Superba Food + Bread

Tucked into a corner of Lincoln Boulevard in Venice, Superba Food + Bread has quietly become one of those neighborhood spots that locals rely on for just about any occasion. The airy, beautifully designed space feels inviting without being pretentious—a refreshing change from the try-hard vibes that can permeate this part of LA. Whether you’re grabbing a seat on the coveted side patio or sliding into the dining room, you’ll find an atmosphere that’s laid-back yet polished.

The food here punches above its weight for a casual all-day cafe. Start your visit with the bakery counter—the cinnamon rolls alone are worth the trip. For brunch, the cheesy soft scrambled eggs deliver indulgent comfort, while the fried chicken sandwich has earned a devoted lunchtime following. Come evening, the pasta program shines, particularly the corn agnolotti with dungeness crab that gets a perfect lift from fresh lime. The signature crispy brussels sprouts, served in dashi broth with a runny poached egg, have been a crowd favorite since the original Superba days.

This is the kind of place that works for coffee meetings that stretch into lunch, lazy Sunday brunches with friends, or low-key dinner dates when you want consistently good food without the fuss. The dog-friendly patio is a bonus for Venice’s four-legged residents, and the fact that you can usually walk in and get a table—especially at dinner—makes it a reliable secret weapon in a neighborhood where reservations can be a headache.

Superba Food + Bread represents casual California dining done right: quality ingredients, thoughtful execution, and an easygoing spirit that never feels like it’s trying too hard. It’s the kind of neighborhood restaurant every community deserves.
