La La Land
1426 Montana Ave #1, Santa Monica, CA
Crema's Take
“This Santa Monica spot is all about aesthetic appeal and atmosphere—the branding and space are genuinely Instagram-worthy—but it's the consistency that keeps people coming back through those notorious lines. While the espresso can be a bit underwhelming for purists, their seasonal drinks like the matcha latte squared shine, and the fast-moving service means you won't be waiting as long as it looks. Hit them up on a weekday morning to experience the full La La Land vibe without the chaos.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

The space is beautiful and the branding is so on point. But let’s zoom in on the coffee — and especially the espresso — and it falls a bit flat… not even for a flat white. Sadly. But a strong concept and definitely worth the trip. Next time I’ll try the signature beverages
