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!

Came by again with a friend and got some food. We split the Let's Not Meat sandwich. It's a veggie…read more& vegan sandwich, made with vegan pesto. 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.

I absolutely love this store and everything about how they do business…read more First, they are the only shop around the area that actually goes ALL out with holiday decorations throughout the year, and it is always beautifully done! It brings so much joy to the street every time I pass it and shows how much pride, care, and passion the people here put into what they do. You can tell they genuinely want to create something special, not just inside the store, but for the whole community around them. That's awesome. Second, the food here is phenomenal and actually priced well. It's refreshing to find a place that serves such high-quality food at prices that still feel decently affordable. Their lunch menu is next level just the photos alone will make you drool, and again great prices considering 2026's economy. It is delicious, satisfying, and honestly a better value than many cafes that charge the same or more for food that is nowhere near as good. The ladies who run the shop are also incredibly friendly, warm, and personable. They are always courteous, fun to talk to, and bring such great energy to the space. Every visit feels welcoming and upbeat and I look forward to coming in to grab a huge pack of smoked salmon for $18 and some fresh Russian bread (toasted with butter!) for a few bucks. Perfect lunch and dinner for this guy haha! I sincerely hope this business continues to thrive for many years to come. They deserve it. THANK YOU SEVEN SEAS!!

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.

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.

But when I called the number, the lady said she can have the order to me in 10 minutes so I agreed. These are best cakes I've tired in a very long time. Perfectly sweetened (not overly sugary), moist, balanced, and decadent. 1000/100. I tried the Charlie and Enzo. I do wish I was able to try the cookies but it was a 30 minute wait for those. Next visit I know to place an order ahead of time.

Valeria's is AWESOME! I was coming to Chile Secos, but it was closed during the Covid-19 slump…read more Valeria's had even more choices of mole pastes, and they were priced lower. 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.

The strawberry matcha was gross--but also the staff didn't seem to really know how to make it? Grainy matcha, and they used the verrrrrrry last remnants (I'm talking squeezing out droplets) of a squeeze strawberry mix. The worst part??? The service. Absolutely terrible service. It was a hot day, and so we asked for ice water with our order. You would have thought we were ASKING FOR GOLD, the way the employees got so huffy and rude!!! After confirming we were Paying Customers, they proceeded to talk under their breath about how they were going to switch to bottled water so "people couldn't get free water" anymore, suuuuuper cool to hear! I didn't think asking for water with a $25 order would be crazy, but they sure went out of there way to make sure I did!!! Weirdos. So yes, I'll never be back here, bad service and bad drinks/donuts, hope it closes!

Even more than the burrito, I liked the Egg & Cheese Sandwich ($12) which seemed simple with just egg, cheese, chives and mayo but goodness!
