They serve a proper cup of Intelligentsia and fresh salads - a great spot for lunch , plus the parking garage next door offers 2 hours free

Irene Girton

Great cocktails , lovely small bites, and a knockout short rib plate (ginger mashed sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts ). Excellent attentive and responsive service.

Connie Chiu

Surprisingly beautiful decor inside. Highlights: Spanish octopus (GET IT), goat cheese and hazelnut beets , and the red quinoa pilaf with squash .

A fine Xmas Eve meal. The gnocci starter is a must, plus all great salads . The curry was a little too soggy for me but tasted good.

Great place for coffee--they have Intelligentsia . Good place to catch up w/a friend or just bring your laptop & write!

Food blogger Julie Tilsner of The Bad Home Cook recommends Akasha, which is known for its use of locally grown organic produce and bold twists on healthy, vegetarian-based fare.

It has great food, though not very traditional. The Bali Seafood Curry was just amazing!

Tasting Table

A trip to Bali has inspired the menu at this Culver City spot . Don’t miss the caramelized cashews with kaffir lime and fragrant baby back ribs . Read more

Daisy Perez Esparza

Nice atmosphere and music even when the live Jazz is not playing. Try the Blood orange daiquiri

Justin Satzman

Seriously the best turkey burger I have ever had. Also, go on Wednesday nights, they have "Wine Wednesday" where every bottle of wine on the menu is half price.

Jay Resar

Best place for Wine on Wednesdays. Half off bottles all day and half off of wine by the glass from 4-7. Say hi to Lisa behind the bar she's great.

Reed James

Try the Pan Seared Sea Bass - Cooked perfectly. Moist and extremely flavourful. Highly recommended.

Reed James

Try the Skillet Mac And Cheese - With bacon and jalapenos . #spicy but not overly. Very #flavourful

Diann K

Lavender drop! A little sweet but yummy

Elizabeth Akinsanya

The vanilla latte is my favorite!

Roman Sidoroff

Great coffee , hot tea and overall atmosphere! Likey!

Lots of food for people with dietary restrictions (gluten free , vegan )

Drew Shannon

The breakfast wrap is an awesome lighter take on the breakfast burrito

Jesse Bluma

Happy hour drink prices are good only at the bar , despite the close proximity of the tables. My one suggestion to the management was to change this practice. Read more

The Brussel sprouts were weak. And there was a feather in the chicken wings . They were delicious though.

@SDWIFEY

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie with Kahlua Chocolate Chip ice cream !

Gary Clarke

Those wings were jammin - not your normal wings , but tasty!

Katy Yen

It's more like a cafe that uses intelligentsia beans. Not really your typical intelligentsia coffee experience but it's certainly a cute cafe for breakfast and such.

James Caskey

Its like an apple store. The product is amazing but they are trying to hard for the personal customer experience and it leaves you pissed off as you have to wait. I wont be back unless I have an hour

Robert Crawford REALTOR

Looking for a fresh menu and crafted cocktails ? This is your place

Lydia Ammosova

Love the earthy vibe in the café ! Plus this place knocks out the most luscious foam on your latte , baby!

Nicci Freeman

Good coffee . Not good enough to wait 20 mins. Could've done w/o the eye rolling, & attitude. First time here, kill me for not knowing the rules & asking for a triple. Back to Starbucks 4 me.

Diann K

A lot of different tastes to choose from

Wade Armstrong

The PLT sandwich - pork belly , lettuce and tomato - is one of the best things I've ever eaten anywhere!

Caroline On Crack

Enjoy breakfast on the cafe patio with your pup. Don't forget to get a couple of peanut butter doggy cookies for $1.

Crystal Adams

The akasha cocktail & onion rings are a must. Make sure to check in for drink perks!

Claire Hawley

Nectarine , prosciutto , buratta salad is yum. Creative drinks . Try the prosciutto fig pizza .

Christopher Jones

I don't even like scones but the scones here are amazing

Roger Ma

Great coffee !

Jane Dam

Get the spiked organic turkey burger . I love the jalepeno and red peppers mixed into it. So flavorful.

Vxronica

Great cocktails , gorgeous space and quality food that won't leave you feeling guilty later.

Chris Cutjapan

They now serve Intelligentsia coffee ! No need to drive to Abbot Kinney or Silverlake for a perfect cup.

Jessie R

Service is normally friendly and the coffee good, but last trip here was really subpar. Cortado was terrible. Will definitely give it another shot, but for the price a bad experience here stings.

Karl Hobart

Fantastic space with excellent cocktail & beer list . I recommend their homemade jams !

Reed James

Try the Sweet Potato Fries - Best I've ever had.

Afra Belselah

The Bali seafood curry is so good.

Bubsy

Miranda Kerr likes to order takeout from here when in the Culver City area.
