  Very convenient location and quick service. I have been here a few times where I order my food and then walk to the beach to enjoy it with a good view.
  
  I have gotten the different types of acai and so far they have all been good. It is a small place so when there is a larger crowd it can be a bit of a hassle - but worth it for the price.

  SEXUAL HARASSMENT BY CASHIER/ KITCHEN STAFF.   I did not get a chance to try the food. I along with 2 girlfriends came in recently to get some lunch. The cashier was looking me up and down for a while while "cleaning" as I waited to take my order. And while I ordered he was smiling at me strangely. After asking for my name 3 times as if he did not hear my answers, he asks, "name and number?" and I paused, and he along with the 4 men who had stopped what they were doing in the open kitchen all laughed. I paused as to not want to offend him, and I asked "are you going to text me when my order's ready?" he said "yeah I'll text you" and his coworkers began laughing again.  If he had said he was joking it would have been one thing, but to have the 5 men at the cafe all turned laughing at us made me very uncomfortable, especially after being ogled.  Wasn't sure whether to walk out and as he told me the amount I began to hand him my card. He swipes it out of my hand and in a mocking tone says "cash only" and all 5 men laugh again. If its cash only, you have NO reason to take my card from me. I snatched it back and walked out of the place. He yelled after me asking if I was going to cancel and I said "F*** yeah!" which made him angry, and he continued yelling at us as my friends made it out the door.
  
  Some level of getting hit on (while not ideal) is tolerable, however this was different- especially by an employee of a business. Very disrespectful and inappropriate behavior by all 5 men working there. Can't speak to how the food is but please do not support this business. Hopefully others aren't harassed here.

  As far as the Marina goes, this is a good option (but that's not saying much). The food and the coffee here are actually pretty good, but the service and the speed at which your order arrives is upsetting.
  
  The service isn't terrible, it's just confusing. With the long lines, you pretty much have to wait outside until your order is called. However, you don't really know when that occurs do your food just sits there if you're not diligent in checking every so often. The hardest pill to swallow is the wait time. I came here on a Tuesday morning, not a Friday or a weekend, and had to wait 45 minutes for some breakfast sandwiches.
  
  Again, the food and coffee are actually quite good. Is it worth the wait? I don't think so.

  Super eclectic crowd, menu, and staff... love it!!!! The service is top notch with a super chill vibe. The kona coffee is hands down the best! Their juices are made fresh as well as every dish they churn out. I've had the avocado toast, the breakfast tacos and a bowl. Every single item has been a great pleasure with freshness in each bite. Be careful of where you step though, the floor is uneven.

  Location: It is really close to Venice Beach near Ocean Front walk. On Washington and Ocean Front Walk, there is $5 parking from 6am-midnight.
  
  The People: The barista was very helpful and nice, people come here to hang out in the first world and they have a designated study/work area in the second floor.
  
  The Drinks: I got a large cold brew, it was good.
  
  Food: I did not order any food, but if one wanted to, the kitchen closes at 5pm. So if one's goal is to eat then study, I advice coming at 4pm.
  
  Work/Study: This was a great spot to study. I asked the barista and he said that the best time to come study upstairs is between 5pm-8pm. I came here on a Monday and had the whole second floor to myself for an hour and a half. I was so happy.
  
  The Venue: It is a pretty quiet place to study. Of course, one can hear the people outside working, but it is not distracting at all. Lots of spots to sit. It is cash only so bring enough cash to get you by.
  
  Upshot: One of my favorite spots to come do some work. I recommend (if one brings a laptop) to come with it charged. There are charging outlets but not every seat has them so come prepared.
