Love Cafe Santo. Had tried their great coffees before. This time I tried something different, the matcha latte, and it was very good! Definitely recommended

Cafe Santo is a whole mood. It's this little walk-up with delicious coffee, amazing avocado toast, and reggae music that just transports you to a happy place. Sitting al fresco, sipping your coffee and listening to music and enjoying good company. It couldn't get any better except it being on the beach somewhere. A must try. 10 out of 10.I had the Oaxacan Mocha, I love dark chocolate so this was right in my wheelhouse. The avocado toast is 2 decent sized slices with sweet cherry tomatoes, a tangy chili oil, zesty lemon, and sesame seeds. It makes the perfect snack.

Chai coffee and chamomile tea perfection. The coffee was Delicioso gosh and the setting rustic and cute.

I came in a morning after it rained, the benches were very wet but one of the workers were kind enough to dry it up. Thanks bro! No thanks to the guy that was managing the patio heaters and couldn’t turn one on so we froze our nalgas off. I ordered a grip of drinks and burritos ($10 each, yikes). My total for 4 peeps was almost $80. Their food and coffee was good but I thought it was about 10-15% higher for a comparable product. Overall the coffee was good and would get it again if I felt like splurging and was passing by. This place is a good place to have a drink with a friend if you’re dressed warm (fall or winter) and they turn on the heaters. There is other food choices inside if you’re not feeling a burrito. Parking can be challenging if you’re not familiar with the area.I hope they add online ordering or maybe they have that already, I’m not sure.

I work as a barista at a successful independent coffee shop in LA, so i know great coffee when i come across it. Don’t let Café Santo’s small shipping container footprint deceive you: they serve up excellent, high-quality product. Highlights were the whole-milk cappuccino and the oat milk hot dirty chai latte. The cold brew was different from my usual go-tos, as it was brewed with Guatemalan coffee beans, but that gave it a brightness that the other darker cold brews I’ve had lack. Extra points go to their on-point graphic identity, as well as their location: they are situated in front of a bright, modern and wide-open patio area filled with wooden bench seating, and lined with three or four other dining options, for those inclined to grab a meal with their brew. However we went in the mid morning, so most of these places were not open at the time. This just gives us more reason to come back and enjoy Café Santo. Highly recommended for coffee connoisseurs.

Went here with friends last week ! The best matcha ever! I got the iced matcha latte w/ oat milk. I love how it’s organic & not pre sweetened like so many other places! This is my new go to spot for matcha lattes now! ??

Really great cold brew and lots of outdoor seating & dog friendly. Also got the mamelas which were amazing.

We tried the Mocha Oaxaqueño with Oat Milk and it was outstanding. I can't wait to go back & try all of their offerings and buy some merch!!
