Steven YApril 27, 2016They serve a proper cup of Intelligentsia and fresh salads - a great spot for lunch, plus the parking garage next door offers 2 hours free
Irene GirtonJanuary 7, 2015Great cocktails, lovely small bites, and a knockout short rib plate (ginger mashed sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts). Excellent attentive and responsive service.
Connie ChiuNovember 1, 2016Surprisingly beautiful decor inside. Highlights: Spanish octopus (GET IT), goat cheese and hazelnut beets, and the red quinoa pilaf with squash.
Food NetworkAugust 17, 2011Duff Goldman can't get enough of the fried onion rings at Akasha in Culver City, CA, on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Find more tips at Food Network Local. Read more
Rich GreenhillDecember 28, 2014A fine Xmas Eve meal. The gnocci starter is a must, plus all great salads. The curry was a little too soggy for me but tasted good.
Fatma GencOctober 18, 2015Best coffee, work, lunch, dinner spot in Culver city. Love the quinoa, sliders, burrata ✨
Rachel KDecember 20, 2014The garlic hummus comes with caramelized onion flatbread. So much better than boring pita.
GourmetLiveNovember 22, 2011Food blogger Julie Tilsner of The Bad Home Cook recommends Akasha, which is known for its use of locally grown organic produce and bold twists on healthy, vegetarian-based fare.
Winnie KhooJanuary 19, 2016HH: half off drinks. Fave: dinela - albacore crude, seabass, chocolate torte
FélixJune 24, 2016Perfect lunch/brunch spot! Very tasty food and friendly staff. Nice decoration tho.
Tasting TableMarch 31, 2012A trip to Bali has inspired the menu at this Culver City spot. Don’t miss the caramelized cashews with kaffir lime and fragrant baby back ribs. Read more- Lisa GanskyDecember 28, 2012Great place for coffee--they have Intelligentsia. Good place to catch up w/a friend or just bring your laptop & write!
- DyanNovember 25, 2016It has great food, though not very traditional. The Bali Seafood Curry was just amazing!
Daisy Perez EsparzaFebruary 5, 2015Nice atmosphere and music even when the live Jazz is not playing. Try the Blood orange daiquiri
Justin SatzmanSeptember 29, 2011Seriously the best turkey burger I have ever had. Also, go on Wednesday nights, they have "Wine Wednesday" where every bottle of wine on the menu is half price.- Reed JamesDecember 11, 2013Try the Pan Seared Sea Bass - Cooked perfectly. Moist and extremely flavourful. Highly recommended.
Best place for Wine on Wednesdays. Half off bottles all day and half off of wine by the glass from 4-7. Say hi to Lisa behind the bar she's great.- Reed JamesDecember 11, 2013Try the Skillet Mac And Cheese - With bacon and jalapenos. #spicy but not overly. Very #flavourful
- Elizabeth AkinsanyaJanuary 1, 2015Lots of food for people with dietary restrictions (gluten free, vegan)
Simone SteinbergMarch 18, 2013Wow. Many things to choose from. Come around 1130 and have breakfast or lunch.- The breakfast wrap is an awesome lighter take on the breakfast burrito
Jesse BlumaAugust 28, 2012Happy hour drink prices are good only at the bar, despite the close proximity of the tables. My one suggestion to the management was to change this practice. Read more
Siddharth VanchinathanFebruary 15, 2015The Brussel sprouts were weak. And there was a feather in the chicken wings. They were delicious though.
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie with Kahlua Chocolate Chip ice cream!
Katy YenDecember 4, 2012It's more like a cafe that uses intelligentsia beans. Not really your typical intelligentsia coffee experience but it's certainly a cute cafe for breakfast and such.
James CaskeySeptember 2, 2011Its like an apple store. The product is amazing but they are trying to hard for the personal customer experience and it leaves you pissed off as you have to wait. I wont be back unless I have an hour
Robert Crawford REALTOROctober 20, 2014Looking for a fresh menu and crafted cocktails? This is your place
Claire HawleyJuly 23, 2011Nectarine, prosciutto, buratta salad is yum. Creative drinks. Try the prosciutto fig pizza.
Lydia AmmosovaJanuary 13, 2011Love the earthy vibe in the café! Plus this place knocks out the most luscious foam on your latte, baby!
Wade ArmstrongJune 6, 2011The PLT sandwich - pork belly, lettuce and tomato - is one of the best things I've ever eaten anywhere!
Nicci FreemanApril 26, 2013Good coffee. Not good enough to wait 20 mins. Could've done w/o the eye rolling, & attitude. First time here, kill me for not knowing the rules & asking for a triple. Back to Starbucks 4 me.
Enjoy breakfast on the cafe patio with your pup. Don't forget to get a couple of peanut butter doggy cookies for $1.- Crystal AdamsJuly 30, 2011The akasha cocktail & onion rings are a must. Make sure to check in for drink perks!
Jane DamMay 30, 2011Get the spiked organic turkey burger. I love the jalepeno and red peppers mixed into it. So flavorful.
VxronicaNovember 6, 2011Great cocktails, gorgeous space and quality food that won't leave you feeling guilty later.
They now serve Intelligentsia coffee! No need to drive to Abbot Kinney or Silverlake for a perfect cup.
Service is normally friendly and the coffee good, but last trip here was really subpar. Cortado was terrible. Will definitely give it another shot, but for the price a bad experience here stings.
Karl HobartJanuary 6, 2011Fantastic space with excellent cocktail & beer list. I recommend their homemade jams!
