Good People

Selina Gonzalez

I love the horchata lattes and the purple Nurples. The people are so nice that work here. One of my favorite local spots close to work.

This is one of the coolest places around! They support the local community, have amazing drinks and food, and always have smiles on their faces! Recently, they even got new art from a local artist =D

A classic LA venue with la ideals and values that make it a lovely place to get coffee or matcha. All the coffees and syrups are house made and delicious. And a true size large!!

The staff were very friendly and caring. Feels like they enjoy to do what they do good. Nice and chilly atmosphere. Tasty food and good coffee. The place is dogs friendly, they even have treats at the cashier and bowls for water in the backyard terrace. The venue is very clean, there was not a bite of food leftovers on the floor my dog could find. We had really good experience. I wish more places would be like this

Great terrace and atmosphere, coffee is good grade but the price goes along. Be careful to not park on the boulevard. They will tow your car! Came again, still as wonderful, keep it up💯

We went here for the first time a few weeks ago and have already been back. Great place for brunch/lunch/whatever you're after. They have lots of unique coffee drinks and solid food options, and a nice patio area. My partner got the shroom panini both times, and I've gotten the breakfast tacos and the turkey bacon panini. Highly recommend all! Also recommend getting their salad - very refreshing and comes with really good pickled onions.

My fav breakfast/brunch spot around west LA with a wonderful team, great coffee, tasty food and an amazing patio space that hosts comedy nights on Thursdays and throws down other cool events. My all time fav are the cheese danish and k-town breakkie burrito.

Ordered their mushroom panini and it’s one of the best I’ve ever had. I believe they used brioche bread, which was a great addition to the sandwich. The sauce was the highlight as it added a lot of depth and flavor, alongside the sautéed mushrooms. Soooo good. Highly recommend. The place also has outdoor seating at the back of the place which is shared by a neighboring restaurant. A good place to study (if you bring earphones) as the music can be quite distracting.

The barista made my drink while I was waiting in line/deciding on my order :) that has never happened in a cafe for me before! The music was a vibe, Black & Brown owned, and the patio is Breath-taking 🌻 An LA gem forsure

Very friendly staff, I had coffee latte which was excellent. The person with me had bought their taro coffee from Bonsai a few doors down, but the staff was super welcoming to them as well. In fact, the owner made them a taro coffee on the house, so they could taste the Good People version. The place is basic from the inside, does not have the typical coffee shop vibe, but to me that’s the reason for its very rustic, homey charm. Underrated, hidden gem in Santa Monica for sure. Check it out.

The F the 405 Americano was perfect and my 50's breakfast hit the spot. The outside patio is spacious and yeah the music is louder than most but it's good music!

ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY! It’s the little things. The atmosphere, the delicious drinks and food, and most importantly the care and courteousness of the staff. 100% blown away. Secondarily, I am such a coffee snob. I’m tired of paying other companies $6-$10 for a cup full of ice and mediocre coffee. I literally cannot stand that. I think it’s an abuse. GOOD PEOPLE DOES IT RIGHT! Good coffee worth its price. Because it’s made by good people for good people. Thank you all! (Only four ice cubes😊)

Tucked on a quiet stretch of Market Street, this spot is bright, friendly, and unpretentious. I grabbed an oat flat white and a warm ham-and-cheese croissant that was buttery without being greasy. Baristas are genuinely chatty and ask how you like your roast. There’s strong Wi-Fi and plenty of outlets along the wall. It’s my new “get things done” café near SoFi without the crowds

I enjoyed having my breakfast here. My meal was very tasty. The coffee flavor wasn't my favorite but it's not bad either. Very fast service.

Staff was great, will update on the food, because the FOH guy recommended the Philly Sandwich instead which was super neutral taste. Should have stuck with the burger but will be back for more.

The perfect place to work! Outside patio and great music and lovely people. Only drawback is the price for the quality.

Great, welcoming community space. I love that the back space is used as a patio to seat dozens of people instead of parking for a couple of cars. The food is okay, eg the burger had cold buns and cold cheese, but it's a coffee place, not a restaurant. Good vibes.

Food and coffee are great. Love the mushroom panini and the heartbreaker. But I waited 25 minutes for a bagel sandwich I paid $17 for and it came out cold with unmelted cheese.

Ok. Do Im a first timer with my girl. I was here when it was cacao. Ordered this one piece of bread is off and my girl ordered avo toast . Got a cortado and girl got a almost milk latte. Bill was 48.00 plus. My feelings about the food were fine. But at 15 for mine and 14 for my girls. The size. ...no garnish. The presentation was not great I mean I'm this competitive environment with coffee ..food stores. I believe the owners need to be on their game. And...I feel. This store really isn't. . when your at that price point ( I thought that both items at their size .presentation were worth like 3..4 dollars less ea ) Would I come back. Poss just got the coffee drink . At a 48 dollar bill. Smaller complete portions. ...etc I feel the store really couldn't get me back again . My comment to the owner. I know rent etc is high over where u are. You need to up your game on portions. Poss added ganish..good on plate. Salad or. Really not that wowed. Best to u guys

“Good” People but uses AI art as advertising outside. Seems a bit hypocritical. I refuse to support business who don’t hire real people to do their work.

It used to be my go-to coffee place but not anymore. They have turned into a club or what? I went there yesterday and the music was horribly loud and super bass-y. Felt like I was at a club or something. Can't have coffee in peace. I feel like it's some server who likes to play horribly loud music and is ruining the whole atmosphere there. I would rather go to Bonsai coffee shop next to it. That's so much better as I can drink my coffee in peace and talk to the other person without having to shout at them.
