Inn of the Seventh Ray
📍 128 Old Topanga Canyon Rd, Topanga, CA 90290
You might mistake the name of this tree-shrouded spot for a laid-back nudist retreat rather than a brunch destination, but fear not—it’s definitely the latter. Here, the Topanga Canyon charm is as thick as the morning fog, the food hits all the right notes, and the leafy patio is exactly where you want to park yourself on a lazy Saturday. It’s a slice of old-school, earthy California that feels like a secret, just with way more clothes and delicious eggs.
