Service was amazing,Randy took my order and was very kind and made sure everything was okay.10/10 experience

To start off, they have free street parking nearby which is unheard of in west LA. We beat the lunch crowd and were able to order at the register and pick out a table right away. They have a good amount of staff working, and our dishes were brought out promptly. We got upsold on buying a cinnamon roll to share, and we all liked it but wish it was warmer. All of our main dishes were a perfect portion for our large appetites on move-out day. I had the chilaquiles with perfectly cooked eggs and well-seasoned meat, avocado, and chips. read more

Food was OK. Not sure I'll be back since it was hard to get there but their coffee was good. Nice and warm ambiance inside with enclosed outdoor seating Service was good Parking: 1 hour free parking with validation read more

Review based on recent visit alone. Price inflation is normal throughout LA, but it took almost 25-30 mins of waiting time from ordering to get food & between two people we shared a smoothie ($10), which i would skip as its just ice and berries seemingly, a three stack of buttermilk pancakes (these were regular but still good, def stick to the pastry like breakfast items) & an egg & turkey bacon farmer's breakfast plate. The salad in it was good and the food was fine but the avocado was like a 1/4 slice and everything felt mid for the cost of this particular dish. Somehow everything amounted to $52 for nothing special, but honestly it was the waiting that killed things for us ~2:30pm on a Sunday. It didn't seem that crowded, so we just felt like the food took way too long to receive. As well, the parking lot has changed (which is not society kitchens fault) and now they validate for one hour, which might be fine if food arrived sooner, but was kind of annoying since things were delayed. In future, I'll come back just for lattes (which I still love), and a small snack. read more

Food is not bad but nothing spectacular. I got the rustic steak sandwich which was large had too much cheese. I went on a Sunday for lunch with some friends - I'm sure their counter order system works well most of the time but it didn't work well with the Sunday brunch rush. They seem to have some tension with the next door curry place. There weren't seats available on the restaurants side and they just kept telling us they wouldn't be able to serve us if we sat at the wrong patio tables unless someone ordered from that restaurant. I understand we want to respect designated tables but I also think they could've helped manage things better by managing seating. Instead it was just awkward with waiters whispering to each other and clearly exasperated with us when they didn't really help us find a solution. I personally wouldn't recommend coming here during a busy time and I probably won't come back. read more

I've been here multiple times and the food is always good! I've seen service be very accommodating to went customers have questions or want something changed. I tried a few different coffees and matchas and they are all good, but I don't know if those are worth the price. However, every food item has totally been worth it! The outside seating is nice and covered by umbrellas, yet the music from next store sometimes clashes with the music they are playing. if you are sensitive to that type of noise, then sitting inside would be better read more

Met with a new and lovely friend I actually met at a Yelp Elite Event in Agoura Hills recently... Just another reason why I love the Yelp Elite events so much. I had a fruit, chia pudding and quinoa melange which was delicious and filling and priced fairly. She had a vegan burrito and a matcha concoction that looked almost neon colored. She loved it. The service was good. The people that were all having wonderful repasts around us were lovely and super friendly. Great outdoor vibes. It's in my old Santa monica neighborhood which I know so well so it's a very comfortable experience basically being home again! Great addition to Sunset Park on Ocean Park Blvd. Next time, and there will be a next time I'm definitely going for something a little more meaty! A lot of delicious meals there are definitely in my future! Sunday parking was easy peasy. read more

Crispy French Toast 5/5 - genuinely might be the best french toast I've ever had, 100% recommend adding the whipped ricotta cheese!!! This place is definitely on the expensive side, but it's Santa Monica so what can you really expect. We went on a Saturday afternoon for brunch and it was crazy busy, so if you're a group I'd recommend coming early or making a reservation. There's a parking lot in the back and plenty of street parking. read more

First and last time ever! Never again. 3 stars is overly generous - but I give 2 stars for the lady in charge apologizing (I ate very little) and although she never offered a refund she did make me a second cafe latte (OK but small). The fruit on the side was excellent - but everything else that we were served was tasteless and virtually inedible. I do hate places like this where you have to pay and give an 18% tip before you are served. So we ended up paying $73.72 for dry nasty buttermilk pancakes, 2 rashers of burned bacon on the side (and some good fresh fruit on the side - see pic) and an apple, fig, cheese and bacon sandwich which was beyond disappointing. Never again. In terms of ambiance - being surrounded by dirty tables with dishes from previous customers, and piled up by the service desk - not conducive to enjoying the experience. Plenty of parking and outside seating available. read more

On the hunt to find the best breakfast burrito for the money out on LA. Unfortunately I had to Door Dash mine because I had a small window of time and didn't want to leave LA without trying it, so I did take that into consideration when rating it. That said, the only thing wrong with it really was the temp inside was barely warm (again probably a door dash issue) and the burrito was busting out the bottom before I ever picked it up. Were the flavors and side salsas good? Yup! Actually reminds of a much larger Wake n Late breakfast burrito. My favorite thing about it was the actual tortilla. It was toasted and really chewy in a great way. The thing most wrong with it was the price really. $30 ... cmon. It's a great burrito really but the value for the price completely misses. Maybe I'll come back for a sit down experience and see what happens then. read more

I think my expectations were a bit too high after the TikTok I saw about this place... But the cookie butter cinnamon roll (might have been a fall special?) was very good and had a unique flavor. I do wish I'd got the fig and apple grilled cheese instead of the lemon ricotta pancakes, because the pancakes were somewhat overdone without much lemon flavor. Still edible for sure but I think my expectations were too high as a pancake lover. My girlfriend got the eggs Benedict and unfortunately the egg was not at all poached. read more

Visited at 1 on a Friday. Super busy and super understaffed. My lavender fog drink was $12!!! Food was good but took a while to arrive. They had the World Cup games playing, which was nice, but I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you have $40 to spend on a meal. read more

Met with a friend for lunch. Cute spot with a parking lot. There's validation at the restaurant. Very cute patio seating with umbrellas for the sunny day.. friendly staff.

The food is amazing! Randy is an amazing server as well as the overall service of the restaurant. Definitely will come back soon!

We were just here yesterday and spent about $120 on 3 people. We decided to come back to try the $4 burrito special they're advertising. When we ordered two burritos and two drinks, our total came out to almost $50. That was the first issue. Make sure when you come here they aren't overcharging you. We asked for clarification on why the total was so high. Turns out, they were charging us full price for the burritos. When we asked why, the worker told us that the plate would come with TWO burritos. We asked if on plate was enough for two people, we were told yes. Mind you, we're two petit girls, not big men. We don't eat a crazy amount. We said okay and just paid for it. When our plate came, this is what we got... ONE small BURRITO cut it half. Completely different from what was advertised, what we were told, and ultimately they did us wrong. They should've just told us that the truth before letting us order and receiving a snack sized burrito for two people. Extremely disappointing considering we often come here and give this business our service. We were LITERALLY here YESTERDAY, and come here every few weeks and drop a pretty hefty amount. We've now been sitting here for almost 20 minutes since the staff said they would see what they could do about it. They haven't tried to mend things at all and it looks like they're just hoping we will leave and take the loss. We are still hungry... so upsetting. Such bad service today, super upset. Attached a photo, mind you, this is a tiny plate. read more

Got their grilled breakfast sandwich. Biggest disappointment was the terribly overcooked "Sunny side up" egg. No runny yolk, it was thick like an underbaked brownie. Had I dined there I would have sent it back. And instead of Monterey Jack cheese, I got cheddar. That's irritating. I got food poisoning, too from the undercooked bacon. The one time I regret there was a lot of bacon. Since there are many highly rated reviews, maybe it was an off day in the kitchen? Also don't make the main picture on Google with a side salad if you just get a sandwich. The option to eat breakfast all day is much welcome and appreciated. It's a cool looking place but diner beware. If ordering to go, **check your food** before you leave. read more

I'm still thinking about those chicken biscuit sliders with scrambled eggs three days later, and that pretty much says it all. Walk into Society Kitchen on a sunny Santa Monica morning and the vibe hits you instantly: bright, airy, welcoming, with that perfect California-casual energy and the smell of fresh biscuits pulling you straight to the counter. I ordered the fried chicken biscuit sliders topped with fluffy scrambled eggs, cheddar, and a drizzle of hot honey that should probably be illegal. The biscuits? Insanely tender, buttery, with just the right golden crunch on the outside. The chicken is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and fried to crispy perfection without being heavy. Add those cloud-like eggs and that sweet-spicy honey, and every single bite is the definition of breakfast (or brunch... or lunch) heaven. Portions are generous, prices are shockingly fair for the quality and location, and the staff treats you like a regular from the second you walk in, super friendly, fast, and genuinely happy you're there. The iced lavender oat-milk latte I paired with it was the cherry on top: smooth, floral, not too sweet. Sat on the patio people-watching Ocean Avenue and honestly didn't want to leave. Society Kitchen just shot to the very top of my Santa Monica must list. If you're anywhere near the Westside and craving something that will make your taste buds sing and your weekend complete, get the chicken biscuit sliders. You'll thank me later. Already planning my next visit! read more

Came to Society Kitchen for an early dinner Thursday which also meant taking advantage of their Happy Hour menu. You walk up order and grab a number while you wait for your food to be delivered to you. We got the grilled cheese dippers and the spicey farfalle pasta. The tomato soup with the dippers was thick but delicious. The bread for the grilled cheese was very soft and I prefer more crunchy for my grilled cheese. The spicey farfalle pasta we ordered with chicken and the chicken was the only thing that made it spicey and brought flavor to the dish. They have indoor and outdoor seating which is perfect to bring your pup. Silverware and napkins are on the tables kn a mini bucket. They have self service water. Ample 2hr parking with a semi hidden entrance to a lower parking lot. read more

Went here with some friends for brunch and luckily beat the mad rush getting there earlier. You order at the counter and then choose your table, there was a decent amount of seats outside and the inside was relatively small. I decided to try the hot honey chicken wrap which was yummy and interesting, but somewhat simple with flavor. It had eggs, cheese and the hot honey chicken which was an interesting yet yummy mixture. I will say the "hot" part seemed to be missing as there wasn't any spice and it mainly tasted like honey chicken and the eggs and cheese. I do wish the chicken was more breaded as I think it would've added another texture and flavor. I also think it could've used a lot more spice as I don't think it was spicy and we just tasted the honey. However, it was pretty good, but did not come with a side unfortunately, so it was just the wrap I think for like $17. The service was relatively quick and they checked on us a couple of times which was nice. You order at the tablet and find a table which we easily did at 10am, but by 11am there was a ridiculous line which I'm not sure I would want to wait in. It ended up getting ridiculously busy by the time we left and there was a massive line waiting outside of the door for what began to seem like very few tables. Cleary a very popular place for brunch and it seemed like you could make a reservation beforehand which I would recommend doing. Overall decent food and would try again! read more

Ambience at outdoor patio was nice with good tacos and friendly service, but apparently their parking in the lot provided (street metered parking is very limited) is a no nightmare which even the employees complained about. They are supposed to validate and you scan a code which gets validated inside the restaurant when you buy your food, but nothing worked with the scans even when their employees tried to help. I ended up having to pay $20 to park for an hour and fifteen minutes which is outrageous! They recommend you email ( because you cannot call any number) a help line for a refund. So annoying! I did that and haven't gotten any reply. I won't go back again because the parking situation is way too frustrating , expensive and not user friendly!! Too bad. read more

Society kitchen has great food and drinks! Check out my photos! Everything is served with a beautiful presentation. There are vegan and vegetarian options so many people can have options. My friends and I had the Crispy French Toast, Chilaquiles, Vegan Breakfast Burrito, Espresso Martini, and Matcha Mint Mojito. I do not have a favorite because everything was amazing! The Crispy French Toast is warm and soft with crispy edges. It's not too sweet so it has a balance. The Chilaquiles and Breakfast Burrito have delicious flavors. There was a good amount of spice, which I love. To top it off, the service is welcoming and friendly. They also keep the place clean and there's a self-serve area with containers when you're ready to leave. You can sit inside or outside and you'll be met with kindness. Overall, this is a great brunch spot! Try it and if you already did, come back! I definitely will! read more

The good: Stuffed Cinnamon Bites are heavenly, light & crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. It was awesome to have coffee ice cubes in the iced coffee. The famous Lemon Ricotta Pancakes were a bit underwhelming and slightly undercooked, but we were glad we tried them. They could def up the lemon flavor. The Candied Bacon was fun, but we each only ate 1 slice because they are a lot, heavy on the sweet & spice, def made for sharing. The less than great: we really wanted the Cookie Butter Cinnamon Rolls, but they are only available on the weekends. This is an order at the counter restaurant. When I checked out with my credit card the tip option started at 18% and went up from there. I am more than happy to tip 20+% for full service. However, standing in line to place my order, taking a number & finding my own seat is not full service. Please start your tip options at 12-15% or pay your employees a living wage. (Which you might, idk, but even as a former server I was insulted that my option was 18%+.) The cashier clearly watched me make my choice. The cafe is cute enough. We sat on the patio which only has partial protection from the sun. read more

I had gone to this brunch place with a friend after we had done some shopping in the area. I had been to this plaza before but never to this restaurant. The outside seating was lovely and had plenty of great spots with shade and with sun. The menu was next to the door and had a small seasonal menu. After browsing the menu we decided on the Banana Quinoa bowl, Lemon Ricotta pancakes, and for drinks I got a black iced tea and my friend got a Carmel Apple Matcha. I ordered a side of bacon and eggs as well. We ordered and the guy who helped us out with our questions and took the order was polite. After we ordered we got a number and sat outside with our number and waited. As we waited I went to the bathroom and noticed it was clean and didn't smell. The inside of the actual place was very quiet and calm. Most people were sitting outside as it was a very sunny day. Our drinks came after about 3-5 minutes which was great. The black iced tea tasted exactly how I expected it to taste. My friend works at a coffee shop so he was excited to try the matcha. We both tasted it and he told me that the base was water which wasn't bad but it took away from the cold foam. He thought the base should've been coconut milk but he said that's a personal preference. Still good! I thought it was lovely. The food came about 15 minutes later and it looked absolutely gorgeous. The presentation was 10/10. The pancakes were different than the what I was used to but that wasn't a negative. I've never had ricotta so that was a nice experience for the first time. My friend said his quinoa dish was tasty. I didn't get to try it but judging from the presentation it couldn't have been bad. If I am ever in the area again and want some good brunch I'll be stopping by this place again :3 read more

Had a lovely Sunday brunch at Society Kitchen. The cheesy hash was delicious and the food came out hot so the cheese was still perfectly melty. Lots of outdoor seating and we were able to get seated right away despite the busy day though it seems like there were ebbs and flows so your luck may vary. A good space for smaller pups though a little tight if you have a big dog. Parking: In a rare LA surprise this complex has decently large free parking lot for up to 2 hours. I have always had success finding a spot at any hour, but there are also metered street spots if in a pinch. read more

First thing to understand is that parking can be really tricky there is a lot and you can't see it from the lot so your GPS is gonna tell you you're there but you really not you have to go inside the lot and then park. Don't go underground park on the lot, and then you walk inside and there's several different restaurants and society is kind of in the middle. Nico and the crew and Jacob were amazing. Patiently waiting for a seat. Chose to sit inside and our party of 6 order bottomless mimosas. I love a good bottomless mimosa brunch. We ordered food. I got a salad. I wish I would have asked for dressing on the side. There was a bit too much dressing. But it was really good California Caesar salad. Ended up a little soggy. The mimosas are mostly orange juice with a splash of Prosecco. I like it the other way around, but it was pre mixed and that's what we got. They are very good at continuing to pour but most restaurants just leave the carafe for you, but I guess this is their way of avoiding people drinking a bottomless mimosa that they didn't order. There is a nice crowd of people there they have indoor and outdoor seating all in all it was a decent experience. I would definitely go back, knowing what I do, I think I would have a better experience, I'm sure. read more

The food isn't bad. The French toast is delicious, but both sandwiches I tried were lackluster: The breakfast sandwich had American cheese, not real cheese, as was advertised on the menu. The chicken sandwich was dry and bland. The Chilaquiles were ok. The coffee and tea hit the spot though. The service is lacking, IMHO. It is a walk up, order, take a number place. Once we were seated, we were asked several times if everything was ok, but when requesting maple syrup, they straight forgot, and when requesting sugar they said "it's over there". I guess I would have liked to know that utensils, sugar, condiments were all self service when I paid and tipped. My bad, but now you know. I loved the outdoor patio where I could bring my dog, but the restaurant next door had music that totally conflicted with this restaurant's music, so the vibe was totally off. See the video posted and turn up the volume read more

About $30 a person, very crowded on a Saturday 145. Keep your receipt. They don't tell you anything, but you have to walk in go to the right and order. Then find your own seat after they give you a number. Also with this system you could easily order and have no where to sit. Their tables are haphazardly cleaned. It's loud and echoy inside. Outside has umbrellas but doesn't look like heaters. You have to get your own water, condiments and Togo boxes. Why I gave a tip, I have no idea. Currently it's decorated with Christmas theme that's pretty nice. They have a pretty decent menu. Bacon is very good. Turkey bacon is pretty good. Gluten-free Pancakes are decent, definitely do not get added strawberries for $2 as it's one (maybe 2) strawberry cut up. The $1 whipped rocatta was worth it. Even though they didn't give it to until it asked and showed receipt. I suggest dipping than putting on the pancake itself. County potatoes are OK, greasy. Has lots of salt and peppers. Ketchup isn't heniz. Kim likes the Chai Togo or delivery is probably better than eating here read more

I visited Society Kitchen at 3:50 PM, well before their advertised 4 PM closing time, only to be told they were done for the day at 3:30. Despite still being inside, the staff refused to serve us, preferring to chat amongst themselves. It's unacceptable to lie about closing hours just to avoid serving customers. I won't be coming back.

I've been to Society Kitchen a couple of times now and it's been a five star experience every time! Most recently, a large group of us dined at Society Kitchen for a friend's birthday brunch. While the wait to place our orders was a bit long, it was totally worth it because the Cheesy Hash and Matcha Green Tea Latte were exceptionally delicious! The latte totally hit the spot and it took some serious self-control to not order another one...! The Cheesy Hash was adequately proportioned and the ratio of ingredients was perfect. I can confirm that Society Kitchen is a great spot for brunch. They do have bottomless mimosas, which I've gotten before, but whew wee be careful - they creep up on you! I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Society Kitchen. read more
