Coffee Cartelβ β β β β Offbeat local coffee house with atmosphere that makes you want to hang out there.
Doma Kitchen (Closed)β β β β β Used to be a great Eastern European restaurant. Bounced around the South Bay for most of a decade before closing.
DΕh Creameryβ β β β β An ice cream shop that also specializes in cookie dough. Good selection of flavors for both, and you can mix and match however you want.
El Amigo #3β β β β β Great spot for takeout Mexican food. I particularly like their Chile Relleno. Dine-in, limited parking.
Rival Coffee Co.β β β β β Good coffee and creative flavor combinations. REALLY good breakfast sandwiches. A bit out of the way, but worth it.
Taishi Hainan Chickenβ β β β β Variations on chicken and rice, all of them good.
The Crafted Sconeβ β β β β Not just great scones, but a great variety of scones. Good for breakfast, lunch (they also make βsconewichesβ), a snack, or just coffee or tea.
The Empanada Shopβ β β β β Great selection of both meat and veggie fillings, plus desserts (the chocolate one is intense).
The Press Espressoβ β β β β Good coffee with a wide range of flavored drinks. Small but inviting.
Two Guns Espressoβ β β β β Serious coffee. Small chain in LAβs South Bay that introduced the Flat White to the region in the early 2010s.
Union Pizzaβ β β β β Thin-crust pizzas are good, deep-dish pizzas are REALLY good. My favorite is the Classic Deep Dish (spinach, roasted garlic, ricotta and mushrooms) - and normally I donβt even like mushrooms.
