MillCross Coffee Bar & Kitchen / La Sabina Wine Bar sits comfortably along Washington Blvd in Culver City, offering a hybrid experience that caters to both early risers craving quality coffee and those winding down with a well-curated glass of wine. This spot bridges the gap between a lively daytime café and a relaxed evening wine bar, making it a versatile neighborhood fixture.

During the day, MillCross feels like a thoughtfully designed coffee shop where locals come to linger or grab a quick quality pick-me-up. The interior strikes a balance between coziness and spaciousness, with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating that invites both solo visitors working on their laptops and groups catching up over brunch. The decor, which sometimes shifts seasonally—like their inviting Halloween setup—adds to the welcoming and calm vibe. It’s clear that much care goes into both the atmosphere and the menu, which leans on elevated versions of brunch classics such as shakshouka, chilaquiles, and avocado toast, alongside specialty coffees like flat whites and a diverse selection of matcha and chai lattes. For those mindful of diet restrictions, options like their gluten-free house waffle provide thoughtful variety.

The coffee itself consistently draws commendations for being expertly brewed—not just your standard drip, but nuanced and balanced drinks that clearly attract patrons who appreciate their morning cup being taken seriously. The iced offerings and creative matcha variations stand out, refreshing for warm California days. The food, while on the pricier side, aligns with the quality and creativity patrons expect from a café that puts transparency and care into its ingredients and preparation.

As afternoon turns to evening, the space takes on a quieter, more intimate air with La Sabina Wine Bar drawing a crowd interested in a well-selected array of French and Austrian wines, along with kombucha options for non-alcoholic choices. It suits those looking to unwind after work in a spot that feels local and unpretentious rather than a loud nightspot.

One challenge visitors should plan for is parking; the immediate area is known to be a bit cramped and weekends tend to bring a busier crowd. Still, this reflects how the place is cherished and frequented by locals, whether they’re on a casual weekend brunch outing or stopping in for an afternoon coffee break. Staff interaction here can sometimes feel uneven depending on the day, but generally, the service supports the easy-going and genuine nature of the spot.

  • Best for: Morning to early afternoon coffee enthusiasts, brunch lovers, and casual wine sippers in the evening.
  • Who will enjoy it: Locals who value high-quality, thoughtful food and drinks, and visitors wanting a relaxed Culver City experience beyond the usual chain cafés.
  • Best time to visit: Weekday mornings or early afternoons for a calm vibe; later in the evening for a quieter wine bar atmosphere.
  • Atmosphere: Inviting and artfully designed, with a warm interior that transitions smoothly from bustling café to mellow wine space.

My first visit here was fantastic. I loved the atmosphere here. The second visit was less enthusing because worker taking my order seemed less interested in providing a welcoming experience. The person at the cashier from my first visit seemed much friendlier. I'll chalk it up to his having a bad day for today even if it did taint my experience. Food is pretty good, but quite expensive. I would probably visit this place more often if price was not too expensive and parking was easier. Regardless, the overall vibe in the shop is great.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This place is an absolute gem. The food is outstanding—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell a lot of thought goes into both the ingredients and the execution. What really elevates the experience, though, is the service. The servers are warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling overbearing. They made us feel taken care of from start to finish and added such a positive energy to the meal. Delicious food + amazing service = a restaurant I’ll be coming back to again and again. Highly recommend!!!

Millcross is a perfect café. The coffee is excellent, the food is thoughtful and consistently well done, and everything comes out exactly as it should. Nothing feels rushed or sloppy, and nothing feels overdone either. The space is comfortable with a calm, welcoming vibe, whether you’re stopping in quickly or settling in for a while. The staff is friendly, efficient, and clearly cares about what they’re doing. An all-around outstanding café that gets everything right.

One of my favorite coffee shops! The space itself is so cozy and uniquely designed, their food is fantastic, and the coffee/tea menu is full of delicious, creative drinks. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Not going to lie though, the parking is atrocious and the place itself is a madhouse on the weekends. Also is pricey, but I think it is worth it as they clearly prioritize high quality ingredients!

We stopped by MillCross Coffee Bar yesterday and had a great experience! We didn’t eat anything this time, just enjoyed a cup of coffee and some kombucha ~both were really good. The place was decorated beautifully for Halloween, which added such a fun and cozy vibe. I also noticed they have a nice selection of French and Austrian wines and different kinds of kombucha, which is a great touch for a coffee bar. The overall atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming ~perfect for a casual coffee break or meeting with friends. It’s a dog-friendly place too. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely come back soon!

I tried their oat milk hot latte and it was honestly wonderful. The presentation in a sleek black cup with a matching saucer made it feel extra special. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately felt like ordering another. They announce your name when your drink is ready and the food is delivered right to the table number you receive at the counter, which keeps everything simple and smooth. A really pleasant experience overall.

Always phenomenal coffee, specials and classics alike! Cool crowd, trendy work space or hangout spot. Haven't gotten the chance to enjoy a wine experience here...yet. I look forward to that day! Had the Ube latte today and was excellent (not surprised). Keep it up Millcross!!
