Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Venice Beach

"République boasts a delicious variety of breads, but it’s mostly known for its multigrain bread that satisfies the taste of any health aficionado who’s looking for a little carb fix. Set in the original home of LaBrea Bakery, République seems to have inherited the 20 year of tradition for making amazing breads, and everything coming out of their oven is so overwhelmingly good. République, 624 South La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, CA, USA + 1 310 362 6115"

"The space is famously known because it was built by Charlie Chaplin and Roy Sheldon Price in the 20s!. Start off with the house-baked bread with drippings, then the steak frites or classic tournedos rossini with foie gras and truffles. Don’t miss out on their weekend brunch menu, as well as their oyster and charcuterie selections!"

"Truth be told, all of Huckleberry's baked goods look insane. I ate there with my friend last semester and we both could not decide what to try for a solid 15 minutes because we were so overwhelmed by all the sweet joy our eyes were beholding. Although they're not technically a cookie, their maple bacon scones brought me right back to my days living as an expat in London last semester."

"Sandwiches , Cafe/Bakery"

"This stark French bakery/cafe has delicious food, affordable prices, and efficient service that’s perfect for when you’re in a rush. Plenty of people come to Chaumont just to stock up on their fresh daily pastries and we don’t blame them. But we like to sit for a few minutes, scarf down the spicy tuna sandwich, and then pick up some pastries to-go."

"Located on 4th Street Retro Row near the Carroll Park neighborhood, WeOp excels at breakfast and top notch coffee. It is tiny, but worth checking out for their selection of baked goods and roasted coffee from Washington and the Inland Empire. We enjoy their "Shmancy" drink which includes cold brew coffee, angostura bitters, and sparkling water."

"Next up is Wide Eyes Open Palms, situated at 416 Cherry Ave. With five stars out of 425 reviews on Yelp, the breakfast and brunch spot, offering specialty coffee and more, has proven to be a local favorite."

"Not that y’all need another 5 star review as you’re so beloved, but we have been coming here since they opened and adore everything about this place."

"Established in 2012, owned and run by Long Beach native, The Attic is located in a 1920s craftsman style home where you can enjoy some of the best Southern cuisines SoCal has to offer. Who can say no to chicken and waffles?. The Attic’s fried, all-natural chicken breast topped with their signature southern gravy and green onions stacked on top of a Belgian waffle with two fried eggs is a must-try."

"They serve mainly American food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They are famous for their Mac N Cheetos, something that sounds exactly as good as it will taste. The ambiance is perfect, as they converted a bungalow into an outdoor restaurant."

"For most visitors with limited vacation resources, heading to Europe to see great works of art from the Renaissance masters is about as likely as a trip to the moon. Thankfully, for visitors to Pasadena, there’s a more convenient and inexpensive way to do that. Featuring a towering Romanesque spire, impressive old-world architecture, and a mural of the Madonna rivaling those in Italy, the Church of St. Andrew has been a Pasadena icon since it was built more than a century ago."

"You needn’t go to Europe to find some amazing Renaissance masters’ art. As it turns out, you can find them in California at the St. Andrew Catholic Church!. For years, this church has been among the best ways to view such stunning work, and it’s made its mark as one of the great choices when it comes to what to do in Pasadena."

"To non-Angelenos, going to a screening in a cemetery may seem strangely bleak (or borderline insane). However, once you arrive at the Forever Cemetery you will instantly understand why locals love it. Lay out blankets and pillows on the grassy lawn, pop open a bottle of wine, lean back with your date and take in the warm Southern California evening as you watch whichever classic or cult classic movie is being projected on the cemetery’s enormous screen."

"Hollywood’s answer to Père Lachaise or Highgate is off Santa Monica Boulevard, behind Paramount Studios. At Hollywood Forever Cemetery you can pay your respects to the leading lights of the Golden Age of Hollywood, and catch a glimpse of the Hollywood Sign. Among the household names here are John Huston, Judy Garland, Rudolph Valentino, Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Rooney."

"Quiet, big, secluded, and full of art galleries, historic buildings, and a theater, the Barnsdall Art Park is one of L.A.'s best-kept secrets. Start with a tour of the Hollyhock House, the first Frank Lloyd Wright project in Los Angeles; the building has a fascinating history. The Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery (LAMAG) and the Barnsdall Gallery Theatre, built in the mid-century, play host to excellent exhibitions of contemporary art, plays, and panel discussions."

"With views of the Hollywood Sign, this park in East Hollywood is a happening spot, especially in the summer, with a full lineup of fun events. Go for the expansive lawns and artwork, but stick around for one of these events, if you can snag tickets. Some of the most popular include the wine tastings that take place during summer months."

"At eleven and a half acres of land, Barnsdall Art Park is not your average LA park. Inside, you’ll find Frank Lloys Wright’s stunning Hollyhock House, which may soon become a World Heritage Site. You can also visit the LA Municipal Art Gallery, and participate in local art programs, ranging from ceramic classes to theatre."

"This discreet location on the border of Beverly Hills and Century City hides an intimate, inviting space, with framed art hanging on brick walls, bright blue banquettes, and a lively crowd. The Amalfi Coast-inspired menu by chef Michele Lisi contains plenty of seafood prepared Italian-style: tender-all-the-way-through octopus with olive oil mashed potatoes, crudo dressed in lemon and Tuscan mint, and excellent branzino."

"Fantastic place that really captures the essence of modern Italian food. I'm from Milan, and I had to keep pinching myself to remind me I was actually..."
