Menotti's Coffee Stop, Los Angeles CA

No restroom. Went there while it was temporarily a pop-up promo, transformed to "Latte Larry's" for "Curb Your Enthusiasm, " so it was a 2½ hr.wait to get in. No restroom at all, really?

I arrived at 7am. The coffee shop was open. The barista tells me that they are not open yet. They open at 7am. I answer well it is 7am. She answers well no it's 6.58am. I felt like I was at the dmv. I will go elsewhere from now on where people like what they are doing.

Uniqueness: they have vinyl records playing jazz/lofi style music in the background.

Cozy little coffee shop. They have limited outdoor and indoor seating but free parking in the back. The flat white was strong and delicious.

Prices are average $4-8 range. Flat white was $4.50. Mochas are $8 for some reason. Maybe they use special chocolate or something.

The one drawback is there are no restrooms nearby.

Nice local coffee shop. Small selection of pastries. Good music and very chill environment.

Delicious lattes and croissants. I also really enjoyed the morning sun sitting next to the windows. The vibe was perfect with Frank on the record player. Thank you!

Love Love Love Menotti’s. I’ve been a regular for years and it never gets old. I do miss the old crew but the staff treats me so kindly and that’s I keep coming back. I keep it simple … Flat White with Almond Milk.

Culver City location closes early with no clear explanation.
Don’t bother going there after 12noon, it probably won’t be open, and don’t rely on website for hours of operation.
Try ALANA’S on Venice Blvd, cheaper and sticks to posted hours, the quality of the coffee is exceptional and staff is friendly.
Your product is only as good as your ability to buy it.

My coworker Andy recommended this spot to me saying they have the best espresso in LA. Andy if you ever read this review. You were so right.
I came here with no thoughts just knowing there we’re definitely good vibes and. The good vibes were delivered. The barista was so nice and so were all the other coffee goers like me. They heard it was my first time and all recommended the spanish latte. Which I got and it was busting. Absolutely the best iced Spanish latte I’ve ever had in LA. Will more than definitely be back. Also super fun that they have a hidden secret menu.

Cute little coffee shop has lits of plants and plenty of space for meeting w friends etc.old fashioned italian coffee machine.a must see!

The coffee was actually really good for being a small shop. It can get a little pricey though:/

From reading the reviews, it seems that this place has an on going barista problem. I have been here a few times and depending on who is working I have gotten a weird vibe from the employees which I usually tend to ignore.their set up where you order the coffee and the pastries from one person and then the person making the coffee to the left charges you, is a bit weird and inefficient but this not my business.today i ordered my coffee and as I was deciding if i wanted to order a pastry, the person taking the order went to the back room.so I moved over to the left and the person making the coffee started the process of making the coffee and charging me and i asked for a muffin.she looked at me like I had committed a crime and told me that I should have asked for it when I was placing the order for the coffee on the right. I told her that before i had decided what to order the other employee went to the back. And she told me "I didnt need that". Meaning my explanation wasn't necessary. Last time I checked she works there and I am a paying customer.she gets paid to provide a service not to serve up an attitude. I resisted making a comment because I guess she was having a bad day but very weird and unnecessary.bye bye Mennotti's.

Maybe the best coffee in town. BUT the pastries are srsly average, not sure why you guys use that vendor when you’re so proud of your coffee

This is the best espresso in LA and the atmosphere is top notch…. I wish I could give more stars but y’all: The pastries & food are AGGRESSIVELY mid. With no variety! Perhaps it’s a blessing for me though, because if you guys had decent food I’d probably be several dress sizes larger from coming in twice a day.

One of my favorite spots for espresso drinks, good vinyl always playing, and some solid pastries that I think they get from Hatchet Hall. Would recommend!

Had a similar experience to Ben from 7 months ago where a worker freaked out on me. I’d bet it’s the same worker, although when I was a regular there were a few workers and all were rude, you know the type that make you feel like they’re doing you a favor. We used to go a few times a week on our morning walks and thought the coffee was good but our experiences were so unpleasant. I eventually stopped going because one of the workers yelled at me to stay in line - they have this weird system where you order and then they want you to stand there for 5min while they make your coffee. I’m not sure why they don’t do what every other coffee shop does and have you pay when you order. It’s a pretty interesting social experiment to see all the confused customers stand by the register aimlessly. I would always just grab some water and sit down nearby the register until they were ready to charge me - god forbid, one day the barista gave me a public lecture that I was having none of and sent it right back. And that folks, is how you lose your frequent customers, the lifeblood of a local coffee shop, and eventually go out of business.

Not sure if the cashier is on a power trip or just a plain old weirdo but ordering my coffees this morning was one of the strangest encounters I think I’ve ever experienced. On our morning walk me and my dog (Jax) stopped in to grab 2 coffees, being a responsible dog owner, before entering I tied Jax up to the umbrella outside. Once the “barista” started to grind the coffee beans I walked towards the window to make sure Jax hadn’t been snatched and that’s when I hear Napoleon behind the counter (almost screaming) “Sir you need to stay over here! ”… Thinking maybe she was about to ring me up or someone was behind me in line, I turned around, not only was she glaring at me (while not making the coffee) the only other person in the place was sitting down… I politely told her my dog is outside and I’m going to go check on him.

Even if she did need to get my attention from the other end of the (100sq ft) coffee shop she’d have to do nothing more than say “excuse me” much more quietly than her original shriek. Perhaps there’s some kind of policy that isn’t posted?

Coffee is good, but not worth the price. Service is pretty casual as mentioned in other reviews.

Excellent coffee. No restrooms. They will tell you to walk to the Von’s down the street.

Therefore, nice if you want to grab and go, but not a place you can settle into.

The best coffee. Wonderful staff. I've heard the owner is a super great guy so no surprise the staff is kind and looks to enjoy working here. My favorite is their simple iced latte with cold brew ice cubes, never gets watered down. Everything I've tried is so good. Always happy when my schedule lines up with a trip to Menottis! I prefer location off centinela and Washington, haven't made it to windward yet.
