Healthy food restaurant near the Santa Monica Pier. They have many healthy options and even vegan or gluten-free. Our waitress Melisa was very kind to us. We tried the thai and the teriyaki bowl and both were delicious. Very well seasoned and plenty of it (which they also gave us to take away without any problem). For dessert we tried the chocolate cake and it was spectacular. To give it a but, there was a lot of kitchen smoke, but it didn't bother too much either. Highly recommended for the quality of the food and according to its price.

SO GOOD! I was looking for a healthy, gluten free breakfast to go and this was the perfect place. I had a gluten free chicken caesar wrap and they have delicious gluten free donuts too!! My new favourite place. 💓

Honestly, I don’t think I saw this place at its full potential, but I will give you an overview of my personal experience. Hopefully you can find It useful. Food: I stumbled upon Bru’s Wiffle while looking for a restaurant with French toast. This place has a number of French toast options. I chose the Honey Poppers French Toast. These are bite-size crispy chicken in housemade siracha & louisiana hot sauce. I wasn’t impressed. The French Toast was thin and flimsy. It tasted like It was made on sandwich bread. I should’ve known better than to get chicken poppers. I asked for a of chicken thigh. It was juicy and crunchy. Had I known better, I would’ve chosen this chicken option to begin with. Next, I ordered an avocado toast topped with eggs. The melted cheese is a great addition to this dish. However, I prefer sliced avocado rather than the avocado spread. My partner had the Basil Pesto Crispy Polenta Avocado Toast with egg. This is a gluten free meal. The egg is an add on to both Avocado toast options. Beverage: This place has a Watermelon Mimosa that I’ve been trying to imitate for the last four days. It was sweet and fruity. Payment: Bru’s Wiffle doesn’t accept American Express. As an Amex Gold Member, one of the benefits of the card is the 4X points at restaurants. If this was a quick order to go, I wouldn’t mind. But, on an $150 bill, knowing this sooner would’ve probably impacted my choice to visit. Overall, I think that this restaurant had some options would be pretty tasteful. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to try them during this visit.
