Flower-Filled Coffee Shop, BYOB Ceramics Class, and a Stylish Mezcal Bar
Echo Park is home to some of LA’s most creative people, and that’s reflected in the local businesses that pepper the area. Start your day at Bloom & Plume Coffee, a vibrant shop from renowned floral designer Maurice Harris. Then head to POT, where you’ll take a ceramics class that lets you bring your own drinks inside (yes, including alcohol) and then bring your own creations home. Finally, end the day with stylish mezcal cocktails and dinner at Mírate.
