La La Land

I was looking for a good cooler on a warm winter day here in Santa Monica. This cafe hit the spot. Don’t let the long line fool you. The service is fast. You can also order ahead via the website or app. There is cozy seating in the front of the cafe as well to the back of the cafe. There is also comfy seating outside side. The bright yellow decor is inviting. This is an awesome place to work on your laptop. I ordered a mango passion fruit cooler. Not overly sweet! You can pick up your order inside as well as the outside walk up window. The cafe and the patio area is kept clean. Parking can be a challenge due to limited street parking.

If you want VIBES LaLa Land is your destination. But they don’t sacrifice quality for vibes, which is key. Coming mid week in the morning is the best time, because the line is not too long. The line can be out the door, which at the end of the day is a good sign. Matcha 10/10, even just your standard iced Matcha latte. They have so many fun options though too, in a selection of cream tops - vanilla, banana, or their matcha squared (matcha with matcha cream top). The attention the detail here is pretty incredible and it’s so cutesey. I mean, heart shaped straws? Come on. Great merch available too. The staff is so friendly! Bring your computer and get to work or bring a friend for a date. Oh, and the pastries look unbelievable 🤤

WHAT A CUTE PLACE?! I did not know the hype of this store until I travel to la and saw the line of people at every la la land I saw. I chose the matcha latte squared (I wish it were less sweet) and the lavender matcha cloud and cacoa chia pudding banana( so good) The place has plenty of places to sit and enjoy the road. I love this vibe

Coffee: Do you love me? Me: O heaven, O earth, bear witness to this sound, and crown what I profess with kind. Without further ado let’s begin this kind coffee review. :D La La Land Kind Coffee is a popular corner coffee shop on Montana ave in Santa Monica. It’s known for their exquisite bright white and yellow signature, ostentatious decor and delightful coffee. This shop is a Dallas-based coffee shop. I came on clear, cool early Summer’s day with my mind focused on one thing - new coffee adventure. And it lead me to La La Land Kind Coffee. It was very early Sunday morning, hence, there was scant of humans hovering the store. I was perfunctorily greeted by a young male white staff at the counter. I perused their impressive coffee and food menu. And decided to grab a hot Latte. Minutes

The space is beautiful and the branding is so on point. But let’s zoom in on the coffee — and especially the espresso — and it falls a bit flat… not even for a flat white. Sadly. But a strong concept and definitely worth the trip. Next time I’ll try the signature beverages
