What People Are Saying About Shoop's

In Short – Occupying a cozy corner in a low-key mini-mall, this deli draws a bustling crowd of transplanted Europeans and Americans with gourmet tastes. One side is comfy cafe and the other a cornucopia of Continental delicacies--Belgian chocolates, Dutch onions, Swiss spaetzle and jars of Swedish lingonberries. But the main focus is German, offering baked goods, candies and spice mixes for soups. The deli case displays wursts and cheeses, and a small newsstand with German papers also pawns greeting cards.

I love the couple that run this place! Matt & LLonna keep a well stocked deli counter in the middle of the shop with gourmet dry goods in the back and my favorite part, the small open kitchen and eating area on the street front. The place gets busy - that's just another reason I like it - they go through the inventory so quickly everything is always super fresh. You've got to meet Matt - I've always been spoiled there, and with his attention to detail I don't have to worry about what's been properly cleaned or prepared - everything is and always. Mise en place.
- Pros: Super fresh food

Firstly, I don't understand other reviewers complaints about the pricing at Shoops. Their pricing is no worse than that of other LA restaurants and in fact is less than what we're used to. We love the staff. They are always so accommodating, funny, and glad to see us (we stop in once a month or at least try to). Love the food and the store in the back that carries good European treats and food. Only con is that in a 'mom and pop' fashion they only accept cash and we like to use our credit card to get the points - but it doesn't keep us from going there for a good breakfast.
