Their service was genuinely friendly. The place is beautiful and spacious. Gives a positive beach vibe. They have small tables outside as well and for those who walk their dogs, they offer a bowl of water and treats. How sweet! I sat outside and enjoyed the sun and salty air.

This review is only about the sandwich I had (did not try the coffee)…read more I was pressed for time and working nearby so I grabbed a pre-made sandwich from this cafe. The sandwich was $13 (actually shocking). It was ice cold to point of where the sandwich was hard, almost like it had been in the back of the fridge too long. The bread was dry and fell apart immediately upon first bite. It had turkey, cheese, tomato, iceberg lettuce - it says it had mayo and mustard but I didn't taste much of this. To say this was French bread is a stretch. If I wasn't so busy I actually should have requested a refund because I was only able to eat the turkey and cheese and threw away the rest. I would actually go so far as to suggest that this establishment stops serving sandwiches like this unless they are made fresh. Please stick to coffee.

WOOOOOW! So excited for this new coffee shop in the area. I rarely give 5 stars and everything…read moreabout this place is 5 stars. First off, the owner is probably the nicest person on this planet. She's so sweet. She recommended the coconut water coffee. At first I thought it was strange to put coconut water in a latte but wooow was it probably one of the best coffees I've had. So it's coconut water and she mixes in the espresso with the cold foam and pours it on top. It was all so delicious. And the rest of the menu was so unique as I saw saffron was even used. Will definitely be back. It's located inside the hospital office building on the corner. Street parking

EDIT TODAY:…read more Management reached out to me the same day to reassure me they're putting a table back there, it's just going to be resized to better fit the new layout. This is the kind of awesome customer-first efforts that makes me such a fan of Primo Passo. I moved my review back up to 5 stars. Thank you so much, guys!! -- I've loved coming to Primo Passo for a long time. I actually drive from Culver City there because of the vibe, staff, coffee, and ability to chill, work, whatever. Even with no WiFi I've never complained because I just hotspot if I need to. But today I stopped by and one of their seating areas- namely the long table and seats near the front- was just totally gone. Replaced with more shelves of things to sell. The seating they've already had has been nice but limited. But now they've made if even harder to get a spot there. I mean, they could have put in the shelves and replaced the long table with a fairly large square table with seats (trust me, I scoped out the space for it) but so far nothing. Just shelves with more products and a big stand around space. With fewer and fewer 'third places' making people feel welcome, I'm disappointed in the less seating at Primo Passo meaning either I get even luckier grabbing a place to sit or I'm just SOL. The people and coffee are still lovely, but I won't be stopping by as often anymore. I was willing to do the drive before, but now I'll need to be in the area and not needing to bank on a place to sit and work or chill. I suppose the Starbucks across the street will do, but there are tons of those everywhere.

We stopped by to get afternoon coffee around 12:30, and it was pretty busy with only a few seats…read moreopen. There's a lot of seating and space though, so it's a good spot to either hang out or even work (no loud blaring music!). We got the cinnamon cardamom flavor in both a flat white and latte. It was a delicious homemade syrup that I would recommend trying! Then my friend got a Guatemalan pourover that was good as well. Sidenote - the bathroom is well maintained and clean for those of you it matters to.

The French toast latte with oat milk was the highlight for me. You can really taste the maple syrup and it's sweet without being overwhelming. My girlfriend got the Midnight Mocha with almond milk and they swapped the dark roast for their medium blend no problem. She loved it. The warmed butter croissant was a simple but solid addition. Staff was genuinely friendly too. Apparently the owners had a coffee shop in New York before the pandemic and brought that energy out here to Santa Monica. It shows. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

We were staying up the street at the Hyatt Centric and wanted to find a local coffee shop instead…read moreof Sbux. This was a gem of a place to stumble into. The coffee is delicious, they have three roasts to choose from no matter what drink you get. My husband got a cold brew and I got an iced latte, both with the "Red" beans. It was perfect. They also bring in pastries from a local bakery and the chocolate chip banana bread is not to be missed. Highly recommend!

As a local I really appreciate a coffee spot on the boardwalk that opens at 7am!…read more Not to mention that their drip coffee is actually very good! I've only had the croissant from there food-wise, which is decent, but also I feel like perhaps they use a bit much butter. Mostly, everyone that works here is really nice.
