    Vibez 1,000,000! One of the best coffee shops I have been to in some time. Literal ocean views from the window and the staff plays an eclectic selection of records which only adds to the atmosphere! Cool staff and great espresso, make your way over to this gem. Pro Tip: also a seafood restaurant with huge natural wine selection for later in the day!

    These baristas are so professional. The drink is perfectly and carefully crafted. This is a place to trust the baristas and just go with the menu. I loved my mocha! Not too sweet, rich, and the touch of maldon salt on top really enhanced the flavor. It's petite but we savored every sip! I love the peaceful vibes. Parking can be tough, it's Venice Beach.

    If you're an espresso addict like me, this is your place. A perfect cortado in every way - the espresso is beautifully balanced and not overly sour like many of the trendy places these days. Nicely has created a haven for true coffee devotees - and they are flocking here!! Nicely - you made me a believer. See you again soon!!

    不嫌远还挺值得一试 周三至周日8am-1pm借用自然酒餐吧Dudley Market的空间,真是在海边的小店,走几步就能到海滩,简约、随性、温馨的木质调内饰,客流量也不大 ····· Cabraccino Five ounce goat milk cappuccino 【山羊奶卡布奇诺】 入口能分辨出用了羊奶,但不是很冲很浓郁的风格,只在回味中有些许咸腥 咖啡师技术在线,奶泡打得绵密细腻,融合度也很优秀,就是这浓缩有点奇奇怪怪,照理说DUNE的豆子不该如此浓烈,说不上萃得难喝,但这突出的苦味太抢戏,影响了整体的平衡感 ····· 【Cafe Rico】 Espresso 浓缩|homemade vanilla 香荚兰糖浆|orange zest 橙子皮|breve 伴侣|cinnamon 肉桂粉 这杯非常好喝!赢过Dayglow与之类似的Warhol,无论是香气还是味道,都充斥着贼浓郁的橙子元素,甚至连香荚兰和肉桂都体现不出自身的特色 本来不喜欢伴侣的奶精感,好在只是作为点缀,整体的风味既丰富,还能保持清爽

    I was hunting down a place that was near the beach and had top end single origin espresso. A challenging expedition but this spot delivered ... it's inside Dudley Market.

    There's no surprise that I'm already Hooked on this Venice Beach coffee shop. This coffee/wine combo spot serves up wine in the evening and espresso in the morning/afternoon. The space is super aesthetic, offers live music, comfy furniture, and quirky decor. They're on the newer side and have a pretty limited coffee menu. I kept things simple and ordered a vanilla latte and oak milk. It was 10/10. Sadly they dont offer food at the moment and I'd love to see them partner with a lock bakery to serve pastries in the mornings.

    The coffee here has been on my mind everyday since I've had it. Unfortunately, it is an hour away from where I live but if it was closer, I would become a regular. The vanilla latte is literally the best I've had. The barista, who may be the owner (wish I had asked,) was so passionate and put a lot of love into making each cup of coffee and you could just tell he loved every second of it. If you're in a rush, this isn't the spot to go to. It does take a bit longer to get your drink since the same person taking the orders was also checking you out at the register and making your drink. But if you have that extra time then I'd 10/10 recommend coming here. The vibe of the cafe is amazing, super clean and very kind staff. A gentleman individually brought out water for all the guests as soon as they were seated without even asking. Smiles all around.

    Came here Sunday with a group of folks to grab coffee. The place is cute with some nice records. Since there is technically one barista, it took a long time to get coffee. After waiting in line 30 minutes I ended up getting an Americano and a French toast donut. The Americano was decent. I believe their beans are from a place called Dune. The French Toast donut was excellent! I was really glad I got that because even though they said they added sweetener to my coffee, it wasn't sweet (they don't have sugar or sugar substitute). The total for my donut and coffee was about $13 which I think is too pricey.

    Mocha latte
    Andie D.

    So good I had to order one for the road. This place sits on a quaint corner a few steps away from the beach and is a whole ass vibe. Genuine and delicious we ordered the mocha which was topped with shaved dark chocolate and sea salt which blended together beautifully. The salt and the shaved chocolate danced in my mouth as the expresso balanced the mood bringing a full body flavor in each sip. The service was 100/10 authentic and customer focused. Would recommend trying

The cappucinos, lattes, chai and matchas were prepared well, but the quality of the ingredients didn't quite hit the mark. The gelatos particularly were not good and next time I would suggest ordering their drinks over the gelatos. The French toast donut we ordered was fresh, fluffy and perhaps the best of all our orders. Five stars for service. On a very busy holiday Monday, only two staff members were managing a long line of customers near the end of what I could only assume to be a very long and busy day. Despite appearing overwhelmed, they remained patient, professional and attentive..... and didn't make a single mistake with our orders. Their effort truly stood out and elevated the experience.

It was a lil' thicker than your typical mango lassi, but the faint sweetness did a great job at masking the earthiness of the kava.
