Groundwork Coffee

Groundwork Coffee is a beloved coffee destination on Cloverfield Blvd in Santa Monica, known for consistently excellent craft coffee rooted in the classics. The menu leans on well-executed staples rather than gimmicky seasonal trends, and regulars return for the reliable quality of every cup. Guests praise the flat white as a standout order, and the cafe food rounds out the menu nicely. The space works well as a spot to settle in for a few hours, so remote workers and neighborhood regulars feel equally at home. Outdoor seating adds to the relaxed, approachable atmosphere, and the cafe welcomes families too.
