There's parking in a lot next door, otherwise street parking close can get tricky depending on the time. I highly recommend getting a coffee and an any pastry and walk to the beach. Everyone is always friendly.

Greetings! My long overdue review for Tanner's is finally here! I visit this place while working so…read moremy time is limited, so my apologies! For me, this place hits home. I'm a bus operator and layover down the street, so this is the perfect 'usaaa' place for me to unwind and just be in one with the abyss. Its my peaceful and relaxation time from all the up & down chaos from the city streets, as I drive through it lol. I do like the ambiance. It is definitely a modern style luxury. Not too fancy, not too poor of a setting, it's just right. Being shoreline close to the beach, I think is pretty cool! I'm normally there in the mornings and the staff is always great and ready to help you. I even phone order sometimes to beat the line and time and they are always great over the phone as well. One thing that I really like is that they openly answer any of your silly questions you may have. I love coffee, but I'm not a coffee connoisseur and I know it can go far deep and there's some coffee places where you walk in and you automatically feel like you should already know what you want? Well this really isn't the place. I would say their coffee is a little different and I finally had the courage to ask why and it's their espresso. It just always taste a little bit more stronger no matter how I ask for the latte, which I don't mind. I just didn't know it was espresso being used on the latte. Let's dive into the food; If you're reading this part, I'm assuming I still have your awesome attention so I'll get right to it, the 'Green Eggs & Ham Sandwich on a jalapeno bagel hits 10/10! You should definitely give that one a whirl. I also switch it up and go regular croissant as well which also tastes really good. Now I don't know why they don't add mayonnaise to their sandwiches but be mindful to ask for that if that is your go to as well. I finally tried their pastries on my last visit. The chocolate chip cookie does have a unique taste, which I really enjoyed and it was not too crunchy yet still somewhat soft, which made every bite really good. I think I got the loaf of bread too, but I might've saved it for my mom :) If you're a regular, I would recommend getting in their point system. After signing up, I got a free pastry on my third visit. They give you cashback rewards in store credit. Btw, i did notice they moved their menu around a little bit since the time I took their menu pictures, so don't hold them to it lol They are dog friendly btw! So bring them on that nice walk or trip. You may not see it, but they do have a restroom for customers that you can use. And one of my lovely things I like about it is that it's always, clean! I'm sad that I got relocated to another division, but in the near future once I'm back, I will definitely be back, thanks!

Not only is the staff warm and friendly but the food is outstanding. I've only been here 3 times…read morebut every time the food is really good with excellent service. Very clean with a large menu. The food is made to order and quick to be served. I had the eggs Benedict with spinach. The sauce was really scrumptious. It wasn't your normal just sauce. Very flavorful. There was fabulous seasoning that made it stand out in flavor over any eggs Benedict I've had in the past. Very reasonably priced at $12.95. Also had a large iced cafe vanilla. Not too much caffeine. I'll drink it really fast when it's good and it disappeared quickly. $6.00 also very reasonable for the size. Excellent place to grab breakfast or lunch and go walk the beach. You can sit inside or out on the patio under umbrellas. Wonderful little gem in Playa.

Excellent meal today. Everyone loved the food. We grabbed food to go and ate brunch on the beach…read more So delicious and the service was really nice. They have a huge menu so I look forward to going back next time I'm in the area.

THIS IS LONG CAUSE I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH!:…read more Soooo: SUMMARY (FOR THE RUSHY RUSHY PEOPLE): great vibes has French music of different genres flowing in the air. DELICIOUS food (kudos to the chef). Good portions for the price. Food takes time cause it's bomb. #DontRushGreatness. Wonderful staff! Would love if open more hours to resume fun events ex: wine tasting open mic??? more chargers needed, clean bathroom. Parking lot small and tricky. Please be careful on that intersection. Traffic lights are meaningless to some. Beautiful decor ! And they change the menu :-) Go there it's lovely. Tell your crew but keep it classy. THATS IT! Phew. NOW GET COZY AND READ ON IF YOU HAVE THE TIME: The owner and her staff are so kind warm and welcoming! I've been coming here for what feels like a year? You walk in and feel instantly relaxed from the decor. Think ; vacation spot , "White Lotus" season 1 and 2 vibes. TIMING: The morning time is really popular from what I hear and there is sometimes a line. However go between 11-2:30 (closing time) and very calm 90% of the time. If/When there is a line people are so nice! No joke! Maybe because it's not a place you rush things. Everything is made fresh so some dishes take a bit of time. So I suggest going when you are not in a hurry. Or order to go. AMBIANCE: If you are a music lover, and enjoy international grooves, a French radio station or playlist is always on. Plus it's different styles of French music! There was rap, hip-hop, jazz, alternative. So while in line you'll probably find yourself tapping your feet. I really like the booths for the privacy. When it's busy those go QUICK. The basket chairs look glorious but I haven't tried them yet. Not sure if they are still up. But one day I'll nest in there...one day. NOW THE FOOD! The menu changes every so often which is exciting ! If you are minding your dollars and cents it's a bit pricey. HOWEVER, the food is great quality and from the dishes I've ordered the portions are a good size #WorthIt. I like their coffee and that they have milk alternatives. And I appreciate the menu is not overwhelming. If there are condiments they don't carry (due to the authenticity of the restaurant) they always recommend something comparable as a substitute. RECOMMENDATIONS: I dislike eating breakfast when it's not time for it. But when I come here? It's on! The goat cheese omelette is fluffy and delicious!! I add chicken to it que magnifique! (Hope that's right as I'm not using Ai in this moment . Apologies if it's wrong corrections welcome #respect) They had a juicy burger and it was so good they run out of it pretty often. The lox bagel has a decent amount of lox! The home fries aren't greasy (great with avocado for some reason) Bannana Bread is so tastes and moist! It feels more like a cake. I'd buy the whole basket but that would be unfair to "the OTHERS..." Just kidding lol. The lemon squares are about to be my new addiction too. But they keep it real sometimes popular dishes run out. And that's ok, it's a boutique spot. It's also a mini-rush when you order a dish that's finally available lol. ADVICE: PURPOSE: I'd come here for a smoothy after a workout. Breakfast with peers or a more relaxed business mtg. if you're in an ASL (Or any group/team) club like I was this is a great place to meet. The light is fantastic! They have their own wiFii. CLEANLINESS/KIDS? Their bathroom is clean. Place is spotless. You might see a table with dishes to be cleared but it's never overwhelming or a bunch of tables in that state so, chill! I'm not sure I've seen a lot of families with kids in there. And I'm not sure if I saw a changing table. I have a 4 year old so I look at things like that but I know they'd be very accommodating. DRAWBACKS?: I've only seen one outlet over a booth in the middle? So make sure you are charged up or have a looong chord. They also close pretty early when I'm there at 2:30pm. CREATIVE PLANS FROM STAFF: However, one of the baristas shared with me they used to be open longer. But due to Covid it's been slow. So they adjusted the hours. They have lots of ideas if things pick up. And I think in the past they did wine tasting with selections directly from France! I think they could have a fabulous open mic poetry night. Maybe even a small live band every so often. Game night classy style? hehe. If they allowed the tables to be moved I'd do an art premiere there! No joke #Ideas. YOU, yes you: Step one? Get more awesome people to adore this place like I do. So check it out! Enjoy the food and ambiance and the kindness. I'll see you at the open mic wish I could add a pic but maybe next time!

I got the strawberry latte, it small -- you can pick…read morebetween 12 and 16oz, but if you get it iced, keep in mind that most of that is just ice, so just get the 16oz. The drink was not very flavorful or interesting. The pastries didn't really entice me, they seemed generic. I went next door to the donut shop and got a donut instead, good choice. IMO, the service was just meh. Nothing wrong with it but not friendly. I also really hate places that don't have a visible menu except when you go up to the register, which seems to be a trend recently for some reason. For the cafe portion, I give a 2/5. As for the plant and goods door next door, I liked it. I respect that the plants sold are mostly easy beginner plants like pothos and snake plants, which makes sense for spur of the moment plant buys, but they did have a few interesting ones. I'm giving 4/5 to the store section since vibe was atmospheric and pleasant. As for the merch, it was kind of cheesy since I speak Japanese (tomodachi and arigatou hoodie lol) but nothing wrong with any of it.

My favorites are My Son's Pho (it's my favorite pho on the West side) and the N Seoul Bowl (which is light but hearty and the portion is so generous I always have leftovers for lunch). The Sunset Strip Burger is a major crowd pleaser. The Northern Lights pasta is cravable. The service is always warm and welcoming, but never hover. Love the staff. And it's usually quiet inside, pretty small. We've never had to wait for a table. It's such a gem, we were instantly hooked. I just wish I'd known about it sooner.

DO NOT BUY THE DONUTS UNLESS IT IS TUESDAY…read more They will let the donuts sit for days and still sell them to you. Donuts don't taste the same even after one day. I was sold old stale donuts on a Monday and found out from a friend that eats there regularly that they are delivered fresh on Tuesdays. This is exactly why my donut was so old. It had been sitting for 6 days and sure tasted like it. Thanks a lot Nataly for selling them anyway. Yes, they did refund my card after I had to call and request it twice, but at least it was finally done.

Triple Bookmark it!!!!!…read more Coffee Connention by far is one of the prettiest coffee shops I have been to. Not because it is new, but because it has the most amazing patio. It is so peaceful and pretty. You just have to see it to understand what I am talking about! The coffees are delicious! I got the ancient Maya latte (half sweet) and it was delicious and just perfect. They serve their drinks in ceramic cups which I LOVE. The parking can be a pain but if you have time and would like to get some steps, park in the CVS/ Chase parking down the street and walk. PERK ALERT: If you are a teacher, student or in a health care industry, they give you a discount, which is just awesome!!!!!! I will be back soon!

When looking for a place to study after work, I enjoy coming to this chill Mar Vista coffee joint…read more There is often enough parking on the street and when you go in, you will realize that there are plenty of places to sit at depending on what environment you want to be in. There are several areas including a courtyard and couches, too! The service was awesome and friendly when I went last time! I got a Matcha Latte with Almond Milk and an espresso shot. To eat, I got the Chicken and Mushroom Empanada. These both gave me the energy needed to finish what I had to do. I ended up sitting indoors for a bit and easily transitioned to an outdoor setting within the establishment. What a find!

Well, it's been quite a while since we dined here and, after tonight, we are wondering why we…read moredidn't come back sooner. The last time we were here, it was during a busy lunch and both the service and the food were below par. But tonight, it wasn't as busy and our server, Geovani, was excellent. First, we were quickly greeted and asked to select our table (since they were not that busy). Since there was only two of us, we picked a table for two. But, after we decided that we would split an appetizer and an entree, the table for two became way to small way too quickly. Geovani jumped right on this, suggesting we move to a larger table. He helped us move everything over and, voila, we were able to stretch out and relax and enjoy our meal. We started with the pear and blue cheese salad and, wow, we could have just ordered this, split it, and we would have been full. Very flavorful, generous portion that is definitely big enough to share. We also ordered the Sausage & Leek Fettuccine and I was definitely not thinking. Totally forgetting that leeks are part of the onion family (and I have a sensativity to onions). Once the dish arrive, I immediately noticed the similarity and was slowly trying to pick them away from my portion. Once again, Geovani came to our rescue. He asked how everything was and I told him I made a mistake (noted above). He quickly volunteered to have the kitchen make it again without the leeks. I asked, "Are you sure?", and he immediately said yes and removed the dish. Very shortly after, he returned with the "onion sterile" dish and it was wonderful. Both of us were so full you could have rolled us out the door. Good thing the parking garage is so close so we could just hop in our car and go home. Time to loosen the belt! ;) In a week where we have had some personal issues, it was so nice to be treated so well and received such a great tasting meal. Hope you get the time to stop in and I hope you get Giovani to answer all your questions and issues. Enjoy!!!
