Huckleberry Bakery & Cafe
1014 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Santa Monica, this independent cafe is beloved for its exceptional pastries—particularly the fruit tarts and kouign amas—that strike the perfect balance between sweetness and freshness, though some find the pricing steep for what you get. Their commitment to sourcing ingredients locally from the Santa Monica Farmers' Market shines through in the quality of their baked goods, even if the savory dishes occasionally lack the flavor punch their fresh components promise. It's a charming spot that excels at what it does best: delicate, carefully crafted pastries paired with good coffee, making it ideal for a refined breakfast or midday treat.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

This is a MUST visit. Pastries were just perfect, sweet but not too much, fresh and creamy. Try the fruit tart if you can. The breakfast was also amazing. We enjoyed every bite. We ordered the breakfast burrito and the bagel. The atmosphere is great, busy but not annoying and…
