[Read →](https://caspiancoast.com/news/#blog-sightglass-partnership) Good to know ## Your questions answered Everything you might ask before you walk through the door. ✶ Persian café? Yes — really. Is Caspian Coast Coffee a Persian café? Yes! We're a Persian café in Venice, California. We pour saffron lattes, cardamom cold brew, and rosewater matcha — right alongside a classic espresso menu roasted in LA by Sightglass Coffee. Persian roots, California light, Venice soul. What makes the café Persian? We build drinks around the flavors of a Persian home: saffron, cardamom, rosewater and date syrup. Try our signature saffron latte or a cardamom cold brew. The hospitality is Persian too — here, you're a guest, not a customer. What are your most popular drinks? Our signature saffron latte, Nicole's Strawberry Matcha (iced matcha with house strawberry purée), the Valentino (espresso and chocolate with a bright hint of orange), cardamom cold brew and our espresso tonic. Everything can be served iced or hot. You also serve up my favorite espresso drinks too, right? Absolutely! We serve the best espresso drinks in Venice — espresso, cortados, cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites, and cold brew — pulled from beans roasted in LA by Sightglass Coffee. Beyond the classics, we make specialty concoctions like the saffron honey latte, cardamom cold brew, and the Valentino, plus traditional Persian pastries from Kouzeh Bakery. The best espresso, signature specialty drinks, and authentic Persian sweets — all in one café. Who roasts your coffee, and where do the pastries come from? Our coffee is roasted in Los Angeles by Sightglass Coffee, one of the best in the business. Our pastries and snacks are curated in collaboration with Artelice and Kouzeh Bakery. Where is Caspian Coast Coffee located? 1501 Main St, Unit 103, Venice, CA 90291 — a block from the boardwalk. Walk in; everyone is welcome. What are the hours at Caspian Coast? We're open daily: Mon–Thu 7am–5pm Fri–Sat 7am–7pm Sun 8am–5pm Do you have oat milk and plant-based options? Yes — oat milk and other alternative milks are available for any drink, with plant-based options across the menu. What is the eye symbol on your cups? It's the nazar — the Persian eye that wards off the evil eye and stands for protection, care and welcome. Our handmade speckled ceramic eye cups are available in the café. Can I work from the café or host an event? Absolutely. We're a community space — come work, meet, or join Lazy Sundays, Backgammon Club, Record Night and Saffron Sessions. For private events and space rentals, message us on Instagram [@caspiancoastcoffee](https://www.instagram.com/caspiancoastcoffee_la/?hl=en). Who created the murals at Caspian Coast? The murals at Caspian Coast were created by [Parisa Parnian](https://www.parisaparnian.com/) — known as the Savage Muse — a prominent Los Angeles-based, Iranian-American multi-disciplinary visual artist, muralist, and experiential curator. In her words: "This Woman, Life, Freedom mural is the layered blending of worlds, memories, revolutions, migrations, freedoms won and freedoms lost. It is holidays at the Caspian Sea with family and friends, breaking sangak bread and sipping teas and coffees while playing backgammon. It is being free as a woman to wear a bathing suit and feel the sun and sea breeze on your arms and legs without fear. This mural is a love letter to my motherland and the motherland of so many in our diaspora, including the founder of Caspian Coast Coffee." Come by ## WELCOME! · خوش آمدین!
