Guidebook for Los Angeles
Food Scene
My go to place for sandwiches and quiche. Been eating at this cafe for two decades. Fresh food, best sandwiches in all of west Los Angeles, and reasonable prices. Not a tourist destination, unless you're french. It's really a hidden gem- 100 yards east of Venice Blvd on Abbot Kinney.
