They have one heck of a business plan! Their food, coffee and customer service is all equal. You like the coffee just as much as you like the friendly barista. -Danielle Keene, Top Chef Just Desserts
Order everything. Seriously. But if not, then get the squash blossoms with ricotta, tricolore salad, and the pizza with bacon, sausage, salami and tomatoes.
One of downtown's newest literary landmarks, the Last Bookstore is a cavernous space housed in an old bank building. It houses a wide variety of books plus vinyl records and a coffee shop. Read more.
Pick up some baked goods or macarons on the way out. Tamara is an amazing pastry chef in residence, don't miss out on tasting some of her brilliance. And the packaging in the marketplace is a treat.

Here, the city's best bartenders, including Eric Alperin & Marcos Tello, mix cocktails in a speakeasy-like space. Try the Holland Red Light, a cocktail made with Genever, the Dutch-style gin. Read more.
They usually arrive around 730pm. Good for cheap late night cravings & after club eats. $1 small street tacos & $4 burritos & quesadillas. Try the carne asada tacos & quesadillas.
Love, love, love this place! One of the best bars in the Hills. Lots of people watching activity and it's the pretty people, too.
I loved everything about this place. It's rustic & homey, and the atmosphere is great. Get a few things & share, because the plates are small. The lamb meatballs & the rock farm greens are delicious.
Without question one of the best restaurants in LA. No trendy bullshit, just really really well executed simple food.
Ricky’s Ensenada-style fried catfish tacos are among the best in town. The fish is crisply coated in a light and magically greaseless jacket of batter; the fish within is remarkably tender. Read more.
WACKO is a fun gift shop, you never know what strange trinkets you'll find each time you pass through the door. Also an art gallery in the back.
As my friends would say, it's "tres hip." Great place to grab coffee or a quick meal, shop a little while you wait for your drink, and then get some work done on your laptop.
Pretty much can't go wrong from the outdoor seating, to the great sandwiches (especially the breakfast sandwich), and the tasty desserts
With chef Antonia Lofoso at the helm, the house-made pastas and composed entrees are better than ever. Start with a superb cocktail, then venture over to the extensive wine list. Read more.
From roasted grapefruit to short rib hash to multiple egg preparations, there's something on this menu for the lightest appetite or to wipe out the most serious hangover. Read more.
Must haves: pea toast, buttered cod and monkey bread. Awesome food & good atmosphere for dinner
If you want to try multiple flavors without double scoops - get the split scoop! Lots of awesome flavors - I recommend the "stumptown coffee & lovenuts" with the "sea salt & caramel ribbons"
The macrobiotic bowl with avocado and the irresistible coconut cream pie were amazing!
The best green juices in the world - 10 or more ingredients and no fruit. Great raw food options to go or eat in. Try their collard green hummus wrap, synchronize juice and açai bowl.
The cortado was perfect! Definitely a must when in Venice. Also the staff is crazy nice. They sent me off with an extra cold brew they made.
Grab a drink and enjoy the view. Reservations are recommended if you are with a group!
I was talking to one of my friends who lived in Honolulu for 20 years. She said Poke-Poke was better than any place she ate at in Hawaii. I love this spot, I usually go with Wasabi Poke with the works
The Kurobuta pork belly bánh mì ($10.45) has been a signature sandwich since day one. Read more.
The sweet potato sandwich is divine. Great combo of sweet and savory. I will go there again just for this sandwich.
Everything here is good. It's all quite small, except for the fried chicken sandwich, which is inexplicably enormous (and delicious).
Jumping Jack smoothie is so amazing. Super light but refreshing. I'd buy this everyday if I could.
Absolutely a great place....bagels are delicious....try the veggie bagel...absolute bliss
