La La Land Kind Cafe 1426 Montana Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90403

"A nice coffeeshop that has a minimalist decor with bright yellow color pop ups in cups, machines etc. The drinks are unique, their matcha combinations are quite good. The only thing I would change is to give option for sweetness. My hot matcha was too sweet for my taste. There is ample outdoor sitting area and also few seats indoors. The parking in this area might be an issue during weekends."

"I love La La Land, very cute place. Atmosphere is nice and refreshing. Love their coffee. They have outdoor and indoor sitting. Very busy place even on weekdays still the service is very good and fast."

"This place is wonderful ! Warm inviting atmosphere with a nicely curated music selection. Comfy seating indoor and outdoors. A small selection of baked goods is provided as well as their more popular variety of specialty toasts, which looked good but a little pricey for toast with fruit/avocado. I ordered the cloud latte which was delicious comes in a fun cup and reasonably priced. There are a ton of specialty coffee and matcha options, all kinds of fun creations with what seemed to me less sugar than a Starbucks might put in one. The barista had accidentally made me a cloud matcha latte as well and gave it to me for free so I was very happy to be able to try both since I was torn between the two and it was also delightful. Milk alternatives are unfortunately extra here. They also have a section of merchandise like candles, phone cases, hats etc. Great place to hang out and get some good coffee."

"The display of yellow mugs reminiscent of honey on the white walls is a nice touch, and the staff are all friendly. This shop is crowded with locals. Sweet cream and fruit on lightly toasted bread, just the right amount. The packaging is red during the holiday season. This is nice too."

"We love La La Land especially their drinks. This is a place we visit almost once a week. Lovely staff who doesn’t rush you while ordering and taking a long time to decide especially towards people with kids. We always sit outside and there is always a dog to pet. It’s the most dog friendly cafe we’ve ever been. They have good coffee and soft drinks. Their mango&passion fruit refresher is out favourite. We tried their toasts, their almond butter berry one is very nice and can be made gluten free&vegan, I think their avocado toast needs more avocados and seasoning but still good. The only problem there is they have 1 restroom and sometimes there is a queue. Also the paper sleeve they put around the drinks stinks when wet."
