Chinatown 2

Echo Park 1
Canyon Coffee
Echo Park$A sunlit Echo Park corner café that looks like a ceramics studio, with soft rock on the record player and very good pour-overs and matcha.
Fairfax 1
Canter's Deli

Los Feliz 1
Maru Coffee
Los Feliz$A calm, wood-shelved Hillhurst coffee bar known for its drip, pour-overs and slow-drip cold brew. Quiet, but never slow.
Venice 1
Gjusta
Venice$$The Venice bakery-deli that has been one of LA's busiest daytime stops for a decade: great bread and pastries, big sandwiches, a garden patio. Go on a weekday.
Westchester 1
Pann's
