Excellent Banh Mi sandwiches served from mid/late morning thanks to the super kitchen of the restaurant next door. The staff is friendly and relaxed. It was our first time there and we were made comfortable as if we were regulars. The main indoor room has a record player and some records but you can bring your own and also donate if you are so inclined. This is a brilliant jem in a quiet part of Santa Monica.

Great coffee to start the morning. A super-delicious sandwich. The service was super fast, but we were served by a guy who, in my opinion, should have smiled a little more. We'll be back!!!

Super cute, art-vibey cafe. There is beautiful community art and an actual record player is the music source. A couple of things to keep in mind: - If you're planning on working on a laptop, they don't have any outlets but they do have wifi - There are no drinks without caffeine (at least the guy working didn't know of any)

Super cute location with amazing art and some really good records. I had a great time looking at some art books and drinking a Matcha.
