Seriously, who was in charge of naming all the berries? They did fine with blackberries and blueberries, but strawberries and raspberries make no sense. And then you get to boysenberries, lingonberries, huckleberries, and snozzberries. Are they even real? Turns out most of those are actual berries, but it also turns out that eggplants are berries, so we’re still pretty confused.
Whether or not you care if huckleberries are in fact berries and not something Roald Dahl made up, you need to be eating at Huckleberry, a cafe and bakery in Santa Monica that feels like it’s been there forever. They may not sell anything containing actual huckleberries (yep, they’re real), but this is one of our favorite bakeries on the Westside. Actually, it’s one of our favorite spots on the Westside, period.
In a world of grain bowls and cruffins and maple bacon goat cheese pine nut donuts, Huckleberry is decidedly old school. There’s nothing on the menu that you haven’t seen before – it’s just that those things are better here than anywhere else. Kale caesar salads, fried egg sandwiches, chilaquiles, and cinnamon rolls are all present. But that cinnamon roll is easily one of the best in town, and the fried egg sandwich is the platonic ideal of comfort food. Which is basically what Huckleberry is: comfort in restaurant form.
