In Short
Chatty owner Mason is often on-hand to greet diners at this bite-sized eatery creating a friendly neighborhood vibe. A health-centric menu filled with mostly organic and homegrown fare features starters such as mixed green salads, crab cakes and daily-changing soups. Popular entrees are macaroni and cheese, free-range, skinless, fried chicken and slow-roasted beef. Among the many vegetarian selections are hot-pressed, grilled veggie sandwiches and Parmesan herb-crusted tofu; the menu provides notes like "vegan," "high protein" and "good fat."

I had a very tasty omlette here- it was made from egg whites that came from organic chicken- I assume, since the place is additive-free. The prices weren't bad- I paid about $15. They have refreshing fruit water that is a must-try!

The food's good, though misleading. The "guilt free" fried chicken salad is made with less breading, but still fried. I can make my own baked fried chicken for considerably less calories, but still, theirs is delicious. However, the horrendous service I have received on numerous occasions finally lead me to stop going there. I called in an order for 2 guilt free fried chicken salads, and went to pick them up 15 minutes later, as instructed. When I got there, the girl behind the counter (the only one working) gave me the wrong salads and when I told her that, she said, "Are you sure?" and I said yes, and she asked if I had talked to her, and I said I called in 15 minutes ago, so whoever answered the phone, and she said yes, that was me. So they said they'd remake them. I went and sat and read the onion while I waited, and 15 minutes later she walked by and noticed me there and said "Oh! You're here! We can either make you the new salads or give you the old ones for free" and I said no, make me the new salads please. (she had walked by me 3 times already. and it's not like i was hidden behind a plant or anything, I was sitting in th eopen) I waited ANOTHER 15 minutes while they made them, then she charged me for them, and i walked back to my car....only to realize that she didn't include the dressing. So I had to go BACK to get it. Never once did she apologize. I brought the salad to my friend, told him the story, and he said he'd had the same problem. No matter how good the food is, it's not worth the headache.

I've been going to Mason Jar for over a year for bruch. Initally, the great food and fresh squeezed apple juice made up for the lousy service, but the food continues to slide downhill, they no longer serve fresh apple juice, they no longer offer soy cheese, and service is still lousy. The breakfast food all has a sheen from the extravagant use of oil in all their cooking. This place is not for the health conscoius or people who prefer their service prompt and friendly.

What to Drink:
No alcohol is served, but there are many teas, coffees and supplement-packed juice drinks made with fresh fruits, vegetables, ice and low-fat yogurt.
Know Before You Go:
Better think twice before ordering that large refill of Secret Garden veggie juice: There aren't any restroom facilities.
Parking:
See a vacant street meter? Grab it. On the south side of Santa Monica, the cafe is away from construction, but doesn't have a parking lot.
