EVER SEE A "SANDWICH BOARD" SENDING YOU TO HEAVEN??? When they said Goodboybob they should'a said GREAT! This placed is tucked away for the cognoscenti only betrayed by a sidewalk announcement "telling you where to go!" But not THAT PLACE! This place has got some amazing coffee, great burritos, resymade sandwiches and overnight oats and VINO, Kombucha and any beverage you can want. Their baristas are "sur catégorie" and the food is so good you might dream about it. THIS IS THE ONLY RESTAURANT I ALWAYS TIP 20% or MORE! THIS PLACE IS MADE BY MINDFUL TEAM AND THEY ARE AWESOME! read more

Unfortunately, TikTok let me down once again. Came on a Thursday around lunchtime and there was already a line. The coffee shop is tucked inside a complex but no parking for coffee shop, only street parking, I had to drive around multiple times. I got the BBL, the summer special guava yuzu matcha, and a Gold Coast burrito. The BBL was good, but honestly not "wow, life-changing" like I was expecting. When I first got the matcha, the color didn't look quite right to me, and unfortunately it tasted pretty watered down. I mostly tasted guava and could barely taste the yuzu. The burrito was also pretty small for $16 and was a little too salty for my taste. I did like that they cook it right in front of you, though! Overall, this place would be a pass for me. Maybe I just caught them on an off day, but I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Such a classic!! There is a parking lot that i think is valet only, lots of street parking, I walked here so I wouldn't be able to give you the best idea but there was lots of spots and lots of seating both inside and outside! Inside is very well decorated with all different kinds of seating, perfect for catching up with friends or working! Service was so quick and so kind. They kept the busy line moving quick and I got my drink less than 5 mins after ordering! BBL latte is the perfect latte. This is the latte I envision when I am just looking for a good classic latte. Absolutely delicious. Will def be returning. read more

It's worth the 10-15 minute wait. I got an espresso origin shot - it's got a strong spicy notes to it. If you like bitter and spicy you gotta try it. Iced flat white, half&half, extra double shot is a must also try. read more

Cute little shop that's usually pretty busy. I've gotten their matcha drink on multiple visits, and the latest one I had was their Volcanic Vanilla (because I looove vanilla). It definitely tasted like vanilla, but, unfortunately, there was absolutely no trace of matcha :( My friends also agreed. This also happened with the other matcha drinks I tried here, even if it wasn't the Volcanic Vanilla. Their service is great despite being a busy cafe. They have seating inside and outside, but usually the inside is already filled up if you get there anytime after opening. I also like how they have a water bowl for pets hehe Parking isn't too bad, since there's street parking everywhere. read more

The BBL (Brown Butter Latte) is the absolutely heavinly. In addition, all of their coffees/ lattes are always on point, and made with precision and love. If you have not tried, they have excellent burritos where they make in-house sauces, so good! Ambience is so cute and gives off trendy and local spot Santa Monica vibe that only people that work in the area or live near know about. Its Santa Monica's best kept secret. Also, they have great beans that we buy for home! Excellent service, always warm and friendly staff. 10/10 recommend! read more

Goodboybob has been on my list for a while now. I'm often in Santa Monica for work and always searching for a midday caffeine fix. I'm always on the lookout for different coffee shops, so I decided to check out Goodboybob and see what all the buzz is about. I love the exterior of the building with its moss-covered brick, which reminds me of Wrigley Field in Chicago. The building seems to be a repurposed industrial space, and I really appreciate the aesthetic.They have a cool photo machine where you can take a picture, and it prints a receipt with a QR code to save the digital image. I also enjoy the outdoor space with communal tables; it's a nice place to relax and enjoy coffee with friends. They have a cool photo machine where you can take a picture, and it prints a receipt with a QR code to save the digital image. I read that the coffee shop is named after the owner's family dog, Bob. I think that's pretty cool! Bob must be a really good boy. I wish there was a picture of Bob in the shop so people could see a face with the name. I wasn't sure what to order, so I asked the staff for recommendations. The young, skater-looking guy with the beanie and chain suggested the 'Nilla Latte ($7.00) as one of his favorites, so I tried it. Made with their in-house vanilla bean syrup, it had a really nice flavor that was sweet but not overpowering - a well-balanced drink. I've heard they're masters of latte art, and I can confirm it's true. The barista with the bleached hair and Freddy Mercury mustache was an absolute artist. It was so cool to watch him create the latte art right in front of me; I've never seen anything like it up close! I don't mean to sound like a fanboy, but that was pretty awesome. The staff worked diligently to serve drinks promptly, and the shop was consistently busy. I visited at 2 PM on a Thursday and observed a steady stream of customers. I would definitely be back for the 'Nilla Latte and to try other drinks. read more

This review is only based on the breakfast burritos and nothing else. I stopped by for a pick up and ordered two breakfast burritos. They were ready when I stopped by. I was looking forward to trying these but was disappointed. The main issue was the consistency of the burritos. They were both very soggy, the eggs were very wet. I did not get a good crunch or anything different from the potatoes. I would need to come by another time for the coffee or ambiance but my burrito experience was sadly not up to par. read more

HUGE fan of goodboybob!! I work nearby so i love stopping by either before work or during lunch (sometimes both...). They have really scrumptious breakfast burritos all made to order - I think I've tried every single one and they're all good. My favorite is this Wisco Disco (love Hook's cheddar!). And my favorite drink is their yuzu tonic either with espresso or matcha, both are great. Will continue to come here whenever I'm around :) read more

The staff here is really nice. They are clearly a neighborhood favorite. There's hardly ever a couch or chair or table that isn't occupied anytime you visit here. The clientele seems to be mostly preoccupied with their laptops inside the cafe, but the ones who sit just outside are more talkative types. I like that they have chai latte on their menu: my favorite drink, and theirs actually tastes good. read more

Coffee was decent. The burrito was not good. It remind me of eating at my local hospitals cafeteria-in a wrap. I asked if they could crisp my potatoes, they said they couldn't do that. I didn't expect it to be so mushy. The potatoes are very soft like a mashed potatoes texture, the eggs are fake. The mild jalapeño salsa has a lot of sugar in it. I just don't understand what everybody is raving about when it comes to their burritos. read more

I think this might be one of my new favorite coffee shops! Even just based on the interior alone, the vibe is hip and cool, but still feels really grounded and welcoming. There's plenty of seating too, so it's a great spot to either hang out with a coffee or get some work done. We got the BBL (brown butter latte) and the Volcanic matcha (gotta love the names). Both the drinks and the atmosphere were honestly 10/10. The lattes had really great flavors that felt unique from your average latte. They weren't milky, and had the perfect amount of sweetness. I thought I was going to like the BBL more, but I was pretty torn between the two. Definitely planning to come back, and I really want to check out their Manhattan Beach location too. read more

Can't say enough about this hidden gem. The coffee is to die for. The ambience is a vibe. You can order online to skip the line (note to me for future) as when I arrived there were about 8 people in front of me. Of course I got the almond croissant -- I think I mentioned before it is to die for -- it is what my dreams are made of. Same with the coffee -- it fills my coffee snob criteria. read more

goodboybob is a delightful communal cafe tucked away in the santa monica neighborhood! the long line that extends out their door on weekends is well warranted. their coffee is well balanced and their latte art is impeccable! their breakfast burrito is as amazing as folks claimed, too! ORDER 01. brown butter latte ("BBL"): house-made caramelized butter syrup (containing REAL butter), espresso, & milk 02. gold coast: eggs, beef & potato hash, avocado, pepper jack cheese, scallions, & cilantro crema in a whole wheat wrap i was worried the burrito might be too dry on account of the whole wheat or too greasy because of the hash, but it was neither dry nor greasy! all the ingredients came together beautifully. the burrito felt healthy and satiating, enough to feed two adults! note that this item is only available at the santa monica branch! the "gold coast" is the cafe's take on the california burrito, whereas "the six" is the cafe's take on the standard american breakfast. pick the former if you want something more savory. pick the latter if you want something more sweet. in any case, the hot sauce served on the side is a must! SPACE the open floor plan allows for plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, so the atmosphere feels relaxed. there is one unisex restroom available. WI-FI stable! read more

Hipster vibes all around. Currently operating in the midst of a parking lot during renovations which detracts from any ambiance. Drinks were nothing to write home about and fell short of the hype I had heard about the place before trying. Not sure if the grind settings were off or tamping too hard but there was a lot of fine grounds at the bottom of this latte. A pro is they seem to make their syrups which is a nice touch but I wouldn't be back for the price and quality read more

The decor is simple and comfy with a mesmerizing wall of photos of celebs drinking a cup of Joe. Their excellent food menu is worth noting. I had one the best breakfast burritos I've ever tried with smoky bacon, avocado and eggs. They've also got a wine program with natural wines. This hidden gem is worth checking out. read more

RIP Chapati!!!! ;( ;( The breakfast menu has been nuked. For a few years they use to make the most amazing take on a breakfast burrito -- the chapati. Crispy exterior, tasty wrap. Exceptional ingredients inside. Now its been replaced by usual ol breakfast burrito you can get for 25% less anywhere else. On top of this nuke, I got my usual big 6. The cheese wasnt melted inside and the eggs didnt taste good, like the boxed eggs from the hospital cafeteria. They were very pale yellow almost white, proof of poor quality yolk. The maple butter was also no longer good either. It was weak, just buttery in the burrito. The actual tortilla is also just whatever doesnt have that nice wheat stone ground taste just gummy. For $14-16, it is not worth it. I hope they bring back the OG chapati as others start to notice. ;( read more

Unfortunately my experience was less ideal than expected, my friends and I got the cosmic cream top (ube cream over coffee), matcha latte, and new moon latte (sesame latte). The flavors sound exciting, but the cosmic cream top lacked both a prominent coffee and ube flavor despite the color, the matcha was quite milky, and the new moon latte did not taste of sesame. It was visibly busy when I visited, but the drinks came out reasonably quick. The cafe itself is quite hidden from the street, tucked away behind what looks like a business complex. The environment is cute, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and there is only street parking. read more

Really nice, hidden cafe in Santa Monica! My partner works nearby so when I'm off, I like to accompany him and then get some work or reading done at this cafe. They have a pretty wide array of items and are really nice and friendly. I usually get their Matcha Latte, but they have a lot of interesting coffee drinks that are seasonal - such as the Brown Butter Latte (BBL), and their Volcanic Matcha/Cold Brew. They're also well known for their burritos which come nice and hot. I order the Wisco Disco - which comes with potatoes, eggs, cheese, and green onions. I enjoyed the burrito but I would have preferred the burrito was grilled shut with some more structural integrity. They have seating indoors and outdoors - and wifi with no password. :) Highly recommend a visit! read more

Really nice little local coffee shop tucked away in a business area north in Santa Monica. They serve mixed drinks, beer and more in the afternoon hours, but I've only been in the morning. This place was pretty busy the whole time I was there, but kept people moving really well, very good to see! There's a good size space inside to sit down with couches and a couple tables. We grabbed a couch while waiting for coffee and it was surprisingly comfortable! It's a small space, but the way the couches are worked out, it's spaced out well and you don't really hear the people around. There's also a ton of tables outdoors as well. They could probably fit 50 guests comfortably. The coffee was great as well! Served in a nice glass on ice, with good flavor. My partner grabbed a bag of their beans as well! Great looking bag and it tasted great as well! It's a little tucked away, but if you can find it, this is a hidden gem in one of the busiest cities! read more

Solid, does the job exceedingly well by nailing the 1) coffee lounge aspect (great couches, outdoor reclined lawn chairs, high tops) with a nice clean hipster aesthetic 2) marzocco machine does a great well made standard cap for those coffee snobs. They also always have a fun iced latte seasonal menu that although I always succumb to wanting to try something new off this seasonal menu, I always get reminded that the standard vanilla latte or the standard cappuccino is technically (quality wise) better. Their iced lattes are still delicious but doesn't quite hit the spot as other specialty latte spots like Yeems. Each coffee spot has their strength and this coffee spot's strength is definitely their hot latte or hot cap and just the excitement (not necessarily execution) of their flavored iced lattes. 3) PARKING. Finally Santa Monica location with a huge free parking lot with ample parking no matter how long the line gets. 4) dog friendly! Dogs can be inside or outside, they offer dog water, treats and an optional dog entree for $6 (meat, sweet potato, veggies). Got the vanilla volcanic sea salt iced coffee. It was good, not too sweet but the sea salt vanilla cream which was delicious was kinda just whipped heavy cream and didn't integrate with the thin consistency of the iced cold brew under neath. Still enjoyable but just not executed as good as Yeems. The iced matcha guava latte was a little on the sweeter side and presented itself more like a yummy fruity milk tea drink. The guava syrup was made very well and didn't taste artificially sweet. read more

Always great food and coffee! I love their seasonal Matcha drinks, and their Santa Marta Gesha pour over coffee is worth it, especially if you drink coffee black.

FYI: They don't accept cash so be prepared with a card if you want to enjoy the deliciousness! read more

After a stellar 5 star experience, I had a 3 star experience :( Goodboybob is a serious coffee shop, or so I believed and experienced in the prior visits. I was warned by a coffee aficionado that their problem is consistency. I didn't realize what that meant until today. I ordered the side show Bob, which is the same coffee bean expressed as an espresso and pour over. The espresso was excellent. I was super impressed. I chugged some sparkling water that they so helpfully provide to cleanse my palette and waited for the pour over to get to room temperature. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. It tasted over extracted, lacking any of the subtle flavors of a beautiful Ethiopia from Rako. When you pay double digits for a coffee at a place that's renowned you don't expect it to taste like gas station coffee. I asked for a refill of the sparkling water in case my palette was blown. But nada. It still tasted one noted. When I checked with the helpful baristas, they confirmed that both the espresso and pour over should taste special, not just the espresso. In fact they agreed that probably they need to tweak the grind size and try a coarser grind. Ironically, they said someone else had the same complaint. So what would be a reasonable expectation? To redo it right? Except they didn't offer lol. This is the difference between a good and a great coffee experience, ones who truly care about their quality and ones who are running a business or caffeine delivery. I'm not sure where we go from here. But I remain deeply disappointed that a neighborhood icon fell from grace. If you do decide to visit, make sure you hit the notes, and maybe I should've been assertive and asked for a redo, but it felt rude to ask when it should've been the default offered. Goodbye Bob :( read more

Wonderful place! I really enjoyed the coffee and the vibe here. Definitely recommend.

Delicious drinks and yummy breakfast burritos, to be enjoyed in the indoor living room-esque seating area or outdoor high tables. Many people on their laptops here, they have fast WiFi so good for doing some work but not the most ergonomic seating. Parking is confusing, the lot was blocked by cones. I parked in the alley way -- seemed okay? $27 for a burrito and two drinks + 15% tip Highly recommend the Gold Coast. read more
