It's just a simple spot around Fairfax and Melrose, which means it could be perfect for a little breaky after a heavy round of shopping. Decor is simple (white accented with copper), and all the fo... read more
Small, friendly, and inexpensive for L.A. Focus on seasonality and homemade: even the sodas are concocted in-house. Rose petal lemonade and gingerade are standouts. Sandwiches, salads, soups and de... read more
There's so much shopping in this neighborhood. This is the spot to recharge. Deli case is always full of salads (both greens and pasta-based), plenty of desserts, and sandwiches are made to order. ... read more
An order-at-the-counter joint, with reasonable prices and goofy dish names, like 'Ham It Up', 'Sunny Life' and 'Snow White'. Noone still thinks crepes are fancy, right? Besides build-your-own, brea... read more
Huge warehouse space turned into something close to gorgeous. Happy green paint and a huge skylight. All in the name of good coffee for the brave souls living and working at the eastern end of Down... read more
Difficult not to notice that this huge cafe is brightly colored. Chairs were painted by high school art students, and the vibe is fully, celebratorily Mexican. Slightly more elegant than the rest o... read more

Glendale isn't known for food (except the Armenian joints), especially not trendy little boites. This spot may not win any culinary awards, but residents are thrilled to have something in the other... read more
The beloved pier location closed down, but this equally artsy, almost as picturesque replacement has sprung up on Lincoln. Writers strongly encouraged, natch. Breakfast served all day; scrambles, p... read more
Marina del Rey is a chill, sunny little town on the beach, with lots of yachts skimming by and people with time on their hands. This is the archetypal restaurant. Breakfast and lunch at outdoor tab... read more
Venice has never gone full-bore gentrified. Sure, some celebs dot the beach, but it's generally a rough and tumble kind of place. Can one hotel change years of slightly scary tradition? Hotel Erwin... read more
No lines here, folks. Been popular since day one, but lines are not allowed. Rather, each person is escorted to their own barista. So as not to get lonely, of course. Another lovely location, just ... read more
