I used to work around here and loved the walk from Venice Blvd down Abbot Kinney or Electric Ave to Abbot's Habit to get a sandwhich or (more frequently) chai or coffee. I've never had a bad experience here and their prices are comparable with other more major chain stores. Their baristas are friendly and often suggest something new. I'd gladly go back when in the area.
Cons: hardly any parking
