"What It Is: An Echo Park coffee shop that serves good food Perfect For: Lunch, Keeping It Kind Of Healthy When we dropped into this little coffee shop recently, we immediately thought of Destroyer. Similar minimalist menu, similar bowls containing hidden things, same coffee machine that looks like a spaceship. Which all makes sense, considering that the chef used to work at Destroyer. This place has more of a neighborhood hangout feel, with the added bonus of serving great food. The menu changes regularly, and is heavy on the fancy salads. We particularly liked the little gems with avocado and an XO dressing we’d happily eat on its own. Verdict: This is a great spot when you’re in the mood for a not-boring salad. We’ve added it to the Hit List." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, brett keating
