Legit in love! I saw this place last month with a friend and was intrigued, we didn't go in. Today…read moreI was doing my monthly Rosie Bunny Bean run, hadn't had my morning kombucha and decided to stop in. I was promptly greeted by Marcy - she's amazing btw! I asked her how things worked and she explained it all. The kefir/kombucha bottles are $4 for 16 oz and they have 3 of each on tap. I asked Marcy about one before realizing everything had a QR code and you can easily pull up the ingredients and descriptions/directions for each item. I'm getting away from plastics and this place scratches me right where I itch! They sell just about anything you can imagine! I was so impressed w the selection! They even have produce and fresh sourdough bread! The day old is 50% off and I'm so mad I was in a pinch and had to buy store bought bread, otherwise I would've tried it today. I can't say enough. Even the music was fire and I was shazaming and jamming. Shower gels, body care, non seed oils, baking mixes, laundry pods and things you see in bulk at like Sprouts, but the quality and sourcing seems to be better. Some items don't need jars and they sell paper bags for .10 each. I did a kombucha/kefir tasting. Marcy brought these steel bowls over. No waste at all! If you drink the POG kefir soda at Erewhon and love it, try it here! It's made w fruit and is noticeably better! And POG there is my fave. Just try it at Re_!!! So when I was checking out I asked Marcy about being more prepared and bringing my own glasses next time. They've thought of everything!!!! There's iPads and scales in the front of the store. They weigh your empty containers and give you a sticker with the tare weight and then subtract it from the weight at the end! Revolutionary! They add 3% for the employees. I should've added more. Marcy was amazing and worth it. I'm honestly not big on tipping everyone for just breathing but if all the employees are like Marcy, they are worth way more than 3%! If you sign up you get 100 points instantly, $1 = 1 pt, and at 200 pts you get $10! It's not hard to spend in places like this but it's beyond worth it. I keep seeing things about the harms of plastic and don't get me started on all the other crap in our food. I foresee this as a new staple in my diet and home. They even have cleaning products! I'm getting my spices here from now on too! I'm a fan and I'll be back! Thank you Marcy and to the owners that had this amazing idea!

We were in the area and decided to check it out! There is street parking in the surrounding…read moreneighborhood btw. There's a bunch of dried foods and goods for the home (think dried shampoos, laundry detergent, soaps), as well as some housewares (soap bottles, etc)! They offer drink options in a refrigerator, as well. For the dried goods, they are in bins and jars. They have a station in the middle of the store for you to pick out the appropriate sized paper bag for you to pack your dried goods. You write the code down in the designated space (and I would also recommend writing a brief description to remind you what you got). Then you place a piece of their tape on the paper bag. Some unique items we got were these lime cactus sticks, sour cream plantain chips (so addictive), hatch chile plantain chips, and a bamboo whisk ($22, no plastic). Service was very friendly. Overall, it's such a cute store for sustainable living!

Music to my ears as I typically can't have pesto due to the cheese (lactose intolerant). The sandwich was really good, flavorful and had lots of healthy ingredients, and I didn't even miss having meat. The bread was really nice and fluffy too. I also like that you can have the option to just get half or get a whole sandwich. Such friendly service here too! And a nice sunny little patio out front to hang out.

tl;dr even if charcuterie boards and boutique home goods aren't your thing, don't miss the…read morenot-so-secret farm-to-table sandwich selection Lady & Larder is no stranger to the spotlight. This tiny Santa Monica wine-and-cheese concept debuted in 2016, and their charcuterie boards earned acclaim from Oprah and The New York Times alike. During the pandemic, Lady & Larder ventured into the sandwich game, and the result was a resounding success. Nowadays, the not-so-secret "Secret Lunch" lineup of gourmet sandwiches is among the best in Los Angeles. The tiny Santa Monica shop shares the block with a Sherwin-Williams and a boxing gym. Cross your fingers for metered street parking on the trafficky block of Pico. Outside, red metal patio furniture is shaded by the overhanging storefront. Natural light runs through multicolored windows to the shop within. The mosaic tiled floor is effortlessly chic. The soaring whitewashed walls are minimally decorated, while shelves and refrigerators are carefully curated with wines, cheeses, tinned fish, and candles. The tablet register is set up on a worn kitchen countertop. Soft, instrumental music immediately feels welcoming. I've visited multiple times for early weekend lunch, and our Toast pre-order was ready upon arrival. We grabbed a table outside, and numerous takeout customers popped in and out during our meal. My favorite was the Disco Only. This elevated turkey club featured an impressive depth of flavor, from the sharp alpine cheese to the rich garlic mayo to the tangy pepperoncini vinegar. The thick-cut Bub and Grandma's sesame bread held up admirably well, and the arugula added a welcome fresh factor. The proteins were plentiful but were outshone by the other components. I also loved the Hot Girl Salami. The sweet-and-hot mustard and crispy baguette accentuated the rich, almost buttery salami. Meanwhile, the Venice Cowgirl was like a cheeseboard on a baguette. The sweet peaches and apricot-habanero jam dominated the subtly rich cheese or thin prosciutto, but the sandwich nonetheless proved to be a unique, summery option worth sharing. Lastly, the Yes, Honey elevated the ham-and-cheese with tangy relish, but the other components felt standard and forgettable. The service was friendly and efficient, and sandwiches ran for $15-20 each. Overall, the food tasted like the Santa Monica Farmer's Market on a premium roll, with sandos ranging from good to excellent. They are worth a dedicated visit if you're in the neighborhood, and I can't wait to work my way through more of Lady & Larder's menu.

Before I start my review, they only take cash check & ebt!!!…read more My daughter & I pulled up this morning for the first time and was greeted with warmth and neighborly friendliness! I love how close this place is too. I decided to ditch the store bought milk in plastic containers & go for glass & have been putting off coming here until I noticed that store bought milk started clumping & smelling weird well withing the "best buy" date and only a couple days after purchasing. I also started noticing clumping by the neck of the plastic jugs and finally had enough. I grabbed my youngest this morning & headed on over. It really is drive up, we parked right in front and hopped out. I should have taken more pictures but I was excited to get to see the selection & the old school milk man truck!!! Thats soo dope. [The only other place I've seen a part of history like that is at Happy Day Preschool because they have(had) a fire truck from the 40s on site.] Anyways. Yeah its a bit more expensive than the cheap plastic container store brand milk, but I got a gallon (2 half gallons) of regular whole milk & a pint of chocolate for right under 20 bucks. Thats still HELLA reasonable. And this was my first time so I was paying for the glass containers too. So you're telling me, no micro plastics, real milk for UNDER 20 bucks? Maaaaaaaaaannnn. Im hella beating myself up for not coming sooner. This milk even smells different. I tossed the rest of this other milk out. From now on we are a Broguiere family. I will be back.

Pick up or delivery ONLY - no actual store location!…read more So I ordered them on DoorDash and if you are a Cookie lover like me, these are a must. These are gourmet cookies very unique very delicious. Very big and amazing. I tried the café salon, which is espresso with dark chocolate, the midnight sesame, the scarlet velvet, which is red velvet with cream cheese, the Verde Zen, which is Matcha with white chocolate chip the violet Verde, which is Matcha and Ube fusion, and the walnut noir, which is dark chocolate chip with walnuts. They were all decadent delicious and amazing my favorites, however, was surprisingly the sesame seed with dark chocolate is outstanding and the Ube is just phenomenal. Those two really stood out to me and the espresso flavor. Dark chocolate chip the café so Lynn was very unique. I have never trade tried something like that before very very good. Outstanding job to this place. I also tried their Dubai chocolate cake the Enzo very good I really like the chocolate cake at the bottom. That was very good too all in all a great cookie store dessert shop in the neighborhood 10 out of 10 would definitely order again thank you so much.

I got 7 lbs of different mole pastes for $6 each. Outstanding! They also have beans, dried chiles, rice, spices and some limited groceries. Friendly staff too! Last night, I fixed a pound of Mole con Ajonjoly Telolopan with a quart of chicken broth and some fresh blue corn tortillas to make enmoladas. Incredibly flavorful - a smidge spicy for my family, but I loved the deep flavor with some heat.

I don't do much cooking, but my friends Michael K. and Gino G. do. I accompanied Mike on a grocery…read moretrip to Grand Central Market when he was home for Thanksgiving. Gino had sent him with a shopping list of Mexican ingredients that are hard to find in Seattle, and Mike found most of them right here, at Valeria's Groceries. Valeria's is a vendor in the thick of the market, where you can buy spices, chilis, beans, moles, and a whole lot more, at what struck me as very reasonable prices. Most of the products were displayed in big bulk cases, clearly labeled for easy browsing. The man working the grocery was friendly, helpful, and efficient. He got Mike what he needed and bagged it up for him right away. I love Mexican food and fantasize about making moles at home now and then, but like, my lunch today was a soup that came out of a pantry bag and a frozen Tupperware of brown rice that my mom gave me in early 2018. If I ever get motivated, though, I know I can find what I need at Valeria's.

He informed us of their most popular items on their menu. During this visit we tried their Banana Pudding Donut, Fresh Strawberry Milk Cream Donut, Roasted Sweet Corn, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Hazelnut Latte and Caramel Latte. All 3 donuts were good and not too sweet. The Banana Pudding Donut was yummy. You can taste the banana that blends in well with the creamy pudding. The Roasted Sweet Corn was unique in taste. It was my favorite. Fresh Strawberry Milk Cream was also delicious. There's a hint of tanginess that balances the sweet taste of the donut. Hazelnut Latte and Caramel Latte went perfectly well with donuts and Chocolate Chip Cookie. Their Chocolate Chip Cookie is plentiful and contained lots of chocolate chips. Cafe Knotted is now added to our go to list for yummy pastries and donuts. We have also informed our social circles to try this place out. Can't wait to come back and try other food items on Cafe Knotted's menu.

I first heard of Knotted from trying their frozen milk cream donut from a Korean grocery store in…read morethe Bay Area. After letting the donut defrost at room temp for a little bit, somehow both the donut and the cream soften to the perfect texture and temperature. It was amazing, so I was excited to try the fresh version. However I was sorely disappointed. The fresh donut was the same texture and fragrant flavor which I liked, but the whipped cream was room temp since it was a hot day outside and the strawberries were thin slivers with barely any strawberry flavor. They should probably keep the donuts in a refrigerator if they are full of whipped cream. I was pretty sad that the fresh ones did not live up to my expectations. Guess I'll stick to the frozen ones from now on, they are cheaper, bigger, and better anyway.
