📍Cornell Wine Co. nestled in the Santa Monica mountains. It’s the perfect fall day trip to get away from the busy city 🍂 And only a short drive from Malibu.

One of my favorrite parts is the photobooth and peacocks they have roaming around. If you’re hungry, Old Place, a cute little western restaurant is right next door 🤎

📍Mother Dough in Santa Barbara. Serving up fresh hand rolled sourdough bagels 🥯 & how adorable is the shop? 🏠 I’m not kidding when I say this was one of the best bagels I’ve had, ever. It was perfectly toasted and cream cheese was perfection.

📍Matteis Tavern in Los Olivos. The most perfect place ever 🐴 It’s a resort/restaurant so even if you’re not staying there you can eat, grab a drink, and wonder around the property - it’s truly stunning.

Los Olivos is one of my favorite little towns nestled in the Santa Ynez Valley. After, you can walk around and shop and do wine tasting too 🍷

📍The Culver Hotel in Culver City. In honor of spooky season 👻

I wanted to stop by this old hotel that it said to be haunted 😉 This hotel was stunning - from artwork, to the design, it gives that old Hollywood feel that I love so much. They have a great happy hour list with plenty of drinks and bites.

I can’t wait to come back here for jazz nights and try the Velvet Lounge speakeasy they have on the second floor 🍸

📍Taverna Tony in Malibu. This is genuinely one of my favorite restaurants in LA 🇬🇷

They are a Greek restaurant tucked in the Malibu Market. Their dips, Greek chopped salad, steak and chicken skewers are my personal favorites. I usually sit on their patio but their interior inside is so cute too. Truly my favorite way to spend a Malibu night 🤍

📍Louma Bakery in Santa Monica. Just opened their doors 3 weeks ago and it’s definitely worth the visit 🥐 They had a variety of pastries & fresh breads. The chocolate croissant was so flaky & the ham and cheese quiche was delicious. AND the bread purse? C’mon 🥰

The special part about Louma is it’s named after the owners sister, who inspired their mission to creative supportive trainings and employment opportunities for adults with learning and developmental differences in a professional bakery setting 🤍

📍First Of All in West Hollywood. The cutest little Mexican restaurant in WeHo with the friendliest staff. The carnitas quesadilla was truly one of the best quesadillas I’ve had 🌮 Everything tasted so fresh and the drinks were delicious.

📍Intelligentsia just opened their new location in Santa Monica! I’ve always loved the Abbot Kinney one so was excited about this one. It’s a drive thru / walk up style shop with a nice patio out front 🌿 They have a really good seasonal menu right now too 🎃 I’m loving these new coffee shops / bakeries opening on the westside. taken in Santa Monica, California by @thisspotthough

📍Hermanito in Santa Monica. I will be dreaming of these tacos 🌮 This is a Mexican restaurant with a Japanese twist and they even have a raw bar. The interior and indoor/outdoor seating was so cute!

We got the chicken and birria tacos - both delicious but the birria is what I will be going back for 😋 Also, loved the margs. Definitely one of my new favorites in the neighborhood. Perfect for a date night or happy hour.

📍Good Neighbor in Hermosa Beach. Such a unique a concept - a laundromat + cafe, just separated by a little hallway. I got the banana bread matcha with cream foam top and it was delicious! 🍌🍵 There’s also some seating in the laundromat where you can work, enjoy your coffee, and get your laundry done if needed 🫧 So cool, I’ll definitely be back.

📍Leilō Coffee in Culver City 🍵 Stopped by this adorable coffee shop yesterday and loved it! I love the modern orange / pink aesthetic and the vibe here. They also have a good amount of seating outside.

I got their strawberry matcha made with their house-made strawberry jam 🍓

📍Jackson Market in Culver City - a true hidden gem 🌿✨ Tucked away in a residential neighborhood, so it’s easy to miss. They have AMAZING sandwiches and wraps. My favorite part is the secret garden where you can enjoy your meal or a glass of wine. One of my FAVORITE hidden gems in LA 🥰
