Tanner's Coffee Co. - Playa del Rey — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I’ve lived in Playa del Rey for the last few years, and for some reason I’ve never gone in to Tanner’s before. Now I know why. It’s Sunday at 4:20pm and my husband and I decided to go to Tanner‘s just to get a coffee, to go…I checked online in advance and we noticed on Google it says they close at 5pm. Whew, still have 30 minutes. We parked and went to walk inside… Before we could even walk in the door, an employee came outside and said they were closed and not helping any customers. I glanced at the sign on the door and it says on Sunday they close at 5pm… Just like it says on Google. I looked at my phone, 4:34pm. I told him “I thought you close at 5pm, and he just looked at me, while blocking the front door.

Laidback coffee shop in Playa that’s good for a post-surf sesh. Came here on a Saturday morning around 9:30am and there was a short line, but it moved quickly. Indoor/outdoor seating is available.

I got a hot matcha latte with oat milk and it was a bit weak, but luckily not too sweet. The cashier seemed a bit distracted so I needed to repeat my order. They do have food available (I.e, bagels, pastries, etc) as well as smoothies. The acai one is thick and well-blended. Overall, it’s a relatively quick...

Stopping by for grabbing my to-go afternoon coffee and Tanner's coffee came up as highly rated one on Google map. I could see the place was pretty busy with people hanging out, working, as well as playing board games on Sunday afternoon. Plenty of street parking around were available.

The venue was okay-ish, though probably more like neighborhood coffee vibe than recently hyped aesthetic ones.

The barista was so nice and friendly, which was probably my highlight from this place. The Caramel Latte I went for was okay, but wouldn't call it stand out. They did have multiple non-dairy substitutes available and some munchies to grab with...
