    Deli
    Gia Z.

    Great breakfast! Good size portions, reasonably priced, great service and it was nice eating outside. Great music also. Good family place to eat. Most seating for large parties will be outside. Inside the deli market it is mostly seating for 2. Dogs friendly place.

    We love Shoops. It's been a little tradition to go every so often and get the best pancakes and stroll around the area .Service has always been great even when there is some waiting time they do a good job to get everyone in. I miss it already can't wait to go back . It's very doggie friendly they get pups their water cup too . And such a nice family environment too never fails that I end up talking to someone when I visit .

    One of the most consistently good breakfast spots in Santa Monica. Don't think of it as a traditional deli, it is more so a breakfast and lunch spot that has a very large and diverse menu. One thing I love about this place is they have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating so whatever you're in the mood for you'll be able to get. Parking is also extremely easy, there is a giant pay lot directly behind the restaurant or you can look for metered street parking. Our waiter was extremely polite and everything that we ordered came out shortly after ordering it. Inside is pretty large, larger than it looks from the street, so they can host many different sized groups. For this visit, I ordered one of their most famous dishes, which is the Pancakes with Bacon inside it. As you would guess they were very good and filling, and I would order them again. They have a lot of great options on the menu so it's easy to get something new each time. I would suggest if you are in the area.

    Salmon sand which, pancakes, Roast Beef And Swiss
    Jennie P.

    Came here on a Sunday and there wasn't direction on where to sit or meet host. We were seated after being asked if we would like to order. The roast beef sandwich was really tasty, coleslaw was delicious and Russian dressing complimented the sand which well. Potato salad was delicious, it had bacon and you really tasted the vinegar but overall it was a nice balance. The service wasn't the best, we had to wait to ask for water and we ended up just grabbing our own Togo boxes and went inside to pay. Good food but wish we had better service.

    BBQ Chicken Sandwich and German  Potato Salad
    Karen L.

    It's not often that I'd give a 5 star review for a sandwich but Shoop's European Deli on Main Street in Santa Monica filled my tummy with goodness today. After a visit to Dog Ppl, my friend and I and our two pooches grabbed some lunch at Shoop's. There are many German options, as well as other European treats to choose from. The chocolates, cheeses, and other goods make this a friendly, well-stocked fun place to eat. We shared two sandwiches. The Tuna Melt was delicious and served with yummy coleslaw. We also loved the BBQ Chicken sandwich with grilled chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese, avocado, greens, tomatoes, mayo, and BBQ sauce on ciabatta with the best German Potato Salad that I've ever tasted! I can't wait to back to Shoop to experience breakfast too.

    Savory Tomato Basil Pancake

    We went for brunch and all got pancakes. It was a very welcoming space. We sat on the patio with our dog and waiter brought out a nice little chicken treat for her! They had savory pancakes on the menu and I knew I would be missing out if I didn't try them. I got the tomato basil savory pancake and it was so good! Pesto was light and the egg was cooked perfectly.

    Looking for somewhere to eat in Santa Monica that wouldn't break the bank I found this, but it was quite the walk. We decided to go for it cause who doesn't love a good deli. Stop in the way for coffee and continued on a long walk. It was well worth it There is a line for takeout. Or you could sit down and there was table service. We each got a sandwich and shared half half. The food was fresh delicious and amazing. I was pleasantly surprised by the soft flavorful bread. This is not gourmet or fancy just a solid, good deli sandwich Bravo

    We got here around 12:30PM on a Sunday and they ran out of the smoked salmon :( definitely come here early to get it because it has to be good. We got the bacon pancakes, gravlax and the bacon cheddar scramble. Food was solid all around

    Omelet
    Calena A.

    Many restaurants boast European style food but Shoop's really brings fusion to LA. Through their smoked salmon, it's a unique cuisine beyond lox bagels. The salmon pancake is a delicious slightly sweet and savory, with the dill sauce on the side. The salmon baguette and the ham omelette are brunch staples they have not failed. The outdoor seating is very relaxed, we got seated immediately and got to enjoy weekend sun. In addition, the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, they are so warm to welcome you and answers questions about the menu. Lastly, the interior of the place is super cool because it's also a pantry store for all sorts of dried and imported goods.

    Outdoor seating

    Very good very consistent and one of the few outdoor seating diners in Santa Monica. They have a German market inside and a good selection of German beers

    Just such lovely sandwiches honestly! You can't go wrong with anything on their menu as every sandwich is fresh and flavorful. My friend and I ordered ahead through a call and we were able to pick up our sandwiches within 20 minutes. It was super easy to do so and our sandwiches were fantastic to-go options. Couldn't be happier with the staff members we interacted with. Everyone was so kind and attentive. I had the chicken pesto sandwich and it was perfect. The pesto was fresh, the chicken was perfectly grilled, and the baguette was just every bread lovers dream. Their portions are definitely hearty, so depending on the day I could eat the sandwich in one go or get two meals out of it.

    This place was a surprising find. The white sausage with kraut was LEKKER! Nice outdoor dining & attentive service top off the experience.

    The food was decently good . We got the pastrami Swiss sandwich w/ potato salad , the chicken pesto sandwich & the 3 stack of buttermilk pancakes The menu was like a different language to me . A bit over priced . The hot cakes were a bit fluffier than anticipated, but was still really good , pastrami sandwich & pesto sandwich were both delicious . The service was excellent. Everyone was very friendly & kind . The dine in area is kind of small . The outdoor patio is a lot bigger . Parking is on the street . Paid 60 for the plates with a glass of OJ , The OJ was tasty , freshly squeezed . Nice little hidden gem . .

We were lucky enough to find a metered street spot directly in front of the restaurant and did not have to wait long at all for our Saturday morning brunch for a table of two. Our server was also very polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. I started off with the Iced Maple Latte and thought it was really nice. It was a really sweet treat and I enjoyed it. For my breakfast, I chose the Eggs Benedict with the Sujuk sausage and added avocado and croissant. It was one of the best combos I've had in a long time and I am already eager to go back again to get it. I would highly recommend to everyone and would happily say this is one of my favorite breakfast options around.

We agreed to outside patio seating at tall seats which is more than fine. but we were sat at a shared table with a family which is fine when you have context that you are doing so, but i spent the beginning of the morning listening to two different children play of their phones blasting the sound. additionally both the seats we were in were directly in the sun which for me is fine but my bf burns very easily. but okay fine, it is what it is. We politely waited until the table next to us emptied, and then told the waitress we would like to move because the sun. She said we would need to wait and she would need to check. And then came back and told us they were too busy. We watched the seat we wanted to sit in be empty until we asked for boxes for our food. We watched another table stay empty until we left. The waitress never introduced herself either. Additionally, no one checked up on us during the entire meal. Usually any sit down restaurant would ask how your meal is. No one did. we weren't even given silverware when our meals arrived. we had to go get them ourselves. We had to ask for boxes after sitting and waiting for anyone to check in. We separately had to call out to the oblivious waitress to even pay, as she was standing out there just looking around. The food was great, like i wish we would have had cash to tip the cooks themselves bc the food was really good. But Ive attached photos of the food (great!) and photos of the many empty tables that made them sooo busy they cldnt accommodate the paying costumers that already ordered. my boyfriend and I have both worked in the service industry before. But i would just say that they had horrible service which can ruin a perfectly good meal. I hope if the owner is the one I met at the door, he considers getting new waitresses .

A little on the watery side. Chicken bites came out in about 15 minutes. The coating had a very satisfying crunch, very saucy, but fell off the chicken easily and was a bit salty. This is a messy dish for sure. You will get your hands dirty! Chorizo Benedict came out about 30 minutes after order. Not great honestly. Portion size was generous. The eggs were poached decently, still runny, but the chorizo itself was bland and rather dry. The potatoes were room temperature. The bread a bit too chewy. Not AT ALL spicy. Super light on the pico de gallo. The service was rather slow for not being very busy. They didn't appear to be understaffed either. The location itself is cozy and not too loud, which is nice! Short walk from down town. The staff was kind, but boy were they slow. From being seated to paying for my meal was well over an hour! Automatic 2.5% "service fee" total was $46.50 before tip. I don't think I'll be returning unfortunately. The search for a good Benedict in LA area continues!
