Santa Monica French Toast

4/11/2019

I heard about the Cutting Board through some recommendations and decided to give it a try. I got the Santa Monica French toast and my husband got the Tofu Scramble and the food exceeded our expectations. The French toast was amazing and I'm constantly craving it, my husband has me making him the tofu scramble at least once a week, we're hooked! I was a bit disappointed when they told me that they don't serve alcohol anymore but the food definitely made up for that.
We recently had a birthday lunch for my husband and he only really likes pies so we decided to order some pies from here for his lunch. We ordered an apple and a strawberry the day before, they were fresh out of the oven when they were picked up and my house smelled so good when they got here, they tasted even better! The apple pie was a little too cinnamon-y but still great, the strawberry was my absolute favorite, the crust stayed together, the filling wasn't drippy and it was absolutely delectable.
I wish we lived closer so we could dine here more often but we highly recommend this little cafe to anyone who enjoys some awesome vegan food!

I'm not a vegan, but was looking for a good breakfast after taking a friend to the mesa airport. This place had a lot of mixed reviews- but most of the bad was about service not food so i thought I'd try it out as I don't trust many people's negative service reviews.

The service was fine. Nothing exceptional but not rude or bad by any stretch of the imagination. The decor of the place is fun and inviting. The patio area outside is nice too. Lots of ads for open mic night and live music makes me want to come back to check those out.

I thought the Santa Monica French toast sounded good and had some good reviews. It was fantastic! The bread was so good and super fragrant. It felt like a $20 plate but was only 10 bucks. The almonds and strawberries topping it were the perfect touch. The potato hash was really good too, liked the sweet mixed with the regular and a few purple- was tasty. The whole meal felt like a nice homemade, healthy dish.

Some better non-coffee drink choices would be nice. $6 for an o.j. didn't sound appetizing. A minor holdup to a great overall experience!

I'll preface this by saying I did walk in 2 minutes after they opened. I ordered the Santa Monica French toast, which looked interesting when it arrived 10 minutes later, but it was a blob of raw dough inside and inedible. The potato hash was also a shade over raw, and barely warm. If the food isn't ready - DON'T serve it!

This is my special place. The food is some of the best--vegan or not. I feel like it's made with love and that always makes the difference.  The first time I visited TCB, I tried the Santa Monica French Toast and Tamari Tofu English Muffin and I don't know which was better!  As a vegan, you don't always get tasty and healthy but with these two options, they were one in the same!  I also spent my first Mother's Day there and loved that they took the time to make the moms feel special by giving out free flowers!  The service is always great, the ambiance is nice and serene with a killer playlist softly playing.  If I had one critique it's the distance it is from my place, otherwise, I'd live there!
