Time Out Los Angeles

"Consider your almond milk latte to go a dose of tranquility to tote along the Boardwalk. Opportunities to linger inside are during coffee tasting sessions of San Francisco-based Four Barrel Coffee."

"If you become a regular at Espresso Profeta, ask to be added in their client system—10 cups get you one for free. Wi-Fi is also free, but be warned: there are no outlets for extended laptop time."

"Inside of the cafe, a library-like atmosphere makes it feel like you're chilling at home, while outside is more casual with multiple seats on the back patio and some tables on the sidewalk."

"The sea salted caramel latte is a signature drink, perfect for when you're craving something a little salty, a little sweet—kind of like the ocean."

"The light-filled, minimalist space features grab-and-go bottles of housemade cold brew, pastries and retail items from brewing supplies to beans. There's an all-star line-up of coffee (4-6 varieties)."

"Ask any one of their friendly staff members to help you decide which beans to bring home, or which of their hundreds of teas to order, and you'll get an education that isn't intimidating or brusque."
