    Super cute local nice coffee spot. It feels and looks like a friends living room, with full on chairs, bookshelves and clothing. Love! Wish they had more sitting spots. Coffee is great. Love esthetical vibes

    $11 for a matcha?? Thats absolutely ridiculous and absurd as I have had much better quality for lower pricing. They have housemade almond milk which is pre sweetened and is too rough on the throat and also overpowers the whole drink making your latte taste like almond milk not matcha and then when you ask for extra matcha they charge you even more and they stingily give you a little bit and if you ask for more they say theyll charge more. Highly do NOT recommend.

    Very cute petite coffee shop inside Buck and Mason in Abbot Kinney. The 'Kinfolk'ish look of the store itself made it gorgeous, and I might be biased but I loved Abbot Kinney's ambience that always gave that slow-living vibes. The baristas were all super friendly and welcoming, and I loved the idea that they kept their menu pretty simple offering all the basic ones with couple of their signatures! I went for their sweet latte, which for the size prolly bit on the expensive end, but the area didn't get me surprised. TBH it's probably not my preference of coffee given the acidity, but if you're those within that boat, you might love it. Not plenty of seats available so this was probably more for your short stop and go for your caffeine pickup.

    If this place was strictly for the vibes then I would be giving it a 5 start rating. The meticulous detailing for the interior design is a breath of fresh air. I wish there was more seating around, but it is a tight space after all. I ordered some tea and iced coffee which were just okay. This place is more for the aesthetic, which completely floored me! I think it's also a good space to catch up with some friends.

    Fast Times is tucked behind the Buck Mason store. They opened in November. The staff was very friendly. They also have a curated collection of books to buy. I came yesterday around 1pm, and it was very busy. I recommend the Nitro Cold Brew! I definitely would come back!

    The interior is stunning and cozy, with limited, intimate seating. They offer vinyl, plenty of books, and curated clothing, which adds to the overall vibe. I ordered the spiced maple latte and it was perfectly made--balanced and not overly sweet. The baristas were super chill, brought great energy, and clearly know their espresso. Will definitely be back.

    Very disappointing experience. We drove about an hour across Los Angeles specifically to visit this cafe, but it was closed for renovation or some internal reason. Google still showed it as open. Staff were inside and people were moving around, but no coffee service was available. A waste of time and no warning for visitors.

    Dear Yelp Community, This place is amazing! Hidden behind Buck Mason, truly beautiful interior design, landscape, coffee shop combined with products (books, pottery, etc.) and fashion. I had a cortado, and enjoyed walking around the shop. Friendly staff. Well wishes. Sincerely, Anna

    Went to Fast times on a Saturday afternoon, was able to find parking luckily. The ambiance is very nice and aesthetically pleasing. Leaving a 3 star review because the matcha was subpar, it was grainy, not as green and overall very expensive for what it was (I am an avid matcha drinker). The coffee was fine, nothing too crazy. Customer service was also good.

    Friendly staff. Great coffee. Cool vibe. The coffee area is a bit small so we didn't stay too long. Will definitely be going back tho.

    Excellent tasting coffee! Highly recommend the Bees Knees (honey lavender latte) + Spanish Latte…read more(cinnamon + condensed milk). In addition to coffee, they have a curated collection of vinyls for sale. We purchased a few 1970s-1980s funk and soul records from South-East Asia. This will be my go-to coffee shop in LA!

    If I had to pick one coffee shop that lives rent-free in my head, it's Menotti's…read more Yeah, the prices have gone up over the years, but somehow I still find myself thinking about this place all the time. It's one of those spots that's worth the occasional splurge because the quality is just that good. The Spanish Latte is easily one of my favorites and a must-try if you're visiting for the first time. But if you know about the secret menu... sheeeesh. I'll have to gatekeep that one. Let's just say it's hands-down the best latte I've ever had. Perfect balance, amazing flavor notes, and one of those drinks that makes you stop and appreciate how good coffee can actually be. The atmosphere is just as great as the coffee. There are games to play, cozy corners to hang out in, and little hidden gems throughout the shop if you're paying attention. It's the kind of place where you can grab a drink and end up staying way longer than you planned. A true Venice classic and still one of the best coffee spots I've ever been to. Staff is amazing and just feels just a community, they make the experience feel incredible for just getting a coffee

    OVERALL: QUALITY MEETS QUAINT! In my opinion, Saint Maxime is the best espresso + ceremonial matcha…read morespot on Rose Ave in Venice, and quite possibly the best on the Westside of LA. It is a thoughtful blend of the highest quality beverages with genuinely unique flavor offerings, paired with the charm of ordering from an impeccably kept Airstream that feels both nostalgic and intentional. I love their classic cappuccino, but the special menu is creatively unique, if you're into that. Interesting options like the Fig Leaf Cream Top Cold Brew and the Banana Cream Top Matcha Latte are truly delicious and beautifully balanced, without being a cloying sugar bomb. This has become a favorite quick and easy yet elevated activity with friends on a quintessential sunny Sunday in LA. Also the owner who is always there running the show is super kind and has clearly mastered barista artistry which adds to the overall experience. Saint Maxime takes pride in their powerfully compact business and it comes through with every sip.

    I love how the great coffee just keep flowing in Venice Beach…read more FLO COFFEE BAR has limited indoor seats and none outdoors. The space is essentially a garage with the garage door open. Of course, it has been reno-ed so it is sanitary AND esthetic. The line "goes out the door" because there really isn't an "indoor". But not to worry, it won't be long before you make it to the front of the line and get to order your drink. I was ever so glad to see a "Nico" on the menu, but upon reading it, the "Scarlet" is what I ended up ordering.... and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. The roast they used is sufficiently strong. The spices were delicious. The location is a stone throws away from the end/beginning of Abbott Kinney. We were able to find a parking spot on the street nearby. There is no private parking lot. On a Saturday morning, it didn't take us long to find a spot. I'm not sure how it will be during the weekday. If you so need, there is a parking lot with meters a couple of blocks away. A "block" in this area is pretty short. The baristas know their regulars and are friendly to newbies like me.

    Came here for a quick stop & grab matcha fairly early in the morning during the week…read more Lots of early morning bikers were also there hanging out and drinking coffee! I would say mid 30-40s crowd The servers were kind & fast to fill our orders. They had very minimal seating and not much breakfast options besides some pastries Would have loved to have some breakfast sandwiches even if they were premade It was a bit chilly in the morning and they have opening area instead of enclosed The ambiance was busy and laid back
