"Gene’s Café in Santa Monica was my go-to spot during my hotel stay, I grabbed my morning and afternoon coffee here every day. The staff were incredibly friendly and genuinely caring. Their coffee is excellent, and the food is just as good, fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. It’s a cozy spot with great vibes that made my stay even better. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!"

"Great service, tucked inside the Huntley. Tried the iced honey lavender latte and it was too sweet for me to finish so make sure you’re mindful of their sugary drinks."

"Hidden gem in the Huntley hotel, Gene’s cafe is a super cute spot, I got a latte and it was delicious. I didn’t try the food but the barista told me they make it all in-house."
