Stopped by here after we went to Santa Monica, and they were able to seat our party of 6 instantly so we went with it. We were seated outside and it was very nice. The service was also very nice and friendly. You order through their tablet on the table which is pretty nice, I personally don't mind it and think it makes it easier so you don't gotta wave people down or interrupt them. Our group some mimosas / cocktails and they were delivered pretty quickly. The food came out soon after. I felt like the French toast was pretty ok, very normal, nothing special for a French toast but it was solid. This was my first shakshuka tho and it was very good, nice warm and filling. The menu was pretty Interestring with lots of American breakfast classics but then also had shakshuka and curry and Mexican dishes. Overall it was great!
Came here for an afternoon pick me up around 1pm on a Friday after walking around the promenade. It was not busy when we arrived so we were seated right away. Since my friend and I had just eaten, we just ordered a couple drinks. Upon walking up, the place had some outdoor seating and some indoor seating with a couple high chair tables inside. The vibes were very cute. Simple yet sleek. We loved the hanging plants. They have 1 all gender restroom for customers only that can only be accessed with a code via keypad. All the tables had tablets with touchscreens to see the menu with photos to order. Looking through the menu, the prices of everything seemed a bit steep but I can tell they use quality ingredients. I got a matcha latte with oat milk and my friend decided to try the sook (mugwort) latte. My matcha latte was delicious. You can taste the good quality matcha without any sweeteners. The sook latte was new to us and we were curious to see how it tasted. Our server was very kind to explain it and felt that if we liked matcha that we would enjoy the sook latte. And after tasting it, we really enjoyed it. It had a good earthy flavor with some hints of vanilla. My friend felt that she enjoyed it much more than matcha and wanted to know what brand of tea they used. The manager was kind enough to share that the mugwort tea was a blend that the house chef grew and put together themself so there was not a specific brand they used. The location is very close to the beach and the promenade so there was some transients outside walking around and parking can be tough but if you're in the area and looking for a cute cafe I'd recommend trying out this place. Also, if you do stop by, don't forget to check in for a chocolate molten cookie.
Cute little spot by the pier! The interior is clean, has lots of pothos plants, and the small space surprisingly does fit a good amount of tables. There's also outdoor seating which looked super comfy! We stopped by hoping to grab breakfast, but their food was a little expensive so we opted for just coffee & hot chocolate instead. Wait time was very minimal! Both drinks were good and the quality of the cups were great.
Had another wonderful brunch here! I love how the menu changes. I had the best shakshuka here! The beef bowl I'd pass on, but I wanted to note that the flavor of the shakshuka was so rich and delicious. The service was also quick and casual. The ocean view is stellar as always.
I recently went with my girlfriend and tried the chicken curry katsu. We both really the flavor of the curry and thought all the flavors blended together. The chicken was also crispy so that was very nice! It was a a cute restaurant and service was rather quick, but I can see how it would be awkward for a first timer going alone.
My friend and I went to Santa Monica for the day, wanted a lunch place. The restaurant is tiny with both indoor outdoor seating. Make reservations on Resy if you want a guaranteed table and time. We came on a Monday at 10:45 a.m. and all the tables were occupied shortly after we sat outside. Intrigued by the lunch menu, A little disappointed, our reservation time was still in the brunch hour. The menu is very different. Service was OK. We sat for a bit without a menu, got the attention of a women who look annoyed when I ask her for a menu. Jordy came over, service was a little better. We had to ask if they served alcohol. We ordered Bloody Mary's to start, which were delicious. Breakfast entrees ordered were the Breakfast Burrito and the Shakshuka. When the food came out it was hot. My Shakushuka was impressive and excellent. The burrito was OK, just that. I will say this place though food was good, the prices are really inflated, $19 for a burrito on a plate, that's it. Mine was $25. Was it worth a revisit at those prices? Sorry no. Atmosphere: cute and small. Service: OK. Food: good but $$$
Quick pit stop before the beach. Chill vibes, kind servers. The food was fine, though nothing exceptional. I appreciated the option to add truffle slices to the dishes. Had the sunrise breakfast. The salad was quite good, and perfectly dressed. The scrambled egg was a tad overcooked but had a nice mild savory flavor. Crispy bacon hit the spot, too.
I came to LA (and spent half a day in Santa Monica) for vacation and to visit my college friends who live in the area. We came to SM for some surfing and before we did that, we wanted to make sure we had some energy. My friend loves the MOVIE Interstellar and thought the pictures for Interstellar looked really good. We really enjoyed the food we got (see photos!). The ingredients were really fresh and I would be happy to eat here and each of the items we got again. The inside is small, and since the weather is really nice, we opted to sit outside. There were about 8 tables outside. It's really cute and we felt so bougie eating brunch here on a random weekday (also surprised there were so many people on a weekday morning - all 8 tables outside were taken). There is only one bathroom and sometimes during our visit, there were like 5 people waiting for the bathroom. The service was okay - I think she was the only one working all the tables so it was a little hard to get her attention at times. Also, the prices were a little steep. I think the overall VALUE is not quite a 5-star for me, and so between value and service, I took off a star. For people on the fence about coming, I would still recommend this place - I think the food will not disappoint!!
Parking: Plenty of Santa Monica public garage parking structures nearby. Experience: We arrived around 12:45 with a group of 6. The restaurant isn't very big, but the hostess kindly made it work by combining 3 tables on the small front patio. Food: Everything on the menu sounded good and it covered all kinds of cuisine. I got the chicken katsu sando. it was really good but kind of expensive even for LA prices - $26 for a small sandwich. If you're looking for a good option near the pier, would recommend.
Tasty molten chocolate chip cookie and matcha latte in a great location by the beach. Food prices were a little steep for a cafe, but options looked great. I was pleased with my matcha and enjoyed my cookie. The place was cute and a nice little stop for me.
So, we totally came across this place through happenstance, and I'm so glad we did. Our hotel had a power outage, so instead of having breakfast there, we decided to explore the town and stumbled upon Interstellar. The place was small, but it had a fantastic design and a vibrant atmosphere. Despite not having a reservation, we only had to wait a short while before getting seated. We found a cozy spot at a table inside. I started my meal with a matcha latte. It was unsweetened but had a great flavor. Honestly everything on the menu sounded delicious, so it was hard to choose, but I ended up going with the french toast and fruit. I'm not even a huge french toast fan, but it was absolutely incredible and loaded with fresh fruit. It was the perfect balance of carb-y and refreshing, and was sooo good. If we had been here longer I definitely would've visited again to try out more of their menu!
Had the most incredible ricotta toast here! It's a quaint little coffee shop minimal seating area with great food options. Good: - Lots of food options - Good coffee and ricotta toast was great size portion - Cozy place for catching up and a modern aesthetic - Fast service Bad: - Expensive end Overall I was a big fan of this brunch spot!
Cut and pasted from Yelp's "From The Business." "Interstellar: the space between the two stars. These two stars represent our two cultures, American and Korean." Quality/Quantity - Avocado Toast - Generous quantity. Well done. Personally I would have preferred a little less arugula. Fresh Ricotta Toast with House Jam - Jam was on the side which actually made the dish even better. We cut this into small pieces and ate it as an appetizer. Oyakodon - Over-sauced, but good flavors and good quantity. Had no left overs. Korean Galbi Bowl - Good flavors, but light on quantity. We could have eaten much more of this. Spicy Cajun Shrimp Bowl - 6 pieces of HUGE shrimp. Had to be at least size 16 or lower! Good flavors, slight kick. But again, over-sauced. Chicken Katsu Curry - Got two entrees of this; good to know our guests have the same taste, LOL. This had the most generous quantity. Dessert - Honey butter toast. Wow, you can really taste the butter in this dish. It was a hit. Glad we shared as it was a fairly good size. Atmosphere - Indoor/outdoor seating. Outdoor dog friendly. Cool modern decor, including the bathroom. Parking garages nearby, first 90 minutes free. But if you pass the 90 minutes, you are paying for the entire time! Service - Good. Except our dishes all came out as they made it. So fresh out of the kitchen, but because we have manners and waited for all the dishes to arrive before eating, the first dishes were cold by the time the last dish came out. My suggestion is to get a warming station and bring out the entire party's food at the same time. Price - Our guest paid again... This is the only person in my life that I can not out maneuver to pay!!! I do NOT think I have paid once going out with them. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2020

I just moved to California for work and spent the day exploring Santa Monica. Decided to grab lunch here with my husband and we tried the BLTA, Avocado Toast and the Cheesecake. To be honest, when I first saw the prices I was surprised at how pricey a sandwich can be, but after trying it I can understand why! The bread was toasted to absolute perfection, and I loved how they didn't have bland fillers and each bite was equally amazing from start to finish. The avocado toast was also delicious and had fresh melted burrata on the bottom (it's hard to tell from just looking at it but you can definitely taste it). It went really well with the arugula and sliced cucumbers that they served it with. Lastly, we shared the Pink guava cheesecake and holy moly it was the best cheesecake I ever tasted! It just melted in my mouth and the subtle taste of guava was amazing. It's not cheap here, but the portions for everything were really generous. I also chatted with the owners who were super friendly, and found out that all of their ingredients are farm fresh, and that the restaurant works with the local farmers market vendors which is pretty cool. The strawberries from the cheesecake were from Harry's berries which I had already heard of. Awesome food and friendly service here, so definitely worth checking out when you're in Santa Monica! read more
Cool & comfy vibe! Friendly service!! Mouth-watering-finger-licking-can't-wait-to-go-back food!!! it is pricey so customer beware but you can walk to the beach afterwards or stroll down 3rd street promenade. And free public parking for a few hours. read more

Great atmosphere, service, coffee, and food!! The Loco Moco was the perfect brunch meal for my taste, I absolutely loved it. We just happened upon this spot while walking around and we're very glad we stopped in. We also had the waffles, bacon, and eggs and even for a simple dish, it went above and beyond. Definitely recommend Interstellar if you're looking for a place to grab a bite in the area! read more

Hands down, one of the best food experiences of had in a long time. We had the luxury of trying a few things and was truly amazed. The chicken wings were crispy and flavorful, the shakshuka tastes better than my own mother's! The ceaser salad was solid. Service was amazing and the owners are so sweet. This is my go to place in santa Monica! read more

The interior and branding of this place is amazing. I can't wait until this whole thing is over and dining in is safe again. In the meantime I'll keep trying different items from the menu. My wife kept it simple, soy marinated burger and truffle fries. It's a simple concept but done really nice. The soy adds extra savoriness and truffle fries are always a good idea. I had the lobster rolls, served on brioche which I understand is from a local bakery. Buttery and lightly sweet, hits the checkmarks. Definitely worth getting, I'm always a little scared to get lobster rolls from fancy looking places because they can often skimp on the actual lobster/size. But in this case I was a little too full afterwards so no complaints here haha. Oh and the coffee. Got a cold brew and I was pleasantly surprised. I asked and was told it was a custom blend specifically for their cold brew. It was lightly acidic and really floral. Cold brew usually avoids having a strong after taste by virtue of the process, but I was impressed by how full of flavor it was. We originally just found this place for food, but now coffee head me has a place another as well If you are looking in the area, put this at the top of the list. Coffee and food are on point. read more

My partner and I stopped by interstellar on a Saturday afternoon. The wait was short and we got a spot outside. The employees were extremely friendly and attentive! We got the chicken katsu curry bowl, a maple orange, and the ricotta toast. We were pretty happy with everything. The chicken curry bowl was a large portion and we added a poached egg. It's definitely comfort food and I would totally eat again! The ricotta toast was thick cut, fluffy, and delicious! I'll definitely be back soon! read more

I went to this place with my mum, sister, and a friend-- and it was one of my favourite meals and dining experiences i've had in such a long time. the atmosphere was unmatched and the food was incredible. I got the chicken katsu curry and it blew me away! So tasty!!! On top of everything, Daniel, our server was the sweetest! He brought us cheesecake (on the house) at the end of our meal and it was hands down the best cheesecake I have ever had in my life. Couldn't recommend this place more-- loved it. read more

Yelp does it again. After a few scans my wife and I decided to give Interstellar a go. And it was the right move for breakfast. Open by 8am, the team were attentive and friendly. A chill vibe in a quaint space on Broadway. Sitting in and outside available. Cappuccino on point and sandwiches made with love and flair...tasty and just right portions. Croissant Sandwich with hash-brown, served hot so mind that first bite. Breakfast sandwich with fig jam hit the spot too. Recommend you stop by...many blessing for the owner and team. read more

Interstellar has so many truffle dishes to try. The dishes are on the pricey and small side, so they're not very shareable. I liked how much truffle they put in our black truffle parmesan fries and truffle linguini, but the amount of truffle oil they had at the bottom of the linguini was so overwhelming. It felt like we had a linguini soup, so I felt pretty sick for the next few hours afterwards. read more

The Breakfast Butter Croissant Sandwich is the best breakfast sandwich we've ever had!! So good that we came here two days in a row during our trip! The chilaquiles was pretty tasty too and definitely had a little spice to it. The service was excellent, super friendly and fast. I'm going to miss this place when we go back home to the Bay! read more

Was stranded at Santa Monica and was looking for a place to eat. Found interstellar and I was genuinely surprised by the quality of the food. Workers are kind and welcoming, and the interior is also eye-catching as well. Only picture I had was the picture I posted on my story, apologies. read more
Came to this cute little spot after reading about them on Eater. The food and drinks did not disappoint!!! The service was excellent and drinks were served quickly. I got a mango cocktail and it was perfectly shaken and served. For food, we got the chicken katsu curry and oyakodon. Both were excellent! Portion size was pretty large too - we had skipped lunch so were starving by dinner time and we were very full and satisfied after our meal here! Oh and the garlic fries were one of best we've had so far with a very generous serving of freshly minced garlic! read more

Good service and a lot of variety on the menu. The restaurant had a good vibe as well. However did not feel the food was flavorful. I had the galbi bowl and could barely taste the sauce in it. Of the four dishes we had at the table only the chicken katsu burger was said to be good. Wished I got that one. Although service was good felt that for the price the food would have been much better. read more

Absolutely delicious food, phenomenal service, and great vibes! Came back twice in one week. The pastries were scrumptious. Highly recommend the strawberry danish and lemon poppyseed muffin. Had the lox bagel, breakfast linguine, BLTA, turkey club sandwich, parmesan truffle fries, and sunrise breakfast. All fabulous choices. The breakfast linguine is one of my favorite dishes ever. They definitely do not skim on the truffles. A must for everyone to try!! read more

Tried this place when we landed into LA and had breakfast. The chicken and waffles were different than others I've had, I really enjoyed the breading on the chicken. The vanilla latte was not too sweet or bitter which was perfect. We sat outside and the small patio was nice and perfect for the weather as well. Would definitely recommend. The only thing was one of the employees seemed to rush to cash us out when she saw we were almost done with our food. read more

Stopped in this cute brunch shop near Santa Monica pier. For a busy Sunday morning my party was able to be seated within 5 minutes without a reservation. As soon as we were seated a server brought us water and gave us a few minutes to review the menu. I had a burger craving so ordered that while my boyfriend got the chilaquiles. The burger was pretty basic for 18$. I tried his entree, which I enjoyed much better than my burger. The enchilada sauce was tasty with the right amount of spice for my liking. If I return I would try something worth more my money. read more

They don't accept reservations for brunch. They do turn tables over pretty quickly, but I would try to get there earlier in the morning to minimize your wait time (especially if you have a larger group).
