Oma's Puffers (Mar Vista Farmers Market)
7.9
A single-product specialists doing traditional Dutch poffertjes from a three-generation family recipe, cooked live on a traditional griddle at the Sunday market. The mini pancakes land somewhere between a silver dollar pancake and a mini soufflé, served plain with powdered sugar or loaded with toppings like Nutella and strawberries or lemon curd. It works as a farmers market ritual—grab a plate, wander the stalls, and eat standing up while the DJ sets the pace.
Must-Try Dishes:
Classic poffertjes with butter & powdered sugar, Seasonal berry poffertjes, Stroopwafel-topped puffers

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on surrounding blocks—Grand View Blvd closes for the market. Spots near the post office and along Venice Blvd fill first. Arrive by 9 AM for the closest spots; after 10:30 AM expect a short walk.
Noise level: Moderate outdoor buzz—rotating DJs and live music keep the atmosphere lively, but it's open-air so conversation is easy unless you're right next to a speaker.
Dietary Options
Best For
Better for: A novel sweet bite you won't find elsewhere in LA—authentic Dutch poffertjes cooked on a traditional cast-iron griddle right in front of you. Great for families and anyone bored of the usual crepe-and-waffle farmers market circuit.
