Cute little spot in San Marino. I was craving a good salad and heard this place has delicious options so I decided to give it a try. I got the marketplace salad and was enticed by the onion jam balsamic vinaigrette. The salad was $18! That's pretty expensive for a salad so I was expecting a lot from it. I thought the bowl had a good amount of ingredients, but for $18 I was thinking it could easily be split between two hungry people. It definitely is a personal portion. I thought everything tasted fresh, but I wish the dressing was more oniony. It was made with caramelized onions, but the balsamic overpowered the wonderful flavors of caramelized onions. I personally didn't think there was any...
I appreciated your response so my husband and I decided to come try your Friday Happy Hour which is clearly posted on the main page of your website as being from 3-8pm. Even has a lovely menu. Of course we got there at 4:30pm and you were closed. Several other people were outside confused. I'm just saying someone needs to be paying more attention to your digital properties. If you have to give instructions to someone on how to find the soup of the day- it might be time to find a better way to list it. If you have happy hours posted, you might want to be open. It does not make for a good customer experience.
Surfer J here with another top-notch review! I obviously decided to try the surfer chef’s club sandwich, and it was delicious—loaded with turkey bacon and avocado on perfectly toasted bread. My partner ordered a breakfast burrito, which looked great. I love that they don't charge extra for oat milk in coffee—what a nice touch! I also picked up some mini donuts to take home for my dog, Marley. I’ll share his thoughts later, but he’s not too picky when it comes to donuts. We’ll definitely be back to San Marino Cafe for more good vibes!
Popped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by variety of choices. I'm usually here for their delicious cappuccino and mouth watering pastries . As breakfast is served all day, it was a Bodega Burrito for my companion and vegetarian breakfast sandwich for me Delicious on both counts! Highly recommended if you've time to wait food is freshly prepared . if you're looking for a last minute gift check out the loose teas/halva/wine and/or cookies .

This cafe is fantastic and located in a bustling area of town. The service is friendly and prompt, and both the drinks and food are top-notch. It offers both outdoor patio seating and indoor options. I tried the lentil soup, which was incredibly savory and satisfying, as well as the spicy chai latte, which struck a perfect balance—not too sweet and not overly spicy. It's a wonderful place to unwind and have a conversation. I highly recommend it!
I’ve only had breakfast and lunch at this place, but I really enjoyed it. They offer a fantastic variety of tasty pastries and hot breakfast items, including breakfast burritos and sandwiches. There are a few tables inside and some along the sidewalk for outdoor seating. You’ll need to order at the counter, but the service is quick. They also boast an excellent selection of wines for lunch and dinner. This spot is a true gem in the neighborhood!
After spending several hours at the Huntington we were looking for some lunch and nice place to sit and came across this place. We had sandwiches, salads and lentil soup. Everything was delicious but I think the lentil soup was my favorite. Nice place to sit and eat if you’re in the area.Vegetarian options: Lentil soup was delicious and salads were great too?Parking: Plenty of parking on a Friday afternoon
Wow, I paid almost $150 for a charcuterie board and it was supposed to be for 8 people, but the actual size of it was so small that I'm embarrassed to even bring it to my conference. If you are thinking about buying one of these charcuterie boards from here DON'T, save your money and go somewhere else.

San Marino Cafe is very good. The sandwiches here are well made and are very artisanal. This place is compact and almost feels like you're somewhere in Europe. The only downsides to this place are the high prices (understandably) and it does take some time to get your foodWould recommend.
Very expensive place for some MID food. Do not come here if you value your money. The drinks are also lackluster; one of the worst matcha lattes I've had.
