Alibi Coffee Co. — Restaurant in Los Angeles

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in LA if not my fav. Coffee here is always top notch and tastes great. Great selection of roasts and specialty coffees. Cool thing is they have decent parking and large outdoor seating.

The aristas are a bit rude though. A couple times I've gone in there and especially today, the person was ever so rude and looked like they hated talking to us. But that's not all the workers, as some are very friendly. It's 50/50 in my experience over the years. Sorry guys, truth. Should stop anyone from enjoying great coffee though. There are tons of places much more difficult or careless when it comes to customer service in LA. I still go back because it's a cool place and they have a mural art studio attached to the boding where you can see art battles and cool stuff.

The atmosphere is fine, there's always seating and air condition inside. The cookies and pastries are good too.

Fantastic place to get coffee, my fav probably. I just wanted to give a review finally and be honest about it with a collective...

I have a complaint about the location in 2268 Venice Boulevard Los Angeles, CA. I was in the coffee shop early in the morning today when a short slighting chubby light skin Asian woman was being overly aggressive with me and harassing. Initially I was talking to one of my girl for friends who was there to work and went to another table to take a business call. After my friend left this lady who told me her name is Shai, aggressively confronted me and said “ Sir you need to buy something are you going to buy something “. I told her yes I am. I was about to leave for work and was going to take a coffee to go. She wait 2 minutes then aggressively intrudes on me getting loud and started saying “ SIR YOU NEED TO BUY SOMETHING OR YOU NEED TO LEAVE”. I’m a 6 foot shaved head African American male who is a senior in college and I am being harassed and victimized by a woman I don’t even know. I asked her name and wrote it down on my phone . She’ll continually started yelling at me and I told her...

UPDATE:

Alibi Coffee has moved and I am not sure if management has changed. It sounds like it has.

Regardless, I have been back three times and I am changing my review / rating from awhile back.

The service and coffee has been great on my visits.

Also wanna thank management for the response awhile back. Much appreciated.

OLD REVIEW

I have been coming here for years. Never going back.

Ordered a latte. Barista felt inclined to give me coffee w/ steamed oatmilk. No espresso shots.

I might not look like it, but I am an espresso snob. I can taste the difference. Looking back at it, I did find it odd that the drink was made so fast. Didn't even hear them prep and pull the shot from the espresso machine.

Buyer beware, if you care! If not, ignorance is bliss.

I am not one to write bad reviews either but I do not want this to happen to someone else.

Hopefully my loss is your gain.

UPDATE:

I appreciate the offer. I am currently out of state for work. When I return maybe I will stop...
