It feels good to get out and try even more restaurants in the South Bay now that I have, dare I say, a little normalcy in my life. We went to Sophie’s Place for brunch last Sunday. Yes, Super Bowl Sunday. However, we got there early enough to beat all the crowds. Their menu was pretty simple. A few breakfast

As a NYC native, I spent this trip not going to the typical tourist spots, but to stop at different food joints as well. After all, there’s more to NYC than chain

In the last month I’ve reviewed five coffeehouses. I’ve organized a list to help you decide what coffeehouse is right for you. Yes there are more than five coffeehouses in the South Bay, I will review more as I go but I needed to change pace a bit! Catalina Coffee Co. Located in Redondo Beach just moments away from the

Our Daily Grind is located on Main St. in downtown El Segundo. It is one of the very few independent coffee houses in the area. Upon walking in, I saw quaint furniture that reminded me of a grandmother’s house in the country. The chairs were wooden or wicker. Vinyl tablecloths adorned the small tables. Most importantly, no lights were on.

The Blue Butterfly Coffee Co, named after an endangered butterfly native to El Segundo, is a local favorite. A small brick coffeehouse located on busy Main Street, the eatery has only six dining tables on the interior and two small patio areas on the front and back of the establishment. The dining area is bright and airy thanks to skylights

Located in a small strip mall on the busy intersection of Lomita and Hawthorne is the Healthy Bean. Upon entering the coffeehouse, one notices the high ceilings, several arm chairs, small dining tables, and a bar area complete with small lamps and outlets, perfect for study or working on a laptop. Soft music was playing and the dining area was kept
