The 16 Best Coffee Shops In LA

"If you’re a fancy caffeine connoisseur in LA you’ve probably heard of Menotti’s. This stripped-down Westside operation has locations in Venice, Culver City, and Tokyo (a flex) plus a roaming coffee van that pulls up to the Venice Farmers Market. And after a decade-plus in business, Menotti’s is still pulling high-quality espresso from a vintage La Marzocco for its straightforward menu of americanos, lattes, and flat whites. The fussier drinks on the menu (which aren’t actually that fussy) tend to be our favorites, like a Spanish latte thick with condensed milk and a zippy espresso tonic with citrus.
