Sometimes I forget about how cool a place this is. A local hangout for boaters and neighbors walking/biking by. Multigenerational, and the place has the old fashioned, time worn, same faces inside look as a real LA icon. This is a perfect place near the beach (about 1/2 mile from Venice Pier) for breakfast. Arrive early on the weekends; it starts to get crowded around 9:00 a.m.
Pros: Great food; great coffee; good local feeling; lots of regulars
Cons: outside chairs could be refreshed a bit
