Breadblok - Santa Monica

Gluten free bakery with various pastries and lunch options. Came here for an afternoon snack on a Sunday and there was a short line but it moved quickly. There’s two counter seating spots indoors and outdoor tables available. You order at the counter and pay first before sitting. Credit cards are accepted. Street parking available.They were out of pain au chocolat when I was there so instead I got the pumpkin muffin. It was very moist and more filling than I thought it would be. My friend got the chocolate cake, which is less sweet than you may expect, but still good. The people were really nice and the overall atmosphere is lowkey and relaxed.

Love the bread here, especially the chestnut sourdough. I grew up eating traditional German and Scandinavian breads, both in Canada and Europe, and Breadblok's products remind me of many of them. I'm a fan of thick, dense, crusty bread not white, gummy, or fluffy (gf or not). Breadblok absolutely does the trick. Order the turkey club regularly and adore the hot chocolate. Always happy to pay extra for quality sustainable/ethical practices. As things stand in today's world, you can't have it both ways (high quality, sustainable, ethical AND inexpensive). I'll always vote for the former! Well done.

Not for me. I NEED me some gluten. I paid $20 for two croissants, so this place is exceptionally pricey. I can tolerate gluten, but I wanted to try this place; the pastries look delicious and appealing. But unfortunately, in my opinion, this place didn't pass the taste test. No flavor. Are all gluten-free foods taste like this? They do have a nice outdoor seating area. Their bathrooms are clean, and the customer service is good.

Because they have everything gluten free! And don't have to question anything! And it's just the bomb.com!!! Would recommend to my gluten free lovers or have a hard time finding bread!

I was so excited that everything in this bakery is gluten free! I also had lunch there. I went with the turkey club sandwich for lunch and I really enjoyed it. The meat and bacon were high quality. It was a little too much bread for me so I took out the middle piece but definitely like a classic club. There isn't much space to eat indoors, just a small counter with 2 chairs but I was starving and in a rush to get on a work call so I made do with the space. I also got the Chocolate Croissant and the Honey Lavender Cake at the suggestion of the employee that was serving me. I thought both of these were a bit dry but the flavors on both were nice. I'd like to come back and try the quiche, focaccia or donuts next. I love that there is a place like Breadblok that exists!
