Crema's Take

This beachside Japanese coffee cart near Venice has earned a devoted following for its meticulous craft, especially the legendary 15-hour slow drip that keeps customers coming back for that rare, irreplaceable taste. Joe's specialty cold brews and thoughtfully prepared traditional drinks deliver genuine energy and elegance in the most casual of settings—a genuinely special place to stumble upon while walking the Santa Monica boardwalk. It's the kind of spot that transforms a beach stroll into a memorable coffee experience, where you're not just grabbing caffeine but discovering something truly distinct.

Stumbled across this wonderful Japanese coffee & drink cart on our walk to Venice, and it was good. Tasty stuff right on the beach. You’ll enjoy it.

Definitely recommend this coffee. Stopped here while walking the boardwalk and it made my day. I got energy for days! Delicious, refreshing cold brew coffee. Thanks again Joe for introducing me to this new 15 hour brewed coffee. Till next time. Take care!
