Little Bean Coffee

Awesome coffee! The blue bean cold brew is truely refreshing with a flavor of honey flower and fruit. Definitely love it! The chocolate croissant tastes great too!

All coffee lovers come to the front! This is a great little gem on the westside. Excellent coffee blend made with real quality coffee beans. Also the owners are genuinely knowledgeable about what may suit your coffee needs and very kind.

I was the on the way to Starbucks for a cold brew when I passed by Little Bean on foot and noticed the painted cold brew murals outside. Expecting a Santa Monica local coffee shop to be steeply priced, I stopped to check Google for pricing and reviews. The full 5 star average seemed too good to be true but the prices were relatively on par if not a bit cheaper than the competition. All else equal, I much prefer to try local shops so I aborted my Starbucks run and I’m so glad I did. Right upon entering the customer service was phenomenal and they happily explained the menu with an obvious passion for their work. They recommended the medium roast cold brew (I’ve never seen a coffee place with 3 cold brew roast options) and it was perfectly balanced and extremely delicious with rich, deep flavor. So many coffee shops charge way too much for a lackluster, watered down cup but Little Bean is not one of them. The ice level was spot on! Deserving of every 5 star review not only for the outstanding, personal customer service but also for the best cup of cold brew coffee I’ve ever had. I look forward to returning when work brings me back to the area and I’m happy I signed up for the loyalty program. Thank you!!

This little place is a gem. Very cosy vibes with decorations and photo collages of the family that runs this shop, as well as some board games to play wirh. The drinks we got were fantastic, will definitely come here again.

Meant to write this review last summer, visiting from Australia. LA in the news reminded me of what a great visit I had and how friendly everyone was. Walked by Little Bean, looked slightly unusual, stopped in & had a relaxed little chat with Chris about coffee/life. Friendly, enthusiastic and fantastic cold brew! ....really good coffee! If you're in the neighbourhood definitely stop by!
