Coffee & Brunch
Great White (Venice)– My favorite spot for brunch (and it is actually amazing for dinner too). Their breakfast burrito is one of the best I’ve ever had and the shaken vanilla latte is to die for.

Bay Cities (Santa Monica) – The godmother sandwich with spicy peppers (YUM). It is also just a cute little Italian market. Be prepared for a line to order your sandwich, but it is definitely worth it. OR they just launched an online ordering system!
