Great coffee, pastries, and salads. I especially love their homemade lemonade! And it's walking distance, and great if you're too tired to cook. Their soups for dinner are great. Lunch is great too!

If you want to enjoy a brunch with your feet in the sand and have a really good Mojito, go here. I don't like the lunch menu so try to make it before 11AM. Then enjoy a Malibu private beach.

Go to Venice beach to get a more hippy experience of the beach, with street vendors selling trinkets, and tourist shops. You can also spend hours watching the skateboarders.

This is by far one of my favorite places to walk. I love going later so you can catch the sunset there. You can walk and dream of having a little condo on the canals and peek into beautiful places.
