The Canal Market 600 Mildred Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90291

"This place has SO much potential - cute space, a residential area needing a local market, charming patio to enjoy a beverage, etc. Sadly, I find it overly curated and not offering everyday goods most neighborhood markets would carry (more of a gift shop/specialty store IMO) but my biggest complaint was with the service on my last visit. I’ve been in a few times and the workers were attentive but most recently the woman working seemed oblivious I was at the counter waiting to order and when I finally asked if I could get a croissant she seems to snap back to reality. After I paid she blankly stared at me for far too long until I said ‘the croissant?’ and with no urgency sauntered over to the pastry case. Maybe she wasn’t feeling well? Unclear but between that experience and the burnt milk cappuccinos I’ve received I don’t think I’ll be back. I know staff is hard to find so I hope things improve because this could be such a gem with the right attention and care put into it!"

"the service and quality of everything here is amazing!!!! after a lovely coffee i accidentally left a box of chocolates and the staff (gabriella) went above and beyond to help me!! if i could give this place 1000 stars i would! i will definitely be back on my next trip to LA and highly recommend to anyone who wants a great cup of coffee and a positive experience. my visit here truly made my day/trip!!"

"Pleasant walk around a mini Venice but limited parking and mainly all residential properties so felt like you were walking through someone's back yard"

"Great spot for coffee and gourmet snacks, and an incredible pancake breakfast on the patio on weekends. Anna makes the best cappuccino! Very special location with added benefit of a small but Uber cool thrift store in back."

"The cutest shop with the kindest people! The staff is so nice and I’m obsessed with everything in there"
