Shoop's is a European market and cafe that serve breakfast all day plus brunch and sandwiches, they're located a few blocks from the beach in Santa Monica, there is meter parking in the front but limited, but the rear has a ton of meter parking also you can enter from the rear...OK but to the review. The menu is HUGE not kidding with so many delicious to chooe from,there are about 6 table setting inside and about 15 to 20 outside with umbrella's. Our waitress was very friendly plus helpful taking our order's which was the over size pineapple pancakes, the were cooked inside the fluffy and sweet pancakes that needed no syrup, "mouthgasm" scrambled eggs and trukey sausages, plus the mash yams they had a yummy taste to them, scrambled eggs, potatoes was crispy and very good too, a side order of avacado. We even got the chance to sample some smoked salmon that was definitely two thumbs up. read more

Fantastic service with smiles and a clear desire to please customers. The owner makes you feel at home. The food is delicious and amazing. They serve breakfast all day which is perfect. Their salmon is one of a kind. Highly highly recommended. read more

Great German deli AND place for brunch! This is the place to pick up European bouillon, German mustard, packages of leek soup, Fa soap products (the best), and of course, German beer. Service is warm and friendly. Ambiance is cozy deli. The menu is a cross between classic American diner and European menu items (think muesli pancakes, which were delicious.) The coffee is strong. And there are good options for the vegan in the group. Indoor and outdoor dining is available. Street parking (meter or free during the day one street east.) read more

Looking for an early breakfast as my 2 children and I were hungry after surfing Malibu Surfrider. Walked in from the parking lot out back ($1.25/hour) and were greeted with "good morning looking for a table?" from the gentleman behind the bar! LOVE "genuine" welcoming vibes! Ordered the Patrick, wrapped with pastrami and corned beef+. Super tasty and would definitely order again. My son had the banana pancakes and even my picky eater daughter kept snatching a bite from his plate, letting you know how good they were tasting! My daughter had the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on a ciabatta bun. Excellent food and friendly service. Looking for a tasty meal, give it a try and tell them "Tommy sent me!" read more

The pancakes are very unremarkable, even with the bacon. They served it with fake pancake syrup which made it taste even worse. If they used real maple syrup, it would have been slightly better. The pancakes just tasted very card board-y and dry like they used paper dust for flour. The price is also a major rip off for 3. We also got the smoked salmon salad. That was amazing and super healthy. The smoked salmon is the best I've ever had. Stick to the salmon and order bacon on the side. My fried egg was cooked very well, too, perfect over medium with the edges crispy. Skip the pancakes!! Total blegh. We sat outside with dogs and a lady came out and offered all the dogs chicken from their kitchen. It was a sweet gesture! They are definitely dog friendly. read more

Best breakfast/brunch spot in Santa Monica. Food is amazing and service is impeccable. The owner is very social and charming, staffs are very attentive and friendly. If you want to enjoy your day, start your morning with them. I love the outdoor dining as I can enjoy the early morning sun and fresh air breeze from the beach as it's just a block or two away from Santa Monica Pier. read more

I'm so sad to write this review, because when I lived in Santa Monica years ago, this was my absolute favorite breakfast spot. Unfortunately, the last few visits we have noticed the quality has gone down. My go to hot sandwich is the Ranger, it seems like they double up on the coleslaw and put very little roast beef. My other go to are the pancakes, I ordered three and one of them was burnt on the bottom making it inedible. I feel like this would have never been served in the past, but things change. Sadly I think this is our last time giving them a try. read more

Their Ashley's Wrap is a must try! If you like smoked salmon and like it a bit spicy, I recommend it. You can always ask hot sauce on the side or less in the wrap. The Riviera Hot Sandwich wish grilled Chicken was also great, it was a big sandwich that my mom took the 2nd half home. You can order inside or take it to go! There is indoor limited seating or outside. I was asked to go pay inside after eating outside. Staff is friendly but I think understaffed when I went. Metered parking all around available. read more

What's not to love when it comes to Shoops! This has been my go to breakfast spot when in Santa Monica. Located right off of main st, this European market and cafe whips up some of the best breakfast that'll have you running back! Highly recommend the pancakes. I've tried the blueberry and buttermilk. If you're a fan of fluffy cakes with crisp edges, this is the spot for you! Let's not forget the smoked salmon. My GOD! They gave me a bite sized sample of their freshly made salmon and I immediately ordered two. Check it out if you're in the area! Outdoor and indoor seating, fast service, reasonable prices, and many options on the menu to choose from! read more

We tried Shoop's for the first time today and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We shared the bacon cheddar omelette, which was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and generous in portion. As a surprise, they brought us a complimentary blueberry pancake -- and it was outstanding. Light, fluffy, and packed with blueberries. The service was warm and welcoming, and the whole place has a relaxed, neighborhood feel that makes you want to stay awhile. Everything was fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for a great breakfast in Santa Monica. read more

Decided to try this place out for breakfast. Parking is easy, but you got a pay a meter or the lot. The service was friendly and welcoming. You know it's gotta be good because the cops came in for breakfast. The place is laid back and easy at least from our experience. We enjoyed the food! Pancakes were filling, potatoes and eggs were good and bacon fully cooked. I also enjoyed the coffee read more

Great food! Staff lovely. Prices reasonable. We sat outside. I highly recommend this deli. They do breakfast all day and lunches.

Such a gem in Ocean Park. Master sandwiches and an amazing market full of European imports. The Haribo gummy wall is just amazing. Also love the casual service, wonderful staff, and the outdoor area. read more

I felt the prices were a bit expensive for what you get. The food was yummy but nothing extraordinary. My bf and I got two plates and two coffees and we got charged $65...seems steep for simple breakfast - maybe there was some automatic service fee and tip we didn't realize would hit us (not confirming this, just speculation and recommending you check your receipt as you always should). I can see why people love this place though...the service is great, portion sizes are big, dog-friendly and a lively place. I just personally don't see myself adding this to my usual rotation. I say good try at least once! read more

Standing g at the counter waiting for my to-go order and I noticed several slabs of smoked bacon on top the counter. They were just waiting to be sliced. Ugh. Looked fantastic! I asked if I could take a picture and when I recognized it was Matt the owner, I acknowledged him and that's when he offered me several chucks of smoked salmon which were incredible! I took my salmon and egg wrap to go, with a few other places to see in a few short hours. My wrap was fantastic I will be back for a cup of coffee and a meal in the future. This needs to be on your stop! read more

Came in for breakfast, family of six, and seating is outdoor. It was a very nice day, perfect for outdoor dining. The place has a small EU store attached. Very interesting. It also has a cheese and sausage section. EU products. I ordered the pesto basil pancake topped with two eggs and a side of spicy sausage. Yummilicious! The pancake was fluffy and light just the way I prefer it. The hubby had cinnamon raisin pancakes and that was exquisite as well. Daughter had the salmon pancake and that was delicious as well. Staff were friendly and helpful. Has our usual photo session and they obliged us with their photography skills. Lol Overall it's a great breakfast place in Santa Monica. After the meal, we all went for a walk by the beach! read more

I'm not even a pancake person and I LOVED Shoop's!! The blueberry pancakes were soft and fluffy, and they certainly did not skimp on the blueberries. The salmon pancakes were unique and the mustard dill sauce really tied it all together. Good portion of salmon too, which was cooked perfectly. The batter for both tasted light and fresh, and it was more than easy to clean off our plates. Casual vibes, store was seemed very well-kept, and service was kind. Would love to try other menu items next time! read more

I've been here several times after constantly seeing it on Google Maps and being intrigued. It's very no-frills - there's limited indoor seating, a bunch of outdoor seating, and you'll often have to wait in line to be seated, because it's a very popular brunch spot!! I highly recommend the bacon or banana pancakes -- they're both great. I also enjoyed the pancake and breakfast combos. Well worth the money! Inside, there's a very cool market with European goods. There's a pay-to-park lot behind the spot. read more

TLDR; Great food, Worst experience with Jeanie. We came here with excited anticipation after our foodie friend had given us a glowing recommendation of this place. Our friend wasn't wrong about the food - it was generous, and the smoked salmon was special. But the unwelcome attitude from a negligent staff member, Jeannie (Jeanie? Not sure spelling). She's the staff member who wears a green baseball cap. As it was our 1st time here, we weren't too clear on the process of ordering. It looked like there were tables outside, and a line at the register. Since we came in through the back, we thought naturally we were supposed to get in line. I see a table outside being cleared by Jeanie, so I go up and ask her: "Hi! Will this table be open?" She looks up at me with a condescending smile, and asks me in a tone very similar to the look she gives me: "Did you put your name down?" I tell her no, and apologize since it was my first time there. I then ask her where I can put my name down, and if the line at the front was it. She proceeds to give me very ambiguous answers, cheekily telling me that there's a "girl walking around with a clip board", and that this is "table service" so I can't just grab a table. Also, she tells me that the "girl's name is Avery." How should I know who Avery is? Also, I was by no means aggressively trying to "grab a table"; I was merely trying to get the proper instructions on how to even order. She continues to not be helpful, as if delighting in my confusion, a smirk perpetually on her face. I go back to my boyfriend, who was waiting in the line at the counter. It turns out to be the line for takeout. Jeanie then walks up to our line with a clipboard and starts taking names down. When she gets to us, she once again, clarifies that it is table service (not sure where this unwarranted condescension is coming from. We literally were as polite as can be) and asks us if we want to sit outside. We say yes, we do. After putting our names down, my boyfriend asks her where we should wait for our names to be called. She gestures vaguely outside. He then asks her who will be calling our names. We're so confused at this point bc there seemed to be no structure to this process, so we just wanted to make sure we didn't miss our names being called. The conversation goes somewhat like this: My BF: Will you be here calling our names when our table is ready? Jeannie: Me? Will *I* be here? What do you mean??? (very sarcastic talk-back like attitude, emphasis on "I") My BF: Yes. Or someone else. We're not sure where we should be waiting or who to look for. Jeannie: We'll be here ALLLLLL day. (again, dripping with sarcasm, not answering our question at all, but at this point we are so put off by her attitude that we don't want to continue talking to her) Our table is called very quickly. Our food arrives pretty quickly too. We ordered the Salmon Scramble and the Salmon Egg Wrap. Portions were great, price was on the more expensive side. The other servers constantly forgot to give us water, which would normally be understandable as things get busy, but we were already so miffed by our interaction with Jeannie that it was just fuel to the fire. During the whole meal, we were just talking about how unwarranted Jeanie's condescension and sarcasm was. It honestly spoiled the meal for us. She was the first person we talked to when entering, and that first impression matters a lot. I'm honestly appalled at her unprofessionalism. I really wanted to like this place. It's not everyday you find a cool deli that specializes in smoked salmon. If it weren't for Jeanie, we probably would've had a great time here. Cashier lady was nice though. She was lovely. Paid parking lot in the back. read more

Today was my third visit, and once again, it didn't disappoint. I ordered the salmon scramble--and trust me, the salmon is a must here. Perfectly cooked and flavorful, it's definitely one of their standout dishes. The scramble comes with two sides; I went with fruit and potatoes--both fresh and satisfying. The space has a cozy, quaint deli vibe with a full restaurant inside, and the service is consistently great. The staff is always friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Parking: Metered street parking is available right out front, and there's also a conveniently located, affordable lot in the back. Such a great hidden gem in Santa Monica. If you go, definitely try the salmon--you won't regret it! read more

Shoop's knows how to do breakfast and brunch. Eggs cooked to perfection. Fluffy, fresh and delicious. Pancakes that are crispy on the outside and soft, doughy on the inside. And of course, their renowned smoked salmon. They'll give you plentiful portions of fresh, flaky, and smokey fish if you get either the salmon scramble, wrap, or pancakes. So bomb. Shoops gets busy on weekends, as do most brunch spots on popular streets. But eating here is worth the wait. And the staff is warm, welcoming, and swift with their service. Limited seating inside so you'll likely have to sit outside on the weekend. Some might mind, but I don't. Bonus that the inside is a charming little German market! read more

You. Have. To. Get. The. Pancakes!!! Some of the best (if not *the* best.....ooo making a bold claim here) pancakes that I've had. Not only are they super raised and fluffy, but they even have a thin crispy layer on top. Ultimate sorcery. I did get the pineapple pancakes and the pineapple addition was alright. I don't think the pancakes really needed it. I also tried the salmon scramble (wanted to also try the popular smoked salmon here); the smoky-rich-tasting salmon didn't really complement well with the lightly-flavored scrambled eggs so I ended up eating them separate from each other. The side potatoes in this entree were perfectly seasoned. The sourdough toast lacked tang. Really friendly staff. Overall 5 stars mainly because of the amazing pancakes lol (made up for the salmon scramble which I thought was okay). Make your way here and order them (you can get them plain or try the other fruit-based ones)!!! That's an order! read more

A very competent breakfast spot with a German market inside. NYC deli vibe. The pancakes are excellent, with a fluffy inside and crispy outside. Really nicely done. The Shoop's Famous Bacon Pancakes - featuring bacon bits within - were good (but overshadowed by the spectacular steps of bacon alongside my plate). Next time I'll have to try the lox baguette; after our visit I've been hearing great things. Perhaps you'll beat me back to Shoop's. read more

Shoop's is a market and café restaurant located on Main Street in Santa Monica. This review is for Shoop's European Market only. Last week after watching FIFA games, one of the teams my friend was cheering on was The Netherlands, aka Dutch who won that game. Shoop's has a good selection of Dutch snacks and also from other European countries. The store is small but compact enough with a menagerie of savory and sweet foods to capture your amazement. The staff and the owner were cordial, helpful and nice to Me and my furbaby. Although I did not dine at the café restaurant, I would consider it next time because of the kindness and hospitality of the people who work here, including the genuinely cool owner, speaks volumes which is much needed these times. Recommend! read more

What a grape find on Santa Monica Main Street! They have a café, as well as a butcher to take foods to go. They grocery selection is fantastic, so many European goodies that are hard to find elsewhere. They have a nice beer and wine selection as well.

I've become a very regular.... um... regular at Shoop's. I now rarely buy my cheeses anywhere else, as the selection here is absolutely perfect for my palate, especially their sharp smoked cheddar (there's also a non-sharp option that's just as good). If you're a brat & frank fan, there is no better place on the West side. I used to think all franks were the same, but oh-em-gee was I wrong after sampling their foot-long franks (actually, they may be longer than that, but you get it). And that brat? I can't live without it now. Their signature product is still their top-selling smoked salmon (not the lox kind, but their cooked, smoked morsels of ROYALTY). I never go more than a week without getting more. Recently, I tried their pancakes for the first time. To be honest, I'm not a huge pancake fan, but they were so convincing, I caved. I think it has something to do with the way they cook it on their flat-top grill, because that crispy yet moist goodness is the first time I've re-discovered my childhood liking for pancakes. They offer plain, bacon, and blueberry pancakes (they may have more, but my memory sucks). The true test for me was my son, who is the pickiest eater this side of the Mississippi..... and they passed with flying colors. Shoop has curated all the right selections of candy, snacks, and grocery store items, especially that salted Nordic licorice, which is another reason I always find a reason to stop by. Absolutely love the family service here. "You wanna go where everybody knows your name... " (Cheers) read more

Was excited to try this place as it was within walking distance of our hotel in Santa Monica. When we arrived, I was disappointed to see that most of the seating (apart from a few crowded tables indoors) were set up outside right over the adjacent small parking lot. Why is this a bad thing? Because the lot was uneven and sloped, making the tables a bit unstable. Also, there was some kind of sewer smell present, which is definitely undesirable when you're trying to enjoy a meal. It was also a bit confusing how this establishment runs. We figured out that we had to stand in 1 general line, then when we got to the register we let them know we'd like to eat in. They put our name on a waiting list and we proceeded back outside to wait until a table was ready. It took maybe 15 minutes. For a Sunday morning, the staff was scarce. There was literally 1 gal waiting on all the tables and she looked overworked and annoyed. I don't blame her. Everyone else (working the register and the kitchen) appeared jolly and in good spirits. I chose to have the Salmon Scramble with potatoes and fruit. The portion was generous and hearty. Their in-house smoked salmon is delicious and is what made the meal awesome. My husband kept picking some off my plate. I really wanted to try a yummy pancake, but I don't like to order more food than we can finish, so we didn't. Another thing: We also realized after sitting at our table for a while, that our waitress wasn't coming back with a check. We headed back indoors to the register, let them know which table we were sitting at (noticed it was marked with spray paint on the ground next to our table... tacky...) and then proceeded to pay for our meal. Overall, our dishes were good, but our experience wasn't as great as it could've been based on the things I've already noted. read more
