Coffee in the United States is served by three kinds of places: national chains with drive-thrus and mobile ordering, independent neighborhood cafes that double as a workspace or a meeting spot, and specialty shops that roast their own beans or buy single-origin lots and brew them by pour-over, espresso or cold brew. Most open between 6 and 7 a.m. on weekdays, slightly later on weekends, and the busiest hour is the commute rush before 9. A drip coffee runs a few dollars, espresso drinks and specialty pours more, and tipping a dollar or a percentage on the card reader is customary but not required. Nearly every cafe offers free Wi-Fi, though some limit laptop seating at peak times or on weekends, and outlets are often the scarce resource.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. The most common schedule is 7:30 am–4 pm.

Santa Monica is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Santa Monica follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

This cafe offers both breakfast and brunch items. I ordered the Mediterranean Wrap and substituted egg whites for scrambled eggs. The wrap was delicious and packed with flavor. It wasn’t overly seasoned and didn’t break apart when eating. The avocado toast was excellent. The bread was thick and topped with a variety of fresh greens making for an enjoyable late brunch.

Had such a lovely brunch experience at this Turkish café in Santa Monica! The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented every dish felt authentic and made with care, the service was friendly and attentive from start to finish. A perfect spot for a relaxed brunch with friends or family. Definitely coming back! Big thanks to Cheff Senem!

I can confidently say this is the best café in the Santa Monica area—and perhaps even in all of Los Angeles. It offers a truly extraordinary dining experience, coffee exactly to my taste, and—of course—authentic, high-quality Turkish tea, which is a rarity in Los Angeles. The café serves top-notch Mediterranean, Aegean, Greek, and Turkish breakfast and cuisine. I spoke with the owners; they are wonderful, hospitable people. I really loved this place and will make sure to visit whenever I come to Los Angeles.

I absolutely love this café. We tried the egg and cheese croissant sandwich and the Mediterranean wrap, and both were incredible. Everything tasted so fresh, and you can really tell the ingredients are high quality. The customer service was just as impressive.. warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. All the great reviews are absolutely deserved. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu

Monica Café is honestly one of my favorite spots in town. Everything they serve is top-notch—the lattes are smooth and delicious, the muffins are always fresh (those raised muffins are amazing!), and the smashed eggs on the sesame loaf is such a perfect, feel-good dish. But what really makes this place special are the owners. They’re incredibly friendly and make you feel welcome the second you walk through the door. The service is warm, quick, and full of good vibes. Love the decor and the sitting. It’s the kind of café that just makes your day better. Highly recommend stopping by!
