There's flies in the bakery case. So I have doubts on sanitation of the fruits going in the shakes
John C.

There a flies in the bakery case. Service is fine. There are vegetarian options. Overall if you need to it's fine but I have doubts about sanitation.

'No shoes, no shirt' is not applicable to this Venice local morning haunt. Acai bowls, sandwiches, bagels, pastries, coffee, matcha. They offer anything you could want pre-2pm. I like the vibe in here, I think there's a quieter study spot upstairs, but tables outside and some limited bar seating inside. I particularly like the open windows. The line and food service moved fairly quickly. The pastries were just ok, hence the 4 stars. I've had better, lighter, moister croissants and scones. The iced strawberry matcha was a bit too syrup-y, but nonetheless delicious. This spot is very reasonably priced by California standards and on a great street to walk around.

Cruising up Washington Street toward the Pacific (American?) Ocean, I spy a coffee shop with a half-dozen or so men of a certain age (viz. old) sitting outside. Thus, "The Old Guys Rule" is invoked. In we go. Busy, busy, busy. Good local vibe. The barista keeps the line moving. Coffee is very good. Pastries were just ok. The prepared burritos and açaí bowl looked good.

Adequate breakfast place. I had a wrap, my wife had a chocolate croissant, plus a very large coffee with milk for her and organic Earl Grey tea for me

Came here one Sunday on the earlier side for breakfast. A small, cramped ordering area with any bottled/canned drinks in the back. The guy at the counter taking orders came off a bit gruff at first, but quickly softened and recommended the avocado/egg-white toast. Seating's non-managed, so I just grabbed a table (alas, I had a family at the table behind me with a screaming toddler yelling in my ear the whole time, ugh). After a while I went back inside to see if they had my order ready, which they did. Food was good, but not that memorable (for breakfast you won't soon forget, I highly recommend Eggslut up the road!). Ate my food quickly and boogied outta there wishing I'd gone to Eggslut instead. :-(

Bagels were very good. Service was nice. Lot of regulars every morning, that's a good sign. Would come back.

Popular coffee pot on Washington in Venice Beach with a casual vibe with lots of locals. Picture a lot of gen x surfers, bare feet, dogs and a smattering of tourists. Coffee is decent, pastries subpar, but prepared food (bagels, sandwiches and salad) looked good.

We stopped here for brunch while renting bikes, and it was the perfect little spot to take a break. The area is super cute, though very busy, so expect some crowds. I got the Venice smoothie--it was good, but nothing mind-blowing. My date, on the other hand, got a bagel sandwich, and wow it was amazing! The bagel was huge, fluffy, and just perfect. Definitely had some food envy! Overall, a great brunch stop, especially if you're in the area and looking for something casual but tasty. I'd come back and try a bagel for myself next time!

indoor fun

Had a delicious iced mango matcha latte and sat inside the treehouse like space admiring the pothos growth crawling around the space. It's very quirky, with multiple levels and kind staff. Went right to the beach after!

Sugar free churro donut
John W.

We go here before our walks at Venice all the time. For my fiancé, it's one of her favorite strawberry matchas. For me, one of my favorite iced vanilla latte's. They also have a great assortment of baked goods. I got a sugar free churro donut and it was amazing. Highly recommend trying it if you're on the sugar free wave!

Great coffee! Great service!
Alex A.

Great coffee and great service! I just got the regular drip coffee which was delicious!

Do you have gluten free options for your baked goods? (Bagels, etc?)

Hi Lori… thanks so much for the inquiry. We do not gave gluten-free bagels but we do have slices of gluten-free bread you can substitute any of our signature sandwiches or any of our bagel sandwiches. You can also build your own sandwiches. We have…

This place definitely earns the ratings it has gotten…read more We ordered the Seoul Bowl, Po Boy Sandwich, Sunset Smoothie and a side of Grilled Organic Tempeh. Everything was fresh, good portions and most importantly actually flavorful. The Seoul Bowl was the healthier option and still had plenty of flavor. The Po Boy sandwich was my fav.. not exactly "health food" but not overly heavy either. Just the right balance. I had never tried pea protein shrimp before so I was a little skeptical but it was surprisingly delicious and worked really well in the sandwich. We both like our food spicy and they were great about customizing it for us. They added jalapeños to my sandwich and gave us spicy mayo on the side which pretty much made the meal perfect for our taste. The grilled organic tempeh was the only thing I personally found a little bland but my wife really liked it so probably more of a preference thing than an issue with the dish. The Sunset Smoothie was thick, tasted great and was a very good portion. Yes, prices are definitely on the higher side but unlike some other places in the area where you pay premium prices and leave wondering why, here the portions and especially the quality made it worth it. We would definitely come back.

Second fave was the drunk cauliflower. And then the tikka masala. The Tikka was still good but maybe not exactly what I was expecting - very veggie heavy plate. They have so many more items on their menu I'd love to try. Oh and the teas come in a really cute beaker setup, and they can make to your desired sweetness. It's a cute little spot, space is clean, and they have a bathroom for customers. There's a small parking lot in the shopping center where you can park for free too, yay!

And then there was poop toilet paper in the bathroom trash can. It was noticeable because it was filed to the top and was facing upwards. Both single stalls were occupied for 8 minutes. Making it seem like it impossible to wash my hands. My cloth napkin at the table had a brown stain on it. After seeing poop I couldn't stop thinking about poop. The food is over priced the dishes are no big deal. I would not return again. I liked the outdoor patio.

FOOD I tried a medley of their different types of pressed juices, vegan soft serve, and different healthy shots. Everything I tried was so fresh and delicious. The tropical soft serve was so flavorful and one of my favorites! I also loved the detox tonic, I'm a lavender lover so that one was a nice touch. I bought the Beauty Shot, the Detox Tonic, and the Unwind Tonic. SERVICE That was the best service I've ever received on a sidewalk in my life. Morgan was sooooo accommodating and let me try as many different things as I wanted. She made great suggestions based off my needs and even helped me pick the things I'd be buying. She sold me on so many things just by giving me the full experience. AMBIANCE It was a nice storefront setup and an ideal location, perfect for a Sunday stroll. I'd definitely visit this location to be helped by her any day. I'd suggest trying out this place especially if you drink pressed juice often. Also, they have a membership club with some great perks that can help you save money if you buy pressed juices/shots often. The baristas are friendly and the drinks/food are delicious!
