"Dogtown Coffee, Santa Monica. “No Kooks!” is surfer slang that means “locals only, bro!” and the first thing you’ll read upon entering. Don’t be intimidated, that’s just part of the charm. Their mission, beyond serving organic micro-roasted coffees, great sandwiches and all-day breakfast, is to preserve the history of the neighborhood’s surf and skate culture. After all, they’re located in the iconic 1970’s Zephyr Surfboard building that bore the terms “Dogtown” and “Z-Boys”."
