I finally had the chance to dine at Blueys in Mar Vista after passing by so many times, and I was excited to check it out with two friends on a Friday night! We were seated outside, which was pleasant, though the experience was slightly dampened by some patrons smoking near a nearby bar, definitely something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to that.The dinner menu wasn't overly extensive, but it had some solid options. I was between the steak and the pasta and ultimately ordered the Homie e Pepe, which was packed with flavor and a satisfying choice, though I believe it may have been replaced by another pasta dish on the current menu. One of my friends, who had previously enjoyed the Bidi Bidi Bahn Mi, opted for the Fish & Chips this time but found himself wishing he had gone with his usual favorite. On the other hand, my other friend ordered that sandwich and really enjoyed it!The overall ambiance was casual and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. While I had a great experience at dinner, I'm holding off on that coveted fifth star until I come back for brunch... I've heard amazing things about their breakfast/brunch menu and I can't wait to try it for myself! So, yes - I'm already looking forward to my next visit...!

Bluey's in Mar Vista is a charming and inviting spot with a relaxed atmosphere. While I'm not a fan of the over-the-counter ordering system--pay first, grab a number--the service was seamless. The staff was incredibly polite and attentive, making the experience feel just as good as full table service.As for the food, it was a mix of hits and misses. The breakfast burrito was outstanding, especially when paired with the deliciously spicy salsa. The crunchy tater tots with cheese, avocado, and bacon were delightful--crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. The matcha latte was average, meeting expectations but not exceeding them.The biggest letdown was the squash pancakes. While they were visually appealing, the flavor fell flat. Without the granola (which overpowered the dish), the pancakes were bland, chewy, and doughy--not the light and flavorful bite I was hoping for. I wouldn't order them again.Overall, Bluey's delivers on service and has some standout dishes, but not everything impressed. I'd return for the burrito and tots but would steer clear of the pancakes.

there was a short line to this place and it looked cute so we decided to check it out! weird that yelp does not push this to the front on the search, when i look for breakfast options in the area... not to be conspiratorial but it really should have popped up?!?place looks like it would belong on abbott kinney - but the prices are a lot more reasonable and the food is actually phenomenal i loved everything on my plate for the whirley bowl. the pineapple salsa had a nice kick and was married perfectly with the picked cabbage and cauliflower rice (which is also basically pickled cauliflower as well). the chutney was also great with all the other fixings. healthy and filling. i cannot wait to go back to have this again! loved my husband's formerly prince bowl too - falafel was nice and crispy, the eggs were perfectly soft scrambled - the nuts and the sesame seeds really added a lot of flavor too. the ambiance is cute and it attracts the hip crowd!!

Food is amazing! Second time coming here while in LA! The bagel and lox with capers, and red onions were amazing both times! Tried the strawberry matcha and it was to die for! Make a jaunt out to Bluey's people. A LITTLE PRICEY. You won't regret it!

We picked up a bunch of lil fatties (breakfast sandwiches) for our fire relief volunteer group. I ate mine after it had been sitting there for a while and holyyyy it was still amazing! The egg was cooked perfectly and the yolk popped, drenching the sandwich in golden goodness. The cheese, bun, bacon - everything came together perfectly. Will definitely be eating here again!

Parking was easy and while it was busy, there was even more seating available in a back patio. It was pretty kid-friendly, and the food was delicious. We got the Blueys Breakfast, chocolate chip cookie, açai bowl, and the fried egg sandwich without bacon. Everything was so fresh and the nutrition was much needed after a few days spent traveling! It was a beautiful space as well, and the folks working were very helpful and friendly. We'll definitely be coming back during our stay in LA!

Perfect place for brunch, coffee or a quick protein shake. There's something for everyone on the menu. Got a latte, green juice and ancient grain bowl with kale, lentils and chicken. Everything was exactly to my liking. Great service and ambiance. I recommend this place.

Came here for brunch on a weekday. The restaurant was pretty busy, but tables become free now and then.I tried The Bowl Formerly Known As Prince, which was tasty but healthy, as well as the Breakfast Burrito. The prices here are average and good for the quality.I found street parking a couple blocks away in the residential area.

4+ Vibrant and airy eatery located in Mar Vista. They have that beachside cafe vibe down for sure. in in terms of service, the ordering styles, like a fast casual type spot where you order at the counter and they bring you your food. I thought the food here was good.I met my friend here for some breakfast and coffee. I ended up the breakfast burrito and we sat at the bench seat looking out of the big window. I could definitely see why people like eating here and why the place is so popular. I would love to come back and try some of their other food items.

I found a clue.. it's Blue's Clue Pleasant charm, welcoming decor, and likable staff. Bluey's Mar Vista corner cafe surviving up a subtle menu full of flavor and presentation. Cozy breakfast atmosphere, the breakfast burrito was good, moist eggs with plenty of avocado and bacon, and the salsa compliments it well. Though, the breakfast sandwich was not worth the price IMO, something you can easily make at home.Good vibes only, would recommend!
