Serious EatsAugust 13, 2013Huckleberry is a casual upscale eatery in Santa Monica. Always save room for a dessert from the pastry counter: the seasonally-filled crostatas and fresh fruit tarts never fail to please.
AmateurConciergeAugust 14, 2016Santa Monica's most loved breakfast spot will probably have a long line & a longer wait for ur food to show up. Prepped food is pretty is good but ur better off jus snagging baked goods from the case
Starry KitchenApril 30, 2012Baked goods are phenomenal here, but that Bacon Cheddar Biscuit BAFFLES ME! It's crumbly and dry looking, but when you stick it in your MOUTH it's so good, more moist than you'd expect & SO addictive!
Simple FoodieJuly 6, 2017Braised White Beans & Kale with Eggs, Grain Stone Fruit and Organic Chicken Salad, BLTA, Ratatouille Sandwich, Monkey Bread
Josef SzottenDecember 2, 2016I used to not like this place so much but have changed my mind. The breakfast burrito completely redeemed the place and wow the baked goods are delicious. Thumbs up!
Babette CantonJune 8, 2013Peach custard tarts are amazing. Made with a real, not canned peach half. The pastry is croissant dough that is crispy and the bottom layer breaks off leaving you a butter saturated sheet. So good
Travel + LeisureMarch 19, 2013Perpetually crowded for its maple-bacon biscuits, Valrhona chocolate–dipped doughnuts, and egg sandwiches stuffed with bacon, Gruyère, & tangy aioli. More places to eat like a local tandl.me/12ufz7c
Max KesslerAugust 22, 2014Eggs Sammy is crackalicious. We held off on the other egg sammy, and did the granola instead. Granola was bangin, but it ain't an egg sandwich, les-be-aaaaanest. *pour the homemade hot sauce on it all
Nikunj SyngalOctober 4, 2015If you're the kind of person to Instagram your food, and boast all day about the organic and non-gmo place you ate at, this is the place for you! Also, pre-made food. No modifications entertained.- Babette CantonJune 8, 2013The fried egg sandwich bites you back with the flavor of the aioli and arugula. It's $10.50 and it doesn't look like it, but it's worth it. I'm still eating mine and I want another!
you'll think you want the fried egg sandwich. don't do it. you'll only wish you'd gotten the green eggs and ham. also, maple bacon biscuit, prosciutto gruyere croissant, and whole wheat scone.
The line for their pastries & brunch is often out the door. I would wait in a line twice as long. Favorite bakery in all of LA.
Ariel MichelleJanuary 19, 2015Free non-timed parking in the back by valet. Prepare for a 10-15 min wait on weekends. LOVED the duck hash! Check out the brunch menu it changes weekly!
Tara R.August 20, 2013Delicious breakfast, quick turnaround. Be prepared to wait in a long line. Worth it. That evil counter though, ahh staring at all those goodies waiting to pay when you're starving, so cruel.
Yuna 🇰🇷 ParkFebruary 10, 2014Get the bread pudding no matter what you do. I have brought this on flights before for gifting purposes. It's worth it.
The ArtificialNovember 27, 2017If there was any café that was "so LA", this is it. The bakery and café uses organic and farmer's-market ingredients in all their delicious pastries and dishes.
Eve GriffinSeptember 18, 2014Really good pastries and bakery, the cookies were delicious! I had the Granola with Fresh Fruit & Greek Yoghurt - the portion is huge but this is America!
Sarah LizNovember 26, 2014Perfect cafe style breakfast spot. Baked goods, porridge, coffee, came here 4 days in a row and had something different and tasty every time.
Ahmet UgluMarch 7, 2016This place is amazing! Eat anything, and you won't be sorry, all yummy. (Gren eggs are even better)
Merve AJanuary 16, 2017Breakfast dishes with eggs were creative and delicious. Pastries are awesome. Be prepared to wait in a long line to order breakfast.
NmFebruary 25, 2016For turkey lovers , go for roasted turkey sandwich .. Great service .. Average coffee .. Crowded with no parking .. Recommended for a brunch ..
Justin DeanJanuary 3, 2015Skip the line for the best thing here: the pastries. Get whatever the cornmeal cake is that day, to go. Food is fine, but an egg on some frisée is never worth a wait or these prices.
Christle ArriolaFebruary 14, 2014The pastries, bread, and baked goods are great, as are the sandwiches, like the now-famous fried egg sandwich topped with arugula and a slab of bacon.
Brandie FeuerApril 21, 2013Try to go during the week- not nearly as busy as the weekend. Gluten free lemon pistachio cake was delicious. Salted Carmel Bar & crostata were also faves.
Everything is fabulous. Order as much food as you think you could possibly eat, and then pastries for breakfast the next day. Zoe Nathan, I love you!
Emmy JangAugust 19, 2014The turkey meatball sandwich, the green eggs and ham, pastries! & if the strawberries are in season...the best strawberry shortcake EVER!
Food & WineApril 25, 2011Zoe Nathan & Josh Loeb have amazing pedigrees (she hails from Tartine Bakery, he runs Rustic Canyon Wine Bar and Seasonal Kitchen) and it shows in their excellent artisan breads and incredible sweets.
ashley tevatiaAugust 6, 2014Get ready to stand in line (but so worth it). However, if you're getting coffee and/or pastries, skip the line and go to the express register!
RC ⚾💫🐘August 8, 2011A well-oiled machine -- you wander in and the line is long & the place is packed. However, the line moves fast, a table is always ready before your food, and the staff is pleasant. Delicious!
urbandataFebruary 25, 2011If you like meat, briscuit hash is a must. More like a stew. All the baked goods are freshly-made exceptional, especially the tarts. There's a line but it moves quick. Among LA's top breakfast spots.
Go for the breakfast and stay for the lunch. All the baked goods are good, but the sandwiches are the best!!
Gina HartFebruary 11, 2013Wonderful! Heaven @ the counter with all of the delicious homemade pastries! Food is Farm to Table goodness! Order the fried egg sandwich= Amazing!
Juston PayneFebruary 19, 2014One would be forgiven for wondering how much the English Muffins can possibly vary from day to day.
Ricky SherrillMarch 21, 2016Good for breakfast, great for baked goods. The breakfast burrito & Maple Biscuit is my breakfast goto pick.- Came back and had some awesome poached eggs over grilled veggies.
- Fabio T.March 30, 2018Great pastries and breakfast food!! Haven’t tried lunch yet but it looks really good. Coffee is excellent!!
Monica JainApril 24, 2013Maple bacon biscuit and salted caramel bar... hell yeah. Free parking in the back, get here before 11 if you want to try the breakfast

Sandi BoudreauJune 7, 2012Get here early, they don't accept reservations. Bakery items are amazing. Sandwiches are the best I've ever had. The breads are incredible. Favorite for Santa Monica.
