Marmalade Cafe

Lobster Thursday was great! Michael the waiter and Tony the chef were fantastic! The open wall dining room was the cherry on top. No, the chocolate lava care was the cherry on top!

Great location, I was told by staff this is the original starting point of Marmalade. ❤️❤️❤️. It's nice and cozy, lots of goodies on display. I enjoyed a warm Oat Bran Mixed Berries muffin. It was amazing. This location has a different menu then other locations I've been too. The seating is not meant for large groups, more like individual seating. Awesome staff, thanks again for a great experience.

In Santa Monica for a few days before I head to downtown LA for a conference and decided to stroll over to this place near my Airbnb. So very glad I did! I went with the smoked salmon Benedict and paired it with a very delicious Aqua Fresca, and I was definitely not disappointed. The poached eggs were perfectly down and the smoked salmon was out of this world. The portion was well worth the price and the potatoes were outstanding too. My Aqua Fresca was quite delicious, and while I almost was tempted to add a shot of rum or vodka, I passed and kept it tame. So very good and fresh! The coffee was good and not so hot that I wasn’t able to drink it right away. I sat at the bar/counter and the service was outstanding. Absolutely loved my breakfast

Very casual eatery. It's a coffee place, a deli, and restaurant! We walked in on a Saturday morning, stood in line, placed our order and paid. We found a table inside although there are a few tables out from on Montana Ave. I ordered the Breakfast Sandwich with their potatoes. My friend ordered the Eggs Benedict with potatoes. We both ordered coffee, which they brought to the table in paper cups. I took half my breakfast sandwich home . The To Go containers are round foil (recyclable) with a plastic clear top (not recyclable). Service was friendly and efficient. Metered street parking.

Nikki was a joy. Helped with menu and makes a great dream. Thanks nikki for the great afternoon

Charming, local restaurant recently relocated from Montana Ave, that features a "Chris Style" Chicken & Waffles that has jalapeño baked into the waffles that are covered with seasonal fruit. Marmalade also has some fresh and tasty baked in-house cookies and scones.

Wonderful little unassuming cafe. Our hotel concierge recommended. Fast and friendly service. Both my husband and I needed help choosing our entrees. Our waiter was unwavering when presented with the two choices we were considering. My husband settled on the paleo breakfast and I settled on the spicy chorizo eggs Benedict. I can’t believe I ate all 3 plus the house potatoes. We highly recommend.

In house dip and mains were unbelievable, the desert didn’t taste freshly made though. We ordered the cheesecake and it was a bit dry. The music was perfect volume, the lights and aesthetic so comfortable and inviting. Our server though was the best part, really fun personality and enthusiastically dealt with our endless questions. She really knew the menu and was authentic, made coming straight from the airport so enjoyable.

Nicki was great. We were celebrating a marriage and she made the day more special for us. Very helpful, kind, funny and friendly. I highly recommend to anyone looking for good food and atmosphere. Thank you Nicki!

First time here and I had high expectations, that were met! I ordered the Corned Beef Hash and it may be the best one I've ever had (and I've had many). The three poached eggs on top were perfect, and the hollandaise made it silky smooth. The coffee was hot and with excellent flavor, and came with refills. I will be back!

Amazing place! They offer a great quality/price food, nice vibe, and amazing service (Nicky is so nice!). Don't miss the happy hour, every day from 3 to 6!

Great breakfast spot, honestly can’t go wrong with anything here but I especially love the breakfast sandwich (which I don’t know if they have it on their menu now since they moved locations in SM), their breakfast tacos, and their big classic breakfast with pancakes. Pro tip, ask to sub the bacon in the breakfast tacos with chorizo 😋😋 one observation I’ve had is that the side of fruit is hit or miss, sometimes it’s perfectly fresh and other times it’s wet and soggy. Doesn’t ruin the rest of the meal though!

A place to enjoy breakfast with your friends. I’ve been here a few times and I have never been disappointed. It can get very crowded but if you’re early you can enjoy a nice quiet atmosphere. The food is good and proportional. The servers are really nice and when I was there for My birthday the manager came to welcome me with a small cake. I love the decor and highly recommended!

I rarely give a good review but this place surprised me with the fantastic service and even better food. The glazed salmon with the broccolini was absolutely delicious. I will be coming back here again. Great beer selection as well.

Our server Nicki was amazing and very personable, the food was delicious, and the drinks were great. Overall I’d definitely recommend

Seemed like there were only 3 servers for the entire place on a Sunday. Nonetheless, it was tasty and was a good visit. Would recommend and visit again

I got the Crab Benedict from their breakfast menu & it was sooo good!!

We came for a family dinner and saw that gluten free options were available. Nikki our server made sure that we who are gluten free were taken care of. Thanks to the back of the house who also made sure that we didn’t get anything with gluten added even tho they were very upfront in saying that they do not have a gluten free kitchen. I had the pot roast and it was fabulous. The those around the table also had the roasted chicken, grilled cheese and tomato bisque. Everyone loved their meal. Thanks again for a wonderful meal.

Marmalade Cafe in Santa Monica is the perfect spot for good food, easy drinks, and catching up with your people. Nicki was our server during and after happy hour on a Saturday, and she absolutely made the experience — warm, attentive, and effortless in all the right ways. The spinach and artichoke dip? Divine. 12/10 recommend.

I was here for a small event. And it was almost perfect until 5pm because we were close to the patio i didn't have any kind of cover up. Food was excellent I tried the shrimp bruchetta and Agua fresca no alcohol. And it was the perfect dish. The service was good. Very attentive. Thank you for that. The only downside was where I parked. Street parking. Not sure if there was anything better. But overall I recommend this place

Food and Service were great but I think something must have been off. This is my partner and I’d first time in LA and we wanted a nice breakfast and really enjoyed our meal here! The huevos rancheros and eggs benedict were delicious!! However something must have been up in the kitchen because not even an hour later he and I were both crazy sick. Hopefully it’s just an off handed thing!!
