This spot in Santa Monica is always washed with daylight, thanks to wide, floor-to-ceiling windows. Menu-wise, the espresso drinks are excellent, and it’s worth trying the weirdly good lemonade iced coffee. It’s a great spot for work if you’ve got a puppy in tow—the entire space is dog-friendly, and the backyard offers plenty of room for them to stretch out under your table.
