1. Blu Jam Cafe
With locations in the heart of Downtown, on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood, and in West LA, you’re bound to be close to at least one Blu Jam Cafe.

2. Bottega Louie
If you’re looking for more of a boujee brunch spot, Bottega Louie is the place to be. You’ve probably heard of this restaurant, or at least seen some of it’s famous macaroons on Instagram. A popular place to eat any time of the day, it does brunch pretty well, too. Located in the heart of Downtown, it’s a bit of a mission from the West side, but well worth the time spent to get there. They offer breakfast and lunch every day of the week, but a special brunch menu is available on weekends. Brunch classics are offered, as well as more unique dishes, such as lemon ricotta pancakes and lobster hash. If I haven’t sold it to you already, the restaurant’s interior is beautiful designed and aesthetically pleasing. Stop by Bottega Louie for an unforgettable brunch experience.

With locations in both Pacific Palisades and Culver City, it’s easy to keep coming back for more if you’re on the West side. Breakfast foods are available until 12 on weekdays, but served longer on weekends. Perhaps one of the best parts about this spot is how healthy it is; all of it’s dishes are made with organic, wholesome ingredients. You won’t feel as heavy as you would after having a full meal at another restaurant. They also serve a variety of pressed juices and smoothies, to add some extra vitamins to your meal.

A light and airy interior is juxtaposed nicely with an outdoor patio, where you can people watch in the heart of Venice.
