Cafe Collage

The food here is absolutely heavenly! The cream and cheese bagel + Nutella and banana bagel were out of this world 😍 10/10 recommend!

Vegan breakfast burrito is amazing. Coffee is delicious and friendly staff. Tons of vegan pastries also; croissants and danishes.

stopped by for a chilled water bottle at this cafe near corner of famousvenice sign .#cafecollage #venicebeach #coffee #tea #cafe #breakfastallday #Venice #losangeles #LAfoodie #ad @cafecollagevenice

I really like this place. I stumbled on it walking down the boardwalk one day and needed to get a cup of coffee. The person behind the counter said the coffee was really good and she was correct. The apricot Danish is my favorite. The place is quiet nice place to start the day without door seating and always an interesting place to watch people. They do serve lunch and some breakfast burritos which I haven't tried yet. Let me know, Peace!

Love this Cafe! I visit every time I'm in Cali! The owner is the sweetest person! Food is amazing! I miss their salads! Can't find anything like it in Vegas! Atmosphere, food & friends! I recommend everything!

Stopped in for a vanilla latte and a mocha. Both were great! Lattes were heated to a good temp (not burn your mouth hot) and they had quick service.

This place is so cool😍 I ordered a Nutella latte and pecan pie and oh god it wasn’t too sweet as most desserts here in US. And the coffee was really good👍

Good coffee, great location, friendly staff, and free fast wifi. A nice atmosphere to read, catch up with friends, or people watch

Collage Cafe still feels like the Venice that existed before everything got polished and expensive. Just a few steps from the beach, but without the boardwalk chaos — simple, relaxed, and refreshingly reasonable on price for the area. The food is solid, fresh, and exactly what you want for a casual lunch or a good coffee break. Nothing overcomplicated, just quality ingredients and a laid-back neighborhood vibe that feels genuine. It’s the kind of spot locals quietly keep in rotation while visitors walk past on their way to louder places. Pro tip: Skip the boardwalk crowds and walk a minute over here — better coffee, a calmer vibe, and you’ll actually hear your conversation.

BEST house coffee within a half mile. Excellent customer service, cozy, and definitely a great place to do business. I highly recommend it.

Cozy coffee shop Best matcha drinks around Venice 😋 Great sandwiches Good service A must try spot for all your cafe needs

Yummy good quality matcha with lots of mango puree which is an perfect combo! Friendly staff made the drink super fast, good atmosphere, lots of seating if you’re planning to stay.

Best breakfast & coffee I’ve had during my stay in LA/Venice. Great price for great food & drink. Highly recommend ordering a specialty coffee. The affogato is the BEST as well as the Genoa. Split the collage breakfast sandwich which was perfect for us and had some pastries. Customer service was a plus too as everyone is kind and you get your food quickly. Definitely will be my go to breakfast in Venice.

I have tried their blt sandwich and it is my absolute favorite. I also tried their smoothie, iced spanish latte, and iced matcha latte all very good, my favorite was the iced spanish latte. They also have a welcoming customer service.

The team at Cafe Collage that we encountered this morning are super stars!! The woman who took our order and hustled to make our coffees and smoothie bowls while also tending to other customers and issues was just the kindest calmest person we could have hoped to help us and the nice gentleman that made our breakfast burritos and other items was speedy and kind. If I lived in Venice I would make a point of making this my go to breakfast and coffee spot. Thank you for the wonderful experience great coffee and delicious breakfast!!

This is the BEST little cafe I have ever been to. The staff is so kind and the coffee is SO GOOD! We came to this place due to Eggslut being to full and I’m so glad we did! We ended up coming here for a mocha frappe and breakfast every morning. Honestly I’m glad I don’t live in Venice or I would lose all my money to this place. I can’t say enough about the atmosphere, people, food and overall experience! 1000/10 and I will be back!! (One I work off the 20 pounds I gained while eating all their food)

Venice Beach ONLY cafe with the real vibe. Locals and tourists - all are welcome, live on the street ? Come on in. Enjoy Rays famous cuisine - all is reasonably priced (well for Venice!) the last building with history (1993) that isn’t taken over - placed under the historic Venice arches ☕️ 🥓 ☀️

As tourist, this place was charming. Service was amazing and the food and drinks were excellent. Overall would recommend this place!

the staff are super kind and food was delicious— i got the burrito and the hash browns inside just hit extra special 🤌 one of the few spots in the area with a spacious indoor seating area and wifi 🙂‍↔️

The best coffee, bagels, pastries, sandwiches and smoothies with the best views and people watching. The last authentically Venice cafe before the cosplay invasion of contrived “hip”. Mingle with locals and visitors in a friendly atmosphere.

Great space with very friendly people. They have amazing food and coffee to make any breakfast one on the next level. Keep up the great work!!!

I’ve been searching for the perfect Avocado Toast through my travels in California and the one here has got to be my favorite! They’ve really nailed the combination of scallions, nori, and radish. Going to try to steal the recipe to make at home. The lattes are pretty good too.

Just a block back from the beach , was so impressed with the food and drink choices - good value for money compared to a lot of places . We had a Cesar salad and pizza bagel - absolutely delicious. The coffee was amazing, and so the ice tea. Highly recommend !!!!

Stumbled upon this place by accident and was treated to some of the best coffee and food I’ve had in California. Highly recommend the pulled pork sandwich and the homemade potato chips. The staff were amazing and went well beyond what was expected. Great food, great service, and great location. Five stars all around.

It's serviceable! The lattes are solid, the smoothies delicious, and they're the only ones that open at a reasonable time on Sunday mornings, so they get my traffic by default.

What a fun place to eat outside and watch all the people take pictures of the Venice sign. Fresh food and reasonably priced.

This would be a 5 star but for my repeated experience that they seem incapable of grasping the concept of ordering more than one of something. For real. Great food, fair prices, super friendly staff but we’re talking literally dozens of times over the years where I’ve ordered more than one of something - either because I went for multiple people or just was really hungry myself - and ultimately only got one of that item. Doesn’t seem to matter how clear I am when placing the order, I’m still only getting one of whatever it was I asked for 2 or 3 of. I’ve never experienced this anywhere else in my life; I cannot explain it. It’s obviously a great enough spot I keep going back regardless but, man, is it ever frustrating!

I had the spicy burrito. It had the perfect amount of heat through and through. The place was clean. I wish the veggies on the teriyaki bowl were crunchy and not soggy but the chicken was seasoned well. Service was meh... the lady at the counter seemed like she didn't want to be there but we all have an off day. Everyone else seemed to be happy at work on a beautiful Saturday morning. I'm sure the place was busy..... a great location, and I'm sure it gets a lot of locals and tourists.

Stopped by here before our dinner reservations. Customer service was prompt and made our order appropriate. It’s a nice little store. A lot of bakery options, although, expect not as much before close. The draft from the outside made it a little cold to sit inside, however, it was comfortable regardless.

Usually taking coffee muffin in this place but today after skateboarding came and ask for cup of water gentlemen gave me but then i heard how manager punished him for that, manager need to be more humble, honestly if not gentleman i would put 1 star

minimal menu but lots of seats! no vegan options for the pastries but they do have gluten free. free wifi but no bathroom, not even for paying customers. staff is friendly and attentive, however it seemed that the manager (?) working tonight was scorning the other employee (?) and was telling across the cafe several times while I was in there. good location! right across from the Venice sign and just a couple of blocks away from the beach

Smoothie was good but matcha was awful. Not sure if he made it wrong or what happened here.

We ordered 15 minutes before everyone and yet the old guy prepares drinks for people that just ordered, specifically females . Plus he’s cheap with the cameral sauce .

The barista was condescending and not very friendly. It was not a good experience, and the latte was mediocre.

Coffee is okay but that was 100% the worst chocolate croissant I’ve ever had.

Such a mixed experience. I stepped into this sunny cafe and was at awe that they sold breakfast all day and the prices were super reasonable. My partner and I ordered a few things. Smoothie and side of berries was good👍 Waffles, espresso, eggs, bacon & hashbrown breakfast were rough (like worse than iHop quality, which I would say is average/decent). Popular theme, super dry and/or greasy ☹️👎 Breakfast burrito was decent and very filling 👌 I would 💯 go back for a smoothie, maybe try their bobba tea. Food wise, even if your the lowest level foodie, your better off paying a bit extra for something well cooked and tasty elsewhere or only stick to food items recommended in the reviews. Side note: If your an environmentalist you may get frustrated by the amount of single use disposable items. (The syrup/jelly/butter, utensils, espresso cup and lid) They automatically put it all on your plate. I would have preferred to choose what I wanted, to minimize waste.

We were told this was a “hip” place in Venice to stop for a coffee while touring around. I have to say, I was super disappointed with the experience. I had a huge group that came in, probably almost 15 people and everyone got a coffee. The woman working was very sweet, but it was the product that was the issue. I don’t think there was one person in our group who said they enjoyed their coffee. And a majority got lattes- fairly simple and standard drinks yet they tasted just, off. I’m not sure what it was but I don’t think I’d come here again, for coffee at least. It is located in a nice spot just a block off the beach and the Venice Skatepark, as well as Muscle Beach and such.

Standing, waiting for service is an act of futility. They don’t pay attention to customers.

Seriously, why bother. If you’re running a cafe in ‘downtown’ Venice Beach, at least try. Plastic and cardboard and the Sunday brunch food wasn’t much better. Coffee gets a pass mark. Perhaps could be re-positioned as a truck stop. No restroom added salt to the wound.

Bad latte, and for some reason the guy handing my drink turned it upside down to "mix" it, spilling the coffee all over the counter– also the included coffee sleeve advertised a right wing tabloid. Avoid!
