WHY A chance to hang out with the local hipsters in a laid-back neighborhood café.

WHAT This funky-cute cottage across the street from Virginia Park is emblematic of the gentrification of Santa Monica’s Pico neighborhood. Pull up a chair at one of the adorable little tiled tables on the ivy-shaded patio and enjoy one of the good-to-okay egg scrambles or rosemary turkey burgers. Lackadaisical (maybe even lazy) service lives up to the café’s name, but hey, it’s cool.
