Crema's Take
“Groundwork's horchata cold brew and exceptional breakfast sandwiches—especially the fried egg—make this a destination for morning food lovers, though the quality swings wildly depending on which location you visit and who's behind the espresso machine. The Venice spot has gorgeous outdoor seating and solid pastries, but you'll want to arrive early since seating is limited and the barista's mood can directly affect whether your pour over tastes transcendent or bitter and thin.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

See all on Google →Love Groundwork coffee beans. HOWEVER, the people who work at the Rose/Venice location always act annoyed when I order a pour over. There’s no love in it. The grounds taste bitter and watered down. Make pour overs great again please!!
I picked up two good size slides of two diffent delicious bread. Both fresh and healthy, with a moist texture that lets you palatal taste the fruit almonds and smooth chocolate. One covered with pumpkin seeds. The third item was a muffin baked leaving the crest slightly toasted…
The best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in LA! The fried egg sandwich is so good and the horchata cold brew is divineeeeee. The outdoor seating area is beautiful too, definitely a good place to stop on the weekend before errands.
In desperate need of a coffee and some breakfast, I headed to this great little spot in Venice. I had a great pour over decaf coffee that was so well balanced without a trace of bitterness. The breakfast tacos were on point and filled to the brim with eggy fillings. Great space…
One of the best breakfasts I’ve had. Sauce was so good. Friendly staff quick service. Lots of coffee, espresso, cold brew and matcha options Not a lot of seats. Bathroom a little dirty.
