Morning coffee

A great spot for coffee, breakfast, brunch, or even happy hour and dinner. It can get busy, but even then the wait isn’t bad since there’s benches outside, newspapers and cookbooks to look at, stores next door, and the line moves fast.

Coffee shop/vintage motorcycle store/surfboard maker/men’s clothing store. Great place to get a coffee, a pastry/sandwich, or do work if you need to.

A great spot for coffee and reading the paper. There’s limited seating inside but quite a few picnic tables (some with umbrellas) out front and a big back patio.

Another local coffee roaster. Evidently baristas here win world coffee competitions in Italy. Great place to see the hip Venice seen and experience fancy coffee, but not great for a quick cup.

Food worth the wait

Same owners as Gjelina and also a popular Venice destination. Sort of a gourmet take on a jewish deli with homemade breads, pasteries, smoked fish and meats, and a whole lot more. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing bread, pizzas, veggies, salads, sandwiches, and a host of other gourmet takes on what sounds like normal food. Small, charming spot where you order at the counter then find a seat. Can get very crowded at peak times but we always manage to find a table.

Very popular and embodies the (new) Venice bohemian, rich, grungy, celebrity scene. You can spend a lot here because of all the tasty options, but the atmosphere is casual and energetic, and it's a great value for the quality. New American, farm-to-table food. This is the one place I'll happily wait in line for.

Groceries and drug stores

Farmers market

One of my favorite farmers markets in LA! Held only on Sundays 9am-2pm. They have a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as a ton of prepared food if you want to get breakfast. There’s often live entertainment too. Located at Venice and Grand View Blvd.
