    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.

    My company orders lunch for us through forkable and society kitchen was one of our options. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and bit into a huge piece of plastic in my eggs. I let forkables know and they refunded my meal the next day, which was nice even though it still left me with no food to eat that day. I called and left a message with the restaurant to let them know and got no response back. Just silence since last week. They gave no f*cks.

    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.

    Banana Quinoa Bowl

    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

    My delicious choice today!

    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.

    crispy french toast w/ added ricotta 5/5
    Caroline C.

    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.

    Tara B.

    This is a great spot with pretty and airy outdoor seating. I had the vegan breakfast burrito and a Pure Passion signature mocktail.. ingredients are clean and the oil in the fryer is olive instead of crap seed oils. I'll be back. Service is attentive and friendly

    $5 for this!!! Burned bacon side. I had specifically asked for soft bacon. And never expected such a tiny amount for $5!
    Brian G.

    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.

    Breakfast Burrito with Side Avocado Smash and steak (door dashed) nearly $30, good but not worth $30
    Mark G.

    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.

    Cookie butter cinnamon roll
    Isa A.

    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.

    Society Kitchen was a cute restaurant with a decent amount of parking and cute ambiance all throughout. The service was decent and the food was pretty good, specifically the french toast. I'm glad I got to try it!

    Chilaquiles
    Lanae F.

    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. I really enjoyed the French toast, nice and crispy grape flavor.. Chilaquiles were ok. And while the kale smoothie was good it was definitely overpriced at $10.

    The staff were very lovely and the patio seating was perfect on a sunny day. The food was delicious! I had the chilequilles and French toast. Vibes were real chill.

A little on the watery side. Chicken bites came out in about 15 minutes. The coating had a very satisfying crunch, very saucy, but fell off the chicken easily and was a bit salty. This is a messy dish for sure. You will get your hands dirty! Chorizo Benedict came out about 30 minutes after order. Not great honestly. Portion size was generous. The eggs were poached decently, still runny, but the chorizo itself was bland and rather dry. The potatoes were room temperature. The bread a bit too chewy. Not AT ALL spicy. Super light on the pico de gallo. The service was rather slow for not being very busy. They didn't appear to be understaffed either. The location itself is cozy and not too loud, which is nice! Short walk from down town. The staff was kind, but boy were they slow. From being seated to paying for my meal was well over an hour! Automatic 2.5% "service fee" total was $46.50 before tip. I don't think I'll be returning unfortunately. The search for a good Benedict in LA area continues!
