Bru's Wiffle Santa Monica

Overall, the experience was positive; however, a significant downside regarding the food is that they offer gluten-free chicken and waffles that are not truly gluten-free. They lack dedicated fryers or waffle makers for gluten-free items, which results in cross-contamination. We only discovered this after asking more questions, which was quite disappointing since it was the main reason for our visit. Despite this, the rest of the experience was enjoyable. The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Just be cautious if you have any food allergies.

On my recent visit, my friend and I also shared their EGGS BENEDICT, which offers a choice of smoked salmon, crispy chicken, or Canadian bacon, as well as a vegetarian option with portobello mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach, all served on mini waffles, an English muffin, or a croissant, accompanied by breakfast potatoes or mixed greens for $21.95. This was, hands down, the best eggs benedict I've ever had! We always prefer to sit outside in their back patio, which is dog-friendly, though we did encounter some flies. The noise level indoors can make it hard to have a conversation, so I recommend the outdoor seating. There are many other tempting items on the menu as well! The staff is consistently attentive, quick, and polite. While the prices are standard for the area, I would say they lean toward the higher side. Expect to spend about $30 per person.

Conveniently located on Wilshire with ample street parking, this brunch spot offers pretty standard fare. We were seated and served quickly, and we were impressed by the manager, who was attentive, friendly, and very active! Waffles are a highlight here, as it seemed like nearly everyone around us was ordering the fried chicken and waffles. We tried the Belgian chocolate waffle, but it was just average. Additionally, we felt the portion size was small for the price considering the ambiance of the place. Everything vegetarian on the menu appeared to be a bit pricey for the quantity offered. However, it might be a different experience for meat-eaters.

Good food and easy to bring kids and grown ups alike.

Delicious food and good sized portions. The brus French toast was huge with fruits and peanut butter. The chai latte was one of the best chais I've had.
