"This was my first time dining at Bardonna. Out of many different options, I decided to choose Bardonna because of the food photos on Yelp as the food looked delicious and the price menu was very competitive which I appreciate it. I ended up making it a dining experience and made a Partiful invite and five of my friends joined me for brunch. It was everyone's first experience dining at Bardonna and we all enjoyed it. I asked my friends if they would come back and they said yes and I also would come back as well as I enjoyed their endless food options. When I arrived, I enjoyed the decor of the patio table and chairs; I love the white and navy chairs as it reminded me of Europe. Sitting is outside and you order inside which it was nice when you have a group of six people as each person paid on their own when they ordered inside which it's such a convenience when you're dining with a group of friends. The food looked just like the photos and every dish was delicious! Food was delivered in a fast matter which I appreciated as it was my first meal of the day since I was hungry. They do close at 4pm so make sure you arrive no later than 2pm to have enough time to enjoy the dining experience if you're dining with a group of friends. I recommend the avocado toast and definitely order the matcha latte as it's pretty and yummy. I look forward to dining at Bardonna again! Happy Dining!"

"European summer vibes with cutest outdoor dining! Casual and chill all day brunch vibes. meh selection is extensive with so many choices for brunch, drinks, coffee. I have never had gourmet toasts like this before, I saw pictures of layers of soft scrambled eggs and whipped burrata and HAD to order it! There are options like with lox salmon or without. Def will be back and love the early hours! Staff is super nice, some of the best service I’ve experienced"

"Bardonna in Santa Monica is officially my number one go-to spot for French toast. If you’re a French toast lover, this place is a MUST. The French toast is perfectly made soft, flavorful, and straight-up comforting in every bite. It’s one of those dishes you keep thinking about long after you leave. What I love most about Bardonna is the vibe. It’s a small, cozy café with a relaxed feel, perfect for a casual brunch moment. And the biggest win? They serve brunch the entire time they’re open. That means even if you’re running late or craving breakfast later in the day, you can still enjoy a full brunch menu which is honestly a game changer. Being so close to the beach makes it even better. Grabbing amazing French toast and then strolling Santa Monica after is the perfect combo. This spot has officially become my go-to whenever I’m craving a really good brunch moment. Highly recommend especially for French toast lovers. 💛🥐🍓"

"🍵 Iced Matcha Latte - perfect and sweetened just right ☕️ Iced Tiramisu Latte - it’s tiramisu in drink form. Beautifully presented! 🖤 BLACK TRUFFLE BREAKFAST PLATE: Black truffle burrata, soft scrambled eggs, chives, sourdough toast. I love truffles! First time having it with burrata and it was amazing! Soft scrambled eggs were velvety soft. Gordon Ramsey would be proud! 🌿 HERBS N' EGGS: Lox, soft boiled egg, heirloom tomato, loaded greens mix, pickled red onion, capers, labneh, sourdough toast. I love lox and this took lox to another level with Mediterranean flavors like labneh and pickles. The jammy soft boiled eggs were perfection."
