4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: September 26 | Eater LA

"The vibey, sun-lit cafe from the same owners of next-door Vietnamese restaurant Blossom, Blossom and Friends, offers the perfect cafe-with-free-Wi-Fi situation on a quiet stretch of Ocean Park Boulevard. This feels like a true neighborhood spot: Get in too late and you might miss all the delights of the once-full pastry case (locals will have cleared it out earlier in the morning). That’s not a terrible thing, however, considering Blossom also has a kitchen from which it slings stellar bánh mì (including a breakfast riff with fried egg, pickled daikon and carrots, cilantro, jalapeño, vegan mayo, and side of chicken broth), toasts, and accoutrement to go with the shop’s respectable tinned fish display. Grab a coffee, freshly squeezed juice, and the classic bánh mì with ham, headcheese, meatloaf, duck paté, and garlic butter before you settle in for a while. You won’t even notice the hours pass you by." - Eater Staff
