Take a seat on the balcony of this top notch coffee shop. The space is designed to be minimalist so you can focus on the quality of the drinks. In fact, each drink comes with a card telling you all about your beans or tea. For a slightly sweet spring sipper, try the matcha einspanner.

Tomat

Farm-to-table is a vertical trip when you’re dining on a rooftop! This one in particular offers an LAX-adjacent view so you can watch plane traffic while you enjoy your sticky toffee pudding and paired wine.
