Big portion, plenty of choices on the menu. One of the good breakfast spots in SM. Would definitely recommend.

Went there this morning for Sunday brunch and it was an awful experience. Firstly, the food quality was just terrible. The bacon was burnt, the lattes - just blah. I don't understand how you could even plate bacon looking the way it did. To top it all off, one of the servers spilled syrup all over my husband's pants. Sure, accidents happen and we were told we would receive a discount. The discount was a local 10% which was like $4. Just ridiculous. We've been to the marmalade branch in El Segundo and found it to be okay - so decided to give this one a try. But this is a huge turn off we will be staying away altogether.

I love this place. We were up early and googled breakfast locations and found this gem. We arrived like 10 minutes before official open and were welcomed in. The food was amazing and drinks were refreshing and good. Definitely going back during my next trip west.

Really poor place. Had only 2 staff working (1 waiter, 1 chef) so the wait was very long - that said, they did a good job considering the pressure they must have been under.

The food was massively underwhelming. No taste at all to the salmon or florentine benedict dishes. Side of fruit had some mold on it.

My friends and i got the lamb burger and they had no seasoning on it at all.

But although it might've been a one off thing... 4/8 of us got a stomach virus after eating here. Called the staff to inform them and they didn't seem to be pretty concerned about it tbh 😅

For breakfast in Santa Monica this place was okay not wow .. the service was wowwww to be honest .. they were super busy but they didn’t forgot to smile and be kind .. I ordered a short rib hash I loved the tittle and concept but didn’t love the food itself too much pepper and the most important ingredient of the has that are the potatoes were undercooked so not acceptable..

Very embarrassing! Unacceptable! My friend and I went there today for breakfast. We were sat and waited and waited and waited for anyone to come and serve us. The servers looks at us but keep passing us. We sat there for at least 30min and no one even offered for a water. Finally, the manager noticed that we have been there for long time with no one to serve us. She asked us if we were helped. We said no and she took our order. What made me upset is that the fact they weren't even busy at all. As soon as another white families sat, the servers of course went to them and served them. May be the servers thought we were going to tip them, but it was an embarrassing situation I've ever been to. I see the servers going up and down. They saw us from the moment we were sat. All of them avoided us. I had to cancel the order and leave. If you don't want a certain type of people to come to your restaurant, say so! I won't waste my time. Never again at your place. Never felt such humiliation at any restaurant.

I was excited to try this place because of the good review. I ordered on DoorDash, i ordered the crab Benedict in which the egg was not runny. The French toast was just toast with maple syrup which didn't look like what anything other people posted. Can't tell if it's because of DoorDash or the restaurant

The slowest service. Took 20 mins for someone to come by to ask us for our drinks and by then we already knew what we wanted to eat. We had 4 different servers throughout our meal (which took 2 hrs because of how slow they tended to us) and they kept forgetting about us. Between asking for our check and getting our recipets, it was about 35mins. We had to flag down another server to come take our cards to pay for the food. It wasn't even busy, half the tables were empty. The food itself was pretty decent, but I definitely don't plan to come back.

I really wanted to like this place as it’s so close to where we live. Came for happy hour, which is from 3pm-6pm everyday. We got the tuna tartare, crab cake, mac and cheese bites and portobello fries as well as the raspberry lemon drop martini and a spicy margarita.

We enjoyed the portobello fries and the tartar sauce that comes with the fries and the crab cake is amazing. The rest wasn’t great. The Mac and cheese was cold and the batter it’s dipped into wasn’t fully cooked and didn’t taste like much, the crab cake was also bland. The tuna tartar wasn’t cold and that was off putting. The drinks were ok, my raspberry lemon drop had a salt rim and not a sugar rim and it wasn’t very pleasant. The spicy margarita was great. Also, apparently they don’t have their liquor license so all the vodka, tequila and whiskey is mixed with soju..which we didn’t know until we were leaving since it doesn’t say that anywhere on their menus, which it should.

I’ll give this place another try with their other menus as I’ve heard their breakfast is good. Hoping they can fix these issues and be more transparent on the mixing of soju in with their liquors.

Super cute vibe, friendly staff, with fantastic food!
Everything was so good! My sister loved the pineapple upside pancakes and said they were worth the wait (about 20 minutes).
The regular buttermilk pancakes were thick and fluffy and flavorful, cooked perfectly!
Chai Latte was the best one I've had all vacation.

They closed there old place and they moved 3 minutes away and when we got there it took 10 minutes to be seated but we didn’t know and no one said anything. We used to go every week on the weekends to their old place but now we are not going anymore.Eventually when we were seated we were seated by a bus boy and he smelled like alcohol, what I think is that if u guys are going to open in a bigger place u should hire more people. We were just sitting there waiting for a waiter to take our order n no one came at all. We were there for 25 mins. They took a lot of good food off the menu . They took my favorite sandwich off the menu. I have a lot of good things to say but this new location and new servers isn’t it .We are not coming back. We didn’t even get to eat anything.The only thing we had was coffee and orange juice

Not your Mom’s Marmalade and too bad. Would have really liked to have an old school Marmalade a walk from the office. Bummer its mediocre at best. I would have been open to a return visit to try another dish if the service was decent. But fell short on every level so no hope I’m afraid.

Our first full day in Santa Monica and we visited Marmalade for brunch as it is steps from where we’re staying - and we’re so glad we did! From the moment we arrived and were greeted by our waiter; Lucas, we could just tell it was going to be a great experience. The location, atmosphere, service, the food (delicious!); everything was so great! We’ll be back to sample from their dinner menu on another day. Thank you Lucas and Marmalade for an amazing experience!

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!

Food is obviously very fresh and high quality...but the service...it's been 2 days and I can't remember if her name was Vicky or Nicky but holy cow is she amazing. If I lived in LA I would def come back to this place, but because of her, I would've come back every day! Whatever they are paying her, DOUBLE IT!
Super personable, great energy, and knows the food well; you'd think that she was the owner!

The restaurant was completely disorganized. Things like a toasted bagel and coffee took 30 mins, I ordered a lox plate - got the lox almost immediately but had to ask several times for the bagel, as if they didn’t realize I was missing it. We ordered two single pancakes, they came out on one plate. I totally understand getting behind on orders during a busy time. But the fact that everything came out out of order and the onus was on us to keep chasing the staff for missing items was kind of ridiculous. The worst part was, this wasn’t just our experience, most customers seemed to be equally as frustrated. Hopefully this was a fluke and not the standard.

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.

Food was alright but a bit over priced I thought. They are open early though so if you roll in to town early & need a coffee & bite to eat, it works.

Avacado Toast 🥑 was great, the perfect amount of food. Hadn't had oatcakes before, they were a different consistency than pancakes - a bit lighter but yummy. The standout was the fantastic fresh JUICE.

They should be ashamed of themselves. When Breakfast by Salt's Cure opened two doors down, suddenly Marmalade Cafe started serving oatmeal pancakes which is what Breakfast specializes in. With Marmalades full menu, why do they feel a need to try to take away business from a new neighbor? Really disappointing! And by the way, Breakfast still has a way better oatmeal griddle cake ... Way better

Be wise enough to thank God for not giving you some of the things you've asked for and gracious enough to gratefully enjoy what He gave you in its place. Lord, You know better than I what is right and best for me.
If you are not happy with what you have, how will you be happy with what you want to have? Lord, may I appreciate the good things in my life and refuse to feel sorry for myself or compare myself to others.

This place has great food. The soup/salad combo M-F 3-5 is a steal. You basically get the salad for free. The staff is very friendly as well.
