Love Coffee Bar
1732 Ocean Park Blvd, Santa Monica, CA
Crema's Take
“Love Coffee Bar pulls off that rare balance of being both a serious espresso destination and a genuinely welcoming neighborhood gathering spot in Santa Monica, where you're equally likely to find someone hunched over their laptop for hours or meeting a friend with their dog in tow. Their espresso is the real deal—bold and well-crafted enough to satisfy coffee purists—and while service can be a bit inconsistent, the best experiences here highlight quick, friendly staff who seem to actually care about getting your drink right. Whether you're looking for a slow, leisurely sit or a quick grab before heading out, the casual vibe and outdoor seating make this charming spot feel like a local secret worth discovering.”

Grumpy staff. Didn’t feel welcome here but the coffee was really good. I don’t think we would come back because of the service. Hopefully our experience is an isolated one as it is a very cute coffee shop
Really enjoyed this coffee shop. The drinks were well made, the place was clean, and the service was quick and friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back.
Good espresso. Strong enough for those who usually drink say darker organic roasts. Nice staff across the board always. Not easy I imagine making people something they are addicted to, but these folks do a great job to it time and again.
Great coffee shop in Santa Mónica! Service was quick and Great to work solo or meet someone. So many people had cute dogs too!
“And when love speaks, the voice of all the gods makes heaven drowsy with the harmony.” That said let’s begin thy lovely review. Love Coffee Bar is a small charming locally owned coffee shop in Ocean Park, Santa Monica. They primarily serve Counter Culture as their coffee roaster. And on their menu they have modest selection of coffee, tea and specialty drinks. Similarly, they have mugs, tote bags and merch for sale. This coffee shop has spacious interior layout and minimalist artful design. And have dog-friendly policy which was definitely a plus. In addition, they have free wifi and abundant of natural light which makes this shop a good spot to hangout. They have rear outdoor patio for customers that crave fresh air and sun. I perused their menu and ordered a hot Flat White and Iced Coffee. Both drinks were splendid! Smooth and rich in coffee bean aroma.Staff were affable and highly competent. Prices were slightly higher to similar drinks. Street parking only. Collectively, this is a good coffee shop. Overall, I highly recommend LCB if you’re in the area.
