These guys are absolute sweethearts and thwy know coffee and tea. My cappuccino was sumptuous, both light and robust at the same time. Relax chill atmosphere in the heart of downtown Santa Monica.
Quality of the coffee is top notch. Pure coffee bean flavor clean with no aftertaste. Very nice workers there.
Love the place so simple.
The coffee is great. 10 service

If you work in downtown Santa Monica, free yourself from the ubiquitous Starbucks, and the idiosyncratic Philz-- and elect The Refinery.
This place has a crazy-friendly staff, and MOST IMPORTANTLY the coffee is transcendent. Delicious. Perfect. The lovingly crafted drinks cause customers to sigh audibly with satisfaction as they take their first sip. All the classic coffee concoctions have a place here -- as well as a few tasty teas.
With each visit, I reflect with pride on my decision to patronize such a fine establishment. The service is quick and efficient without sacrificing quality -- a rare balance to strike in the coffee shop game. You feel as if the composition of your drink was handled with care, but without the self-indulgent posturing you'll find at competitors.
If you're not in a rush to get back to the office, take a moment to enjoy the cool air inside, or warmth of the outdoor seating. The shop invites groups to stay and chat with their ample table seating, while offering bar stools for the staunch individualist seeking respite from the world outside.
If you are truly a discriminating coffee drinker, give these people your money.
Great selection on all drinks.
They do not roast but they use Ritual from San Francisco. They coffee is max 5 days old from roasting which is amazing comparing to anything else around.
Always 2-3 options of Pour-overs.
Their coffee is light-medium roasted so if you like it dark its not for you.
WiFi is honestly slow, but besides that everything is 5 stars, definitely stop by!
Best coffee I have had in the USA. The gorgeous barista even asked if I prefer a flat white or latte (he knew I was from Melbourne) and even thought they only had latte on the menu, he made me the most amazing flat white! Yum! Do yourself a favour if you want Melbourne quality coffee!
Great coffee shop serving Ritual beans with a full espresso menu and ample seating.
Artisan coffee. Forget bitter and overheated Starbucks, this is the place in LA to appreciate what coffee should taste like.
Great coffee and knowledgeable staff. Can't go wrong with anything here
Great roast and simple. What every coffee shop should be. Large table space for studying. Good music. Outgoing professionals. Chic. I'd be here every weekend if I had the chance.
I got a iced caramel latte and my bf got a latte and it was probably the best coffee I've had in LA. Service was so friendly ... This one guy was extremely knowledgable and conversational. Really makes the place somewhere you want to come back to again and again. Even talked me into green tea mints that are phenomenal lol
Really cute coffee shop and really sweet barista. I ordered a chai tea but they were out of chai, so the barista immediately named off about 5 other things I might like and began pulling out samples before I knew what was going on! (:
Minimalist design and a handful of tables to get work done. Not the most comfortable seating, but it looks super sleep.
Good experience overall. Would love if they had a few additional non-coffee options (juices, kombucha, etc.) but regardless, I’d come back!
While I've only been here once, my experience was fantastic.
- Fantastic service. Friendly baristas who assisted me with my order.
- Delicious drinks with great coffee taste.
Very good coffee, not just out of an urn but made freshly. Cool, contemporary metals and greys against backdrop of glass front wall and sidewalk outside. The one detraction, other then the lack of plants (very sterile, open plan), is the noise of the refridgerator in the room - it overshadows everything, even the piped-in music.
Love their lattes! The batista is very friendly and knowledgeable about coffee.
The milk oolong is delicious and smooth, with no milk involved.
