I am so thankful for Cafe Collage, which is prominently located near the Venice boardwalk, yet still offers a bit of an escape from the touristy places. It feels like more of a local spot and offers better quality food at more affordable prices. I was thrilled to see they had many vegan options too! I opted for the vegan breakfast burrito, which sounded very savory and hearty! You can place your order right at a kiosk and they make it promptly for you! The staff were so friendly and helpful in ensuring I got the correct order. They have a few tables available for sitting both inside and outside. While the chairs weren't the comfiest, they were still sufficient while I waited for my order to be made! The ambiance is bright and cheery and colorful. The breakfast burrito was fantastic and so filling! I actually wasn't able to eat it all at once and had to save some of it for later! I loved the taste and texture of the braised tofu and the hash brown was perfectly crispy and not too oily! The guacamole was also a star in being perfectly creamy and well spiced. I would definitely recommend this dish and order it again! The jackfruit is also calling my name, though, so I would love to return soon just for that! Their pastry case was also filled with some delicious looking vegan pastries! Parking was fairly easy in their neighborhood with plenty of free parking but there are also meters and paid parking lots available if you need something closer!

It's 4th of July and I finally get a chance to really hang out on some of the beach cities such as…read morevenice, Marina del rey, playa del Rey etc etc. normally back in the day when I used to work in these areas, I would run from making an appearance anywhere on the 4th of july. But that was then, and this is now. Dipped into this wonderful little cafe that's at ground zero of everything Venice beach. And while the main server was a tad bit pushy, the iced coffee I requested to show off in one of the pictures was a 10 out of 10. If and when you decide to roll through to Venice Beach you definitely want to hit up this particular cafe.

This mini cafe has a modest menu of sandwiches, salads, Acai bowls and yogurt. The hot sandwiches just takes a few minutes to warm up and serve. The cold sandwiches and salads are pre-packaged and ready to go. The service was good, nice, quick and efficient. I would stop here again when I am in the area. Sincerely, Rosemary

MOJO Cafe is located in the Marina del Rey Hotel. It was convenient during our stay when we needed…read moresomething quick to get our morning started. They serve Illy coffee. I got an Iced Vanilla Latte (4 stars). They also had hazelnut and caramel flavors. I also tried the Croissant (3.5 stars). My husband and I got a Green Machine Smoothie (3 stars). We both ordered it without whey protein. I liked the flavor of the smoothie. It seemed that they didn't adjust the other ingredients to fill up the cup when we requested modifications so we were disappointed in this $12 smoothie. The menu isn't big, but it has a good variety. There were hot options like a breakfast sandwich and burrito. Cold items included an açaí bowl and yogurt parfait. Baked goods included bagels and muffins. There have some lunch items too. The service was 3 stars.

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!

Got an açaí bowl with blueberries, bananas, granola, and bee pollen. Simple, right? You'd think. It had 35 pounds of açaí base that taste like absolutely nothing, barely half of an entirely overripe banana, a quarter cup of mushy, seemingly previously frozen blueberries, a cup of puffed rice they claim to be granola, and some bee pollen. The entire thing tasted like mushy nothingness. My friend also got a bowl with different toppings and said the same thing to me. We also both got the honey bee latte and it tasted like oat water. $40 down the drain. CORRECTION: $48 to be exact.

You can tell a lot of thought went into creating a spot that feels both welcoming and unique. I ordered the chilaquiles and they were incredible. Easily one of those dishes where you're already thinking about coming back before you finish your plate. For drinks, I got the Glory Latte and it was perfect. The espresso actually shines through, and it's not overloaded with sweetness like a lot of specialty lattes can be. If you're looking for a simple, well-made latte, this is it. And if you've got more of a sweet tooth, they've got plenty of creative specialty drinks to choose from too. This place feels like it's about to become a local favorite. Definitely a new go-to spot, and I'll be bringing all my homies from the area here soon. Highly recommend.

Their service was genuinely friendly. The place is beautiful and spacious. Gives a positive beach vibe. They have small tables outside as well and for those who walk their dogs, they offer a bowl of water and treats. How sweet! I sat outside and enjoyed the sun and salty air.
