Coffee and tea here are excellent quality, though coffee is a tad expensive. Breakfast and brunch are fantastic. Definitely a good spot to walk to for that morning pick-me-up. They also serve wine.

Sightseeing

While the Tar Pits aren't that interesting, they are famous. And the park around them is a fantastic place for picnics. It's also right behind LACMA and home to their free concert series.
