Crema's Take
“Demitasse takes its coffee seriously without the pretension, pulling expertly crafted espresso shots that have earned genuine loyalty from Santa Monica regulars who return for both the beans and the welcoming atmosphere. Their third-wave coffee program extends beyond just excellent cappuccinos and lattes to thoughtful additions like house-made chai blends and quality matcha, paired with healthy snacks and a crowd that actually appreciates what's in the cup. It's the kind of straightforward, unpretentious specialty spot that reminds you why LA's coffee scene commands respect.”

Delicious cappuccino! Beautiful coffee shop. Healthy snack choices. Great crowd.
Best coffee place in Santa Monica. I come here often with my coworkers. Their coffee beans are so good. They are the best beans I’ve ever bought. The matcha latte is great as well. The staff are super friendly and the vibe is so chill and relaxing. They also put rotating artwork on the walls.
Demitasse is the kind of coffee shop that reminds you why LA coffee culture gets taken seriously. Excellent beans, expertly pulled shots, and zero fluff — this is coffee for people who actually like coffee. The vibe is minimal and calm, perfect for a quick caffeine reset or a focused pause in the middle of Santa Monica. No gimmicks, just really solid coffee done right. Pro tip: Grab your coffee to go and head to the terrace just a block away, off 3rd Street Promenade — it’s the perfect spot to sit, sip, and quietly judge everyone’s drink choices in peace. ☕🌞
Was hoping they would know how to brew tea, given they make their own Chai blend, but was served this chai tea, which I think could have been good, had it been given a chance to brew. Maybe next time I’ll try specifying to have the milk on the side and ask for a little more tea in the tea bag - this is not enough for a chai blend in such a large cup.
Good offering of third wave coffee at the tail end of the 3rd street promenade in Santa Monica. They have a very nice espresso and lattes, and the pastries are good too. Decent seating space as well to work with a laptop. We'll worth checking out on. Santa Monica stay
