Dorothy & Theodore
Things To Do
Community Christian Alliance Church (CCAC)
Come join us for Sunday worship here! English service begins at 9am.
Cafe Dulce
Their blueberry matcha latte is our guilty pleasure! 10/10 would recommend.
Salt & Straw
Dorothy's verbally professed "one true love" (until she started dating Theo...)
Wanderlust Creamery
What can I say? The ice cream options in Los Angeles abound and they are AMAZING. If Salt & Straw's creamy (sometimes crazy) concoctions don't appeal to you, stop by Wanderlust for travel-inspired ice cream flavors. It definitely won't disappoint.
Copa Vida
The location of our first date! If you want to purchase coffee beans, keep an eye out for their yellow labeled bags! Those are bomb. :)
Guisados
Get their taco sampler plate!! You'll get the all-stars of their braised meats and they're T_T.
Daikokuya
Our favorite ramen spot in Sawtelle, which is right by UCLA!
El Chato Taco Truck
A late night favorite of ours (open after 9pm, closed Sunday and Monday) during college––get their al pastor (with pineapple!), lengua, and cabeza tacos, and wash it down with an ice-cold pineapple juice!
Han Bat Shul Lung Tang
Have a great down-to-earth brisket stew to beat the cold and (potentially) rain. Salt to your own taste, and add in as many green onions as you want (Theo recommends putting enough to make the soup hardly visible).
Kang Ho Dong
Treat yoself. It's not AYCE, but it's arguably more satisfying than lower quality AYCE, with great quality meat and excellent service. Go for lunch or early dinner to beat the lines!
House Roots Coffee
Get great coffee without driving into LA proper. Pick up a bag of Heart beans here, if you'd like––it beats paying for shipping! And if coffee isn't your thing, their specialty iced teas are honestly pretty great. Like, we order them instead of coffee sometimes.
8oz poke
This is one of our go-to food places whenever Dorothy comes down to LA. It's our favorite poke place!
