Here are five orders we cannot stop repeating in L.A. currently! From Lady & Larder’s stunning, farm-fresh boards to the viral olive oil cake that just won’t quit.

boards from Lady & Larder | (Shown above) If you’re big on playing hostess, you probably already know about this incredible drop-in spot for crudite boards and other fresh treats beyond your wildest tablescaping dreams.
The celeb-adored, sister-owned shop just moved to a new location packed with florals, artisan cheeses, farmy sandwiches, and boards of all sizes.
fresh cocktails at cult santa monica | This modern cafe on the 3rd Street Promenade acted fast during quarantine and began canning these adorable cocktails, made fresh (and strong!) in their own kitchen. Pick up a few for a playful and hassle-free addition to your next backyard hang.
Everything from Gjusta | We’ve never met a plate, dish or house-made condiment we didn’t love from Venice’s most beloved market and cafe, Gjusta. Treat yourself to a special dinner in from their full menu (a timeless mix of locally-sourced plates for omnivores) or place a catering order for their inventive pizzas, toasts or famous grain and vegetable salads.
Little House Confections Bomb Ass Olive Oil Cake | It’s the viral olive oil cake that swept the city in 2020 — and yes, it’s still available. What started as a charitable baking project has now become a full-fledged business that has designer turned baker, Liz Roth up to her elbows in daily cake orders. Order and enjoy!
dips + desserts from Botanica | For the Eastsiders, there is always Botanica whose to-go and delivery menu is just as epic as their dining-in menu. We adore the women of Botanica for making magic out of an inventive blend of plant-based ingredients. A meal from this hotspot never disappoints. Order the seasonal fruit galette (above) that rotates between berries, stonefruit and more.
