I loved being at this coffee shop so much 🙀. If only I didn’t also have all of my luggage with me... but no matter. It was an experience.
I have to tread carefully with my description. There was a heavy pretentiousness pervading the Shop, but not in the way I’ve experienced it before. Everyone was so nice and willing to have a conversation and share a smile. But there was also this implicit waiting that everyone seemed to accept as normal. Every coffee drink was about 100% longer to prepare then the average of any cafe I’ve ever been to. I think the pretense was simply the expectation of perfection and craftsmanship. All aspects of the process were transparent- the bar, the kitchen, the roaster, the packaging. Everything could be inspected and scrutinized by anyone.
All drinks were served in glass save the filter coffee which was presented in a glass carafe with a ceramic mug (no handle, thick walls, wide mouth).
I need to go back!
Really kind woman helped us at the counter. People were patient with me. Space is open and feels freeing. More charging spaces would be nice as I had arrived from an international flight. I like the to go glass policy. The product was great -as far as coffee goes. I did not like the cookies. Odd use of espresso machines- that could be a little more organized.
The staff was really friendly. Delicious latte. I also ordered the avocado toast as well and it came out beautifully, but just beware if you’re not a fan of cilantro, they do use a lot of it.
Cool hip coffee place with great coffee and a small selection of pastries and “bowls” with fruit or veggies. It’s on a side street in a driveway so if u don’t look for it u won’t see it. Poached Eggs were amazing. The croissant not so. But would for sure come again when in the area. Great vibe and nice people.
Amazingly smooth and exquisite taste of coffee and I was even shocked by how good the short bread was, I never thought shortbread could be this unique. I was also impressed by their to go glass cupđź’”

-1 point for not having oat milk.
Their granola was served like an avant-garde modern painting and tasted more healthy than enjoyable but it did leave me feeling pretty good. Depends whether it's your idea of a good time. Being brutally honest I feel like these guys are trying too hard to be different instead of having tasty offerings. Still a great place though.
As the hidden gem of Culver City, Bar Nine sits on all of LA's "Best Coffee Shops" lists for good reason. With an expertly trained barista staff, premiere equipment, and a one-of-a-kind Modbar, Bar Nine is both an extraordinary roaster and phenomenal coffee shop to visit. Ample seating with small pocket workspaces add to the atmosphere and vibe. They've recently introduced an in-house food menu, serving extraordinary breakfast dishes tailored for LA foodies. It may be hidden from the heart of Culver City, but that element of intrigue just further adds to the persona of Bar Nine.
Cool low key spot to do your work + quick bite and amazing coffee
