[[HIGHLIGHT]]We were looking for a dog friendly breakfast spot where we could kill time near our vet's office, and this place worked out great. They offer both outdoor and indoor dining, and dogs are even allowed inside, which was a huge plus for us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We almost didn't stop in because when we called, the person who answered said they only had pork bacon for breakfast. We decided to walk over anyway and check out the menu for ourselves. When I asked about the quiche, they mentioned they had a turkey bacon quiche available, so we decided to stay. My husband ordered the burrito. It didn't come with any sides, and he said it was a little small, but with the coffee and mimosa it ended up being filling enough. I had the quiche, which was tasty, and it came with a choice of plain yogurt, fruit, or salad. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return when we're in the area. read more

We tried out this spot while in the area and it was a good choice! The service was great and they were all really nice. We sat outside and it wasn't too noisy despite being next to the street. We tried their 2 egg breakfast, pepperoni pizza and both tasted great. Not too salty and well portioned. The coffee was my favorite part with a macchiato and latte setting us up for a productive day. We will definitely visit again if we're in the area! read more

We came across this cute spot that was exactly what we were looking for. The staff was very friendly, the service was great. We got our food at a pretty decent timing, made fresh to order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing we wished they had was a restroom, but other than that the food was delicious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It felt so fulfilling and we felt good afterwards, the food isn't heavy at all and you can tell the owners were mindful with their menu. Overall we were very pleased being that it was our first time trying out this place. We ordered an egg white sandwich, which came with avocado and a side arugula salad. We also ordered a Burrito Kurito, the bacon and sauce it came with was so delicious, it had a little bit of a kick to it. We were also so lucky enough to receive complimentary dark chocolate almonds. (How did she know it was my fave?!) read more

KafeK was AMAZING!! Staff was so nice and polite. Best meal in a long time. We shared the poached egg breakfast and waffles, each meal to die for. Fresh ingredients all the way around.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved this gem of a casual sidewalk cafe with reasonable prices.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I liked the planter boxes so much that I am going to replicate this look chez moi![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Opted for the poached eggs ($17) that came with two eggs, cheese on bread, tomato, avocado, red onion, pesto sauce, and salad topping. The owner adds a personal touch and provided great service. I dig their brewed coffee too, you can tell it is quality! read more

Kafe K - Lots of seating outdoors - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Probably the best Americano I've ever had. I'm used to an Americano that is a lot more watered down. I got a double shot Americano and it was almost like a very large espresso. The flavor was perfect. Rich and bold without excessive bitterness. I asked for a splash of soy like I normally do with Americano or drip to combat any bitterness. They actually made a small pot of frothy soy milk on the side (no additional charge). But I really didn't need it or sugar because the Americano was so smooth. They also gave me a few chocolate almonds to munch on. Didn't need it but the gesture was appreciated. i definitely felt good vibes from the people here. Will definitely be back. read more

The coffee tasted great and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the set up was lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chicken Panini and egg white sandwich were both a nine out of 10 and tasted delicious and light, not too greasy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was nice with a nice ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Nice neighborhood cafe spot in Santa Monica and a short walk from the beach. Great meeting place for coffee or food with indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the Open Sandwich, which is fresh mozzerella, tomato, avocado and pesto on a baguette. Overall the sandwich was delicious and fresh. If only they had a cafe like this in DTLA. read more

Small café with a nice variety on the menu. The food was good and the service was great. The margherita pizza (7/10) was more like a regular cheese pizza; it didn't have the fresh mozzarella, just regular cheese on top. With that said, it was still a tasty pizza. The crust was SUPER thin, like a tortilla, but still managed to be nice and crispy. I highly recommend the fresh lemonade. 9/10 I used my Yelp check-in to get the lemonade instead of the beer/wine which they were offering, and they were happy to accommodate. read more

We got off an early morning flight to LA and needed to find a spot to do work for a few hours. Kafe K is the perfect place to chill or knock out a few emails. They have a great coffee and drink selection so I was able to get all my beverages in. I had the omelette with bacon, feta and tomato and it was just the perfect breakfast. Props to the nice outdoor seating and even nicer staff. read more

Wow, I'm so glad I discovered Kafe K! There are tons of gluten free options, but beware gf bread is in a shared toaster so if you're celiac like me, it's not recommended. The owner was so nice & accommodating and said he could still do something with bread for me but not toast it; it just wouldn't taste as good because it wouldn't be warm. I decided to go with an omelette, and I asked if he could sub the bread for fruit and he said no problem! I looked to the right and saw GLUTEN FREE MADELEINES. I've been gluten free for 11 years now and have never seen or had one...I almost teared up! It was very yummy and the omelette was yummy too. I sat on the patio which is so cute and I loved people watching on a nice sunny day. Great experience and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

The food at Kafe K is so yummy!

The couple that runs this place is very sweet as well. Thanks for the complimentary Kombuchas!! The next time we are in Santa Monica for brunch, we'll come by! read more

Service and kindness goes a long way. Needs improvement. Employees act too busy to even look you in the face when they're speaking to you.

2.5 stars This place is popping on a Sunday morning on July 4th, 2021. The owner seems overwhelmed and not thrilled to be here. The açaí bowl is $15. They are out of pitaya. So crowded full of bicyclists and kids. I miss social distancing!! Lol. I waited 31 minutes for my soupy açaí bowl and it was definitely unimpressive. The gluten free granola was hard and the açaí was runny and goopy. The blueberries were few and far between. I am surprised at all the good reviews. After waiting 31 minutes, the owner and his wife kind of apologized, more her than him. read more

Like Renee Zellweger said to Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire, "You had me at hello," KAFE K had me at the first bite! Their food is uniquely delicious! The seasonings immediately arrest your taste buds. I took KAFE K menus to work at the nearby courthouse, brought breakfast to couple co-workers and after the first bite they were raving about how delicious the food is telling me they are going there. Owner Nino is very nice as well as the workers. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND KAFE K to everyone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a great setup, worth the trip, worth the meal![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't doubt, GO EAT!!! Watch out, they'll make a regular customer out of you! Happy & thankful customer Charmain Campbell read more

Kafe K, consistent great service. I've only gone in for breakfast & chai! So Good! Thank you for being apart of my morning routine!

Boo. I knew as soon as we sat down that this was the type of place that looked like a health food spot online but in reality was just trying to be a tourist attraction. It's insanely overpriced. $18 for an anemic bagel with one strip of lox. The oatmeal was insanely sweet. The coffee was mediocre. I regretted the decision as soon as we sat down. But regretted it even more when our food came. The regretted it again once the bill came. read more

Very nice employees! I sat inside, but there is also outside seating. I had a very yummy Margherita pizza and a cup of coffee. Their desserts looked delicious, but I was too full. I will definitely be going back! read more

Literally the worst matcha I've ever had. My friends latte was super watered down too. I asked the guy if it was high quality matcha and he said "I love matcha it's organic ceremonial grade" - BS and was straight water, very little matcha, and milk. read more

Was looking for a quick breakfast option but lines were long at other place and I ended up here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It seemed more like a sit down experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was pleasantly surprised! Ordered the breakfast burrito to go. I had the dogs in the car so asked for an estimate on time so I could pop back in and grab it. The cashier offered to walk it to the car and wouldn't take no for an answer. 12/10 customer service! Burrito was bomb, too. read more

Pretty solid - healthy - breakfast joint. I just did an awesome workout and was feeling motivated. Wanted something healthy and Kafe K hit the spot. I got the avacado toast with a fresh orange juice. Very good. The pulp in the OJ was very prevalent - definitely too much. And one of my pieces of toast was the heel - so that was weird. But as far as taste and service, it was great. read more

I don't get to Santa Monica often, 2 or 3 times a month and was cruising around looking for a coffee shop where i wouldn't have to pay $15 for parking just to get a coffee and a snack. Found this place, KafeK on accident, so glad i did! It's so good I'd consider a special trip! I really think it was one of the best coffees I ever had, and the Lemon Almond tart was insane. Super friendly service and free parking on a side street just steps away. Love this spot. I'm so glad I discovered it. read more
