Food Scene

THE BEST FOOD IN LA!! Not joking, it's a little pricey, but so worth it. It's an artisanal bakery in a sprawling, warehouse like space that offers up rustic sandwiches, rotisserie, specialty meats (also cured ones), smoked salmon, pre-made salads/veggies, sweets and so much more (all homemade on-site). Best for breakie, brunch or take-away. Everything is good, but the lox bialy is insane. Your mouth is going to be a happy camper! If it's crowded...right when you get there have someone order and the other find seats, always so many people, kinda overwhelming and not enough seating. Still incredible though :)

You can't beat the decor here, pretty much the most instagrammable place on Abbot Kinney (if you're into that). It's a great veggie restaurant (if you're into that too). Just opened, but has become a new favorite spot!

We love lemonade, there are people in LA that are actually addicted. It's Cafeteria-style serving a seasonal comfort-food menu paired with many types of lemonade. Located on Abbot Kinney you can check out the canals and shopping after! Also it is cheaper than most in venice, so you're wallet will be happy.
