I've been to Surfas dozens of times but never stopped at the Cafe. Yesterday I thought that I'd give it a shot. Simply the best grilled chicken sandwich that I've ever eaten! I observed many regulars there lamenting that the salads were already sold out. I will be back for SURE!

What a lovely neighborhood cafe! I haven't tasted their food, but I have tasted their beverages and they are good. There is wifi and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The ambience is quiet, perfect for those who need to relax or study.

This place is perfect for bulk items for any culinary recipe. They also have a vast variety of cooking tools. Parking on property, I live very close by and decided to walk. Ordered from their lunch option at their nice little Cafe. I was impressed with the quality of food.

There are more professionally oriented culinary shops on the west side. However, Surfas manages to make more obscure things acessible to everyone, and the cafe is excellent. That said, it does tend to get a little crowded, and as a result, kind of chaotic.

The new Surfas location is AMAZING! I was looking online for a new and used restaurant equipment store and BAM, there they were. About my visit: The new store brings back good memories of the Culver city location and the delicious menu at Surfas Cafe had to offer. I was amazed to see all the new equ...

Note one...the references to a "seedy neighborhood seem to be from people who rarely venture out of OC or east of La Cienega. It's fine.

Great you liked the Culver City location you will love this one.

I stopped in to get a bite at the cafe. Warning...if you are in any way carb limited there ...

Came here because this is supposedly one of the few places in LA that sells fresh yeast. I was completely blown away by their selection of fine ingredients and kitchenware. It's a very uncomplicated store, and I could walk around and just look at everything in my own pace, just soaking up inspiratio...

Nice spot. The staff was all very friendly. I stopped in for a coffee and saw that they have ready made sandwiches so I picked up lunch too. They have a large selection of kitchen tools and cookwear. I'll have to come back when I need to replace my cooking pans.

While the parking lot can be a bit more fun than it should be, Surfas has everything you need for your kitchen. It's a nice hybrid between a consumer and pro outlet, along with classes in everything from bread to sausage to candy. Great selection of pans, tins, sheets, and hardware. Great pastry acc...

This place is great. Went in looking for a fish/deli display for our family business and the customer service was amazing; the kind I like to give to my customers. Everyone was friendly. I found the cheese area such a delight. My mom and I More

If you are serious about food, cooking or baking Surfas is a must visit. They used to be located in Culver City at a( what seems to be) larger venue but recently moved to their current location which is in a somewhat seedy neighborhood. But I m not complaining because they have some unique ingredi...

Great store! Tons of equipment and cooking supplies. I think the prices are fairly comparable to Amazon... honestly I don't care, it's way more fun to shop here and the staff is helpful. I decided to start cooking pizza, so I got everything needed. Now I just need to make a pizza :-)

This place is awesome. If you love to cook as much as I do, this is the place to go for specialty items. They may not carry everything, but they had the curing salt I've been looking for as well as a brand of demi glace that was made with quality ingredients and not a bunch of chemicals and additive...

So much unique stuff to be found here! I always come to buy little gifts for people that they won't find anywhere else. The cafe seating area outside is pretty cool too, I love its colorful, rustic decor, the wood tables & brick wall, very nice! The parking is a bit tight but the place is totally wo...

They almost never have what I've been looking for. Hopefully other people have better luck than me and they are really able to find this place helpful because I have not. I just don't know why I keep trying lol make myself feel dumb.

The team I work with was looking for a group outing, and everyone wanted to have a cooking class (we love food). Being a frequent visitor to Surfas ever since it moved into my neighborhood, I offered to set one up there. The whole experience - from the planning to the actual event - was easy and ple...

This is a great place to get any obscure ingredients or cooking utensils you may need. I searched all over for "grains of paradise" and this was the only place that had it in Culver City. I'm not a big fan of the cafe, though. It's a bit overpriced. The sandwiches are fresh, but nothing special.

The Culver City Surfas is not as big as the Costa Mesa location. But this doesn't mean they have less to offer. I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. Surfas is a culinary delight and I would not hesitate to come here if you have never visited this restaurant supply store. Just be warned...

Great place for the enthusiast and the restauranteur alike!
Features many hard to find high-end ingredients and restaurant grade utensils and equipment.
Cooking classes and a sandwich shop make it a great place to visit even if you're not buying.

I don't know how to cook but now I think I want to. I came here with a foodie friend and the store has everything. I mean, I don't know the use of most of the stuff I was looking at but still. Avoid weekend shopping, it was pretty busy.

We're lucky to have Surfas nearby. My go-to flour for biscuits is White Lily Self-Rising, and Surfas pretty much always has it in stock. Although stock of all other items is somewhat hit and miss, just looking around I've found some really useful items for my kitchen.
