Coffee Cartelβ β β β β Offbeat local coffee house with atmosphere that makes you want to hang out there.
Comics Toons Nβ Toysβ β β β β The best comic store Iβve been to in Orange County. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the selection is incredible.
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.
Taishi Hainan Chickenβ β β β β Variations on chicken and rice, all of them good.
The Comic Bugβ β β β β Open, inviting, and kid-friendly, with friendly staff and a wide selection. Frequent artist/writer signings.
The Empanada Shopβ β β β β Great selection of both meat and veggie fillings, plus desserts (the chocolate one is intense).
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.
