"This cafe and bakery in Hancock Park is always one of our first suggestions to someone looking for a weekday lunch. And, with its big front patio, your four-legged soulmate gets to tag along and be the talk of La Brea. On sunny days, it can get hot out here, but the staff does a great job of making sure both of your water bowls are full at all times. This will come in handy while you eat pork belly hash or cured salmon toast (and your dog stares at you hoping you drop something)." - brant cox
