I go to L.A. just about every month. Sometimes Mike comes with me. There’s a lot to do there and there are always new places to go.

Of course we always go get coffee. Proof Bakery: 3156 Glendale Boulevard, Los Angeles, has fancy breakfast pastries, pretty desserts and great coffee.

Pretty coffee.

Figaro Bistrot: 1802 N. Vermont, Los Angeles. One of my faves! Fabulous atmosphere and great food. Of course really yummy espressos and pastries, too.

Of course we always go to Intelligentsia in Pasadena when we’re in L.A!  The interior of this location is the neatest one.
