listen - it is a café at the bottom of a mid size office building. there are likely thousands of cafés just like this across the city. But don't let the unusual location dissuade you - the Garden Café is an oasis of quality food at very reasonable prices. where else in this town can you get a large coffee and a sandwich for less than $10? where else can you get a regular size coffee for $2? I've only had the breakfast sandwiches, but I found them extremely delicious and satisfactory. to make a long story short - if you seek a respite from the overpriced overrated lunch spots of West LA, look no further than the Garden Cafe.

I love it here. They have a great menu and great selection of food. The prices are very reasonable too. They serve breakfast and lunch all day. They have smoothies, different coffees and lattes, soda machine, bottled and canned drinks, snacks.
The service was fast, the food was great. The man is very nice and accommodating to the customers. He runs the food out to each customer personally. Very great service, food and prices here.
It's located inside the big, tall office building on the corner. There's free street parking and metered parking outside.

Garden Cafe in downtown Santa Monica is a quaint little cafe hidden away inside a huge plaza. The charm it has is matched by the incredibly friendly service they provide. It can a be a bit tricky to track down, but once you enter inside the plaza building it'll be right on your right hand side. I got the Hawaiian burger and it was out of this world good. I've never had one before but If I'm ever in Santa Monica again I will return for that delicious burger. My wife got the BBQ chicken panini which was also incredibly delicious. Major compliments to the chef. We finished the meal off with a fruit salad which tasted fresh and cleansed our pallets nicely. The restaurant is clean and the staff is charming and friendly. 11/10 will def come back here again!

This place is inside this corporate looking building. The owner was so sweet and attentive. I ordered the bbq chicken panini. I think they could've added a bit more of the bbq sauce beecause it was a bit dry. My husband got the hawaiian burger. It was delicious, definitely recommend it. I never thought of pineapple on a burger but it works!
This place is awesome. Very affordable, decent food, and good service.

I have to say that I enjoyed every single bite of the meal in this restaurant. I had a delicious meal, with a couple of beers. Considering the quality, the price is reasonable. Ideal for those who want a romantic night out. There was also plenty of room for bigger groups. Try to visit this place now!
