Idk why the lowish rating. Is chill. The same one as the Culver city one. It's outside mostly and the seating is cool to me it's a view of the street. Prices reasonable. Idk man internet is full of complainers seems to me that's why you come here. No one wants to listen to ya Lol I checked these reviews y'all complaints aren't even real stuff. There's not enough seating? What are you 2000lbs lol get a life guys. Sorry they happened to be out of one freaking drink it does happen tho geez. By the way the coffee is actually good here so that's all I need along with reasonable prices for this day n age. read more

The sprinkles cookie is good, but this place has the best latte in LA (or at least Santa Monica). It's a pretty small pop-upish space. read more

Located right across from the tesla charging stations in SM. It's open air and exists on a small corner but easy to spot and has tons of seating inside. Ordered an americano and iced latte with almond milk for ~$9 total with tip so price was decent compared to other coffees in the area. Service was decent but coffee had an interesting after taste to it and somehow was slightly watered down. Coffee had a decent caffeine kick to it though. read more

Had really high hopes for this place and had bookmarked it for months after seeing it on a few top lists. But unfortunately they were out of the seasonal drink that I wanted and the cold brew that I had wasn't overly impressive. I also had hoped there would be more seating or a nicer area to get some work done, but it seemed pretty limited in terms of tablespace read more

I went here on a black Friday morning.. there was none as probably that's just after they opened I went here. The barista seemed ok. Acted like I don't understand the language kept showing me the signs of the bill on the screen as if I didn't understand what $4 mean. I was very disappointed in the service though the coffee seemed to be good.i won't go back here anytime I visit santa Monica. The money is going elsewhere for sure. Overall it was a cute little place where you could sit and do the people watching as they got open patio style sitting area (covered tho) read more

For $16 for two coffees and a cookie, plus the great reviews which had compelled me to specifically set out to visit Coffee Commissary on Santa Monica Blvd., I was very disappointed. WHY you might ask? 1. My Gingerbread Coffee had too much nutmeg. It made me gag and the coffee tasted awful mixed with almond mylk. 2. I exchanged my coffee for a Vanilla Latte after taking my first sip of the Gingerbread Latte.The 2nd coffee was just as bad as the 1st. All the syrup in the world can't mask the flavor of the beans. 3. The temperature of the 2nd coffee was luke-warm. 4. It would have been great if the barista would have asked what type of milk I wanted the second time around. 5. The 1st, and 2nd coffee ended up in the trash. And, just like that we won't be going back again. read more

Coffee Commissary - The sprinkles cookie was delicious. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Have been wanting to stop by for sometime now. And finally did yesterday after my two hour run at the Santa Monica Stairs for a much needed pick me up. Enjoyed a cubano and the sun and a Golden Milk to go for my girlfriend. Both drinks were really good. Friendly customer service. Definitely will be back to try more drinks. As well as recommended them if you're in the area and need a cup of Joe. read more

Ironically I was walking to Starbucks and I accidentally stumbled upon coffee commissary. I am familiar with the area pretty well. However, I've never seen it before. I have also be to other coffee commissary and the decor was not the same. They have hot pink chairs with wooden tables and neon lighting. It super stands out and super cute cafe. I asked Saudi (my barista) if this location was new. She informed me it had been here for about a year but it's somewhat hard to miss and thats why people don't see it. I had to do some work on my laptop and asked if they had wifi and they do, perfect! I'm not much of a coffee drinker and not too familiar with what to order. I asked her for some suggestions and she was extremely helpful and patient with me, thank you! She also recommended one of there pastries I couldn't resist and don't regret it. My order only took a few short minutes and the coffee looked so cute (heart shaped) and tasted amazing! I ordered the Cubano and highly recommend. I had to snap a shot but there was no one there that early. I asked Saudi if she would please take a picture, and she did!!!! I seriously had an amazing experience, my coffee was perfect and so was my treat, and the ambiance was really an enjoyable experience. I saw a lot of happy and satisfied customers because of Saudi, thank you again! read more

Love this place! Vincent takes great care of us and makes the best iced coffees. Great staff, great coffee!

Pink chairs, cute coffee shop. Count me in! I love going to different coffee shops and found this one while in town having lunch with my s/o nearby. It's an extremely small shop right next to a car dealership so meant to be more of a kiosk type feel with the addition of the cute tables and decor. I love the pink tables and chairs and it's such a nice pop! The coffee was good and we were able to sit and enjoy for a while and of course take some photos! read more

Coffee Commissary - Cheeseeeee :) cute location! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I've been going to coffee commissary's for a while and been to several locations. I always order a flat white with oat milk. Every time. I'm always usually greeted with a smile or a 'good morning' which is why I love going there. This one unfortunately had neither. The lady working there seemed as if she didn't want to be there, as well as making it very clear they do not serve a flat white coffee. She did not even try to ask what it was. I had mentioned that every other location served one no problems but she made it clear not this one. She did make a great cappuccino, however a smile would have been really nice. :/ read more

It's pretty hurtful to have someone pretentiously laugh in my face when I ask if they have decaf... I cannot have caffeine because of seizures and still love the taste of coffee... now I'll be embarrassed to ask every time. It's very ableist to look down on someone for their health problems, I won't soon forget that moment read more

Great latte ! A bit of work on the pastry display case and it will be all set. It's a busy intersection but the outdoor seating area is great ! Pastry look artisanal. The flourless chocolate cake is light and moist. Quite tasty. read more

Nice coffee, pleasant outdoor seating. I got the Gibraltar, which is a small version of a cappuccino and the coffee was strong and rich with flavor. They have limited pastry options, and monthly specials for their drinks too read more

I've driven by this cute corner coffee shop an uncountable number of times and finally got to try it on my lunch break. I wanted to order something different than my usual, boring coffee order and opted for an iced cubano with oat milk. WHOA. The coffee flavor is amazing and the cinnamon syrup adds just enough oomph - what a treat. Thank goodness for caffeine pick me ups half way through a full day of clinic. Got a feeling I'll be back very soon. read more

Coffee Commissary - Iced Cubano with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Monica, California

For what it is, this place works. In the ever so walk-able city of Santa Monica, we found ourselves "Birding" around and wanted to get some coffee. Because it was already noon, I ordered a decaf latte. It worked. Rich taste and a creamy finish from the foam. Very limited seating outside. It's anchored to a Mini dealer. read more

Coffee Commissary - Decaf latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Cool location, small, but they do have a bit of indoor as well as outdoor seating. Service is great and I love their mocha, both hot and iced. Great quality coffee, very well made. I do wish they had larger sizes available, but it is still very much worth trying. read more

Great location across from Tesla charging station, but my morning begins far earlier than 8am. Wish it opened at least an hour earlier.

Right across from the tesla supercharger so it's a very convenient spot to get your caffeine fix while charging your car. Really good coffee, I like that they don't use too much sugar and ask you for how much sugar you want in your drink. Service was great and they had nice seats outside to just wait and chill. read more

After reading the reviews I'm confident whoever is in charge is aware of the person they hired. Who has no customer service skills whatsoever! After everything we've gone through as a collective this past year and into the present. A little kindness goes a long way. If you don't like your job change it! And if you're having a bad day don't you dare go messing up somebody else's! Nobody needs a coffee with a side of weird/negative energy! read more

We ordered 3 iced lattes today all of them tasted and smelled like curdled milk. Unfortunately we were at work already so we weren't able to go back and let them know. We all thought it might've been asked exaggerating but we had multiple people at work taste it and everyone spat it out , we had to throw out our iced lattes won't be coming back again . read more

Coffee Commissary - Gross - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Monica, California

A new location next to the MINI dealership, this Coffee Commissary is pretty simple. I enjoy that the venue can be indoor/outdoor if they open/close the garage doors. The barista was very friendly and helpful in coming to a decision on what to order. I got a Cubano, which was $5, and was incredibly underwhelmed. There is a small snack menu from some other bakery, but I didn't try it. Parking in the dealership is fine. There are no outlets for laptops. Not sure if I'll be back, but it's still a nice place to try out and see if you like it yourself. read more

Great coffee but the customer service ruined it for me, no greeting or a single word other than what can I get you and what milk.

Great coffee and delicious cookies the size of your face! Will definitely be back!!!!

Poor customer service and over extracted burnt coffee. Asked politely for another one which tasted much better but the attitude that came with it was very distasteful. No coffee love read more

Great Machiato subtle flavors, well balanced. Coffee is however served in an open corner of the Mini dealership, it's loud and though covered not at all a peaceful place, no way you could make a phone call (carrying on conversation would have been difficult when I was there ). It DID NOT HELP that the barista/cashier was playing a TV show very loudly. UPDATE: the noise level is migraine inducing unless you BRING YOUR noise cancelling headsets. The exhaust from all of the traffic is . I look forward to their finding a more traditional coffee shop setting. read more

Usually LOVE commissary and we usually go to the one on Motor ave for our iced cubano fix but we decided to check out this location because we were on the west side. The cubano's that we ordered did not taste the same as the ones on Motor ave. Not sure why but I'm thinking the cinnamon sugar ratio was off?? Unfortunately would not go here again. read more

10/10!!! I love their oat milk lattes so much, I'm honestly addicted. They also have great vegan bread options. read more

Try the cubano!! For breakfast I also had the spinach and egg quiche and that was also very yummy although they can't warm them up for you! read more

Coffee Commissary - The cubano with almond milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Monica, California

My friend surprised me with one of their gluten free chocolate mini loaves. At first I was a little skeptical to be honest ... like bread from a coffee shop? Will it really be that good? And guess what it was! It's like a light brownie with sea salt. The salt gives it a nice contrast and adds a lot of depth ... almost like a warm flavor to the sweetness. Highly recommend. Seems like they freeze well too! read more

Neat spot. Had tea. Hard to mess that up as it's just hot water and a tea bag. Left a good tip. Three stars because of the service. Borderline rude. Mostly indifferent. Worker was on a phone call when I walked up. I got the once-over (literally a look up and down with a derisive sneer) and clearly didn't pass. Others here did pass, lucky for them. read more

What a bummer. The good news is that their coffee and pastries are fantastic... the bad news is walking a few blocks to get said coffee and pastries to start and find an empty pastry case with zero food options. Too many options in this area to sleep on such a basic. Let's hope this is an anomaly. Update: So, a few weeks later I again walk several blocks to give another chance and now they have 4 things to offer (an improvement?) but none of their savory items which I'm told were "left out" of this order. Suffice it to say, this location is reliable for coffee/espresso and not much else. read more

Cold brew was good and they offer oat milk at this location. There was only street parking so it's not a quick coffee stop during busy hours of the day. read more

Tye wanted to charge an extra dollar for almond milk. I do a lot of traveling and I love to try every coffee place but I never heard of anyone charging extra dollar because you want almond milk instead of regular milk. Start bucks, Panera bread and most coffee places they have cream/Milk for you to choose. read more

A great spot to either grab and go for coffee and a quick snack! The coffee is fantastic and love the ease of the walk up window for ordering! A great local business that further enforces the need to resist the big chain coffee places and enjoy local flavor at reasonable prices! Plus it's much better coffee! read more

Adorable little pop-up location with their signature pink! I do love the pink cup holders! :-) Popped by after getting the dog from the vet and, like their Culver City location, totally dog friendly (always a win). They have the same delicious treats as the Culver City location (YAY!!!). Best vegan bread ever - and I am not even a vegan. So moist and a nice thick slice. Got a pour over coffee which is also great. Pretty quiet for a Sunday morning (which was perfect for me and the dog) but I'm sure it gets busier during the week. Great central location. And great service, as always! read more

I didn't care to ask their name but it is Thursday the 15th 2021. The person is wearing a uncommon t-shirt. This person doesn't need to be working with customers. At all. I'm mew here never been here and am not a coffee Connoisseur. But this person was beyond rude. I was polite and didn't know what Coffee had milk in it or not and this person didn't say thank you or please. Lol and I get it. It's a coffee place. But this person needs to be sat down and given a reality check. I just don't give my energy to persons that don't require it so I kept it to myself. But yes terrible experience. Just got my car serviced at Subaru and their coffee machine was down so I had to walk here. And the experience was terrible. Get rid of this person because they don't fit. You want someone that is a little more polite and happy to have a job because so many don't. They will tear your business down. read more
