HauteMess Gourmet Market

The West Hollywood Lunch Guide

"Let’s address the elephant in the room: Haute Mess has a bad name. But if you can get past the upsettingly vague pun (Is it a kaftan boutique? An upscale bikram studio?), you’ll realize that Haute Mess is a great market and an ideal spot to pick up a grab-and-go lunch. Its location on Beverly Blvd. isn’t large, but there’s a lot going on. There’s a full bakery and sandwich counter, an espresso bar, a separate gelato shop, and a tiny market filled with a variety of charcuterie, cheese, and Italian wine. If you can’t figure out what you’re in the mood for or just want to pick up something before a quick lunch picnic at Pan Pacific Park across the street, Haute Mess is an option to know about.
