"Chances are you’ve encountered Go Get Em Tiger, a third-wave coffee chain with locations in Los Feliz, Santa Monica, the Arts District, and beyond, at some point. What started as a small Grand Central Market stall has turned into a total caffeine empire. What’s the secret to their success, you ask? High-quality coffee that ranges from strong cups of drip to a sweet, simple iced version we like to sip whenever we need to feel, we don’t know, something. Their Larchmont location also has a few good breakfast options - our favorite is the baked egg with chorizo, where sausage, eggs, cheese, and tomato are baked together in a pot of oozy gold." - Kat Hong
"With multiple locations throughout the city, Go Get Em Tiger is definitely in the running for the title of “LA’s Most Well-Known Coffee Chain.” It also doesn’t hurt that their latest Santa Monica outpost has an airy, outdoor seating area. The patio only has a few tables, but pair them with one of GGET’s excellent lattes, sandwiches, or simple and sweet iced coffees, and you’ve got a winning combination, ideal for everything from people-watching to killing some time between Zoom calls to finally penning your “Unnamed Pandemic Horror Screenplay.”" - kat hong
"GGET x Louie Capozzoli Long Sleeve, $33 Look at this long sleeve shirt. Tell us that you wouldn’t be the coolest person in the tenth grade if you had been wearing it (and in our case, didn’t have severe acne and braces). You just can’t." - kat hong
"This second outpost of popular Larchmont coffee shop Go Get Em Tiger has everything we like about the original and more. The coffee is as good as ever and the food is interesting, but the space is bigger and there’s a giant patio out front filled with actors rehearsing lines for their self-funded short films. As well as their legendary waffles, the Los Feliz location more food options - be healthy with a grain bowl, and less so with an excellent chicken sandwich. If you can leave without something from the pastry case, you’ve got more discipline than us." - Jess Basser Sanders
"Cookbook is where anyone who cosplays Alison Roman will inevitably spend a lot of money. This white bungalow is the third and largest location of the boutique grocery store, stocked with tinned fish, biodynamic wines, and farmers' market produce spilling out of rustic baskets. The main reason to go here, however, is for a lovely al fresco lunch at the attached cafe. Curated by the Jon & Vinny folks, the menu is essentially a collection of fancy sandwich-salad-soup combos, most of which are quite good. You can take in the sunshine, slurp $14 chicken broth, and eat a buttered cheese toastie filled with caramelized leeks in true "Larchmont chic" fashion." - brant cox, sylvio martins
