Point Lume is a solid coffee place! I got the teddy bear latte. Next time, I would order something different. The cinnamon flavor was a little strong and it was a bit expensive for the size of it. Parking is easy and is free in a structure directly behind. read more

FOOD - delicious avocado toast, as always I have a hard time justifying anything more than $7 for an avocado toast, but it helped that this was yummy. It had avocado, radish, red onions, and goat cheese. It was yummy. SERVICE- Super sweet and welcoming staff. They were very nice people. AMBIANCE - Chill spot. Super cute space with lots of light, and felt quite warm in terms of feel. Very nice space and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Will definitely return, since we live around the corner. read more

I absolutely love the environment inside the restaurant. I love that it's not overly bright but light enough to see everything. I always breathe easier with all the green plants and it feels peaceful being surrounded by so many of them. I had to kill some time while waiting for my daughter who lives in Playa Del Oro, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to relax and treat myself to a teddy bear latte - upgraded to large and with oat milk. I also got the chia-misu pudding for a special treat and also with protein. Both of them were exactly what I wanted. They hit the mark, they had layered flavors and I love the different textures of the chia-misu - which did taste a lot like tiramisu. The total came to $24.30 for these two items (I did add a tip), which is more than I usually spend on coffee and a snack. To be honest, it surprised me. I truly appreciate the owner responding so quickly and explaining everything - it cleared up my confusion. In the end, it was worth it. I always prefer to support little coffee houses instead of corporate and would still consider going back for special treats. read more

I've lived in Playa del Rey for nearly a decade and have passed by this corner seriously countless times and I watched it change names more than once. But somehow I never stepped inside until last week when a friend and I decided to finally walk over for coffee. And wow... I should've checked it out so much sooner! Long story short, Point Lume completely exceeded my expectations. It's a charming, inviting cafe with a modern aesthetic with plenty of tables to sit and sip. The space seems to be pretty thoughtfully designed with beautiful greenery (plants always elevate the vibe for me), and convenient access to outlets which is so perfect if you're looking for a chill spot to work or study. I ordered a hot matcha latte (of course I did)...it was smooth, well-balanced, and made just right. My friend also loved her drink (iced) and we ended up hanging out in the cool air conditioning and enjoying a leisurely break before walking back home. The menu offers a lot of variety with both drink and food options, extending beyond a grab-and-go coffee shop. The staff was welcoming, and service was quick and friendly. As others have noted, Point Lume is also conveniently located near LAX which makes it a great stop if you are waiting to pick someone up or need a quiet spot to decompress before or after a flight. All in all, Point Lume is a great neighborhood cafe that I'm glad I finally explored. Definitely a welcomed addition to Playa and my rotation of coffee shops! I'll definitely be back!! read more

My latte was so good and customer service was amazing!!! My friend ordered her beverage and it wasn't what she was expecting (not the barista's fault at all). When mentioned, they really made a point to have it more to her liking. It was very kind of them and totally noted! Will come back again for sure. read more

Stopped in to grab a Matcha before hitting the airport. I was pleasantly surprised the flavor profile was really yummy and refreshing, it wasn't overly too sweet. It was a good consistency and not watery and the Matcha tasted good. It's a cute little coffee shop. And the barista was sweet. read more

Point Lume - Mango Matcha Latte - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stopped by here on a Wednesday morning to kill time before an appointment. It's located right on the corner and easy to find. We parked for free in the garage around the corner. We both ordered Americanos and the coffee was delicious. I liked the vibe of this coffee shop; it was painted dark inside, with hanging plants, but sunlight coming in from the front windows. It wasn't crowded and there was good music playing, but we could still hear each other. The baristas were efficient and chill. Pastries up front that looked good as well. The customer bathroom could probably use more attention but at least it was there. I would return here if I was in the area again, recommend! read more

Good spot to work. Breakfast bagels are yum. Chai latte was off and a little too sweet for my taste. Will try something more plain/standard next time. Service was average, nothing out of the ordinary. read more

This is a great place to work, study, or just relax near LAX. There is a lot of tables to sit at and plenty of outlets to charge your devices. They even have some regular USB and USB-C outlets! There are large floor to ceiling windows that face the street, which is really nice because it brings in a good amount of light and gives a nice street view. I got one of their seasonal drinks, the TeddyBear Latte (Iced), which was a good level of sweetness with honey and brown sugar. The staff was very friendly and helpful with their recommendations! Parking was relatively easy to find as well, as there is a large parking structure connected to the cafe and you can park there all day until 11 PM (that's what I was told). read more

This place used to be Proper Coffee, but apparently they had to change the name due to Hotel June being next door and didn't like their "proper name" since that hotel is owned by Proper hotel group. The service was quick and friendly. My go-to is iced black coffee and it was very good and refreshing. The inside had wood decor and green landscaping. There were a handful of people working happily on their laptops. It's right next to LA Fitness, so it's always a nice stop after a workout. read more

Tried this place for the first time on a Sunday morning. Figured it would be safe to stick to their signature drinks as a first timer. I was wrong. The teddy latte was all milk. It was pretty disappointing. It seems like a good place to study but not for good coffee :( read more

One of the best cafes in the area, highly recommend! The matcha is delicious, they have a great selection of pastries, and the drink specials are always interesting. read more

I got the teddy bear latte and a coffee cake muffin. The coffee was not on the sweet side which I like but it did have some chunks of brown sugar. The service was amazing and they got my order out really quickly. This cafe has lots of seating and has wifi. read more

Point Lume is a good cafe if you're looking to get some work done and study. There are lots of seating available and electrical outlets. It doesn't get too busy too when I came on a Saturday. Tea and pastries could be improved. Not bad but not your artisanal house roasted coffee. I ordered a jasmine tea, and it was good but definitely from a tea bag instead of loose leaf. Staff was friendly and nice. Free parking is plentiful in the building. read more

Perfectly decent coffee shop. They use Lavazza beans so it's a darker espresso than third wave coffeeshops. Their bagel sandwich is surprisingly yummy, especially with the jalapeño cheddar bagel. It's a chill place to work since it stays on the quieter side. And the ambiance is wood tones and greenery. read more

We came here to chat for two hours, and I found the seating overall comfortable. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with oat milk, and the balance was perfect. I'd come back here again even just to study! read more

We came here and got some coffee and pastries today. The shop is near a college and seems to be tailored towards that crowd. It was alright. There's good parking underground for free. The staff was nice but didn't really seem to know a lot about coffee when I asked what their best coffee was (hoping they had some bean options). They told me people like their vanilla lattes which is fine but I was hoping to talk coffee a bit. I ended up getting the espresso macchiato (not a latte) and my wife got an iced almond milk vanilla latte. The espresso was a classic espresso made with robusta beans (the European type that are more bitter) I personally prefer arabica beans but that's just my preference. The vanilla latte was okay but "tasted like a milkshake" according to my wife. It was very sweet basically. We also got some donut holes which we personally weren't huge fans of. They were obviously not super fresh and the dough was very dense. The lighting in the shop was also very dark for the middle of the day which isn't my preference. Overall if you're looking for a coffee this place will fix you up but it's not anything special. read more

Great place, stayed for hours studying and was able to get work done without interruption

This coffee shop is great for working. There are outlets and a comfortable ambiance. The staff are friendly and the coffee is good!

Came for an afternoon coffee on a Weds and there was plenty of parking in the free parking garage, plenty of seats available inside. Fast service from amicable staff. A modern coffee house with all the regular drinks and pastries. Ordered a chai tea latte, wasn't too sweet (which is good) and just enough spice. Reasonable prices. Clean establishment with public restrooms. read more

So we start off with the location. It's a stone's throw away from the airport with free parking! That in and of itself deserves five stars however, I digress. Parking was pretty easy but I can see how it would be challenging to find parking during busy hours. I entered the coffee shop and it was clean and smelt delightful. I was greeted by Marcos who had a friendly and professional demeanor. My current go-to is an iced latte with coconut milk and no sweetener. I was excitedd to know that they offer coconut milk as an alternative to whole milk. To find that is very uncommon. Upon hearing my possibly unique concoction, Marcos advised me to try it just to make sure it was something that I liked. I believe he was hinting that they would remake it if I didn't like it which is a nice touch. In very short order I received my coconut milk latte and the first sip was wonderful. The coconut milk tastes of nice quality. The espresso was ideally brewed and tasted great. The coffee is exactly what I get; it's delicious. This coffee is a slam dunk! I highly recommend this coffee shop. read more

This coffee shop has great ambiance for getting some work done. The coffee is Lavazza which is always a great cup of coffee.

Coffee tastes burnt. Staff seemed unknowledgeable of coffee (i.e. asked what milk I wanted for an iced americano).

No fan in the bathroom, no soap, piss and paper on the ground, broken code box. All dudes working there, no leadership in crew. They need betyter training and quality control. read more

Came here at 12:15pm April 11, 2025. The staff were professional and friendly. The music was perfect. The ambiance was calming with live wood tables and hanging plants.

Went today (1/12/24) with some friends. I got a chai latte and they each got a caramel latte and match latte. I've been here before and gotten pretty good coffee so I don't know what was up today. When I tell you they were the most milky drinks we ever had I wish I asked for the barista's name so I could make sure he doesn't make my drink again. He was wearing a red flannel and def needs some more training. read more

Ordered a coconut latte straight up, tastes okay, however, way too sweet and added way too much sugar???, and I did not order any sweetener shots???? read more
