    The drinks here are absolutely delicious! We really enjoyed their Matcha lemonade, a very unique twist with what seemed like iced tea. Perfectly refreshing on a hot day! Service is wonderful, they are so friendly and welcoming. They get through the lines quickly with a smile and everything is made perfectly. Prices are extremely fair and their coffee is roasted in house and fresh and delicious every time. Highly recommended if you are looking for the great drink or pick me up in the area.

    Orange creamsicle latte

    Just moved to Mar Vista and stumbled upon Alana's! Love love love this coffee shop. It's a super popular spot with tons of delicious coffee and pastries. The line was kind of long when I went but moved pretty quickly. I ordered the orange creamsicle latte and oh mannn the cream was so good. It's my go to now! The outside is also really nice and spacious as people often chill there. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu!

    Fresh, fast, and delicious mocha. Small parking lot next to the building with parking. Ordered to go and it was ready when I arrived.

    This could be up there as one of best coffee spots i've ever been to. Incredible. Truly incredible coffee. Alana's roasts their beans in-house, and you can taste the difference. Fresh, rich, and beautifully balanced , the kind of coffee that makes you slow down and actually enjoy every sip. The staff were just as impressive welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. It adds so much when the people behind the counter care about what they're serving. The ambiance is cute and cozy, with a relaxed neighborhood feel. Plus, the available outdoor seating makes it a perfect spot to sit, sip, and stay awhile.

    This is a great little coffee shop for working. The cold brew is delicious, the service people who work there are kind, and there's ample seating on the cute patio outside. Good Wi-Fi connection.

    This place was cool! I needed a spot to get some work done and I was not alone in that pursuit. The staff were all a lovely, the coffee I got was good, and the pastry hit the spot. I will say the Chorizo hand pie was on the spicer end so watch out if you're a wimp like me aha. WiFi was fast, seating was ample, so a solid place to be if you need to hang!

    I cannot believe I did not discover this coffee spot until now, despite how close I live to it. Their coffee is very good and well priced (I got the Mocha Latte) and I tried their Vegan Pizza pastry and the bread literally melted it my mouth, it was SO good! The outdoor seating area is SO cute and a perfect place to get some work done or have a chat on a sunny day. It is also located in a nice area around lots of shops and restaurants, and is right by the Mar Vista Farmers Market. This is definitely going to be one of my go-to coffee spots now!

    Great local coffee spot that roasts its own coffee. Great coffee, ample space to sit, small parking lot and super dog friendly. Come support a great local business!

    Maple latte
    Nicole W.

    Tried the cold brew and the maple latte, latte was a little plain. It tasted like what I make at home, I'm looking for something more unique when I get coffee out. The cold brew was good and had a fruity finish, I would get that instead.

    Guava croissant
    Martina S.

    Alana's is easily one of my favorite coffee spots in LA, if not all of Venice. They have an incredible pastry selection - from their mouthwatering chorizo hand-pies to the flaky, guava-filled croissants. Honestly, I could close my eyes and randomly choose anything, confident it will be absolutely delicious, whether it's one of their tasty lattes or another pastry. Service is always great and the owner is such a cool, chill guy! Can't wait to return.

    Chai matcha latte
    Kayla C.

    Visited Jan '25 - came all the way to Alana's for the mushroom and vegan cheese croissant. This was my third visit back and second time having the croissant. Of everything I've tried, it's easily my favorite and worth swinging by for. Unfortunately, they don't always have it and I would prefer to call before going in that direction but, I don't believe the number works as I don't get an answer. However, I LOVE this croissant and I'm not at all vegan. It MUST be HOT, not warm, hot. That's how you get the full experience. I'm working my way through the menu to find a latte I love. The chai matcha latte is ok (wish they had just a chai latte). It's a cute coffee shop inside but small, the lovely part is the backyard style patio. Parking is easy, right off the side of the building but gets full fast. Staff is always lovely.

    I'm a little confused over all the 5 star reviews. Is the place really cool because you get to see the coffee roasting process? Yes. Do they have freshly roasted beans for sale? Yes. But I ordered an iced vanilla latte and I swear they forgot to put espresso in it or something. It tasted just like iced oatmilk. My husband got the same thing with regular milk and we tasted zero coffee in it. He also got a cold brew and it was so watered down. We did buy a bag of beans so the cold brew came free with it or a drip coffee. Besides that, the staff is super great! They're all so friendly and welcoming. It is really small inside and I believe you can't be there longer than 2 hours. So probably not the best place to get work done. Overall, I wouldn't come back unless it's maybe to buy beans only. Metered street parking.

She got into a great conversation with the barista. The barista definitely knows his stuff. They were comparing different coffee shops and discussing the different notes in their beans. My cousin takes her coffee seriously and she was really impressed! I myself went with a flat white. You can definitely tell that their coffee quality is top notch. What I really do appreciate is the fact that their baristas is so knowledgable and really does have a passion for coffee. My cousin said it's not very common to find in coffee shops. She gave me a whole ted talk on why the coffee here is really good. Definitely come here if you want some good quality coffee and a barista who is happy to chat about it!

The place is so beautiful and it's such a vibe to just be there. I am amazed at how much detail went to the shop. The couches are nice and the staff is friendly. My problem is with the coffee. I was left wanting a different flavor than I expected. For context it was a Sunday morning so it might've been busy. But I ordered a flat white and it tasted like filtered water with a dash of coffee. There was absolutely no flavor and could barely taste the coffee. Maybe I don't know coffee well but I've been to tons of coffee shops in the west side and this is for sure one of the ones I was disappointed by. I'm willing to give the place a second chance but not sure.

    My fiancée and I were taking a drive around the neighborhood on a Saturday morning and saw a line…read moreout the door of PPC so we knew we had to try it out. The line goes quick! And Ryan at the register was knowledgeable and helpful, welcoming us to the shop with a warm smile. We went with the vanilla latte (silky smooth, 20/10) at his recommendation, and the mint mocha (hint of fresh mint flavor and deep mocha, 20/10) - both iced with almond milk. For pastries, I had the everything croissant with cream cheese (20/10) and she had the triple blueberry muffin (15/10). For full transparency, and a reflection of their dedication to customers, we had a slight hiccup with our order - in the busy morning rush, our coffee orders were accidentally forgotten. After a few minutes, I asked the baristas about this and Ryan was quick to rectify the situation, even offering a complimentary gift card for our next visit. As you can see, the friendly service, phenomenal drinks and pastries make this an easy recommendation! We will definitely be returning customers! Shout out to the team today for a great first visit!

    One Star - Great coffee, but the attitude ruins it…read more I've been a regular at this coffee shop for a while because the coffee and pastries are genuinely good. Unfortunately, that's no longer enough to keep me coming back. Every single male employee I've encountered here is unfriendly, arrogant, and borderline rude. It feels like they know the place is popular, so they've decided they don't need to treat customers with basic courtesy or warmth. The "too cool for you" vibe is strong and consistent. Today was the last time I'll ever spend my money here. Life is too short to pay premium prices just to be treated with disdain. The quality of the drinks and food is solid, but it's simply not worth enduring the nasty attitude. There are plenty of other fantastic coffee shops in the area that offer both great products and pleasant service -- places like Grand Luxe and Lala Land come to mind. I won't be back.
