    Breakfast Burrito
    Jawana M.

    Trying this spot for the first time. I appreciate the staff giving opinions on the food (recommendations on one meal vs. another), as opposed to the generic "everything is excellent". Overall very friendly and helpful customer service. Loved the outdoor seating options. Felt separate from the other restaurants and the street traffic despite being so close to the sidewalk. Clean tables (bird free) and metal chairs (no padding - if you care about that). Food: BREAKFAST BURRITO ($16 + $5 extras) Not bad. I would have liked a little more seasoned flavor overall to make it more cohesive in the bites. But I understand each ingredient has an individual bland taste, so the only option would be to season the eggs. Something in the burrito had a slightly salty taste to it. That may have come from the avocado or the turkey bacon. But without the turkey bacon or the avocado, this would just be a burrito with eggs and tater tots. Ingredients... Scrambled eggs, green onions, monterey jack cheese, tater tots, flour tortilla with choice of ranchero salsa. Added avocado smash (+$2) and turkey bacon (+$3) Drink: DEEP ROOTED ($10.5) This presentation was everything! So beautifully lavender in color and creamy flavor. If you enjoy espresso, this is a great drink to order that has a creamy taste that's not overwhelmingly sweet but compliments the coffee. Ingredients... espresso, coconut, ube (sweet potato) used coconut milk. The price to item ratio is a bit much, so should be taken into consideration. I would come back to try some other items on the menu if I'm in the area.

    Society Kitchen is a wonderful breakfast spot! The staff were very kind and attentive, even offering me a refill of my regular coffee. The service was excellent, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The breakfast burrito was especially tasty with its great sauce, and the passion fruit drink was refreshing and beautifully presented. I would definitely come back!

    Amanda

    Wow!!! Very very delicious. We got the hot honey chicken burrito (literally could not recommend this more... the combination of flavors were AMAZING), a cheeseburger and a biscoff cinnamon roll. They truly know how to do brunch here!! Not to mention the staff were also so kind!

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Banana Quinoa Bowl
    Miya S.

    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

    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.

    $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.

    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

    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.

We were lucky enough to find a metered street spot directly in front of the restaurant and did not have to wait long at all for our Saturday morning brunch for a table of two. Our server was also very polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. I started off with the Iced Maple Latte and thought it was really nice. It was a really sweet treat and I enjoyed it. For my breakfast, I chose the Eggs Benedict with the Sujuk sausage and added avocado and croissant. It was one of the best combos I've had in a long time and I am already eager to go back again to get it.

We agreed to outside patio seating at tall seats which is more than fine. but we were sat at a shared table with a family which is fine when you have context that you are doing so, but i spent the beginning of the morning listening to two different children play of their phones blasting the sound. additionally both the seats we were in were directly in the sun which for me is fine but my bf burns very easily. but okay fine, it is what it is. We politely waited until the table next to us emptied, and then told the waitress we would like to move because the sun. She said we would need to wait and she would need to check. And then came back and told us they were too busy. We watched the seat we wanted to sit in be empty until we asked for boxes for our food. We watched another table stay empty until we left. The waitress never introduced herself either. Additionally, no one checked up on us during the entire meal. Usually any sit down restaurant would ask how your meal is. No one did. we weren't even given silverware when our meals arrived. we had to go get them ourselves. We had to ask for boxes after sitting and waiting for anyone to check in. We separately had to call out to the oblivious waitress to even pay, as she was standing out there just looking around. The food was great, like i wish we would have had cash to tip the cooks themselves bc the food was really good. But Ive attached photos of the food (great!) and photos of the many empty tables that made them sooo busy they cldnt accommodate the paying costumers that already ordered. my boyfriend and I have both worked in the service industry before. But i would just say that they had horrible service which can ruin a perfectly good meal. I hope if the owner is the one I met at the door, he considers getting new waitresses .

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!
