Shoop’s European Market & Café — Santa Monica

West L.A. is awash in brunch spots — and Shoop’s, owned by Matt & Llonna Shoop, is one of the greats. Their menu includes Nordic gravlax and German frankfurters and weisswurst. If you’re craving something more on the traditional side, there are plenty of breakfast sammies, wraps, and pancakes (even bacon-filled ones!) to fill you up.

Need snacks for later? Wander through their mini-market filled with European pantry staples and sweets or check out their deli case for great German deli meats and cheeses.
