Get planning your Los Angeles vegan brunch and breakfast adventure now! 

The only thing this laid-back California vegetarian café is butchering is veggies! You can slide into one of their plush booths all week and relax with a Brazilian Blast smoothie (acai, banana, goji berries, local berries, almond milk, and a unique forbidden fruit blend) and a giant lemon lavender waffle covered in coconut whipped cream (or my favorite, berry topped oat pancakes). Can you think of a better way to start the day?  There’s no shortage of healthy and classic dishes to start your day, and on the weekend, the veggie butchers roll out an expanded vegan brunch menu! 

Ooh, la, la! This French patisserie in Beverly Hills is famous for its perfectly golden, light, and flaky pastries, but its menu doesn’t stop there!

In addition to a never-ending selection of jaw-dropping pastries, you can start your day with avocado toast on house-made bread, topped with lemon or a bowl of their house-made granola with coconut yogurt, blood orange, strawberry jam, and poached pear.
