This is a great casual spot. They have solid salads and sandwiches and serve breakfast all day. The shop is nice and has a lot of rare european products! I had the Mediterranean omelette and it was awesome. Everything they make is high quality. Love the baguettes! Ambiance is ok... pretty simple. Staff friendly. There isnt a ton of seating and it tends to be busy (lunch and weekends) so go during off times if you can. read more

I wake up every Saturday morning wanting Shoops! Their banana pancakes are the best I've ever had. The third time here they were a little raw in the middle so we sent them back , although I wanted to eat the crisp edges still! They fixed the problem and they were amazing as always! After living in Sweden I've finally found where I can buy my Kex bars! The little market is a gold mine! read more

I just loved this place. I did not have the bacon pancakes, but saw them go by and they looked every bit as good as they sound. Next time maybe. We had a good solid breakfast with great service. I had an omelet with turkey, red peppers, avocado and cheese. Light and perfectly cooked. The fruit was fresh and well balanced. Toast was...well toast. On my way out, I stopped by the market section and grabbed some Glogg (a Norwegian mull drink) that we had Saturday and that was great. I could spend all day just at the market and meat counter. Service again was the high point and that alone will keep me coming back. read more

Food is average. Service outside was good but in the store the lady assumed my children were "crushing" chocolates, told her so twice and kept following us around the entire time. Very awkward. Will not dine or shop there again. read more

Was initially impressed because this restaurant sat us right away and we got the impression that this would be a quick in and out one of place. My boyfriend and I sat after waiting about 5 minutes for a table, and were given water right away. We put in our order right away as well. Our waitress was really friendly, but seemed a bit overloaded with work since she was the only waitress We waited about 45 minutes until we saw our waitress again to refill our water. We didn't get our breakfast wraps for an hour. The food was really good but I'm not sure it was worth the wait. read more

Had a great experience here with a smoked salmon wrap but their smoked salmon runs out quickly. Also one of our guests found it a bit weird when the tall old gentlemen who is probably the owner punched her on the arm after asking "everything good here?" I guess she didn't respond since he asked the entire Group of 8 and then proceeded to punch her arm as if checking with her as well. Would go back since some dishes were good and servers were pleasant. read more

I never purchased anything from their market, but I always end up here for brunch after biking around santa monica / venice on weekends. Probably because the Urth Cafe is always crowded with visitors and Shoop is a local more peaceful option. I like their chopped salad and chicken pesto sandwich, but not a fan of their pancakes it's heavy & soggy. You can't go wrong with other breakfast options & sandwiches. read more

We only had brunch here. Food is amazingly good and quite finely crafted, which is a surprise for this little place. You can get a lot of German goodies here, and definitely a ton of Haribo candies. read more

Just an all around solid spot. I recently got on their breakfast sandwiches which are solid (though I prefer to have it on sourdough instead because the normal bread to egg/bacon ratio is sometimes too high). Their pancakes are always on point. Haven't had their coffee but I'm a stage 10 coffee snob and if I can't drink it black it's not good coffee... and I'm pretty sure I've never had drip coffee (vs French press) at a breakfast spot that's drinkable without sugar and cream. There is not a Stage 11. read more

I went here for the first time today, and I'm already looking forward to going back. There are just too many mouth-watering items on the menu to choose from, and for Santa Monica, it's hard to beat the prices! The cafe is small (probably only enough seating for 25 people tops), but my boyfriend and I were seated right away on a Sunday morning. The Body Wrap I had was tasty and the banana pancakes I shared were out-of-this-world! I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh all the ingredients were. The latte I had was just average, but I'll give this place a pass on that; if I wanted spectacular lattes there are several coffee shops nearby I can go to. If you have the time, or are just waiting for a table, I suggest checking out all the candy and other European items they have in their store. It's a fun way to waste a few minutes. read more

Sometimes it can get crowded and the wait can be long. Other times you can walk right in. The service is good once you are seated. The wait staff is always refilling drinks and coffee. The pancakes are my favorite, and their bacon is so bomb! I've also tried the salmon scramble which is great. This is my favorite brunch place so far in Santa Monica. read more

Shoop's - Blueberry pancakes and salmon scramble. Yum!!!! - Delis Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Best European deli around. We can get northern European products that aren't found anywhere in LA. Cheese, Kaviar, sausages, sauces, grave lox and specialty products... The staff is so friendly and my favorite meal is their Caesar salad!! Pancakes are amazing too. read more

LOVE AND MISS THE SHOOP'S! I used to live just 1 block away from this location. Prices are a bit high, but this place is delish. The german potato salad is every bit as good as my grandma used to make. I miss the great butcher, the wonderful little german market, the bread, and really nice neighborhoodie treatment I always received. For breakfast, it's not an 'experience' like other places nearby, but always good and fresh. Also, you are likely not going to have to wait 20-45 mins for a table! If you are in the area and are headed to the beach, come in to get a sandwich or snacks to take with you...they do it right here at Shoop's! read more

Love this place. I had jalapeño sausage. It's not very spicy, but perfect. My son is 7 years old, he tried it and love it. I think it's not on the menu yet. If you want to try, try to ask the waiter. read more

Absolutely amazing! Breakfast was delicious and fresh! So many options to satisfy my family's varying tastebuds. They also carry a variety of specialty meats that were to die for. The pancakes were just like my grandmothers. Everyone left content. And most of all the owners were super friendly and welcoming! Checked on us to make sure everything was to our expectations. Definitely a must when in Santa Monica! read more

They have this amazing juicy smoked salmon chunks - delish! They make it there. Whole foods sells $20 a package - you get there for $7

Great pancakes, never been disappointed throughout the years. The smoked salmon is not what you would expect in LA, it's not lox, but still great. read more

Maybe some of the beat pancakes I've tried. However I'm docking a star for number one not having REAL maple syrup. Number two not serving pancakes during the week past 11:30. Their main asset is the pancakes so it's just illogic they won't serve their best item all day long. I had to take my pancakes home so I could lather them up with real Maine maple syrup. I can't bring myself to eat imitation maple syrup that's full of chemicals and corn syrup. Yuck ! So sad they can't provide the real thing. I would gladly pay more money for it and I'm sure the majority of the health conscious neighbors in Santa Monica would too. read more

Shoop's - 2 bacon pancakes and 2 egg scrambled with cheddar cheese and onion - Delis Near Me - Santa Monica, California

WHOA! My co-worker would not stop raving about this place and their salmon. While his taste in food doesn't exactly match mine, I couldn't agree more. I ordered the Salmon BLT Sandwich yesterday and loved it. The tastes go perfectly together...you get a little bit of savory, sweet, with fresh veggies and a perfectly toasted baguette. For $13 they load that sandwich with salmon and bacon so that every bite has a perfect ratio of meat and veggies. I had to get the sandwich again today for lunch after thinking about it for the last 24 hours. read more

Shoop's - Salmon BLT Sandwich. SOOOO GOOD!! - Delis Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I love Shoop´s. The service is always great and the food is delicious. So far I´ve tried the avocado toast, the Caesar salad, and the Ranger (sandwich). In the back of the restaurant there is a small German supermarket with authentic German/Austrian/Swiss food. Especially the Swiss chocolate is amazing! read more

The food was so delicious I love how crusty and soft there pancakes are! I also got scrambled eggs with a side of smoke Salomon will definitely be coming back here again read more

It's all true! Every good word is true about this place. We had Blueberry pancakes, actual grilled bread for toast, the breakfast potatoes, and the best Mediterranean omelet! dammit it was good!! All of it! The owner was great and the shop full of the coolest candies and specialty foods imported from Europe. We took home so much fun stuff! Thanks for the amazing breakfast guys, you're killing it! read more

The best buttermilk pancakes I've had in a long time! The service was spectacular- my food was out in record time. Loved the cappuccino as well. 10/10 would return! read more

We were looking for a vegan/ veggie breakfast place, and we meant to go to Urth Cafe across the street but we didn't like their breakfast menu so we crossed the street to Uber to Venice, but only wondered in here to buy a water essentially, and we looked at the menu and decided to try the place out. The food is incredible! Easily the best pancakes I've ever had. Ask them to mix banana, blueberries and pineapple all together! Wow! Seriously, I wish I lived in Santa Monica so I could come more often. They also have many vegan options! And the service is excellent. The owner was really funny Definitely go there if you get the chance. read more

Me and my brother come here once a week for breakfast. I love getting there Pastrami Pancake which is amazing.The staff is warm, friendly and awesome. It is my go to spot for pancakes. read more

Shoop's - Pastrami Pancake. - Delis Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I love this place! There is nothing fancy about the interior. It's decorated sparcly; the tables and chairs are a little beat up and the mugs and plates are diner style thick white cermamic. Having breakfast here feels very comfortable and pleasantly unpretentious. The menu is really different and interesting. They have your normal breakfast staples but they also have lots of vegetarian options as well as some fish dishes. I ordered the savory pancake which is stuffed with tomatoes ad basil then smothered in two fried eggs and pesto sauce. It was completely wonderful. Beautiful to look at, scrumptious to eat. My breafast buddy got the salmon scramble which he loved. (I personally don't like fish for breakfast) The toast that came with his meal was huge and tasted wonderful. The coffee was decent and all you can drink. The service was fast and friendly. The prices were reasonable especially considering the quality of the food. Prefect breakfast spot!! Could not be happier. read more

Great breakfasty place. They have a lot of good breakfast goods (pancakes, eggs, etc), but also have deli style sandwiches. Everything I've had there has been good. Had the banana pancakes last week, and they were awesome! Also had the hot dog (good) and the smoked salmon (also good). Family owned, which is always a plus for me. I have a dairy allergy, and they put cream in almost everything. This isn't their fault -- I'm just warning everyone like me: ask for things without the creamy sauce or you may be hitting the lactaid pretty hard! read more

I wanted to love this place I really did but the food is not good. The people are lovely, so welcoming and friendly. It feels like a real mom and shop place. Great place to get last minute things you may need like snacks and such, but the cafe didn't impress me. I ordered the blueberry pancakes which tasted like they were drenched in oil, I ate one and just couldn't bare anymore. I am thankful for the experience, but if you're hungry go elsewhere. read more

Great service, food, and market finds! Our salmon Caesar wrap and soup were delicious!

We travelled all the way from Wisconsin and was introduced to this fabulous establishment. We were there early, had a HUGE breakfast (lots of food for the portion) and got some AMAZING Smoked Salmon!! (sorry to miss the "salmon chunks") Matt, your food is the bomb! Beatrice, your smile and service is tops! Thank you for providing this world with good stuff! We will be back... Bob and Annette read more

We are visiting from SF and we wish this place was closer. I would be here all the time! Great service! Amazing food! We ordered the bacon pancakes, salmon sandwich and Danny's wrap. Loved all of them, but I've never had a better pancake! B was and amazing server! And the owner welcomed us and took great care of our family. read more

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! This is my day to day go to spot for brunch, family style very kind sweet hostesses and low noise crowd, open kitchen, rumor says that the owner used to be Muhammad Ali's personal chef, everything so far that I tried here are the best I had, with big portion too: pancakes, sandwiches, scrambles... whoa!!! Nothing like Norms and I'd say better than Urth Caffe. I'm during the transition to vegetarian so am very glad that they have a good selection of vegan food too. :) read more

Shoop's - Pineapple pancakes! Sensational!!! - Delis Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Go here for Breakfast! The pancakes are next level. I'm partial to the Banana stacks. My five-star is based on breakfast experience. You can also do shopping here for unique European candies and chocolates. Any Negatives? When it's busy the food can take a while. The coffee could be a little better but compared to most breakfast/cafe/diner spots it's not too bad. read more

Street parking is pretty available in the area. I came here with a co-worker for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. We decided to go for a sit-down experience. The seating is scant, so I wouldn't come with a large group unless you wanted to take food out and eat at the beach. We both ordered from the breakfast menu (they have an all-day breakfast menu!!!). I got the breakfast sandwich ($10 inc. tax and tip) and my friend got a protein wrap. The bacon in my sandwich was amazing. We both thought it was pretty decent for the experience and price. Not sure if this would be my first choice for breakfast or lunch though. Expect friendly service though and a quirky vibe. read more

Great place to go! Their service is quick, friendly, and the food is pretty delicious. I've had their salmon Caesar salad and their caesar wrap as well as their BLT, and the BBQ sandwich. My favorite was the salad, lease fav. was the bbq sandwich. The shop. or deli, is very clean and there is always someone at the register who is ready to help you. They also take phone-in orders. Although the price can sometimes be steep, what can you do? It is Santa Monica and the quality is unquestionable at Shoops. Pay the money, eat the goods, be happy. Shoops! read more

Shoop's is a little piece of Europe right on Main Street. My wife and I love this place for breakfast and it's such a welcome relief from the weekend chaos you'll find at the other breakfast joints on Main. The best part about Shoop's is that the dining area is small - so it never gets too loud or feels too crowded. My go-to breakfast is the Ham Pesto Scramble, but everything that the friendly waitresses bring out looks amazing. In the rare instance there's a line, you can kill time by checking out the market that's filled with all kinds of European goodies. read more

Absolutely the best breakfast - smoked salmon pancakes. I wish I could eat it every day. Fast service and very friendly staff.

Great mol and pop spot in Santa Monica! You have to try the banana pancakes! They are super delicious!!! Yum

Dropped into this quaint European market for brunch and it did not disappoint. Parking is available but shared between several shops so it might be difficult. Other options include metered parking and nearby parking lots on Main Street. The restaurant was pretty crowd when we arrived, we waited for approximately 30 minutes before being seated. There's grocery store inside, I purchased a milk chocolate bar while we waited. They also sell breads, meats, spices, cleaning products, hygiene products, etc. The seating is pretty tight. The restaurant was clean. Only one bathroom for both genders. I had the Jasmine Tea and buttermilk pancakes with bacon... delicious. My friend had the omelette. We both enjoyed it. I highly recommend this place and I will be back! read more
