Rustic Coffee
169 W Channel Rd, Santa Monica, CA
Crema's Take
“This charming Santa Monica spot right near the beach wins hearts with genuinely excellent coffee and a warm, inviting atmosphere where regulars like Lou Lou the barista have earned devoted fans. Beyond the stellar espresso drinks and cold brew, they've mastered the full café experience with a solid breakfast menu, fresh pastries, and a welcoming vibe that feels equally good for a solo work session or bringing your dog along for the morning.”

Cute Vibe, Cool Location. Matcha and Croissant were pretty standard.
10/10 coffee was great, avocado toast was delicious and the staff was very friendly. The place has a nice atmosphere. Love it!!!
Best coffee in town! Lou Lou is especially hilarious and wonderful. She made me the most delicious iced vanilla latte I’ve EVER had this morning. Make sure you hit up this adorable spot whenever you’re in the area!
Stopped by here on the way to Malibu and loved it! Super dog friendly, a huge selection of coffee, smoothie, etc options, and wonderful breakfast options (went with the breakfast sandwich) including pastries. Got to try their maple scone fresh after baking and it was great! As a plus, spotted Don Cheadle waiting for breakfast too!
This is a magnificent little coffee trailer right up from the beach. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting. The owner and baristas were extremely friendly and the coffee was amazing. They actually now how to make a cortado and a cappuccino the right way. Also very impressed by the fact they make their own syrups and the food was delicious. I will recommend to anyone in the area!
