Stopped in to sample the brunch. The food was excellent: looked beautiful, tasted good, and relatively large portions. I asked that the eggs Benedict be made pescatarian, and they added a lovely assortment of vegetables. Yolks were a perfect creaminess when I cut into them. I had a Napoleon for dessert which was also good .

I walked here from my hotel. I sat on the patio on a lovely day. There are plenty of umbrellas so it had plenty of shade. I ordered the freshly squeezed OJ, ham and cheese croissant and the French toast and everything absolutely delicious. I would even go as far to say it might be some of the best French toast I’ve had. I guess depending on what you want from service it was fine. You ordered on an app and it was brought to you. Overall a good experience.

This is the sort of brunch places one constantly searches for but only rarely encounters – not just delicious but innovative as well. We tried two of the menu highlights and both were so enjoyable. The Benedict here is not just any Benedict – the salmon roe, béarnaise sauce, hass avocado, with the farm eggs were unbelievably dopamine-inducing. The waffle was no less impressive – you got crispy waffle that’s made of rice combined with the super tasty ricotta cheese and a special kind of buttery compote, plus all the ripe berries – and the weird thing was that the whole thing didn’t taste too sweet or overwhelming and I couldn’t have enough!

Tres fantastique! What a fabulous little find! There is more than meets the eye at this quaint cafe in Santa Monica. Stylish lighting, earthy decor and a menu to die for. Only the best and freshest ingredients adorn the menu. The smell of the freshly baked bread is sure to pull you in. The soup was served hot and stayed hot throughout my entire meal. My salad was beautiful composed and balanced with arugula, bleu cheese, avocado, pasta and raspberries with a light vinaigrette. My Cafe au lait was beautifully crafted and smooth. The caprese is made with only the freshest burrata and I will be sure to return to sample more selections from this menu. I have taken two cookies to go and I expect they will be sublime. *Even the urinal is tres magnifique!

This pasta dish I’d give a 8.5/10. I believe it was the spinach pasta with scallops. It couldn’t been a 10/10 if the pasta was al dente and less dry. The pasta was over cooked and they stuck together. Scallops were also over cooked and had shrunk in size. Lots of potential this dish if done right. Thanks!

There is no better service available at any price point than this. The dish was served nicely and beyond our expectations. Danny, the server, advised a banana latte, which seemed dubious at first, but turned out to be the finest coffee I’d ever tasted (and I’m from Seattle). Wendy, the cook, came out and gave us a warm welcome. I would certainly recommend the cheese board because it was substantial and each cheese supplied was excellent (and I loved the other sides just as much as the cheese). Awesome!! Highly recommend..

Quite literally the best pasta dish I’ve ever had – I had squid ink pasta with salmon, roe, scallops. It was the kind of dish I’ll dream about forever.

This might be one of my all time favorite lunch places on the west side. The salads are visually stunning and taste incredible. You have the option of both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is always very friendly and willing to help. Located in main st in ocean park, it’s also surrounded by other cute shops and the beach is just blocks away. And if you’re looking for a great to go cup of tea or coffee- they’ve got you covered.
