There’s this a thriving exchange between Australia and Los Angeles and no one here is mad about it because that means beautiful Aussie cafés all over LA with real life Australians and their cutie accents taking your order. Bondi Harvest features all-day healthyish dining featuring seasonal produce and excellent coffee in a laid back, beachy environment.
There’s plenty of brekkie options, as well as more lunch-y bowls and sandwiches. They also have a selection of natural and sustainable wines for when you’re ready to trade coffee mugs for wine glasses (or to grab a bottle to go). And all of this enjoyed in an airy space that almost transports you far away from the beaches of Santa Monica to Bondi beach.
2023 Update: After a brief stint in Culver City, Bondi Harvest has shuttered permanently.
