I love how the great coffee just keep flowing in Venice Beach. 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. read more

Came here Friday morning around 9am to grab a cup of coffee/tea! There were few people there. This coffee shop has covering but mostly has open air vibes. Minimal seating and is more of a stop and go coffee shop They had small donuts, but not actual food options! I wish they had croissants or small breakfast burritos or sandwiches! Very cute vibe for a quick stop & go shop They were recognized for their latte art and have dine in cups for guest for find seating and stay to hangout read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while and what better time to visit than Coachella weekend one--when the west side is less crowded! I found parking easily and was second in line. They are dog friendly so I brought my pup. I ordered the Iced Matcha Americano with a cream top and Agua de Jamaica. The iced matcha americano was perfect--enjoyed the earthiness without the bitterness. The cream top was the only source of sweetness. The texture was nice. The jamaica was refreshing and wasn't overly sweet. The total was $18.60 including tip for both drinks. Staff was welcoming and service was quick. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is free but can be limited. Overall, my experience was positive and would come back whenever in the area. read more

Flo Coffee Bar is hyped for a reason! I love the concept of such an open "hole-in-the-wall" coffee spot because it truly feels like such a neighborhood coffee spot, and they have the drink quality to back up the vibe. I got their most popular drink, and I love the attention to detail they put into the creation of every drink. I wish their cup sizes were bigger because I finished mine in record time, but I can tell their coffee is of really high quality. read more

I came on Saturday, and I got the Nico, which is one of their signature drinks, and it's not very sweet! It's a cute aesthetic coffee shop with a bit of seating! Giving it a 4 because they are only open until 1pm, not on Sundays/Mondays, parking can be tough, and it is pricey! I would still come back! read more

Flo Coffee Bar is hot right now! My friend and I stopped by on Saturday morning to be met with a long line. We waited about 30 minutes to order and they were out of an ingredient for their main drink - The Nico - when we got to the front. So I liked the Nico but will forever wonder what it was supposed to taste like with the additional ingredient they ran out of. Staff was nice but wasn't really listening to us. We had to order a pastry three times before they heard us as they were laughing with their fellow employees. I love a good environment where people are happy to work ofc, but maybe also listen to the customers. No knocks given for this as I think it was just busy and they were trying to have fun with the business. That said, the donut we had wasn't great and I wouldn't get one again. The Nico was good but I don't think I'd get this drink again. Both items were fine but not great so I'm not dying to come back to try more. It really is a cute shop and they have some cool drinks but I must say I wasn't impressed on my first visit. I'd try something else on the menu next time I'm in though. read more

Discovering Flo coffee was like sitting in a classroom for an entire year, then turning around for the first time and realizing there was a hottie sitting behind you the whole time, and you never knew it..... AND they gave you their phone number! I work out daily down the street at Gold's, and drive by this place daily, and have only caught ephemeral glimpses of people gathering, but never really paid attention. Today, I decided to turn and look over, and discovered there was cute little coffee bar. I HAD to pull over and give it a try. Flo is owned by Gabe, who, after 20 years working in coffee, decided to open his own place. It's small, cozy, and absolutely delish..... just like that highschool hottie that sat behind me. I tried the signature iced "Nico" (coffee, maple cream top, cocoa powder), which is an amazing signature drink, but until I try a few more drinks, can only give 4 stars for now, but I have a feeling it'll be an easy 5 stars after a couple more visits! Note they're open Tuesday thru Saturday, 7am to 1pm. read more

Dear Yelp Community, I visited this venue for the first time during February. I really liked the coffee shop design (with an art gallery inside). Small and intimate, so, if you would like to have a seat, there may not be one available. The owner is an award-winning drink artist (see photograph). I ordered the cortado, and the coffee was noticeably smooth (not acidic), so I told the staff, and I was informed the shop creates its own blend. I highly recommend trying this shop. Enjoy, and well wishes. Sincerely, Anna read more

I first started following Flo after trying their coffee at an art walk, and I was completely impressed. Behind every small business is an owner doing their best to make it, and if you know even a little of Gabriel's story, you'd be proud too, so it's nice to see him finally have a space of his own. As an owner-operator, he truly puts his heart and care into every drink. Yesterday, I finally stopped by the new shop and tried the Nico and the Hampton. Everything was excellent - the vibes, the customer service, and, most importantly, the hand-crafted beverages. The only thing I'd change is wishing I lived closer, haha. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in all of Los Angeles. Chill, amazing coffee, pretty glassware, quirky seating, funky retro decoration like 80's era speakers and cacti. But, every now and then, you get the snarkiest, nasty, disrespectful attitude from a barista. Like when my friend asked if they had heavy cream for his coffee. You would have thought that he asked for sprinkles or if someone would like a punch in the mouth. Old school vibe with new school attitude. It's too bad, because I really liked this little gem. read more

It was maybe 6oz (only 1 size option offered) at $6, add $1 for the almond milk. no thanks. ambiance: 1 star - super cute and intimate decor service: odd. I was smiled at but no one said anything for several minutes while I waited to order. maybe my experience just wasn't the norm? but pricing is steep for the portions / experience. welcome to Venice. read more

Food, service and ambience are impeccably nice. Food: donuts are pretty good, a bit pricey but what do you expect for the west side. Drinks: we ordered the Matcha and Cold brew with cream. I would say it's definitely in my top 3 cream top drink in LA. Only being surpassed by camel coffee in Silverlake. Ambience: we came in around 9am and waited for about 10-15 minutes to order and another 5-10 minutes for our drinks, All in all it's not a bad wait. If you'll compare it to other "trendy" coffee shops, lining up for your drink is basically part of the experience. read more

Great coffee shop located in an unsuspecting garage. Gabe, the barista, was extremely friendly and made some delicious drinks. We got the salted caramel latte which was the perfect amount of sweetness & The Nico which was a fun iced coffee with delicious homemade sweet cream. This place pays close attention to the details like a pinch of salt and cinnamon on each of the drinks, pulling all of the amazing flavors together. For sure would recommend this spot to anyone in the area. The garage has a few seats and has glass art throughout. You may be able to sit and enjoy the coffee but would recommend more for a grab and go! read more

High prices like these without any special validation, are sure to keep people from coming to these places at all if you can't afford it. Perhaps that's how Venice would like to keep it.

The ambiance was very chill California energy (I'm from New York lol), which I loved. The decor also was giving spa vibes in a good way. Byredo hand soap in the restroom, okayyyy! My server Joshua was super friendly and attentive, appreciated his good energy. Breakfast menu had a lot of delicious sounding options but I went for the breakfast burrito with hot sauce and it was fantastic. Breakfast burritos are very hit or miss IMO and this was a hit. I also had two cappuccinos bc I am a caffeine fiend and also jet lagged and they were both very good. Highly recommend to anyone in the neighborhood. I just realized they have other locations throughout LA too which I'm sure are also good but this one did not disappoint at all.

Saint Maxime 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.

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.
