    Excellent coffee shop that also serves juices - their Chai latte is incredible. Also met up with my friend producer/actor Will Tiao and his adorable daughters and they have some very nice outdoor tables in the nice weather. Service very prompt and overall excellent. Also in that barn structure in Brentwood. Check it out!

    Matcha latte

    They make delicious unsweetened matcha lattes. The staff is nice and the location is excellent at The Brentwood Country mart. They have a few outdoor tables, excellent to relax and people watch.

    Burnt croissant
    Amy P.

    Nothing like a burnt croissant in the morning, as soon as he took it out of the warmer I could smell it was burnt so I know he could too. He hands me the croissant and it burns my hand bc it's clearly overcooked and too hot! If you mess something up, just fix it. It wasn't even edible. I could barely rip it apart and it would just crumble into bits. Thanks !

    The two cappuccinos I bought last Sunday were the most delicious I had in a while. I'm craving it as I write this. The coffee beans they use is amazing, fresh and rich in flavor. I'm very impressed and can't wait to go back. I have been at this plaza before but never stopped by to get coffee. From now on this will be a must stop for me. Great customer service great coffee. They also had freshly baked goods which I'll try next time. Outdoor sitting is nice specially on a winter sunny LA day.

    I can't complain about the sweet service and delicious matcha lattes here. So good! Yes they do validate for an hour so park in the lot and come on in! Ambiance is always clean and friendly here with seating out on the patio.

    after hearing wonderful things about the voice here i decided to take s nice long walk with my dog there. moral of the story!!! they suck!! i waited 32 minutes in line, had my order taken, then told i had to leave!!! your dog isn't a service dog i was told. no signs, no advance notice. it's not an indoor establishment. no animals to place an order???? with this said i will never patronize this chain of business again. no transparency! all about the money money money. you suck!!! the first poor review i have ever written

    overview: I came here on a whim for wanting a sweet treat after a filling meal at SUGARFISH. Just the smell that was coming out of this cafe was dragging me in. The place was lovely and really made me feel like in the holiday spirit. Workers were quick & kind. I could tell that they were very experienced baristas. drinks: Iced vanilla latte w/ oat milk & cinnamon 10/10. When I say this tasted exactly how I wanted it to... I mean it. I'm not a super strong coffee fan and this combo balanced it out so well. The cinnamon wasn't too overpowering and complemented the drink perfectly. It was genuinely one of the best coffees I've had. If I lived nearby, this would be my go-to cafe for sure. Cafe Nitro: This was my boyfriend's drink and he also absolutely loved it. It has candied orange which I never had with coffee before. It was surprisingly good.

    Iced latte

    My friend and I stopped by after a run and each ordered a latte. A few minutes after we left, we realized we were craving a little more coffee in our drinks, so we decided to pop back in and ask if we could add an extra shot. Not only did the barista make them without hesitation--he gave us the extra shots on the house. We were not expecting that at all, and it genuinely made our day. He was so kind, didn't make us feel awkward for asking--just good energy and vibe. It's little moments like that that really leave a lasting impression. I wish I'd gotten his name (and the rest of the staff too), because everyone there was welcoming and easy to talk to. Can't wait to come back!

    Overpriced coffee, I wanted soy foam they do not have soy so I got oatmilk foam , but he poured a ton of milk in there and they would not make it again so I settled for this hot cup of coffee. If you wanna pay for overpriced coffee it's a cute place

    Nutella croissant
    Ivy L.

    Cute little coffee shop !! There's a small parking lot and plenty of street parking. I like that there's a lot of outdoor seating so you can sit and relax outside after shopping in the area. I came later in the day so I didn't grab a coffee but I got the Nutella croissant and it was delicious! Would definitely come back here to try their coffees.

    Caffe Luxxe is known as one of the pioneers of the third-wave coffee in Los Angeles and they opened the first café in Santa Monica (Montana Ave) in 2006. This is a secondary Santa Monica location and is located in Brentwood Country Mart. Free parking validation with purchase so don't forget to bring parking ticket with you. Staff was efficient and there was half a dozen outdoor tables (quite crowded) near the front entrance. I don't recall any indoor seating. *** Caffe Latte ($5.25): The drink was on the point with great balance on creaminess, smoothness, and aroma. Not the prettiest latte art, but I value taste over art. *** Caffe Luxxe really nailed down Caffe Latte - two big thumbs up!

    Cafe latte with almond milk
    Nikki H.

    Love this coffee place! Super cute village setting in Brentwood village. Lovely start to the morning with Barrista made coffee. I love the matcha tea and cafe latte. Today I had the cafe latte with almond milk. The foam was done perfectly on top illustrating a heart. Happy start to my morning. Great service and good snacks.

The most recent instance was this Wednesday (9/2/26), when I arrived around 7:20 AM and the shop was still closed. It was a bummer, especially since this isn't the first time it's happened. I tried my luck again yesterday (9/3) and today (9/4) around the same time, and luckily the shop was open. Shoutout to the girls who were working yesterday and this morning for showing up on time and making some fire drinks! . I hope the opening hours become more reliable, especially for the early workers.

This Santa Monica location is located in the hippest part of Santa Monica. [Parking]: There's a small parking lot behind the cafe, but it was completely packed and I just ended up finding a metered parking spot a block away from the cafe. [Atmosphere]: The cafe has one of the sleekest modern looks out of all the cafes I have visited and honestly this cafe is the epitome of LA cafe culture. The indoor tables were all occupied, but there were plenty of outdoor tables to sit at and watch people walking their dogs. [Ordering]: There was a waiting line, but our party only waited about 5 minutes. While our drink was ready in 10 minutes, I didn't hear my name called for the avocado toast. Apparently, the avocado toast was ready and it was sitting at the counter right next to the drink counter. Since our party sat outside, I simply didn't hear my name called. [Menu]: The top highlighted items to order here are Avocado Toast, Banana Cloud, Matcha Squared, and Strawberry Fields Matcha. *** Medium Banana Cloud Latte (creamy, nutty, spiced - made with fresh bananas, vanilla bean and banana cloud top, secret sauce, espresso or ceremonial matcha, cinnamon - ceremonial matcha $7.30): I couldn't taste the matcha at all, but the drink somewhat lived up to expectations as it had a strong banana taste. Personally the drink was just a tad sweet for me, but if you wait until all the ice melts then the sweetness should be about right. La La Classic Avocado Toast (avocado mash, chili flakes, lemon zest, cilantro garnish - cut in half $12.50): It was one of the nicest-looking avocado toasts. Generous with the avocado, but the toast was cold. I actually liked the chili flakes as they gave the toast an extra spicy kick. *** Overall, this is a really nice spot to have a first date or just sit on the outdoor patio and relax, but there are better spots in LA for drinks. A solid 3.5-star and the avocado toast was memorable, but bumping down to 3-star due to inconvenient parking and mediocre service and drinks.

We were delighted with the box of cookies and tarts that they brought from Paderia in Santa Monica. The chocolate chip walnut cookies were fat and soft with a slightly crisp exterior. The thickness of them allowed a plethora of rich chips to reside inside. I'm not a fan of chunks of nuts in cookies but these were chopped in tiny pieces, so did not take away from the overall soft texture. The soft peanut butter chocolate cookie was also a huge fattie with peanut butter chips within the chocolate cookie. Both were enhanced with a quick warm-up. I loved both of these cookies and think the chocolate chip is the very best you'll ever find. We also had Portuguese egg tarts. The pastel de nata (if I recall, this is what they are called) I ate was small but good, but I have had others that were more to my liking, with a sweeter custard and a more caramelized top, which I guess is a personal preference. Not to say it wasn't delicious - it was! I love the cookies so much I'll be checking out their Irvine location soon, which is much closer to me.

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.
