This weekend after a little jog (a prenatal-friendly jog), and trip to the farmer's market in Santa Monica, we stopped by Huckleberry for some take away bread and treats.
The line was huge so I took a few photos while we waited. The space has such nice light and lots of little details, very hard to resist when the camera is near.
I should first say that we've never actually had a meal at Huckleberry. We're in the habit of picking things up to take home so I can't properly review their food. But I always get this roasted carrot salad and it's never that good. The idea is there... roasted carrots with cumin, avocado, and cilantro... but the flavor isn't. Poor carrot salad. I actually bought carrots at the market so I could make my own version. I'll let you know how it turns out.
HOWEVER the white bean dip we tried this time was delish. And their country boule is really lovely. And their scones are good and buttery. Apparently it's loosely inspired by Tartine (where Zoe, the co-owner learned to bake), a very necessary stop on our Bay Area road trip. Soooo excited.
One of these weekends were going to get there early enough to avoid the brunch crowd and actually have breakfast.
And now that the baby news is out, here's the belly progress so far...
Just slightly obscuring the laces... But after dinner it's quite a different story.

Ahhhh! I missed your original post sharing the news - how exciting! Congratulations!!!
In Argentina, (where i'm from) pregnant women don't have to wait in the line, they get what they need rigth away!!!
the food and the shop look hard to resist. congrats on the growing belly!
p.s. - is it wrong that my first thought after seeing the post title was Val Kilmer in Tombstone? 'I'm your huckleberry.'
Cute pic! Okay... I must know... Do you always carry your SLR camera with you?? Or, do you carry a point and shoot? I just purchased a Leica point and shoot -love it! - and am looking at a Canon SLR, but don't know that I'd keep it close enough at all times to get great shots like your's. LOVE your pictures!
This looks so delightful. It's motivated me to walk down to the local bakery for a pastry.
...Really though... perhaps I should jog there... burn off what I'm about to eat?
Lovely shots. I wish I was there!
Congratulations! All I can say, it's gonna be a really pretty baby. Enjoy your growing belly!
Yum! Looks delicious. And what a cute obscured view of your shoes! Hehe
I always think your pictures are so lovely! What kind of camera do you use?
how nice to take the moments that others could consider 'wasted' (waiting in line) and finding beauty instead! thanks for sharing your beautiful images with us.
Wow these are amazing photographs. I love the contrast of clear and blurred. What camera do you use?
This was another place that was recommended to us that we didn't get to on our little trip to LA a couple of weeks ago. The baked stuff looks great!
By the way, we had brunch at AXE and it was great!!
Hi everyone!
Allison - no, of course not. I think of Doc Holliday everytime I hear the word too.
Denise - I definitely don't carry my SLR with me everywhere. And often times, even when I do, I don't take any pictures. This just happened to be a good day.
lahmode- i have a canon rebel xti. Just your basic, entry level SLR. But the key is the lenses, And of course the light. It's all about nice, filtered, natural light.
jora - oh yay! i'm so glad you guys liked it.
ha so cute! love your new belly. Eat up pretty lady!
Tartine is a must stop!!!! I love your photographs... simply delightful.
Aaahhh! You are so sly. I read the word "prenatal" and thought, "That can't be the word I think it is. I must be entirely too tired and hungry to think straight."
Congratulations, Christina! First you paved the way with the chickens, and now you're paving the way with a baby. Thank you!
ooh i've been meaning to try this place FOREVER! it's right down the street from my work now, so no more excuses.
...great photos.
Really useful information, lots of thanks for your post.
