Good Boy Bob Coffee

Between the soft brown leather couches, industrial design, and patio filled with wooden tables and geometric chairs, Goodboy Bob in Santa Monica looks and feels like an extension of a tech start-up or co-working space. Which means it’s also great for posting up with a laptop. All of the coffee’s roasted in-house—so you know it’s strong—plus they serve whole wheat flatbreads, tartines, and salads. Oh, and there’s an extensive wine, beer, and cider list. You know, to get the creative juices flowing.
