They recently followed all the cream top hype, serving their own version of Salted Caramel Sweet Cream Cold Brew. It suited my preference really well with the Cold Brew had balanced acidity and I loved how the cream top not being overly heavy as well as giving light sweetness to the overall drink.

My latte heart was happy to see this spot use Clover Milk. The layout is nice and spacious with indoor and patio seating and lots of nooks to soak in the vibes or remotely work.

Recommended bites are their breakfast burrito with the Habanero Salsa on the side, Breakfast Sandwich and Truffle Parmesan Tots with a Vanilla Latte or a Lemonade to cool you down.

Anything over 60 decibels is damaging to the human ear......!!~!!!! Please look it up. It has been consistently concert level LOUD for hours. I can't do this again. OMG who owns this place and why is it so LOUD? The barista said that they get in trouble if they turn down the music too low. This is so egregiously irresponsible. I cannot believe how loud this cafe is. This is the loudest cafe on planet earth in 2026.

I added the merengue topper for a dollar and I think I might actually like it better than the standard cream toppers! Mainly because thick cream has a harder time mixing into the coffee as you drink it and even if you mix it. But the merengue? Absorbs right in. My plain latte evolved into a lightly sweetened latte 1/3 of the way in without me trying. It was nice. Ambience-wise, standard coffee nook. Main downside is that there are very few seats with many people lingering to work and spread out their stuff across 3 other seats after they've long finished their coffee.

On a busy Sunday morning, the service was a bit slow, but the solo barista was very friendly.

As the Pastor of Venice Free Methodist Church in Del Rey (right next to Playa Vista), we were…read morepreparing for Easter with the theme "Come to the Table"--centered on the invitation of Jesus in Bible (Revelation 3:20), where He welcomes all to dine with Him. As I was working through my message, I had the idea to include a visual illustration--a charcuterie setup to represent the abundant life Jesus offers. Right away, I thought of Alex and Olivia at Joliet Cafe. I've enjoyed Joliet Cafe for years-- whether I've come by in the day to get delicious coffee, or enjoyed the restaurant on a romantic night out with the wife - the food is always outstanding. Alex is truly a masterful chef! So just a couple of weeks before Easter, I reached out with this idea. Not only was he open to it, but he took the time to understand the vision and bring it to life. On the day of, Alex arrived early and prepared a beautiful, abundant "feast" that fit the message perfectly. It didn't just look incredible--it tasted amazing. After the service, we placed the charcuterie next to our lunch table, and it was gone quickly! So many people commented on how delicious and well-presented everything was. I share all this to say: Alex's professionalism, creativity, skill, and flexibility make him an incredible choice for charcuterie boards, catering, or any culinary service. He truly delivers--and you will not be disappointed. Thank you again for helping make Easter such a meaningful and special day!

Stopped by for lunch the other day and was pleased with the experience…read more Joliet is located across the street from Urban Plates within the food court with Jenni's ice cream. I thought it was a full sit-down restaurant, but it's more like a cafe you can walk up and order from, and either sit at their bar area or outside at any of the tables. Regardless, service was pleasant enough. I got a chicken Caesar wrap and a Sakura matcha, and both were delicious. I loved the floral flavor of the Sakura matcha, and the wrap was fresh and flavorful. This is a great spot to grab a quick bite and coffee from, and I would totally come back if I'm in the area.

I understand being friendly and making people feel welcome, and a quick chat is totally fine. But sometimes the conversations go on for several minutes -- even getting deep into topics like favorite songs -- while people are waiting. Ordering coffee these days is already detailed enough. Most customers just want good coffee and efficient service. A coffee shop isn't a psychologist's office. I don't know if this message should be directed at the workers who are always trying to be nice or the customers who don't seem to care about the people waiting around them.

There is plenty of seating but it's not super comfortable. The high tops have tall stools and the lower tables have some chairs and a long bench against the open wall. It doesn't feel like a place to linger. There's no bathroom for customers (they told us to go to Vons). The service is relatively slow, though the servers are friendly. There is a large free parking lot though, so that part's easy!

They use organic alternative milks and food honey. Free wifi for a couple hours which makes it a good spot to study(if you don't mind the pop music a bit loud) Thanks Whole Foods!

Erik was super humble, and yet calm cool and collective-while managing the usual door traffic. I guess where I'm going with this is I certainly couldn't do it! Thanks Erik, your a credit to the Home State brand.
