Tanner's Coffee Co.

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. There’s a parking lot on the side with paid parking, but if you’re there for a quick stop, there is a row of spots for ~20 min free parking. Credit cards accepted. 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 in-and-out local spot.

This places is a got a unique beach retro look to itself. Walls are covered with historical news paper articles and beach gear. When it comes to food and drinks, I was deeply disappointed by freshness, taste, and quality. I ordered a almond chocolate croissant and asked for it to be warmed. The chocolate croissant was warmed in a microwave and tasted old and funky. I have had plenty croissants in my life and this just wasn’t right. Now, my blended drink was just sad. Lacking flavor and halfway through becoming crushed ice only. Overall, I wouldn’t return because I don’t trust the quality of their food.

Tanner's has everything you could ask for in a local coffee shop: 1a. Elite coffee (I rock the iced latte or iced mocha, each are expertly crafted and perfect for a walk to the beach on a warm Playa del Rey day), 1b. Awesome, friendly staff, 2. Great beach vibes that fit the community. Plug in and do some work, sit on a cozy couch and read, or enjoy the breeze outside. 3. Tasty food + Smoothies. My fav is the Bacon, Egg, Cheese + Avocado on Onion bagel. wow so good I may grab one right now brb
