Groundwork Coffee Co.

Delicious espresso but cold service especially for a slow paced 2:25pm on a Tuesday. No one behind the counter even made eye contact (and I did tip). A little humanity goes a long way fellas!

I'm a big fan of this space for a little work and a lotta coffee. A range of coffee is on offer, including non-dairy milks, and an awesome selection of baked goods. The gluten-free morning glory muffin is a winner. Mary is my fave friendly face to see of a morning, too.

If you're working, everyone is respectful of the space, and keeps an eye out for laptops if you need to nip to the loo or grab another flat white. There's a back space with tables that is quieter, though no natural light.

Bonus: there are often dogs outside chilling while their owners sip a coffee on the outside benches.

Groundworks keeps hiking up the prices making what was once my favorite neighborhood haunt another expensive coffee spot. It’s a shame.

Came here to work on my laptop and eat lunch around 11 am on a weekday and the place was packed. They do have more seating inside in the back but that was filled up also. I was forced to go outside but thankfully their wifi reaches to their outside patio! the food wasn't bad but it wasn't the best portabello sandwich I've ever had either. Their coffees are better but this place is definitely overpriced.

You could get a latte in Venice at a bunch of spots, but this cafe has a positive team that genuinely enjoy the process of helping you wake up. It is rare for someplace to stand out for having happier staff in such a town, but groundwork reigns supreme.

Coffee this place is all about the coffee. You can’t go wrong if you order what you typically order at a coffee shop. You will love it here.

Ordered a vegan breakfast burrito and they gave me a regular one. I was bummed. I let them know and the manager was very apologetic and refunded me. I was very impressed at how they handled the situation! Thanks for the good experience Groundworks! I'll be coming back again.

Delicious coffee and to die for pastries make this a place you'll want to be visiting every morning. Try the iced dirty chai and the almond croissant.

Nice little coffee shop. Friendly staff. A little pricey, but we ordered affogatos and would definitely recommend them for a wake-up treat on those days you can't quite shake the grogginess on a warm morning.

Fresh! Authentic! Rich roasted coffee with kind gentlemen at your service. Starbucks is corporate and I think big corporations have taken enough of our hard earned dollar$. Groundwork is the ONLY place I'll go for coffee when in Venice♥️ CA!
