"Good news: the subway to the ocean is now a thing and that means you can get to Santa Monica on the weekend without having to cry your way through the 10 Freeway’s traffic. Santa Monica is ripe with excellent brunch spots, but one of our favorites that often gets overlooked is M Street Cafe. Only a few minutes walk from the train stop, M Street is a casual brunch option far away from the hoards of Promenade tourists with good food, a relaxed atmosphere, and a location only two blocks from the beach." - brant cox
