Fun in LA
Coffee at Hooked Venice
Are you looking for an amazingly chocolatey and luscious mocha? Look no further than Hooked! They will "hook" you up! Akia's Favorite Drink: Hot Dark Chocolate Mocha Katie's Favorite Drink: Iced Dark Chocolate Mocha
Coffee and Beach Walk at Primo Passo Coffee Co
Akia and Katie have been going to Primo Paso for years! Blocks away from the beach, this is a great sip and walk spot with beautiful views overlooking Santa Monica Beach. Akia's Favorite Drink: Pour Over Katie's Favorite Drink: Shakerato
Walk at Venice Canal Historic District
A peaceful hidden gem just steps from the beach, the Venice Canals offer charming walkways, quaint bridges, and unique homes lining scenic waterways. It's a perfect spot for a relaxing stroll and some great serenity away from the crowds.
Shopping at Abbot Kinney Boulevard
Abbot Kinney is a trendy street filled with stylish boutiques, art galleries, cozy cafes, and some yummy food spots including Salt and Straw! It’s perfect for shopping, grabbing a coffee, or just soaking in the local vibe.
Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook
One of Akia and Katie’s favorite LA spots! Nearly every visit includes a trip up to the Culver City Scenic Overlook for panoramic views of Los Angeles. You can drive up, but they love starting at Super Domestic Coffee and walking through the nearby neighborhoods—including Stoneview Nature Center—before looping back and finishing with tacos at LOQUI. It’s a beautiful 5-mile route with great views, nature, and food!
Super Domestic Coffee
Even if you're not a coffee lover, this cozy spot is worth a visit for its unique candles, curated gift items, and warm neighborhood vibe. The walls are lined with Polaroids of local dogs who’ve stopped by—it's small, charming, and full of personality. Akia's Favorite Drink: Single Origin Pour Over Katie's Favorite Drink: Single Origin Cold Brew
Courage Bagels
Okay...Do you wait 45 minutes for bagels? Transparently, yes. But, these are the best bagel's Akia and Katie have ever had..... so crunchy on the outside and chewy and delightfully airy on the inside. This bagel shop has a variety of delicious bagels, spreads, and bagel sandwich selection. Akia and Katie's Favorite: Run it Through the Garden on a Burnt Everything Bagel
LOQUI Tacos and Burrito Bowls
Looking for a mouth watering taco? Look no further than LOQUI. Their tacos are sent from Heaven above! Katie made the mistake of ordering 3, because 2 doesn't seem like enough right? WRONG! These tacos are so filling, flavored and wonderful. You can enjoy their multiple kinds of meat tacos and veggie and vegan options as well! Don't even get us started on their salsas... Akia's Favorite: Mushroom Taco on Flour Tortilla Katie's Favorite: Anaheim Chile Taco on Flour Tortilla
