Ten By Nine - Marina del Rey

Great place! Lots of light and spots to sit, verrrrry high ceilings and an open feel, got the open faced bagel and a matcha, both were really

Not sure what all the raves are about. They’ve gotten rid of all the things that made them special a few years ago, like condensed milk, and other little goodies, so it’s really just an upscale Starbucks to hang out with your computer and overspend.Ordered two things that were “no longer on the menu“, and all of their pastries were very very sweet, all pumpkin themed for the holiday.Finally ordered a regular latte, was happy to pay the eight dollars ? , and then the laid back barista decided to share their “glass jar system“ – which is a very pretentious way of saying that they charge you for a glass jar to go.I’m sorry but spending 4 dollars for a glass jar on top of an 8 dollar latte is absurd. Apparently this is their way of “protecting the environment” – AND making additional but really there are now high quality Eco friendly cups, that you could offer customers who don’t want to pay for a four dollar glass jar plus tax.Ownership mite reconsider this because as it may be great for the neighborhood folk who are going to return constantly, for those of us just stopping in it’s a huge waste of money.Not to mention that glass can break so all in all not an awesome alternative to eco friendly bio degradable cup.Went about two blocks down to another local coffee shop and got a perfectly awesome latte for 550 – and an eco friendly cup to go.

Delicious for handmade in-house and great coffee in a jam jar!

I had the orange latte and I very much enjoyed it. It was a perfect balance of orange and espresso flavors so tasty. The person greeted me when I walked in and she was so warm and friendly so service was great. The space is nice and airy with seating inside and out. Parking was easy on a Sunday morning on the street. Even though I live a bit far I would definitely come back here for the orange latte and friendly service.

We sat at the bar and the batista made me a custom drink because I requested a Spanish latte which was no longer on the menu. Staff was helpful and accommodating and nice to chat with. There is plenty of seating but might need to come early since there seemed to be many students there doing their work seriously. Next time I'd like to try their food/ snacks. Btw you can take the to-go jars home and reuse them for yourself...perfect for chia seed pudding ;
