    It was my late afternoon caffeine break and this coffee house was nearby. I ordered an iced mocha and it came out just right without being overly sweetened. They offer seating inside and it's reasonably spacious. Montana is a very cool hip area to hang out at and walk along it's pleasant streets.

    Was in the area & stopped by on a whim for pastries. Cinnamon roll & peanut butter cookie were delicious! The roll was light & fluffy with great flavor, & the cookie was so soft! Already love this street, so many great spots in this area & it's not too far from the beach so as far as convenience it's great if you're nearby. Staff was very friendly & our cashier (whose name I didn't catch but he was lovely! I remember he was wearing a cute tinkerbell pin!) had such a fun vibe.

    I can't say enough good things about this Peet's -- and they saved me from having to search around for a new coffee shop after Starcrooks let me down after all these years. I first want to say that the people that work here are the absolute Best! They are so nice, helpful, and go the extra yard to make sure you are taken care of. Add onto to that great coffee loaded with caffeine, a happening atmosphere in the middle of Montana=giant success. Not to mention great coffee cups with the truck lid! They gave me a free one when I walked in the 1st time with a coffee cup from 10-Speed that had no stopper and the coffee was splashing out. It's been here for years, but I only recently stepped inside when my former favorite location of Starcrooks on 26th and San Vicente installed automatic coffee makers and the coffee is now S. Followed up by the Starcrooks on Montana also installing the automatic machines. It's no wonder that this Peet's business spiked over the last month with new customers--refugees from Starcrooks. Let me tell you how strong the black coffee is here: One cup keeps me me up for 3 days! (Drinking 1/3 every morning.) So if you are tired of the new bad coffee at Starcrooks or anywhere else--or bad service anywhere--come on over to Peet's and let them treat you right. Just one caveat--if you are one of the coffee shop rats that likes to bring your computer and sit at a table inside all day--better get here early especially on the weekend. They should probably rent those tables for $5 an hour.

    The Golden (turmeric) latte is my favorite coffee beverage to order at Peet's and this location makes it the best. Their staff is very kind, personable & professional. They make their drinks with love & intentionality. If you're in the SaMo/Brentwood neighborhood, definitely check them out.

    I almost feel bad giving a 3 star rating because the staff here is absolutely fantastic, quick, and genuinely nice, but unfortunately the food and drinks at Starbucks are much better in my opinion. I still come here pretty regularly though because it's only a block away from my work and it's good enough to satisfy me. Peet's has a nice ambience with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and a big parking lot, so a lot of people come here to work remotely. It's a nice place to come if you want to get out of the house and work for a bit or meet some friends for a quick coffee.

    This was my first time trying Peet's Coffee and I'm happy I did! While it wouldn't be my first choice over a local spot, I find Peet's to be warm, welcoming, and tasty! The staff at this location is so friendly and fast, which really added to the experience. The shop itself seems like a great place to hangout or even get some work done. Thanks Peet's Coffee Santa Monica for the great service.

    12/8/21 Quality/Quantity - Iced Caramel frappe - made well. Iced black tea with 2 pumps of vanilla - added half and half from the bar. Atmosphere - Nice to find a Peets near the new place we were staying at. Free validated self parking next door. Service - Great customer service. Thanks Sean! Went beyond and above as I forgot how to use my Peets app. So happy to take a break from their competitors. Price - $6 - frappe $3.75 - tea Total = $9.85 Owner Suggestion - Peets is always our favorite chain; as you know we try to support small local businesses; not that Peets is small. But Peets locations are too far and in between.

The bright green colors of the store front are fun and the back patio is spacious. Everyone here, including the customers are pretty sociable. I had a couple shots at the front of the bar with the staff and took a mango lassi mixed drink to the covered patio in the back. The flavor combination of this was very refreshing. 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. It was bomb and I would have loved to order 2 but I hadn't eaten so that was not the move lol The space has their own parking lot, as well as easy street parking. The patio is nice and ambient with music playing and many boardgames available for your entertainment. The bathroom was clean and had some funny Barbie dolls on display in there. The effect of kava is mellow and puts you in a positive head space. It also does truly enhance your desire to have discussions and connect with each other. If you appreciate any of that, you will like it here for sure. Overall, the kava served at Kavahana is well mixed and the environment is curated in such a cute way, it just makes you want to come back and chill out with the homies. I highly recommend!

It was absolutely amazing -- flavorful, high quality, and perfectly put together. From the first bite, you could taste all the layers of flavor in what honestly felt like a masterpiece of a burger.

The soft peanut butter chocolate cookie was also a huge fattie with peanut butter chips within the chocolate cookie. Both were enhanced with a quick warm-up. I loved both of these cookies and think the chocolate chip is the very best you'll ever find. We also had Portuguese egg tarts. The pastel de nata (if I recall, this is what they are called) I ate was small but good, but I have had others that were more to my liking, with a sweeter custard and a more caramelized top, which I guess is a personal preference. Not to say it wasn't delicious - it was! I love the cookies so much I'll be checking out their Irvine location soon, which is much closer to me.

Unfortunately, that's no longer enough to keep me coming back. Every single male employee I've encountered here is unfriendly, arrogant, and borderline rude.

Today was the last time I'll ever spend my money here. Life is too short to pay premium prices just to be treated with disdain. The quality of the drinks and food is solid, but it's simply not worth enduring the nasty attitude. There are plenty of other fantastic coffee shops in the area that offer both great products and pleasant service -- places like Grand Luxe and Lala Land come to mind. I won't be back.
