"Why are there so few hybrid bookstores/cafes in Los Angeles? It's a perfect concept. Case in point, The Village Well: a groovy bookstore in Culver City with bold colors and lots of electrical outlets. New releases, a book of the week, watermelon basil agua frescas, smoothies, and almond butter toasts—you'll find it all here, as well as a wonderfully lit space and a large community table where they host meals and conversations.
