Blueys Santa Monica - Santa Monica, California

Needed a spot nearby for brunch and this was highly recommended by a local resident as a "hidden gem". We ordered and found a spot outside in the shade though they have seating inside too. Coffee was decent and the breakfast chorizo hit the spot. My brunch partner was impressed with the hot sauce which turns out is their own brand though they had 2 others if it's not to your liking.

A cute little hidden spot for a nice breakfast/brunch.

There is parking in the front, but I’m never sure if we are really allowed to use it.

Here you need to get in line to order your food and they will bring it to you after.
The place can be crowded and you could wait some time, but there is a lot of space to sit around.

It is very chill.
There are a lot of options to choose from. I’ve tried a few things.
This time, we got the Fried Egg Sandwich and the Bluey’s Burger.
The sandwich is good with its sauce but gets very messy so just be prepared.
Their fries are good. I have never tried the burger but was told it is good.

I have tried their peanut butter shake, which I really enjoyed!

Overall, the food is enjoyable and you get to sit outside. So, I would recommend this place for the overall experience and chill vibe.

Get out of town, that was good! Or don't; actually, stay in town and eat at Bluey's! We're visiting and needed a "local" spot near the beach in Santa Monica. Bluey's was exactly what we were looking for! Very fresh and tasty breakfast. Super cool location too - tucked back in some old warehouses. We recommend it!

"Tribeca" vibes. Very cool. 3 stars for service only because it is not a table service place. No waiters, you just order at the counter and take your number. Otherwise, fantastic experience.

This location is right by the beach with limited parking nearby especially on a Thursday in the morning as most signs state street cleaning from 8am-10am. We came here around 9:45am so right before the time ended. The location is very busy as you can see in the photos so we were seated outside which is nice as there are tables, chairs and benches. The food was an incredible American bistro and the sweet squash pancakes were crunchy and just right. The location is beautiful, up-kept and clean and a great place to work and enjoy your breakfast as this location was rather quiet despite how busy! It's also a great place to eat outside with your pups as most dog owners would come by for breakfast!

Amazing tasty food. Good service. The vegan pancakes are to die for. The fries are really good too.

Amazing location with parking so good it felt like winning the lottery in LA. Tons of outdoor seating, which is perfect if you like fresh air or have kids who need space to wiggle around without judgment. The ambiance? Chef’s kiss—family-friendly, yet cool enough to feel like you’re winning at life.

Now, let’s talk food. The squash pancakes were so good, they made me question why I’ve been ignoring squash all these years. The smash burger was excellent, and the breakfast burrito? A solid choice. My only tiny gripe? The bun on the burger came out a little cold. Could it have been the weather? Maybe. Or was it because I secretly like my buns flirting with the edge of burnt? Definitely possible.

Overall, this spot is fantastic. Bring your appetite, your kids, and your parking karma—you won’t regret it.

I've loved this place for years. Great food, great drinks, and my favorite place to bring guests visiting LA. I love that they have vegan meat, vegan milks, and gluten free bread options (in addition to the usual things for my meat, gluten, and dairy loving friends). I love that you go right up and order (instead of waiting for a waiter), and can enjoy the breeze outside or inside.
