"Knees touch and hearts flutter at Interstellar. An all-day cafe down the block from Third Street Promenade, this is probably our favorite place in Santa Monica to share body warmth and breakfast linguine. The lighting is low, the tiny tables are perfect for low-key dates, and the plant-filled space is no larger than a studio apartment. Share a pork katsu sando or go all out with a breakfast burrito bigger than a baby dolphin." - nikko duren
