All-day café · $$

A big day-to-night café on Figueroa with a U-shaped bar and one of the best back patios in the neighborhood, full of olive trees. By day, get a matcha latte and a Kyoto bowl; at dinner it turns sit-down, with koji chicken schnitzel and a fig negroni. No laptops after 5pm.

Counter order by dayOrder at the counter by day and grab any table. Weekend brunch and dinner can be booked on Resy. Metered street parking, plus a paid lot nearby.
