Monica Café

Came here for a coffee and ended up getting food as well and doing a spontaneous review because it seemed so spectacular! ATMOSPHERE: The cafe has lofted seating and some seating as you walk in as well as additional seating in another side room. They played soft jazz music while I was there. Very quiet, soft conversations. The staff was …

The experience I had in this cafe was fabulous. I ordered eggs on bread and yogurt bowl, they stand out from those in other cafes. The bread was soft and with perfectly balanced moisture. You can have your eggs poached if you like and they were amazing. Coffee was of high quality with amazing flavour. The staff was welcoming and …

Monica Café is honestly one of my favorite spots in town. Everything they serve is top-notch—the lattes are smooth and delicious, the muffins are always fresh (those raised muffins are amazing!), and the smashed eggs on the sesame loaf is such a perfect, feel-good dish. But what really makes this place special are the owners. They’re incredibly friendly and make …

We're pretty spoilt with cafe culture back in Australia, so finding a spot in the US that genuinely delivers is rare. Monica absolutely nails it — hands down the best cafe we came across on our trip. The food was beautiful, the decor has so much character, and the music selection deserves its own mention. Every track just fit the …

Stopped by for breakfast and lunch. Menemen was fresh and perfectly balanced, and the latte was smooth with great flavor and not bitter at all. You can tell they care about quality. The space feels clean and cozy, and the staff was super welcoming. Definitely adding this to my regular morning spots

I had a wonderful experience at Monica Cafe when my friends and I dropped by for breakfast. The breakfast items were not only super delicious but also incredibly fresh. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff treated us with such kindness that we felt right at home. I’m definitely saving this spot for future visits and will happily …

After a jetlagged Flat White yesterday, I had to head back for more coffee & brunch. The base of the smashed eggs is amazing, light, creamy, a perfect balance for the zest that compliments it. The sesame toast is light, but with enough structure to allow you to completely clean your plate. The coffee has strength, but is perfectly soft …

Monica’s Cafe in Santa Monica honestly blew me away. The food was absolutely incredible, with such unique flavor combinations that felt both elevated and comforting at the same time. Every bite of their Turkish Mediterranean dishes took me straight back to my memories of Turkey — it was that authentic and nostalgic. The atmosphere is beautiful and so thoughtfully designed, …

I absolutely love this café. We tried the egg and cheese croissant sandwich and the Mediterranean wrap, and both were incredible. Everything tasted so fresh, and you can really tell the ingredients are high quality. The customer service was just as impressive.. warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. All the great reviews are absolutely deserved. I’ll definitely be coming back to …

One of the main highlights of this place—and the main reason we went—was the Çılbır, and it absolutely delivered. Rich, comforting, and beautifully balanced, it truly stood out. If you’re coming here for one dish, this is the one. We ordered several other items from the menu as well, and everything was top-notch. The menu has a really nice mix …
