Huckleberry Bakery & Cafe

This was *seriously* the best hash I’ve had in my life. So flavorful, so good! The sweet yams go perfectly with the delicious, tender brisket. And I actually hate arugula but it was basked in this amazing lemon vinaigrette that somehow went so perfectly with the dish. The pancakes were also amazing - probably worth it to spring for the extra couple bucks for toppings though :) My only complaint is that it’s so damn loud in there - if you’re trying to catch up with someone, this probably isn’t the best place. And since this was our first time it wasn’t immediately obvious if we were supposed to wait for a host or just get in line (no signage that I can recall anyway). But that being said, someone came up to us pretty quickly and told us what to do (get in line and they’ll assign a table to you). Definitely will go again though!

Brought some family here during a touristy outing in Santa Monica and it was a perfect pit-stop!!
The line was kind of long on Saturday brunch but it moved quickly and our food came out pretty fast.

I really liked my brisket hash. We wished the Lox Tartine had some capers but otherwise really good, with fresh ingredients!!
The coffee and fresh squeezed OJ a here was a highlight.

The seating and cafe itself is also very cute and lively. Some of the prepared foods looked really good. Would come back!!

Delivery review - exceeded my expectations for delivery breakfast. Got the breakfast burrito, quiche, biscuits, and huevos rancheros. Everything arrived packed well for the travel to still taste good.

Delicious! Their pastries are worth any wait in line. We were blown away by the cornmeal cake, wow! Coffees are also tasty. Haven’t tried their food yet but dishes look great!

Absolutely fabulous food! We came in for breakfast 20 minutes after they had opened and the place was packed. They had multipl e hot dishes and an assortment of wonderful pastries. Excellent coffee drinks. And, that's just scratching the surface because they had so many more prepared meals, cakes, patisserie and lots of other pieces of deliciousness to explore. I was very impressed.
the service was excellent on the staff was continuously checking whether we wear satisfied. Highly recommended!!

My wife and I live in OC. Every time we make our way to the west side of LA we can’t help but come here. It’s simple. We love the fried egg sandwich. I’m sure their other stuff is bomb too but all we eat is the egg sandwich. That bread is fire!! Parking is a pain, and sometimes it gets pretty hectic inside but we’ve always found a seat! Highly recommend.

The Huckleberry Cafe in Santa Monica has indoor and outdoor seating. We elected the outdoor option. There's a pandemic, after all.

You need to go inside in order to order and pay. Payment in advance is actually convenient since you can just get up and leave at the end of your meal.

Other than that, there's normal table service. Our servers and busses were friendly and efficient.

I had lox and cream cheese. They call it something else. It's on sourdough bread and is topped with pickled onions and grilled cherry tomatoes and capers. It's absolutely delicious. My daughter had a breakfast burrito, and everyone else had the Huckleberry breakfast, eggs, thick cut bacon and home fries.

Everyone enjoyed their meals.
There's free parking in the back, and the place is accessible to the handicapped. I recommend the Huckleberry Cafe.

Kind of chaotic - not sure where the line was and who served what ... but everyone was helpful. And the food was spectacular. And for how busy it was, it was amazing that there was no pressure to move along lol

Oh my goodness this place is amazing. I had a late breakfast here by myself. I had a decent latte and the country breakfast. Everything was very high quality for the price. Great service as well. I will come back for sure.

One thing to note is it might not be great for large groups since the tables are small, best for 2-4 people only.

My go to favorite breakfast spot. Come early if you can, but not too early as they bake and make everything fresh every day so some items may not be available right away. Every time I visit Santa Monica I always have to make a stop here! Everything is fresh. From their English muffins to blueberry corn cake to eggs, it’s superb!

We were so pleased with the great service and our delicious meal and quality ingredients. We especially loved our mocha coffee made by barista Rafael. The best mocha we have had in a long time … the perfect combination of chocolate and espresso and steamed milk. Not to mention the pastries Wow!!!!

Very nice breakfast restaurants with great ingredients from LA’s nearby farms. We have our breakfast before we went to airport in early morning. It’s pretty busy even at 8am, but the food is really impressive. Great Fruity danish and croissant! Highly recommended the country breakfast, the Yukon gold potatoes are really stunning!!! Remember they have free parking slot behind!

Breakfast was absolutely delicious. I had the Huevos Rancheros. The flavors were spectacular. Tried the hot sauce and it was so good, bought a bottle to take home. My wife had the gluten free bakery afterwards and loved it. Staff was fun and friendly.

I stopped into Huckleberry Cafe for their Thursday Huck's Hot Chicken night and had a fantastic experience! The chicken itself was cooked perfectly, juicy & delicious and in my opinion, the best the Westside of LA has to offer! For the level 2 🔥 I ordered, the heat was perfect...hot, but you can still taste the flavors without burning your tounge off. I did sample the hottest 4 level just to taste and it was considerably hotter, not my cup of tea, but if you love really hot...this is the one for you!

The place itself is super clean, very inviting and the staff are awesome! My only complaint is they don't have ranch to dip the hot chicken into....what? This is a mistake and from a Hot Chicken lover that has been eating the stuff from Nashville to LA for years...you need ranch and/or blue cheese to cut the heat. The homemade pickles were great and helped to a point, but this really isn't a viable substitution and I begged them to reconsider...we will see!

Ranch or not, I will be back for this delicious hot chicken even if I have to BYOR (Bring your own ranch)!

Worth the drive! Even a picky teenager loved it. We had the green eggs and ham, country breakfast and dads pancakes. Everything was delicious not a crumb left. Oh and dessert too!

Amazing customer service. Best freshly squeezed orange juice I have ever had. The food is on point and the pastries are the best in the area!

The best breakfast burrito ever!!!
And the rest of the assortment is great too. Love every dish 🤍

Worth the 25min I invested waiting in line! Their pancakes were the (second) BEST in my mind (the first always being the ones in Solvang) They were so fluffy and with the just right flavor - be sure to add blueberries which made them juicy in places and spongy in others! We also tried today's special Corn Bread Pudding with Veggies and we really liked it.

That's not all. Everyone also gets some pastry. I swear that their tart, Danish, and scone were great. The subtle balance of sweetness and butteriness came from natural ingredients. They left me with joy only - no burdens.

Real food. Real ingredients. Nice selection of baked goods. Friendly staff. Very efficient kitchen. Visited while I was in town from Louisiana. This will be my breakfast spot in Santa Monica

This place was very good. My fried egg sandwich came out so delicious! Everything tasted so fresh and so flavorful. The bacon was good, crispy, and full of flavor!! You can tell the bread was made fresh as well!!! Definitely a place to go again!!!
