First time here. Popular place for locals and I can see why! Great coffee and pastries.
First coffee place to get my name right in a few decades. Im impressed. Coffee is some high quality third wave stuff as you would expect but it tastes interesting and different. The sandwiches are tiny but then Im a fat blob so ah well.Its a very nice place to relax, have a cuppa and chill out. 10/10
Fantastic coffee spot. The coffee is top-notch, but the friendly, accurate service even when they’re swamped makes it stand out. They have a cute selection of gifts and snacks, pastries and sandwiches in addition to their drinks, and both indoor and outdoor seating.If you like good coffee, come here!
Most expensive coffee Ive had in L.A. ($6) . Tasty and the service is quick. Id be back if it was cheaper.
Consistently Excellent. One of the best coffee spots on the west side.
Good coffee and friendly employees. PelletingPlenty of seating and a nice selection of desserts$5 flat white
Dog friendly and great coffee. Cinnamon roll was dangerous
The best in LA! Obsessed with the consistency that Love serves. We either get a cortado, redeye, cold brew or quad cap and theyre delicious. Daniel, Jaret Ivan and the new gals are just awesome vibes as well ❤️ Thanks for keeping us smiling especially through 2020 and 2021 🕺🏽💃🏽
First time here and what a great local coffee shop. I had the iced chai and it was delicious. Great baked goods too. Check it out when your in the neighborhood.
For me this place is a rarity. It really comes off - without being kitchy like I think some coffee shops are. Coffee is dark here but they had a medium roast drip it was good for me
Best coffee in Santa Monica! The staff is very kind and they always treat you like a regular. Their food is also fantastic, and they have great seating in back to enjoy what you picked out. I love Love Coffee!
I love this place. Its clean, the food and drinks are delicious and the service is great. Highly recommend it.
I went with my friends to this coffee shop. And the first thing that caught our attention, like how the area is so clean, was the atmosphere. And even the scent of the shop is so relaxing. And lastly, the music they play is so very soothing.
Last week, I visited this coffee shop. I was really impressed by the place itself. The calming atmosphere was so good. The barista was so fun to talk to. Im definitely going to visit this location again.
Delicious flavors! I liked the Mexican mocha a lot but all the lattes Ive gotten there have been a little too sweet for me so Ive had to start ordering them all less sweet.
Meh its ok.
Friendly service. Yummy drinks. Love how dog friendly it is.
I took my wife here to try out their coffee. It was okay, nothing to special about it. The barista was super nice which is why they get 4 stars but average coffee and nothing to special. They do have a little gift store but it had weird stuff for sale. It was kind of surprising because they claim to be a Love coffee shop which should mean inclusive but it definitely wasnt.
Love Coffee Bar !! 5 STAR The best !!!!This coffee bar was so amazing and super clean. This is a small coffee bar but they were great and has a good coffee and freshly baked breaks. Like warm atmosphere of the shop. Staff were super friendly and happy to serve.
Great little neighborhood gem. I had the spiced latté and it was delicious. Service is great. You walk in, order from the coffee bar and they make it for you. Vibe was laid back and chill. If you want some caffeine and a place to hang, its great.

Cold brew & oat milk 5 🌟
This place can actually make a good cup of coffee. The baristas are kind and good at what they do. Ample seating, good pastry selection and a selection of small gifts.
One of my new favorite cafes! A small, minimal and well curated cafe featuring AMAZING coffee made by fantastic baristas. A small gift shop offers neat cards, books and other local treats. Theres a lovely little patio in back to relax and enjoy the best latte youve ever had. Try the Cubano!
Fun coffee place. The are knowledgeable about coffee and tea. Great ambiance. The owner is really nice. Prices are a little higher than you might expect but it’s understandable given the location.
Great coffee shop with paper lids. Friendly service with a lot of interesting items to buy on the shelves
Impeccable drinks and friendly service. It’s by far my favorite coffee shop.
Excellent coffee shop, real specialty coffee prepared with knowledge and passion, guys are so nice and knows what they are doing, my European taste buds were satisfied
The most pretentious spot in Santa Monica! Coffee prices very high!! Doesn’t taste that great.. i make better at home. Never again will i waste $6
The best neighborhood place. Coffee is awesome, staff is great and the vibe is very relaxed and chill.
Cool vibe and very great looking shop.They do not roast but they buy beans from local roasters which is cool.Espresso was good, pour-over was on point but once I had not too good of cup.But this is great place to study as well, plus its like 2 blocks away from SMC
Great coffee. A hidden gem in Santa Monica. Im addicted to The Spice latte there. There’s a back patio/lot in case it gets packed, but i enjoy to be inside either at the communal table or any of the chairs which are both comfortable and nice. It’s very dog friendly. No parking but you can park on Ocean ave for 1 hr and it’s not that hard to get a spot. They sell stuff (coffee related ...and not that much related as well) LOVE this place.
Very clean atmosphere with a great coffee selection. Not a ton of food so dont expect the Starbucks tapas buffet but they have some decent treats. They just focus on amazing coffee and it shows.
Awesome coffee shop, cute with good atmosphere. Good, quick service.Word of warning: the parking situation is horrendous in its area.
Dependably delicious cuppa. I live nearby and can count on Love to be open on Sunday.There is an awesome chess set hidden in the side table at the front window.I love the people who work here, too!
Love is one of the best coffee shops in Santa Monica- I live down the street and often pop in for coffee or pastries. Its a really stylish coffee shop and everyone who works there is super friendly and great. One of the best gems in Santa Monica!
Curated ambiance, a/c, coffee isnt my favorite tho. Good place to spend afternoon in my neighborhood.
You made my morning today !!! Super friendly and good coffee ).
This review is only for the coffee.Coffee is pretty awful and cost $3.50 for a cup. Very pretentious vibe but Im sure a lot of people like that. The pretentious vibe might be what tricks people into believing the coffee is good. You can make better coffee at home. But if you want great coffee, go to Philz.
Great iced coffee and really amazing espresso. The staff are really friendly nanda theres plenty of seating options inside and outside. Great neighborhood spot!
Not the best but solid local coffee house. Cappuccino wasnt bad but a little milk heavy. Cozy space, though the back patio is really just an opening to the parking lot. Accepts KCRW membership discount.
Im glad I found this coffee shop on ocean park. Great coffee/gift shop and fantastic service
Sad I didn’t have time to see the back patio but got a great oat latte from a friendly barista.
Super cute coffee shop. Friendly baristas, and taste drinks. They have normal coffee shop staples as well as nice custom drink menu. The rosemary mocha is really good!
Best coffee in the area. Small location with a good ambience. Staff is friendly and helpful. Dogs are welcome
I spend a lot of time here (and I mean quite a lot) getting work done, surfing the web, or just relaxing and enjoying Santa Monica. The owner, Jose, is a really nice guy and remembers most of his customers. As far as arepas go, they are a little pricey, ranging anywhere from about 3-6 dollars each depending on what kind you get. The avocado and mango arepa is delicious and goes along well with a steaming cup of Jasmine green tea
A bit of the typical hipster LA-vibe coffee place, with the overpriceness that comes with it. But the coffee was amazing indeed! As it is the selection of alternative milks and healthy options. They also sell chic candles, yummy stone-ground chocolate and other yummy things!
Great little gem in Santa Monica. I almost dont want to review it because it feels slightly undiscovered here. Love the coffee and the California vibe.
My favorite neighborhood coffee spot. Amazing coffee and pastries and friendly staff. Hands down five stars.
I am giving this a 1 star as it has a 4.6 rating so I was expecting amazing things, it was ok at best, I got an iced coffee, it was fine, nothing special and the decor inside is not great it has a cold feel, tables outside were nice but almost in a car parking lot. Overpriced coffee but I guess if you are into that then its the place to be!
Ok cappuccino, asked for dry, didnt realize they added more milk than foam. Can barely taste the flavor of coffee, expensive for this quality of coffee. Typical LA hip local coffee bar.
Loved this place. Small and comfy. Had a great time with my girlfriend.
Great coffee. Small coffee shop. Low key. Good for writing.
Clean and friendly. You can sit out back
I had a pour over! So good. And the customer service was awesome
Coffee is excellent. Selection is limited. Small space but quiet and relaxing.
Good coffee. Fun California decorating. I like the items for sale on the shelves. Small selection of eats.
Nice little cafe, with a smile of Love behind counter named River!
Busy Sunday morning but the staff never missed a stride.
Cute little place, really enjoyed the coffee and the environment.
The best cappuccino Ive ever had. Just too small tho
Excellent drinks and pastries. Great service. WiFi and table space.
Very friendly and a master at his craft. As an owner of a coffee shop myself visiting the Santa Monica area on vacation i was excited to find a great little place to have some espresso.
The Barista here is a true craftsman. The old fashioned way is the only way. You wait for your coffee here. Its so very worth it.
Neat little spot on Ocean Park Blvd. Offers coffee, pastries, and has some seating outside. Friendly service.
My absolute favorite coffee house!! Because they perfected the Lavender Honey Latte...drink it hot !! ❤
Great coffee and espresso. Expensive but great for a quick cup of joe.
They have some good strong drinks here
Love me some me Love :) This cozy shop has good vibes and great coffee. Sam the owner is so involved in his business and is friendly to all 💕
Lovely coffee, lovely vibe, and lovely barista. This place is one of the many boutique coffee bars popping up around the city. A marker of contemporary California lifestyle. A magnet for the upper echelon, creatives, and millennials alike. You wont be disappointed with the quality of taste and craft of their espresso drinks, particularly their specialty lattes. From Rosemary Mocha and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cappuccino to a Rooibos Latte with wild berry and vanilla. Clean decor, with modern pine furniture and a wall of specialty gifts, coffee accessories, and small home decor.
I met my newest addiction this morning. This place has the best coffee on the westside!!
Coffee is great and the place is lovely. A great local find!
Friendly staff and cool foreign movie poster for the Graduate, but my Americano was super watery and my muffin was dry as the Mojave. Cant eek out 3 stars for the experience.
Great tea! Lovely local spot.
Hip little coffeeshop with excellent baristas.
Great customer service and super friendly
Great hipster coffee in the area)) very tasty
Cute and cozy, with a few nooks for comfortable seating.
Hot chocolate was not good.
