The coffee itself is good and clearly made with quality beans. However, the overall atmosphere didn’t feel quite right. The service felt distant, and the staff didn’t seem particularly happy or engaged, which affected the experience more than expected.
A café can have great coffee, but warmth and energy matter too. Hopefully this improves over time.

$7 for a mediocre Matcha latte. Asked it they could make it stronger they charged me another $4. Didn’t end up helping much

I’ve never tried the food here, but the coffee alone earns it high praise. Menotti’s consistently serves the best coffee in the Venice Beach area. It’s rich, well balanced, and expertly made every single time.
If you care about quality coffee and nothing else, this is the spot. Simple, reliable, and far above the rest in the neighborhood.

Good espresso. Fast service. Lovely patrons too. Has copious chill outside seating. Heads up that they are cashless.

I really wanted to like this Venice location since I love the Culver spot — the drinks, the friendly staff, and the great vibe there are always consistent. Unfortunately, this location has been the opposite experience on multiple occasions. There’s one employee in particular — the long-haired male barista — who always seems to have a bad attitude. The energy here just feels off every time I visit. On top of that, I’ve noticed poor hygiene practices, like going straight from wiping down tables and petting dogs to squeezing oranges into a latte without washing hands.
It’s disappointing because the concept and drinks are great, but this location needs serious improvement in cleanliness and customer service. I’ll be sticking with the Culver location from now on.
(I also reached out to the company directly to discuss before posting a negative public review but they never responded, so here we are).

Terrible experience with the cashier, despite the coffee being amazing. I come to Venice often, and every single time I stop here because the coffee is absolutely delicious. But today I was completely shocked by the behavior of the cashier/barista. I bought a coffee and a cookie, and I politely asked for just a tiny bit of milk on the side — literally enough for two small sips ,for my 2-year-old child. He told me it would be an extra $2. I said never mind, because charging $2 for a few drops of milk makes no sense. What surprised me even more was that while making my cappuccino, he intentionally poured the leftover milk down the drain right in front of me instead of giving me that tiny bit for my child. When I commented on it, he laughed in my face. Extremely rude, unprofessional, and petty behavior. I love the coffee here, but after this experience with the cashier, I’m honestly shocked. I will think twice before coming back.
We tried the Chai latte and Cappuccino, both super good! It’s a pretty busy street especially on the weekends and can be very noisy. I’d recommend take out and walk by the beach.

They have a restroom they dont let patrons use and lie they have none. Businesses next door all tell they have one and should let ppl use it instead of sending them over. As far as accessibility goes, this is trickle down evil.

Great coffee! We had their cappucino, mocha and Spanish latte and we loved all of it. They have a simple menu which makes ordering a breeze.
They close exactly at 6pm though but we were able to sit at the tables outside.

Really good espresso beans which makes for a very tasty oat milk latte. The espresso taste was still bold and strong which I appreciated while drinking my latte.
