Cute little shop with some indoor seating! I appreciate that they actually have LARGE cups! As an only tea drinker, I hate the places that specialize in gourmet coffee - and then have itty bitty cups for all beverages. C'mon people - this is tea. Tea needs hot water! Tea needs to brew! Lucky 7 does a great job with their large beverages, which means there's ample room for steamed milk. Highly recommend! 2026: 60/100

I visited this coffee shop at about 3:58 PM, just two minutes before the scheduled closing time…read more Upon entering, a staff member immediately informed us that the last order had been taken one minute earlier and that they could not serve us. We left without raising any objections. As we were exiting, we passed another customer--a white woman--who was entering the shop. I overheard her ask, "Are you closed? Can you take one more order?" Although I did not hear the staff's reply, I saw her exclaim "Yay!" with joy, jumping in excitement. She then waited inside and received her coffee. As an Asian customer, this experience left me with a strong impression of unequal treatment based on appearance. While another customer who arrived moments later was accommodated, we were abruptly turned away. I understand that closing procedures exist; however, their inconsistent application raises serious concerns regarding fairness and customer service.

After grabbing some pizza around the block, we headed over for some gelato. We had never been to…read morethis location before, but once we walked in, we realized we'd actually visited one of their previous locations in Marina Del Rey. The young lady who took our order was extremely friendly and even offered us some samples before we made our decision, which was a nice touch. I ended up going with the espresso macadamia chip and pistachio, and both were delicious. Honestly, my only complaint is that I forgot to grab some of the passion fruit macaroons! Guess I'll just have to make sure I don't forget them next time. Thanks again for the great service and gelato. We'll definitely be back when in the area.

I would see this place pop up on my social media quite a bit especially since they plan on…read moreexpanding and adding a new location..... sooooo I decided if I'm in Hermosa, let's go ahead and finally give it a go. I had a pretty solid positive outlook on them. I ordered the "French Toast Latte". I feel like it should have been called the Burnt toast latte. I genuinely took 3 sips and tossed it away in the trash can on the side walk. I tried to mix it and grabbed a straw to do so and it made it WORSE. I'm extremely disappointed that I wasted $7 on a latte. I've had bad coffees before, but this one took the cake. It tasted like milk, and the espresso tasted acidic, burnt have you. At least with other bad coffees I could stomach at least half of it but this was just really acidic. I noticed other people mentioning the coffee scene in LA isn't the same anymore and this attested to that. They started picking up foot traffic & I wasn't going to wait to ask for a remake or anything, I took the L and life moves on. I wasn't going to play Karen about it. The Lamington pastry somewhat saved the experience. This was an extremely moist, spongy, sweet cake that was delicious with coconut flakes on top. She was AMAZING. I snagged a piece off my friends and it was reeallllly good. I would recommend if you like coconut and a softer spongy cake like pastry! Talk about the underdog in this trip. The aesthetic is cute, it's clean and resembles a house. I like the scheme they have going on. The other half looks like a gift shop that I did not go into. They have a restroom available as well inside. Customer service was just customer service. Nothing amazing or bad about it. Pretty standard. We mentioned it's our first time & the girl didn't really care lol. We had questions and it was very whatever kind of vibe. No enthusiasm. Parking would be on the street so good luck!

I used to really enjoy the atmosphere, but over time things changed. Some employees started…read moretreating me poorly as a customer, and that didn't feel right. I'm an adult woman, almost 48, and I don't appreciate being told how I should behave in a disrespectful way. At one point, an employee even told me not to talk to other customers--even when they were the ones starting conversations with me. That felt like bullying. Thankfully, that employee is no longer there, but the overall attitude still hasn't fully improved. I've been bringing my two dogs with me for a long time without any issues. Recently, I was told I can't use the bathroom anymore--even just to quickly wash my hands before eating. I understand rules about dogs not being allowed in certain areas, and that was explained properly, but the way everything was handled felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. Because of this shift in attitude, I've noticed other customers have stopped coming as well, like Alex and Trisha. Some people have even mentioned that the overall environment and customer treatment aren't as good as they used to be. It's disappointing, because this used to be a place I really liked. Now it feels like the attitude has changed, and not in a good way.

It has a cool vibe, lots of fun things on the menu, healthy smoothies, and baked pastries. Interior design and layout were brilliant with abundant natural light. We came on an early weekend morning to grab breakfast; it was my first time at this cafe. I was warmly greeted by a male staff with a smile. I ordered an iced coffee and avocado toast. Both items were solid. Breakfast AT was delightful and healthy. Services were spot on. Prices were fair for the area. Plenty of street metered parking. Overall, this cafe is a good spot for breakfast. I recommend it.

Parking isn't the best but there is a small lot in back that is available. We ordered the Chai and Honey Latte. The Chai latte was well balanced, not overly sweet or overpowering. The Honey Latte was bright and had a hint of honey but the milk overpowered the espresso. Another downside was that they didn't have almond milk (not sure if they don't carry it regularly or if it was just the day we came that they didn't have it). Prices are a tad inflated. The service was quick but not the most friendly/welcoming.

My husband commented the latte tastes like the girls attitude that made it.... Just BAD. We came in 45 minutes before closing but she was super irritated, had all the pastries cleaned up and seemed annoyed any additional patrons came in. Pretty sad I spent $15 on 2 coffees and neither of us drank them.

Friends ordered a few other things as well, and overall everything was super good. What stood out most was the texture. Everything tasted moist and well made without feeling like it was trying too hard to be "gluten-free." I'm not personally gluten sensitive, though a couple friends I was with are, and honestly I wouldn't have known it was gluten-free based on the quality and taste alone. The drinks were solid too and paired well with everything we ordered. The whole place has a calm neighborhood bakery feel to it, and you can tell it's a spot locals come back to often.
