We came here before our beach clean-up, and I have to say — even though it was a little busy, the staff was incredibly welcoming. It’s been a long time since we've experienced a morning crew that was this genuinely friendly! We got a breakfast burrito and a chocolate croissant. The food was great, but honestly, the highlight was the staff. Huge thanks to them for making our morning so enjoyable!
This place is cute, easy, and has great coffee. We were in town for a few days and came back here for coffee every day. Their pastries and breakfast burritos were great too. They also have one of those zuMex orange juice machines and their orange juice was so good.
We have been their fans since opening! One of the best coffee shops in Los Angeles! Staff is great! Delicious food!
I had the cardamom latte in the morning & came back for a strawberry matcha later in the day and they were both top tier. The matcha was the best I've had in awhile!! 🍓🍵 food was okay, donut was bomb, service is standard. Definitely recommend!
This place is perfection! The staff is lovely, from the 2 young people behind the counter to the chef who brought us our breakfast. The coffee was perfect, the avocado egg is the best I ever had and the ambience with the long table in the middle is so nice to make new friends. A place you cannot miss if you go to Los Angeles!
During our vacation, we visited Coffee Cielo three times and had a great experience every time! For our first two visits, we enjoyed coffee and breakfast. On our third visit, we simply relaxed by the pool with their delicious iced coffee. I highly recommend this place to both locals and visitors who love coffee. It's a fun and inviting spot to hang out and enjoy a great cup of coffee.
Espresso Cielo was the perfect little coffee stop after our beach day, and I’m already thinking about when we can go back. We walked over from the pier and loved the cozy, relaxed vibe the moment we walked in. It feels like a true neighborhood spot – warm, inviting, and not overly “chain” or corporate. I ordered a matcha latte and it was so good – smooth, not too sweet, and you could actually taste the matcha instead of it being buried in sugar or milk. It was one of those drinks you slow down to enjoy instead of just chugging on the go. We also got a cortado and loved it so much that after we finished, he immediately wanted to go back for round two and ordered a cappuccino. That alone says a lot. The espresso tasted rich and balanced, not bitter or burnt, and the milk was textured really well. The staff was kind and efficient, and even though they were busy, the vibe stayed calm and comfortable. It’s the kind of place you could grab a quick drink or sit for a while and people-watch. Overall, Espresso Cielo is exactly what you want in a local coffee shop: great drinks, warm atmosphere, and the kind of quality that makes you wish it was in your own neighborhood.
Close to Tesla Supercharger! Great little Italian Café and bistro. Lots of room, clean space, nicely decorated. The staff was nice and the Wi-Fi was good. What more do you want?
A lovely place to spend your Sunday morning with a cup of high-quality coffee. ☕️ Interiors design is modern and spacious with plenty of sunlight coming through large windows. Perfect place to journal or meet with your friends before or after heading to a workout.
What a great place to enjoy the morning. The coffee's we had (Spanish latte and Vanilla latte) were so flavorful and smooth, which complimented the tasty egg croissiant with light salad. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to visit Santa Monica again and enjoy this hidden jem !!
