    Such a cute setup!

    Great place! Avocado toast and lavender latte. Also couldn't skip the chocolate chip and pecan cookie!

    Welcome to RUSTIC COFFEE.

    Rusti Coffee is a little trailer coffee shop on West Channel rd in Santa Monica. They have a a good selection of coffee, tea and smoothies. Moreover, they serve basic breakfast. Outdoor seats are limited. They are popular amongst locals because they provide good service, drinks and breakfast. Staff were competent and affable. Plenty of street parking. Atmosphere was relaxing. Prices were modesty and competitive. I enjoyed their Avocado Toasts and Iced Coffee. Overall, I truly enjoyed their service and food/drink.

    This is a quiet cafe tucked away inside of tiny shopping center. I'm pretty sure it used to be a parking lot. I think the best part was the quiet atmosphere. The oat milk latte I order was very good (but it didn't blow me away). The lady who took my order was pleasant. No complaints. If you happened to be in the area and need quiet time with a cup of coffee, this is a good place.

    Wow I tried their gluten free bar and their chai latte and was sooooo impressed! Idk why it's been hard to find solid gluten free and vegan drinks and snacks these days that are bomb but this spot was it!! No wait and everything came out so fast. Service was great and it was a cute vibe, walking distance from Will Rogers. Enough street parking too!

    Thank you for Latte! I really liked it! It's very cute and small coffee shop. Hope see you soon again!

    I stopped by Rustic Coffee for the first time today and I had a great experience. They make amazing coffee and had amazing service...keep doing what you guys do best, thanks and I will be back !!!

    Maple Scone
    George S.

    At Will Rogers Beach watching club beach volleyball, and needed some coffee. Stumbled upon this gem! Coffee and pastries are amazing! If you come early and happen to score their scones, you won't be disappointed. Scones are very flavorful, moist, and simply delicious you need to have more than one. We had the Orange and maple scones! We also tried their Spanish, white mocha lattes. They have alternate milks as well. The staff were so helpful and friendly, and our orders came out quick. They work out of an old Airstream RV, very cool! They have table seating on the side with umbrella shades. Pet friendly too! Come grab a bite and some coffee next time you're in the area! Happy Nom Nom!

    Iced latte

    Rustic Coffee is a hidden airstream-like gem on W Channel Road in the Pacific Palisades part of Santa Monica. If you want to try coffee by the beach, this is a great spot to hit on your way. They have some seats and tables available in the courtyard, alongside a few other vendors. The staff is extremely welcoming and friendly, and has a genuine warmth to them that makes you want to return. We went with the iced oat latte and hot mocha. For non-dairy options they have both oat and almond milk. My only wish would be that they'd also work with a local specialty coffee roaster that fits their local Los Angeles vibe. They have a large selection of beverages, including smoothies that I'll definitely be trying on my next visit.

    Americano and Spanish Latte half sweet
    Soraya S.

    My boyfriend and I loved this place. Definitely returning. We ordered an Americano with two pumps of vanilla and a half sweet Spanish latte. Both drinks were so delicious. They use great coffee. For breakfast we shared the chicken salad toast and the ham and egg croissant. The chicken salad toast was very tasty. I would order it again! The croissant was surprisingly not too messy and it had an interesting touch of the hard boiled instead of scrambled eggs inside. Not bad. Service was great

    Macchiato
    Kenneth R.

    I came for a macchiato, which didn't impress me especially. A few hours later, I returned to see how this place would do on the food end. I ordered a ham and cheddar sandwich, which turned out to be the single most delicious thing that I ate during a three-day stay in the Santa Monica canyon. I like Rusti and would come back again for further coffee explorations. After all, no one is perfect! This coffee-shop-in-a-trailer business reminded me immediately of Highwire Coffee in Albany, CA https://www.yelp.com/biz/highwire-coffee-roasters-albany . I guess that this is a thing. It's a good thing too: what else are you going to do with that old trailer?

    Latte

    They have a good coffee. Nice place to visit for a fast breakfast. We have not tried food, but can recommend coffee definitely!

    On our way to Topanga Beach and stop for coffee here. Cute camper repurposed in a little courtyard. Coffee was good, staff was friendly and we happen to see Don Cheadle (bonus)!

    Always a good time with great friends, yummy food & the best coffee around! Smiles all around at Rustic Coffee! #rusticcoffee

    Sandwiches and scones are really tasty! Best Avocado toast in PP/SM! Great service and the owner is a gem! Love the outdoor seating, esp on sunny days! Best ambiance with the beach just a walk across PCH!

    Do we know what ingredients are in the chicken salad mix?

    Is this place ever open if it rains? Wasted my time coming here a few times as it states it's open but there's no employees.

The valet isn't quite worth it if you're only getting a coffee and pastry - almost feels like an upcharge on a lightly pricy snack / drink. That being said, the almond croissant? Worth every penny! The almond croissant has a generous helping of almonds and features a nice, crispy exterior and light, fluffy interior. My excited nibbles sent them bread shards soaring through the air! I also had an iced latte, and i often don't finish my drink the same hour. Well, I did here! The espresso they added was nutty and dark; the ice made it a little watery but it was tasty nonetheless. To enjoy all the goodness, seating is available indoors (for a more rustic feel) and outdoors (for a more garden feel). Come early, though, not only for parking and fresh bread, but also because there may be a short line!
