Blueys Santa Monica

This was a surprise Gem! Brief & thoughtful menu with gluten free options for me. The space is a little industrial looking, but I guess that’s cool these days? It was a little busy, but it only took a few minutes for I find parking, which was free, and we didn’t wait long to order at the counter or for our food to be delivered to our table. The seating picnic tables outside, which was perfect in a sunny LA day. The table was pretty dirty. Nobody came to clean, so we got napkins and cleaned it ourselves. Everything we ordered was good. They managed to make the cauliflower rice in the grain bowl delicious. The gluten free squash pancakes were heaven. (Ask for another serving of syrup and skip the sweetened avocado). Oh and did I say I’m gluten free? The GF items were thoughtful and intentional…not your average consolation prize plate that they offer at so many places. As we were finishing up, a line had formed and people were waiting for a place to sit. We offered the people hovering over us if they’d like to join us, but they declined. (Maybe it’s not that kind of crowd?)

Great gluten free options from bread on sandwiches to gf pancakes, the staff was educated and informed about gf. Bread was great and pancakes were so good!!
