Urth Caffe

Pleasent eatery at the edge of Santa Monica's walkable Main Street district. The earthy feel of the place invites you to slowly sip a coffee and nibble on a breakfast bowl (of which there are many).

Baby Blues BBQ

The very definition of a hole-in-the-wall joint. But their barbecue is amazing. Come for the Memphis Style Ribs, stay for the pulled pork...and the brisket...and the cornbread. Just enjoy.
