Brentwood Country Mart

Meet, park, and fuel up

225 26th Street · Santa Monica, CA 90402

Open since 1948, the Country Mart is the unofficial clubhouse of the Westside. Shirley Temple shopped here as a kid; Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow, and a rotating cast of neighbors still do. Grab coffee, use the restroom, and treat this as your base — street parking deeper in Brentwood Park is tight and unwelcome.

Look for

The red barn courtyard and the clock-tower gable on 26th Street.

• Opened in 1948 as a neighborhood market
• Sweet Rose Creamery is the classic post-tour stop
• Best place on the loop to park a full-size car

This is a working shopping courtyard. Don't leave a running car in a stall.
