We're old school,
our baristas don't just press buttons!
We've already mentioned eastern Los Angeles' artistic community, and few icons could better embody this than Chicken Boy, across the 110 Freeway in Highland Park (a few doors down from the Highland Theatre on Figueroa St)

The annual Monterey Hills Jazz & Blues Festival, just up the hill in Budd Weiner park

Breathtaking views of downtown Los Angeles' skyline await just around nearly every trail's bend near the top of Ernest Debs Park and Recreation Area

The hillside above the Audobon Center

Perhaps the most surprising, and thus most photographed aspect of the park is its hilltop pond, with shaded benches and spendid views of downtown Los Angeles' skyline as well as across the Arroyo Seco through Highland Park and Eagle Rock


Hills, and hills, and yet more hills. The areas dramatic, eye-popping sculptural hills come into full relief as the sun sets



Any night at dusk you're likely to run into many people out enjoying the day's close in this tranquil setting. Here hikers, dog walkers, and even a group of kids midway through a game of Risk sitting at the ponds edge all enjoy a spectacular spring sunset

Looking into the Hermon valley from near the top of Monterey Hills.
If you look carefully, the pale yellow building in the center of this picture, near the bottom, that's our shop! (this view is close to looking directly north)

We're fortunate to be nestled within the Arroyo Seco valley, bordered by beautiful parks and fun urban landscapes. If you've not "discovered" this part of Los Angeles yet, stop in and we'll get your adventure started.
