Alana's Coffee Roasters

Lovely coffee shop. Indoor and outdoor seating. Small parking lot, but lots of paid street parking Very good espresso drinks, with great baked goods I had a fabulous sesame bagel. Great place to start your day!

The atmosphere is good, and there are tables outside, so you can enjoy a nice cup of coffee on a nice day. There is also a roasting machine, and you can see them roasting the beans themselves. The smell of roasting coffee is also very good. The coffee tastes very good. They sell coffee beans and various other products.

Alana’s on Venice Blvd is one of those spots locals quietly rely on. No flashy hype, no influencer circus — just genuinely good coffee and a mellow neighborhood vibe. The beans are legit, the espresso is consistently dialed in, and the baristas actually care about what they’re serving. The space has that slightly eclectic, creative Westside feel — part coffee lab, part hangout for writers, cyclists, and people pretending to finish screenplays. It’s the kind of place where you’ll run into someone you know, or at least someone who looks like they live three blocks away. Pro tip: Go mid-morning, grab a seat, and stay a while. It’s one of the few spots where Venice still feels like Venice

Discovered this place this spring , drove by many times, worked at the Starbucks across the street during the pandemic, never once came here 🤯🤯🤯 Definitely adding to my work coffee shops Google maps list! ProTIP: Don’t bother with ordering ahead, don’t think they start making it until you get there? Also, YOU need to announce yourself when you arrive to initiate the making of the drink?? - Thats what I was told anyway.

Love Alana's! They are consistently one of my favorite cafes on the West Side. Service is always amazing and the baristas are quality. Bonus points for carrying some of the best vegan croissants :)
