Great White

Tucked near the iconic Venice sign, Great White brings a slice of Australian cafe culture to the California coastline. This airy, sun-drenched spot offers a welcome respite from the Boardwalk crowds while delivering the kind of quality coffee and morning eats that make early risers feel properly rewarded.

The menu keeps things simple but executed well. Their breakfast burrito has earned a loyal following among Venice residents, packed with all the fixings you’d want to fuel your morning. The coffee program takes center stage here, with flat whites and other espresso drinks pulled with real skill—exactly what you’d expect from a cafe with Australian roots.

What sets Great White apart is its unpretentious efficiency. You can pop in for a quick pre-work bite and be on your way within half an hour, but the relaxed atmosphere also welcomes those who want to linger over multiple cups of coffee. It’s the kind of neighborhood spot that feels equally suited for a grab-and-go moment or a leisurely catch-up with friends.

For anyone looking to start their Venice day right without the tourist-heavy chaos of the beach scene, Great White delivers a reliable, quality breakfast experience that locals have quietly claimed as their own.
