Anytime I’m in Santa Monica I make a point to stop here. The food is CONSISTENTLY SO good and amazing quality. Some places are really good every now and then but this place is really so reliable —you’ll know what you get every single time. The staff is wonderful and I love the all day breakfast. What a gem. I hope it never changes.

Firstly I want to start off by saying the staff were all lovely. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and helpful from ordering to the bussing of the table, etc. Secondly, I have to say that I used to come here often for breakfast/lunch and always really enjoyed the food. It's been quite a while since I've eaten here but I stopped by today for lunch and a treat. I ordered the chopped salad and unfortunately it was super soaked in dressing to the point where the was a pool of orange tinged liquid at the bottom of the bowl. Not sure what happened here but it almost seemed like the bottle of peppers was just haphazardly poured into the salad with its liquid. Strange stuff and I was starving so I ate the top portion and wasn't in the mood to have an honest convo with the staff about it, so that's on me. I could live with that without complaining, but we also ordered pumpkin pie bc 'tis the season, and the pie was way off, as if whoever made the filling read the recipe incorrectly and added way too much of a spice I can't even identify. 3 hours later and I still have the lingering taste of the rancid spice. My dining partner and I both agreed the flavor was legit sickening. Anyhow, I don't complain about food often but it was such a bummer to come back to a beloved place only to have everything other than the service fall way below expectations. Disappointingly, I don't see myself returning.

The pastries are delicious here! They're just the right size for a small breakfast paired with their coffee, or for a sweet treat in the middle of the day. I got the pumpkin pie slice and a kouign amann tart. The pie crust was super crispy on the edges and had great pumpkin flavor without being overly sweet. The whipped cream on top was a bonus and finished off the pie so well. Kouign amann was sticky and sweet, with a nice peachy surprise in the middle. All the fruit pastries I've tried here are really great.

Huckleberry Bakery and Cafe in Santa Monica has the most delicious food in town . I highly recommend this spot . The atmosphere and interior are beautiful and it has an east coast small sea town vibe like you would find near Martha’s Vineyard … The manager Allen and the owners , and all the people there Sue ,Natalie , Pancho, Serenity , Carmen , Grace , Adam , and everyone else working there are all incredibly nice and culinarily fantastic ……

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 there is parking everywhere

They charge a 4% up charge for health care. This isn’t listed anywhere until you see it on your receipt. I believe that’s deceptive to the customer. I won’t come back.

The food is organic so let’s begin with that! Everything always tastes homemade which is a huge plus around holidays! The catering staff at their main headquarters on Wilshire go out of their way and the delivery service was on time, very courteous and waited until I did an inventory to make sure it was all there! Huckleberry is a def GO! Thank you for making my holiday feast both effortless and delicious!

It was pretty busy when we went but service was pretty fast considering. I ordered the Caesar salad w chicken and my guest ordered a different salad. Portions for both were more than expected. We both enjoyed it and ate it all. Haha. Very delicious 😋 I also had the real draft root beer which I enjoyed as well.

It’s seems like everything is house made and fresh. Staff were friendly and location is cool. It’s expensive but at least you get what you pay for. Will come back and try more of the menu

We had a great experience! My girlfriend has some food sensitivities but there was plenty for her to eat here and the freshness made it feel better on her stomach. We got the quiche, summer burrata salad, and a scone to share along with coffee. As we ate, it felt fresh, light, and the perfect dishes to energize us for our day.

Pros:
- Great place to take a date or someone you want to impress with local food.
- Food tasted fresh, homemade, and full of life. There was plenty of flavor and we had no issues with our food and drinks.
- There was parking behind so commuting was easy.

Cons:
- The items are all over-priced for the portions you get. Nothing absurd, but I was surprised at how much it was in the end. I would love to go back but because of the price, it will be mainly on special occasions or if other places are closed.
- It was quite warm and loud inside. Probably due to the kitchen and how popular it is. There were plenty of seats available but we also came at a non-peak hour. We ended up sitting outside to avoid this though.
