Breakfast in Santa Monica
My husband and I are in LA for five days staying in Santa Monica. Any good recommendations for breakfast?

Cafe Crepe. It's near the promenade, and it's great.

Urth Cafe on Main St. (Great croissants, expect a line and possibly a wait if you're eating in.)
The Sunday Farmer's Market (2640 Main St.). Get an omlette, pastry or tamale, listen to music and chill out.
The Deli at Broadway & 3rd (love the chocolate brioche and also the croissants)
If you're a light eater, you can make a meal from the Wednesday Farmer's Market (Arizona & 2nd) and Saturday Farmer's Market (Arizona & 3rd).
Santa Monica's a big town. Where are you staying?

This is in Venice (but fairly close to Santa Monica), but I like Rose Cafe. I've eaten there a couple times for brunch/lunch and have enjoyed the food and the relaxed vibe. They have a to-go counter and a bakery (I think)... I've only been in for sit-down meals.

Thanks! We're staying with family at 20th and San Vicente - am thinking of checking out the options at the Brentwood Country Mart tomorrow - went to the Rose Cafe today - wonderful!

You're a ways away from the restaurants I originally suggested, but if you have a car I'd suggest heading toward the water and some of the locations I originally recommended. You're fairly close to Montana, which has some great restaurants (though I've never tried any of them for breakfast). Head to Montana and about 15th...it's a wonderful area to wander about.

When I was housesitting for a friend in Santa Monica, we often walked over for breakfast in Venice. I loved 3 Square Bakery (went multiple times) and brunch at Joe's. My friend wanted me to try Jin Patisserie, but I kept going back to 3 Square. There's a lot of great stuff on Abbot Kinney.

i always liked world cafe on main street - the garden is really nice and the food's pretty good (been there for brunch and dinner - if you do dinner, the cocktails are served in fish bowls, as i recall)
