October 31-November 6: AllSaints saunters to Union Square, Fillmore Bakeshop brings sweetness to Pac Heights, and Delfina dishes white truffles.
Entertainment
Break Room
The best coffee shops that double as a cubicle.
Food & Drink
Harlem Place Cafe
What once was Lost Souls Cafe has been remodeled, reopened, and renamed to become a hidden downtown oasis for dedicated java drinkers and creative thinkers. Tucked in an alley off Fourth Street (keep an eye out for swinging string lights), the speakeasy-esque rotating gallery space has free Wi-Fi on receipt, table-adjacent power outlets, comfy kick-back couches, loft ceilings, and around-the-clock pick-me-ups like organic coffee, signature lattes, small bites, beer, and wine.
Food & Drink
Funnel Mill
Santa Monica’s specialty coffee- and teahouse brims with Zen-like ambiance and one of the best brewed cups in town. Spacious and peaceful, the strict no-cell-phone policy, free Wi-Fi, power outlets, and classical music allow for streams of consciousness to flow at will. There’s even a water fountain to quiet your senses further. Take a breather with a flavorful java made using the siphon method; it’s delivered to your table or leather sofa on a silver serving tray. Blow your advance on the outrageous $80 cup of rare Kopi Luwak coffee.
Food & Drink
Bricks & Scones
No need to smuggle brown-bag bevvies and bites into stuffy library stacks anymore; the relaxing, Larchmont family-run shop houses specialty coffee and teas, pastries and sweet treats baked daily, and savory eats. Silence your marimba ringtone and then charge your laptop in the do-not-disturb study upstairs. Steam Lupicia rose champagne tea on the Fido-friendly outdoor patio or take away an almond milk latte in an ecofriendly cup. Additional perk? Flash a student ID or BYO mug for a 10 percent discount.
Food & Drink
Fix Coffee
If you’re jonesing for espresso and an outdoor study space, steal away to this Echo Park spot. Susina Bakery & Cafe pastries and Breadbar panini await, and the Wi-Fi is fast and free. Claim a covered patio table and conduct business meetings. Cell service is limited, so put your emphasis on email.
Food & Drink
Philippe the Original
At the downtown historic landmark established in 1908, the Wi-Fi is free, the booths are private, and the in-house cowboy coffee is still a whopping 45¢. Settle yourself (and your sketch pad) in a worn wooden booth where Bukowski once sat or head upstairs to one of the quieter rooms with a classic French dip. From the candy counter to the lunch lines, the bustling sawdust-strewn establishment is a revolving door of characters and faces, so be prepared to insert potential story lines into your working novel.
