4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: September 5 | Eater LA

"A Central Coast cafe I head to for mochi doughnuts, matcha lattes, and creamy Einspänner coffee — just arrive early to have your choice of the bunch. The striking minimalist room, with a projector lighting the menu on the wall and staff calling names as drinks land on wooden trays, helps explain why it’s one of the area’s most frequented cafes. I always check Instagram stories for mochi doughnut flavors like passion fruit, Dubai chocolate, or Vietnamese coffee and cream, and staff might even line up brioche doughnuts depending on the mood. One of Santa Barbara’s best-known pandemic pop-up-to-permanent success stories, it was opened by Tommy Chang and Will Chen in 2023 at Hollister Avenue and Turnpike Road." - Eater Staff
