Crema's Take
“This charming Santa Monica independent café has earned serious loyalty for its exceptional brunch spread, particularly the standout zucchini hash and Turkish breakfast options made with visibly fresh ingredients. Beyond the food, what keeps people returning is the genuinely warm staff and thoughtfully designed space—featuring a cozy indoor setup and shaded patio with bossa nova playing softly—that makes you feel like you've discovered a local gem rather than just grabbed coffee. Fair warning: the popularity is real and street parking can be tight, but regulars say the quality and hospitality make it absolutely worth the hunt.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

One of the more memorable brunch’s we had visiting LA. Would recommend the Turkish breakfast for a well rounded breakfast. Street parking only. Does get pretty busy!
