Groundwork Coffee Co.

Great coffee and food!
A local favorite!
All organic coffee and the food is very high quality with a matching price to it. The bitchs brew is one of the best dark roast coffees you'll have try in your life!

Very cool little place, awesome breakfast and coffee, I come all the time now, there are a bunch of vegetarian options if you don't like meat and it opens pretty early... very nice! They even have a rewards program... I love it. Staff is a little moody sometimes, but who isn't like that in LA? hahaha smile people!

It's the quality coffee shop near where I work; what can I say otherwise? Certainly better than the toxic slurry Whole Foods presents as coffee, nearby.
What I should say is: I'm glad that this place is fantastic, clean, and reliable. The staff is at least informative: usually, friendly. Peoplewatching the clientele is a great change of pace for my plebeian self, also.

So I'm standing in line and the barista asks: "can I help you with something?" (Me)"Yes I'd like a cappuccino" (him) "ok yeah you're gonna have to wait." Rude. Left. Never again.

Great vibes, but the coffee isn't as good as it used to be, and they charge an arm and a leg. $4 a cup, if you bring your own mug, makes Starbucks look cheap. It also said "pour over" when the girl rang me up, but it's not, as that implies, a pour over cup of coffee. Just a big thermos with a tap like you'd see at any gas station, and tastes like it's been sitting for a few hours. I'm bummed, because years ago, I used to come here every day, and had great previous experiences.

Really enjoyed this lil spot in the cramped quarters of Venice. Very industrial and artsy. Staff are very warm and it was easy to acquire a table and chairs and chat away the morning.
Scrumptious avocado toast. Will definitely be back for the locals and great tasting food and drinks.

Great flat whites

We stopped in for a late evening cup. Atmosphere was really pleasant. The decor and music really drove the experience. All we had was standard coffee and it was tasty. Nice pick me up if you are in the area.

Coffee is my favorite; food is great. I come here to get Coffee ground for my pour over (my favorite is black & gold). They will typically customize food items, but they also have a pre-made fridge display if you're rushed. Weekends, you can expect a like out the door. Weekdays, it is a nice communal place to work, though seating is limited so don't count on an immediate seat.

Love the space. Feels like community. Good service, kind souls. Supporting local...update: and then you hope they might do a small favor for a customer, surviving in open space, move a step closer to getting off the street, but the answer is a brutally honest "no." I support local, when they support community. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Update 6/21: Sometimes, people and businesses deserve a second chance. This locale is still the epitome of community and good vibes!
