7even Seas Coffee Co. — Restaurant in Santa Monica

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I stumbled upon 7even Seas Coffee while waiting for my car to be fixed nearby on Olympic, and what a gem it is! Nestled in the back patio of AMP Association, you can also access it directly from 14th Street. This place is a Santa Monica treasure!

First off, the ambiance absolutely blew me away. There's WiFi, plenty of picnic tables with board and card games, and on weekends they even set up cornhole! My youngest son had a blast.

Now, let's talk coffee. I tried their shaken brown sugar latte, and OMG, it’s divine! Shaken in a cocktail shaker, the milk becomes super creamy and frothy, blending perfectly with their medium-light roast espresso and house-made brown sugar syrup. It’s nutty, sweet, and has that delicious brown sugar flavor without any of that acidic aftertaste you get elsewhere.

For food, I got the Breakfast Sammie, but switched it up by getting it on a butter croissant—barista Sunny’s favorite way to have it too! Instead of the side salad, they let me sub in a hash brown at no extra charge. Talk about top-notch hospitality and fair pricing! My son devoured his French toast with strawberries and bananas, and we both left satisfied and smiling.

The staff here is incredibly friendly, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. They make all their syrups, cold brew, iced teas, and foods in-house, which is fantastic.

Overall, 7even Seas Coffee offers a welcoming atmosphere, delicious drinks, and food that won’t break the bank. If you’re in Santa Monica or nearby, do yourself a favor and check this place out. It's truly a fantastic spot with something for everyone! Can’t wait to come back!

Was excited to try out their pumpkin spice latte, but was extremely disappointed all around. Ordered two lattes with oat milk, and a breakfast burrito. We were informed they were out of avocado but could substitute with an extra ingredient (we chose hash browns). After we paid and waited about 10min they called us up to say they used the last hash brown and would give us extra bacon, which was no problem to me. However, upon receiving the burrito there was no hash browns whatsoever, so we paid full price for half the amount of ingredients promised. Plus the burrito immediately fell apart. Lattes came out about 10min after that and also unexpectedly came with whipped cream even though it is not advertised as such (lactose intolerant, so then I could no longer drink it). Service had been so poor and unfriendly that it didn’t even feel worth asking to remake it. I had heard great things so I was hoping for a better experience. Would...

Off in the cut, but WELL worth figuring it out. Everything I've tried so far has been incredible and the proprietor exudes sincere kindness. I've been meaning to leave a review... Then today my wife couldn't finish her breakfast burrito from 7seas, so I was the benefactor of her leftovers. I just killed it and was compelled to write this immediately after. So. Good. It's located in a little retro camper out front of a fitness spot, which threw me off the first time I tried to find it. If you're driving, look for street parking on Olympic or 14th. I had to deduct a star from atmosphere since it feels a bit odd chilling when people are working out. That's actually how I was blessed with the leftover burrito, though. My wife felt bad eating it there while people were doing burpees and battle rope :) That said, the owner is so friendly and flavor intentional that you might not...
