The vegan breakfast burrito was incredible! We shared it and I regret that. It's so good that you shouldn't have to share. Tons of other vegan options or easily modified options. I'll be back!

Delicious sandwiches on focaccia that was to die for! Definitely recommend both the burrata caprese and the mushroom with beets. Also the cookies, so good!

Uplifters kitchen has been a bright spot along Ocean Park blvd since they opened. Delicious healthy breakfast, brunch and lunch options. I love their various “salads” and the scones are just right- not too heavy or sweet. Espresso is nicely done. Turmeric iced tea delicious. Small indoor space is lovely and there are tables out front as well. Park along Ocean Park if you get lucky or in the neighborhood- it’s worth the effort!

The food at Uplifters is amazing! The owner of the restaurant is a chef and an amazing one at that, and you can feel her touch on everything the restaurant serves. If you want something yummy but feel good and healthy at the same time, this is your spot!Also has the best paintings up in the cafe as decor. I was last there when restaurants were closed for eating in still, but I can't wait to go back!

I love this place. I have never had anything that I didn't like. The sandwiches are simply delicious, the coffee (whole milk latte) is perfect. Could eat there every day!

Highly recommend this new spot in Santa Monica! Food is incredibly fresh and flavourful, calming atmosphere, and friendly staff.

The food at Uplifters is healthy, DELICIOUS, and you can tell every item on the menu is made with love. A great spot to stop for brunch/lunch with outdoor seating and excellent service. As a treat, I definitely recommend the salted chocolate chip pecan cookie, omg sooooooo good! Chef/owner Salima has made it a really special place.

Good vibe, great food. Go here for coffee and amazing gluten free baked goods.

Great food and drinks...and I'm not even vegetarian! I like the lattes and the avocado toast.

I found my new favorite breakfast spot! Phenomenal coffee and delicious breakfast burrito. I'm vegan and they had delicious options!
Every espresso and drip coffee I've had here is consistently superb. The people behind the counter are always lovely. They've improved their outdoor seating, with picnic benches and big umbrellas. The baked goods are superb, with many gluten free options. The almond ginger carrot cake is so moist and tasty and not overly sweet! I've had their breakfast a few times and would give it 4 stars. The breakfast tacos are yum. Quality place. When I walk past Starbucks to go to Uplifters I want to yell at everyone, "Whyyyyy would you go to Starbucks when Uplifters is on the next block?!?!?" :)

So I tried this spot a couple days ago since it's super close to where I live. And, omg, quite possibly the best coffee I have found in LA! Would go for the coffee alone! I did order some food though too -- they were super accommodating of my food allergies (which is rare - I always end up feeling horrible, but they were really nice and helpful about it). The food was incredible! I was actually surprised, because of my food allergy restrictions and because there was no meat (I am somewhat of a carnivore) -- not sure how they managed to make healthy food so delicious, but I will for sure be back soon to try other dishes. Oh, and I got the sriracha quinoa bowl thing, if you want my recommendation!

Such a great place for breakfast on the Westside. Lots of healthy options but the focaccia and baked goods here are just on another level. Lovely little neighborhood spot!
