Masarap Cafe serves Santa Monica with pickup orders and catering — Filipino-West African fusion dining for the Westside's tech offices, beach community, and event venues.

Masarap Cafe is roughly six miles east of Santa Monica, on Santa Monica Boulevard (the same road, just east of the 405). For Santa Monica residents, the drive takes about 20 to 25 minutes off-peak, longer during evening rush. Most Santa Monica customers use our service in one of two ways: scheduled catering for their office or event, or a planned pickup trip on a day they are heading east toward Beverly Hills or Hollywood.

The Santa Monica food scene rewards clean ingredients, dietary flexibility, and concepts that can sit comfortably next to the beach-and-bike-trail audience. Our menu fits that brief without losing the bold-flavor identity. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and halal options are marked on every category. Our jollof rice is naturally gluten-free; our adobo can be made dairy-free on request; and our bottled sauces are vegan-friendly.

For Westside catering, we deliver to Santa Monica, Venice, Brentwood, and the broader West LA tech corridor. We cater offices along Olympic and Wilshire (Riot, Snap, Activision, and the smaller startups), private events at residential addresses, and wedding-adjacent functions at Santa Monica hotels. The full-service option includes setup, staff, and disposable serveware; drop-off catering is also available for casual office lunches.

For the beach-community use case — picking up a meal on the way back from a day on the Westside — pickup orders are bagged hot and built to hold for the drive. Stews, rice dishes, and grilled items all travel well; salads are packed separately. Bottled sauces ride in any condition, which is why many Santa Monica regulars grab one with their pickup order.
