Hipsters and great diner food. What more could you want when you just want an omelette or avocado smothered on toast? They always have cupcakes, the booths are small with weird shapes and the waitressess are not just cuties but super efficient and nice. I am here almost every week.

Great smoothies and shakes! You can even sit where Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen sat in Knocked Up!

Fresh ingredients - we enjoy the omelets and plenty of vegan choices too -- parking can be difficult.

This is a perfect place for family and casual dining. It is like being in a retro-diner. The food is wonderful and the coffee is amazing. It is a great place to go any time of the day, early morning to late at night.

This traditional diner is highly thought of by the locals. An excellent breakfast menu with all the favorites served by friendly staff to give a positive start to your day. I had eggs and with very tasty sauage. Endless coffee refills help you linger longer and enjoy the laid back vibe.

This place was recommended to us and I would do the same if you are looking for a traditional American diner for breakfast. The kids loved their mickey mouse pancakes and our All American breakfasts with unlimited coffee was exactly what we were looking for!

Wow what a big menu for late night dining. The food is great greasy spoon fare. Burgers, eggs, salads, and great cupcakes are all good choices here.

Great place for Diner-type food. Conveniently located few blocks from Santa Monica Pier. Parking in rear. Be patient, if you have to wait for a table as it is a booming eatery. Great service and don't pass up one of their many cupcakes!

We enjoy the breakfast all day but the lunch and dinner selections are great. The tuna sandwich is excellent as are the salads. We frequently stop by just for the terrific cupcakes and hope that our favorite (coconut) is in stock. Parking nearby can sometimes be problematic.

I really love swingers because it has great options for regular diners, as well as for vegetarians and vegans alike - all very tasty - excellent for its type of eatery. The multigrain banana pancakes might be the best pancakes we have ever eaten - they were sooo good! They have good portions are a great price; as well they... More
