MUD\WTR :gather — Restaurant in Santa Monica

My brain is temporarily closed for morning and afternoon coffee maintenance. That said let’s begin this cafe review.

MUD\WTR is a trendy coffee oasis that emits a namaste of tranquility. It’s located on Main street in Santa Monica. They have prodigious approach to traditional coffee; they offer an organic coffee that focus on energy without the jitters and immune support. They offer a variety of blends such as OG, matcha, tumeric, cacao and rest. Similarly, they sell merch, mugs, coffee bean bags, hats, etc.

Its interior space was massive with high wooden exposed ceiling. Moreover, their unique design and tranquil atmosphere subserving one’s neuronal activity. I came here for the first time because of my curiosity of their brand name. In addition, they have some outdoor seats for those who prefer fresh air and a tan. Lol.

I was greeted by a mellifluous tall white female barista. I perused their almost alien menu; I end up ordering a small The Iced Latte OG (original blend, coconut creamer, maple syrup and milk). It was light in taste and uniquely refreshing.

Prices were fair. Service was spot on. Staff were competent. Parking lot available albeit limited. Store vibe was very relaxing. Collectively, it’s hip trendy coffee shop perfect to chill and get your office work done.

Overall, I had a good experience and chill in one of their faux leather couches. I highly recommend this...

I love studying here and generally only have good things to say.

My only issue has been that I tore my ACL, meniscus & PCL this year due to an accident, and noticed that the handicap spot is often times coned off or taken by employees without handicap placards.

I’ve brought up the spot being blocked off or taken by employees 3 times now over the course of 6 months, and it honestly just seems like they don’t care.

It’s a bit disheartening because to me it signals a lack of accessibility or care for people who aren’t able bodied.

Today when I was ordering a drink, I brought it up to the person working and they said that they own the lot, it’s not a state lot, so they can do what they want with it.

Not sure how legit that is, but in any case, I think they should take down the spot/disabled markers if they don’t plan on enforcing it.

It’s a shame because I think it points to a lack of care and consideration, again, for people who are experiencing disabilities.

This place has such a warm, inviting, calm, spacious feel to it. It's got an open floor plan with floor seating and tables and benches to accommodate accessibility and comfort. ❤️ It's generally full of folx having quiet conversation or working/co-working. The beverages are nourishing and the staff is really friendly and welcoming.

This is one of my favorite places to spend the day in focused work when I'm in the LA area. Ive met interesting people, there are spaces for meditation, private co-working spaces, a sauna, all kinds of classes (I have not used any of these but I love that they are available.) The environment is encouraging of inner exploration, focus, health and calm. I...
