    I was waiting in a hella long line (Maisel Day) & I had folks near me willing to hold my place in line as I went on a coffee/tea run.

    They had a lavender latte there and... oh my god so many options of milk. They also had CBD drinks and add ons.

    I wish I'd had more time there. I got my lavender latte with oat milk (they even had Oatly- eff yes) and was bummed as I saw that they'd also had Tumeric golden lattes there too but have a reason to come back and check out the TONS of options they have over there.

    Hell to the yes please & thank you.

    This was my first time visiting Bardonna. I live locally in Santa Monica and am always looking for new breakfast places, but rarely venture up Montana. However, I've driven by this place a few times and figured it was time to give it a shot. Unfortunately, that was a mistake lol. I wish I could give you a review on the quality of the food, but I never received it. I ordered the Greek breakfast bowl and a cup of drip coffee. After 20 minutes of waiting for my food, I went to see what was taking so long (it was not busy by any means). When I gave one of the associates my order number he checked the kitchen, but seemed confused because there was nothing they were working on with that number. Finally he asked the person who took my order and they said it would be right out. My guess is they had never started making it. I waited 10 more minutes and nothing. At that point I had to leave and told them to just forget about it. They issued me a refund which was nice I guess. I'll give it two stars just because of the location. Next time I will just go across the way to Cafe Zella.

    P.s. For all you clout chasers out there, this is a good spot to take pictures for your ig, but don't expect to get your food anytime soon

    Local Israeli cafe with breakfast choices, toasts, lattes, teas, and superfood bowls. Ordered salmon toast and lemonade. Neither stood out. Very basic ingredients at Montana prices. Relaxed atmosphere, not packed, good to bring a small child and just hang out. Metered  parking on Montana. It's not a bad spot to get a cold drink and sit outside, but I wouldn't come back for the food.

    5 stars for being open on a holiday! Put in a phone order. I asked for similar items from a nearby resy that was closed, and they were very helpful. Quick, easy, and delicious iced coffee too. Ordered the salmon toast, blta, and poor man's breakfast with side of jam. Awesome lunch on a beautiful holiday!
