West Adams

Our West Adams Favorites

One of the best parts about living nearby is having one of LA's most exciting food scenes just minutes from your front door. Whether you're grabbing a casual coffee, planning date night, or meeting friends for dinner, West Adams has become a destination for some of the city's best restaurants.

Our go-to spots include:

• ☕ Highly Likely for morning coffee, breakfast meetings, or settling in with your laptop. We're in love with the fish & chips with yuzu aioli!
• 🍝 Michelin-recognized Cento Pasta Bar for handmade pasta, wine, and one of our favorite date-night patios (get the sweet corn agnolotti!). Next door, Cento Raw serves the best raw seafood in a super chic environment.
• 🥙 Mizlala West Adams for crave-worthy Mediterranean fare - we never say no to the charbroiled chicken or crispy Brussels sprouts.
• 🍽️ Alta Adams for beautifully executed seasonal California cuisine - by Chef Keith Corbin - in a warm, neighborhood setting.
• 🍷 Adams Wine Shop to discover a new bottle or pick up something special for dinner or a gift.
• 🍜 Mian when you're craving spicy, hand-pulled noodles. Get the fried chicken as an appetizer!
• 🌮 Taqueria Los Anayas for some of our favorite tacos in the neighborhood. Perfect for big parties, too - order a platter!
• 🔥 Johnny's Pastrami for burgers, pastrami, cocktails, and dinner around the fire pit. The bar next door is so fun!
• 🧀 Chulita for margaritas and the cauliflower queso that's worth ordering every single time. Come for the food, stay for the chic decor!
• 🍪 Fleur et Sel for amazing cookies and brownies, that will have you craving more.
• 🔥 And don't miss Maydan LA and the adjoining Compass Rose at the newly opened Maydan Market - a vibrant food hall centered around live-fire cooking, with standout concepts ranging from Oaxacan and Afro-Mexican cuisine to Thai barbecue, Middle Eastern specialties, wine, coffee, and artisan goods. It's the kind of place where everyone can order something different and leave happy.

Daily errands are just as easy, with the new Whole Foods on Jefferson, plus Sprouts and Trader Joe's all just a short drive away. Between the incredible dining scene, neighborhood coffee shops, and convenient grocery options, West Adams offers the kind of everyday lifestyle that makes Los Angeles feel surprisingly walkable, connected, and full of local favorites.

In Jefferson Park, have fun at Leslie N Shaw Playground, explore the library next door, enjoy a delicious mango parfait at Cafe/5, experience the magic of Harold and Belles or Papi's Tacos & Churros. There's a new nail salon around the corner and even a fun new bike shop next door.

Enjoy making your own pottery at POT Gardens a few blocks away. Or even customizing your own wine at the Blending Lab on Adams.
