    Blue Daisy in Santa Monica looks the part. The location on Broadway is charming, the decor is cute and well done, and the outdoor seating with fringed umbrellas gives it a breezy California vibe that draws you in. Unfortunately the experience didn't live up to the setting. We ordered the Breakfast Burrito ($20) and the Breakfast Combo ($20) and waited about 30 minutes for the food to arrive. The burrito came with eggs, bacon, meatsauce, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, mix cheese and a side of salsa and fries. The combo came with eggs, bacon, French toast and fruit -- and honestly the bacon was the highlight of the dish, which says a lot about how the rest of it landed. Both plates were average at best -- lacking flavor and nothing you couldn't find at any neighborhood breakfast spot for considerably less money. The Breakfast Combo was on the smaller side for the price, and the seasoned fries, while fine, were nothing special. Then came the situation that truly ruined the experience. Our food had literally just been set down in front of us when our waitress informed us she was leaving her shift and that we needed to pay immediately -- citing "company policy." We had just received our food. We hadn't even taken a bite. We complied, paid, and she left. The whole interaction felt deeply uncomfortable -- as if she assumed we weren't going to pay, which was both insulting and embarrassing. We flagged down the manager, who was standing just six feet away, and explained what had happened. To his credit he tried to rectify the situation, but by that point the damage was done. We were embarrassed, uncomfortable, and just wanted to leave. What should have been a relaxed breakfast in a beautiful setting turned into something none of us wanted to linger over. At $20 per plate in Santa Monica you expect bold flavors, generous portions, and service that makes you feel welcome. Blue Daisy delivered none of the three. Pretty spot, deeply disappointing experience.

    This neighborhood brunch place in Santa Monica serves good food with fresh flavors that make the visit worthwhile. Service is only ok, definitely slow, so it's best when you're not in a hurry. With both the relaxed coastal vibe and solid dishes, it's an easy choice for a laid‑back brunch.

    The service was really slow. It took almost 15-20 minutes just to get our coffees, and don't even get me started on how long we had to wait for our food! The breakfast itself was good, though, and we enjoyed the food once it finally arrived. Overall, it was nice to try once, but definitely not a place I'd go back to.

    Napa Scramble
    Payton H.

    Blue daisy exemplifies an aesthetic, overpriced, and mediocre at best brunch experience. I came on a Sunday around 12 and was seated right away. I was seated outside with a view of a busy road intersection, which made for nice people watching. The menu didn't have any stand-out dishes that you couldn't find at any other brunch place and there were barely any savory vegetarian options. I went with the Napa scramble. The scramble itself was very heavy on the spinach and light on the sun-dried tomatoes, which made for a not great texture and duller flavor. I did appreciate the bites with the creamy, tangy goat cheese. The toast was just ok and the strawberry jam it came with was very runny. I did enjoy the fresh greens on the side that were lightly dressed.

    Found this place on yelp and the reviews was great and that helped us find a breakfast place nearby Guerlain Wellness Spa where we have our spa appointment today. From walking in, I could sense a good-positive vibe that this place was legit-good. Customer service was spectacular. Waiter who helped us did a great job serving our table. Their coffee is great...it's not your typical watered-down coffeen it's actually potent and good. They have a great selection of drinks from coffee to lattes and other the types of drinks. My wife ordered lavender latte and she LOVED. Oh, and my coffee was great and loved the lil touch of the small lil cookie that came with my coffee... very thoughtful and going the extra steps to make my coffee experience through the roof-good and it's the lil things in food service that I greatly appreciate and sounds off my customers service bell like how they have it at Home Depot. I would definitely recommend this place and I would definitely come back to try other items like lunch time and pancakes. Love the ambience of the place and the surrounding area is nice and clean...well, it's Santa Monica once of the nicest neighborhoods in Cali...thank God. We both order avacados toast as we wanted something light and filling as we have a couple's message in an hour...perfect choice if message is your next item on your agenda. This place blew my mind. I've had many avacados toast in my life and this is one of my favorite things I like to eat for breakfast and this by far the best one I ever ate besides my homemade avacados toast. Love the break they used to...a lot like a cranberry sorodough that was slight crunchy and soft. Loved the perfect amount of greens that made it so easy to grab and get a nice full bites and still taste the lil freshness from the greens and the feta cheese with the pistachio which I think was brilliant addition and first time ever had pistachios...cause the creamy-nutty-and the flavor of the pistachio took this simple avacado toast to a whole another level with that balsamic vinaigrette tanginess and I believe there was honey too...bunch of different flavors brings a great combination into this delicious bite. And to add that over easy egg on top...man I was in heaven with every bite of this avotoast. Thank you for an amazing breakfast and we would love to come back whenever we're in Santa Monica. Great food, great location, and the service was

    Delicious brunch and very friendly atmosphere!!! I loved all the matcha latte options and the croissant french toast.

    Brunch crepe with bacon
    Kim N.

    Our favorite new brunch spot ! The service is impeccable! The food is delicious and they do not skimp on their portions. They have a huge menu for food and yummy lattes and iced teas. I got the brunch crepe and a matcha latte. It was delicious. Parking is pretty easy with meters all around. The manager Raphael is hands down the best!!

    Mckenna C.

    After trying the Melrose location I wanted to try Santa Monica! The area is super cute and not too hard to find meter parking, even for Sunday brunch. The vibe is really pretty, though some tables are a bit challenging to fit a larger party of 6. There were suuuuper cute outdoor plants in the middle of the tables so it was hard to see and hear the whole party. Thankfully, the staff were so nice and accommodating and let us move to a booth where we could combine tables! The team here were really friendly and food service was very fast - I'd come back just for the excellent service. The menu, however, has a lot of fun options! I ordered a pumpkin spice latte for the spirit of the season and the mango chicken salad, which was so refreshing and paired so well with the avocado and mustard dressing!

    Meatsauce Shakshuka
    Camille F.

    Meh. It's a cute outdoor patio, French vibes. However, you're really just looking out on a busy intersection of cars. We did not do the $29 bottomless mimosa offer, but that's a great deal. Service was ok, it wasn't super busy while we were here. I had the pistachio matcha, which was delicious. The menu left a little bit to be desired. I saw the ricotta berry crepe on Yelp, but they don't have it anymore. Nearly all of the sweet crepe/pancake/french toast items involved banana, which doesn't please everyone in my group. I ended up getting the strawberry and banana nutella crepe, which was exactly as it sounds. Those are the ingredients. It was good, but nothing special. I would come back here in a pinch, but believe there are other brunch options nearby that are more innovative at the same price point.

    This cute little cafe in Santa Monica is nice spot for a little breakfast, coffee or brunch. Offering crepes, eggs, avocado toast, cocktails, and espresso drinks, there are options for everyone. I had the shakshuka, which fell short (lacking Zatar and Mediterranean flavors I was hoping for.) All in all, I would not go back unless I lived in the neighborhood.

    Chicken Shawarma Wrap
    Olivia P.

    Perfectly average. Decent food but everything is over $15. The service is also unreasonably slow. Took me an hour to get my food on a weekday for lunch. Chicken shawarma wrap: 8/10 Chicken was tender and plentiful. I liked the cut up vegetables too. It needed a little something else though because it was kind of dull. Maybe another sauce to make it less dry as well.

    Iced Baklava Latte Cold Foam
    John W.

    This place was a solid brunch, nothing special, I'd say though. The croissant french toast was what you'd expect, very sweet, and very good to be honest. If you have a sweet tooth in the mornings, it's for you! The drink I got was a baklava iced latte, unfortunately the ice had melted all the ice when I got it. So half the drink was warm and the very top had a little ice left. Not what you'd want in a nicer latte. It tasted fine though and the waitress brought me an extra cup of ice to pour it in. The salmon eggs Benedict was solid. The zucchini hashbrowns were actually one of the best things we had lol. It was a side for the eggs Benedict. The matcha was satisfactory. I'm not a matcha guy but my fiancé liked it fine. Not her favorite or anything. The bacon crepe was rather overcooked and dry. Not what you'd want from a crepe. Though it was generously stuffed with eggs bacon and cheese, which all went well together of course. Overall this place is worth trying because of their unique lattes and sides, just maybe not an all out brunch!

    Croissant Bacon Sdw
    Jon S.

    Fantastic service and amazing food. Dog friendly as we sat on the front patio. Joleen was our server and offered great recommendations. Rapheel, the owner and had a kind word for everyone who came in and dinned. Great selection of drinks and coffee. The sourdough toast is fabulous. Can't wait to go back.

We loved that it was empty and open before dinner, most places close in between lunch and dinner. So it was great to see it open to take advantage of their delicious crepes.

We were surprised to learn there had been a change in management, as we have enjoyed dining here many times in the past and have always had positive experiences with both the food and service. This visit was noticeably different. The manager/server who attended to us came across as cold, unfriendly, and rude, which made us feel unwelcome. In addition, the food was very bland and dry, far below the quality we had come to expect from this location. Because we have been loyal customers over the years, this experience was especially disappointing. I am currently waiting to hear back from the owner, as I hope these concerns will be addressed. At this point, we are uncertain whether we will return to this location.

    *Updated review 12 years and 2 kids later*…read more I used to come here over a decade ago when this place was 24 hours or closed extremely late (I can't remember. Probably faded at the time) and we would come in after clubbing or attending rap battles a few stores down at the record shop. Now Crave has turned into my 6 year olds favorite breakfast spot before dropping him off at school (wow have times changed!). It's located a few blocks from his school so we stop in a little after they open and I let him go crazy on the menu and order whatever he wants. Every time time we arrive, the lady who takes our order is so patient with my son as he tries to figure out what he wants and she asked him normal questions about his order and I just get a kick out of their interactions. The place is usually empty and very clean. They are actually still cleaning up a few things when we arrive, while setting up a few things on the patio. We enjoy sitting on their comfy couches in the corner and if it's nice outside, the patio is a great option (although you are on the corner of Van Nuys Blvd and Ventura Blvd intersection during traffic so there is a lot of honking going on). The food is still great and we've ordered a lot of items on the menu. We've had everything from breakfast burritos, French toast, salmon, to fish tacos, and yogurt parfaits. We honestly haven't had a bad meal yet. They also make smoothies which I haven't had the chance to try yet and it seems like they can honestly make anything you ask them for. They have an assortment of pastries, cookies, and cakes and they have a wide variety of drinks such as smoothies, Italian sodas, milkshakes, boba coffee and tea. Don't even get me started on their lunch options. This is a great place to come to if you have come with a small or large group of people and you need a variety of options to please everyone. This is still a 5 Afro establishment to me, and we will keep coming back to try more food and drinks. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros
