Great spot in Venice by the beach to drink a coffee and even sit down on the space outside. We were able to take our dogs, and enjoy a delicious creamy coffee and latte just before heading to the beach. Parking can be a little tricky like everywhere in the area. But if you're driving, you can find free street parking few streets down.

Great local coffee shop feel with high quality coffee. Sit outside by the sidewalk and you feel like you’re a part of the hustle and bustle of this busy beach community and tourist spot. The coffee cake is amazing, especially paired with a Spanish Latte.

Nestled in a tiny corner of Venice Beach lies this lovely coffee shop. It's small, cozy, and has a super nice outdoor seating area that borders the beach! The menu is simple and very well executed (and I would say the same goes for the decor and just the overall vibe). I had an amazing espresso tonic that was perfect for the summer morning! All the staff were very nice and happy to talk me through the menu too. I HIGHLY recommend this place. Coming here on a nice summer morning and drinking coffee outside the shop is a unique feeling that is rare to capture. I can't wait to do it again when I'm back in California!

Cute coffee shop in Venice! Great first stop on your Venice crawl. Loved the vegan Spanish latte in hot and iced version 🤍 the pastries looked delicious but we abstained on this first visit. Fun music!!

Menotti’s is a “must stop” for coffee and espresso lovers on the Venice Beach to Santa Monica strip. Had an amazing cortado. Heard their Spanish Latte is a great option anytime. Latte art on our drinks was exquisite, as expected. Baristas were friendly, though busy. Muffins were delicious. Next time, will ask for a porcelain/stoneware cup. Paper cups are standard, since they do lots of “to go” business. Was hoping to meet “Nicely” (aka Christopher Abel Alameda), but was told by the baristas that he was now working with another LA shop.

Menotti's Coffee is a very busy place close to the Venice Sign. It's not just a hipster place, they have amazing coffee and muffin. Be ready to a line, no matter when you go. The details of the place and food will surprise you, and the coffee at the right temperature, the muffin with a good texture that's hard to find. You won't find a small space inside and a large space on the patio outside. Service was fast and friendly; The parking in front of it made it all an excellent experience.

The coffee itself is good and clearly made with quality beans. However, the overall atmosphere didn’t feel quite right. The service felt distant, and the staff didn’t seem particularly happy or engaged, which affected the experience more than expected. A café can have great coffee, but warmth and energy matter too. Hopefully this improves over time.

Menotti’s feels calm even when it’s busy, with clean tiles, worn wood, and just enough character to feel lived in rather than styled. I had the vegan Spanish latte and it was smooth and not overly sweet. Still tasting like coffee instead of syrup. The baristas were quick without feeling rushed. Menotti's Coffee Shop is an easy return spot, especially for that vegan Spanish latte.

Great coffee! We had their cappucino, mocha and Spanish latte and we loved all of it. They have a simple menu which makes ordering a breeze. They close exactly at 6pm though but we were able to sit at the tables outside.

If you come here you got to get the Spanish latte. It's very good, they make it with condensed milk, espresso and a bit of cinnamon on top. Taste great! Best way to start the day, the pastries are pretty good. Parking is decent in the morning just make sure the meter is full and don't get a ticket. Cheers

I visited Menotti's Coffee Stop in Venice to meet up with a friend, there was a line even though it's a weekday morning. The location is very touristy so I guess that's what you expect. We enjoyed a chill time and good conversation in the patio outside. My cortado was somehow super sweet as if it was sweetened, it wasn't bad but tasted very strange. Service was fast and friendly.

I really wanted to like this Venice location since I love the Culver spot — the drinks, the friendly staff, and the great vibe there are always consistent. Unfortunately, this location has been the opposite experience on multiple occasions. There’s one employee in particular — the long-haired male barista — who always seems to have a bad attitude. The energy here just feels off every time I visit. On top of that, I’ve noticed poor hygiene practices, like going straight from wiping down tables and petting dogs to squeezing oranges into a latte without washing hands. It’s disappointing because the concept and drinks are great, but this location needs serious improvement in cleanliness and customer service. I’ll be sticking with the Culver location from now on. (I also reached out to the company directly to discuss before posting a negative public review but they never responded, so here we are).

Terrible experience with the cashier, despite the coffee being amazing. I come to Venice often, and every single time I stop here because the coffee is absolutely delicious. But today I was completely shocked by the behavior of the cashier/barista. I bought a coffee and a cookie, and I politely asked for just a tiny bit of milk on the side — literally enough for two small sips ,for my 2-year-old child. He told me it would be an extra $2. I said never mind, because charging $2 for a few drops of milk makes no sense. What surprised me even more was that while making my cappuccino, he intentionally poured the leftover milk down the drain right in front of me instead of giving me that tiny bit for my child. When I commented on it, he laughed in my face. Extremely rude, unprofessional, and petty behavior. I love the coffee here, but after this experience with the cashier, I’m honestly shocked. I will think twice before coming back.
