The service and food are amazing here! I went recently and sat in the back patio which was really nice and inviting. It's a go-to when I'm in the area.
Don Antonio's
Have been coming here since high school when I need a quick bite. My favorites are the tokyo tori, the miso beef, and I always make sure to get the iced tea as well! The service here is super quick and it's always a nice spot to grab-and-go something...
Sunny Blue
Another go-to when my family is craving authentic mexican food. 10/10 guac and chips and love the lights and vibe of this place.
Lares Restaurant
Classic deli to grab some sandwhiches for the beach. My favorites are the godmother, caprese and when my family's hosting a party we add on the meatballs and lasagna.
Bay Cities Italian Deli & Bakery
Went here for new years dinner last year and have been a few other times. Always a consistently good meal. Love the whipped ricotta and fried calamari along with a few pastas.
Scopa Italian Roots
My favorite pancakes in LA. They're different from your normal pancake but I love the buttery sauce on top and have made the griddle mix at home and it came out just as they do at the restaurant. I usually get the OG, blueberry to share with the hash...
Breakfast by Salt's Cure
This one's an obvious one since I had it this morning. Sometimes I have to wake up at 7 to be one of the first in line on a weekend but the bagels make it so worth it. I love the smoked salmon bagel on burnt everything and the crunchy california is m...
Courage Bagels
I've only been here a handful of times but definitely want to pay a visit soon to get some of their croissants. They have the freshest and most buttery croissants you can imagine and it's a must try if you're in the area.
Petitgrain Boulangerie
A must needed pit-stop on the way back from the airport but also has a good environment to do work. Their spanish latte is delicious as well as their matcha and other coffee drinks and pasteries.
Menotti's Coffee Stop
I've only been here once but am planning to go back soon solely for their corn bread. The ambiance is also very lovely and would recommend going if you're in culver city.
