FarmShop: Brentwood

By: Julia Harris

Farmshop is the latest answer to celeb citing brunch places on the west side of Los Angeles. It is a breakfast/lunch/dinner restaurant/market located in the Brentwood Country Mart on San Vicente and 26th.  A friend and I drove here for brunch, because my neighbor said the food was good, it was a good celeb spotting venue (not gonna lie), and let’s face it – sometimes you need a break from all that drinking after work (drinks have lots of calories!).  The menu features traditional California fare made from fresh ingredients.
​

Friend had the Coddled Eggs, which comes with smoked salmon, mushroom conserva, and brioche toast.  Not a fan of mushrooms, but I tried everything else, and it was pretty damn good!  I had the Egg White Omelet with cheese and spinach that also came with tomatoes and a croissant on the side.  Wonderful.  Coffee was amazing, and the best part?  They’ll put your coffee in a to-go cup, fill it up, and let you take it with you.  Prices are steep for breakfast/brunch.  Twenty-dollar omelet and almost fifteen for friend’s eggs and salmon.  We ended up spotting a B list actor waiting for his table, and all in all it was a good time.  Server was very nice and not at all snobby.  Word to the wise – make a reservation.  We had one, and waited maybe 3 or 4 minutes for them to clear a table and seat us.

Breakfast menu can be seen here: http://www.farmshopla.com/images/menu/breakfast.pdf and Brunch here: http://www.farmshopla.com/images/menu/brunch.pdf.  They are also open for lunch and dinner, and judging by the dessert menu, I’ll be needing to make a return trip. 

There is a parking lot, which can be tight if the country mart is busy (which it always is).  Best part of the menu: the note at the bottom that can be seen in the above photo.  Happy eating!
