Greatness is in simplicity! Hesitated with their seasonal drink, the Habibi latte, a orange blossom water and cardamom espresso latte and their cappuccino. As this was the first time I wanted to be able to judge fairly. The cappuccino was great, one of the best I've had in a long time. The espresso flavors were in every sip! Well I can only concur with Infatuation, it's a beautiful setting to work or have a lunch, the light is beaming through and the tables and chairs are comfortable. Will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone!

First time there, tried something different for a change and I was delighted. I will definitely stop in again. The service is impeccable and the person who waited on us was born for this! Kudos!

Update 7/24/22: This is now my go-to coffee shop! The staff are super friendly and attentive and all the food and coffee I've tried has been great. I bring all my friends here when they visit and my my coworkers and I walk over for lunch when we are in the office. Love this cafe! Been here 3 or 4 times in the last 2 weeks, and have not left disappointed once! Coffee is really great and the food is amazing, especially for the price. Portion sizes are generous too, really awesome coffee shop in a nice location. Only wish they got cell service inside, lol

Perfectly located at the center of the busy office areas and amidst multiple apartment buildings, Equator occupied a very ideal spot to attract the crowd. Being a first timer might make it bit tricky to find though as it's kinda invisible by the road side. They did provide very spacious sitting areas, accommodating the needs of the guests who might mostly be employees working nearby or students. The outdoor patio was an extra win for sure! If you planned to come later in the day, just be mindful that they might run out of most pastries already but worry not about the drinks. I was quite lucky getting the last pieces of their Pain Au Choc and Almond Financier, which were both decent, served warm as the barista offered to reheat them before serving :) Got their Iced Maple Walnut Latte and Hot Vanilla Latte. The prior was more unique as I couldn't recall having such flavor before and it turned out pretty nice especially for Maple syrup lover. My Vanilla Latte was enjoyable despite unfortunately more like room temp than hot.

Nestled in a large courtyard in Culver City, this hidden gem is well worth finding parking for. Yummy food and great drinks!

The best matcha l've ever had has always come from equators, their atmosphere is truly wonderful. Their employees are extremely kind, attentive, and on top of it! I have no bad remarks about this business, I recommend to try anything on the menu. However I personally have tried their matcha w/ regular cold foam as well as the strawberry cold foam and the red velvet cold foam, almond croissant, olive muffin, and guava empanadas, all in which I can say are delicious and very much worth trying. With such a wide variety of foods, drinks, and pastries to choose from there's no way you won't like something. The staff alone makes the experience all worth it, especially if you have a hard time ordering like I do!

This place is amazing and everyone here is so friendly. The food is delicious, I’ve gotten the breakfast burrito ( it’s pretty big and shareable) and I’ve gotten the Farmers breakfast here as well. For drinks the matcha, and their seasonal almond pride and joy is good. I highly recommend this place! Wish they had one in Downtown LA!

1st visit, May 2023 Randomly happened upon this coffeehouse and our lattes were awesome. What a great surprise! I always get a latte with almond milk, and the espresso here is delicious. My partner got the Habibi and it was spectacular. Nice that their regular lattes and their specialty lattes are both outstanding. We were on foot so parking wasn't an issue (still, why people remove stars for lack of parking makes no sense to me when it's often not in the control of the business owner in a neighborhood like Culver City). We'll be back! 2nd visit, July 2023 Always a stellar experience here--such excellent service and delicious coffees! Can't wait to return and try some of their food offerings.
