Dayglow is that hot new “baddie” in town—and I’m hooked. I came in looking for caffeine, and my first drink was the Military Latte (espresso, matcha, bourbon vanilla, cocoa). One of the boldest and prettiest coffee creations I’ve ever had—unique, addictive, and unforgettable. Bold flavors, fun vibes, and a menu I can’t wait to explore. Dayglow has me on my knees.

The pour over from Dak was on point. The place was busy but the baristas still did a great job making the coffee and taking care of their customers. It’s a small place. So maybe not large groups unless you want to stand. Grab a coffee and go to the beach because there isn’t good coffee at the beach.

Dayglow Coffee in Venice is a specialty coffee stop that feels genuinely curated, from the beans to the people behind the bar. It’s on Rose Ave and the whole point is discovering interesting roasters and coffees you don’t see everywhere, without the vibe getting pretentious.  We ordered a flat white with Ethiopia A Beautiful Life and Clover milk, and it was exactly the kind of cup that makes you slow down for a second. Beautiful balance, smooth texture, and you can tell the baristas are properly trained because the coffee is dialed in, not just “good.” If you’re the type who actually tastes your coffee and cares how it’s made, this place delivers.

While looking for St Maxine, accidentally landed at the opening day today of Dayglow in Venice. It was busy and chaotic, with equipment malfunctioning that stopped all hot coffee, pour over coffee running out, things not working. None of that mattered as the staff kept their cool, and kept chugging along. Johnny made me a delicious anaerobic pour over, dayglows own F10. It took 20 minutes but was worth it. The kid wanted hot chocolate but they weren’t setup for that yet. So she ended up getting a flaky fresh chocolate croissant with enough chocolate to make a 3 year old happy. Lots of dogs. The location has a lot to natural sunlight and plenty of spots to enjoy a cup of coffee. It’s surprisingly kid friendly, despite not having kid drinks yet. The decor is minimal. The coffee is highly curated and represents the best of the best: from Fritz in South Korea to Swerl from Sweden. Considering there are so few super high quality artisanal coffee places in the west side, dayglow venice saves you the trouble of going to north east LA for world class coffee. This is in the same league as the always excellent Kumquat, ondo, endorfeinne. We will be back to try other pour overs. Tip: Plenty of street parking on Rose. Tip: Once Awan opens up next door, try some excellent ice cream and coffee together

Coming here as my matcha-fan friend has been bragging about Dayglow’s drinks being awesome. Despite I really loved Larchmont and have been knowing they have an outlet there, it's quite a drive away so highly excited knowing they now expanded their footprint into Venice! Rose was one of my favorite spots in town, where all the nice cafes and restos sitting at the same array and the neighborhood was just pleasing to walk around. Occupying a corner space made Dayglow a great place to just sit and spend time people-watching. The venue's setup even seemed to enable it with semi-open space and plenty of window seating. Their drink menus were 'adventurous' to go through, not only that the mind behind it was creative in naming, but also it featured fun mixes of ingredients, giving the feeling that each drink was just standout and uncommon. All baristas were super friendly and fun, convincing me straight away that my initial visit would certainly be not the only one, even before I sipped my drink. With richer menu sometimes got tricky and caused more dilemma than helping you being decisive, the knowledgeable baristas certainly turned helpful there as they would ask for your preference and gave you recommended options. Being torn between trying their coffee or their matcha since both seemed highly-recommended, I scored two wins by going for their Military Latte, which was basically their version of Dirty Matcha or Matcha with Espresso shot. First sip and LOVESTRUCK! Strong coffee and quality matcha made the power couple there, sweetened by their bourbon vanilla syrup. They should forgive me for just giving a chance and paying a visit, after so long being kinda skeptical that it's just 'selling aesthetic gorgeous' space. Price wise it might sit at the higher end, but I would say doubtlessly worthy.
