"This was a stellar experience. I had no knowledge of this café. I was down the block and needed an afternoon pick me up, so I decided to try it on a whim. I sort of rolled my eyes at the highly priced $8.00 vegan Spanish latte, but ordered it anyway. I thought it sounded interesting. So, after they made it for me, I took one sip and just stared in awe at my cup. Like, what? Literally heavenly. A sip of heaven. Now I’m obsessed with Spanish lattes. A good reminder that some things (not all) actually have the quality and prestige to back up their high price tags. Grazie Menotti’s!"

"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"

"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."
