Alcove Cafe and Bakery

This impossibly charming outdoor cafe has become an oasis for laptop toting screenwriters, Eastside celebrities and the new generation of hip, Los Feliz thirty-somethings. From the low, curvaceous brick wall and mismatched chairs to the leafy cover of trees, the outdoor patio’s got personality to match the historic charm of the bungalow that houses the cafe. The menu features the staples of a lazy weekend, even if it is midday Wednesday: crepes, French toast decadently made with brioche and rum, and four kinds of eggs Benny. And do leave room for cake.
