Arguably this coffee shop started the high end coffee cluture in LA and it still holds up, excellent coffee and in a super cool part of town. Silverlake is the "Brooklyn" of LA so it's def. worth a half an afternoon to get a lunch and shop around the area. The fashion and chic, coolness of this area is almost too much to bear.

The still evolving "Melrose High Street" all started b/c of this centerpiece. Part retail store, part park, it really is a sight to see. If you need a day of reading, relaxing, catching up on work, go here and head to the rooftop park. It's full of RH couches and beautiful ppl hanging out on them. Excellent spot for relaxation and catching up if your in need. Really great restaurants and shopping all near by. Bonus all this is free. I go here all the time to do work and be inspired.
