Crema's Take
“Nestled in Santa Monica, this thoughtfully designed sanctuary prioritizes comfort as much as coffee, with a zen atmosphere that feels genuinely respectful to both solo workers and friends gathering for conversation. Beyond traditional espresso drinks, they specialize in creative alternatives like mushroom-infused lattes, matcha, and unique milk options like pistachio and cashew that elevate the everyday coffee experience. The space practically invites you to linger—reviewers consistently praise it as the most comfortable cafe they've found in LA, where quality ingredients and intentional design create the rare magic of a place that's equally good for productivity or slowness.”

I'm so grateful this spot exists 🙏🏽 super cozy space to co-work during the day while sipping on some quality alternative lattes with unique milk options like pistachio or coconut / cashew. Ive also been to one of the classes at night which was great. I love that there is a sense of community behind the it all so I always see familiar faces when I'm there and tend to bump into people I know from the Zula Den in West Adams even though it's on the other side of town. Because the communities overlap between these two wellness centers.
Seriously, congratulations to the founder(s) of MUD/WTR. This is hands down the most comfortable place I’ve ever been to in LA. Designing a space like this shows real respect for the guests. You can feel the intention in every detail.
Walked by this place often and wondered about it until my wife brought me in. Phenomenal space for having organic coffees with friends or enjoying a quiet, efficient workspace. And the option to subscribe and have access to a fully appointed 'work' section is a great idea. My wife loves their Matcha, and they have unique mushroom coffees, though I haven’t tried them all. Apparently, it’s also a gathering space for all sorts of events, meditation, yoga… It will be fun getting to know it better.
Very cozy and zen spot, with high quality mushroom drinks supplementing coffee, matcha, or calming teas or protein powder. I have tried the chocolate protein shake and the hot mushroom drink and the best I liked ,the straw-bee-rry smoothie with so many superfoods in. All great taste and healthy benefit, great staff and vibe.
Grounding, earthy cafe with chaga options for lattes and matcha. Came here to met up with a friend on a Friday afternoon and it was crowded, though we were able to nab a seat at the counter then move to bean bags. There’s a member-only section along with private rooms. The barista was friendly and recommended I do cashew milk with my latte (you have a choice of milk). Metered street parking available. Credit cards accepted. You pay the counter first then they call your name. Great options for those who are vegan or simply health-focused.
