Crema's Take

Mama's Kiss CAFE is a charming Santa Monica spot that doubles as both a serious coffee destination and a full-service bistro, with a genuinely talented kitchen turning out creative breakfast and lunch options like their celebrated Tuscan Toast and pesto-laden vegetable sandwiches. The welcoming outdoor patio and reliable wifi make it perfect for lingering over an excellent espresso drink, though consistency with special requests seems to vary depending on who's behind the bar. It's the kind of neighborhood gem where the owner's personality shines through and the food quality matches the coffee—just come with patience and grace on busier mornings.

Had a delicious vegan lover vegetable sandwich with pesto sauce on a ciabatta roll. Highly recommend.

The Tuscan Toast was so delicious! Great coffee too. Cute setting with outdoor seating. Great spot for breakfast or lunch and they have good internet too.

Update: Went by here to get another oat milk latte, but I had an overall bad experience. The barista was on the phone, started using normal milk after I asked for oat milk. Felt like an annoyance and just ended up stopping them to walk out with an espresso but charged me for an americano. Definitely want the business to succeed so I hope next time it’s better. 6 months ago: Stopped by to get an oat milk cappuccino. Really prompt service and great tasting coffee. Looks like a good place to relax as well. Will definitely be coming again.

Best coffee shop and bistro in Santa Monica. Amazing staff and cool owner. The coffee is fantastic and there are amazing food options, just take a look at all of the photos. I am definitely going to start being a regular here :-) it’s just one block away from the Santa Monica Tesla supercharger.

Delicious food and excellent service! The menu choices are creative with options for all dietary restrictions. Coffee was great, and sitting outside on the patio was lovely. The restaurant is super clean and the food was made to order with noticeably fresh ingredients.
