Espresso Cielo

Great iced coffee & service! Drink half of it, then ask for more ice & add almond milk : it's like a free one. Free wifi also. Bathroom needs key. Parking around is not that hard at noon.

Let's talk about how this shop is one of the few places to serve 49th parallel coffee in LA. The mocha is my recommendation.

Tasty traditional coffee close to Venice Beach . Escape the crowds and crazy characters here for a while and enjoy the afternoon sun. Worth the short walk!

Best coffee on the westside. Unparalleled care in preparation. They serve 49th Parallel espresso which is robust & sweet. Cute spot for a coffee date too.

Friendly joyful young baristas. They are meticulous with their espressi served in glass (Spanish style). The level is high and hasn't dropped since they opened. Enjoy!

My go to. Mocha is always phenomenal and exactly the sweetness I like. They have 49th parallel espresso here and a great set of outdoor seating .

Some lovely espresso and free wifi . Be wary as it might be closed for refurbishment right now.

Cozy atmosphere with baristas that sing Frozen. Wish I could hang here more!

A block from the ocean. Very good coffee . Clean ; very friendly service . Reasonable prices.

Good little shop, rarely overcrowded, skilled and friendly baristas , pretty good beans from 49th Parallel.

If you want a really nice coffee , you can't beat Espresso Cielo. They serve a very special (and rare) kind of coffee from Vancouver.

Baked goods from Hotcakes Bakes! Try a canelé and feel oh so francophilic.

As much as I love the vibe and feel of this place, I wouldn't come if the coffee wasn't good. That being said, it's one of the most perfect cups of espresso I've ever had.

Didn't try an espresso based drink so I do lament that but the drip was alright. Service and Ambience is just ok. I'm thinking it's a better takeaway spot then a place to stay and enjoy.

Very good coffe ! They realy know how to make a good one!

Favorite spot to work in SM. Great location, it's fun to sit in the window & watch everything happening out on Main st. LOVE the velvet tea & almond crossont.

Smooth, velvety latte . This locations doesn’t have food though, it’s the other location!

Great independent Main street third wave coffee shop

Ask about the Australians and learn something about coffee .

Great iced latte ! Not at all bitter, and ready quickly and with a smile. :-)

Very nice barista helped me find something that would keep me up!

Great lemon cake

Single origin pour over ,every sip is worth it for us coffee geeks!

I don't know what the benefits of cold brewed tea are, but the liquid jade was refreshing on this 90° November day.

This bright blue Santa Monica café uses beans from Vancouver's famed 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters .

you need to try the Piccolo Latte Great coffee flavor and perfect amount of milk A great experience any time of the day

Wifi is free and the password is currently ‘beans121’

Very good coffee and almond croissants

The espresso rocks! But it takes a time...

ask about the big a$$ clock on the wall... it's got great history!

I'm not really sure, but i didn't like the vanilla latte :)

Love the Latte . Coffee on the acid side, and sublimeness of your drink depends on who is the barista in charge that day.
