What a spectacular establishment!!!The food is wonderful and looks so good you dont want to eat it! You can tell everything is put together with love. The space is very inviting, relaxing and quaint. I really enjoyed all the wonderful plants outside and very looking forward to the updated space to come soon.Not too many establishments you get to speak with the owner and see them working!I enjoy and appreciate family owned businesses and this place is a great find.The staff and owner are very sweet, welcoming and friendly which is absolutely refreshing to experience these days where there are so many places where the owner visits the business a few days a year or if at all.You can tell the owners of this place puts a great deal of work, love and energy into making this place as wonderful as it is.Check it out and see for yourself. This is by far one of my new favorite spots in the area. Thank you for this amazing space. If you have not been here, go check it out and if you have, go back as often as possible!Wonderful place, people and vibe. And of course the food is excellent as I mentioned.May God Bless this place with infinite abundance.

This is hidden treasure. Once you find it, you’ll always go back. This breakfast sandwich with a nice salad was mouth watering. Very friendly staff. You can always tell when an owner truly cares about their restaurant.

We had an iced coffee and a croissant. Both were delicious. The croissant was light and flakey and the coffee was excellent.

Great avocado toast and quiche! I would add a couple of poached eggs for the avocado toast. The multi grain toast is excellent. The spinach and feta quiche is made with phyllo dough and that it is a great addition. Also share a glass of the orange pomegranate juice its a nice blend.

The food here is SO GOOD. I had the poached eggs, served on really tasty whole grain bread, with avocado, thin slices of provolone, tomato, red onion, and pesto. It comes with a really yummy side salad, with a thin shave of parmesan cheese, and a cherry tomato. The mocha latte was fantastic as well. Totally worth the price, and in a nice location. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and the service is really good. Ill definitely be back:)

I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk, and a smoked salmon bagel. Took one star off because the bagel was too salty, and the salad lacked flavor. But latte was great and service was great. Plenty of seating both inside and outside. I saw a bunch of outlets, one table even provided a lightning cable to charge your iPhone. Free WiFi, great place to work.

Stopped for a quick coffee. They were closed but extended us the outside area for another half hour and we were able to have our drinks. The coffee is great and the little cookies we got were a good combination. On the way out, I grabbed a bottle of water but since they already closed the register, the owner insisted that i get it for free. Really appreciated the gesture! This place will be my first stop on the next trip to LA.

Food is way overpriced for what you get and the flavor is nonexistant. 2 stars instead of 1 bc the cold brew was decent and the pastries had potential.

Small spot with great people, and delicious treats. I had a latte and a strawberry pastry, that was very tasty. It’s an easy location to be in and out fast, so very convenient. It has window seating, so you can have a sit and watch the world go by, if u feel like taking a restful moment. Not too pricey, the strawberry scone was $3.50, and so was the coffee.I talked to several staff members, all were friendly and engaging. I will definitely be back!!! I like, also, that it was not crazy busy, cause I go there to relax, not to fight the mad crowds!

My partner and I discovered Kafe K early on in our stay in Venice Beach. We were walking along Main to Santa Monica on our third day there, looking for somewhere to have breakfast. And what a find! So much so that we went there five more times during our stay. Breakfast choice was great. The Pitaya and the Muesli with yogurt and fruit were fantastic. The service was excellent, the staff were so friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. And being able to sit out in the morning sun was an added bonus.

Nice cafe on Main St. with outdoor seating.Banana, Kiwi smoothie was good.Egg white sandwich was ok...avocados were brown and the eggs seemed microwaved.The smoked salmon wrap was good...the salmon was not too salty, although again it has brown avocados. The sauce in the wrap was not overbearing and had a nice flavor.The white bean soup with basil was great...subtle basil with nice olive oil flavors and not too salty.

Pe
Review №41

What a wonderful find just a couple of blocks from the beach. Both the roast beef sandwich and the smoked salmon salad were exceptional. The chocolate mousse with mascarpone and fresh fruit rivals great...well, you know. Alexandra, the owner, is delightful, a real treasure. Dont miss it!

Poached eggs sounds like a boring choice for breakfast, but Kafe K may have taken the title for the best poached eggs that I have ever had. Cooked to perfection.Not a large place, but the food is health-conscious without being pretentious, the staff are friendly & attentive, and the taste was amazing.

It is not quite as attractive as Urth nearby, but it has a nice cosy atmosphere, a bit of outdoor seating, basic coffee is good, and their poached eggs are famous. And they show Premier League football on the screen inside!

Good salad but they messed up my sandwhich, didnt do anything to fix it and I was stuck with a gross inedible lump of gummy meat that I did not actually order. The only redeming aspect was that the salad was correct and tasted good.
