    Ordered take out on the way to Day of the Dog event on Main Street Smoked salmon on a bagel with side salad was delicious! The dressing on the salad was tasty and sweet. Everything was delicious! Husband ordered the burrito Kurito. Loved the spicy kick to it! Service was excellent and pickup was quick! Would definitely return!

    We had an amazing breakfast of The Kings brioche quiche and Poached eggs. The owner was super friendly and the food was fresh organic and very, very tasty.

    Lots of seating outdoors

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved this gem of a casual sidewalk cafe with reasonable prices.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I liked the planter boxes so much that I am going to replicate this look chez moi![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Opted for the poached eggs ($17) that came with two eggs, cheese on bread, tomato, avocado, red onion, pesto sauce, and salad topping. The owner adds a personal touch and provided great service. I dig their brewed coffee too, you can tell it is quality!

    The coffee tasted great and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the set up was lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chicken Panini and egg white sandwich were both a nine out of 10 and tasted delicious and light, not too greasy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was nice with a nice ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Nice neighborhood cafe spot in Santa Monica and a short walk from the beach. Great meeting place for coffee or food with indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the Open Sandwich, which is fresh mozzerella, tomato, avocado and pesto on a baguette. Overall the sandwich was delicious and fresh. If only they had a cafe like this in DTLA.

    Margherita pizza, pretty good.

    Small café with a nice variety on the menu. The food was good and the service was great. The margherita pizza (7/10) was more like a regular cheese pizza; it didn't have the fresh mozzarella, just regular cheese on top. With that said, it was still a tasty pizza. The crust was SUPER thin, like a tortilla, but still managed to be nice and crispy. I highly recommend the fresh lemonade. 9/10 I used my Yelp check-in to get the lemonade instead of the beer/wine which they were offering, and they were happy to accommodate.

    Chris will make you the best matcha ever !! Had mine with almond milk. Delish. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And a super cute space[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Delicious healthy food and amazing service. The owners are kind and hardworking. My boyfriend and I stop by here every time we're in Santa Monica. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the aesthetic and the music they play here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We got off an early morning flight to LA and needed to find a spot to do work for a few hours. Kafe K is the perfect place to chill or knock out a few emails. They have a great coffee and drink selection so I was able to get all my beverages in. I had the omelette with bacon, feta and tomato and it was just the perfect breakfast. Props to the nice outdoor seating and even nicer staff.

    Wow, I'm so glad I discovered Kafe K! There are tons of gluten free options, but beware gf bread is in a shared toaster so if you're celiac like me, it's not recommended. The owner was so nice & accommodating and said he could still do something with bread for me but not toast it; it just wouldn't taste as good because it wouldn't be warm. I decided to go with an omelette, and I asked if he could sub the bread for fruit and he said no problem! I looked to the right and saw GLUTEN FREE MADELEINES. I've been gluten free for 11 years now and have never seen or had one...I almost teared up! It was very yummy and the omelette was yummy too. I sat on the patio which is so cute and I loved people watching on a nice sunny day. Great experience and I'll definitely be coming back!

    Chocolate cheesecake is divine!

    Oh, Kafe K! There are not enough stars in the world for you! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The beautiful friendly owners, the fantastic food, the welcoming atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What else could you want?! Check out Kafé K for the best Santa Monica coffee, food, and vibes!

    The food at Kafe K is so yummy! I couldn't decide what I wanted for brunch so I ordered both the Margherita pizza and the poached eggs with a mimosa :) My husband ordered Capricciosa pizza and the Blackberry Power smoothie and enjoyed them both as well. The couple that runs this place is very sweet as well. Thanks for the complimentary Kombuchas!! The next time we are in Santa Monica for brunch, we'll come by!

The place was jammed packed and the tournament has been a real shot in the arm for the area bars and restaurants. I sat at the bar and ordered the Manhattan Clam Chowder along with a pasta dish with chicken which as fine, but I have had better. The vibe was great because of the soccer and this was the most crowded I have ever seen this place since opening about 5 years ago. Rumors say the place is for sale, and one of the problems is that they constantly are changing the menu. The prices are a little steep, but that is the case everywhere as food prices have exploded and I have noticed couples sharing an entree versus ordering separately. The service is fine but the restaurant by now should have an established and reliable menu. I'll be back and this place caters to an under 30 crowd. RECOMMEND.

    I live in the neighborhood and have always enjoyed coming here, so I was excited to bring family…read morevisiting from out of town. Unfortunately, we had to leave before even sitting down. This also wasn't the first time. On several recent visits, the same customer sits in the corner working on his laptop while allowing his large black-and-brown dog to wander throughout the restaurant instead of keeping it close by. It made both friends and myself uncomfortable enough that we chose to leave each time. As someone who was attacked by a dog as a child, this is especially difficult for me. I actually have a dog of my own, so this isn't about disliking dogs. I completely understand that this is a very dog-friendly neighborhood, and I have no issue with dogs when they're leashed, supervised, and under their owner's control. I hope the restaurant returns to enforcing those expectations so everyone--including guests who may have fears, allergies, or simply prefer not to have dogs roaming around--can enjoy the space again. I've always liked this place and would love to feel comfortable coming back.

Inside | Absolutely beautiful, quite elegant & full of personality! Chocolate Ganache | Cake | I knew that I wanted the chocolate cake the moment I saw it on the menu! It is easily one of the most delicious slices of chocolate cake I've ever had, no joke! The slice was huge, the frosting was thick with fudge, and it was just so chocolatey with every bite! The name of the cake is exactly what it's titled "The Best I've Ever Had!" I also noticed that the cake is in the category of Vegetarian! There was so much flavor! When offered the toppings, I decided on almost all of them, except for the caramel and whipped cream! Hahaha! Wine | As suggested by the Bartender Extraordinaire, my BordeauxWine paired well with the Chocolate Cake! Seating | Cozy & plush! We sat at a table inside, near the bar! Customer Service | Everyone we encountered was friendly with a smile! Also, helpful with the menu, including the drinks! The DJ was friendly as well, and we enjoyed the variety of music he played!

The staff is always very friendly and attentive. The hostess is always on point and making sure everything is up to par and everyone is taken care of - which is highly appreciated.
