All Out Moving

Category: Movers
Neighborhood: Redondo Beach

3/8/2012 Purchased a Yelp Deal

My first time hiring movers and it was amazing. They are so fast and efficient, priced less than most which have poor reviews. I hope not to have to move again for a long time, but when I do I know who will be doing my moving for sure!

great service when you need it. Fast and efficient. What else can you say about an apple store? I feel they are all the same essentially. Always full of people/kids trying out the latest a greatest that apple has to offer.

La Petite Crêperie

What a cute little gem! I found this when having lunch with my in-laws. We were going to go to Curious Palate and decided to park on Grand View, thereby parking right in front of La Petite Creperie. We decided this place looked cute and delicious. It didn't hurt that there was a yelp deal for a free sucre crepe with purchase of a savory crepe. We all got different savory crepes and they were fantastic. The sucre crepe was freaking delicious, I could not believe it, and thanks to yelp it was free!!!
The interior is very french and cute, will definitely return here again!

Came here once for dinner. It was good, but not too many veg items that sound filling. Came again for brunch and was really pleased with the breakfast flatbread. Super yummy. As were the truffled potato chips. Definitely should give those a try!

The Coffee Cup Café

really really really great brunch. Go for one of their many scrambles (veg aplenty) or their breakfast burritos. You will wait a good 40-60 minutes for a table, but it's totally worth it. Just go in knowing there will be a long wait and you won't regret it!
If I ever find myself in LB again (this was my first time in the 2 years I've lived here) I will eat here again for sure.

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Super fast at taking orders, really slow at making the drinks. I just change buses here and happened to get there too early one day so thought I would get a chai latte to drink as I waited. I nearly missed the next bus, even though there was no line! The coffee bean I always used to go to in DTLA was extremly fast and friendly. This does not compare.

Chubby's Cruisers

Category: Bikes
Neighborhood: Culver City

2/21/2011 1 Check-in Here

Bought my bike from here, and no, it's not a cruiser. Yes, they do have a few non-cruiser bikes, you just have to look a little harder to find them. I feel that I got a good deal. I bought a basket, helmet, and lights and even though it was closing time, they put everything on the bike for me and sent me on my way. They were not overly friendly or helpful, but also not rude. It was just whatever. Maybe not the best place to go if you don't know what you want and require a lot of help from the staff. But if you know what you are looking for and it's a cruiser, you will def find it here, and maybe more!

Mitsuwa Marketplace

Category: Grocery

2/21/2011 1 Check-in Here

What a great market! How have I never been here before?? I just wish I read Japanese. My first time here and I got a super disgusting tea. My fault, I should have carefully read the label in English. It was a barley tea with mushrooms, kelp, etc. Not the typical green tea I was looking for.

I think this place is quite apparently authentic and there are so many options for take out food too.

I will be riding my bike here again on my lunch breaks in the future for yummy Japanese food and groceries that, in general, I have no idea what they are. But I am adventurous!

Nyala Ethiopian Cuisine

Category: Ethiopian
Neighborhood: West Los Angeles

2/21/2011 1 Check-in Here

Ethiopian food. Growing up in Missouri I never had the opportunity to even imagine what that could possibly mean. I was very glad when I finally got the opportunity to experience it! I love eating with my hands, the sourdough "bread" is really unique and love the spongy texture.
4 of us shared two orders of the vegetarian and 1 order of the meat combo. My only disappointment is not asking them to split the meat from the veg. My friend who is also veg and I didn't care too much though, we just steered clear of the meaty hunks.

My husband and I ordered drinks while we waited for our friends to arrive. Being the adventurous people that we are, we wanted to try the Ethiopian drinks. Big mistake. Don't do it, just stick with what you know. All 4 of us agreed that my red Ethiopian wine I ordered went down like cleaner and had a very cheesy after taste. My husband's beer wasn't so bad in comparison, it tasted pretty much like water with some nasty flavors as an undertone. Just don't do it. Get the Beck's if you must do something out of the ordinary! :)

The food was great, the staff are very friendly, but you probably should ask for refills of water if you want them.

Overall a great experience and I can't wait for my next Ethiopian food excursion.

L'Epicerie Market

Categories: Coffee & Tea, French
Neighborhood: Culver City

Update - 2/21/2011 2 Check-ins Here

Great $3 happy hour. Unfortunately that is only at the bar which only seats approximately 10. Even so, my husband and I were able to get seats there at 6 last Friday night. Maybe this is because it was raining? Or because people don't know about this place yet? I don't know. But my wine was really good especially for only $3! The tapas are small as to be expected, but $3 is still a steal. The food was good. I liked their bread basket as a snack. (they have house made butters, though as a veg, I wish one of the 3 given weren't bacon...) There are also 2 beers for the $3 price, and of course the full menu is available.

Tried three macarons on my way out. They were scrumptious. I love macarons and these ones are really great. The salted caramel was my favorite, next the raspberry and I didn't actually like the lemon because it tastes like lemon bar to me (which I don't care for). But obviously people love lemon bars, and if you do, then try it out!

This review is based on my Sunday brunch experience only (I intend to come back for happy hour and tapas)

This place is cute, but hella confusing. There were 3-4 groups after me and they all looked as lost as I felt. The servers were running around, but never once addressed any of to say "it should be ___ minutes until a table opens up" or "would you like a coffee while you wait?"
After a while we discovered on our own that there is the cafe side where you can order from the bar the same menu as the main area and then take a number and seat yourself, but only in the "cafe area" (the tables by the window on Culver) which is not obviously separated from the "main dining area" (the tables by the windows on Duquesne) Ugh... as it turned out the owner realized there were a lot of people waiting and sat us on the cafe side, allowing us to be served by the server instead of by the cafe bar girls (confused yet, because I am!!!)

We ordered drinks and after all the waiting knew exactly what we wanted to eat. Our drinks were fast, but came in paper cups. I saw most people drinking from glass and a few drinking from paper. Confused again.

Our food came quickly. My husband and I shared the mushroom and swiss scramble (which came to us in omelet form...not that big of a deal but still made me unhappy). It was good, but a little bland. We also got the side of roasted potatoes for an extra $2. They weren't worth that much. We also shared the berry and whip creme crepe. It was good, but again, it lacked a certain intenseness of flavor. That is to say that it was a bit bland.

Overall I was not extremely satisfied with my brunch, which tends to be the case anytime I decided to do a brunch in Culver City. I think CC is more of a dinner and happy hour kind of town and we need to go to SM or the Hills for a decent brunch.

I will be back for happy hour, and soon! It's 4-7, 7 days a week and $3 items. Hopefully I will be able to give a good review after I sample that!
