  Just arrived in from Melbourne in transit to Detroit and my bro swung by airport and took me to intelligentsia for quick fuel up! Flat white and macchiato later and feeling the jet lag disappear already. I love this place! There's a reason it's so many Aussies fav place to grab a cup of joe!

  Very good coffee and quite a cool place. Expect a big line up and a healthy spoonful of pretentious with your coffee...

  What more can you ask for. Four (4) Synesso twins head brew units. One (1) 4 brewhead GS2. And so many grinders that I can't count them all. Here is a place where you can enjoy their game changing BlackCat espresso, and then compare it with a single origin expresso. There are many pour... Read more

  Very cool cafe in Abbot Kinney Blvd in Santa Monica...
  
  I went 4 days in a row, all the coffees were good, although quite inconsistent from barista to barista. One of those coffee's was amazing, so I think my biggest frustration was knowing how good it "could" taste, and not having... Read more

  To think the US doesn't have coffee to Australian standards is very very wrong, It may be a rare occurance but its very possible to find great coffee and this is where.
  Absolutely delicious!!!
  So glad I found this place on my stop over in L.A.
  I knew of Intelligentsia in... Read more

  Wow. This is a cafe you can't stop talking about. I read the reviews before I went and thought they may have been a bit too exaggerated. But no, the cafe is everything people have said and more.
  The line up took about 5 minutes, and it seemed we got in just in time, as this place gets busy.... Read more

  Intelligentsia sets the standard for American espresso and this place is a coffee snob's fantasy. All the baristas are excellent. I was particularly impressed by M'lissa, Nicely and Dan. It's best to go there early in the morning or in the late afternoon for a lovely affogato. The lines can be... Read more

  I nearly drowned in Hipsters, but the coffee was perfect. Great Burundi pour-over and Rwandan macchiato. Constantly busy, industrial vibe.

  Brilliant concept. This place is a must visit for every coffee lover. It is great as the customer to have the barista talk you though the preparation of your drinks. Exceptional latte art.

  Intelligentisia Venice Coffeebar is amazing!! What a great concept. To have multiple baristas each on their own 2 group Synesso with Mazzer grinders & tamp area that each barista can customise to their height preference by hydraulic lifting benches! From the front this store is very subtle and... Read more
