Dear Yelp Community,…read more First time visiting this venue. Very low-key from the front of the venue on the street, so a great ambiance of a surprise upon entering (wine wall, open and spacious, outdoor patio, near the Venice canals, and colorful buildings nearby). Friendly staff. I enjoyed my golden latte (with turmeric). Best wishes. Sincerely, Anna

3-1/2 stars…read more Charming coffee spot with a designated parking lot (a rarity in this part of town)! Coffee selection is solid, and I opted for the orange Dreamsicle cloud latte. The coffee base was decent, but I did not get any orange flavor at all. Not the best coffee I've had, but it did the trick for an afternoon pick-me-up.

This place is for people who KNOW coffee. I brought my cousin here to try the coffee out! She looks…read morefor places that serve single origin. 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!

I'd really wanna give this spot a 3 start but don't wanna bring this place down. I haven written a…read morereview in a while but after coming here I needed to share my frustration with the shop. 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.

Strawberry Macha! I keep trying them and by no means an expert but I like the touch of sweetness…read more At Dayglow, they used the smallest squirt of strawberry inside the plastic cup, so was prepared to be disappointed. Watching as the barista/matcharista made the matcha with such care, checking the temperature of the water, whisking, what appeared to be a lot of milk over ice, I was skeptical. The matcharista started teaching me the technique to whisk it properly, talking about the quality of the matcha and how I can attempt to make it at home. He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I was very impressed with the quality of the matcha, it was incredibly earthy and slightly creamy... and that small squirt of strawberry was jut right, not too sweet but added a hint of flavor. My friend had a decaf coffee drink and was pleased enough to say she'll be back.

Good coffee. If you guys are going to charge so much - which is fine I get it- you're on rose- at…read moreleast serve bigger cups- and maybe lids? this is offensively small even for the area.

Don't come here if you're looking for boring and mediocre coffee…read more You don't just luck out on coffee this good. It takes testing, tasting constant refinement, and thoughtfulness. Even with milk, you're likley to notice nutty, chocholate, fruit notes, and things that just pop on the tongue. Drinks always land on the tongue super balqnced, nice acidity but perfectly balanced. Have never gone wrong at Mad Lads. They have a nice selection of pastries and roasted veans for your own at home routines

On a busy Sunday morning, the service was a bit slow, but the solo barista was very friendly. I ordered the apple pie matcha, which was earthy, delicious, and didn't come over-sweetened as matcha does at so many cafés. I'll definitely be popping in again when I'm in the neighborhood!

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.
