Coupa Cafe ~ Beverly Hills

Friday, March 14, 2008 18:02 2 Comments

It’s important to give restaurants a second and possibly third chance, just as it is with people. I tried Coupa Cafe twice when they first opened in Beverly Hills and wasn’t impressed. Early this week, my boyfriend and I were lamenting over how Beverly Hills needs a few better breakfast spots. Since he’d never been, [...]

LAMILL COFFEE CO.

Thursday, March 6, 2008 20:00 4 Comments

I finally meandered over to Silver Lake to experience the much talked about coffee boutique, LAMILL (pronounced lah-mill). This is not, let me repeat NOT, your average, cater to the masses, grab your daily cup o’ Joe and go coffee shop. No ladies and gentlemen, LAMILL takes the art of coffee to a pristine new [...]

Little Next Door

Monday, October 22, 2007 23:47 3 Comments

 
My mom was in town this past weekend and I took her to Little Next Door, the spawn of its popular parent restaurant, The Little Door. I went when they first opened and was very disappointed with both food and service but the ambiance is great! I am obsessed with the imperial violet blue and royal [...]

CRUMBS ~ BEVERLY HILLS

Wednesday, September 19, 2007 22:12 22 Comments

There’s a new Crumb in town and this bakery means business!
Opening first in New York and the Hamptons with ample praise, I was hoping this bake shop wouldn’t disappoint me as so many “trendy cupcake boutiques,” have lately. Located mere blocks from the “almighty,” albeit overrated Sprinkles, I figured this gutsy little bakery must really [...]

Mezzomondo Trattoria — a place I want to call ‘home’

Monday, July 23, 2007 12:32 4 Comments

I’m not sure I should even be writing this review. As far as I’m concerned, Mezzomondo Trattoria, with its cosy neighborhood vibe and its fantastic fresh and simple northern Italian cuisine, is the best kept secret in Studio City. I love being able to cruise in and snag my favorite table at lunchtime (though for [...]

Hi cake lovers! I did a lot of legwork recently and have come up with a bit of a guide to some of the best bakeries in the mid-East Valley, meaning from Encino to Studio City, keeping close to Ventura Boulevard.
This is by no means an exhaustive nor definitive report.
Which LA [...]

Around the neighborhood: 2 hello agains and 1 good-bye

Tuesday, March 20, 2007 6:32 3 Comments

A little while back I wrote up a short review on Rita Flora on 3rd and La Brea.
I recently noticed the kitchen looked dark and decided to check out the web page and found out the kitchen has closed after 17 years of operation but the florist part of the business remains.
While walking [...]

The Highland Perk Coffeehouse

Sunday, March 11, 2007 10:34 22 Comments

You know how it goes, once a respectable coffee house opens its doors in an area that was formerly off the trendy-middle-class radar it’s a good sign that the neighborhood has gone to the diamond-studded-collar-wearing dogs, which, in my opinion, is just what the economist ordered. Highland Perk is to Highland Park what Casbah Cafe [...]
