Guidebook for Los Angeles
Everything Else
My go-to neighborhood breakfast/lunch/pastry binge spot. Cheap, casual, friendly, clean. I get the desayuno classico, or the tortas de queso or frijole. For pastries, the guava empanada is solid.

Great people-watching, good for a stroll, or if you have cabin fever and just want to be outside. Also has a good cafe at the boathouse, w/requisite cold-brew, etc., & lowkey vendors w/tacos, etc.

Good, friendly yoga studio (not pretentious at all, and Kerrick is esp. great). They have discounted early morning sessions most weekdays ($7, I think..) and do a $10 session in the afternoon.

Expensive, but delicious. Moon Juice has some juice and nut milk combos that are unique to it. Not run-of-the-mill. The Golden Milk is deliciousness. If you want your L.A. juice-fix, go here.

More good coffee, and they have those liege waffles that people on Instagram seem really into. More comfy sitting vibe than Andante.

I guess I go to a lot of cafes.Well this is a good one, too, if you're in the area. Nice interior, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so you're not jockeying for a place, & handbuilt ceramic mugs!

The only Starbucks in Echo Park is located in a 24-hour laundromat. I just love this. (It's a testament to how many other places there are to get really good coffee in the neighborhood).

Shopping
Stories is basically an Echo Park institution at this point. Used (and new) bookstore, and also a cafe in the back with a great outdoor sitting area. Good place to people-watch.
