Mama's Kiss CAFE — Restaurant in Santa Monica

I placed an order on Uber Eats for pickup today at 2:45 and since they didn’t have my food options I just substituted some things before 3:00, no big deal.

I’m literally walking in to pick it up and the guy goes “oh your order was cancelled” and when I asked why he just said “I don’t know.” He was the only one working there so I know he just cancelled my order to hopefully close early; everything was cleaned up and the music was off and there was still another hour till closing and the cafe is small so I assumed he thought since it was Uber that there would be no consequences to declining my order since I wasn’t there in person.

I ordered anyways and he burned the bread for my salmon toast. All he did was put the smear on the side that was burnt so I wouldn’t notice till after I left (I got takeout) and the chai late just tasted like milk. My whole purchase was $35 dollars and I was trying to get it on Uber eats pickup because I had a discount that would have cost me half of what I paid in person, and if you’re a college student, you know how much of a different almost 20 dollars can make.

Okay food, poor work ethic of staff, do not recommend and there are much better coffee shops nearby, I just wish they were open as late...

It is our first time coming here, we wanted to stop by before going to our appointment a block away from here. We got here 25 minutes prior of our appointment. There was no customer before us, it was empty so I assumed the service will be fast. I was so disappointed with the service. The guy in the counter took our order and it seems like he doesn’t know what to answer when I ask questions about their drinks. We proceeded with ordering 1 latte, 2 egg sandwiches, 1 salmon toast and 1 croissant. After I paid receipt was not given nor was not ask if the order was to go or dine in. He was able to prepare the latte and heat up almond croissant less than 5 minutes, as he was serving I was letting him know it was to go for all the order. We waited for more than 25 minutes to get our order and we were late for our appointment because of waiting for our order to be ready. As he was handing our order to us, he almost forgot the almond croissant and if I didn’t double check with him if the croissant was there, he probably would have forgot to give it to us. The croissant was cold and hard but the rest of the food is good. The price of the food...

Being new to the neighborhood, I’ve been on the hunt for my coffee shop. Nothing in the area was either close enough or gave me what I wanted. When I walked into Fig & Bean the owner greeted me with a smile and was super friendly. I told him I was going to be on a call in 2 minutes so he made me my drink and croissant and delivered it to me personally so I could attend the meeting on time.

Good WiFi and good spot for getting a little work done with indoor and outdoor options.

The atmosphere is chic, the food is bomb, I’m vegetarian so the menu had plenty for me and the coffee was delicious.

Can’t...
