Great White is an all-day café and restaurant group based in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 2017 by Australian restaurateurs Sam Trude and Sam Cooper, the brand is known for blending Australian coffee culture with coastal Californian cuisine.
History
Great White was established in 2017 in the Venice Beach neighborhood of Los Angeles. The founders, Sam Trude and Sam Cooper, aimed to create a "casual, airy" atmosphere focused on all-day dining. Following the success of the Venice location, the group expanded to Larchmont Village in 2021, followed by locations on Melrose Avenue, Brentwood, and Studio City.
In June 2023, Great White was named the "Casual Restaurant Winner" at the 19th Annual **HD Design Awards** (Hospitality Design), recognizing the brand's focus on immersive environments.
Culinary Style
The restaurant's menu is market-driven with a focus on seasonal, local produce. Key elements include:
- **Pizza Program:** Dough made from a 50-year-old Italian starter.
- **Sourcing:** "Sustainable (Seriously)" ethos with local ingredient integrity.
- **Beverage:** Low-intervention wines and proprietary beer labels.

As of 2026, Great White operates locations in:
- Venice Beach
