Address

1429 Abbot Kinney Blvd

In the middle of Abbot Kinney's boutiques and cafés, it's just a wooden door with no real sign. Opened in 2008, it built its name on produce sourced straight from farms. Regulars keep coming back to the mushroom truffle pizza, thick maple-glazed bacon and roasted eggplant. The back patio catches the daytime sun, which makes it a good brunch spot. Plenty of people pair it with Salt & Straw a few doors down.
