CoffeeBar

April 4, 2012 By Leave a Comment

L.A. coffee lovers unite: at the CoffeeBar, where you’re assured a carefully brewed cup. Located downtown in the old banking district, it’s a great place to relax with a great cup of coffee and a pastry or sandwich. Try the bacon and gruyere croissant, buttery, flakey loveliness replete with flavor. Back it up with the 1906: four (yes, four) shots of espresso, steamed milk, and a dash of vanilla. It's sure to wake you up. Friendly baristas, free Wi-Fi, great sandwiches, delicious pastries, and a clean, modern ambiance make it a spot to hang out for a while… or just to grab a cup to go.

Check website descriptions for walking difficulty, which ranges from easy to moderate. A bargain at just $10 admission.

The Last Bookstore

February 1, 2012 By Leave a Comment

But book lovers love to congregate amid stacks of bound paper imprinted with all manner of literary endeavors and The Last Bookstore sticks around to provide the fun of browsing and leaving through pages. The 10,000 square foot location on Spring Street includes new books, used books, plus a vinyl record shop and a coffee bar. The Last Bookstore also hosts literary events and music performances, so check out their website for schedules, or better yet, stop by and peruse their amazing inventory of books and records.
