Ever since I had my first sidecar doughnut, I feel spoiled. I honestly don’t even bother with other doughnuts now. All of the doughnuts here are handcrafted and you can see the sidecar team making the doughnuts fresh back-of-house all day.
Read MoreIf I am doing happy hour with girlfriends, I love this place because the happy hour food menu actually has options I want to order. I also order take-out from here a couple times a month.
Read MoreThe entire menu is 100% organic, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free and vegan. And, seriously so good. And, so much to choose from.
Read MoreThis restaurant is my spirit animal. There really isn’t anything on the menu I don’t like here - but I definitely have my favorites.
Read MoreI have been obsessed with this place since my Arizona State college days.
Read MoreI have been loyal to Hosum Bistro since high school, when I put the restaurant on speed dial and would call in my order, ditch 6th period and chill on the beach with my best friend. TThe restaurant serves up “californiental cuisine” - think of Asian flavors meets healthy California tastes.
Read MoreIf I am getting a sandwich around town, it will be from here. I love that their sauces, dressings and sides are all made in-house, that their produce always looks so fresh, that they only use natural meats and that the bread is all sourced locally and delivered daily.
Read MoreThis place is my spot. The food. The drinks. The view. The vibe. Everything about Malibu Farm Lido is what I want out of restaurant.
Read MoreAnother favorite spot of mine in lido (a couple doors down from Malibu Farm Lido and with a very similar vibe). This place has an amazing selection of beer and wine from California, France, Italy, Chile and Argentina. I love coming here for happy hour and getting a glass of vino and getting some tartines for the table.
Read MoreA casual spot; but definitely the best poké around.
Read MoreI have been obsessed with this place since high school. It’s a total health food haven with an uncomplicated menu of sandwiches, wraps, soups, salads, amongst other breakfast, lunch and dinner options that all feel homemade. The Orange, CA location that I go to regularly is a house renovated to be a restaurant and feels super homey and cozy.
Read MoreThis place is iconic. You can see the coastline for miles north and south from the Rooftop Lounge. Whenever I have friends in town, I always take them here for a drink and appetizers. If you are a fan of mojitos, they are known for them here.
