Alfredo AponteJanuary 8, 2015Stellar cortado and their flat white is spot on... especially when it's "Nicely" poured by a three time world latte art champion.

Yulia ZiMarch 4, 2018All you need for a perfect well crafted coffee spot. Both classic and unique coffee menu (like vegan spanish latte). Good vibe, cool crowds and 1min away from the beach
Omri KlJanuary 6, 2015Super nice staff. Great espresso (very nice grainy flavor, with a slightly acidic end to it). The portions are big (the "standard" is a double espresso). They get their beans from a ethical roaster.
Tom CoatesApril 4, 2018There’s a picture to the right of the counter. Behind it is their secret menu. I’m bizarrely a fan of their Charcoal-ate Milkshake which contains charcoal but they also have more normal options
Al SJuly 16, 2021Best coffee shop in the area. Espresso drinks are $$$$. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. I’d drink a flat white if I were you. Even if I wasn’t.Upvoted Dec 27, 2024
Zack SheppardFebruary 4, 2018Let me save you the trouble of asking the barista: 1. A Spanish latte is a latte with sweetened condensed milk and cinnamon. 2. There is literally no difference between a cappuccino and a flat white.
Robbie SironJuly 13, 2016Four Barrel coffee served by amazing baristas in a cute beachside shop. Plus the Marzocco is an amazing sea foam green.
Jennifer LongApril 3, 2020Good quality coffee and tea, tasty creative drinks, and a good place to hang out. The place was so cozy and warm. This coffee shop is a must-visit shop in this town.
Joshua FortunaMay 6, 2016The cortado was perfect! Definitely a must when in Venice. Also the staff is crazy nice. They sent me off with an extra cold brew they made.
Time Out Los AngelesMay 13, 2015Consider your almond milk latte to go a dose of tranquility to tote along the Boardwalk. Opportunities to linger inside are during coffee tasting sessions of San Francisco-based Four Barrel Coffee.
They have Cortados and Gilbraltars here. The Cortado has sugar in it. I get the Gibraltar
- Thirsty JamesApril 29, 2014Pricey but so worth it, a simple little coffee shop featuring Four Barrel Coffee from NoCal. Loved the little Cappucino!
- Lori AllenApril 26, 2020This is right nearby my residence and excellent for coffee. They do soya milk, which is handy if you’re lactose intolerant. They also do a fantastic looking iced coffee.
Francesca ValenteSeptember 15, 2019High quality coffee, very nice staff and cozy ambient. Would totally recommend for a coffee break!
Chris SteeleNovember 23, 2014Nicely will take care of you and share the gospel of good coffee. This shop feels like the most soulful spot in Venice Beach these days.- Jonathan SnookAugust 16, 2018Latte was smooth and delicious. A bit noisy when there’s a few conversations going on.
- Joey RubinOctober 31, 2015Get one of the baristas to make a recommendation. The nuances are small between drinks, but they are the difference between a great one and the perfect one.
Caitlin BartaSeptember 10, 2016Really great pastries and the chai with almond milk was one of the bet I've had - more spicy than sweet, and smooth.
Connie ChiuJune 5, 2016The latte is perfection and that hatchet cookie is to die for. Love that little puppy critters are allowed to chill indoors.
@RickNakamaJune 13, 2014This is a great spot for coffee! Convenient metered parking right out front. "To stay" brew cup includes complimentary refills!- Everything! They know what they're doing here for sure. One of the best coffee shops in LA! Have a cortado.
Whatever drink you order, it's probably the best of its kind that you've ever had. I'm partial to plain espresso.
Kitt HodAugust 16, 2018The only tea on the menu is a chai, but it is delicious. The acoustics are poor: tables ½ full and we have to yell to have a conversation.
Spanish latte iced is an addiction. It’s a latte with sweet and condensed milk and cinnamon.
Rachel W.February 28, 2017Stellar cortado. Heads up: the barista will put sugar in it without asking you, but it works really well.
Shahrzad ShamsJune 16, 2023Flat white + citrus cake with olive oil. Great artisan cafe in Venice beach.
Dan WinterbergNovember 18, 2015Great espresso drinks w/ Four Barrel coffee from SF. Small, but solid pastry selection.- Tennille TownsendAugust 31, 2024Very nice place to visit with friends. You can chill out with families also. Coffee was great.
Jeremy SchoellerDecember 18, 2015Very nice atmosphere, local shop very young feel good music coffee, granola and pastries
One of the only places to actually serve four barrel coffee. You need to get a drink here.- Vanilla Latte, ask for it by name. It's a seasonal thing and not on the menu. Don't turn it down if it is there!
Caroline GOctober 22, 2013Let Nicely make you anything. It will be stellar and come with the most magical latte art you've ever seen.
Max OrgeldingerMay 5, 2017Nice relaxed place. Go here if you're fed up with organic cold pressed kale juice.
Gyozo NagyMarch 28, 2016The music, croissant and cappuccino:) lot of hipsters- interesting for a European.
Second best Cortado on the westside. But the only true Cortado in the Spanish style
If you don't wanna caffeinate, the hot chocolate is your jam. Super creamy, chocolatey, not too sweet
