Menotti's Coffee Stop

Meagan McCall

Menotti’s Coffee Stop is a popular local dog friendly coffee spot in Mar Vista on Washington Boulevard with plenty of indoor seating options, and although there was a consistent line while we were there, it moved rather quickly. There is free street parking in the neighborhood, but make sure to read the signs to avoid any issues related to street cleaning. Have you ever been to a coffee shop with a secret? This was my first! You’ll find one hidden in plain site at Menotti’s. Pro Tip: Before you order, discreetly ask your barista for the secret menu location, and they’ll shift their eyes to point you in the right direction. When we went, it was hidden behind a framed photo hung on the merch wall next to a bicycle. I love a surprise & delight moment, and I ordered one of their top secret menu items, the I and I, commonly known as a 1 and 1, a split of an espresso shot, the other half with your choice of milk. I recommend oat milk, and it’s great to enjoy them side by side so you can really taste the notes in the espresso. They have special treats at the counter for dogs and our treat connoisseur Olaf the Doodle approved.

The few times I’ve been to this location, baristas have been friendly and efficient - even when there’s a line, service is quick. Whenever I was in a bad mood because of going into a challenging environment on Venice Beach, Menotti’s yummy Spanish latte was an instant picker-upper and always made me feel happy.

My favorite coffee place in LA. I love to have cappuccino with almond moll and this gluten free pastry

Cool. Delicious top tier Spanish latte. Stylish chill baristos. Great vibe. LOVE the big open window. Definitely one of my favorite LA cafes to rest and breathe at.

This place is definitely worth the hype. I’m lucky enough to live close by, and I absolutely love their coffee. It’s got amazing flavor and gives you the boost you need to get thru the day. The ambiance is really chill too. The baristas are really helpful, friendly and cool. This is an awesome spot to stop in for a coffee or come and chill at with friends or to get some work done. Definitely try it if you’re in the area.

Just stopped by Menotti's coffee shop on Washington Blvd and was blown away by the Spanish latte! The space is clean, minimal and styled nicely while the staff were friendly, knowedgable and by God, really know how to make a fantastic coffee! Oh, they also have a variety of pastries from Gjusta, yes and thank you!

My coworker Andy recommended this spot to me saying they have the best espresso in LA. Andy if you ever read this review. You were so right. I came here with no thoughts just knowing there we’re definitely good vibes and. The good vibes were delivered. The barista was so nice and so were all the other coffee goers like me. They heard it was my first time and all recommended the spanish latte. Which I got and it was busting. Absolutely the best iced Spanish latte I’ve ever had in LA. Will more than definitely be back. Also super fun that they have a hidden secret menu.

Every time I’ve visited this location, the baristas have been friendly and efficient, and even when there’s a line, the service moves quickly. On days when I was feeling stressed heading into a challenging environment on Venice Beach, Menotti’s Spanish latte was the perfect pick-me-up—it instantly lifted my mood and always left me smiling.

I’ve been coming here every single day for the past 2–3 years, sometimes even twice a day. That pretty much says it all. Consistently great, and I can’t imagine a day without Menottis coffee.

People have been telling me to check out Menotti’s for a minute and I wish I’d come sooner! Grabbed a cappuccino with the wife and it was a great spot. Easy parking, GREAT vibes, solid drinks!

Menotti's has the best Spanish latte's. There is usually a line but it goes quickly and this location has convenient parking in the back and on the street in front. The ham and cheese is also delicious but usually sells out quickly so go early in the morning to grab one!

Excellent Latte and nice selection of pastries. They also have a turntable spinning tunes, and records for sale. As well as free wifi

Consistently excellent beverages! I usually go for an oat latte, and the beans available for purchase are also great. The staff is so friendly and helpful (a rarity in LA). Although the music selection is good, I don’t care much for the atmosphere. The industrial aesthetic feels very cold to me, and all the hard surfaces create a space that can get incredibly loud. Because of that, I prefer to take my drink to go.

The espresso is so good! And the almond croissant is out of this world! Friendly staff too. I highly recommend

Tiny but stylish café near downtown Culver City. Their Spanish latte is popular, and I see why — rich and sweet. The playlist is always on point too. Limited seating, but people cycle in and out quickly. A solid coffee stop before work

The Spanish latte is my LA favorite. It’s not overly sweet, touch of cinnamon, and you taste the coffee. It’s perfect. Menotti’s is a cute vibe. It can get busy. But I enjoy the music and sitting by the big windows when I want to have my coffee there.

Cute spot to meet up. Limited seating, but cozy. Parking easy behind the building. Long line, but music was good. Coffee : standard cappuccino - no frills. I would have liked a darker roast. Croissant 🥐 very heavy, bread like-not traditional French croissant.

delicious coffee without the aura farmers. shokupan was also decent

Menotti's Coffee Stop in Culver West is a sunny spot with a nice porch seating area and with a relaxing vibe. When I visited on a weekday morning, it had a full house and the atmosphere was friendly. My flat white was on point, but the service seemed a bit too casual.

Coffee and customer service were good. However I likely will not be returning due to the fact that there is no bathroom, one single outlet in the entire cafe, uncomfortable seating, and bugs. Big disappointment :(

Went yesterday and was met with the rudest “service”. There was an older couple in front of me who had already ordered (barista was rude and impatient with them too) but they were blocking the menu. I had just had surgery on my eye and needed to read the menu with an app. I picked up the menu to move it to a flat surface so I could scan it. I wanted to do this without interrupting the couple- they were in a deep discussion. There was no one else in line. The barista snapped at me, scolded me for moving the menu and spoke so condescending that I just walked out. On my way out she yelled a sarcastic “have a nice day”. Yes, yelled. To the point other people laughed at her. Didn’t need any of this. I was in pain, could barely see and was just trying to accommodate using the app so I could “read” the menu. This isn’t the first time she has been rude to me while ordering, but it will be my last time supporting this business
