"Goodboy Bob in Santa Monica looks and feels like an extension of a tech start-up with its soft brown leather couches, sharp geometric chairs, and overall industrial feel. This means you don't have to worry about standing out with your laptop because nearly everyone here is working in the café-coworking space hybrid. All of the coffee is roasted in-house, plus they serve whole wheat flatbreads, salads, and an extensive Happy Hour drinks menu." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park

Subscriptions ship on the first Tuesday of every month." - kat hong
"Goodboybob’s tucked away Santa Monica location works as an urban oasis of sorts, with a stylish indoor lounge and sprawling outdoor seating where folks can enjoy the shop’s specialty roasted coffee and drinks. Natural wine is on hand for mild day drinking, along with a slew of breakfast dishes to help soak up caffeine and booze alike. The Rolex chapati, a whole wheat wrap filled with eggs, root vegetables, and scallions, is the popular option." - Eater Staff, Matthew Kang
