Best Panini in town for sure. However, if you are looking for a more hearty breakfast & lunch go to Joni's Coffee on Washington Blvd.

5 Stars: The best seafood salad ever! (by Veronica O.)

This was one of my favorite places to lunch at when I worked on that side of town. The seafood salad is my favorite. It is a little pricey but they don't skimp on the seafood. You get a really nice piece of salmon, three big, perfectly grilled scallops and a few nicely grilled shrimp. This is all served on a bed of greens tossed with a light dressing. Their burgers and sandwiches were also good too. They have different specials everyday but I usually stuck to my favorites. Service is pretty quick too even during the lunch rush.

4 Stars: New to Panini's? (by Jack Y.)

Then this is the place to be. I've been fortunate to try all their panini's on different occasion except the vegetable and turkey burger. I've yet to be disappointed in their sandwiches. My personal favorite is the prosciutto and formaggio cheese, it is a great combination and absolutely mouth watering. I'm yet to try their breakfast menu but will certainly do so soon, if it's anywhere near as good as their lunch menu then it will be a hit.

PROS: Great off the wall combinations of food
CONS:

4 Stars: Surprisingly Good Brunch Food in MDR Strip Mall (by Andrew S.)

If you are in the Marina Del Rey area around brunch time and looking for a place that isn't just decent Panini Coffee & Cafe is for you. I have never had a bad meal here. In fact every time I take someone there is always a moment when they look up and say 'wow this food is fantastic". You have to order at the counter and then they bring the food to your table. There is a very Euro thing going on with the food. It seems like they always use the freshest ingredients and everything is cooked to perfection. I just had a poached egg breakfast with rosemary roasted potatoes this morning and it was amazing the difference between Panini's version and the countless other's I have had in the area. In this price range I can think of no comparison on the West side - maybe the French Market in Venice. And the coffee is superb. That said brunch for two here will probably run you about $5 - $10 more than at other standard brunch places but it's worth it.

PROS: Perfectly Prepared Brunch
CONS: A bit expensive but not too expensive

5 Stars: Great Marina find! (by rlevine)

This is a great little find tucked away in the Marina Marketplace. It's a coffee shop / restaurant, and the food is really good--especially their pasta dishes. Last time we were there they had freshly baked cookies on the counter. It has a nice, relaxed vibe and it never seems to be too crowded. You can even unwind with a glass of wine. It's a perfect place to go either before or after a movie, since two theaters are within walking distance.

4 Stars: Great sandwiches (by basehit)

Not a coffee drinker but I really enjoy the
"Thai tea". We bring their sandwhiches and
salads in for lunch at work and they are
really tasty.
