"Between the soft brown leather couches, industrial design, and patio filled with wooden tables and geometric chairs, Goodboy Bob in Santa Monica looks and feels like an extension of a tech start-up or co-working space. Which means it’s also great for posting up with a laptop. All of the coffee’s roasted in-house—so you know it’s strong—plus they serve whole wheat flatbreads, tartines, and salads. Oh, and there’s an extensive wine, beer, and cider list. You know, to get the creative juices flowing." - Kat Hong
