We visited a different coffee shop every day for 10 days while we visited LA. This was our favorite. Exceptionally clean, bright, happy energy. Incredible food and drink selections. Baristas made us feel like Queens. No, seriously - they spent so much time answering all of our tourist questions. They were awesome. This was a 12 out of 10 experience for us.

If you're nearby and seeking a place to relax with a decent cup of coffee, 10 Speed Coffee is worth considering. The staff were courteous and attentive, ensuring that all customers felt welcome and well cared for. The coffee was well-prepared, and I had a pleasant breakfast experience there. The vegan breakfast sandwich was particularly enjoyable. The atmosphere was comfortable, making it a suitable spot to unwind.

Easily the best coffee shop in Santa Monica. Was so excited to see this chain branch out of Calabasas and the SM location exceeds all expectations! The staff is incredibly friendly and the coffee is all top notch. In particular I highly recommend the matcha lattes and chagacinnos. Stop by, you will not be disappointed

First and foremost, Ayiana and Amelia ROCK! They took amazing care of my mother before her stressful medical tests. They were so loving, kind, and welcoming - that it was indeed a pleasure to spend some time with these two baristas in a quaint and eclectic setting. The coffee is high quality, well prepared, and can be quite artistic (depending upon what you order). My personal favourite? The cappuccino, of course - with Amelia’s epic Rosetta! Thank you 10 Speed Coffee - and Well Done!

Lots of seating. Plugs in multiple areas. The parking is a little weird. There is nearby street parking and a few garages associated with other businesses. The coffee shop is attached to a hospital I think? The coffee is good, the music is great, and the huge windows are awesome for the ambience. I love the bicycle decor as well. Cute!

A great place in Santa Monica to grab freshly brewed and locally sourced coffee, also a nice selection of breakfast options as well as juices, parfaits. The staff is always super friendly and accommodating.

I used to go here all the time when my office was at 20th and Broadway. I since moved office, and town, but visited again yesterday for my "chagaccino". The staff are always super friendly and the chagaccino is exceptional - nobody makes it better. Thanks for the happy memories. Appreciate great service. Made my day. Cheers.
