Wonderful ambience! This is not a full service restaurant. You wait in line ( many times the line is out the front door onto the side walk. This part is a bit stressful. Order and pay at the counter and find a table indoors or outside. Both areas are nice, however inside, the noise level is a wee bit louder, however I haven't had any issues having a conversation with a friend. For those with sensitive ears, just sit outside. One can come here for coffee. Free refills! You can ask for a cup ( their cups are glass), but the coffee doesn't stay warm long. If you plan on sitting there and don't mind a paper cup To Go, order your coffee in a To Go cup. Food: each time I have ordered food to eat there, it arrives promptly and presented beautifully. Their sandwiches are made with their house made bread! Delicious! Try to save room for one of their pastries or desserts. Tartine is an oasis to relax, unwind, catch up with friends, people watch. Parking: paid lot, adjacent, not cheap. read more

The food is good but the parking is a nightmare. There is a parking lot adjacent that is advertised as $1 for the first 45 min with validation. But: They have a crazy attendant that spies where you are walking and decides how much you pay based on his opinion vs your receipt from the store and validation stamps. When I came back he said I owed him $15. I showed him my receipt but he claimed he watched me walk away and so validation doesn't count anymore. I refused to pay for his demand and he told me I am banned from the parking lot. He is on crack. Shame because tartine will lose clients because of this dudes behavior. I used to go several times each week but I can't deal with this guy making up rules depending on whether he likes you or not. read more

Absolutely beautiful setting. The patio has plenty of seating and cool. The interior is lovely and serene. Orders are taken at the cash register and food is brought out. The quiche was baked perfectly- delicate custard and a beautiful crust. The salad was crisp, fresh, and dressed with a terrific vinaigrette. The tuna sandwich was delicious. The bread had a great chew, good crust. The filling was just the right ratio to bread. Yummy tuna - super flavor. A mini suggestion would be that it seemed to missing a surprise. The only reason for this comment is the sandwich was graced with a pickled carrot. A pickled carrot! Consider tossing some fried capers into the tuna salad. The texture and crunch would serve as that tiny surprise. Again, it's fantastic as is. We took a baguette home to enjoy later. Tartine knows bread. Excellent texture and chew. Definitely worth a visit. And a return visit. read more

Perfect morning coffee or lunch spot with space indoors and outdoors. You can work there like a cafe, or go with friends to catch up. The bread makes the sandwiches. I had the tuna because it looked far more complex than what I would make. Loved it. read more

Tartine - The walk to the lovely outdoor eating spaces. Sit under a flower-filled trellis or under sun umbrellas. No better place to eat a sandwich. - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Santa Monica, CA Met my friend for coffee and to catch up on life. Inside was empty but outdoor dining was kind of full. While waiting for my friend I had the liberty to check out their menu. Prices are the same as the other places, but the sizes weren't what I expected, tiny and pricey. That alone made me realize this spot might not be for me. The pastries are looking good and delicious, and the pricing for those seemed in line with what you'd find elsewhere. Public facility is located outside and clearly labeled for women, men and all genders. Parking is limited and shared with other businesses, and it is not free. Street parking is available, but you have to watch the signs and time limits. read more

Food: - Egg sandwich: good amount of egg, but one dimensional dish - Lemon tart: strong lemon flavor, crust was hard, I prefer graham cracker crust - Ham and cheese croissant: good mix of cheese and jam, I wish the cheese flavor was stronger Ambiance: - Parking, terrible ): they offer valet parking only which costs $ - Order at the counter and food is brought out - Seating was plentiful! Great ambiance read more

Super cute spot for brunch or if you want to grab pastries/coffee. The one bad thing was the parking which they do have a lot next to them but it's paid, of course. We did find free street parking which was nice. The have a ton of both indoor and outdoor seating, shaded and unshaded. The service is fast and efficient. The inside decor is cute but the outside is so stunning and adorable. The restroom is inclusive and the hand washing area is for everyone. They didn't have much pastries left by the time we got there in the early afternoon so we got the pain au chocolat and lemon poppyseed cake and requested both to be warmed up. We also got an iced oatmilk latte and the rosella mint tea. Overall, it was pretty good but we honestly just enjoyed being outside. read more

The cutest bakery in town. Used to be a church and nowdays it's Tartine !!! I have been here at least twice but somehow never wrote a review. Tartine is good everywhere. The croissants, freshly baked pastries, sandwiches, salads, coffee and of course their freshly baked bread. This location is spacious and very unique. The old church building gives it a character like no other. The ambiance is great with indoor and outdoor seating. I really like their outdoor seating area. Parking is $1 with validation right next to the bakery. Or you can park on the street. Customer service is ok ... The baked good are delicious and fresh always. Sandwiches and salads are flavorful, some seasonal as well. If you are in the area stop by and check this place out you won't be disappointed. .... read more

The location inside of an ultra is absolutely stunning! The outside gardens are equally beautiful. So peaceful and serene truly an incredible meal! The tuna was fantastic at the vegetarian. Their baguette is outstanding! You simply can't go wrong with anything here. The staff is friendly and extremely hard-working. Our food was made to order within 10 minutes and presented beautifully. Highly recommended! read more

Such a vibe!! Loads of indoor and outdoor / gardeny seating. Lot is small but lots of street parking. They cook so fast, within 5 minutes of ordering. + Soft scrambled eggs w salmon roe on toast $15.50 + $2.50 jammy egg + $4.50 avocado half, really added up but was so pretty, fresh and liked the labneh. Good country bread too (8/10) + Ham and cheese croissant ok, flaky and nice crispy cheese edge but needs more cheese and bit too salty (7.5/10) They messed up my order and were so nice about it, cortado on the house read more

Tartine is located in what looks like a small converted church, but apparently it used to be a mortuary. The setting and the ambience is quaint and unique with both inside and outside seating. It has a small parking lot on-site, otherwise there is street parking nearby. I had high hopes give all the rave reviews and the long line to get in at 8am when they opened, but was a bit disappointed. I ordered a cappuccino and the omelette with soft herbs and sharp cheddar. Perhaps I should have ordered a bakery/bread item given that's what they're known for. The omelette had no flavor and the cheese definitely didn't taste sharp. Something in the herbs also didn't go with the eggs (perhaps tarragon?). The included salad was overdressed and too vinegary for my taste. The cappuccino came out cold and I asked to have it heated up, and they gladly made a new one for me. Also, the loud music blaring at 8am when trying to have a conversation was annoying. This was a miss for me. That said, my friend enjoyed her bakery items very much read more

I got the Banana Cream Tart, Mocha and Morning Bun Latte - the Banana cream tart is totally worth the hype! The tart is very flaky and easy to eat while the banana cream was light, airy and had real banana chunks in it. It looks small in the photo but is a good sized irl. They also had a coconut cream tart whose looked equally irresistible but I had no room for it unfortunately. Their mocha was really good and out of curiosity asked what chocolate they used for it and they mentioned it is the Valrhona dark chocolate. Their morning bun latte was slightly disappointing in the sense that even though it was good, it barely tasted like a morning bun. Their outdoor patio is so pretty!! read more

LOVED Tartine! The place was so cute with plenty of seating inside and outside! There are no reservations so you have to wait but the line moves quickly and the food was brought out soon after we ordered!

Everything was delicious and I can't wait to go back! read more

Such a cute and date-worthy spot in Santa Monica. I came here on a Sunday evening to celebrate a friend's birthday. The interior dining options are dim and romantic while the outside offers a cute garden experience-- both are great! My understanding was that Tartine only served pastries or brunch options, but I was wrong! They offer a delicious dinner menu. I recommend the following items: ROASTED BABY CARROTS: you can't go wrong with these crispy carrots! The whipped ricotta and the za'atar sauce spread over them makes the perfect combination! PEPPERONI PIZZA: these are medium size pizzas that come with about six slices. If you're hungry, order two pizzas for two people. If you're not too hungry or if you're ordering other things like salads, etc, then perhaps one pizza will do. Even my friend who is not a fan of pepperoni pizza agreed that this one was absolutely delicious! DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE: oof, chocolate lovers, you're in for a treat! It's like a piece of soft chocolate that will melt in your mouth. Absolutely mouth watering, you won't even want to share. Service was amazing! Both our server and our host, Angel, were kind and helpful. They even brought a slice of cake with a candle to celebrate my friend. There's an entire parking lot available, with a fee, of course, but it's nice to know there's plenty of parking instead of having to drive around the neighborhood trying to find a spot. read more

This was my very first Tartine experience, and as a huge salmon lover, I can confidently say the smoked salmon tartine did not disappoint. The flavors were perfectly balanced with bright citrus, a subtle pickled bite, and the satisfying crunch of the bread all working together. YUM. Truly SO GOOD. Highly recommend. As for the restaurant itself, the vibe is immaculate. It is lively with that cozy café energy and perfect for getting work done inside or just hanging out. There is a great selection of pastries and drinks, and the patio deserves its own shoutout. It is super aesthetic with greenery everywhere. Pro tip, bring a jacket. I would absolutely come back. Great food and a great atmosphere. read more

Tartine - SMOKED SALMON TARTINE - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Such a lovely space for a meal (yes it was a former mortuary, but that makes it even nicer!). Had breakfast here this morning and there was a line even before it opened at 8am. I got a savory scone, artichoke danish, and matcha latte, and everything was very satisfying. The danish was particularly good, with excellent flake and flavor. Fast and friendly service, and plenty of picturesque seating indoors and out. Could do with turning down the music a bit especially with speakers aimed straight at us, but good meal otherwise. Street and paid lot parking. read more

4/5 a bit pricey but the food and pastry makes me remind myself of back home where momma used to heat up the oven and make some pie

Tartine is something that you just don't pass up when you're in the area... you want fresh bakery goods than this is where you go, you want a great breakfast and some lattes then don't hesitate... The vibe of this place is just very organic and natural. The inside is beautiful and open spaced and they have outdoor seating under shade and in a park like area that just make it peaceful. You will order and pay up front and the hosts will Come out to you. Everyone was amazing and on point with making sure we were good. The front desk was also great with recommendations. The pastry's were just so good and the macha latte I got was on point. We got a breakfast sandwich , eggs bacon and toast and I got a salmon avocado toast that was just perfection. Honestly we can't wait to go back it's was just an amazing place. SIDE NOTE.... be careful where ya park... we did not notice the permit only and their parking lot was full soooo we ended up getting a ticket. Really annoying so that would be the only hindering factor is if you can't find parking. read more

Definitely way more expensive than it should be but you can't deny that their pastry and bread are top notch. Their bread loaf is definitely the perfect texture when it is fresh. Most of their pastry are very well made as well with the freshest ingredients. Is it worth the price though. That depends on how much you are willing to spend on bread and pastry I guess. For me, I'll get this once in a while because it is a treat for sure but too much and I might go broke! read more

First time customer for lunch today. What an interesting history this building has. A mortuary/Funeral Parlor with a small church inside for over 75 years before becoming Tartine! That explains the unique design and feel to the restaurant. I thought it was great! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It's quite noisy sitting inside. You wait in line to order your food which is later brought to your table. The baked goodies are all lined up in a case as you stand in line tempting you to buy something. They are beautifully presented. I had the Green Goddess Salad and added grilled chicken and avocado. It was very fresh and tasty. It had a bit too much dressing already added on it. I think it would be better to have dressing served on the side. The price for the salad without the add ons is $18.50. After adding the chicken & avocado my salad was $30.50!!! I think that's a bit expensive for a salad. I also bought a croissant to bring home for my husband and I to try. It was very flaky and fresh. Service was great! Our server was Max and he was the nicest guy. I would definitely return for some coffee or tea drink and a pastry to share with my husband but wasn't blown away by their other lunch or breakfast items on the menu. As mentioned in other reviews - Parking. It's not the greatest. It's Santa Monica so be patient and hopefully a parking spot will open up. read more

New customer. The coffee is absolutely incredible so strong and sweet and perfect and really stays with you, especially the iced lattes they are just to die for. Unfortunately my $8 almond croissant was stale and not very enjoyable and because of the price point I expected better. So that part was disappointing. Overall my experience aside from that was pleasant and I'm looking forward to coming back soon for coffee, but hesitant to purchase any more pastries here. read more

While I was waiting for my sister who was having a quick procedure at UCLA Santa Monica, I needed my essential pick me up...COFFEE! I found his on yelp and it was in walking distance so I headed over. Yes, it may resemble a Church...but in actuality, it was formally a "mortuary!" I was wondering why I could feel the energy of past lives here...but that's a story for another day:). The owners are Elisabeth Prueitt and her husband, renowned baker Chad Robertson. It is a historic landmark in Santa Monica. It is now a full service bakery & restaurant and the line was out the door! It does move fast though... I was in Coffee and Bakery Lover HEAVEN! The interior was beautiful. High ceilings, plenty of tables and the cases were filled with mouth watering items! I was overwhelmed! I had a hard time picking something but I went with a classic scone & my extra hot latte with an add shot, OFC:) It was the perfect combination! The outdoor patio was lovely. I sat there catching up on social media and enjoyed people watching until I got the call my sister was ready to go home. It was so peaceful here and I really enjoyed the landscaping on the patio. Highly recommend stopping by. And if you are a "ghost chaser, spiritual, or a Wiccan...it's a must! *Street Parking & there is a lot next door. read more

Westside location of the popular bakery from SF. I really like the lemon tart here, although the last time I had it, it felt a little old (so perhaps don't order it too early in the morning). The breakfast sandwich is also delicious - I really like the brioche bread paired with the aioli and a fluffy piece of egg. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It is dog friendly. Free parking in their garage or you can park in a metered spot. Credit cards accepted. read more

My first visit here was 1224 2025. I'm on a recreational personal trip. I came for breakfast around 9 o'clock in the morning. Ambience is pleasant, and there was a waiting line. Most of us would interpret. That is a good sign. Tartine is a well established name in the world of sourdough breads. In this location, they had dine in options, and choices of many different items. Staff was very friendly. Decor is casual. I had the vegetable quiche, and later had a coconut cream tart. There was a side salad with the quiche. I had house coffee. I also ordered a loaf of bread as carryout and I can't comment on it yet because I'm still full from breakfast. The interior of the quiche had a nice flavor and texture. In my opinion, it was slightly over baked crust. I certainly look forward to returning and trying other items on the menu. read more

I was going to be in the area for another experience and figured I'd look up some well rated places for brunch. The exterior of Tartine was quaint so I decided I would give them a shot. Tartine has a lovely covered outside eating area and the interior of the restaurant is quite nice. Outside of that I have to say that my expereince was middling, at best. Tartine is a general counter service restaurant which I do enjoy however for the prices they are charging I would expect a more personal touch to service. When we got to the counter the cashier was polite but outside of our interaction with her there was no real interaction with any of the other employees. Even when our food came the server was brusque and started setting the food down before asking either my friend or myself who ordered which plates. I dont necessarily mind quick and prompt service but there's a difference between efficency in communication and just sloppy serving. I figured at least the $17 Omelette would be qutie good. I was mistaken. I've honestly had a better omelette at Waffle House. The white cheddar completely overpowered all the other flavors in the omelette. There's no real reason to add herbs to an omelette if the cheddar is just going to drown out everything else. Especially since Eggs have a soft flavor themselves it mostly tasted like I was eating just cheese. Additionally, the Omelette was over cooked. I'd wager by at least a minute. There was little moisuture still within the eggs but it was ok. Just not worth $17 at all. To accompany the Omelette the dish came with dressed spring mix lettuce and some bread. The bread was fairly decent and probably the best part of the dish. I also ordered a side of bacon which is 2 slices, cooked perfectly in my opionion. However that did cost almost $5 which, just... why so much? I did not try their pastries but I will say they looked good at least on display. The circumsied ecalir was particularly funny to see. When you see it, you'll understand. Overall, Tartine is a quaint place to enjoy a meal but unfortunately the meal's do not live up to the cost. read more

Tartine is a staple for pastries and decadent baked goods in my household. A bit expensive, but top tier quality, taste, and presentation. They provide seasonal options, so the baked goods selection does change throughout the year, which is always delightful when you walk in. The country loaf is a must have and I always get the half loaf, pre-sliced. I've never had bread fresher than this! The desserts are a treat! and are so pretty that they can be gifted! Service is friendly, the outdoor seating in West Adams is cute, the one is SaMo is bigger and has much more seating. The only issue is that they don't have more locations! read more

I was in the area for training and was looking for a good place to satisfy my caffeine related needs. While I did have to use a map to walk to it, I actually was able to follow the buttery scent of freshly baked croissants to this lovely place. It's a very pretty spot with a nice shaded outside seating area. It's charming inside and you can see the croissants and pastries being made. I wasn't too big of a fan of my croissant I got. Maybe I waited too long but it was rather dry. I think this was the best iced espresso I've had in my life. This is a smooth, velvety espresso with no bitter acidity. I'm sad that I don't live near this place because I would come here daily. read more

Tartine Important Life Update: Tartine SaMo has officially entered its dinner era -- and it's every bit as satisfying as you'd hope from the beloved bakery.

Went back to Tartine to try their new dinner menu for a birthday celebration and it was the perfect night! They easily accommodated a group of 10 people and the reservation on Resy was simple. The servers were very friendly and attentive - refilling waters and checking in throughout the meal. The food was delicious as well! I tried the warm country bread & butter, the burrata (my favorite!!), and the fig & pig pizza. Everything was very good and reasonably priced for a casual but classy meal. I loved the ambiance in the evening too - it's already such a cute spot but they had dim lights and relaxing music and candles, creating an intimate vibe. Parking was easy in Santa Monica (free street parking after 6), but there's also a lot. Because it was a birthday celebration, they allowed us to purchase a full cake from them for $99 which had about 13 HUGE slices! They also gave us a special birthday pastry as well. Overall it made the celebration very special and we are already looking forward to our next meal here! Thank you to everyone at Tartine!! Pro-tip: Don't bother emailing, just call them if you have questions about your res or special requests! read more
