Couplet Coffee
525 Santa Monica Blvd, Santa Monica, CA
Crema's Take
“Couplet Coffee brings a refreshingly warm, friend's-living-room vibe to Santa Monica with genuinely exceptional espresso drinks and creative matcha creations that go far beyond the typical coffee shop fare. The baristas clearly know their craft, pulling excellent cappuccinos and flat whites while also nailing signature drinks like their celebrated double matcha strawberry dream, and the whole team—from staff to owner—creates that rare atmosphere where you actually want to linger with a laptop or meet a friend.”

Amazing Santa Monica matcha spot! The double matcha strawberry dream is a delicious delicious dessert matcha. Very sweet and the strawberry milk is so rich. Also ordered a flat white and that was amazing as well. Service was friendly and quick and there is plenty of inside seating along with a restroom. A matcha lover’s dream!
Our cappuccinos here were excellent! The space is very warm and inviting. Barista was friendly and made really great coffee. Will be back!!! Thanks Couplet for opening in the west side 🙏🏽
Stopped by the grand opening of Couplet coffee today! The atmosphere was great and everybody was so friendly. I got a cold brew and the iced cafe de olla americano. The cold brew was smooth and not too acidic and the de olla cream top was so good!
I definitely plan to add more photos to my review on my next visit, but you HAVE to check out this new Couplet for yourself! All of the bright, fun flair of Couplet gets an even larger backdrop at this massive shop with so many different seating options to choose from: outdoor and indoor tables, a supersized wood communal table with benches, and three areas of bar seating all with different views. Whether you want to see/be seen or find a private alcove to get some work done, there’s a corner for you in this café. The drinks are consistently great at the other locations—Santa Monica is no different! The Choco Banana latte is my husband’s favorite. The cream tops are delicious and thick. I’m an oat cappuccino girly, myself, who’ll dabble in a vanilla latte or dirty chai when I’m feeling frisky. The baristas are well-trained, and offer great customer service if you’re wondering what drink to choose, so all of these beverages they do well. Speaking of oat milk, this is a spot you’ll normally see Ghost Town Oats used behind the bar with Califia Farms Oat Barista as a backup. Don’t forget to peruse the multiple retail areas and pick up a cute gift for yourself or a friend. They range from emerging consumer products and fun Couplet merch. I’m eying the pink Aeropress myself. Love this new location and reason to head west from the east side!
LOVE this space so much. When I walked in, it felt like I was in a friend's apartment. The staff and owner are so welcoming, and the space is so fun!!! I got the Cafe de Olla americano and Caprese sandwich and both were 11/10.
