Lokl Haus

Very quaint spot tucked in Santa Monica. I always drove by and finally went inside one day and I was pleasantly surprised. Feels very authentic and cultured compared to many coffee houses/cafes in LA and the employees are very kind. Not to mention the food is super delicious and refreshing. I love the small touches they put on each plate. I had an avocado toast recently with micro greens and mint, who woulda thought! Overall, nice breakfast spot with chill outside seating.

Lokl Haus is a hole in the wall type, super cute, tiny European style cafe with delicious food and drinks. The food selection is limited but everything they serve is super good, you can’t go wrong with anything. Google listing seems to be outdated as they don’t have lunch/diner food, but they only serve breakfast and drinks. We’ve tried Cilbir, Menemen and self-care breakfast platter along with borek. All of them were top notch. It’s a real diamond in the rough.

On my radar for the last two years, never managed to come, so happy I finally did! Definitely worth it’s best coffee shop award! Food is delicious, their espresso tonic was super flavorful ! Must try 🙏

Since i stepped in, I was greeted with kindness and felt very appreciated. Food-wise the experience was extraordinary, delicious food with a drop of Turkish taste. Very Unique Art and the owner was very hostile. Absolutely loved this cafe and will be coming here with my husband on a regular. ( it is also listed on LA times as best coffee shop in Los Angeles 🤓)

Wow! What a gem! Great little spot with a warm welcoming environment. Coffee and tea are both excellent. Fresh pastries and amazing daily lunch specials. The weekend brunch menu has a distinct flavor of its own. I had the slow cooked roast beef sandwich with sautéed onions cooked to perfection all on warm ciabatta bread. Took home a veggie and fruit salad to my wife which she loved. This definitely my new spot for good eats and tea.

A MUST! Get the: GRILLED CHEESE IS THE BEST: super crunchy, yet gooey inside and some wonderful oil lightly infused in it. It feels like sourdough so so good TURKISH EGGS I love eggs and this is such a nice way to eat them instead of the same old way what a delight CHEESECAKE AMAZING BAKED THICKNESS With of course Turkish coffee Super sweet customer service! Their phone line & grubhub is getting fixed s

Poached eggs covered in garlicky yogurt and then doused in browned butter infused with Aleppo pepper (imagine chile crisp reconceived with dairy). Scoop it all up with sourdough toast and then finish what’s left using a spoon. Menemen, poached eggs in tomato and pepper sauce, brings to mind shakshuka but with a denser, less soupy consistency. Both are rousing in flavor yet profoundly comforting.

A friend recommended that I try this location since I'm an avid coffee drinker and it did not disappoint! I enjoyed the vibes of this quaint coffee "haus". From the different art displays on the walls from Darian Burks to Bumblebeelovesyou, Chevy converted bench area, gnomes to the airline trolley carts. I ordered the "haus coffee" with an order of Menemen. I learned that Menemen is a popular Turkish dish that includes eggs, tomato, green peppers and oh my god!!! So delish! My husband ordered the avocado toast with an egg. I couldn't resist and tried it as well. So good!. I was curious when I saw they had an expresso tonic on the menu and had to try. Coffee and tonic may sound odd but with the orange zest added, well that bright and citrusy flavor paired well with the brightness and floral notes of the espresso. We ended up taking several deserts home. My husband took the Sütlaç (bruleed rice pudding), and I was curious to try the Supangle (Belgium Dark Chocolate pudding with chocolate shavings & Oreo crumbles). Senem (owner) also gave us a slice of the San Sebastián cheesecake saying she highly recommends we try it. My son and I took a small bite of the cheesecake later that day, we knew our husband would love it! It was light, creamy and for me, with a taste of caramelized goodness. When I told my husband it tasted like creamy cheesecake but if as though it had "dulce de leche" he was sold. He ended up eating it! Lol. What I thought was going to be a small coffee run, ended up being a nice, FULLfilling brunch lol. I highly recommend! Thank you Lokl Haus!

I had the grilled cheese, cucumber salad and a Turkish coffee. All were excellent and very flavorful the grilled cheese was a blend perfectly melted on a not too toasted sourdough. There is no parking. I don't know how people eat here. But I know they must, and they should.

The coffee shop may be small, but I appreciate the charming decor throughout the space. The owner has a friendly demeanor that adds to the welcoming atmosphere. Enjoying my coffee outdoors was a delightful experience. I tried the Turkish coffee that my husband ordered, and it had a truly distinct flavor. I definitely recommend giving it a try!

Andrii Romanenko

Very nice atmosphere. The food is made with soul. They added a mini salad, very deliciously dressed. The coffee is very good. I will come back again.

Jay Weedall

Simple hole in the wall coffee shop with simple vibes, kind service, and spot on food and drink. Cappuccino was great and eggs smash was 10/10. My kind of place. 👌

Madeleine Schnell

Delicious coffee, with a yummy slice of poppy-seed bread, in a small place with a wonderful eclectic decor. What else can you wish for after a doctor's appointment?

It's like stepping into your family's kitchen. You walk in and are immediately greeted with friendly faces. They were super nice to my 2 year old. And then the food and drinks were amazing. The smashed eggs were unlike any breakfast sandwich I've had, super flavorful with a perfect bread. The turkish eggs with the bed of yogurt and spinach were delightful.

Crazy Craver

Atmosphere was very quiet cool, with very organized and thought out decor! The brace that was very nice and the drink ended up testing fantastic! Only drawback I had was it took longer than I expected, considering there was no line? Not sure if it was because of the complexity of my drink or not? A Especially drink made with espresso, homemade vanilla and other ingredients including a Christmas tree.

Our favorite coffee & breakfast spot! My fiancé is obsessed with the oat milk latte with honey. We recently tried LOKLs award winning Smashed Eggs on Country Toast which was absolutely incredible. There's a little bit of space for indoor seating and they also have outdoor tables to sit, relax and have a chitchat over coffee. Every time we're there Furkan has a warm smile and the food/service/atmosphere is always very pleasant. Would highly recommend, thank you!

Friendly service and delicious lattes and Turkish inspired breakfast options. Small space for seating inside and a small patio outside as well. Definitely recommend next time you’re in Santa Monica!

There’s a reason this place is 4.9 stars. The food is very tasty. The coffee was great. We had the Turkish eggs, and avocado toast.

THE ALMOND BUTTER TOAST IS ABS DELICIOUS!!!!! loved it so much, generous amount of almond better and berries all topped off with a not too sweet date syrup. heavenly! the granola bowl was also very good, with the same richly flavored date syrup over creamy yogurt and cinnamon granola. both of these dishes were very well priced for the quality and portion of food as well. the only thing that let us down was the avocado toast, it was way too bland/light and could have used some olive oil, salt, or anything to enhance the flavor, especially for 14 dollars. have had way better avocado toasts elsewhere. apart from the avocado toast, everything here was PHENOMENAL!!
