Known to be one of the best breakfast places in Santa Monica (although not particularly walkable from the beach area) and rightly so.
While in the USA, I missed the fantastic cafes of Melbourne which serve wonderful coffee and other morning drinks as well as good combinations of breakfasts. I was very happy to come here and experience some of that familiarity and relaxing culture.
The Green Eggs & Ham (with La Quercia prosciutto, pesto, arugula on English muffin) was fantastic. An exceptional combination of fried eggs, salty prosciutto, peppery greens and rich pesto. Equal to the best breakfasts I've had at home.
House Cured Salmon Platter (with sliced red onion, arugula, cucumber, cream cheese & country toast) had an incredible amount of delicate smoked salmon that went well layered on top of the cream cheese and toast. The options of onions, arugula and cucumber meant you could make a variety of sandwich flavours to keep the meal interesting.
I wish I had more breakfasts available to come and try the rest of their menu. Bakery good line the front to make easy snacks and takeaway.
Next time I would order Green Eggs & Ham - the staple at this cafe. Any of the other choices (whatever they may have changed to) would be a great way to start your morning. Wash it down with a coffee of your choice.
