If you are at Echo Park Lake, you are there for the ambience, since its triumphant resurrection. Square One hits the mark nicely when you need something cold to drink on a hot day, or even a nosh session. The setting plays the strength here, and a coffee and pastry along the lakeside on a sunny AM is a great little escape as you people watch or even while diving into a good read. Knowing you can get a good snack with an even better surrounding is what hits home here.
