Crema's Take
“Coffee Commissary pulls off consistently excellent lattes with a stripped-down menu that refuses to hide behind flavor shots and syrups, though you'll pay premium prices for that clarity. The outdoor seating next to a Santa Monica Boulevard car dealership isn't Instagram-worthy, but it's genuinely pleasant for a quick coffee break or slow afternoon with your laptop and free wifi. Come here for the coffee quality and friendly, efficient service, not for a cozy third-place vibe or complex drink customization.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Pastries and light food on the menu. Wifi.

See all on Google →I really like their tea and coffee is also great! It’s an easy stop and go on Santa Monica blvd.
Only two flavor options to add to you overpriced coffee and the lid didn’t even seal and the coffee leaked out. What a great experience!
The sprinkles cookie is good, but this place has the best latte in LA (or at least Santa Monica). It’s a pretty small pop-upish space.
Tasty coffee, friendly barista, delicious pastry (had the chocolate chip cookie), cool vibe, but not a coffee shop for working out of - only an outdoor sitting area next to a car dealership. Convenient for getting a coffee while charging your tesla across the street
Great spot to stop for coffee and a snack. Staff is always friendly, never seen a long line. Also a nice spot to sit in the shade outside and do some work on the laptop on their free wifi.
