something different on Ocean Park

by djdofwla

Ocean Park Blvd needed a place like this - "novel" in every sense of the word. My 4-year old's favorite place for grilled cheese sandwich, and she knows her grilled cheese. I'm vegetarian, and lots of menu selections for any meal. Wait/staff are all very friendly. Don't bother waiting 20 minutes at The Counter, this place has great veg. burger!

• Pros: great vegetarian selection
• Cons: a little pricey

Great Place To Study or Have Lunch

by ItsNotDelivery

I've been to the other Novel Cafes in Santa Monica. This is more like a cafe/restaurant than the coffee/book house on Pier Ave but it is still very good. I see a lot of people going for lunch and dinner during the day, or stopping by in the morning for a quick cup of coffee/latte. The ambience is quite nice, again very different from the other two. I ate breakfast there, even though it was 2pm. Good eggs, great potatoes. I saw them bring out salads and burgers that looked INCREDIBLE though. So I guess that I am going back for those soon. Friendly wait staff and a really nice patio to eat out on during your lunch break. Highly recommend.

• Pros: Fast Service, great food, nice alternative
• Cons: Probably wouldn't study here.
