Deli · 27 tips and reviews

LAistLAist: Order up an "Uncle Leo" (bagel, lox, egg, onions) or go easy and just get a bagel with smoked trout and cream cheese. And when you're finished, take a black and white cookie to go. Read more.

2. Paper Or Plastik Cafe

8.0
5772 W Pico Blvd (at Ogden Dr), Los Angeles, CA
Coffee Shop · PICO · 109 tips and reviews

LAistLAist: Doesn't take a Russian hack to reveal that I'm a shakshuka-holic. Or that I have a serious coffee addiction. This cafe is a solid choice for each craving, but is unmatched in putting the two together. Read more.

4854 Fountain Ave (at Vermont Ave), Los Angeles, CA
Breakfast Spot · Little Armenia · 114 tips and reviews

LAistLAist: The service is homey, the menu is robust, and Instagramming your plate still feels gauche here. Do I have to wait 30-45 minutes for a table on the weekends? Yes. But I'll take that as a good sign. Read more.

5904 N Figueroa St (at S Avenue 59), Los Angeles, CA
Café · Highland Park · 31 tips and reviews
