Hands down my favorite artisan coffee shop in Los Angeles. The owner and head barista, who goes by Nicely, is the 2010, 2011, & 2012 Coffee Fest World Latte Art Champion.  Located steps from Venice Beach, Menotti’s serves Four Barrel Coffee and spins vinyl, which makes it the perfect respite from the tacky tourist traps nearby. You might get lucky and have Derek make your coffee when he’s not on tour as Bank’s drummer.
