"This low-key but extremely vibey coffee counter, located within Dudley Market near the Venice Beach Boardwalk, offers plentiful indoor seating, vinyls whirring on a record player beneath an iridescent disco ball, and the unmatched artistry of Los Angeles barista Christopher “Nicely” Abel Alameda. Choose from Nicely’s deftly curated menu of classic and original coffee drinks, or have him surprise you with something you maybe wouldn’t have chosen yourself. The indecisive can always start somewhere like the Cafe Rico, an espresso drink brightened by orange zest with warmer notes from homemade vanilla and cinnamon." - Mona Holmes, Rebecca Roland
