Savory Tomato Basil Pancake
Sarah A.

We went for brunch and all got pancakes. It was a very welcoming space. We sat on the patio with our dog and waiter brought out a nice little chicken treat for her! They had savory pancakes on the menu and I knew I would be missing out if I didn't try them. I got the tomato basil savory pancake and it was so good! Pesto was light and the egg was cooked perfectly.

BBQ Chicken Sandwich and German  Potato Salad
Karen L.

It's not often that I'd give a 5 star review for a sandwich but Shoop's European Deli on Main Street in Santa Monica filled my tummy with goodness today. After a visit to Dog Ppl, my friend and I and our two pooches grabbed some lunch at Shoop's. There are many German options, as well as other European treats to choose from. The chocolates, cheeses, and other goods make this a friendly, well-stocked fun place to eat. We shared two sandwiches. The Tuna Melt was delicious and served with yummy coleslaw. We also loved the BBQ Chicken sandwich with grilled chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese, avocado, greens, tomatoes, mayo, and BBQ sauce on ciabatta with the best German Potato Salad that I've ever tasted! I can't wait to back to Shoop to experience breakfast too.

We got here around 12:30PM on a Sunday and they ran out of the smoked salmon :( definitely come here early to get it because it has to be good. We got the bacon pancakes, gravlax and the bacon cheddar scramble. Food was solid all around

Salmon sand which, pancakes, Roast Beef And Swiss
Jennie P.

Came here on a Sunday and there wasn't direction on where to sit or meet host. We were seated after being asked if we would like to order. The roast beef sandwich was really tasty, coleslaw was delicious and Russian dressing complimented the sand which well. Potato salad was delicious, it had bacon and you really tasted the vinegar but overall it was a nice balance. The service wasn't the best, we had to wait to ask for water and we ended up just grabbing our own Togo boxes and went inside to pay. Good food but wish we had better service.

Omelet

Many restaurants boast European style food but Shoop's really brings fusion to LA. Through their smoked salmon, it's a unique cuisine beyond lox bagels. The salmon pancake is a delicious slightly sweet and savory, with the dill sauce on the side. The salmon baguette and the ham omelette are brunch staples they have not failed. The outdoor seating is very relaxed, we got seated immediately and got to enjoy weekend sun. In addition, the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, they are so warm to welcome you and answers questions about the menu. Lastly, the interior of the place is super cool because it's also a pantry store for all sorts of dried and imported goods.

Looking for somewhere to eat in Santa Monica that wouldn't break the bank I found this, but it was quite the walk. We decided to go for it cause who doesn't love a good deli. Stop in the way for coffee and continued on a long walk. It was well worth it There is a line for takeout. Or you could sit down and there was table service. We each got a sandwich and shared half half. The food was fresh delicious and amazing. I was pleasantly surprised by the soft flavorful bread. This is not gourmet or fancy just a solid, good deli sandwich Bravo

Just such lovely sandwiches honestly! You can't go wrong with anything on their menu as every sandwich is fresh and flavorful. My friend and I ordered ahead through a call and we were able to pick up our sandwiches within 20 minutes. It was super easy to do so and our sandwiches were fantastic to-go options. Couldn't be happier with the staff members we interacted with. Everyone was so kind and attentive. I had the chicken pesto sandwich and it was perfect. The pesto was fresh, the chicken was perfectly grilled, and the baguette was just every bread lovers dream. Their portions are definitely hearty, so depending on the day I could eat the sandwich in one go or get two meals out of it.

This place was a surprising find. The white sausage with kraut was LEKKER! Nice outdoor dining & attentive service top off the experience.

This place is amazing. Fabulous smoked salmon, deli favourites....did I mention blueberry pancakes. It stands out on Main Street or for that matter, anywhere. Provides a first class meal that you can always depend on.

The food was decently good . We got the pastrami Swiss sandwich w/ potato salad , the chicken pesto sandwich & the 3 stack of buttermilk pancakes The menu was like a different language to me . A bit over priced . The hot cakes were a bit fluffier than anticipated, but was still really good , pastrami sandwich & pesto sandwich were both delicious . The service was excellent. Everyone was very friendly & kind . The dine in area is kind of small . The outdoor patio is a lot bigger . Parking is on the street . Paid 60 for the plates with a glass of OJ , The OJ was tasty , freshly squeezed . Nice little hidden gem . .

The service was quick, food was amazing, gorgeous Sunday brunch! I ordered the Savory Salmon Pancake and my husband had the Bacon Cheddar Scramble. Both were amazing, highly recommend this location!

Salad & 1/2 Sandwich

This is the only shop where I can find my favorite Bonne Maman cookies. They also have a great selection of German products I loved eating growing up. Great selection of chocolates, Christmas gingerbreads, candies, advent calendars etc ...

I ordered a sandwich. It literally took over 30 minutes and other people who came in after me had their food out first... not cool.

Unfortunately I've moved out of LA County so the nearest Mendocino Farms is about an hour away…read morewithout traffic. Which means I've gone years without it :( I happened to be in the area so I suggested Mendocino Farms for dinner. Words can't describe how much I missed this place. I was so happy to see the offer a 1/2 sandwich and side order. It's perfect for me since I don't eat much. We both got that special. I ordered the 1/2 Chicken caprese sandwich with a small side of spicy couscous. My husband got the 1/2 farm sandwich with a small tomato soup. All of the food was perfection. I'm not a fan of lemonade. Im just not a fan of tart or sour if it isn't candy. However, I saw the guava lemonade and it was a no brainer. Another 10/10. Even my husband loved it. You taste the guava more than the lemonade. My husband ordered the Arnold Farmer and said it was just ok. We loved the patio seating. At night, it's a lovely place for a quick, quiet, bite. Highly recommend!

Great location and usually very fast delivery - high marks there…read more We've had a few issues with hair in food and today there was a bone in the Not So Fried Chicken Sandwich. Not a fun thing to bite into in a sandwich I've easily had at least 30 times. Seems like quality is slipping. Can't even connect when calling it, always get a "call cannot be transferred" message for the last few days. Hoping things turn around - we order from here all the time.

We stopped by Bread Head and it was absolutely worth the visit. It was a little hard to find a seat…read moresince the place was packed and the line was out the door, but that just shows how popular it is. I ordered the mozzarella sandwich with fresh ovoline mozzarella, creamy avocado, crunchy alfalfa sprouts, pickled red onions, and zatar spread on their signature crackly house made focaccia. The sandwich was stacked incredibly high with fresh ingredients and every bite was delicious. The focaccia alone deserves recognition since it was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside. The flavors worked really well together. The portion was huge and it took me about forty minutes to finish because it was so generously loaded. They even gave me a side of avocado at no charge which was a really nice surprise. We also both ordered the homemade lemonade which was to die for and very refreshing. For the quality and portion size the prices are very affordable. They also accept Blackbird which is a great bonus. Amazing sandwiches, fresh ingredients, generous portions, and a fun atmosphere. We will definitely be back before we head home.

staff totally dont care about delivery pick up order not…read morestarted until I arrived always not ready at pick up time Always long waiting time Serving only regular costumer More than 25 min 1 sandwich

May 9, 2026 | Santa Monica | Before seeing a movie nearby, friends, and I stopped in and had a bite…read moreat Tender Greens! Happy Vegan | Absolutely delicious, flavorful, & quite filling! I enjoyed every bite, and the falafel was moist, which I love! Huge portion, and I wasn't able to finish it all, but I wanted to! Haha! Location | Right by 3rd Street Promenade! There is plenty of seating, both inside and outside! I love the lighting! We sat inside, as it was a super windy out! Customer Service | The guy at the counter was so nice while we were ordering, throughout, and even as we were leaving! He also brought our plates out to us with a smile! Good vibes for sure! Overall | Yes, please! I would easily eat here again, if craving Tender Greens!

We really enjoyed our visit to Tender Greens in Santa Monica. The café has a spacious dining area,…read morewhich is actually quite rare for Santa Monica, with plenty of seating inside, plus a nice outdoor patio. The food was tasty and well prepared. The only small note -- the chicken was a bit spicy. We didn't ask about the spice level, and unfortunately the cashier didn't warn us, but overall the quality of the food was still very good. The service was friendly and efficient. Our order was ready in about 15 minutes, even though the café was moderately busy at the time. Prices are reasonable -- you can easily stay under $20 per person. Another big plus is the nearby multi-level parking, which is definitely important in Santa Monica and makes visiting much more convenient. Overall, I would recommend this place and would happily come back again.
