"It’s difficult to overstate how great a patio can be. And Spoke Bicycle Cafe in Frogtown has a really great - and really massive - patio, plus a good beer list and a solid selection of food you’ll want to eat any time of day. Their vegetarian burger makes us think we could give up beef forever, and we also usually order the simple-but-excellent breakfast bun with soft-scrambled eggs, and the really good California chop salad. Spend a couple hours playing board games and drinking beer on their patio, and Mike from Santa Monica will start to wonder if he shouldn’t look at real estate in Frogtown - a sentence you never thought you’d hear." - brett keating
