Backyard Bowls - Santa Monica

If you’re looking for tasty healthy food, this is the joint. Very good bowl but be wary of bee pollen and honey. Lovely staff, would prefer more indoors seating.

Definitely post-yoga with the girls and gays type vibe. Lots of vegan options, accommodating staff. Updated from previous review on 2022-05-14

I went there for breakfast almost every day during my trip. Their bowls are really good. Just be careful, most reviews mention honey but there IS dairy milk/yogurt in at least one bowl. So if you 're vegan, make sure to double-check the ingredient list. (My point is, the vegetarian tag isn 't ONLY because of the honey, so you still do have to check the ingredients. Also, they put the blender parts in water in between orders, but there is always something left on the one they use to crush the ingredients. So there might be a bit of dairy that ends up mixed in your vegan bowl, if they put it in the blender (I 'm not sure they do . This is just through what I observed, I don 't know if they have different blenders for different things or what ingredients they mix in these, but I thought I should point it out on here just in case it 's really important to you.

Very rude staff that just seemed upset when we wanted to order. we were trying to wait for our food and nobody called it out when it was done. had to ask for a long past and turned out that they simply put the bowls in the refrigerator instead of calling for us.

If they are looking for tasty healthy foods, this is the joint. very good bowl, but be careful with bee pollen and honey. beautiful staff, would prefer more sitting places in the interior.
