This bustling coffee shop serves up a diverse range of roasted and brewed options. All of their alternative milks (oat, almond, macadamia) are made in-house. But the real star of the show today is their vegan strawberry muffins – they put every other muffin out of business.

Finally, head to over to Clark Street Bakery
📍 139 1/2 N Larchmont Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90004
