Experience

Begin Alfred Coffee’s original Melrose Place location and you might catch a celebrity sighting along with your latte. Then try a cheesy Vegemite croissant and flat white at Aussie cafe Strings of Life. Next up is flavorful Mexican food that you won’t believe is vegan at Gracias Madre and Asian-infused Peruvian fare at Rosaliné. Finish it off with a few scoops of ice cream (we can never choose just one flavor) at Salt & Straw.

Route

Alfred Coffee

Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Justin Bieber are all Alfred Coffee fans, so keep your eyes peels for incognito celebrities on your coffee run. Known for excellent espresso and matcha drinks, there’s also great food too.

Strings of Life

This Aussie-inspired all-day cafe combines fresh, California ingredients with Australian staples. The pastry case is irresistible, as are the flat whites featuring Common Room Roasters coffee.

Gracias Madre

Los Angeles is known for having the best Mexican food in the USA and plentiful vegan eats. Gracias Madre combines the best of both worlds with plant-based Mexican dishes like jackfruit carnitas and mushroom fajitas.

Rosaliné

The vibrant Peruvian food at chef Ricardo Zarate’s West Hollywood hotspot include plenty of Japanese and Chinese flavors, like in Peruvian paella-style fried rice with Chinese sausage and shimeji mushrooms.

Salt & Straw

Salt & Straw has taken over the West Coast with their insanely good ice cream and warm hospitality. In Los Angeles, classic flavors include honey lavender, cold brew cashew praline and Arbequina olive oil.
