3 Square Cafe

Our carb overload after biking through Santa Monica and Venice: pretzel bread, pretzel bread and more pretzel bread! Under the Rockenwagner umbrella, 3 Square Cafe serves as the sister space to the popular bakery along Abbot Kinney. Pretzel burgers and pretzel sandwiches were taking up the order roll (except for the odd one out who gave up red meat for lent!). We all got to channel our Venice bohemian as we parked our bikes against the yellow fire hydrant and enjoyed our German-tinged 'wiches.

Compartes Chocolatier

I've found my new favorite chocolate store! Everyone, get familiar with Compartes Chocolatier. Off Brentwood's main San Vicente artery, lies chocolate heaven on Barrington. Known for their hand-made chocolates that contain nothing but fresh all-natural ingredients, Compartes will not disappoint. The delicate confections are made in small batches throughout the day - I got a peek of the craftspeople hard at work dipping nuts/fruits in chocolate bowls! I loved how most of the chocolates had a choice between dark and milk - I'm a true dark chocoholic. Look below...
