowly put the tea in the teapot. A dedicated staff had to do this in order to do this right. I respect the dedication. Not just put a tea bag in boiling water and call it a day. Respect your clients. Respect the product. Respect the tradition. So I enjoyed the tea and wanted to make sure that the effort is acknowledged. Also the service was very good. Not a hint of attitude in anyone I have interacted with.

Walked in on a Monday at 11am and asked for a cold brew. They said they were out of cold brew. A coffee shop out of cold brew coffee. At 11am. On a weekday. I think I have said enough.

Overall, the aesthetics are quite nice and the shop is located on a cute street in Venice. We ordered the matcha oat latte and the avena latte (a signature latte they have). The matcha oat is very standard tasting, not quite worth it for their price range. However, I did really enjoy the Avena latte! The subtle hints of orange peel, ginger, and cinnamon were all there but it still had a latte feel which was great! The cayenne pepper on top was not very spice so for those worried about that, it's a pretty cool kick to the flavor of the drink!

Intelligentia Coffee is a successful specialty coffee business.There aren't many stores in the US either. The first overseas store opened in Korea on February 24th.I came here with high expectations, but the atmosphere is very different from Korea. I come alone and mostly work with my laptop. So, the seating structure is such that you have to sit side by side facing forward. I ordered Brewed coffee, which is famous for its specialty coffee beans, but it uses FETCO's drip machine instead of hand drip. I didn't ask what the coffee beans were today, but I liked the acidity and white peach flavor and aroma. If you order the Brewed to order menu, a separate drip is provided, but that is also a machine drip. That part is disappointing compared to the Blue Bottle. The espresso machine uses La Marzocco. We also sell coffee beans and goods. They also sell various drip tools, but I doubt they will sell as they are just branded products.The coffee is definitely delicious, but I think Blue bottle coffee is better in many ways.
This Venice location has qualified baristas. Consistently good quality. This place is a heaven for MacBook lovers.

I made an order and paid online. I drove to the store to pick it up and found out that they sold everything and didn't set my order aside. Got a refund, but went all the way there for nothing. Kyla at the register was careless and clueless.Irresponsible of her not to set the order aside, before selling everything.

I just ordered a 5 dollar coffee with heavy cream. They do not have heavy cream so I just went with half n half. Coffee was the worst I have ever had. I would rather have Folgers Instant.
